I have scary eyes. I look like the guy in 'American History X,' yes. I remember coming home from school and asking my mum if I could get an eye transplant, and of course she declined.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

If you don't have time, the truth is, you don't have priorities. Think harder; don't work harder.

It isn't enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

The way we measure productivity is flawed. People checking their BlackBerry over dinner is not the measure of productivity.

I'll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

That's precisely the question everyone should be asking-why the hell not? - Why not you, why not now.

However logical our induction, the end of the thread is fastened upon the assurance of faith.

If you want someone to do a good job, give them a good job to do.

I would never want to see myself viewed as beating the drums of war, ... but I would rather live with that image than look into the mirror and see a member of Congress who failed to do his duty.

I mean, I guess you could say I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

Schools and libraries are the twin cornerstones of a civilized society. Libraries are only good if people use them, like books only exist when someone reads them.

Every great advancement was once nothing more than a dream in the mind of a visionary.
