I've been in a hurry all my life. I've been in a hurry to succeed, and in a hurry to prove myself.

If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it. You can have all the money in the world, but if you are not a moral and ethical person, you really have nothing.

A real entrepreneur is somebody who has no safety net underneath them.

As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.

If you build that foundation, both the moral and the ethical foundation, as well as the business foundation, and the experience foundation, then the building won't crumble.

If you have something at risk, you think differently.

Whales who come up and spout off get harpooned.

If you don't have integrity, you have nothing. You can't buy it.

It's one of the most important things at the end of the day, being able to say no to an investment.

I love the ability to work with very good managers, and to provide the right incentives for them, and truly become a partner with that management, and make that management take a long view.

Fear is nothing but a thought. So try not to become its victim. You were born to be the captain of your own thoughts.

When you’re as small as I am, people don’t expect you to be much of an athlete. You either wilt under the weight of low expectations, or you rise above them.

Every moment counts.

The Kingdom of Heaven is a military autocracy and there is no public opinion in it.

I don't think that success is the premise to what is good or bad.

The great quest of life has always been to discover truth.

I'm not a terrible smoker, actually. My major addiction, which is horrible, is straight boys.

People know about the Klan and the overt racism, but the killing of one's soul little by little, day after day, is a lot worse than someone coming in your house and lynching you.

We are blessed with a place that is open to the universe and, despite this, supports this very thin envelope of air we call atmosphere, which holds just the right amount of oxygen for us to breathe.

I was slipping, man, and it was definetly time to get a grip.
