Success is peace of mind which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you did your best to become the best you are capable of becoming.

Whatever you do in life, surround yourself with smart people who'll argue with you.

Everyone wants the two characters to be together, but then once they are, it's not that much fun.

When you get into trouble 5,000 miles from home, you've got to have been looking for it.
