The highest prize in a world of men is the most beautiful woman available on your arm and living there in her heart loyal to you.

Men of genius are admired, men of wealth are envied, men of power are feared; but only men of character are trusted.

Most programming languages contain good parts and bad parts. I discovered that I could be better programmer by using only the good parts and avoiding the bad parts.

Caring about others, running the risk of feeling, and leaving an impact on people brings happiness.

We're all on a journey. The average American switches professions four times. I'm lucky to be in a business where I can change the character I am playing every couple of months.
