Left untended, knowledge and skill, like all assets, depreciate in value surprisingly quickly.

Believe passionately in what you do, and never knowingly compromise your standards and values. Act like a true professional, aiming for true excellence, and the money will follow.

Professional is not a label you give yourself - it's a description you hope others will apply to you.

What you do with your billable time determines your current income, but what you do with your non-billable time determines your future.

Focus on being the best you can at what you want to do.

I will accept your influence, guidance and direction if (and only if) I believe that you and I share similar goals.

Your task as a leader is to help others to succeed, not to strive only for your own success. If I don't trust your motives, nothing else will matter -because my primary concern is your integrity.

If your clients aren't actively telling their friends about you, maybe your work isn't as great as you think it is.

Success comes from doing what you enjoy. If you don't enjoy it, how can it be called success?

More than any other factor, it is the people we have to deal with that determine the quality of our work lives.

I will not accept your guidance and critique unless you are supportive and nurturing. On the other hand, you need to be continually demanding.

When a thing is funny, search it carefully for a hidden truth.

People who honestly mean to be true really contradict themselves much more rarely than those who try to be "consistent."

The one infallible sign that a spiritual teacher is a fraud is that he charges money for his instruction.

We soon cease to feel the grief at the deaths of our friends, yet we continue to the end of our lives to miss them. They are still with us in their absence.

I wanted to show the thing that had to be corrected: I wanted to show the things that had to be appreciated.

I'm probably not very funny. The scripts just don't come in, or the ones that do aren't that good. I suppose I'm just an old drama queen, really.

Most vices may be committed very genteelly: a man may debauch his friend's wife genteelly: he may cheat at cards genteelly

Alcoholism isn't a disease. It's a failure of self-image.

Discord is the great ill of mankind; and tolerance is the only remedy for it.
