Success is never final, failure is never fatal. It's courage that counts.

Passion is momentary love is enduring.

Do not let what you cannot do interfere with what you can do.

Just do the best you can. No one can do more than that.

Be more concerned with your character than your reputation, because your character is what you really are, while your reputation is merely what others think you are.

Talent is God given. Be humble. Fame is man-given. Be grateful. Conceit is self-given. Be careful.

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.

It's what you learn after you know it all that counts.

Winning takes talent; to repeat takes character.

The desire to write grows with writing.

For books, I don't read much fiction, but like travel essays and good pop-science.

May you live to see the green grass growing over your grave.

I've always loved dinosaurs.

Nobody ever lends money to a man with a sense of humor.

I've always craved to belong to somewhere, but I never have and never will.

An injured friend is the bitterest of foes.
