Never forget that the devil is there 24/7 too. He's very, very busy.

In order to succeed, your desire for success should be greater than your fear of failure.

I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody.

Every closed eye is not sleeping, and every open eye is not seeing.

People can be more forgiving than you can imagine. But you have to forgive yourself. Let go of what's bitter and move on.

Nothing I've ever done has given me more joys and rewards than being a father to my children.

Fatherhood is pretending the present you love most is soap-on-a-rope.

The success of most things depends upon knowing how long it will take to succeed.

Without the ice, the earth will fall

One paints from nature not in order to copy, but to express feelings of grandeur.

I'm not someone who thinks about the past. I'm so busy thinking about what I'm going to do today.

Once it's everybody's responsibility and not just the household's we start making better investments.
