The thorny point Of bare distress hath ta'en from me the show Of smooth civility; yet am I inland bred And know some nurture.

Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.

The course of true love never did run smooth.

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

It is not in the stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

No legacy is so rich as honesty.

God has given you one face, and you make yourself another.

It is not in our stars to hold our destiny but in ourselves.

The Eyes are the window to your soul

What a terrible era in which idiots govern the blind.

Hell is empty and all the devils are here.

At one level you're condemned to the voice you have. But within those confines, you have a certain amount of freedom to range among your possible voices.

A solid process lays the foundation for a healthy culture, one where ideas are evaluated by merit and not by job title.

I look for myself but find no one. I belong to the chrysanthemum hour of bright flowers placed in tall vases. I should make an ornament of my soul.

To rule is not so much a question of the heavy hand as the firm seat.

I would have been a disastrous soldier.

I try and open a few doors to the mind, encourage people to embrace change and to stretch their capabilities.

I never bring a role home with me. The moment they say, 'It's a wrap,' it's gone completely. I'm a totally ruthless professional, and life is my family, not my work.

A congregation that is not deeply and earnestly involved in the worldwide proclamation of the gospel does not understand the nature of salvation.

Organize as much as possible around teams, to achieve enhanced focus, task orientation, innovativeness, and individual commitment.

I have a reputation for being hermitlike. I'm not. I'm just obsessed with my work.
