We are given talent but we choose to have character.

Success is often followed by failure. Yesterday's victory doesn't win today's battle.

The enemy doesn't warn its target. Emergencies do not make appointments, and the greatest battles of life are often surprises.

The best defense is great offense. . .We fight through our mistakes and failures by maximizing our forward motion.

Only adversity provides the opportunity for greatness.

One uncontrolled character flaw can ruin your greatest accomplishment.

Character is contagious.

A tough hide with a tender heart is a goal that all leaders must have.

We largely become what we have observed and respected.

You are never wrong doing the right thing.

Being willing to listen to others and let them speak into our lives is a critical attitude leaders must have. It is not weakness to get good advice - it is strength to seek it out.

Good suits don't come from anywhere, though - I mainly wear Armani, Louis Vuitton and Burberry.

I feel so terrible for the kids now. In London, even people in their forties can't afford to buy a house or have kids.

But what if I fail of my purpose here? It is but to keep the nerves at strain, to dry one's eyes and laugh at a fall, and baffled, get up and begin again.

The love boat has crashed against the everyday.
