Jealousy is the tribute mediocrity pays to genius.

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.

Let our New Year's resolution be this: we will be there for one another as fellow members of humanity, in the finest sense of the word.

You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job.

The ancient Romans built their greatest masterpieces of architecture, their amphitheaters, for wild beasts to fight in.

I mean, I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.

To be prepared is half the victory.

A waffle is like a pancake with a syrup trap.

Make New Year's goals. Dig within, and discover what you would like to have happen in your life this year. This helps you do your part. It is an affirmation that you're interested in fully living life in the year to come.

He who seeks rest finds boredom. He who seeks work finds rest.

New Year's Day. A fresh start. A new chapter in life waiting to be written. New questions to be asked, embraced, and loved. Answers to be discovered and then lived in this transformative year of delight and self-discovery. Today carve out a quiet interlude for yourself in which to dream, pen in hand. Only dreams give birth to change.

I'm always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning... Every day I find something creative to do with my life.

I'm a good dad; I spend a lot of time with my kids.

Each morning when I awake, I experience again a supreme pleasure - that of being Salvador Dali.

May this marriage be full of laughter, our every day in paradise.

Jealousy is the fear of comparison.

To me, a building - if it's beautiful - is the love of one man, he's made it out of his love for space, materials, things like that.

If fear is cultivated it will become stronger, if faith is cultivated it will achieve mastery.

That's one of the great things about Thanksgiving: Football's on!

To have the kind of year you want to have, something has to happen that you can't explain why it happened. Something has to happen that you can't coach.

Whatever good things we build end up building us.

That's the way I got along in life. I don't ever remember being particularly jealous of anybody, because I figured if I can't do it myself, I don't deserve to get it.
