A woman should never be seen eating or drinking, unless it be lobster salad and Champagne, the only true feminine and becoming viands.

I'm not really easy to live with! There needs to be unlimited patience and unconditional love. Men I've known before loved my independent spirit and were proud of my success, to the point that they'd become jealous of the time I devote to my career.

An early-morning walk is a blessing for the whole day.

There is no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love; there's only scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

It's not what you pay a man, but what he costs you that counts.

Eighty percent of success is showing up.

My dad was my best friend and greatest role model. He was an amazing dad, coach, mentor, soldier, husband and friend.

To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.

Action is the foundational key to all success.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

Friendship brings in a lot of honesty and trust into any relationship, especially a marriage.

I have never been jealous. Not even when my dad finished fifth grade a year before I did.

I have a Father's Day every day.

Far and away the best prize that life has to offer is the chance to work hard at work worth doing.

I have no way of knowing how people really feel, but the vast majority of those I meet couldn't be nicer. Every once in a while someone barks at me. My New Year's resolution is not to bark back.

Food is our common ground, a universal experience.

We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.

This is the final test of a gentleman: his respect for those who can be of no possible value to him.

He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.

The work of the individual still remains the spark that moves mankind ahead even more than teamwork.

I'm always going to love my father.

Next month, I will celebrate my 30th anniversary of marriage with my beautiful bride, Vicki. Our marriage has been a blessing. I have gained even more respect for the institution over the past 3 decades and will defend it against attack.

It is not the beauty of a building you should look at; its the construction of the foundation that will stand the test of time.
