I pray to be a good servant to God, a father, a husband, a son, a friend, a brother, an uncle, a good neighbor, a good leader to those who look up to me, a good follower to those who are serving God and doing the right thing.

Jealousy, that dragon which slays love under the pretence of keeping it alive.

Under this window in stormy weather I marry this man and woman together; Let none but Him who rules the thunder Put this man and woman asunder.

One of the tests of leadership is the ability to recognize a problem before it becomes an emergency.

Jealousy is no more than feeling alone against smiling enemies.

My father used to say that it's never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, 'You never know what you can accomplish until you try.'

Success isn't measured by money or power or social rank. Success is measured by your discipline and inner peace.

Happiness does not come from doing easy work but from the afterglow of satisfaction that comes after the achievement of a difficult task that demanded our best.

As a technology, the book is like a hammer. That is to say, it is perfect: a tool ideally suited to its task. Hammers can be tweaked and varied but will never go obsolete. Even when builders pound nails by the thousand with pneumatic nail guns, every household needs a hammer.

I get up in the morning looking for an adventure.

A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.

Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good, you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

Management is doing things right; leadership is doing the right things.

Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.

Dick Clark will be truly missed. We will carry on his legacy every New Year's Eve.

On Sunday morning, I'm not nervous... I can't wait to tell what God wants me to say.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists, when his work is done, his aim fulfilled, they will say: we did it ourselves.

To every action there is always opposed an equal reaction.
