My most memorable meal is every Thanksgiving. I love the food: the turkey and stuffing; the sweet potatoes and rice, which come from my mother's Southern heritage; the mashed potatoes, which come from my wife's Midwestern roots; the Campbell's green-bean casserole; and of course, pumpkin pie.

I can definitely say the older I've got the better I've become at being a dad and a husband.

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.

Morning comes whether you set the alarm or not.

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.

When a true genius appears, you can know him by this sign: that all the dunces are in a confederacy against him.

If you're trying to create a company, it's like baking a cake. You have to have all the ingredients in the right proportion.

There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.

Jealousy contains more of self-love than of love.

There are things known and there are things unknown, and in between are the doors of perception.

Whenever you find yourself on the side of the majority, it is time to pause and reflect.

I get up every morning and it's going to be a great day. You never know when it's going to be over so I refuse to have a bad day.

Jealousy is the fear or apprehension of superiority: envy our uneasiness under it.

There is little success where there is little laughter.

Going to a party, for me, is as much a learning experience as, you know, sitting in a lecture.

Good things happen to those who hustle.

Over and over I marvel at the blessings of my life: Each year has grown better than the last.

The universe is full of magical things, patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

I love chicken. I would eat chicken fingers on Thanksgiving if it were socially acceptable.

The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.

There is never jealousy where there is not strong regard.

Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don't complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don't bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!
