Leadership is solving problems. The day soldiers stop bringing you their problems is the day you have stopped leading them. They have either lost confidence that you can help or concluded you do not care. Either case is a failure of leadership.

Fatherhood is the best thing that could happen to me, and I'm just glad I can share my voice.

Being a father has been, without a doubt, my greatest source of achievement, pride and inspiration. Fatherhood has taught me about unconditional love, reinforced the importance of giving back and taught me how to be a better person.

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.

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

To give oneself earnestly to the duties due to men, and, while respecting spiritual beings, to keep aloof from them, may be called wisdom.

Jealousy... is a mental cancer.

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

They can do without architecture who have no olives nor wines in the cellar.

I've been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It's very important to give back as a youth. It's as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant.

Never mistake motion for action.

When people come to my act any time after Thanksgiving, I usually say, You shouldn't be here. You should be shopping. Our economy depends on you! You should be out there buying stuff.'

Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.

People who enjoy meetings should not be in charge of anything.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Nothing requires the architect's care more than the due proportions of buildings.

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

Love shouldn't be about jealousy or anything like that. It should be about commitment and being able to trust that person. If you can't have that from the get-go, there's a problem.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

No man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.

You may have heard of Black Friday and Cyber Monday. There's another day you might want to know about: Giving Tuesday. The idea is pretty straightforward. On the Tuesday after Thanksgiving, shoppers take a break from their gift-buying and donate what they can to charity.

There is no greater glory than love, nor any greater punishment than jealousy.

In the kingdom of the blind, the one-eyed man is king.

A man who wants to lead the orchestra must turn his back on the crowd.
