I've had some lovely extraordinary experiences on New Year's Eve.

First thing every morning before you arise say out loud, 'I believe,' three times.

None so deaf as those that will not hear. None so blind as those that will not see.

Write it on your heart that every day is the best day in the year.

There is no great genius without some touch of madness.

If I am not for myself, who will be for me? If I am not for others, what am I? And if not now, when?

The key to being a good manager is keeping the people who hate me away from those who are still undecided.

I like to go to parties where I know everyone. How are you going to have fun with people you don't know?

Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.

The quality of a leader is reflected in the standards they set for themselves.

There is no sincerer love than the love of food.

We are not the same persons this year as last; nor are those we love. It is a happy chance if we, changing, continue to love a changed person.

I am not afraid of an army of lions led by a sheep; I am afraid of an army of sheep led by a lion.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

The key to a happy marriage is myself being absent for long periods of time. My wife Leesa and I will celebrate our tenth wedding anniversary next year, but if my comedy gigs petered out and I was around the house more, we'd 100% be getting divorced.

Each new situation requires a new architecture.

If you would take, you must first give, this is the beginning of intelligence.

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.'

Without initiative, leaders are simply workers in leadership positions.

The dialogue between client and architect is about as intimate as any conversation you can have, because when you're talking about building a house, you're talking about dreams.

Architecture is invention.

If you do what you've always done, you'll get what you've always gotten.

No wind serves him who addresses his voyage to no certain port.
