Trouble is only opportunity in work clothes.

Having an aim is the key to achieving your best.

When your work speaks for itself, don't interrupt.

I make progress by having people around me who are smarter than I am and listening to them. And I assume that everyone is smarter about something than I am.

You can't sit on the lid of progress. If you do, you will be blown to pieces.

I always have to dream up there against the stars. If I don't dream I will make it, I won't even get close.
