“I have always believed that anybody with a little guts and the desire to apply himself can make it, can make anything he wants to make of himself.”

If Jack Nicklaus can win the Masters at 46, I can win the Kentucky Derby at 54.

There are one hundred and ninety nine ways to get beat, but only one way to win; get there first.

In fact, corporations are the infants of our society – they know very little except how to grow (though they’re very good at that), and they howl when you set limits. Socializing them is the work of politics. It’s about time we took it up again.

I feel a little guilty only being an actor.

I have a sort of waking nightmare: to get this thing just about completed, and the last day to discover one little part that doesn’t quite fit with the adjacent part.

Anyone who says that money cannot buy happiness has had very little success with either one.

A small country like Georgia has little influence on conflicts that must be resolved at the global level.

Without a movement pressing for change, there’s little hope. We’ve got to work the political system to make this happen fast. The physics and chemistry are daunting. The resources on the other side are very large.

A man’s wealth can…also be measured by what he doesn’t have and doesn’t want. When he wants little, he is a rich man.
