The main ingredient of stardom is the rest of the team.

All of life is peaks and valleys. Don’t let the peaks get too high and the valleys too low.

Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.

Study the past if you would define the future.

Today we are shapers of the world of tomorrow.

Don’t shortchange yourself when it comes to investing in your own better future.

Why do we remember the past, but not the future?

In the year 2025, the best men don’t run for president, they run for their lives.
