Eighty percent of success is showing up.

We are called to be architects of the future, not its victims.

The cautious seldom err.

Romantic love is an illusion. Most of us discover this truth at the end of a love affair or else when the sweet emotions of love lead us into marriage and then turn down their flames.

The argument that gay marriage doesn't affect straight marriages is a ridiculous red herring: Gay marriage affects society and law in dramatic ways. Religious groups will come under direct assault as federal and state governments move to strip them of their non-profit statuses if they refuse to perform gay marriages.

A man's work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.

The art of leadership is saying no, not saying yes. It is very easy to say yes.

I'm a strong person, I'm a strong family man, I'm a strong husband and a strong father.

If you have God on your side, everything becomes clear.

One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.

I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God's help I shall succeed.

Invincibility lies in the defence; the possibility of victory in the attack.

The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on.

My cooking is so bad my kids thought Thanksgiving was to commemorate Pearl Harbor.

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.

Belief in a cruel God makes a cruel man.

If you don't want to work you have to work to earn enough money so that you won't have to work.

Meaning is not what you start with but what you end up with.

After 45 years of marriage, when I have an argument with my wife, if we don't agree, we do what she wants. But, when we agree, we do what I want!

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

Luck is a dividend of sweat. The more you sweat, the luckier you get.

There is little success where there is little laughter.

A champion is afraid of losing. Everyone else is afraid of winning.

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