I know that I am intelligent, because I know that I know nothing.

I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.

Each new situation requires a new architecture.

I haven't eaten at a McDonald's since I became President.

If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you'll never get it done.

There is no greater harm than that of time wasted.

If you think about a Thanksgiving dinner, it's really like making a large chicken.

I miss both of my parents terribly every day, but especially as we approach Thanksgiving. We always came together as a family for that holiday, playing capture the flag and touch football and laughing a lot.

Challenging the meaning of life is the truest expression of the state of being human.

You don't have to deserve your mother's love. You have to deserve your father's.

When a father gives to his son, both laugh; when a son gives to his father, both cry.

Work is not man's punishment. It is his reward and his strength and his pleasure.

A corpse is meat gone bad. Well and what's cheese? Corpse of milk.

One of the greatest gifts my father gave me - unintentionally - was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.

One should eat to live, not live to eat.

You can tell alot about a fellow's character by his way of eating jellybeans.
