A friend is someone who gives you total freedom to be yourself.

I've been giving back since I was a teen, handing out turkeys at Thanksgiving and handing out toys at toys drives for Christmas. It's very important to give back as a youth. It's as simple as helping an old lady across the street or giving up your seat on the bus for someone who is pregnant.

The concept of two people living together for 25 years without a serious dispute suggests a lack of spirit only to be admired in sheep.

Don't stay in bed, unless you can make money in bed.

A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.

When a man's stomach is full it makes no difference whether he is rich or poor.

Lose an hour in the morning, and you will spend all day looking for it.

Fortune favors the prepared mind.

When in doubt, mumble; when in trouble, delegate; when in charge, ponder.

Programs must be written for people to read, and only incidentally for machines to execute.

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

Be careful the environment you choose for it will shape you; be careful the friends you choose for you will become like them.

We had a relationship that lasted 44 years. Herbert and I lived together 10 years before we were married. He always gave me a little heart for whatever anniversary.

Over and over I marvel at the blessings of my life: Each year has grown better than the last.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

It is my belief that no matter how advanced man may become in science, technology, systems, and knowledge, he can never improve on the foundational precepts of marriage as the bedrock of social development.

The only big things I've purchased are my dad's heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.

Cut your morning devotions into your personal grooming. You would not go out to work with a dirty face. Why start the day with the face of your soul unwashed?

The day before the anniversary of D-Day, we lost a man who was equaled by few and surpassed by none as a leader in the cause of freedom: Ronald Reagan.

Common sense is not so common.

Man needs his difficulties because they are necessary to enjoy success.

The secret of business is to know something that nobody else knows.

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn't know how to get along without it.

To find joy in work is to discover the fountain of youth.
