My father gave me the greatest gift anyone could give another person, he believed in me.

Woman, or more precisely put, perhaps, marriage, is the representative of life with which you are meant to come to terms.

First-rate people hire first-rate people; second-rate people hire third-rate people.

Never mistake motion for action.

Christians were instructed to serve others, and the thanksgiving was for the grace of God and the fact that God offered a way for man to return to a positive relationship with Him.

Art is a marriage of the conscious and the unconscious.

As a technology, the book is like a hammer. That is to say, it is perfect: a tool ideally suited to its task. Hammers can be tweaked and varied but will never go obsolete. Even when builders pound nails by the thousand with pneumatic nail guns, every household needs a hammer.

A wedding anniversary is the celebration of love, trust, partnership, tolerance and tenacity. The order varies for any given year.

A successful man is one who can lay a firm foundation with the bricks others have thrown at him.

So I think you have to marry for the right reasons, and marry the right person.

I mean, I look at my dad. He was twenty when he started having a family, and he was always the coolest dad. He did everything for his kids, and he never made us feel like he was pressured. I know that it must be a great feeling to be a guy like that.

It is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises-but only performance is reality.

I think it's important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state - meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.

Vegetables are a must on a diet. I suggest carrot cake, zucchini bread, and pumpkin pie.

Building art is a synthesis of life in materialised form. We should try to bring in under the same hat not a splintered way of thinking, but all in harmony together.

Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.

Effort only fully releases its reward after a person refuses to quit.

Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.

Don't aim for success if you want it; just do what you love and believe in, and it will come naturally.

In my deepest, darkest moments, what really got me through was a prayer. Sometimes my prayer was 'Help me.' Sometimes a prayer was 'Thank you.' What I've discovered is that intimate connection and communication with my creator will always get me through because I know my support, my help, is just a prayer away.

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

I have come to the conclusion that the most important element in human life is faith.

A leader is a dealer in hope.
