What then are doing if not creating a better place together? I think, for me the key has to be, what do I want to create? What is it I want to leave behind?

As I am becoming older, the only thing that speeds up is time.

No man or woman of the humblest sort can really be strong, gentle and good, without the world being better for it, without somebody being helped and comforted by the very existence of that goodness.

After a while I started to think of that as an image of something that went a lot deeper than the dead dog, which is you can't bring back anything to life.

I was always interested in figuring things out. I'd do experiments, like combining things I found around the house to see what would happen if I put them together.

There are two things that I get a lot of pleasure from in my life, and that is, doing what I know how to do well - that really makes me happy. The other one, and probably an equal pleasure, is finding out how I can be helpful and then really being helpful.

Laugh at yourself, but don't ever aim your doubt at yourself.
