Don't rule out working with your hands. It does not preclude using your head.

When it comes to educating all of us about the most basic things in life, it seems to me we need more kindergartens and fewer graduate schools.

One day about 10 years ago the door to my office opened and who walked in but Bill Gates.... Seemed like a nice guy and has done more with his money than most billionaires. But that's as far as I want to go being kind to Bill Gates.

Most of the people in the world are good and decent if you give them a chance to be.

It's not so much that I write well, I just don't write badly very often and that passes for good on television.

I had one typewriter for 50 years, but I have bought seven computers in six years. I suppose that's why Bill Gates is rich, and Underwood is out of business.

The third rule of life is this: Everything you buy today is smaller, more expensive, and not as good as it was yesterday.
