A corporation's responsibility is to the shareholders, not its retirees and employees. Companies are doing everything they can to get rid of pension plans and they will succeed.

Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

I have to tell you I never in my life anticipated getting this old, this fast. It seems as if I were 25 just a few days ago.

I cannot tell you ... how to be rich. But I can tell you how to feel rich, which is far better, let me tell you firsthand, than being rich. Be grateful... It is the only totally reliable get rich quick scheme.

Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.

The human spirit needs to accomplish, to achieve, to triumph to be happy.
