What could be more important than equipping the next generation with the character and competence they need to become successful

Experts often possess more data than judgment.

Whenever you start-give it your best. The opportunities are there to be anything you want to be. But wanting to be someone isn't enough; dreaming about it isn't enough; thinking about it isn't enough. You've got to study for it, work for it, fight for it with all your heart and soul, because nobody is going to hand it to you.

I want to scare the hell out of the rest of the world.

It's really not a number I'm terribly interested in.

I served 40 years in government, and I'm not looking forward to a position or an assignment. Of course, I have always said if a president asks you to do something, you have to consider it. But I am in no way interested in returning to government. But I, of course, would sit and talk to any president who wishes to talk to me.

Always focus on the front windshield and not the review mirror.
