Think ahead. Don't let day-to-day operations drive out planning.

Now, settle down, settle down. Hell, I'm an old man, it's early in the morning and I'm gathering my thoughts here.

It isn't making mistakes that's critical; it's correcting them and getting on with the principal task.

If you are not criticized, you may not be doing much.

The way to do well is to do well.

If you try to please everybody, somebody's not going to like it.
