We herd sheep, we drive cattle, we lead people. Lead me, follow me, or get out of my way.

A man must know his destiny… if he does not recognize it, then he is lost. By this I mean, once, twice, or at the very most, three times, fate will reach out and tap a man on the shoulder… if he has the imagination, he will turn around and fate will point out to him what fork in the road he should take, if he has the guts, he will take it.

I always believe in being prepared, even when I'm dressed in white tie and tails.

There is no such thing as luck, merely opportunity meeting preparedness. George S. Patton Jr.
