The shortest way to get anywhere is to have good company.

Be modest. A lot was accomplished before you were born.

Use your past successes as a trampoline, not an easy chair.

A friend is someone who knows you and loves you for what you were and who you are, and who also shares your hopes and dreams for who you can become.

Instruction for life: Take into account that great love and great achievements involve great risk. When you lose, don't lose the lesson. Follow the three R's: - Respect for self. - Respect for others. - Responsibility for all your actions. Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck. Learn the rules so you know how to break them properly.

Life doesn't come with an instruction book; that's why we have fathers.

If you're doing your best, you won't have any time to worry about failure.
