The challenge of education is not to prepare a person for success, but to prepare him for failure.

Half the issues they - are so polished they're talking about - are dead by the time they get into the office, and into the midst of their tour where they're really productive.

The worst thing that can happen is death, and that's not the worst thing in the world either.

I mean, I didn't - I should have demanded attention of the boss maybe, or something like that that might have backfired. This I would just take as it came.

I think character is permanent, and issues are transient.

I never had a single conversation about politics with Ross Perot in my life; still haven't.

Do the right thing even if it means dying like a dog when no one's there to see you do it.
