To have more than you've got, become more than you are.

Don’t see the mind for more than it is, but don’t misread it for all that it can be.

Don't just let your business or your job make something for you; let it make something of you.

You say, 'The country is messed up.' That's like cursing the soil and the seed and the sunshine and the rain, which is all you've got. Don't curse all you've got. When you get your own planet, you can rearrange this whole deal. This one you've got to take like it comes.

Effective communication is 20% what you know and 80% how you feel about what you know.

Life, in all its uniqueness, would not be life without the negatives and the positives.

It seems that every life form on this planet strives toward its maximum potential... except human beings. A tree does not grow to half its potential size and then say, "l guess that will do." A tree will drive its roots as deep as possible. It will soak up as much nourishment as it can, stretch as high and as wide as nature will allow, and then look down as if to remind us of how much each of us could become if we would only do all that we can.
