I always go back to Harry Truman: Should we drop an atomic bomb to save 100,000 lives? That's a hell of a decision to make. Did he make that decision by himself? No, he had advisers.

As you go through life, there are thousands of little forks in the road, and there are a few really big forks-those moments of reckoning, moments of truth.

That's the American way. If little kids don't aspire to make money like I did, what the hell good is this country?

Every little kid wants to grow up to be a cowboy, and I did.

The thing that lies at the foundation of positive change, the way I see it, is service to a fellow human being.

The cement in our whole democracy today is the worker who makes $ 15 an hour. He's the guy who will buy a house and a car and a refrigerator. He's the oil in the engine.

Be creative. Use unconventional thinking. And have the guts to carry it out.
