I just have an enthusiasm for life.

People eyeing you as a potential leader tend to ask three questions: Are you committed? Do you care about me? Can I trust you?

If you make a fist and hold it for two hours, you won't be able to pick up a glass because you'll be so weak. Let's stay loose. Let's have fun.

Everybody needs four things in life: Something to do, someone to love, someone to believe in and something to hope for.

At age nine, I got a paper route. Sixty-six papers had to be delivered to sixty-six families every day. I also had to collect thirty cents a week from each customer. I owed the paper twenty cents per customer per week, and got to keep the rest. When I didn't collect, the balance came out of my profit. My average income was six dollars a week.

In life, be a participant, not a spectator.

It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.
