Whether we're prepared or not, life has a habit of thrusting situations upon us.

I don't suppose that hard work, discipline, and a perfectionist attitude toward my work did me any harm. They are a big part of my makeup today, as any of my co-workers will tell you.

I'd rather regret the things I've done than regret the things I haven't done.

Ability is of little account without opportunity.

I would rather regret the things that I have done than the things that I have not.
