remember to recognize the small successes that you will have. Don't let the brightness of that big goal blind you to what happens on the way toward the goal. Meet one wave at a time and enjoy what progress you make. I want you please not to be taken up in the undertow of pessimism.

Luck? I don't know anything about luck. I've never banked on it and I'm afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work - and realizing what is opportunity and what isn't.

I never thought I was funny. I don't THINK funny.

If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do.

Knowing what you can not do is more important than knowing what you can do. In fact, that's good taste.

One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn't pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.

In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.
