The only unforgivable sin: Being unforgiving.

People who matter are most aware that everyone else does too.

I don't think anybody can be a success who doesn't like what they do. [But it's] no job if it has no challenge; there's nothing to it if there are no problems. The essential thing is liking what you're doing.

When one seeks assurance, there's none from those who respond, Now, don't you worry about a thing. If you weren't worried, you wouldn't have asked. If you are concerned, it's nice to know that those you query are, too. I'll take a worrier any day over a platitudinous reassurer.

It is all one to me if a man comes from Sing Sing Prison or Harvard. We hire a man, not his history.

When it's your own fault, things hurt worse than when someone else is to blame.

As you get older, don't slow down. Speed up. There's less time left!
