All this green stuff is great, it's great we don't have plastic bottles or plastic bags and all of that, but how about some great schools?

If there wasn't any competition, I'd be very worried, because it would mean we were not doing very well.

Philanthropy isn't just about big gifts; it's about participation. It is about the grace that comes from working together.

Business requires an unbelievable level of resilience inside you, the chokehold on the growth of your business is always the leader, it's always your psychology and your skills - 80% psychology, 20% skills. If you don't have the marketing skills, if you don't have the financial-intelligence skills, if you don't have the recruiting skills, it's really hard for you to lead somebody else if you don't have fundamentally those skills. And so my life is about teaching those skills and helping people change the psychology so that they live out of what's possible, instead of out of their fear.

I always tell people: Life is the dance between what you desire most and what you fear most. You've got to be able to deal with the threshold of control.
