Successful or not, acts of physical courage always bring honor. It is the smaller forms of valor - standing up for principle at the risk of social disapproval, economic loss or injury to career - that require the greatest moral will power.

The surest way to escape anxiety and defeat despair is action. Do, don't dwell.

There is no objective criteria for either success or failure. People who achieve their goals are successful, those who don't are not.

You can't escape moral judgment through a legal loop hole.

No word makes me happier than the word "daddy" when it's directed to me.

You are the captain of your own ship; don't let anyone else take the wheel.
