You were one person, and you changed the world.

Now you know how badly someone wanted you, Charley. Children forget that sometimes. They think of themselves as a burden instead of a wish granted.

Accept the past as past, without denying it or discarding it.

The backside of a mountain is a fight against human nature. You have to care as much about yourself on the way down as you did on the way up.

When you come to the end, that's where God begins.

All these people that you meet or I meet, there's not a prayer in hell that they're ever going to run for office or major office because if they're that smart, they're also smart enough to know they don't want to take everything that they've built up and have it torn apart by a sensationalized media that's so hungry for any kind of salacious detail that they'll make that the emphasis of the person's life. And then all of sudden, 50, 60 years of hard work and accomplishment go out the window.

People are only mean when they are threatened.
