We don't beat the reaper by living longer, but by living well, and living fully - for the reaper will come for all of us. The question is: what do we do between the time we're born and the time he shows up.

Go out and do for others what somebody did for you.

I’d compare college tuition to paying for a personal trainer at an athletic club. We professors play the roles of trainers, giving people access to the equipment (books, labs, our expertise) and after that, it is our job to be demanding.

I've always admired people who are over-prepared.

We have a finite amount of time. Whether short or long, it doesn't matter. Life is to be lived.

When you do the right thing, good stuff has a way of happening.

When we're connected to others, we become better people.
