No matter how bad things are, you can always make things worse. At the same time, it is often within your power to make them better

If you’re going to have childhood dreams you should have great parents who let you pursue them and express your creativity

I am going to keep having fun every day I have left, because there is no other way of life. You just have to decide whether you are a Tigger or an Eeyore.

The person who failed often knows how to avoid future failures. The person who knows only success can be more oblivious to all the pitfalls.

I was hugely impressed... was the ultimate example of a man who knew what he didn't know, was perfectly willing to admit it, and didn't want to leave until he understood. That's heroic to me. I wish every grad student had that attitude.

It's a thrill to fulfill your own childhood dreams, but as you get older, you may find that enabling the dreams of others is even more fun.

I feel like I'm waiting on something that isn't going to happen Don't complain; just work harder.
