Too many people go through life complaining about their problems. I've always believed that if you took one tenth the enrgy you put into complaining and applied it to solving the problem, you'd be surprised by how well things can work out.

We don't beat the Reaper by living longer. We beat the Reaper by living well.

The great thing about working out at a gym is that if you put in effort, you get very obvious results. The same should be true of college. A professor’s job is to teach students how to see their minds growing in the same way they can see their muscles grow when they look in a mirror.

I'm a professor - there should be some lessons learned - and how you can use the stuff you hear today to enable your dreams or enable the dreams of others. And as you get older you may find that enabling-the-dreams-of-others thing is even more fun.

Time is all you have and you may find one day that you have less than you think.

Everyone has to contribute to the common good. To not do so can be described in one word: selfish.

People lie for lots of reasons, often because it seems like a way to get what they want with less effort.
