I was an overnight success all right, but 30 years is a long, long night.

I believe in God, family, and McDonald's. And in the office, that order is reversed.

If you believe in it, and you believe in it hard, it is impossible to fail.

It requires a certain kind of mind to see beauty in a hamburger bun. Yet is it any more unusual to find grace in the texture and softly carved silhouette of a bun than to reflect lovingly on the hackles of a fishing fly? Or the arrangements and textures on a butterfly's wing? Not if you are a McDonalds's man.

You'll learn more about a road by traveling it than by consulting all the maps in the world.

The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.

I never considered my dreams wasted energy; they were invariably linked to some form of action. When I dreamed about having a lemonade stand, for example, it wasn't long before I set up a lemonade stand.
