I was looking for excellence in any color or gender it comes in. Some of my top people are African American but not all of them.

Surround yourself with those who won’t compete but will revel in your success and see your ascent as a reflection of their own possibilities.

God gives you the resources for success. But it is up to you to recognize them and use them to their fullest.

When you start talking about same-sex marriage, you start talking about abortion, and I think those issues are very very important and very interesting and very right for us to talk about, but when we allow those issues to cannibalize all other issues we find ourselves homeless while we debate about it.

Even when things are getting worse instead of better - I believe God!

Set the goal to harvest what's in you rather than having a car, house or a relationship.
