Opportunity is missed by most people because it is dressed in overalls and looks like work.

To me, the idea and expectation that the day is slowly and surely coming when we will be able to honestly say we are our brother's keeper and not his oppressor is very beautiful .

Unfortunately, there seems to be far more opportunity out there than ability.... We should remember that good fortune often happens when opportunity meets with preparation.

I get my ideas from listening from within.

I find my greatest pleasure, and so my reward, in the work that precedes what the world calls success.

The thing I lose patience with the most is the clock. Its hands move too fast

I would construct and work along various lines until I found them untenable. When one theory was discarded, I developed another at once. I realized very early that this was the only possible way for me to work out all the problems.
