So after a while, if people won't accept your excuses, you stop looking for them.

And I've always said, 'If two people think the same thing about everything, one of them isn't necessary.' We need to be able to understand that if we're going to make real progress.

It's very important for people to know themselves and understand what their value system is, because if you don't know what your value system is, then you don't know what risks are worth taking and which ones are worth avoiding.

A lot of people simply don't realize their potential because they're just so risk adverse. They just don't want to take the risk.

People all over the nation are starved for honesty and common sense.

Our schools too often want to shut people up so they can't talk about real solutions. People who think differently tend to clam up because they think something is wrong with their ideas.
