Originality thrives in seclusion free of outside influences beating upon us to cripple the creative mind.

Admire as much as you can, most people don't admire enough.

Failure is a greater teacher than success. Listen, learn, go on.

The ability to learn is the most important quality a leader can have.

All experience is great providing you live through it.

Often when you think you’re at the end of something, you’re at the beginning of something else.

Falsehood is so easy, truth so difficult.

Ultimately a genuine leader is not a searcher for consensus but a molder of consensus.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

You mustn't confuse a single failure with a final defeat.

Fear has a very concrete power of keeping us from doing and saying the things that are our purpose.

In all our searching, the only thing we’ve found that makes the emptiness bearable is each other.
