“I could have fixed almost everything else, but death defeated me every time.”

“So I'll do that, and I'll do my best and if my best isn't good enough, at least I will have done everything I could, everything that is in me. I don't have to try to be someone else, someone I could never be.”

“Is there anything else you need to tell me?”
Every time I look at you, I have to put a leash on myself. “No.”

“I would not and could not give myself up to despair. That way lays defeat and death.”

“The ability to concentrate and to use your time well is everything if you want to succeed in business – or almost anywhere else.”

“I think it is astounding that people could argue for "you just must trust someone else to fix it" instead of "you could fix it yourself, or hire someone to fix it." There is a contractor base out there that can solve these problems as well as or better than the major vendors could. But I think the major vendors are still having more luck at getting the ear of the press.”

“In retrospect, our triumphs could as easily have happened to someone else; but our defeats are uniquely our own.”

“Man's bodily functions moved only toward death, but the mind could continue to enrich itself even as everything else embraced entropy.”

“Creativity can solve almost any problem. The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything.”

“Every time you almost die, I almost die myself.”
