“We're paying the highest tribute you can pay a man. We trust him to do right. It's that simple.”

"We are what we repeatedly do; excellence, then, is not an act but a habit."

"Hard work beats talent when talent doesn't work hard."

"Great minds talk about ideas. Average minds talk about events. Small minds talk about people."
