You have to create circumstances where your first-tier leader knows what you are trying to accomplish, because he is the one who's going to get it done.

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning from failure.

Pissing people off doesn't mean you're doing the right things, but doing the right things will almost inevitably piss people off.

A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.

None of us can change our yesterdays but all of us can change our tomorrows.

If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.

Effective leaders are made, not born. They learn from trial and error, and from experience.

The most important thing I learned is that soldiers watch what their leaders do. You can give them classes and lecture them forever, but it is your personal example they will follow.

Respect for leaders by followers can't be mandated; it must be earned. It has to be given to leaders by their followers.

Get mad, then get over it.

Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off.

I must stay alone and know that I am alone to contemplate and feel nature in full; I have to surrender myself to what encircles me, I have to merge with my clouds and rocks in order to be what I am.

That's what I look at some people for. I like to know about them. I think them over afterward.

An uprising of the reasonable is our only chance.

Every man must be like Stephen Hawking. His body is here on earth, but his mind walks in the universe!

All that remains is for a few dots and commas to be crossed.

Where can I go that would give me the same level of satisfaction as an actor?

Anything that is stifled will eventually ferment or explode.
