“Either write something worth reading or do something worth writing.”

“Excellence is to do a common thing in an uncommon way.”

“Yesterday's home runs don't win today's games.”

“If you want to go quickly, go alone. If you want to go far, go together.”

“When angry, count ten before you speak; if very angry, an hundred.”

“Since new developments are the products of a creative mind, we must therefore stimulate and encourage that type of mind in every way possible.”

“It's hard to beat a person who never gives up.”
