Words can never adequately convey the incredible impact of our attitudes toward life. The longer I live the more convinced I become that life is 10 percent what happens to us and 90 percent how we respond to it.

Life is thickly sown with thorns and I know no other remedy than to pass quickly through them. The longer we dwell on our misfortunes the greater is their power to harm us.

I'm learning something all the time. That's the way I want it to go and that's the way I'll go until I am no longer on this planet.

Imitation is being rewarded. They're learning that if you fit right in the mold you get rewarded. Music is no longer a form of expression - it's a means to a lifestyle.

Leadership has become a heavy industry. Concern and interest about leadership development is no longer an American phenomenon. It is truly global. Though I will probably be in less demand I wanted to move on.

The larger the island of knowledge the longer the shoreline of wonder.

It is becoming clear that the old platitudes can no longer be maintained and that if we wish to improve our morals we must first improve our knowledge.
