I miss Saturday morning rolling out of bed not shaving getting into my car with my girls driving to the supermarket squeezing the fruit getting my car washed taking walks.

It's wonderful to have the most important thing in the world there first thing in the morning. And especially in this business where the opportunity to think everything is about you is there every day now I really know that it isn't all about me.

There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO.

Mom was 50 when my Dad died. She got on a bus every weekday for years and rode 40 miles each morning to Madison. She earned a new degree and learned new skills to start her small business. It wasn't just a new livelihood. It was a new life.

The man with the best job in the country is the vice-president. All he has to do is get up every morning and say 'How is the president?'

I feel sorry for people who don't drink. They wake up in the morning and that's the best they're going to feel all day.

My formula for living is quite simple. I get up in the morning and I go to bed at night. In between I occupy myself as best I can.

Beauty sweet love is like the morning dew Whose short refresh upon tender green Cheers for a time but till the sun doth show And straight is gone as it had never been.

And at five o'clock in the morning we left to drive to Old Tucson and I sat with my mouth open in the van. I was stunned by the beauty of that country.
