Don't sell yourself short because without that you can't go far in life because after sports the only thing you know is sports and you can't do anything else with that.
A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That's how the patent office defines it. That's an invention.
You are always new, the last of your kisses was ever the sweetest.
Have no fear of perfection — you'll never reach it.
Success is not measured by what you accomplish, but by the opposition you have encountered, and the courage with which you have maintained the struggle against overwhelming odds.
It's very important in life to know when to shut up. You should not be afraid of silence.
Don't tell me what you believe in. I'll observe how you behave and I will make my own determination.

Think of yourself as on the threshold of unparalleled success. A whole, clear, glorious life lies before you. Achieve! Achieve!
When a woman isn't beautiful, people always say, 'You have lovely eyes, you have lovely hair'.
You sparkle with larceny.
You've got to tell your money what to do or it will leave.
You must stand for something! It does not have to be grand, but it must be a positive that brings light to someone else's darkness.
