“When everything is working out for you, it means you are in the wrong gym.”

“Doors open up for you when you work hard. Doors also open up for you when you walk with a limp and act gimpy.”

“The question is not how much work are you willing to put in, but what are you willing to take out? Success is sacrifice.”

“In the throes of passion, I threw out an I love you. Did I mean it? Does a dictionary mean what it says?”

“When I say something, I mean what I say, despite what a dictionary says I mean. Meanings of words are slaves that I put to work constructing my pyramids of thought.”

“I need camouflage that works in such a way that when I wear it, you disappear.”

“I heard everything you said, listened to half, and agreed with a quarter. And 12.5% isn’t bad—if you’re collecting that in interest on money you lent out.”
