“There is no substitute for hard work and taking responsibility for own own lives. And there is no substitute for love, patience, kindness and acceptance.”

“It's easy to run to others. It's so hard to stand on one's own record. You can fake virtue for an audience. You can't fake it in your own eyes. Your ego is your strictest judge. They run from it. They spend their lives running. It's easier to donate a few thousand to charity and think oneself noble than to base self-respect on personal standards of personal achievement. It's simple to seek substitutes for competence--such easy substitutes: love, charm, kindness, charity. But there is no substitute for competence.”

“There is no substitute to living in one's native land, struggling and winning with one's own people.”

“No one has come up with a substitute for hard work.”

“Is food a substitute for love? No, love is a substitute for food. And a pretty poor substitute at that.”

“I reject your reality and substitute my own.”
