“The most important thing in all human relationships is conversation, but people don’t talk anymore, they don’t sit down to talk and listen.

If we want to change the world, we have to go back to a time when warriors would gather around a fire and tell stories.”

“They would sit and talk and tell us their hard luck story. Whether it was true or not, we never questioned it. It’s very important you learn people as people are.”

“It’s obvious you kids are smart-school and good teachers will do that for you-but wisdom is something altogether different. Wisdom can be gathered in your downtime. Wisdom that can change the very course of your life will come from the people you are around, the books you read, and the things you listen to or watch on radio or television.”
