"When I turned 35, I thought, 'Mozart was dead at 36, so I set the bar: I'm going to start writing a book on my next birthday.'

"Ambition is greed without makeup."
"Don't just raise the bar. Raise the roof."
"It is my ambition to say in ten sentences what others say in a whole book."
"Kindness consents very readily to the removal of its object " we have all met people whose kindness to animals is constantly leading them to kill animals lest they should suffer. Kindness, merely as such, cares not whether its object becomes good or bad, provided only that it escapes suffering."
"It was an impossible achievement but that didn't stop me from trying and having fun."

"The proposition is peace. Not peace through the medium of war; not peace to be hunted through the labyrinth of intricate and endless negotiations; not peace to arise out of universal discord, fomented from principle, in all parts of the empire; not peace to depend on the juridical determination of perplexing questions, or the precise marking the shadowy boundaries of a complex government. It is simple peace, sought in its natural course and in its ordinary haunts. It is peace sought in the spirit of peace, and laid in principles purely pacific."
"It is, generally, in the season of prosperity that men discover their real temper, principles, and designs."
