I would tell my younger self, just be yourself — that who you are is good enough.

Pretend you’re more obsessed with this moment and a little bit less with the way it ends.

I felt it shelter to speak to you.

I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving.

Trifles make perfection, and perfection is no trifle.

Don't allow your rituals to become ruts.

To go wrong in one's own way is better than to go right in someone else's.

It isn't just talent. You have to have something else. You have to have a kind of nerve.

Endure, and keep yourselves for days of happiness.

My only advice is to stay aware, listen carefully, and yell for help if you need it.

When you enter those places of trust, or power, dream a little before you think.

If you want to look good in front of thousands, you have to outwork thousands in front of nobody.
