  • Money has no color. If you can build a better mousetrap, it won't matter whether you're black or white. People will buy it.

  • You either get the point of Africa or you don't. What draws me back year after year is that it's like seeing the world with the lid off.

  • A divided heart loses both worlds.

  • Aggressive Christianity is the world's greatest need.

  • Keeping up appearances is the most expensive thing in the world.

  • I am not a pessimist but a pejorist (as George Eliot said she was not an optimist but a meliorist); and that philosophy is founded on my observation of the world, not on anything so trivial and irrelevant as personal history.

  • Let me tell you, though: being the smartest boy in the world wasn’t easy. I didn’t ask for this. I didn’t want this. On the contrary, it was a huge burden.
