“The primordial sea indefatigably repeats the same words and casts up the same astonished beings on the same sea-shore.”
“In honor of Oprah Winfrey: Even greater than the ability to inspire others with hope is the power to motivate them to give as much to the lives of others as they would give to their own; and to empower them to confront the worst in themselves in order to discover and claim the best in themselves.”
“There may be no less original idea than the notion that our hearts hold dominion over our heads.”
“I think some aspects of writing can be taught. Obviously, you can't teach vision or talent. But you can help with comfort.”
“I've got 's much feelin' as the next one, but when folks drives in their spiggits and wants to draw a bucketful o' compassion every day right straight along, there does come times when it seems as if the bar'l was getting low.”
“I have done hard jobs in the past, and acting isn't one of them.”
“Somebody asked me 'what's the job of a CEO', and there's a number of things a CEO does.

And that company will hopefully be successful, if you have the right vision, the right strategy, and good people.”
“No one ever felt sorry for a banker.”
