"Everyone says we have our first African American president. Has there ever been a Jewish president? An Italian president? They don't say a damn thing about that. You think we're still fighting the Civil War or something. If you want to mention it in passing, OK. But don't dwell on it."

If you aren't regularly exercising your courage, then you are strengthening your fear by default; there is no middle ground.”
“Confidence is everything. From there, it's a small step to winning.”
