I never had a mother. I suppose a mother is one to whom you hurry when you are troubled.

My father was a successful real estate developer, and he was a very tough man but a good man. My father would always praise me. He always thought I was the smartest person.

Hold a picture of yourself long and steadily enough in your minds eye, and you will be drawn toward it.

The 'public' scares me, but people I trust.

We make the future sustainable when we invest in the poor, not when we insist on their suffering.
