I always tell my kids, 'If you're going to do something, do it well. And if you're not going to do it well, don't do it at all.'

I do not know what I may appear to the world， but to myself I seem to have been only like a boy playing on the sea-shore， and diverting myself in now and then finding a smoother pebble or a prettier shell than ordinary， whilst the great ocean of truth lay all undiscovered before me.

The thing you’re most afraid to write, that’s what you should write.

如果你不喜欢某件事，就改变它。如果你无法改变它，就改变你的态度。

永远不要为了速度而牺牲质量。

The biggest weapon on the court is your mind.

建筑应该像一朵云——存在但不沉重。
