Leadership is about making others better as a result of your presence and making sure that impact lasts in your absence.

The main difference between me and other people who have amassed this kind of money is that I am primarily interested in ideas, and not in making money.

I’m not perfect, and I don’t pretend to be.

The healthy social life is found when in the mirror of each human soul the whole community finds its reflection, and when in the community the virtue of each one is living.

Courage doesn’t mean you don’t get afraid. Courage means you don’t let fear stop you.

Life is not what one lived, but what one remembers and how one remembers it in order to recount it.
