The very first step towards success in any occupation is to become interested in it.

One fails forward toward success.

Focused hard work is the real key to success. Keep your eyes on the goal and just keep taking the next step towards completing it. If you aren't sure which way to do something do it both ways and see which works better.

Success is steady progress toward one's personal goals.

Only by contending with challenges that seem to be beyond your strength to handle at the moment you can grow more surely toward the stars.

We've seen the kind of social impact a professional sports team has on a city. A team brings high-profile role models into your community who are healthy and they're great images for the city to gravitate toward especially for kids.

My tastes in all things lean towards the arty and boring. I like sports documentaries about Scrabble players bands that play quiet unassuming music and TV shows that win awards. In that way I am an elitist snob.

What you're seeing with Occupy Wall Street and the others are people who are unhappy and they're directing their unhappiness now toward Wall Street and toward those they think are doing too well in our society.

I'm really convinced that our descendants a century or two from now will look back at us with the same pity that we have toward the people in the field of science two centuries ago.

Modem science then maintains on the one hand that nature both organic and inorganic strives towards a state of order and that man's actions are governed by the same tendency.

No one was going to stop me from writing and no one had to really guide me towards science fiction. It was natural really that I would take that interest.

If we don't make earnest moves toward real solutions then each day we move one day closer to revolution and anarchy in this country. This is the sad and yet potentially joyous state of America.

Being popular comes when you have everything. But to be liked it means that you must be treating people with respect and you must be showing kindness toward them.
