All my favorite artists and fashion icons and models are from the Nineties. Everybody was just so fearless.

Decision making, like coffee, needs a cooling process.

One of my predecessors is said to have observed that in making his decisions he had to operate like a football quarterback - he could not very well call the next play until he saw how the last play turned out. Well, that may be a good way to run a football team, but in these days it is no way to run a government.

There are basically no companies that have good slow decisions. There are only companies that have good fast decisions.

I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear.

After all, the wrong road always leads somewhere.
