Humility

Ask for guidance before you commit the crime. Trust me, it is much less embarrassing to ask for help privately than to beg for forgiveness at graduation.

We're all strapped in, seated together on a gigantic ball whirling around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour, nested in a galaxy hurtling through the depths of space and time at 1.3 million miles per hour.

You don't have to be Bill Gates or Thomas Edison or Henry Ford to make a difference. Thousands of less famous entrepreneurs have done more than their part to enrich this country.

Do not confuse your net worth with your self-worth.

Being average doesn't mean you can't have an effect on the world.

Learn humility and wisdom when you stumble, because it will help you when you succeed.

Many are the plans in a man's heart, but the Lord directs his steps.

No question is too stupid. You're not as smart as you think you are. You never will be. There's always room to learn. Don't be scared to ask.

I had to take off the teacher mask, which so many of us put on at the beginning; the mask that says: 'Well, I'm the teacher and I know it all. You sit there and I'll tell you.'

Between chutzpah and humility lies success. The biggest killer of a good mind is to stick it in a fat head.

Following that dream, listening to that little voice, does not guarantee success. Luck is an ingredient not to be overlooked.
