Intuition is critical in virtually everything you do, but without relentless preparation and execution, it is meaningless.

Trust your intuition and then work with everything you have to prove it right.

Let your joy be in your journey — not in some distant goal.

A Mind is a Terrible Thing to Waste.

Education has a public value. Your education will not only bring you a bigger paycheck. It will enable you to be a better fellow citizen, more productive, better able to participate in solving the challenges I and my peers have not been able to conquer.

Our education is under attack — what do we do? Fight back.

In dreams begin responsibility.

Dreaming during turbulent times indeed takes courage, but an even greater valor is required once those dreams are fulfilled.

Do not let any obstacles — personal, political, or economic — impede you. And once you've fulfilled your dreams, know that that is when you're liable to confront the greatest challenges. But so, too, may you derive the privilege of service.

We should define the world by its opportunities rather than by its dangers.

Our problems are manmade — therefore, they can be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.

Life is harsh and sometimes even ruthless. Only the tough survive. That is one strand of thinking. The other says: humankind is a species of designers, problem solvers, and seekers. We don't have to accept our follies and our missteps.
