Relationships

We have so much more that unites us than divides us.

You are smarter when you're in the company of smarter people than you. Fifty percent of my friends have to be from walks of life that are not directly related to my walk of life, and at least fifty percent of my friends are smarter than I am.

When you teach, you learn that you are the other. That the distance between us is not as great as we fear.

Try never to be the smartest person in the room. And if you are, I suggest you invite smarter people — or find a different room.

Love is the only thing that the more you give away, the more you have.

At the end of your life, you will never regret not having passed one more test, not winning one more verdict, or closing one more deal. You will regret time not spent with a husband, a friend, or a parent.

The most valuable asset of an organization is its people, and people working together as a team toward a shared vision is the real key to success.

No exercise is better for the human heart than reaching down and lifting up another person.

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls in the air. You name them — work, family, health, friends and spirit. Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass.

Imagine life as a game in which you are juggling five balls — work, family, health, friends, and spirit. Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. But the other four balls are made of glass. If you drop one of these, they will be irrevocably scuffed, marked, nicked, damaged, or even shattered.

Never cook for or sleep with anyone who routinely puts you down.

Your good friends from college may be the best friends you ever have. Guard those relationships like gold, work hard to maintain them. When they have a wedding, go across the country to be there. When one of them needs your help, cross the globe to give it to them.
