Purpose

Insist that we support science and the arts, especially the arts. They have nothing to do with the actual defense of our country — they just make our country worth defending.

The only way to do great work is to love what you do.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma — which is living with the results of other people's thinking.

Everybody worships. The only choice we get is what to worship. And the compelling reason for choosing some sort of god or spiritual-type thing to worship is that pretty much anything else you worship will eat you alive.

The story of your lives will be the story of your struggle to be true to the ideas you believe in.

To make a difference in this world, you must be involved. By serving a higher calling here or abroad, you'll make your lives richer and build a more hopeful future for our world.

Process without purpose is pretty much the definition of bureaucracy. Never let the how get in the way of the what.

The world needs a leading nation, or group of nations, that can reassure, inspire hope, and offer fresh perspectives and new directions.

You cannot put a full life in a small dream box. What you need is to have a dream box that is as full as the potential you have today.

Pick a company or organization that is dedicated to helping humanity. Then your life will be dedicated to a worthy cause.

The future is not fixed, it's fluid. You can build your own building, or hut or condo, whatever.

We live to commune. We live to create. Our enduring biological and spiritual drive is to create, to live in the act of becoming. It is not a choice. It is our experience of our existence.
