"A smart man is one who knows how to be smart enough to hire people smarter than him."
"Conformity is the jailer of freedom and the enemy of growth."
"We choose to go to the Moon in this decade not because it is easy, but because it is difficult …"
"You can fool everyone for a short time, you can fool some all of the time, but you cannot fool everyone all of the time."
"Change is the law of life. Anyone who looks only to the past or to the present will miss the future."
"We don't all have the same talent, but we do have the same opportunities to develop our talents."
