“You can't move so fast that you try to change the mores faster than people can accept it. That doesn't mean you do nothing, but it means that you do the things that need to be done according to priority.”

“what we need in the world is manners ... I think that if, instead of preaching brotherly love, we preached good manners, we might get a little further. It sounds less righteous and more practical.”

“The worst thing is to be born sighted but to lack vision.”

“I have never been interested in personal gain or profit. This business and this studio have been my entire life.”

“To pay attention, this is our endless and proper work.”

“He who would really benefit mankind must reach them through their work.”

“The soil says, don't bring me your need, bring me your seed.”

“At the end of the day, it's not about what you have or even what you've accomplished. It's about what you've done with those accomplishments. Its about who you've lifted up, who you've made better. It about what you've given back" (23).”
