The only success worth one's powder was success in the line of one's idiosyncrasy... what was talent but the art of being completely whatever one happened to be?

I believe success is preparation, because opportunity is going to knock on your door sooner or later but are you prepared to answer that?

You'll never convince me there is a hopeless situation or there is any finality in any success or any failure.

The manic pursuit of success cost me everything I could love: my wife, my three children, some friends I would have liked to grow old with.

The success of the Rat Pack or the Clan was due to the camaraderie, the three guys who work together and kid each other and love each other.
