“When you aren’t drinking or using drugs or spending lots of money on fancy toys or basking in the glow of fame or working all the time or eating your way through the refrigerator, being hateful and angry is a very handy shield from the truth. It lets you focus on everyone else’s shortcomings, and all the ways they have let you down. You can bemoan how all these broken people keep finding you somehow. That way you don’t have to focus on what really matters—the tough work of finding what is broken inside you.”
“By the time I was 30, nobody would work with me. I knew my life was at a crossroads. It was either over, or I was going to restart. I was friendless, I was hopeless, I was suicidal, lost my family.

“What I’m trying to do is get this message out about self-empowerment, entrepreneurial spirit and true Americanism—the way we were when we changed the world, when Edison was alone, failing his 2,000th time on the lightbulb.”
“Just do this one thing: promise yourself you’ll never deal underhanded to anybody. You’ll be honest in all of your business dealings. That is hard. Conquer that one. Demand it of yourself. Demand a higher standard for yourself and your children and do it.”
“It does not have to be that the greatest generation is behind us. It does not have to be that our children will have a lower standard of living. It will be that way if we choose to believe that. I choose not to believe that.”
