"Many of our problems are broadly similar to those that undermined ... Norse Greenland, and that many other past societies also struggled to solve. Some of those past societies failed (like the Greenland Norse) and others succeeded ... The past offers us a rich database from which we can learn in order that we may keep on succeeding."

"Success doesn't come to you; you go to it."

"Two types of choices seem to me to have been crucial in tipping the outcomes [of the various societies' histories] towards success or failure: long-term planning and willingness to reconsider core values.

"Play around. Dive into absurdity and write. Take chances. You will succeed if you are fearless of failure."

"The really essential factors of success in any undertaking are money and opportunity, and as a rule, the man who can make the first can make the second."

"To dream by night is to escape your life. To dream by day is to make it happen."

"Let today be the day you stop being haunted by the ghost of yesterday. Holding a grudge & harboring anger/resentment is poison to the soul. Get even with people...but not those who have hurt us, forget them, instead get even with those who have helped us."
