As I approve of a youth that has something of the old man in him, so I am no less pleased with an old man that has something of the youth. He that follows this rule may be old in body, but can never be so in mind.

Friendship has always belonged to the core of my spiritual journey.

I think I've been fortunate to be at the top of the game and in the media for years, and a lot of times, people want to be your friend when you're on the top. You know, there have been times when I've been injured and I never got a phone call. So that's the way it is.

Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.

The stuff that matters in life is no longer stuff. It's other people. It's relationships. It's experience.
