"Watch your thoughts, they become words;
Watch your words, they become actions;
Watch your actions, they become habits;
Watch your habits, they become character;
Watch your character, for it becomes your destiny."

"When I read a book I seem to read it with my eyes only, but now and then I come across a passage, perhaps only a phrase, which has a meaning for me, and it becomes part of me."

"Most groups have a potential for greatness that never quite takes off. But every so often the right person comes along who can put together a handful of superb people, set an impossible goal, engage them in a holy war, and let them rip."

"The fact that Mr. Elkann is so constantly and determinedly on the go is doubly impressive because he’s been on crutches since breaking three ribs and injuring his spine and right leg in a motorcycle accident 2½ months ago. “When you have investors, people expect things. You have to deliver,” he said. “But I’m extremely positive because I’m extremely lucky. I’m here and have the pleasure of working on things I love.”"

"What does it mean to become a better man? A great man?
A great man is largely forgotten by the public. He doesn't stand on top of a mountain waving a flag saying, "Look at me悠'm a great man." A great man often disappears into the ether. Hardly anyone notices that he was even there, apart from his family and close friends. He was reliable. He showed up. He was there. He was useful where he could be. He made mistakes. Tried to make better of those mistakes. Doesn't mean you have to cure cancer or understand the theory of relativity. It's not necessarily as rock-and-roll or as cool as you might think. Part of being a great man is accepting that. To dare to be average and normal is actually a pathway to becoming a great man. To have more humility. To accept responsibility more. To just get on with what's in front of your face."
