• To be the best and stay there sweat is necessary.
  I'm older. Of course I'm older. That's the beauty of it.
  Sixteen years plus different level of wisdom. Different level of understanding. Different level of punishment.
  i want to live loooong after my records have fallen, long after my rings have tarnished.
  Whatever you got to do to make sure you chase your legacy. Every second of your life.
  How will you be remembered? How will you be remembered?
  Why wouldn't you fight for the greatest achievement ever?
  Leave your mark to endure forever.

• Our historical bequest is sublime. I have inherited a fragmented but highly creative
  exile and, since 1948, a home. I don't know that I want to settle there. I prefer the
  creative spur of exile. () But wherever I am I shall be Jewish, and that sound will
  inform every syllable I write. I am blessed with a long ancestry of wisdom, prophecy,
  and promise, a line of overwhelming creative achievements, courage, humor, and,
  above all, a dogged and chronic permanence, the greatest legacy of all.

• America was founded by men who understood that the threat of domestic tyranny is as great as any threat from abroad. If we want to be worthy of their legacy, we must resist the rush toward ever-increasing state control of our society. Otherwise, our own government will become a greater threat to our freedoms than any foreign terrorist.

• What's the single most important thing to learn from an economics course today? What I tried to leave my students with is the view that the invisible hand is more powerful than the hidden hand.
