• I see people getting so caught up in celebrating diversity that they are neglecting their commonality. I don't see this as a good thing. The Chinese culture has survived for more than five thousand years in part because the Chinese have embraced the same language and culture.

• If the errors of my life have profited me one great truth it is this: believe. Believe in your destiny and the star from which it shines.

Believe as if your life depended upon it, for indeed it does.
