29 " Plan for the day when all your plans fail, when those you trust betray you, when your certainty cracks like a rotten egg and you are alone in the storm. "
30 " You make mistakes, people die. You move forward. Perfect people accomplish nothing. "

32 " People in a hurry get noticed. "
33 " A man had to close his eyes to remain an optimist, and there was no honor in that. "
