What you are building, if you build it right, if you dedicate yourself to perfection, will allow the people across the planet to be free for the next half century, will allow America to lead the world,
He was a kind soul with a rare ability to make people laugh, ... lost a very, very dear friend.
He is purely and simply the most important developer of effective management and of effective public policy in the 20th century, ... In the more than 30 years that I've studied him, talked with him and learned from him, he has been invaluable and irreplaceable.
