I used to walk like a giant on the land. Now I feel like a leaf floating in a stream
In my life I have had various health threats: polio, seizures, a brain aneurysm. None of these things has really changed me much, although it is hard to say for sure. These are events that are part of my life. They make me who I am. I am thankful for them. They are scary.

I try not to look back. I'm looking forward. I'm worried more about what I'm going to do next week than I am what I did last week. There are too many things to do. Looking back is for everybody else.

Without all of this, ... Jimmy Carter nor Bill Clinton might never have been elected president.
Whew, we knew Bentonville was going to be good, and one of the teams to beat in the conference ... I hope they all aren't that good, because if they are I am going to retire.
While Dell may be under pressure on short-term earnings guidance, we believe the company has a more attractive long-term strategy that can generate 25-percent-plus earnings growth.
They're kind of baby steps. We haven't made any measurable impact on the mortality rate or survival of this disease.
