If I succeed in business but fail as a father, then I've failed.

Victory has a thousand fathers, but defeat is an orphan.

I don't want to look back and say, 'Yeah, I was really successful, but I failed at fatherhood because I wasn't there.'

When one has not had a good father, one must create one.

My goal is not to create a circumstance in which no one fails, but one in which many will succeed.

Failure is a part of success.

Success is not the absence of failure; it's the persistence through failure.

People say you don't need a father to be successful. I take offense to that.

As fathers commonly go, it is seldom a misfortune to be fatherless; and considering the general run of sons, as seldom a misfortune to be childless.
