There is no royal road to a successful life, as there is no royal road to learning. It has got to be hard knocks, morning, noon, and night, and fixity of purpose.

The road is a lot of work.

What my father especially taught me was to not always take the safe road, the easy road. If you are going to do good work, you have to risk failing badly.

There is no royal road to anything, one thing at a time, all things in succession. That which grows fast, withers as rapidly. That which grows slowly, endures.

The road is hard, and you have to get accustomed to it.

There's no one particular road that will lead you to success. I think everybody will find it differently.

Building a road might create temporary jobs, but does it really create wealth if it doesn't also shorten commute times or otherwise make society better off?

I have often found that no matter where I meet people in the world, there is a path that leads back to Queen's.

If you don't know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.
