The lessons of history would suggest that civilisations move in cycles. You can track that back quite far – the Babylonians, the Sumerians, followed by the Egyptians, the Romans, China. We’re obviously in a very upward cycle right now, and hopefully that remains the case. But it may not.

It is comforting to reflect that the disproportion of things in the world seems to be only arithmetical.

I’ve got a pen and I’ve got a phone – and I can use that pen to sign executive orders and take executive actions and administrative actions that move the ball forward.

Actions are the seed of fate deeds grow into destiny.

As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world – that is the myth of the atomic age – as in being able to remake ourselves.

One may say the eternal mystery of the world is its comprehensibility.

I believe nothing happens by mistake. You know, the universe has a divine plan. That sounds dramatic.
