If you think you can do it, you can.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
After a storm comes a calm.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Know or listen to those who know.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
My contribution I hope is to get people to eat full-flavored food. If I could come away with that alone, that would be a fantastic accomplishment. I'm also very proud of being a very American chef.
