Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
Expect problems and eat them for breakfast.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Only the educated are free.
Never complain and never explain.
Always desire to learn something useful.
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.
