„What a wonderful thing is to be able to contribute to the restoration of someone’s health. It’s not only a feeling that I’m worth something, but that I have something to contribute.“
„You can sense their anger before they even say a word.“
„Occasionally I talk with people who see doctors as people who do nothing but give of themselves and never receive from anyone else – especially not from their patients. That is totally false. The longer I remain in my profession, the more I realize how much I receive from those who come to me for help.“
„We are capable of doing even better things than we believe we are, if we challenge each other to do it.“
„It is not a matter of competing with someone else. Essentially, it is accepting our own special abilities as special – and then developing them.“
„I sensed I was about to take one of the most important risks of my life. But I felt so right that I didn’t hesitate.“
„Being nice always comes back to repay us in the long run.“
„If things do go badly, will I wonder for the rest of my life what I might have done to help?“
„Once in a while, when it comes to taking risks, youthful naivete pays better dividends than do knowledge and experience.“
„Odds that you will die at some point in your life: 1 in 1. Thus, you might say the greatest, most significant, and universal risk factor in death is being born. This implies that it really isn’t very helpful to approach the subject of risk by focusing on how we might die; rather, it’s far wise to consider how we should live and what risk we will live with.“
„I believe we have this enormous brains with the ability to process so much information for a purpose – because we were made in God’s image, not in the image of an amoeba.“
„Every time I open a child’s head and see a brain, I marvel at the mystery: This is what makes every one of us who we are. This is what hold all our memories, all our thoughts, all our dreams. This is what makes us different from each other in millions of ways.“
„Anyone with a normal brain has the capacity to do almost anything, but when one has special gifts or talents (and everyone has) and takes advantage of and develops these talents – that person is likely to excel.“
„That learning process has been likened to the challenge of having someone open a fire hydrant and expect you to swallow it all.“
„We do not have to compare our achievements with those of others. We need only to ask ourselves one question: Have I given my best?“
„My own personal theory is that Joseph built the pyramids to store grain. Now all the archaeologists think that they were made for the pharaohs’ graves. But, you know, it would have to be something awfully big if you stop and think about it. And I don’t think it’d just disappear over the course of time to store that much grain.And when you look at the way that the pyramids are made, with many chambers that are hermetically sealed, they’d have to be that way for a reason. And various scientists have said, “Well, you know there were alien beings that came down and they have special knowledge and that’s how they were”—you know, it doesn’t require an alien being when God is with you.“
„I am sensitive to the fact that other people may have different beliefs.“
„I can provide one living example of someone who made it and who came from what we now call a disadvantaged background: me.“
„One of the great truths of life: I did not do it alone. I had help along the way.“
„The outstanding doctor constantly emphasized the humanitarian aspect of medical care.“
