—Nunca se está en paz con los que nos hacen un favor —dijo Dantés—, porque aunque se pague el dinero, se debe la gratitud.
“People love to say, “Give a man a fish, and he’ll eat for a day. Teach a man to fish, and he’ll eat for a lifetime.” What they don’t say is, “And it would be nice if you gave him a fishing rod.” That’s the part of the analogy that’s missing.”

“Todo reportero debe atenerse al principio básico de ser testigo directo de los hechos. Si bien las ruedas de prensa y las declaraciones oficiales son útiles en la labor periodística, nada sustituye a los acontecimientos reales".”

“(...) en política las explicaciones siempre llegan demasiado tarde. Nunca debes dar explicaciones ni quejarte. Como mucho, si eres afortunado, lograrás vengarte.”

“I don’t regret anything I’ve ever done in life, any choice that I’ve made. But I’m consumed with regret for the things I didn’t do, the choices I didn’t make, the things I didn’t say. We spend so much time being afraid of failure, afraid of rejection. But regret is the thing we should fear most. Failure is an answer. Rejection is an answer. Regret is an eternal question you will never have the answer to. “What if…” “If only…” “I wonder what would have…” You will never, never know, and it will haunt you for the rest of your days.”
