One of Paul's favorite quotes is:"A dog has no use for fancy cars, big homes, or designer clothes. Status symbol means nothing to him. A waterlogged stick will do just fine. A dog judges others not by their color or creed or class, but by who they are inside. A dog doesn't care if you are rich or poor, educated or illiterate, clever or dull. Give him your heart, and he will give you his. How many people can you say that about? How many people can make you feel rare, pure, and special? How many people can make you feel extraordinary? It is really quite simple, and yet we humans, so much wiser and more sophisticated, have always had trouble figuring out what really counts and what does not.

It's a lifestyle. Sometimes "trying" your best is just an excuse for not "doing" your best. Success is more a function of consistent common sense than it is of genius. Money can’t buy you happiness, but it does bring you a more pleasant form of misery. Do not follow where a path may lead. Go, instead, where there is no path and leave a trail. Do what you love to do....but it will take forever to start over again....well how long will it take you?....A few years....Well how long will it take you if you didn't do what you love?....I'll be dead....(Smiles) We must sacrifice who we are now for what we will become. I'm the poison you wish you never drank. Take risks not to escape life, but to prevent life from escaping you. I was handed a rusty spoon. I'm polishing it to make it platinum.".
