We must, indeed, all hang together or, most assuredly, we shall all hang separately. 

Especially for those of us who lived in single cells, you had the time to sit down and think, and we discovered that sitting down just to think is one of the best ways of keeping yourself fresh and able, to be able to address the problems facing you, and you had the opportunity, also, of examining your past.

You can't build a reputation on what you are going to do. 

A few holes in your character can feel you down, but if you fill those holes with complete dedication, then no one can stop you from achieving the top position.
