And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don't get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We're always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it's only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.

An Athenian citizen does not neglect the state because he takes care of his own household; and even those of us who are engaged in business have a very fair idea of politics. We alone regard a man who takes no interest in public affairs, not as a harmless, but as a useless character, and if few of us are originators, we are all sound judges of a policy.

Thucydides

A positive attitude can really make dreams come true - it did for me.

David Bailey

I wonder anybody does anything at Oxford but dream and remember, the place is so beautiful. One almost expects the people to sing instead of speaking. It is all like an opera.

William Butler Yeats

No accurate thinker will judge another person by that which the other person's enemies say about him.

Napoleon Hill

If you want to see the true measure of a man, watch how he treats his inferiors, not his equals.

J. K. Rowling

The man who trusts men will make fewer mistakes that he who distrusts them.

Camillo Benso Conte Di Cavour

Elijah went before the people and said, How long will you waver between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow him; but if Baal is God, follow him. But the people said nothing. 1 Kings 18:21

Bible

Is it more probable that nature should go out of her course or that a man should tell a lie? We have never seen, in our time, nature go out of her course. But we have good reason to believe that millions of lies have been told in the same time. It is therefore at least millions to one that the reporter of a miracle tells a lie.

Thomas Paine

Japanese people have a funny habit of abbreviating names.

Shigeru Miyamoto

There are certain moments when we might wish the future were built by men of the past.

Jean Rostand

I was always trying to make up for my size, to compensate. So to get people to take you seriously, you have to come at things with a great deal of strength. You have to emphasize that the way you are is unusual. That you don't come along every day.

Linda Hunt

Even when I was a little kid, I always said I would be in the movies one day, and damned if I didn't make it.

Richard Pryor
