The English instinctively admire any man who has no talent, and is modest about it.

Business and growing jobs is about taking risk, sometimes failing, sometimes succeeding, but always striving. It is about dreams. Usually, it doesn't work out exactly as you might have imagined. Steve Jobs was fired at Apple. He came back and changed the world.

Life is a difficult game. You can win it only by retaining your birthright to be a person.

A. P. J. Abdul Kalam

War paralyzes your courage and deadens the spirit of true manhood.

Alexander Berkman

The answer for healthcare is market incentives, not healthcare by a Godzilla-sized government bureaucracy.

Once when I was lost . . . I saw a policeman and asked him to help me find my parents. I said to him, Do you think we'll ever find them? He said, I don't know kid . . . there are so many places they can hide.

Rodney Dangerfield

When I moved to New York, I fell head over heels back into country music and probably 'cause I missed something about Texas.

Our strength in finance has led us to set up an international financial centre with medium and long-term objectives, especially to develop Islamic financial and insurance services.

Hassanal Bolkiah

What is interesting about self-analysis is that it leads nowhere -- it is an art form in itself.

Anita Brookner

Do not all charms fly at the mere touch of cold philosophy? There was an awful rainbow once in heaven: we know her woof, her texture; she is given in the dull catalogue of common things. Philosophy will clip an angel's wings, conquer all mysteries by rule and line, empty the haunted air, and gnome mine unweave a rainbow.

John Keats

You are told to love your neighbour as yourself. How do you love yourself? When I look into my own mind, I find that I do not love myself by thinking myself a dear old chap or having affectionate feelings. I do not think that I love myself because I am particularly good, but just because I am myself and quite apart from my character. I might detest something which I have done. Nevertheless, I do not cease to love myself. In other words, that definite distinction that Christians make between hating sin and loving the sinner is one that you have been making in your own case since you were born. You dislike what you have done, but you don't cease to love yourself. You may even think that you ought to be hanged. You may even think that you ought to go to the Police and own up and be hanged. Love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained.

C.S. Lewis, God in the Dock by C

To whom does design address itself: to the greatest number, to the specialist of an enlightened matter, to a privileged social class? Design addresses itself to the need.

Charles Eames
