If you are planning on doing business with someone again, don't be too tough in the negotiations. If you're going to skin a cat, don't keep it as a house cat.

Our concern must be to live while we're alive... to release our inner selves from the spiritual death that comes with living behind a facade designed to conform to external definitions of who and what we are.

Elisabeth KublerRoss

True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.

St. Jerome

How very seldom do you encounter in the world a man of great abilities, acquirements, experience, who will unmask his mind, unbutton his brains, and pour forth in careless and picturesque phrase all the results of his studies and observation; his knowledge of men, books, and nature. On the contrary, if a man has by any chance an original idea, he hoards it as if it were old gold; and rather avoids the subject with which he is most conversant, from fear that you may appropriate his best thoughts.

Benjamin Disraeli

There's something dangerous about what's funny. Jarring and disconcerting. There is a connection between funny and scary.

Christopher Walken

The news of any politician's death should be listed under Public Improvements.

Frank Dane

As a business leader you have to ask yourself, Am I creating a consumer environment that is conducive to loyalty? If the answer is no, FIX IT!

Steve Maraboli

If I have seen further it is only by standing on the shoulders of giants.

Isaac Newton

I've been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don't have a child at home.

Jessica Lange

Business is like a wheelbarrow--it stands still until someone pushes it.

Since the 1960s, there has been a tremendous expansion of the resources available to pay for health care.

Phil Bredesen

I am not ashamed to use the word class. I will also plead guilty to another charge. The charge is that people belonging to my class think they're better than other people. You're damn right we're better. We're better because we do not shirk our obligations either to ourselves or to others. . . .we live by our lights, we die by our lights, and whoever the high gods may be, we'll look them in the eye without apology.

Walker Percy, The Moviegoer char

Two things only the people desire: bread, and the circus games.

Juvenal
