To be social is to be forgiving.

Don't forget that few people are likely to tell more than a small part of the truth: no one tells much of the truth, let alone the whole truth. Spoken words are facts in themselves, whether true or false. When people talk they reveal themselves, whether they're lying or telling the truth.

Halldór Laxness

It's often only in the lies we refuse to speak that any truth can be heard at all.

Karen Marie Moning

Diligence is the mother of good fortune.

Benjamin Disraeli

It's weird to say, but every time I look at my daughter and I see this little living breathing thing that came from me, that represents all of the hopes and dreams that I would want for her, I see a miracle.

Josh Gad

How then did it work out, all this? How did one judge people, think of them? How did one add up this and that and conclude that it is liking one felt, or disliking?

Virginia Woolf

Great people talk about ideas. Small people talk about other people.

J. R. Todd

...one half leaning in, one half pulling away.

Jodi Picoult

There is only one thing in life worse than being talked about, and that is not being talked about.

Oscar Wilde

Management manages by making decisions and by seeing that those decisions are implemented.

Harold S. Geneen

The evidence of the emotions, save in cases where it has strong objective support, is really no evidence at all, for every recognizable emotion has its opposite, and if one points one way then another points the other way. Thus the familiar argument that there is an instinctive desire for immortality, and that this desire proves it to be a fact, becomes puerile when it is recalled that there is also a powerful and widespread fear of annihilation, and that this fear, on the same principle proves that there is nothing beyond the grave. Such childish proofs are typically theological, and they remain theological even when they are adduced by men who like to flatter themselves by believing that they are scientific gents...
