I think it is really important to have a sense of business. As a designer you can get so wrapped up in the design and fashion side that you forget the business side.

Business, you know, may bring you money, but friendship hardly ever does.

Jane Austen

Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey 'people.' People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war. If it is held that the instinct for preserving the species should always be obeyed at the expense of other instincts, whence do we derive this rule of precedence? To listen to that instinct speaking in its own case and deciding in its own favour would be rather simple minded. Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of all the rest. By the very act of listening to one rather than to others we have already prejudged the case. If we did not bring to the examination of our instincts a knowledge of their comparative dignity we could never learn it from them. And that knowledge cannot itself be instinctive: the judge cannot be one of the parties judged: or, if he is, the decision is worthless and there is no ground for placing preservation of the species above self-preservation or sexual appetite.

C.S. Lewis

There can be no defense like elaborate courtesy.

E. V. Lucas

The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.

Shimon Peres

Back when I was a competitive swimmer, I used to dream of going to the Olympics. But then I changed my mind, once I found out how expensive the tickets are.?

Jarod Kintz

Where vice is vengeance follows.

Scottish Proverb

It would be better for us to have some doubts in an honest pursuit of truth, than it would be for us to be certain about something that was not true.

Daniel Wallace

Common sense and nature will do a lot to make the pilgrimage of life not too difficult.

W. Somerset Maugham

The clog of all pleasure, the luggage of life, is the best can be said for a very good wife.

Earl Rochester

I can tell you I love you as many times as you can stand to hear it, but all it does is remind us that love is not enough. Not even close.

Mark Andrus

Hard work never killed anybody, but why take a chance?

Charlie McCarthy

Nevertheless, the consuming hunger of the uncritical mind for what it imagines to be certainty or finality impels it to feast upon shadows in the prevailing famine of substance.

E. T. Bell
