Fires can’t be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.
James BaldwinBut innovation comes from people meeting up in the hallways or calling each other at 10:30 at night with a new idea, or because they realized something that shoots holes in how we’ve been thinking about a problem.
Steve JobsI’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.
Lady GagaIn order to be irreplaceable one must always be different.
Coco ChanelWe have observed that, in society and the world in which we live, selfishness has increased more than love for others, and that men of good will must work, each with his own strengths and expertise, to ensure that love for others increases until it is equal and possibly exceeds love for oneself.
Pope FrancisFootball in itself is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place and ‚play the game,‘ and these are the best of training for any game of life.
Robert Baden-PowellFacebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It’s a technology that brings people together.
BonoThe world is put back by the death of every one who has to sacrifice the development of his or her peculiar gifts to conventionality.
Florence NightingaleI hope that what you take away from my album is not just the music – which I did want to be fun, and I did want it to be about individuality, but please also take away from it that there’s no dream that’s too big.
Lady GagaGreat things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.
Steve JobsIf the freedom of speech is taken away then dumb and silent we may be led, like sheep to the slaughter.
George WashingtonI look like a woman, but I think like a man.
Dolly PartonToday you are you! That is truer than true! There is no one alive who is you-er than you!
Dr. SeussAll I can do is be me, whoever that is.
Bob DylanWe have a very open culture at the company, where we foster a lot of interaction between not just me and people but between everyone else. It’s an open floor plan. People have these desks where no one really has an office. I mean, I have a room where I meet with people. But it has all glass, so everyone can see into it and see what’s going on.
Mark ZuckerbergYou aren’t normal if you sing to people. You aren’t a normal person. It’s nerve-racking.
The WeekndOn this team, we’re all united in a common goal: to keep my job.
Lou HoltzLet every man be respected as an individual and no man idolized.
Albert EinsteinEither you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.
F. Scott FitzgeraldWorking with a lot of people at the same time is a task. I really like making stuff and getting stuff done. One of the things I really liked about Facebook was that I could always move so quickly. I wrote the original application in, like, nine days at the end of January.
Mark ZuckerbergI’m a really particular person. I want it my way.
Billie EilishTo refrain from imitation is the best revenge.
Marcus AureliusWe allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders.
Maya AngelouWhy should we be in such desperate haste to succeed, and in such desperate enterprises? If a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer.
Henry David ThoreauNo person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.
Andrew CarnegieNo man will make a great leader who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit for doing it.
Andrew CarnegieI’ve never bought into any sort of hard and fast, this-box/that-box characterization. People are individuals. Yes, they may be expected to be a particular way. But that doesn’t mean they’re going to be that way.
Margaret AtwoodIf a man does not keep pace with his companions, perhaps it is because he hears a different drummer. Let him step to the music which he hears, however measured or far away.
Henry David ThoreauI like it when someone tells me ‚I don’t agree.‘ This is a true collaborator. When they say ‚Oh, how great, how great, how great,‘ that’s not useful.
Pope FrancisI have no models in Japanese literature. I created my own style, my own way.
Haruki MurakamiWe named the book ‚Extreme Ownership‘ because we really found that when we looked at not only at leaders but at teams that were the most successful, we found that the ones that had this attitude of extreme ownership were the ones that did the best, and it’s definitely an attitude that I had.
Jocko WillinkThis soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.
Virginia WoolfMy style has always been my own, just like my flow and style.
Bad BunnyOnly the guy who isn’t rowing has time to rock the boat.
Jean-Paul SartreIn this big ball of people, I’m just one grain of sand on this beach.
AuroraSynergy is better than my way or your way. It’s our way.
Stephen CoveyThe indestructible is one: it is each individual human being and, at the same time, it is common to all, hence the incomparably indivisible union that exists between human beings.
Franz KafkaMost people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.
Oscar WildeWe can succeed only by concert. It is not, ‚Can any of us imagine better,‘ but, ‚Can we all do better?‘
Abraham LincolnWhen I began in 1960, individuality wasn’t an accepted thing to look for; it was about species-specific behaviour. But animal behaviour is not hard science. There’s room for intuition.
Jane GoodallIt seems like when I was growing up there was more compromise, wanting to work with each other, and I think all of them – all of the lawmakers – have hearts to do what’s right, and they all are passionate about it.
Joel OsteenYou are remembered for the rules you break.
Douglas MacArthurGreat things are done by a series of small things brought together.
Vincent Van GoghI just love working hard. I love being part of a team; I love working toward a common goal.
Tom BradyAll that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.
Albert CamusOver the years, all my coaches and my teammates have contributed a lot to shape my career. I can never forget their contribution and help.
Sunil ChhetriTo all the positions, I just bring the determination to win. Me being an unselfish player, I think that can carry on to my teammates. When you have one of the best players on the court being unselfish, I think that transfers to the other players.
LeBron JamesIn my research, I’ve interviewed a lot of people who never fit in, who are what you might call ‚different‘: scientists, artists, thinkers. And if you drop down deep into their work and who they are, there is a tremendous amount of self-acceptance.
Brene BrownI periodically realize every few years that the only person whose taste I really trust is me.
Brian EnoEvery band I’ve worked with also wants to be countercultural in the sense that they want to feel that they’ve gone somewhere that nobody else has been.
Brian EnoYou know, you can only lead them from behind.
Nelson MandelaWe care for each other and care about our family, and we are both working towards the same goal.
Angelina JolieYou can sometimes play some really good football and not score.
Sunil ChhetriThe people who are doing the work are the moving force behind the Macintosh. My job is to create a space for them, to clear out the rest of the organization and keep it at bay.
Steve JobsThe supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.
Dwight D. EisenhowerIt is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
Nelson MandelaThe commander in the field is always right and the rear echelon is wrong, unless proved otherwise.
Colin PowellI like to be myself, and I don’t pretend. For instance, I don’t dress up for occasions; I am what I am.
Virat KohliI didn’t try to copy my dad or fit into the pressure or the mold that everybody tried to make me fit into.
Joel OsteenThe way a team plays as a whole determines its success. You may have the greatest bunch of individual stars in the world, but if they don’t play together, the club won’t be worth a dime.
Babe Ruth
