I’m not a genius. I need other people to get the perfect information. When we have this, we will decide to sign or sell a player.

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.

No person will make a great business who wants to do it all himself or get all the credit.

All that I know most surely about morality and obligations I owe to football.

To me, football is so much about mental toughness, it’s digging deep, it’s doing whatever you need to do to help a team win and that comes in a lot of shapes and forms.

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.

No cricket team in the world depends on one or two players. The team always plays to win.

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.

Get someone else to blow your horn and the sound will carry twice as far.

A company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.

As the builders say, the larger stones do not lie well without the lesser.

There’s a bond among a kitchen staff, I think. You spend more time with your chef in the kitchen than you do with your own family.

Your teammates give you the confidence. They give me the confidence all year, all postseason.

At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top – I’m afraid that’s not quite right.

Good management consists in showing average people how to do the work of superior people.

I won’t accept anything less than the best a player’s capable of doing… and he has the right to expect the best that I can do for him and the team!

If everyone is moving forward together, then success takes care of itself.

I never did anything alone. Whatever was accomplished in this country was accomplished collectively.

Soldiers generally win battles; generals get credit for them.

A general is just as good or just as bad as the troops under his command make him.

It’s against all of our policies for an application to ever share information with advertisers.

Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

Great discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.

Where the spirit does not work with the hand, there is no art.

Back, you know, a few generations ago, people didn’t have a way to share information and express their opinions efficiently to a lot of people. But now they do. Right now, with social networks and other tools on the Internet, all of these 500 million people have a way to say what they’re thinking and have their voice be heard.

The lessons from the peace process are clear; whatever life throws at us, our individual responses will be all the stronger for working together and sharing the load.

Once you get on the playing field it’s not about whether you’re liked or not liked. All that matters is to play at a high level and do whatever it takes to help your team win. That’s what it’s about.

China and the U.S. need each other very badly. Yes, we should argue about some things, but it’s not an ‚us versus them,‘ it’s an ‚us and them‘ type scenario.

There are no problems we cannot solve together, and very few that we can solve by ourselves.

As commanders and staff officers, we are coaches and sentries for our units: how can we coach anything if we don’t know a hell of a lot more than just the TTPs?

My model for business is The Beatles: They were four guys that kept each others‘ negative tendencies in check; they balanced each other. And the total was greater than the sum of the parts.

I like to work with artists from around the world. There are so many new inspiring filmmakers.

Even sleepers are workers and collaborators in what goes on in the Universe.

Teamwork is so important that it is virtually impossible for you to reach the heights of your capabilities or make the money that you want without becoming very good at it.

And so I think that the idea of America working with other countries to solve problems is good for us, and it is part of digging us out of the ‚my way or the highway‘ approach that was evident in the previous eight years.

We will explore the mysteries of science and harness the power of technology and innovation. We will realise the opportunities of the digital world. Our youth will learn more from – and with – each other.

If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?

It’s insane that, since the Beatles and Dylan, it’s assumed that all musicians should do everything themselves. It’s that ridiculous, teenage idea that when Mick Jagger sings, he’s telling you something about his own life. It’s so arrogant to think that people would want to know about it anyway!

I’m not going to change the world. You’re not going to change the world. But we can help – we can all help.

The idea is to try to give all the information to help others to judge the value of your contribution; not just the information that leads to judgment in one particular direction or another.

I have a good team. It’s good to have a good team.

My wife and I don’t compete. We know each other’s preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That’s what friends do.

Things must be done by parties, not by persons using parties as tools.

In football, it’s the job of the player to play, the coach to coach, the official to officiate. Each guy is charged with upholding his end, nothing more. In golf, the player, coach and official are rolled into one, and they overlap completely. Golf really is the best microcosm of life – or at least the way life should be.

The connectivity declaration is about uniting the whole industry – a lot of companies that typically compete very fiercely – to push in a coherent direction.

The commander in the field is always right and the rear echelon is wrong, unless proved otherwise.

I fully understand the expectations of the state governments. Thus, I am better placed to work closely with the chief ministers.

Nothing can be more absurd than the practice that prevails in our country of men and women not following the same pursuits with all their strengths and with one mind, for thus, the state instead of being whole is reduced to half.

Strength lies in differences, not in similarities.

If you’re going to change things, you have to be with the people who hold the levers.

If you want to reach the top, don’t run over others. Likely, the only way you’ll reach the top is to be carried there by others.

Competition has been shown to be useful up to a certain point and no further, but cooperation, which is the thing we must strive for today, begins where competition leaves off.

Dr. Karel Culik is an outstanding applied mathematician, a specialist in algebra, logic, computer sciences and mathematical linguistics. In 1965, he visited the linguistics research program at MIT, and we have worked together on several projects since.

One of my direct subordinates, one of my guys that worked for me, he would call me up or pull me aside with some major problem, some issue that was going on. And he’d say, ‚Boss, we’ve got this, and that, and the other thing.‘ And I’d look at him and I’d say, ‚Good.‘

When you are an actor, you have to stay inside this world, but when you are with the crew, on the outside, you are in the dirt, working through all the issues. It’s just a different way of working, and I think I preferred it.

You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don’t seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.

I don’t see anything that’s come out on WikiLeaks that was a legitimate secret.

There’s different kinds of laughs. It’s like a baseball lineup: this guy’s your power hitter, this guy gets on base, this guy works out walks. If everybody does their job, we’re gonna win.

I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person. It’s a pretty good test.

The thing that motivates me is a very common form of motivation. And that is, with other folks counting on me, it’s so easy to be motivated.
