Haitian rice farmers are quite efficient, but they can’t compete with U.S. agribusiness that relies on a huge government subsidy, thanks to Ronald Reagan’s free market enthusiasms.

When I finish something, I want it out that day. Pop music is like the daily paper. Its got to be there then, not six months later.

It’s pretty hard to be efficient without being obnoxious.

My wife thinks she’s better than me at puzzles. I haven’t given in on that one yet.

If the battle for civilization comes down to the wimps versus the barbarians, the barbarians are going to win.

I don’t invest in ideas because ideas are a dime a dozen. I could steal the idea pretty quickly.

I certainly would not like to end up in a tie-up with Ms. Rousey.

God is not on the side of the big battalions, but on the side of those who shoot best.

It’s really annoying for me. That’s not what I’m playing for, to be the face of the NBA or to be this or that or to take LeBron’s throne or whatever.

Move fast and break things. Unless you are breaking stuff, you are not moving fast enough.

If you’re entering anything where there’s an existing marketplace, against large, entrenched competitors, then your product or service needs to be much better than theirs. It can’t be a little bit better, because then you put yourself in the shoes of the consumer… you’re always going to buy the trusted brand unless there’s a big difference.

There is always room for losers in the football business. They are the mother’s milk of gambling, and why not? Somebody has to do it, or there won’t be any winners.

You will never know the feeling of a driver when winning a race. The helmet hides feelings that cannot be understood.

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man.

As president, Reagan worked very well with Democrats to do big things. It is true that he worked to reduce the size of government and cut federal taxes and he eliminated many regulations, but he also raised taxes when necessary.

There is nothing more requisite in business than despatch.

Did you know there’s a difference between being busy and being fruitful? Did you ever stop to think that just being busy – running around in circles all day but not accomplishing anything – is the same as wasting your time? It’s frustrating to expend so much energy and time and not have any fruit from your effort!

The potential financial reward for building the ‚next Windows‘ is so great that there will never be a shortage of new technologies seeking to challenge it.

Ronald Reagan and Bill Clinton both had exceptional natural abilities. Nelson Rockefeller was very good statewide but never gained national traction.

For the record, our democracy is revered around the world. And free elections are the best way on Earth to choose our leaders. This is how we elected John F. Kennedy; Ronald Reagan; two George Bushes; Bill Clinton; and Barack Obama. It has worked for decades.

I had a soft-spot in my heart for Ronald Reagan, if only because he was a sportswriter in his youth.

I am proud to have been born in Iowa. Through the eyes of a ten-year-old boy, it was a place of adventure and daily discoveries – the wonder of the growing crops, the excitements of the harvest, the journeys to the woods for nuts and hunting, the joys of snowy winters, the comfort of the family fireside, of good food and tender care.

I don’t think people are going to switch over to bikes because it’s good for them or because it’s politically correct. They’re going to do it because it gets them from A to B faster.

I like to do things quickly because I’m easily bored.

Better three hours too soon than a minute too late.

Too much TV hurts movies.

My cash cows, the slick magazines, were put out of business by TV.

I was already on pole, then by half a second and then one second and I just kept going. Suddenly I was nearly two seconds faster than anybody else, including my team mate with the same car.

It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming.

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

I’m very much into making lists and breaking things apart into categories.

I enjoy competition. I enjoy challenges. If a challenge is in front of me and it appeals to me, I will go ahead and conquer it.

Two out of every five people on Earth today owe their lives to the higher crop outputs that fertilizer has made possible.

It may be the cock that crows, but it is the hen that lays the eggs.

The first time I used a simulator was in 2014 when I was competing in the Ginetta Junior Championship.

What is a farm but a mute gospel?

SpaceX has the potential of saving the U.S. government $1 billion a year. We are opposed to creating an entrenched monopoly with no realistic means for anyone to compete.

No race can prosper till it learns that there is as much dignity in tilling a field as in writing a poem.

Eight years ago, you may remember Hillary and I were rivals for the Democratic nomination. We battled for a year and a half. Let me tell you, it was tough, because Hillary was tough. I was worn out. She was doing everything I was doing, but just like Ginger Rogers, it was backwards in heels.

I’m all for a good rivalry as long as lines are drawn.

Time is bunk.

I don’t have time to stand around and listen to an 11-minute song.

Time management is an oxymoron. Time is beyond our control, and the clock keeps ticking regardless of how we lead our lives. Priority management is the answer to maximizing the time we have.

Technological progress has merely provided us with more efficient means for going backwards.

To make America the greatest is my goal, so I beat the Russian and I beat the Pole. And for the U.S.A. won the medal of gold. The Greeks said, ‚You’re better than the Cassius of old.‘

I will fight in many weight divisions.

If you are a small company taking on a big company, you need to have a sense of humor.

Employ thy time well, if thou meanest to gain leisure.

Ronald Reagan used to alarm other constituencies by speaking freely about the End Times foreshadowed in the Bible.

The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.

Do your job. Do it the best you can. Do it right, because somebody, sometimes your best friend, is waiting for you to screw up so she can take your place.

I have been up against tough competition all my life. I wouldn’t know how to get along without it.

If I’d married someone in show business, there’d be too much competition.

Why go to a machine when you could go to a human being?

I’m trying to get to Mars before everyone else.

I won at every level – all the way since I started playing the game of basketball at nine. I’ve won at every level, won championships at every level. And, you know, it won’t be fulfilled until I win at the highest level.
