Jobs are a centuries-old concept created during the Industrial Revolution. Despite the reality that we’re now deep in the Information Age, many people are studying for, or working at, or clinging to the Industrial Age idea of a safe, secure job.

I started in action, and then I went to comedy school.

Acting is just a way of making a living, the family is life.

I’m not much of a math and science guy. I spent most of my time in school daydreaming and managed to turn it into a living.

Humanity at the centre of the primates, Homo sapiens, in humanity, is the end-product of a gradual work of creation, the successive sketches for which still surround us on every side.

I booked my first studio at like 12 or 13. Somewhere in that season of my life, singing along with the radio became me wanting to be on radio, you know.

We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.

The Make in India campaign has taken off and is backed with skill development. It is going to open new vistas for employment for the youth.

Once spirit was God, then it became man, and now it is even becoming mob.

Everywhere on Earth, at this moment, in the new spiritual atmosphere created by the appearance of the idea of evolution, there float, in a state of extreme mutual sensitivity, love of God and faith in the world: the two essential components of the Ultra-human.

Men do change, and change comes like a little wind that ruffles the curtains at dawn, and it comes like the stealthy perfume of wildflowers hidden in the grass.

Sometimes what works 40 years ago doesn’t work today.

To discover and know has always been a deep tendency of our nature. Can we not recognize it already in caveman?

Without doubt, machinery has greatly increased the number of well-to-do idlers.

People have asked me, ‚What would you have done if you hadn’t gone into the Army?‘ I’d say I’d probably be a bus driver. I don’t know.

Tourism provides employment to the poorest of the poor. Gram seller earns something, auto-rickshaw driver earns something, pakoda seller earns something, and tea seller also earns something.

I’ve enjoyed all the parts of my career.

We only have to look at ourselves to see how intelligent life might develop into something we wouldn’t want to meet.

No man can succeed in a line of endeavor which he does not like.

Start a part-time business and make as many mistakes as you possibly can while you still have your daytime job.

Before printing was discovered, a century was equal to a thousand years.

I think music is something that can, and should, be used to get you into different things because eventually what goes up must come down – we’re not going to be the number one group in the world forever – so you have to have something else to fall back on.

I’m here as a product of process of evolution, which doesn’t make very many exceptions. And which rates life relatively cheaply.

We can choose a future where we export more products and outsource fewer jobs. After a decade that was defined by what we bought and borrowed, we’re getting back to basics, and doing what America has always done best: We’re making things again.

Everything I have, my career, my success, my family, I owe to America.

I knew when my career was over. In 1965 my baseball card came out with no picture.

You want to play another kind of character in another genre, and it’s been something I’ve been trying to do if I can in the career so far, and it’s something I hope to continue because it’s interesting to me and you get to do different things as an actor.

In all my years of baseball, I have always expected to be traded. I never liked the idea.

Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind.

Most people work just hard enough not to get fired and get paid just enough money not to quit.

I think New York has evolved in my work just the way the city has.

Throughout my career, I learned plenty about war on the battlefield, but I learned even more about the importance of finding peace. And that is what the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. do: prevent the wars that we can avoid so that we fight only the ones we must.

I have an expression I use as I’ve gone around the world through my career: ‚You never tell another man or woman what’s in their interest. They know their interest better than you know their interest.‘

Hip-hop is ever changing but you’ll always have the pack. And you’ll always have those people who are separated from the pack.

Why should I be studying for a future that soon may not exist?

Doing music to pay bills is an uncomfortable situation. I never wanted to be in that situation.

Make crime pay. Become a lawyer.

Everyone must be proactive and do all they can to help themselves to stay employed.

It is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.

When people are connected, we can just do some great things. They have the opportunity to get access to jobs, education, health, communications. We have the opportunity to bring the people we care about closer to us. It really makes a big difference.

The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.

To me, the most important artists in my career are Arcangel and Balvin. Arcangel gave me the push, the respect in the streets.

Dance music is no longer a simple Donna Summer beat. It’s become a whole language that I find fascinating and exciting. Eventually, it will lose the dance tag and join the fore of rock.

People think because I’ve got some success, I’ve made it, but in my eyes it’s like, ‚How long has Jay Z been in the business? How many albums has he got?‘ Not that I’m trying to be Jay Z, but I am trying to be around for a long time.

The earth’s crust has not yet stopped heaving and plunging under our feet. Mountain ranges are still being thrust up on the horizon. Granites are still growing under the continental masses. Nor has the organic world ceased to produce new buds at the tips of its countless branches.

A ratio of failures is built into the process of writing. The wastebasket has evolved for a reason.

Extinction is the rule. Survival is the exception.

But does that mean that war and violence are inevitable? I would argue not because we have also evolved this amazingly sophisticated intellect, and we are capable of controlling our innate behavior a lot of the time.

Never get married in college; it’s hard to get a start if a prospective employer finds you’ve already made one mistake.

Fashion is made to become unfashionable.

I think the definition of a book is changing.

Building new roads and bridges creates jobs. Growing our exports creates jobs. Reforming our outdated tax system and our broken immigration system creates jobs.

In this knowledge-worker age, it’s now increasingly tied to doing well in school so you can get into better grad schools so you can get better jobs – so the pressure to do well is really high.

Man is a wingless animal with two feet and flat nails.

Man, unlike anything organic or inorganic in the universe, grows beyond his work, walks up the stairs of his concepts, emerges ahead of his accomplishments.

I believe that God’s dream is that we be successful in our careers, and that we be able to send our kids to college. I don’t mean that everyone is going to be rich, and I preach a lot on blooming where you’re planted. But I don’t have the mindset that money is a bad thing.

I did go to Wellesley, a women’s college. And I am of a kind of strange generation which is transitional in terms of women who wanted to go out and get jobs.

I was taught that the human brain was the crowning glory of evolution so far, but I think it’s a very poor scheme for survival.

Everyone enjoys doing the kind of work for which he is best suited.

I myself have been on my own and utterly independent since I graduated. I haven’t belonged to any company or any system. It isn’t easy to live like this in Japan.

I like policy. It’s why I decided to enter government. The other thing I like about government – you have good days, you have bad days, but you never have a boring day, and that’s important to me.
