Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.

I don’t like to see a president who is just out campaigning all year long or for the last four years. I’d like to see somebody who’s going in the office. In fact, I’d like to not see them because that way you’d be sure that they’d be working.

When individual members of the team are highly disciplined, they can be trusted and, therefore, allowed to operate with very little oversight.

Whatever you want to do, if you want to be great at it, you have to love it and be able to make sacrifices for it.

Order without liberty and liberty without order are equally destructive.

I have in sincerity pledged myself to your service, as so many of you are pledged to mine. Throughout all my life and with all my heart I shall strive to be worthy of your trust.

To be recognized for the hard work my team and I put into ‚Starboy‘ is an honor.

Human progress is neither automatic nor inevitable… Every step toward the goal of justice requires sacrifice, suffering, and struggle; the tireless exertions and passionate concern of dedicated individuals.

The pay is good and I can walk to work.

When I feel I’m doing too much, I do less if I can.

It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg, but with two it will be able to walk and get around.

I focus on my own job.

I’m in a rare position where I don’t have to do job after job. I can take time when my family needs it.

When you stand for something, you’ve got to stand for it all the way, not half way.

No matter what time it is, wake me, even if it’s in the middle of a Cabinet meeting.

If I could, I would not do anything else. I’d just be in the studio for my whole life. I would never go to parties, events, and red carpets. I would rather just be in the studio for the whole time. I don’t even care. Nobody has to know what I look like. I just want to make music.

The PC has improved the world in just about every area you can think of. Amazing developments in communications, collaboration and efficiencies. New kinds of entertainment and social media. Access to information and the ability to give a voice people who would never have been heard.

I have this feeling that the world is not in balance. And people are afraid, but we’re also starting to be really brave.

It is my desire, in the office of a Christian minister, to do nothing which I cannot do with my whole heart. Having said this, I have said all.

I explain the law of compensation like this: ‚Returns are minimal in spite of massive effort at the start, yet returns can be massive with minimal effort over time.

No man is worth his salt who is not ready at all times to risk his well-being, to risk his body, to risk his life, in a great cause.

I have worked ever since I was 13.

It’s very rare that you get a director that lets you be creative and bring what you feel your character should do or should be.

He is a hard man who is only just, and a sad one who is only wise.

If you love something – and there are things that I love – you do want more and more and more of it, but that’s not the way to produce good work. So as an author, I need to write what I need to write.

My dream is to continue filming until my body tells me to stop.

The superfluous, a very necessary thing.

Most employees only want to know how much they get paid and how much time off they get – they probably don’t have the mission in their souls.

There is more to life than increasing its speed.

People have been fed this diet of pabulum, rights, and impulsive freedom. There’s just an absolute starvation for the other side of the story.

It’s very important that we re-learn the art of resting and relaxing. Not only does it help prevent the onset of many illnesses that develop through chronic tension and worrying; it allows us to clear our minds, focus, and find creative solutions to problems.

If I have seen further than others, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants.

Oh, yes; you Virginians shed barrels of perspiration while standing off at a distance and superintending the work your slaves do for you. It is different with us. Here it is every fellow for himself, or he doesn’t get there.

What we achieve individually is important but it’s never ever more than the team does.

We’re African-American and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.

I sincerely hope I can contribute to the progress there has been in relations between Jews and Catholics since the Second Vatican Council in a spirit of renewed collaboration.

I’ve had some ‚riotous excursions of the human spirit‘ alongside the young Sailors and Marines, and it’s time to leave the stage to the young leaders who got their rank the old-fashioned way – they earned their stripes in combat.

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

If you want to occupy the C-suite or the top one-tenth of 1% in any organization, you have to be obsessively devoted to your career at the expense of everything else. And women look at that, and they think, ‚No.‘

Through the right people focusing on the right things, we can, in time, get on top of a lot if not most of the problems of this world. And that’s what a number of us are trying to do.

I’m not the smartest fellow in the world, but I can sure pick smart colleagues.

In a very real sense, it will not be one man going to the moon it will be an entire nation. For all of us must work to put him there.

Commitment is an act, not a word.

I feel that sin and evil are the negative part of you, and I think it’s like a battery: you’ve got to have the negative and the positive in order to be a complete person.

The average family spends 30 hours in front of a television, and they say they don’t have the time to have a balanced, integrated life.

Football 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.

I think the running game is very important to every offense. Being balanced is extremely important. There’s times where you have to throw the ball. You could be down late in the game, you need to come back; you have to be able to pass it when they know you’re passing it.

I’ve worked since I was a five-year-old to be a performer.

All in all, for someone who was immersed in, fascinated by, and dedicated to flight, I was disappointed by the wrinkle in history that had brought me along one generation late. I had missed all the great times and adventures in flight.

People who work for me know that family comes first. And I’m fortunate to have a family that is very supportive of the work I do, so I don’t have to live two separate lives.

If two smart, intelligent, clever guys sit together on a table, and you both want the same, where can be the problem? We all want to be successful.

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

I’ve thought sometimes about what I like about football, and it’s playing together.

I’m just writing, writing, writing. I keep these tablets on me until I’m inspired to go back in and make the music. I never take a break from my pen, because I pride myself on that.

I am confident that partnering my Dollywood Company with a great company like Gaylord will create something truly special.

You have to stay faithful to what you’re working on.

When you’re around kids you can be a little kid yourself and pretend that life is magic and you don’t have to be one of those sweaty people going to work every day.

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

Doing graphic novels is cool! It’s fun! You get to write something, and then see it visually page by page, panel by panel, working with the artist, you get to see it fleshed out.

She’s a total professional, a diva, a mega-star, not just in music but in the entertainment industry. You always learn from the greats, and J.Lo is one.

We 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.
