A market is never saturated with a good product, but it is very quickly saturated with a bad one.

I will fight in many weight divisions.

Man is supposed to be the maker of his destiny. It is only partly true. He can make his destiny, only in so far as he is allowed by the Great Power.

I have a scheme for stopping war. It’s this – no nation is allowed to enter a war till they have paid for the last one.

The more players I have, the more difficult choices there are for me, but the better it is for LFC.

All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.

We all hoped in 2001 that we could put in place an Afghan government under President Karzai that would be able to control the country, make sure al-Qaeda didn’t come back, and make sure the Taliban wasn’t resurging. It didn’t work out.

The many questions about the bombing of Yugoslavia by the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation – meaning primarily the United States – come down to two fundamental issues: ‚What are the accepted and applicable ‚rules of world order,‘ and how do these apply in the case of Kosovo?‘

As more airlines consolidated and grew larger and more focused on the bottom line, flying in the U.S. became an awful experience. Despite moves to block our airline from flying, Virgin America began service in August 2007 – with the goal of making flying good again.

I really don’t pay attention to the outside world when I’m incarcerated, because being in prison is like being in a different world. So I don’t pay attention to what’s going on outside of jail, because it’s all beyond my control.

March is a month without mercy for rabid basketball fans. There is no such thing as a ‚gentleman gambler‘ when the Big Dance rolls around. All sheep will be fleeced, all fools will be punished severely… There are no Rules when the deal goes down in the final weeks of March. Even your good friends will turn into monsters.

Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey ‚people.‘ People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war… Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest.

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.

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 can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.

In remembering the appalling suffering of war on both sides, we recognise how precious is the peace we have built in Europe since 1945.

When I started Virgin from a basement in west London, there was no great plan or strategy. I didn’t set out to build a business empire… For me, building a business is all about doing something to be proud of, bringing talented people together and creating something that’s going to make a real difference to other people’s lives.

When we are thinking about stuff like embeds, we are not thinking about how we are competing with YouTube. We are thinking about how are we going to make it more useful for people to share stuff on Facebook.

Modern education has devoted itself to the teaching of impudence, and then we complain that we can no longer control our mobs.

You must not fight too often with one enemy, or you will teach him all your art of war.

I think you should always bear in mind that entropy is not on your side.

I’m a fighter, I’m a winner, and I’m not interested in just battling my team-mate for the back of the grid.

When I was playing, there were always lots of teams in contention for the league – Arsenal, Manchester City, Liverpool, Leeds. Every week was a big game and a big battle.

Often people become our friend or follower with an undercurrent of resentment in our having more success than they have. They secretly desire the opportunity to take us down a notch; they have a nose for any misstep on our part they can exploit.

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

When the external factors over which one has no control in a way start to become negative, it starts to affect our creative juices.

It’s always interesting about God because it’s like all of the religions in the world say that they pray to the same God, and yet they ask that same one God to divide itself up and agree with this one and fight against that one.

Men rise from one ambition to another: first, they seek to secure themselves against attack, and then they attack others.

The strongest and most effective force in guaranteeing the long-term maintenance of power is not violence in all the forms deployed by the dominant to control the dominated, but consent in all the forms in which the dominated acquiesce in their own domination.

Patriotism is the willingness to kill and be killed for trivial reasons.

It is a fine game to play – the game of politics – and it is well worth waiting for a good hand before really plunging.

I was so used to going out and winning state championships and playing in the postseason.

My business is to prevent the future.

Any man can call time out, but no man can say how long the time out will be.

This was not an act of terrorism, but it was an act of war.

If you have to control people, you have to have an administrative force that does it. So in U.S. industry, even more than elsewhere, there’s layer after layer of management – a kind of economic waste, but useful for control and domination. And the same is true in universities.

The atomic bomb certainly is the most powerful of all weapons, but it is conclusively powerful and effective only in the hands of the nation which controls the sky.

Daring ideas are like chessmen moved forward; they may be beaten, but they may start a winning game.

War does not determine who is right – only who is left.

There are good examples of companies – Coca-Cola is one – that invested before there was a huge market in countries, and I think that ended up playing out to their benefit for decades to come.
