Vivienne WestwoodFor a man to conquer himself is the first and noblest of all victories.

Frank OceanI would as soon leave my son a curse as the almighty dollar.
Andrew CarnegieI had never been in charge of anything. I’d always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I’d never been in charge of an organization.
Dave GrohlAnd we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.

Richard BransonYou start to become successful, and everybody starts to drive your money train to the bank, and they’re not thinking anymore about what you want as an artist or if any of that even matters to you.

Lady GagaIf we don’t plant the right things, we will reap the wrong things. It goes without saying. And you don’t have to be, you know, a brilliant biochemist and you don’t have to have an IQ of 150. Just common sense tells you to be kind, ninny, fool. Be kind.
Maya AngelouThere are different ways to do innovation. You can plant a lot of seeds, not be committed to any particular one of them, but just see what grows. And this really isn’t how we’ve approached this. We go mission-first, then focus on the pieces we need and go deep on them and be committed to them.
Mark ZuckerbergBelieving in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.
Franz KafkaDo whatever you will, but first be such as are able to will.
Friedrich NietzscheIt is better to be the hammer than the anvil.
