Having the support from everyone, the bosses, whoever within the team, definitely makes it much easier for me as a driver.

We allow no geniuses around our Studio.

Plant and your spouse plants with you; weed and you weed alone.

I’m different than most people. When I cross the finish line of a big race, I see that people are ecstatic, but I’m thinking about what I’m going to do tomorrow. It’s as if my journey is everlasting, and there is no finish line.

You know, you can only lead them from behind.

Synergy is better than my way or your way. It’s our way.

At Microsoft there are lots of brilliant ideas but the image is that they all come from the top – I’m afraid that’s not quite right.

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

What you are, you are by accident of birth; what I am, I am by myself. There are and will be a thousand princes; there is only one Beethoven.

One thing is certain in business. You and everyone around you will make mistakes.

Every man is more than just himself; he also represents the unique, the very special and always significant and remarkable point at which the world’s phenomena intersect, only once in this way, and never again.

Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.

All I can do is be me, whoever that is.

I’m just trying to be myself. I’m not trying to be anyone else.

I don’t have to be what you want me to be.

We had hundreds of thousands of people all dedicated to doing the perfect job, and I think they did about as well as anyone could ever have expected.

I’m very free-spirited.

When you realize who you live for, and who’s important to please, a lot of people will actually start living. I am never going to get caught up in that. I’m gonna look back on my life and say that I enjoyed it – and I lived it for me.

The greater intellect one has, the more originality one finds in men. Ordinary persons find no difference between men.

I’ve always kinda been a little outcast myself, a little oddball, doin‘ my thing, my own way. And it’s been hard for me to, to be accepted, certainly in the early years of my life.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

I want people to understand they have to live their own lives the way they want to and not just do what we do.

My job is to play quarterback, and I’m going to do that the best way I know how, because I owe that to my teammates regardless of who is out there on the field with me.

We allow our ignorance to prevail upon us and make us think we can survive alone, alone in patches, alone in groups, alone in races, even alone in genders.

Everybody looks like clones and the only people you notice are my age. I don’t notice anybody unless they look great, and every now and again they do, and they are usually 70.

Technology is just a tool. In terms of getting the kids working together and motivating them, the teacher is the most important.

Fashion is an imposition, a reign on freedom.

Our diversity is our strength. What a dull and pointless life it would be if everyone was the same.

Either you think, or else others have to think for you and take power from you, pervert and discipline your natural tastes, civilize and sterilize you.

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

We walk together, we move together, we think together, we resolve together, and together we take this country forward.

By the sole fact of his entering into ‚Thought,‘ man represents something entirely singular and absolutely unique in the field of our experience. On a single planet, there could not be more than one centre of emergence for reflexion.

All of us are in the same place, each with our own rooms, and we were allowed to do whatever we wanted. Which is totally different than college, where they manage your schedule for you. In the NBA, you’re on your own.

We can succeed only by concert. It is not, ‚Can any of us imagine better,‘ but, ‚Can we all do better?‘

I think people should feel encouraged to be themselves.

The supreme quality for leadership is unquestionably integrity. Without it, no real success is possible, no matter whether it is on a section gang, a football field, in an army, or in an office.

In bourgeois society capital is independent and has individuality, while the living person is dependent and has no individuality.

A company is a group organized to create a product or service, and it is only as good as its people and how excited they are about creating. I do want to recognize a ton of super-talented people. I just happen to be the face of the companies.

It is only a man’s own fundamental thoughts that have truth and life in them. For it is these that he really and completely understands. To read the thoughts of others is like taking the remains of someone else’s meal, like putting on the discarded clothes of a stranger.

The snow goose need not bathe to make itself white. Neither need you do anything but be yourself.

If you have fear, you are bound by tradition, you follow some leader or guru. When you are bound by tradition, when you are afraid of your husband or your wife, you lose your dignity as an individual human being.

There isn’t anybody that looks like me without clothes on.

There have been so many great players that I’ve played with, that I’ve played against over the years.

To become ‚unique,‘ the challenge is to fight the hardest battle which anyone can imagine until you reach your destination.

I’ve never lived my life in the opinion of others. I believe I’m a good person. I believe I’m a good mom. But that’s for my kids to decide, not for the world.

I think, team first. It allows me to succeed, it allows my team to succeed.

How could you have a soccer team if all were goalkeepers? How would it be an orchestra if all were French horns?

I don’t compare myself to anyone else; I don’t make comments about anyone else because they do what feels right for them, and that’s okay by me.

This soul, or life within us, by no means agrees with the life outside us. If one has the courage to ask her what she thinks, she is always saying the very opposite to what other people say.

Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.

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

My observation is that whenever one person is found adequate to the discharge of a duty… it is worse executed by two persons, and scarcely done at all if three or more are employed therein.

On this team, we’re all united in a common goal: to keep my job.

Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else’s opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation.

If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help… Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.

All of us, no matter how we look born into this world, feel something like the Hunchback. It doesn’t matter if you have a beautiful face or not.
