If dogs could talk it would take a lot of the fun out of owning one.
Be courageous. It's one of the only places left uncrowded.
If you think you're too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
To succeed you have to believe in something with such a passion that it becomes a reality.
I believe in businesses where you engage in creative thinking, and where you form some of your deepest relationships. If it isn't about the production of the human spirit, we are in big trouble.

What I have learned is that people become motivated when you guide them to the source of their own power and when you make heroes out of employees who personify what you want to see in the organization.
If you do things well, do them better. Be daring, be first, be different, be just.
Of course, there's an alternative to terrorism: it's called justice.

Most of the time when I have met artists who have meant a lot to me, the experience has been well above expectation. People like Iggy, Lou Reed, Jerry Lee Lewis, Black Sabbath, Nick Cave, Hubert Selby Jr, Billy Gibbons, Al Pacino, John Lee Hooker, James Brown, Johnny Cash etc. have been really great to me.
