I'm obsessed with speed. I'm always asking myself, 'Why can't we do things faster? Why can't it happen more efficiently? Why is this requiring three meetings instead of one?'

Execute like there's no tomorrow, strategize like there will be.

Startups often win because it's easier to see what comes next when you don't have to worry about maintaining what came last.

We tend to forget that everything has an ending, so enjoy it while you can still see it around you.

Some of my ancestors fought in the American Revolution. A few more wore red coats, a few wore blue coats, and the rest wore no coats at all. We never did figure out who won that war.

A grandmaster needs to retain thousands of games in his head, for games are to him what the words of their mother tongue are to ordinary people, or notes or scores to musicians.

The charismatics confused the holy liturgy with a school of samba, but than I was converted when I got to know them better and saw the good they do.
