I make up my mind about whether I can trust someone within 60 seconds of meeting them

You don't learn to walk by following rules. You learn by doing, and by falling over.

The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.

Do not be embarrassed by your failures, learn from them and start again.

Train people well enough so they can leave, treat them well enough so they don't want to.

If you look after your staff, they'll look after your customers. It's that simple.

Listen more than you talk. Nobody learned anything by hearing themselves speak.

Business opportunities are like buses, there's always another one coming.

If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes-then learn how to do it later!

Never take your eyes off the cash flow because it's the life blood of business.

If people aren't calling you crazy, you aren't thinking big enough.

L'utilité du vivre n'est pas en l'espace: elle est en l'usage.

You miss a lot of a person’s life when you don’t keep in touch. Maybe that’s the point.

We all need to believe in something. It gives us a reason to get up in the morning. Something to fight for.

Many of us are frightened to look within ourselves, and fear has us put up walls so thick we no longer remember who we really are.

The fact is, we are leaky vessels, and we have to keep right under the fountain all the time to keep full of Christ, and so have fresh supply.

Filling a need is not merely good business; it's a basic attitude towards life. If you see a need, do whatever you can to meet that need.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more. Encouragement after censure is as the sun after a shower.

The subject of my work has a lot to do with general, artistic matters, questions like: What is creativity? Where do we come from? What are our motors? What is coincidence? What is logic?

It's too bad that it takes egregious behavior or some kind of crisis to get people to take notice and get clearer about things that were just below the surface.

You need to laugh more. Life is filled with too many problems, to not laugh every day... We need to have a sense of humor going into this because it's too tough without it.
