If no one is pissed-off with you then you are dead but just haven't figured it out yet.

Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.

The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

The greatest difficulty in the world is not for people to accept new ideas, but to make them forget old ideas.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we'; they think 'team'.

Celebrate what you want to see more of.

Excellence is not an aspiration. Excellence is what you do in the next five minutes.

Divas do it, golfers do it, pilots do it, violists do it, sprinters do it, soldiers do it, surgeons do it, astronauts do it...only business people think it isn't necessary to train.

The thing that keeps a business ahead of the competition is excellence in execution.

Stop being conned by the old mantra that says, 'Leaders are cool, managers are dweebs.' Instead, follow the Peters Principle: Leaders are cool. Managers are cool too!

A los mortales os hace falta compañía porque tenéis tristeza, deseos y un tiempo limitado de vida.

Bathtubs, pools, water - to me, it's a very essential part of being grounded and sensual and feeling yourself.

Thus, flexibility, as displayed by water, is a sign of life. Rigidity, its opposite, is an indicator of death.

I assure you my professions never go beyond my intentions.

What I hankered for was an account of knowledge which would do far more than get our intuitions about cases right; I wanted a kind of account which would somehow be explanatory.

You don't want to do something that's all terrifying.

A company is people … employees want to know… am I being listened to or am I a cog in the wheel? People really need to feel wanted.

When someone's really sick and their family is tired and concerned about what will take place, those are the times that they need a support group around them to take care of them as a human being.

Though I love the luxury of the Waldorf Towers, room service there doesn't do soul food.

If you follow your passion, you'll never work a day in your life.
