If someone's criticism is completely unfounded on data, then I don't want to hear it. It doesn't hold up to scrutiny.

What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

If you don't have time, the truth is, you don't have priorities. Think harder; don't work harder.

It isn't enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

The way we measure productivity is flawed. People checking their BlackBerry over dinner is not the measure of productivity.

I'll repeat something you might consider tattooing on your forehead: What we fear doing most is usually what we most need to do.

That's precisely the question everyone should be asking-why the hell not? - Why not you, why not now.

Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference. Being busy is a form of mental laziness-lazy thinking and indiscriminate action.

Why don't we pay more attention to little children and be nice to each other.

I like being by the ocean.

I learned that hard work and self-discipline can overcome many obstacles.

High school wasn't a trial by fire or some ordeal that had to be survived. It was all a big joke. You just had to provide the laugh track.

Too much quiet left me depressed and consuming condiments for meals.

I know [canned music] makes chickens lay more eggs and factory workers produce more. But how much more can they get out of you on an elevator?

Beauty is as useful as the useful. More so, perhaps. (Le beau est aussi utile que l'utile. Plus peut-etre.)
