Remember, the greatest failure is not to try.

Number one, I absolutely love making chocolate chip cookies. I mean, it's fun. It's exciting. Beyond the fact that I love making them, I love eating them.

The important thing is not being afraid to take a chance. Remember, the greatest failure is to not try. Once you find something you love to do, be the best at doing it.

When you're taking care of the customer, you can never do too much. And there is no wrong way... if it comes from the heart.

I've never felt like I was in the cookie business. I've always been in a feel good feeling business. My job is to sell joy. My job is to sell happiness. My job is to sell an experience.

Good enough never is. Set your standards so high that even the flaws are considered excellent.

What I wanted was to be allowed to do the thing in the world that I did best - which I believed then and believe now is the greatest privilege there is. When I did that, success found me.

The greatest failure is not to try. Had I listened to all the people during the course of my life who said, "You can't. You'll fail. It won't work. You don't have...," I wouldn't be here today.

There are people out there who want to say yes. That gave me confidence to keep asking.

Thank God for the journey of life.

My husband says my toes are like Wall's cocktail sausages. He feels peckish whenever he sees them.

A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.

I'm not semi-retired, I'm just taking it easy.

As for style of writing, if one has anything to say, it drops from him simply and directly, as a stone falls to the ground.

I think people do want change, but we want to make sure that the change will actually help people. And that's why I reject the change agenda that Donald Trump has.

I am afraid that the pleasantness of an employment does not always evince its propriety.

[Manhattan School Of Music] were kind of just getting the jazz program up and going when I first started there. I was 17 in September of 1984 when I started there.

If we repeal Obamacare, it's the Wild West, and then you're gonna see the traditional manner and behavior of Washington kick into gear and start trying to craft something.

The ignorant torment themselves more than they do others.
