Superstition is the poesy of practical life; hence, a poet is none the worse for being superstitious.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

There was a time when time did not yet exist.

Sexual relations, of course, have existed, exist, and will exist. However, this is in no way connected with the indispensability of the existence of the family.

Entrepreneurs need to listen. They don't need to be good listeners (although it can only help) but they need to know when to listen.

I think when you talk about competing against others, the problem is that you refer to something that's been done already and try to beat it.
