It says adult prison on the gates, not Hogwarts. Now, get in and say hi to your new housmate.
We can learn from IBM's successful history that you don't have to have the best product to become number one. You don't even have to have a good product.
Then there was the challenge to keep doing better and better, to fly the best test flight that anybody had ever flown. That led to my being recognized as one of the more experienced test pilots, and that led to the astronaut business.
We really need to put the best we have to offer within reach of our children. If we don't do that, we're going to get the generation we deserve.
I think about how best to live my grandmother's twin mantras that 'Life is not a dress rehearsal' and 'Life is not about what happens to you, but what you do with what happens to you.'
I think we're going to have some difficulty in front of us. I have absolutely no doubt the next three, four years Europe are going to be at best stagnation. We are preparing for tough times.
The best way to make money is to have more economic freedom, which is why we are one of the very few large companies that are consistently for it.
Our best theories are not only truer than common sense, they make more sense than common sense.

Actually, everything has been said in print... it's a battle of giants and it's something that Walt would say is none of your business - go right on and create the best you can.

In marketing I've seen only one strategy that can't miss - and that is to market to your best customers first, your best prospects second and the rest of the world last.
The best way to conduct research on a larger scale is to make sure everyone knows what everyone else is doing... The sooner the better - start talking to other people about what you're doing. Because that's what will stimulate things the fastest.

I know some people say it's not the best to work with your family, but I have never understood that because it's always worked so well for me.
