I can assure you that I have never used my media companies for propaganda, and I will never do so.
I come from a very critical culture. You know the Scots. They're always saying: 'Oh, no. It will never work. You'll never amount to anything. You've got to know your place in the world.'
I'm never sloppy, and I never wear jeans. I don't work one look in particular, but it's usually retro - I'm a flea-market freak. And detailed - I'm always very done, even at the gym.
Most of us who work as professional futurists never really stop gathering information - you never know when a provocative, potentially disruptive new development might appear.
I never had to say to myself, 'OK now, I've got to grow up and work for a bank, or go and sell real estate.' I never had to make that kind of break.
I never had a role that I set out for. I always wanted to have a body of work that I'm proud of. Save for two projects, which will never pass my lips, I'm happy with what I've done.
I never really have to sit at a desk thinking, 'What should I do now?' It doesn't work like that for me, and it never has. My thinking process is constant.
I feel sorry for the person who can't get genuinely excited about his work. Not only will he never be satisfied, but he will never achieve anything worthwhile.
I'm very inspired by him-it was my father who taught us that an immigrant must work twice as hard as anybody else, that he must never give up.
Let us never forget that terrorism at its heart, at its evil heart, is a psychological war. It endeavors to break the spirit and the resolve of those it attacks by creating a lose-lose situation.
He on whose head we would break a coconut never stands still.
A man cannot be a good physician if he has never been sick himself.
Good qualities never cancel out the bad, just as sugar is no antidote for poison.
If you have never seen evil, look closely at yourself some time.
Never celebrate someone's leaving, until you know who will succeed him.
A truly great man never puts away the simplicity of a child.
It never rains on your neighbors without you getting your feet wet.
Never be boastful; someone may come along who knew you as a child.
Never boast -- you might meet someone who knew you as a child.
Once bitten by an adder, you will never walk through the high grass again.
The human heart is never satisfied, just like the snake that wants to swallow an elephant.
