Quotes:

'It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined, manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor... No meritorious act of a subordinate should escape his attention, even if the reward be only one word of approval. Conversely, he should not be blind to a single fault in any subordinate.'
View quotes by John Paul Jones

Human speech is like a cracked kettle on which we tap crude rhythms for bears to dance to, while we long to make music that will melt the stars (Madame Bovary)

When one is trying to do something beyond his known powers it is useless to seek the approval of friends. Friends are at their best in moments of defeat.
View quotes by Henry Miller

When an Italian says it's pasta I check under the sauce to make sure. They are innovators of the smokescreen.
View quotes by Sir Alex Ferguson

When men are easy in their circumstances, they are naturally enemies to innovations.
View quotes by Joseph Addison

Authors like cats because they are such quiet, lovable, wise creatures, and cats like authors for the same reasons.
View quotes by Robertson Davies

All censorships exist to prevent any one from challenging current conceptions and existing institutions. All progress is initiated by challenging current conceptions, and executed by supplanting existing institutions. Consequently the first condition of progress is the removal of censorships.
View quotes by George Bernard Shaw

The five essential entrepreneurial skills for success: Concentration, Discrimination, Organization, Innovation and Communication.
View quotes by Harold Geneen

There's no doubt about it, show business lures the people who didn't get enough love, attention, or approval early in life and have grown up to become bottomless, gaping vessels of terrifying, abject need. Please laugh.
View quotes by Dennis Miller

The objectives remain the same and indeed that has been made clear by the Prime Minister in a speech yesterday that the objectives are clear and the one about the removal of the Taliban is not something we have as a clear objective to implement but it is possible a consequence that will flow from the Taliban clearly giving protection to Bin Laden and the UN resolution made it absolutely clear that anyone that finds them in that position declares themselves an enemy and that clearly is a matter for these objectives.
View quotes by John Prescott

Great innovators and original thinkers and artists attract the wrath of mediocrities as lightning rods draw the flashes.
View quotes by Theodor Reik

Welcome to Bologna on Capital Gold for England versus San Marino with Tennent's Pilsner, brewed with Czechoslovakian yeast for that extra Pilsner taste and England are one down.
View quotes by Jonathan Pearce

Great innovations should not be forced on slender majorities.
View quotes by Thomas Jefferson

Applause that comes thundering with such force you might think the audience merely suffers the music as an excuse for its ovations.
View quotes by Alfred Jarry

What most people in our culture mean by being lovable is essentially a mixture between being popular and having sex appeal.
View quotes by Erich Fromm

He gains everyone's approval who mixes the pleasant with the useful.
View quotes by Horace

The two parties which divide the state, the party of Conservation and that of Innovation, are very old, and have disputed the possession of the world ever since it was made.
View quotes by Ralph Waldo Emerson

Nothing is more dangerous than a dogmatic worldview - nothing more constraining, more blinding to innovation, more destructive of openness to novelty.
View quotes by Stephen Jay Gould

To understand the mysteries of life you must look around and within. You will see patterns everywhere; patterns that seem to manifest themselves over and over again. These patterns exist intertwined within nature and man bridging the gap between the enigma of self and universe. You see them in spiraling galaxies and the Mandelbrot fractal of fossilized Ammonoidea; growing from the unknown to atoms to molecules to solar systems to galaxies to the paradoxical expanses of the universe with origins and destinations unknown; just like us in birth and death. The similarities of tree branches, rivers and blood veins. The power of cellular division and nuclear fission, the patterns of finger prints like endoplasmic reticulum, or a black opal's play of fire like the nebula of supernova. Moon shots are like protoplasmic lurches, while simple thoughts and observations of the nature around us take us beyond the unknown. The clues to the great mystery are all around us and deep within us.

Obviously everyone wants to be successful, but I want to be looked back on as being very innovative, very trusted and ethical and ultimately making a big difference in the world.

When you innovate, you've got to be prepared for everyone telling you you're nuts.
View quotes by Larry Ellison

Innovation distinguishes between a leader and a follower.
View quotes by Steve Jobs

To turn really interesting ideas and fledgling technologies into a company that can continue to innovate for years, it requires a lot of disciplines.
View quotes by Steve Jobs

I have yet to find the man, however exalted his station, who did not do better work and put forth greater effort under a spirit of approval than under a spirit of criticism.
View quotes by Charles Schwab

I hate playing her and I don't play if I'm on the court against her. It's her person and everything around her. It's not her game. It's not the tennis that's the problem. It's my mind. [on playing Anna Kournikova]

View quotes by Patty Schnyder

In the Russian papers today it said that I didn't respect her [Sharapova] as a player. I was really upset this morning.
