“Slow down and remember this: Most things make no difference.”

If you are insecure, guess what? The rest of the world is, too.

It isn’t enough to think outside the box. Thinking is passive. Get used to acting outside the box.

Being selective-doing less-is the path of the productive. Focus on the important few and ignore the rest.

For all their bitching about what’s holding them back, most people have a lot of trouble coming up with the defined dreams they’re being held from.

Do not overestimate the competition and underestimate yourself. You are better than you think.

There are certain things I will automate, but when it comes to quality control, I want to keep a very close eye.

A goal without real consequences is wishful thinking. Good follow-through doesn’t depend on the right intentions. It depends on the right incentives.

Most people can do absolutely awe-inspiring things. Sometimes they just need a little nudge.

Poisonous people do not deserve your time. To think otherwise is masochistic.

We will all profit from a more diverse, inclusive society, understanding, accommodating, even celebrating our differences, while pulling together for the common good.

I was lucky to be in the right place at the right time. But many others were also in the same place. The difference was that I took action.

The difference between Los Angeles and yogurt is that yogurt comes with less fruit.

Many people today attempt to draw differences between communism and socialism – there are none.

Find the person who will love you because of your differences and not in spite of them and you have found a lover for life.

The price good men pay for indifference to public affairs is to be ruled by evil men.

Life’s a test, mistakes are lessons, but the gift of life is knowing that you have made a difference.

The difference between what we do and what we are capable of doing would suffice to solve most of the world’s problems.
