“Focus on impact, not approval. If you believe you can change the world, which I hope you do, do what you believe is right and expect resistance and expect attackers. Keep calm and carry on!”

For uncommon solutions, you have to look in uncommon places.

There is always more information than attention.

Creating demand is hard. Filling demand is easier. Don’t create a product, then seek someone to sell it to. Find a market – define your customers – then find or develop a product for them.

Short, sweet, and to the point. Clear writing, and therefore clear commands, comes from clear thinking. Think simple.

Being able to quit things that don’t work is integral to being a winner.

Emphasize strengths, don’t fix weaknesses.

Ninety-nine percent of people believe they can’t do great things, so they aim for mediocrity.

Slowing down doesn’t mean accomplishing less; it means cutting out counterproductive distractions and the perception of being rushed.

The only rules and limits are those we set for ourselves.

Learn to ask, “If this is the only thing I accomplish today, will I be satisfied with my day?”

The best way to counter-attack a hater is to make it blatantly obvious that their attack has had no impact on you.

Believe it or not, it is not only possible to accomplish more by doing less, it is mandatory. Enter the world of elimination.

Dreamlining is so named because it applies timelines to what most would consider dreams.

Exercise is overrated.

If you don’t have time, the truth is, you don’t have priorities. Think harder; don’t work harder.

Lack of time is actually lack of priorities.

My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care?

If what the heart approves conforms to proper patterns, then even if one’s desires are many, what harm would they be to good order?

My manner of thinking, so you say, cannot be approved. Do you suppose I care? A poor fool indeed is he who adopts a manner of thinking for others!

I cannot help thinking that there is something to admire in everyone, even if you do not approve of them.

The teachers at my school were quite often card-carrying members of the Labour Party and it just was not part of the culture to approve of what the government was doing.

I’ve never had anyone’s approval, so I’ve learned to live without it.

I have smuggled so many ingredients across so many borders, like shallot confit from Thailand, or a new sauce from New Orleans not approved by the FDA.

Bloodletting on my premises that I ain’t approved I take as a f***ing affront. It puts me off my feed.
