When they want to do a thing, in business of course, they must wait till there arises in their brains, somehow, a religious, or ethical, or scientific, or philosophic, concept that the thing is right. And then they go ahead and do it, unwitting that one of the weaknesses of the human mind is that the wish is parent to the thought.

The concept of monogamy is an inheritance of a medieval time, when family would carry the tradition of the name and certain privileges. It’s a way of organizing society, perhaps.

Theatricality is a concept. It’s not a specific language.

I opened up my rebuttal by explaining that there are only two types of theories: Those that divide the world into two types of theories, and those that do not.

The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, ‘What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?’ And, How does creativity apply across the board?

There’s a difference between solitude and loneliness. I can understand the concept of being a monk for a while.

Back when the concept of organ transplants qualified as science fiction, novelist Maurice Renard wrote a thriller called ‘Les Mains d’Orlac.’ Call it a bastard offspring of ‘Frankenstein;’ its plot revolved around the old theme of Science Giving Us Stuff We Shouldn’t Have – in this particular case, restoring severed body parts.

The concept of profit maximization is, in fact, meaningless.

The productivity of people requires continuous learning, as the Japanese have taught us. It requires adoption in the West of the specific Japanese Zen concept where one learns to do better what one already does well.

In fact, everything I do is about the conceptualizing and realization of a piece of work, whether it’s the recording or the performance side.

The East knew and to the present day knows only that One is Free; the Greek and the Roman world, that some are free; the German World knows that All are free. The first political form therefore which we observe in History, is Despotism, the second Democracy and Aristocracy, the third, Monarchy.

Everybody thinks the grass is greener on the other side. If you talk to most artists, they think they can play something, you know, “If I had stayed playing football in high school, if I had been doing basketball.” Everybody’s got their fantasies and thinks the grass is greener. It’s not. It’s not.

Cynical realism is the intelligent man’s best excuse for doing nothing in an intolerable situation

The first word Jesus used in His earthly ministry was repent. Repent means to change the way you’ve been conditioned to think, and I believe that is the only way we are going to see the impact of the original concepts and idea of God.

If you only have a hammer, you tend to see every problem as a nail.

Exile is more than a geographical concept. You can be an exile in your homeland, in your own house, in a room.

I’m an extremist so I’m either hated or loved. I think it’s down to when I first got to Formula One not always knowing what I was saying, saying things that mean one thing but people were taking the other way and then people don’t forget.

I think, therefore I am is the statement of an intellectual who underrates toothaches.

I understand you, and I shall not attempt to make you change your mind… I have told you what I think, and that is all. I shall remain your friend even if you act contrary to my convictions, and I shall help you even if I disagree with you.

The man hunched over his motorcycle can focus only on the present… he is caught in a fragment of time cut off from both the past and the future… he has no fear, because the source of fear is in the future, and a person freed of the future has nothing to fear.

True human goodness, in all its purity and freedom, can come to the fore only when its recipient has no power.

But when the strong were too weak to hurt the weak, the weak had to be strong enough to leave.

A man is responsible for his ignorance.

You can’t measure the mutual affection of two human beings by the number of words they exchange.

The only way to deal with this life is to find a way to laugh at it.

No, my friend, forget the lottery! Win or lose, it is the same, it is a kind of deadly game in which we can never guess the consequences.

Dogs do not have many advantages over people, but one of them is extremely important: euthanasia is not forbidden by law in their case.

The brain appears to possess a special area which we might call poetic memory and which records everything that charms or touches us.

Do not be afraid to ask for help.

The ultimate form of disrespect is to dismiss someone’s worth and value.

The fact is, with every friendship you make, and every bond of trust you establish, you are shaping the image of America projected to the rest of the world. That is so important. So when you study abroad, you’re actually helping to make America stronger.

So the next time we battle with our kids over those vegetables, or they refuse to join us for a walk to the park, the next time we struggle to change our schools or communities, we need to remind ourselves that parents everywhere are going through exactly the same thing. We have to remember that we’re all in this together.

It wasn’t so long ago that I was a working mom myself. And I know that sometimes, much as we all hate to admit it, it’s just easier to park the kids in front of the TV for a few hours, so we can pay the bills or do the laundry or just have some peace and quiet for a change.

You have to stay in school. You have to. You have to go to college. You have to get your degree. Because that’s the one thing people can’t take away from you is your education. And it is worth the investment.

When you’ve worked hard, and done well, and walked through that doorway of opportunity, you do not slam it shut behind you. You reach back and you give other folks the same chances that helped you succeed.

When a father puts in long hours at work, he’s praised for being dedicated and ambitious. But when a mother stays late at the office, she’s sometimes accused of being selfish, neglecting her kids.

First, think. Second, believe. Third, dream. And finally, dare.

The issues that cross a president’s desk are never easy. The easy questions don’t even get to the president.

The world might not have changed, but the way we thought about it, and our ability to work within it, had.

We need to start focusing on what matters — on how we feel and how we feel about ourselves.

Just do what works for you because there will always be someone who thinks differently.

You may not always have a comfortable life, and you will not always be able to solve all of the world’s problems at once, but don’t ever underestimate the importance you can have because history has shown us that courage can be contagious, and hope can take on a life of its own.

There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.

Success isn’t about how much money you make; it’s about the difference you make in people’s lives.

The most important thing is to keep your team as small as possible.

When I started Facebook from my dorm room in 2004, the idea that my roommates and I talked about all the time was a world that was more open.

Advertising works most effectively when it’s in line with what people are already trying to do.

In addition to building better products, a more open world will also encourage businesses to engage with their customers directly and authentically. More than four million businesses have Pages on Facebook that they use to have a dialogue with their customers. We expect this trend to grow as well.

My goal was never to make Facebook cool. I am not a cool person.

Our goal is not to build a platform; it’s to be cross all of them.

My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that – building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.

Our mission is to connect every person in the world. You don’t do that by having a service people pay for.

I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person. It’s a pretty good test.

The greatest successes come from having the freedom to fail

If you just work on stuff that you like and you’re passionate about, you don’t have to have a master plan with how things will play out.

When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.

There is a huge need and a huge opportunity to get everyone in the world connected, to give everyone a voice and to help transform society for the future. The scale of the technology and infrastructure that must be built is unprecedented, and we believe this is the most important problem we can focus on.

Ideas don’t come out fully formed , they only become clearer as you work on them . You just have to get started.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.

Facebook was not originally created to be a company. It was built to accomplish a social mission – to make the world more open and connected.

The question isn’t, ‘What do we want to know about people?’ It’s, ‘What do people want to tell about themselves?

This is a perverse thing, personally, but I would rather be in the cycle where people are underestimating us.

I just want to make sure that we’re pushing the envelope on all the things that we do.

Our mission is to make the world more open and connected.

Love is an endless horizon.

The heart’s geography is as vast as the sky.

Home is a scent on the breath of a breeze.

A land without myths is like a sky without stars.

My homeland is a book written in the language of the heart.

Our roots are deep, and our branches reach for the sky.

I will not be silenced; my words will echo through time.

Hope is the key to every locked door.

I am a poet; my words are my weapon.

I carry my homeland in my heart, wherever I go.

Nothing is more beautiful than the beauty of freedom.

When you lose, you get up, you make mistakes and you learn. And then you become a better player.

I am the lover and I am the beloved.

Nothing is lost in this world, except for seeds.

The sea is behind me. I am in front of myself.

I am one of those who burn with their wounds.

We are people with wings, lost among the birds.
