You forget how I talked when you first met me. I have learned a new language since then. Before that time I talked as that girl talks. Now I can manage to make myself understood sufficiently in your language to explain that you do not know that other girl’s language.

When you’re struggling hard to manage your own emotions, it becomes unbearable to have to witness other people’s, to have to try and manage theirs too.

But if we can manage it so people don’t have things forced on them that they don’t want, I think there’s every reason to believe things can settle out in a situation that is recognizably better than the one we’re stuck in today.

I’m really into fashion, but I don’t really spend that much on clothes. I manage to find everything I want at a good price.

Let sovereignty be granted us over a portion of the earth’s surface large enough to satisfy our rightful requirements as a nation. The rest we shall manage for ourselves.

Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world

But life isn’t hard to manage when you’ve nothing to lose.

If we manage to last in spite of everything, it is because our infirmities are so many and so contradictory that they cancel each other out.

A recurrent crisis should always have been foreseen. It can therefore either be prevented or reduced to a routine which clerks can manage. The definition of a “routine” is that it makes unskilled people without judgment capable of doing what it took near-genius to do before; for a routine puts down in systematic, step-by-step form what a very able man learned in surmounting yesterday’s crisis. The recurrent crisis is not confined to the lower levels of an organization. It afflicts everyone.

Any existing organization, whether a business, a church, a labor union, or a hospital, goes down fast if it does not innovate. Conversely, any new organization, whether a business, a church, a labor union, or a hospital, collapses if it does not manage. Not to innovate is the single largest reason for the decline of existing organizations. Not to know how to manage is the single largest reason for the failure of new ventures.

Management and entrepreneurship are only two different dimensions of the same task. An entrepreneur who does not learn how to manage will not last long. A management that does not learn to innovate will not last long.

I no longer think that learning how to manage people, especially subordinates, is the most important for executives to learn. I am teaching above all else, how to manage oneself.

If you want to improve how you manage time – stop doing what doesn’t need to be done!

The talk you hear about adapting to change is not only stupid, it’s dangerous. The only way you can manage change is to create it.

The need to manage oneself is creating a revolution in human affairs.

In the knowledge economy everyone is a volunteer, but we have trained our managers to manage conscripts.

One does not “manage” people. The task is to lead people.

The most effective way to manage change is to create it.

One cannot manage change. One can only be ahead of it.

Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.

You can’t manage what you don’t measure.

To manage men one ought to have a sharp mind in a velvet sheath.

They broke it to me gently. The manager came up to me before a game and told me they didn’t allow visitors in the clubhouse.

It is indeed difficult to imagine how men who have entirely renounced the habit of managing their own affairs could be successful in choosing those who ought to lead them. It is impossible to believe that a liberal, energetic, and wise government can ever emerge from the ballots of a nation of servants.

A man is known by the company he keeps

Vanity can create a very cruel space for you if you don’t know how to manage it.
