Startups are often very undercapitalised, but I found that to be very beneficial because it

forces you not to throw money at problems. Instead, you learn all the nuts and bolts of what you're doing and become an expert.
Jerry Greenfield

Any time you get into a presidential campaign and the stakes are so high, all candidates - they want to be in complete control whenever they can. And you can't blame them for that.
Bob Schieffer

You can't work in a steel mill and think small. Giant converters hundreds of feet high. Every night, the sky looked enormous. It was a torrent of flames - of fire. The place that Pittsburgh used to be had such scale.
Jack Gilbert

The process of editing is what I enjoy most - putting the pieces together and making sense out of them.
Christian Marclay

Over the last few years, the world has become a smaller and more integrated place with technology that is leveling the playing field like never before.
Ron Kind

It is time we passed a balanced budget amendment and return this government to limited spending.
Newt Gingrich

I think after the 2008 Olympics I wasn't really satisfied with the outcome, so I knew I had to change some things.
Ryan Lochte

You're safer in the race car than you are in cars going to and from the track.
Mario Andretti

The most difficult novel I have had to write in terms of just getting it done was The Vampire Lestat. It took a year to write.
Anne Rice

We need to walk into the future, no matter how unnerving, with open eyes if society is to keep pace with technology.
Lawrence M. Krauss

As I have discovered by examining my past, I started out as a child.

Coincidentally, so did my brother. My mother did not put all her eggs in one basket, so to speak: she gave me a younger brother named Russell, who taught me what was meant by 'survival of the fittest.' Bill Cosby There was a war crimes trial because an American prisoner had been shot trying to escape. He had obviously been recaptured and shot, and that violated the Geneva Convention. Charles Guggenheim He who reigns within himself and rules passions, desires, and fears is more than a king. John Milton Everyone confesses that exertion which brings out all the powers of body and mind is the best thing for us; but most people do all they can to get rid of it, and as a general rule nobody does much more than circumstances drive them to do. Harriet Beecher Stowe If that's the way the game is played, I don't want to play anymore. Joyce DeWitt

I was very lucky. Things happened, both bad and good, but I never got into

real, deep trouble. But it wore me down. By the time I was 18, I was done. I didn't want to live the life any more. I needed to develop past the point that busking takes you to. Madeleine Peyroux We wanted to be certain they didn't have a bigger deficit, and Kennedy agreed with me. Wilbur Mills If I'm in a slump, I ask myself for advice. Ichiro Suzuki A kingdom founded on injustice never lasts. Lucius Annaeus Seneca We gained his operational capabilities and he gained our marketing skills. Mercer Reynolds Innocence is like a dumb leper who has lost his bell, wandering the world, meaning no harm. Graham Greene Life is largely a matter of expectation. Horace

The purposes of the United States should not be doubted. The Security Council resolutions will

be enforced - the just demands of peace and security will be met - or action will be unavoidable. And a regime that has lost its legitimacy will also lose its power. Colin Powell I am emphatically against the privatization of Social Security. It is going to hurt millions of American women, American families and ultimately the whole country. Barbara Mikulski Science is the knowledge of consequences, and dependence of one fact upon another. Thomas Hobbes People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it. Unknown We talked about Tootsie, the idea in Tootsie is that a man becomes a better man for having been a woman. Sydney Pollack

I love building spaces: architecture, furniture, all of it, probably

more than fashion. The development procedure is more tactile. It's about space and form and it's something you can share with other people. Donna Karan What we have in us of the image of God is the love of truth and justice. Demosthenes There was no television, so the radio provided you with everything. Ruben Blades All the beasts in Howling Forest were safe in their caves, nests, and burrows. Michael Ende If I wasn't Bob Dylan, I'd probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself. Bob Dylan

You get to Hollywood and you are in the land of big money where they

don't like to see only one screenwriter's name. It's much better if you've got four or five. Nigel Kneale Many counties in Maryland are above the average unemployment rate for both Maryland and the United States. We need representation in Congress who will make creating jobs the No. 1 priority so the people of Maryland can get back to work. Andrew P. Harris I've been asked over the years to compile a list of desert-island discs. I couldn't do that. If I was trapped on a desert island, I don't think I'd want 10 songs to bring with me. John Lydon I hate flying. I don't like planes. I get really anxious. Lucy Hale The one thing I've always done is to try not to overcomplicate anything. Henry Thomas I just want to get on stage and sing and be happy. Ronnie Spector I think I'm actually more vulnerable than people imagine. Vincent Cassel I had a dream that I was awake and I woke up to find myself asleep. Stan Laurel The bigg...

It is very normal for people on the ground to look at somebody apparently walking

in midair and thinking first that person is crazy and thinking secondly that person risks his or her life. Philippe Petit To grow a tomato or a pepper and prepare a meal from your labor and care is primordially satisfying. Nell Newman I remember I made $22 a week doing dinner theater in Norfolk, Virginia. Back then, in the '70s, that was pretty good for a teenager, for a part-time job. Stephen Furst I don't do interviews at home any more because my wife doesn't like having her taste in interiors put through the mill. And I get annoyed when journalists make snide remarks about the annoyingly pretentious shops in the neighbourhood - because I hate them just as much. Sebastian Faulks You don't put your head above the parapet and become a personality if you're an illustrator - it's not part of it; it's not possible. You are a servant to the story. Robert Ingpen It's certainly not a shock to find that the industry has no imagination. I think pe...

Social injustice is what puts Scotland at its greatest disadvantage, and restoring the 50p tax

rate will start to fight that. Johann Lamont Actors are the flowers of the film, of the set, and of the director. The term 'Flowers of the Screen' holds a deep meaning. Kim Jee-woon Our father has always been very passionate about taekwondo. In all honesty, we were forced into it without a choice. He would train us every other night at home, so we would always be perfecting our technique. Caroline Marton My love can't be purchased... Best gifts have been well-thought-out surprises. Nina Dobrev For me, baseball just brings up a lot of nostalgic, happy feelings because I enjoyed it as a kid, and I liked being out there playing in the sun, and it was a simpler time for all of us. Robert Lorenz I love being able to help promote Seattle to travelers worldwide. Tom Douglas It's a diabolical business. I can't imagine how hellish it must be to be hounded like Amy Winehouse and people like that. I have a little peripheral place on the outskirts of celebrity...

I've been in this business for a long while, but it's not like

I've been waiting tables. Since I started writing, I've only worked on things that I love. I've had a lot of heartbreak, but you don't become an artist and not expect that. Joss Whedon Exxon, one of the companies that has spent tens of millions of dollars denying climate change, denying any responsibility to deal with, taking government subsidies on a massive scale, now their ads are all about, 'Oh, we want a clean future. We're looking at clean energy and all that stuff.' David Suzuki Good generalship is the realisation that you've got to figure out how to accomplish your mission with the minimum loss of human life. Norman Schwarzkopf I needed a break, and going to culinary school turned a lightbulb on that I didn't have to make music. The people in the music business forget that not only is there an entire world of people out there who do not care what we do, we are not creating the wheel. Kelis In the old days you could do re-runs, and...

The economic dimension is very clear. I was at a dinner party, a mother got

up, who's a very distinguished scientist, and said she had to get home and help her daughter with her homework. The two waiters, their faces changed. They were working their second jobs, they couldn't get home to help their kids with homework. Donna Shalala The kind of doctor I want is one who when he's not examining me is home studying medicine. George S. Kaufman It is a wonderful thing to get married young and become a father. Benedict Cumberbatch Awareness has changed so that every act for children, every piece of legislation recognizes that children are part of families and that it is within families that children grow and thrive or don't. Bernice Weissbourd As a female pilot, the sacred rose garden in my heart is the motherland's blue sky. Liu Yang Fundamentals make the market. T. Boone Pickens I was always more interested in story songs, things with a point of view... and things that informed me. Nanci Griffith When I attained a certain advanced ...

Human knowledge has been changing from the word go and people in certain respects behave

more rationally than they did when they didn't have it. They spend less time doing rain dances and more time seeding clouds. Herbert Simon Don't let your fear paralyze you. Prepare yourself not only technically, but also emotionally. Bob Weinstein Though I weigh only 120 pounds, when I'm mad, I weigh a ton. Thomas Starr King A Bill of Rights is what the people are entitled to against every government, and what no just government should refuse, or rest on inference. Thomas Jefferson A government is the only vessel that leaks from the top. James Reston
