We are all Michaelangelos.

Leaders don't create followers, they create more leaders.

The magic formula that successful businesses have discovered is to treat customers like guests and employees like people.

If a window of opportunity appears, don't pull down the shade.

The greatest difficulty in the world is not for people to accept new ideas, but to make them forget old ideas.

The leaders who work most effectively, it seems to me, never say 'I'. They don't think 'I'. They think 'we'; they think 'team'.

Celebrate what you want to see more of.

Excellence is not an aspiration. Excellence is what you do in the next five minutes.

Divas do it, golfers do it, pilots do it, violists do it, sprinters do it, soldiers do it, surgeons do it, astronauts do it...only business people think it isn't necessary to train.

The thing that keeps a business ahead of the competition is excellence in execution.

Stop being conned by the old mantra that says, 'Leaders are cool, managers are dweebs.' Instead, follow the Peters Principle: Leaders are cool. Managers are cool too!

One's first book kiss home run is always the best.

One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.

An accepted deed is never small in Taqwa (consciousness of Allah), how can what has been accepted be small?

After all, I think, isn't it always about a boy?

I wouldn’t have a career if it weren’t for independent bookstores.

Those who trespass in others' souls will always get burned in the end.

I'm really confident. I had a perfect childhood. I had perfect parents and grandparents. They just love me, simply. So I have no fears.

The problem now is (that) the foods of poor quality are the ones coming in from home from teachers and staff, used for birthday parties and for things like booster sales.

You've got to take the bitter with the sour.

Love set you going like a fat gold watch. The midwife slapped your footsoles, and your bald cry Took its place among the elements.
