Two quarters doesn't make a trend, but it's a heck of a lot better than none.

In simple terms, we are aligning our business today with the way we believe future systems are going to be designed, acquired and maintained.

None of us is as smart as all of us.

We are moving toward a global economy. One way of approaching that is to pull the covers over your head. Another is to say: It may be more complicated - but that's the world I am going to live in, I might as well be good at it.

Our entire team is focused on managing this company for value - fixing or eliminating those operations that lessen value and expanding or adding those that enhance value.

I know a few different women who really enjoy fantasy football, but if it doesn't work out for them in a given season, it's not like they're going to go into a three-month funk. Whereas I know a lot of guys, myself included, who, if they have a bad season or if they lose a couple tough games, are just crushed.

Dont make excuses. Make things happen. Make changes. Then make history.

I don't live for my work. My life is my life. That's more important, and I think that helps my work.

It is time for corporate America to become 'the third pillar' of social change in our society, complementing the first two pillars of government and philanthropy. We need the entire private sector to begin committing itself not just to making profits, but to fulfilling higher and larger purposes by contributing to building a better world.

It takes a great deal of courage to stand up to your enemies but even more to stand up to your friends.

My car and my adding machine understand nothing: they are not in that line of business.

Unfortunately, most of the songs that I write I don't write them with guitar in mind. I just write it as a song and that was probably one of the ones that left an opening for it. The song's all right, I wouldn't choose to sing it now.

Hold on to your dreams of a better life and stay committed to striving to realize it.

One doesn't choose to become a writer. One is just born that way.

They are the three venues I wanted to box in - I wasn't really interested in Las Vegas and all of them places. The three I always said was Croke Park, United, and Madison Square Garden.

I made one rule for myself, and I really try to live it: Play music you love, with people you love, for people you love. If I can't be that kind of musician, I'll drive a cab.
