Aquele que tenta reformar o seu próximo não deve cultivar nunca uma grande amizade com ele antes do objetivo ter sido atingido.

Um amigo se faz rapidamente; já a amizade é um fruto que amadurece lentamente.

Não se pode ir longe na amizade sem se estar disposto a perdoar os pequenos defeitos um ao outro.

A amizade mais perfeita e mais durável é somente aquela que contraímos com o nosso interesse.

A amizade e a lealdade residem numa identidade de almas raramente encontrada.

A amizade não se busca, não se sonha, não se deseja; ela exerce-se (é uma virtude).

O negócio pode trazer dinheiro, mas a amizade raramente o faz.

Não há solidão mais triste do que a do homem sem amizades. A falta de amigos faz com que o mundo pareça um deserto.

A verdadeira amizade pode basear-se somente na união de modos de ser semelhantes.

Só existe uma coisa melhor do que fazer novos amigos: conservar os velhos.

Nenhum gesto de amizade, por muito insignificante que seja, é desperdiçado.

Quem cedo e bem aprende, tarde ou nunca esquece. Quem negligencia as manifestações de amizade, acaba por perder esse sentimento.

Cada novo amigo que ganhamos no decorrer da vida aperfeiçoa-nos e enriquece-nos, não tanto pelo que nos dá, mas pelo que nos revela de nós mesmos.

A amizade é uma predisposição recíproca que torna dois seres igualmente ciosos da felicidade um do outro.

O amigo é a resposta aos teus desejos. Mas não o procures para matar o tempo! Procura-o sempre para as horas vivas. Porque ele deve preencher a tua necessidade, mas não o teu vazio.

Amizade é quando você encontra uma pessoa que olha na mesma direção que você, compartilha a vida contigo e te respeita como você é!

O silêncio é o espaço que envolve toda a ação e vida em comum. A amizade não precisa de palavras: é a solidão livre da angústia da solidão.

A verdadeira amizade é aquela que nos permite falar, ao amigo, de todos os seus defeitos e de todas as nossas qualidades.

Pode ser que um dia deixemos de nos falar... Mas, enquanto houver amizade, Faremos as pazes de novo.

Quem afasta a amizade da vida parece que arranca o sol do mundo, pois os deuses imortais não nos deram nada melhor nem mais doce.

We control the machine. At one point the machine controlled us.

Like, to do a pilot, you don't know what's going to happen with it.

My sense is that we're ready for another industrial revolution in this country. The great minds and innovators of Silicon Valley would come through China and say, The pipeline is full of ideas - there's personalized medicine, biotechnology, new forms to power ourselves, clean energy, etc., etc.

For every five well-adjusted and smoothly functioning Americans, there are two who never had the chance to discover themselves. It may well be because they have never been alone with themselves.

You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership.

I feel very strongly about contraception even though I know people say that, as a good Catholic girl, I shouldn't. But I disagree because I think one of the keys to women's progression in the 20th century is being able to control their fertility.

Twitter is the ultimate service for the mobile age - its simplification and constraint of the publishing medium to 140 characters is perfectly complementary to a mobile experience. People still need longer stuff, but they see the headline on Twitter or Facebook.

I would love to be a voice in this maelstrom of chaos and obsessive celebrity infatuation that says, 'Let's talk about something that matters'.

I learned hard lessons, and I've taken that lesson and it's helped me become a better business person and a better leader.

I'm not the type to lay out on the beach, but I do love to work out outside, and that can really take a toll on your skin!

Anybody can direct a picture once they know the fundamentals. Directing is not a mystery, it's not an art. The main thing about directing is: photograph the people's eyes.

Taste is one of the five senses, and the man who tells us with priggish pride that he does not care what he eats is merely boasting of his sad deficiency: he might as well be proud of being deaf or blind, or, owing to a perpetual cold in the head, of being devoid of the sense of smell.

Biography can be the most middle class of all forms the judgment of little people avenging themselves on the great.

Nowadays, saying what you really think can be a serious error since one risks being misunderstood.

A mother is the heart of the home.

My fans are all pretty cool, you know; I've never really seen anybody fighting on Twitter, no death threats, no harsh language, no gay slurs, nothing like that.

Hear reason, or she'll make you feel her.

When I was seven or eight, I was bought a fantastic book called 'The Movie Treasury of Horror Movies' by Alan G. Frank; it became my bible. It's packed full of the most amazing photos and is still fantastic to look at.

Throughout my years in business, I discovered something. I would always ask why you do things. The answers that I would invariably get are: 'Oh, that's just the way things are done around here.' Nobody knows why they do what they do. Nobody thinks very deeply about things in business.

I never need to go far if I need a reminder of how important Medicare and Social Security are to Missouri's seniors. My mom, Betty Anne, is one of millions for whom these services provide a reliable safety net. Across the country, these protections are an integral part of sustaining millions of seniors' health and dignity.

I am trying to do comedy on every single medium. I consider myself a public servant.

When I was a child, I probably should have been medicated about my obsession with The Spice Girls. I had the Buffalo shoes, a customised Baby Spice necklace - when I say custom-made, it was made out of plastic from the local mall - and a Union Jack dress.

I came from a home where everybody had a book.

We have to compete in a universe of 200 networks, so we have to carve out our own niche, and to me, that niche is just basic shoe-leather journalism with some good journalists at the helm you can trust as presenters.
