Toda la gloria proviene de atreverse a comenzar.

Nadie puede volver atrás y comenzar de nuevo, pero cualquiera puede comenzar hoy mismo y hacer un nuevo final.

El fracaso es la oportunidad de comenzar de nuevo con más inteligencia.

No esperes a que las condiciones sean perfectas para empezar, es principio hace las condiciones perfectas.

Nunca se es demasiado viejo para establecer un nuevo objetivo, o para soñar un nuevo sueño.

El final de un trabajo o una relación puede parecer como la noche más oscura, pero no es más que la temporada de invierno. El tiempo de renovación y renacimiento que precede a la nueva plantación. El comienzo del gran ciclo siguiente.

Debemos estar dispuestos a deshacernos de la vida que hemos planeado, a fin de tener la vida que nos espera. La vieja piel debe ser derramada antes de que la nueva pueda salir.

Si debo comenzar en algún lado, aquí y ahora es el mejor lugar imaginable.

Un viaje de mil millas comienza con un solo paso.

Recrea tu vida, siempre, siempre. Quita las piedras, planta los rosales y haz dulces. Empieza de nuevo.

El comienzo es la parte más importante del trabajo.

¿Así que qué hacemos? Cualquier cosa. Alguna cosa. Mientras no nos quedemos sentados allí. Si lo arruinamos, empecemos de nuevo. Intenta algo más. Si esperamos hasta que hayamos satisfecho todas las incertidumbres, puede ser demasiado tarde.

It's nice to be in first place. But just because you're not on a winner doesn't mean you're a loser.

Therapy is often a matter of tipping the first domino.

Small issues are really just large ones that haven't been accorded the requisite attention.

By 'flat' I did not mean that the world is getting equal. I said that more people in more places can now compete, connect and collaborate with equal power and equal tools than ever before. That's why an Indian in Bangalore can take care of the office work of American doctors or read the X-rays of German hospitals.

Not only do the majority of senior women executives have sports in their background, they recognize that the behaviors and techniques learned through sports are critical to motivating teams and improving performance in a corporate environment.

I feel like women bond with other women in this nonverbal way, where they take on each other's gestures. You start dressing more like each other, you eat the same food... It's a way of expressing regard: I want to be like you. Which is flattering, but if you view it another way, terrifying.

The campaigns and the models in them create the fantasy around the brand. It has always been about having strong images. Without that, we could not have gone into all the categories we did. It really has been the foundation from where the house of Guess was built.

Remember, perspective can cause two people to look at the same thing and see two totally different things.

If your goal is anything but profitability - if it's to be big, or to grow fast, or to become a technology leader - you'll hit problems.

I won $100,000 in Vegas, which buys furniture for my beach house. That takes nerves. You can't think if I'm wrong I'll blow $30,000.

Most fledgling and mid-list writers are lucky to be offered a 4-figure sum and are not only expected to deliver copy that needs minimal editing but also take an active part in marketing and publicizing their work.

It is not about proving anything to the world. It is all about proving your capabilities to yourself and stretching your own boundaries.

Because cap and trade is enforced through the selling and trading of permits, it actually perpetuates the pollution it is supposed to eliminate.

When you say 'control freak' and 'OCD' and 'organized,' that suggests someone who's cold in nature, and I'm just not. Like, I'm really open when it comes to letting people in. But I just like my house to be neat, and I don't like to make big messes that would hurt people.

Those who have learned to walk on the threshold of the unknown worlds, by means of what are commonly termed par excellence the exact sciences, may then, with the fair white wings of imagination, hope to soar further into the unexplored amidst which we live.

It's okay to fail; it's not okay to quit.

Imagination is Reality Lite - a useful substitute when the real pleasure is inaccessible, too risky, or too much work.

Some of my biggest friends are big-time horse owners.
