There would be no idling in a co-operative workshop. Each workman, being an employer, has a spur to his own industry, and has a pecuniary reason for being watchful of the industry of his fellow workmen. ~Leland Stanford

A Swedish physicist can not discuss his work with fifty people unless he goes abroad. A Swedish economist can get opinions and instructions in his native language from thousands upon thousands of his fellow citizens. ~George Stigler
#quotes #george-stigler #sweden

Not only had my brother disappeared, but, and bear with me here, a part of my very being had gone with him. Stories about us could, from them on, be told from only one perspective. Memories could be told but not shared. ~John Corey Whaley

If you care about the people you work with then you work harder. ~Kristine Lilly

What is so real as the cry of a child? A rabbit's cry may be wilder but it has no soul. ~Sylvia Plath

A vacation is having nothing to do and all day to do it in. ~Robert Orben

It is method on "This is England;" it is. But it can't be method on every job because it just doesn't work for everything. ~Vicky McClure

I was sitting in the back room by myself when someone came in and said, "Mr. Zimmer, I have to take you down to the make up room." I told them that if anyone can help this face they deserve a bonus. ~Don Zimmer

Love's in need of love today, don't delay; send yours in right away. ~Stevie Wonder

My filmmaking education consisted of finding out what filmmakers I liked were watching, then seeing those films. I learned the technical stuff from books and magazines, and with the new technology you can watch entire movies accompanied by audio commentary from the director. You can learn more from John Sturges' audio track on the "Bad Day at Black Rock" laserdisc than you can in 20 years of film school. Film school is a complete con, because the information is there if you want it. ~Paul Thomas Anderson

I could have closed down bits of British Home Stores to make more money but it's not my style. I want to make my money as a retailer, not by putting people out of work. ~Philip Green
#quotes #philip-green #business

There will be many times in your lives; at school, and more particularly when you are a grown up; when people will distract or divert you from what needs to be done. You may even welcome the distraction. But if you use it as an excuse for not doing what you suppose to do, you can blame no one but yourself. If you truly wish to accomplish something, you should allow nothing to stop you, and chances are you'll succeed. ~Julie Andrews
#quotes #julie-andrews #action #distraction

When first starting to work with someone you try to get them in the same mindset that you were in when you were successful, and I realized the best thing you can ever do is realize that they are not you. They have a different persona and mindset, and you have to figure out what works best within your communication with that athlete.

I have my own voice and can focus only on that. I know what I like; I find my inspirations in so many other places than just online and bring that into my work. ~Hanneli Mustaparta

Well, you know it was so different from when you rehearsed. You're out there with your guitar and trying to get a sound, but it doesn't sound anything like what you expect! ~Jonathan Richman

Theatre is where my heart is. It is where I can do my best work. And even if I do films and TV, that is what I want to come back to. ~Kelly Reilly
#quotes #kelly-reilly #theatre

I'm happy quite a lot of the time. I've done far more than I ever thought I would have, so I'd be very hard-pressed to walk around miserable. ~Robert Smith

You can almost taste the pressure now. ~Vin Scully
#quotes #vin-scully #pressure

Innovating economies expand and develop. Economies that do not add new kinds of goods and services, but continue only to repeat old work, do not expand much nor do they, by definition, develop. ~Jane Jacobs
#quotes #jane-jacobs #society #innovation #economy

This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there is a layer of people who run everything. But we, we are just peasants. We do not understand what is going on, and we cannot do anything. ~Doris Lessing
#quotes #doris-lessing #world

The university's business is the conservation of useless knowledge; and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well, that society can not exist unless it goes on. ~Albert J. Nock
#quotes #albert-j-nock #society #knowledge

I note that some whom I greatly love and esteem, who are, in my judgment, among the very choicest of God's people, nevertheless, travel most of the way to heaven by night. ~Charles Spurgeon
#quotes #charles-spurgeon #people #god

Wherever you go becomes a part of you somehow. ~Anita Desai
#quotes #anita-desai #travel

Reality is not meant to be only creedal, though the creeds are important. Reality is to be experienced, and experienced on the basis of a restored relationship with God through that finished work of the Lord Jesus Christ on the cross. ~Francis Schaeffer
#quotes #francis-schaeffer #christianity

I find it shocking that anybody can be brought down in D.C. for gossip, ostensibly. I thought that was the coin of the realm there. That's like getting hit with lightning on a cloudless day. ~Dennis Miller
