Some of my unhappiest moments have been in organizations. Somehow it seems to be quite respectable to do things in organizations that you would never do in private life. I have had people insult me to my face in front of colleagues. I have had my feelings rammed down my throat on the pretext that it would do me good. I have been required to do things which I didn't agree with because the organization wished it... In my worst moments I have thought organizations were places designed to be run by sadists and staffed by masochists.

You have to stand outside the box to see how the box can be re-designed.

The market is a mechanism for sorting the efficient from the inefficient, it is not a substitute for responsibility.

The sobering thought is that individuals and societies are not, in the end, remembered for how they made their money, but for how they spent it.

If there is one general law of communication it is that we never communicate as effectively as we think we do.

We are all prisoners of our past. It is hard to think of things except in the way we have always thought of them. But that solves no problems and seldom changes anything.

The moment will arrive when you are comfortable with who you are, and what you are- bald or old or fat or poor, successful or struggling- when you don't feel the need to apologize for anything or to deny anything. To be comfortable in your own skin is the beginning of strength.
