Always leave enough time in your life to do something that makes you happy, satisfied, even joyous. That has more of an effect on economic well-being than any other single factor.

The promise of business is to increase the general well-being of humankind through service, a creative invention and ethical philosophy.

Luck is earned. Luck is working so hard at your craft, service or enterprise that sooner or later you get a break.

We are now heading down a centuries-long path toward increasing the productivity of our natural capital - the resource systems upon which we depend to live - instead of our human capital.

If everyone thinks you have a good idea, you´re too late

You can blame people who knock things over in the dark or you can begin to light candles. You're only at fault if you know about the problem and choose to do nothing.

Don't be put off by people who know what is not possible. Do what needs to be done, and check to see if it was impossible only after you are done.
