Innovation is the specific tool of entrepreneurs, the means by which they exploit change as an opportunity for a different business or a different service.

And they need to know and to apply the principles of successful innovation.

John Austin BakerIf that were God's plan, it's a bad bargain; I don't want to have to deal with a God like that...My sense is God and I came to an accommodation with each other a couple of decades ago, where he's gotten used to the things that I'm not capable of and I've come to terms with things he's not capable of...and we care very much about each other.
Harold S. KushnerPeople are complicated creatures. On the one hand, capable of great acts of charity, and on the other, capable of the most underhanded forms of betrayal.

The answer must be, Man - for we have no angels in the shape of men, as yet, who are willing to take charge of our political affairs.

Wesley ClarkThus if we know a child has had sufficient opportunity to observe and acquire a behavioral sequence, and we know he is physically capable of performing the act but does not do so, then it is reasonable to assume that it is motivation which is lacking.

LaoziIf God bestowed immortality on every man then when he made him, and he made many to whom he never purposed to give his saving grace, what did his Lordship think that God gave any man immortality with purpose only to make him capable of immortal torments?

Thomas HobbesTo be successful, a man must exert an effective influence upon his brothers and upon his associates, and the degree in which he accomplishes this depends on the personality of the man.

James LovelockI hope there will be no effort to put up a shaft or any monument of that sort in memory of me or of the other women who have giventhemselves to our work.

I would like to have lived to see such a school as that in every great city of the United States.
Susan B. AnthonyFirst of all, Greece won't go down. We're talking about a country that is capable of making change. Europe will not allow the destabilization of the 27-country euro zone.

Alexander SkarsgardWe just, you know, we're just sort of doing it like Bewitched, because we just think that the character of Kenny is so specific and so outrageous and so fun.

Debra Messing... A CLOCKWORK ORANGE- and I said: 'That's a fair gloopy title. Who ever heard of a clockwork orange?'

Konosuke MatsushitaA person of mature years and ripe development, who is expecting nothing from literature but the corroboration and renewal of past ideas, may find satisfaction in a lucidity so complete as to occasion no imaginative excitement, but young and ambitious students are not content with it.
