Niklas Zennstrom

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.


Dale Carnegie

Thomas A. Edison

Friedrich August von Hayek

I believe that my children, who are young, will look back on the early years of the 21st century in rather the same way I look back on the middle of the 20th: as a time when seemingly respectable people supported discrimination against Americans simply because those Americans were different from themselves.


Jon Meacham

People from the most horrendous of childhoods can have good lives, but it comes down to a very seemingly simple word. 'Choice.'
