If this validates anything it's that learning how to bunt and hit and run and turning two is more important than knowing where to find the little red light at the dug out camera.

Bottom line is I didn't return to Apple to make a fortune. I've been very lucky in my life and already have one. When I was 25 my net worth was $100 million or so. I decided then that I wasn't going to let it ruin my life. There's no way you could ever spend it all and I don't view wealth as something that validates my intelligence.

I think the materialist conception of history is valid.

Two hundred years ago our Founding Fathers gave us a democracy. It was based upon the simple yet noble idea that government derives its validity from the consent of the governed.

The valid research for the future is on the inner side on the spiritual side.

I shall go further and say that even if an examination of the past could lead to any valid prediction concerning man's future that prediction would be the contrary of reassuring.

No valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

I understand a woman who validates herself by getting attention from the opposite sex. I have a friend who is that to a T... Doesn't mean she isn't a good person. That's a funny character to play.

No work or love will flourish out of guilt fear or hollowness of heart just as no valid plans for the future can be made by those who have no capacity for living now.

I love being famous. It validates that I have something to say.

When I'm writing I'm constantly thinking about myself because it's the only experience I have to draw on. And I don't see an exact reflection of myself in every face in the audience but I know that my songs have validity to them and that's why the fans are there.

What is truth? Truth doesn't really exist. Who is going to judge whether my experience of an incident is more valid than yours? No one can be trusted to be the judge of that.

I have a theory that the best ads come from personal experience. Some of the good ones I have done have really come out of the real experience of my life and somehow this has come over as true and valid and persuasive.

The only relevant test of the validity of a hypothesis is comparison of prediction with experience.

If merely 'feeling good' could decide drunkenness would be the supremely valid human experience.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

The Supreme Court of the United States... has validated the Nazi method of execution in... concentration camps starving them to death.

My dad used to say 'You have to become part of the machine to beat the machine ' and there's some validity in it. But honestly even when I'm inside the machine you still see me. I stick out a little bit.

Don't solicit feedback on your product idea or your business just for validation purposes. You want to tell the people who can help move your idea forward but if you're just looking to your friend co-worker husband or wife for validation be careful. It can stop a lot of multimillion-dollar ideas in their tracks in the beginning.

The common question that gets asked in business is 'why?' That's a good question but an equally valid question is 'why not?'

Avon invented the concept of direct marketing and direct selling beauty. And that's still very valid to us. We'll have a firm that will be around for another 114 years as strongly as it was the first 114.

I believe that history has shape order and meaning that exceptional men as much as economic forces produce change and that passe abstractions like beauty nobility and greatness have a shifting but continuing validity.

I don't need plastic in my body to validate me as a woman.
