I was away from the front lines for a while this spring living with other troops and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.

There's no sense in going to a tournament if you don't believe that you can win it. And that is the belief I have always had. And that is not going to change.

For a change lady luck seemed to be smiling on me. Then again maybe the fickle wench was just lulling me into a false sense of security while she reached for a rock.

The only sense that is common in the long run is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.

Americans have so far put up with inequality because they felt they could change their status. They didn't mind others being rich as long as they had a path to move up as well. The American Dream is all about social mobility in a sense - the idea that anyone can make it.

Men may change their climate but they cannot change their nature. A man that goes out a fool cannot ride or sail himself into common sense.

I have always argued that change becomes stressful and overwhelming only when you've lost any sense of the constancy of your life. You need firm ground to stand on. From there you can deal with that change.

A sense of blessedness comes from a change of heart not from more blessings.

It is often when night looks darkest it is often before the fever breaks that one senses the gathering momentum for change when one feels that resurrection of hope in the midst of despair and apathy.

The world we see that seems so insane is the result of a belief system that is not working. To perceive the world differently we must be willing to change our belief system let the past slip away expand our sense of now and dissolve the fear in our minds.

The only way to make sense out of change is to plunge into it move with it and join the dance.

I will argue that in the literal sense the programmed computer understands what the car and the adding machine understand namely exactly nothing.

Mayors could never get away with the kind of nonsense that goes on in Washington. In our world you either picked up the trash or you didn't. You either moved an abandoned car or you didn't. You either filled a pothole or you didn't. That's what we do every day. And we know how to get this stuff done.

With all the hybrid stuff and things like that I think that's a fabulous direction to go with cars in that sense. As someone who grew up around muscle cars I'll never not be able to not love a muscle car. Not that I don't care about the environment that's not it. But I adore muscle cars.

It was 100 feet of 16 mm black-and-white film of a car coming to a stop sign and driving off. I had to decide how to frame and light it. It was magic. There was a sense of mystery.

Societies need rules that make no sense for individuals. For example it makes no difference whether a single car drives on the left or on the right. But it makes all the difference when there are many cars!

I've drunk Amazon's free Diet Coke. Nothing makes more sense to me than a company trying to make bookselling into a profitable business. I'm not anti-Amazon and I'm not pro-publishers either. I'm pro-books.

It never made sense to me that someone would achieve any kind of success in show business only to become a jerk.

Kids are brought into show business because they are cute and see truth and they're very bright. But there's a sense of doing it because you want the adults to be approving of you. You want to make them happy.

Design in its broadest sense is the enabler of the digital era - it's a process that creates order out of chaos that renders technology usable to business. Design means being good not just looking good.

In business you're the Chief Salesman. Create a sense of demand rather than waiting to have demand.

When I've gone back to work it's always with that sense of inevitability. That may be a complete delusion but it's the one that I need to get out of bed and go about my business. That sense that I can't avoid this thing. I better just get on with it.

I think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.

I feel lazy when I'm not working. I learned all my business sense from my dad. He always believed in me and I think the last thing he said to me before he passed away was 'I know you're gonna be OK. I'm not worried about you'.
