Successful organizations including the Military have learned that the higher the risk the more necessary it is to engage everyone's commitment and intelligence.

Skill is successfully walking a tightrope between the twin towers of New York's World Trade Center. Intelligence is not trying.

Success in almost any field depends more on energy and drive than it does on intelligence. This explains why we have so many stupid leaders.

The intelligent man is one who has successfully fulfilled many accomplishments and is yet willing to learn more.

Put your heart mind and soul into even your smallest acts. This is the secret of success.

Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage.

By going over your day in imagination before you begin it you can begin acting successfully at any moment.

A man to carry on a successful business must have imagination. He must see things as in a vision a dream of the whole thing.

I guess something that I've noticed from American acts who had success in touring is more of an explanation as to their music. Which is I think quite funny. I think British acts might like to leave more to the imagination - maybe a bit more obscure perhaps - a bit more shy.

Sometimes a technology is so awe-inspiring that the imagination runs away with it - often far far away from reality. Robots are like that. A lot of big and ultimately unfulfilled promises were made in robotics early on based on preliminary successes.

Without imagination we can go nowhere. And imagination is not restricted to the arts. Every scientist I have met who has been a success has had to imagine.

Dr. Einstein was not successful in school but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power and look what he did.

The level of our success is limited only by our imagination and no act of kindness however small is ever wasted.

I think that some books are more successful than others to certain readers. People who read my books for the humor they're going to love one book. People who read my books for the mystery they might not like that book quite as much.

I think I've learned that if you want to be successful you have to tell your story honestly and from your heart - and I think a healthy sense of humor doesn't hurt either.

We are really living the American dream to be a successful brand in the States and in Europe and to steep ourselves in our heritage. But we do it with a sense of humor. We don't take ourselves too seriously in fashion.

Humor has bailed me out of more tight situations than I can think of. If you go with your instincts and keep your humor creativity follows. With luck success comes too.

When I think about the world I would like to leave to my daughter and the grandchildren I hope to have it is a world that moves away from unequal unstable unsustainable interdependence to integrated communities - locally nationally and globally - that share the characteristics of all successful communities.

Hope... is the companion of power and the mother of success for who so hopes has within him the gift of miracles.

I hope to be involved in a successful movie script.

Obviously the easiest recipes are the most successful when it comes to the home cook because they're not intimidated by them. If I'm doing 'Boy Meets Grill ' and I do something very simple like grilled hamburgers or steaks or chicken those are the most sought-after recipes.

David Lee Roth had the idea that if you covered a successful song you were half way home. C'mon - Van Halen doing 'Dancing in the Streets'? It was stupid. I started feeling like I would rather bomb playing my own songs than be successful playing someone else's music.

I think that the reason for my success is that I am really not aspirational. I am inspirational in that the people at home feel like they can really relate to me.

The appreciative smile the chuckle the soundless mirth so important to the success of comedy cannot be understood unless one sits among the audience and feels the warmth created by the quality of laughter that the audience takes home with it.
