Correction does much, but encouragement does more.
As I get older I’m more and more comfortable being alone.
There is no man living that can not do more than he thinks he can.
Peace demands the most heroic labor and the most difficult sacrifice. It demands greater heroism than war. It demands greater fidelity to the truth and a much more perfect purity of conscience.
It is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.
Surround yourself with smart, dedicated people – to build something isn’t a one-man show. It’s more important to have smart people who really believe in what you’re doing than really experienced people who may not share your dream.
The more we elaborate our means of communication, the less we communicate.
That’s what keeps me going: dreaming, inventing, then hoping and dreaming some more in order to keep dreaming.
It was wonderful to find America, but it would have been more wonderful to miss it.
It is impossible to predict the time and progress of revolution. It is governed by its own more or less mysterious laws.
The world worries about disability more than disabled people do.
I’m a comeback waiting to happen. No one deserves it more than I do.
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.
If we take the generally accepted definition of bravery as a quality which knows no fear, I have never seen a brave man. All men are frightened. The more intelligent they are, the more they are frightened.
Do what you love, and do it well – that’s much more meaningful than any metric.
I like Kit-Kat, unless I’m with four or more people.
Older women know who they are, and that makes them more beautiful than younger ones. I like to see a face with some character. I want to see lines. I want to see wrinkles.
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.
A truly strong person does not need the approval of others any more than a lion needs the approval of sheep.
When the legends die, the dreams end; there is no more greatness.
Most of the successful people I’ve known are the ones who do more listening than talking.
Scars are a truly beautiful thing. Yes, they can be a little ugly on the outside, but scars show that you’re a survivor, that you made it through something, and not only did you make it through, but now you’re stronger and wiser and more educated because of that tough time that you went through.
I think self-discipline is something, it’s like a muscle. The more you exercise it, the stronger it gets.
It is more honorable to be raised to a throne than to be born to one. Fortune bestows the one, merit obtains the other.
Science is a way of thinking much more than it is a body of knowledge.
A man can no more diminish God’s glory by refusing to worship Him than a lunatic can put out the sun by scribbling the word, ‘darkness’ on the walls of his cell.
The more you know the less you need to say.
We will be more successful in all our endeavors if we can let go of the habit of running all the time, and take little pauses to relax and re-center ourselves. And we’ll also have a lot more joy in living.
One father is more than a hundred schoolmasters.
I can’t change my personality. I’ll always smile, but I’ll be more focused.
Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life-threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.
Talkers are usually more articulate than doers, since talk is their specialty.
Gender equality is more than a goal in itself. It is a precondition for meeting the challenge of reducing poverty, promoting sustainable development and building good governance.
Accounting does not make corporate earnings or balance sheets more volatile. Accounting just increases the transparency of volatility in earnings.
Death will be a great relief. No more interviews.
Severities should be dealt out all at once, so that their suddenness may give less offense; benefits ought to be handed ought drop by drop, so that they may be relished the more.
Nothing is cooler and more attractive than a big comeback, and that’ll be me.
The greater the difficulty the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.
It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
I’ve learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.
Young people are fitter to invent than to judge; fitter for execution than for counsel; and more fit for new projects than for settled business.
Solitude is painful when one is young, but delightful when one is more mature.
The future is no more uncertain than the present.
I love not man the less, but Nature more.
What can you do against the lunatic who is more intelligent than yourself, who gives your arguments a fair hearing and then simply persists in his lunacy?
There is no remedy for love but to love more.
We’re taught Lord Acton’s axiom: all power corrupts, absolute power corrupts absolutely. I believed that when I started these books, but I don’t believe it’s always true any more. Power doesn’t always corrupt. Power can cleanse. What I believe is always true about power is that power always reveals.
Investing should be more like watching paint dry or watching grass grow. If you want excitement, take $800 and go to Las Vegas.
You may have to fight a battle more than once to win it.
The more you can increase fear of drugs and crime, welfare mothers, immigrants and aliens, the more you control all the people.
Fashion is part of our culture, and it’s about more than just a pretty dress.
The more work you put in, and the more you constantly and consistently give good performances against good opponents and constantly exceed people’s expectations, the more you really endear yourself to the crowd. That’s how your career takes off – it’s just consistency and time.
It takes a big idea to attract the attention of consumers and get them to buy your product. Unless your advertising contains a big idea, it will pass like a ship in the night. I doubt if more than one campaign in a hundred contains a big idea.
Cleanliness is important, and more than that is the physical fitness to attain healthy body and mind.
Girls are capable of doing everything men are capable of doing. Sometimes they have more imagination than men.

Stress is nothing more than a socially acceptable form of mental illness.
You don’t have to love cooking to cook, but you have to do more than love baking to bake. You have to bake out of love.
Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don’t get so worked up about things.
Instead of going out to dinner, buy good food. Cooking at home shows such affection. In a bad economy, it’s more important to make yourself feel good.
Running taught me valuable lessons. In cross-country competition, training counted more than intrinsic ability, and I could compensate for a lack of natural aptitude with diligence and discipline. I applied this in everything I did.
The greatness of America lies not in being more enlightened than any other nation, but rather in her ability to repair her faults.
Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
History is not everything, but it is a starting point. History is a clock that people use to tell their political and cultural time of day. It is a compass they use to find themselves on the map of human geography. It tells them where they are but, more importantly, what they must be.
You know you’re getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
There is more to sex appeal than just measurements. I don’t need a bedroom to prove my womanliness. I can convey just as much sex appeal, picking apples off a tree or standing in the rain.
I know of nothing more valuable, when it comes to the all-important virtue of authenticity, than simply being who you are.
