There is no way to happiness — happiness is the way.
Outstanding leaders go out of their way to boost the self-esteem of their personnel. If people believe in themselves, it's amazing what they can accomplish.
We also have to make sure our children know the history of women. Tell them the rotten truth: It wasn't always possible for women to become doctors or managers or insurance people. Let them be armed with a true picture of the way we want it to be.
Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way.
The future is always coming up with surprises for us, and the best way to insulate yourself from these surprises is to diversify.
Sports teaches you to understand the meaning of a team. You need to be able to work with everybody; you don't have to be their best friend. You can experience the fun of competition and driving toward a common goal without pushing to bond in some major way with each individual on a project.

If I'm doing something, I tend to do it in a concentrated way.
Great companies in the way they work, start with great leaders.
True equality means holding everyone accountable in the same way, regardless of race, gender, faith, ethnicity — or political ideology.
The best way to solve problems and to fight against war is through dialogue.
Turn off your email; turn off your phone; disconnect from the Internet; figure out a way to set limits so you can concentrate when you need to, and disengage when you need to. Technology is a good servant but a bad master.
Here are the values that I stand for: honesty, equality, kindness, compassion, treating people the way you want to be treated and helping those in need. To me, those are traditional values.
A patent, or invention, is any assemblage of technologies or ideas that you can put together that nobody put together that way before. That's how the patent office defines it. That's an invention.
