A Collection of Quotes – Volume 1

I typically use this blog for somewhat coherent thoughts. When I see things I like and don’t have time to write about them, they either make it to my tumblr account, or to my twitter & Facebook update.

Here are some of those quotes from the past few months:

“creativity, which I define as the process of having original ideas that have value, more often than not, comes about through the interaction of different disciplinary ways of seeing things”

— Sir Ken Robinson, Schools Kill Creativity, minute 13:28

“You cannot plan innovation. You cannot plan invention. All you can do is try very hard to be at the right place and be ready”

— Eric Schmidt’s Keynote Speech, Carnegie Mellon Graduation 2009

“Trust matters in a networked world. Trust is your most important currency”

— Eric Schmidt’s Keynote Speech, Carnegie Mellon Graduation 2009

“Real competition comes from the sport of business.”

— Mark Cuban – The Sport of Business

“The goal is not to be better than the other man, but to be better than your previous self.”

— An old Hindu proverb

“You see things and say ‘Why?’ I dream things and say ‘Why not?’”

— George Bernard Shaw

“Entrepreneurs are simply those who understand that there is little difference between obstacle and opportunity and are able to turn both to their advantage.”

— Nicollo Machiavelli

“Ranting is how you get the sludge out of the way so the genius can slide out on greased skids.”

— Joel D Canfield

Any of these worth anything to you?
