May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.

I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do. I am free, no matter what rules surround me. If I find them tolerable, I tolerate them; if I find them too obnoxious, I break them. I am free because I know that I alone am morally responsible for everything I do.

You can have peace. Or you can have freedom. Don't ever count on having both at once.

Love is that condition in which the happiness of another person is essential to your own... Jealousy is a disease, love is a healthy condition. The immature mind often mistakes one for the other, or assumes that the greater the love, the greater the jealousy.

It is a truism that almost any sect, cult, or religion will legislate its creed into law if it acquires the political power to do so.

Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.

There is no way that writers can be tamed and rendered civilized or even cured. The only solution known to science is to provide the patient with an isolation room, where he can endure the acute stages in private and where food can be poked in to him with a stick.

The difference between science and the fuzzy subjects is that science requires reasoning while those other subjects merely require scholarship.

One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen.

The universe never did make sense; I suspect it was built on government contract.

A society that gets rid of all its troublemakers goes downhill.

An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.

When any government, or any church for that matter, undertakes to say to its subjects, This you may not read, this you must not see, this you are forbidden to know, the end result is tyranny and oppression no matter how holy the motives.

When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.

Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Women and cats will do as they please, and men and dogs should relax and get used to the idea.

I never learned from a man who agreed with me.

Yield to temptation. It may not pass your way again.

Loyalty and friendship trumps politics for me.

Anyone who starts piercing the bubble of happiness, get 'em out of your life.

A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don't have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.

One of my beliefs about leadership is it's not how many followers you have, but how many people you have with different opinions that you can bring together and try to be a good listener.

Leadership is about stepping up when it's the appropriate time and then making sure everyone knows that we're all on the same page.

Leadership is about having the courage to go against the advice of the so-called experts and doing what your instinct tells you is right.

The game of football requires attention constantly. If you miss one play, you can miss a lot of action - unlike some other sports.

Sometimes, life is unfair, and you have to suck it up and move on and not use it as an excuse.

I know, firsthand, that soccer brings people together - all it takes is a ball and a few people, and the seeds of friendship are planted.

I surround myself with good people who make me feel great and give me positive energy.

For me, I just set little goals for myself and stay on that kind of track and surround myself with positive people along with my teammates. I just kind of have my goals and my dreams, and this is something that we've all been working for our entire lives, so it is kind of easy to wake up and want to better myself every day towards that goal.

You can control two things: your work ethic and your attitude about anything.

I can only control myself, my actions, my work ethic, and my attitude.

The leadership of Christine Rampone goes without saying. She is the definition of a what a leader is.

As a young girl, football is where I met the people who, to this day, are my best friends. It is also where I began to learn about the important relationship between hard work, teamwork, and fun.

I don't think there's any disappointment in my career because everything that maybe didn't go my way was a learning experience.

Try not to completely change your diet just because you read it somewhere or someone tells you it works for them. Do what is best for your body and don't think that just because everyone else is doing it that it will work for you. Know what fuels your body to be at its best, and enjoy the little things! Indulge! Cupcakes and cookies.

My dad has always played and coached, so that's what I knew. I played other sports but always turned toward soccer and had the same love for it as my father. They never forced me to play; I always wanted to. I was always around it.

My vision is to build an e-commerce ecosystem that allows consumers and businesses to do all aspects of business online.

If you're doing business, not that simple to only buy. You have to create something. You have to create something that never exist for the future.

As a company, we have to be very transparent. We are in a business very related to finance, and I want this company to last long, and I want this company to be audited by everyone.

Trade is a communication of cultures and values.

I respect Apple. It's a great company that changed the world, especially the mobile time.

I want to change history, do something important in my life, and influence individuals like we have with millions of small businesses on Alibaba. Then they love and respect you because you made their life important.

Hong Kong people say Hong Kong needs to preserve its uniqueness. I say Hong Kong's uniqueness is in its diversity, its tolerance of difference cultures... China does not want to see Hong Kong in decline. I have full confidence in its future.

I believe always you should have a philanthropic heart inside but business way. Because you have to get things done. That is what scientists tell us how to do properly. Business should tell us how to get things done efficiently. And government should have the good environment and the foundations of researching.

The lessons I learned from the dark days at Alibaba are that you've got to make your team have value, innovation, and vision. Also, if you don't give up, you still have a chance. And, when you are small, you have to be very focused and rely on your brain, not your strength.

Our philosophy is that we want to be an ecosystem. Our philosophy is to empower others to sell, empower others to service, making sure the other people are more powerful than us. With our technology, our innovation, our partners - 10 million small business sellers - they can compete with Microsoft and IBM.

I'm not a tech guy. I'm looking at the technology with the eyes of my customers, normal people's eyes.

The most important thing is to make the technology inclusive - make the world change. Next, pay attention to those people who are 30 years old, because those are the internet generation. They will change the world; they are the builders of the world.

Our philosophy is, using internet technology, we can make every company become Amazon.

The world needs new leadership, but the new leadership is about working together.
