I'm slowly becoming a convert to the principle that you can't motivate people to do things, you can only de-motivate them. The primary job of the manager is not to empower but to remove obstacles.

Woody Allen

Love is the answer, but while you are waiting for the answer, sex raises some pretty good questions.

Is sex dirty? Only when it's being done right.

Sex between a man and a woman can be wonderful, provided you can get between the right man and the right woman.

The difference between sex and death is that with death you can do it alone and no one is going to make fun of you.

Sex without love is an empty experience, but as empty experiences go it's one of the best.

Money is better than poverty, if only for financial reasons.

It's not that i'm afraid to die, I just won't be there when it happens.

Neil Armstrong

That's one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.

Marykay Ash

If you think you can, you can. And if you think you can't, you're right.

Isaac Asimov

Those people who think they know everything are a great annoyance to those of us who do.

Marcus Aurelius

We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
