In business for yourself, not by yourself....

It is well for the world that in most of us, by the age of thirty, the character has set like plaster, and will never soften again.

The art of being wise is the art of knowing what to overlook.

It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.

Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.

In an age of incompetence, I've been able to last in this crazy business. I actually know how to play my ax and write a song. That's my job.

I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.

Love, with very young people, is a heartless business. We drink at that age from thirst, or to get drunk it is only later in life that we occupy ourselves with the individuality of our wine.
