My relationship to plants becomes closer and closer. They make me quiet; I like to be in their company.
Have good associates or don't associate at all. Be careful in the selection of your friends. If in the presence of certain persons you are lifted to nobler heights, you are in good company. But if your friends or associates encourage base thoughts, then you had best leave them.
I love solitude but I prize it most when company is available.
I think markets are often not thinking on a long-time horizon, I think that our government structurally is doing even less so. When we have a government where we have people who are up for election at most once every six years for a U. S. senator, that's a time horizon that is much shorter than in a market that a company is looking at 10, 15, 20 years which is a time horizon over which a stock price is typically valued.
Society has to be structured such that there are checks and balances, so that it can't be manipulated, for instance, for the profit of just some multinational company who's going to get rich on trying to legislate the environment.
My credit card company calls me if it looks like I've bought too many hoodies and cargo pants for my kid at Old Navy.
We built this company from the customer back, not from the company out.
Its pretty rare for companies to have a snooping policy, although it is getting more common.
The success of the dinner depends as much upon the company as the cook. Discordant elements - people invited alphabetically, or to pay off debts - are fatal.
I don't think there's any company that has reached $1 billion in revenue as fast as Xiaomi. In every conceivable benchmark, it's almost unprecedented in terms of its speed of growth.
Because I don't see Virgin as a company but as a way of life and I fully enjoy it, I don't think I'll ever retire.
I try to keep myself in the best of company and my horses in the worst of company.
If you depend on your company to take care of your retirement, your future income will be divided by five. Take care of it yourself, and you can multiply your future income by five.
I started with a $1 million loan. I agree with that. It's a $1 million loan. But I built a phenomenal company.
My sister just had a baby. We can have company over. She'll be in front of everyone with her um. . . breast. . . out feeding it. You know. . . cereal or whatever.
My importance to the world is relatively small. On the other hand, my importance to myself is tremendous. I am all I have to work with, to play with, to suffer and to enjoy. It is not the eyes of others that I am wary of, but of my own. I do not intend to let myself down more than I can possibly help, and I find that the fewer illusions I have about myself or the world around me, the better company I am for myself.
Normally seven minutes of another person's company was enough to give her a headache so she set things up to live as a recluse. She was perfectly content as long as people left her in peace. Unfortunately society was not very smart or understanding.
We are a company that lives and breathes a philosophy that's centered on not only making sound business decisions but also personally and professionally finding ways to contribute to the well being of society. We are also a company that understands community.
Sad company is bad company.
I am, out of the ladies' company, like a fish out of the water.
