The great leaders are like the
best conductors - they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.
- Blaine Lee

- Justin Chon
By the time I sit down and face the blank page I am raring to go. I tell it as if I'm talking to my best friend or one of my grandchildren.
- Michael Morpurgo
The best career advice to give to the young is, 'Find out what you like doing best and get someone to pay you for doing it.'
- Katharine Whitehorn
There are some people who become best friends with everyone they photograph. There are people that I really like and admire and respect, but in a way I think it's better to keep a distance. I think you get better pictures of people that you don't know very well.
- Mary Ellen Mark
A pomegranate is filled with rubies when you open it up. Diamonds may be a girl's best friend - but not for me. I love rubies; they're great over necks, you know.

The education of women is the best way to save the environment.
- E. O. Wilson
Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants.
- William Osler

- Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
- Samuel Smiles
Do I get up every morning and ask: am I doing the things that I believe in and am I doing them for the best possible motives? Yes. Unambiguously yes.
- Nick Clegg
You throw your best punch, otherwise don't do it.
- Don Rickles
It's my firm intention to whop cancer into submission and I
truly believe I've given myself the best start possible by radically
overhauling my diet and by staying true to my motto, which is: Don't worry, be
happy, feel good. The first thing I did when I was diagnosed was to turn vegan.
- Larry Hagman
We wanted Nike to be the world's best sports and fitness company. Once you say that, you have a focus. You don't end up making wing tips or sponsoring the next Rolling Stones world tour.
- Phil Knight
Short words are best and the old words when short are best of all.
- Winston Churchill
My belief is that communication is the best way to create strong relationships.
- Jada Pinkett Smith
Sometimes the best lighting of all is a power failure.

I am a conservative Republican, a firm believer in free market capitalism. A free market system allows all parties to compete, which ensures the best and most competitive project emerges, and ensures a fair, democratic process.
- Sarah Palin
We all know the feeling of surrendering to the embedded biases of our devices. We let our cell phones ping us every time there's an incoming message and check our e-mail even when we'd best pay attention to what's going on around us in the real world. We text while driving.
- Douglas Rushkoff
Losing is no disgrace if you've given your best.
- Jim Palmer
All that is worth seeing in good boxing can best be witnessed in a contest with soft gloves. Every value is called out: quickness, force, precision, foresight, readiness, pluck, and endurance. With these, the rowdy and 'rough' are not satisfied.
- John Boyle O'Reilly
Business is about being the best that you can be, and there are always glowing examples of people that we can all learn from.
- John Caudwell
We depend on our rivers and dams for energy, transportation, irrigation and recreation and I will continue this year to fight for what's best for the Pacific Northwest.

Those who excel in virtue have the best right of all to rebel, but then they are of all men the least inclined to do so.

We count on winning. And if we lose, don't beef. And the best way to prevent beefing is - don't lose.
- Knute Rockne
Given the best of all possible worlds, I would make a few changes. I would place emphasis on increasing the amount of funding that goes into programs like Pell Grants, that purely and simply award funds to students who really cannot afford full tuition.
- Charles Vest
Democracy is a daring concept - a hope that we'll be best governed if all of us participate in the act of government. It is meant to be a conversation, a place where the intelligence and local knowledge of the electorate sums together to arrive at actions that reflect the participation of the largest possible number of people.
- Brian Eno
I make some of my best recipes with a simple homemade stock. Keep shrimp shells stored in a plastic bag in the freezer. When you have almost a gallon-bag full, you can make a stock in 30 minutes that you can use in soups and sauces. You can then freeze the stock in ice-cube trays.
- Emeril Lagasse
I don't know the first real thing about the dating game. I don't know how to talk to a specific person and connect. I just think you have to go to person by person and do the best you can with people in general.
- Jason Schwartzman
The best present a man can give a woman is his undivided attention.
- Usher
The best meal I've had was in Tavarua, an island in Fiji. It was just before sunset. A bunch of guys had just caught all this yellow fin tuna; they literally brought this huge wooden table down to the sand, pulled the tuna from the boat, dropped it on top of the table, pulled the skin off and sliced the tuna up.
- Rob Machado
I can not believe that war is the best solution. No one won the last war, and no one will win the next war.
- Eleanor Roosevelt
I'm raised by a single mom and didn't have pops around for the most part of my life. And she, by any means necessary, gave me the best opportunities that she knew how to give me.
- Shemar Moore
They still don't want to admit to the world that this isn't the best and the fairest and most equal justice system. And that they are guilty of railroading people into jail. They don't want to, or never will, admit these things.
- Leonard Peltier
When we trust God more than our feelings, it confuses the devil. I mean, when he throws you his best shot and he can't budge you from believing God, he won't know what to do with you anymore.
- Joyce Meyer
We want Facebook to be one of the best places people can go to learn how to build stuff. If you want to build a company, nothing better than jumping in and trying to build one. But Facebook is also great for entrepreneurs/hackers. If people want to come for a few years and move on and build something great, that's something we're proud of.
- Mark Zuckerberg
You can compromise between good, better, and best, and you can compromise between bad and worse and terrible. But you can't compromise between good and evil. And now people look at the other side as a completely different kind of animal and say, 'They are taking the country down the road to purgatory.' It's complete intolerance.
- Gary Ackerman
I've always considered myself the best and the top. I never considered that I was out of it.
- Serena Williams
I feel the best after a workout - I'm sweaty and exhausted, but it also gives me an energy I really like.
- Hilary Rhoda
I'm not interested in dating. I like being with my own best friend, me. Certain women, particularly older women, cannot believe I like going to a social event by myself. But I do.
- Gloria Allred
One of the best things that ever happened to me was Rocky Horror being a total flop in New York as a play. I mean, it was a disaster, and it was the night of the long knives as far as the critics were concerned.
- Tim Curry
We're all just playing our own game. I don't see it as a rivalry. We're just trying to play our best.
- Michelle Wie
The best author will be the one who is ashamed to become a writer.
- Friedrich Nietzsche
In the beginning there was the word. The word was Jah. The word is in I, Jah is in I. I make what is good, better, and what is better, best. I follow this in every aspect of life.
- Peter Tosh
Public relations is at best promotion or manipulation, at worst evasion and outright deception. What it is never about is a free flow of information.
- Heather Brooke
I am definitely a Type A personality, always rushing around, trying to do too much, not good at just lying on the beach. But I'm so thankful for everything I have: wonderfully supportive parents and sisters, the best husband in the world, terrific students I love teaching and hanging out with, and above all, my two amazing daughters.
- Amy Chua
The best of the best understand that people do business with people they like. People do business with people they trust, and people do business with those who make them feel special.
- Robin S. Sharma
I feel like I'm a New Yorker because I really know the city. I actually tell the drivers where to go - I have this bad habit, I always question the drivers. I do that all the time because I feel like I know the best way, when really it's like, 'Yo, man, shut up. This dude does this every day of his life.'
- J. Cole
For short term relaxation, I take a hot tub. It's my best way to unblock writers' block, too. For a bit longer relaxation, I enjoy camping. Just being in the wilderness, with no phones or computers or anything I have to do really refreshes my spirit.
- Ellen Hopkins
In art the best is good enough.
- Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
