Remind people that profit is the difference between revenue and expense. This makes you look smart.

I buy when other people are selling.

Don't worry about people stealing your ideas. If your ideas are any good you'll have to ram them down people's throats.

A company is only as good as the people it keeps.

I was told to avoid the business all together because of the rejection. People would say to me 'Don't you want to have a normal job and a normal family?' I guess that would be good advice for some people but I wanted to act.

Start with good people lay out the rules communicate with your employees motivate them and reward them. If you do all those things effectively you can't miss.

Everyone has an invisible sign hanging from their neck saying 'Make me feel important.' Never forget this message when working with people.

Every day I get up and look through the Forbes list of the richest people in America. If I'm not there I go to work.

Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.

Business that's easily defined - it's other people's money.

Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.

I used to go down every year for the remembrance of Elvis' birthday. Memphis State College invited me to sit in the auditorium and speak to the people for one of those Elvis days.

We were probably the last people in the country to get a VCR and we didn't have cable. There wasn't any admiration of glamour no 'I want to look like them or have that lifestyle' because everyone in my town had the same lifestyle. So I didn't think 'Ooh a movie star's birthday!' I just thought 'What?'

My parents were dishonest people. If it was my birthday I knew my mother took me to the K-Mart and she stole my toy. She'd put it in the shopping cart and we'd walk out. I was raised with that.

Mattresses! Beautiful! Let's go buy a couple of mattresses. Give 'em to people for their birthday.

I get uncomfortable when people give me presents and watch me open them. I don't have birthday parties because the idea of a group of people singing and looking at me while I'm blowing out candles gives me hives.

I worked at an ice cream parlor called Chadwicks. We wore old-timey outfits and had to bang a drum play a kazoo and sing 'Happy Birthday' to people while giving them free birthday sundaes. Lots of ice cream scooping and $1 tips.

You know we'd just had a birthday he was... you know he still had a future out of him and all I can is he was just one of the most beautiful people in the world... a very gifted man and it's a loss to the world not just for us.

The reason I met my husband was because I remembered a friend's birthday. The moral of the story is: Remember people's birthdays.

Some people won't go the extra mile and then on their birthday when no one makes a fuss they feel neglected and bitter.

It's odd the things that people remember. Parents will arrange a birthday party certain it will stick in your mind forever. You'll have a nice time then two years later you'll be like 'There was a pony there? Really? And a clown with one leg?'

It was my 16th birthday - my mom and dad gave me my Goya classical guitar that day. I sat down wrote this song and I just knew that that was the only thing I could ever really do - write songs and sing them to people.

I do like to shock and surprise people. When it's all in good fun of course.

I had a birthday one night on a farm we were shooting on. I walked into the tent and there were 150 people waiting for me all wearing masks of my face.
