- Play by the rules, but be ferocious.
- Phil Knight, founder of Nike
- We are all human, and caring about the way something looks and feels does not mean we're superficial--it means we're human. We don't need to exploit sex to recognize that a certain amount of sexiness is both pleasurable and natural.
- Kathy Sierra, Creating Passionate Users, 08-22-06
- You don’t need to win every medal to be successful.
- Jason Fried, Signal Vs. Noise, 08-22-06
