I like to do a lot of listening, that way I pick up a lot of good ideas—many from subordinates. When you listen, you know twice as much as the other guy: what he knows and what you know.

– Gen. Hal Moore, On Leadership

You have to learn to love the problem, not the solution. That’s how you stay engaged when things take longer than expected.

— Marc Randolph, That Will Never Work

There is never any ending to Paris and the memory of each person who has lived in it differs from that of any other. We always returned to it no matter who we were or how it was changed or with what difficulties, or ease, it could be reached. Paris was always worth it and you received return for whatever you brought to it. But this is how Paris was in the early days when we were very poor and very happy.

— A Moveable Feast, Ernest Hemingway
