There is no health without mental health; mental health is too important to be left to the professionals alone, and mental health is everyone’s business. – Vikram Patel
As someone who has owned a small business in the past, I understand how difficult it can be to get a loan. – Tony Cardenas
As the wonderful agony begins for 1964-65, I sometimes wonder why I do it. I’ve got an insurance business going on the side, and it is starting to grow nicely. Selling insurance fulfills me, in a way, like basketball. But basketball keeps calling me back. I suppose I’ll play until I can’t keep up with the kids any longer. – Tom Heinsohn
You know I don’t really have faith in politicians – this is quite a sleazy business. But there is no law which says that all politicians will turn out to be scumbags. – Zac Goldsmith
Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants. – Stewart Udall
If you are in this business long enough, you hear about a thousand things that are going to kill you. Open source? Yeah, we are not dead yet. Cloud? That’s not new; it’s a new name. – Safra A. Catz
I used to run record companies, and I went to the advertising business at 29 years old. – Steve Stoute
When ‘Buffy the Vampire Slayer’ premiered on the WB Network in 1996, American culture was in trouble. Americans were bowling alone, pursuing individual interests to the detriment of the communal good. Business leaders were celebrating creativity and neglecting discipline. Nike’s ‘Just do it’ ads were teaching young people to break the rules. – Virginia Postrel
I’m definitely a Tory. My dad was a Conservative councillor, and I spent years as a child knocking on doors with him. I’m a Tory because I’m passionate about business and enterprise. But I am also a compassionate Conservative. There should always be a net through which no one should fall. – Samantha Cameron
I’m sure there will be business ventures and things down the road, but I definitely don’t want to be a team owner. – Scott Dixon
I’ve made mistakes in business, but none so big I couldn’t recover and learn from them. The more you try to change consumer behaviour, the riskier it gets. You have to work out your potential losses against the obvious gains. – Stelios Haji-Ioannou
Everyone with all those good intentions came to help Indonesia rebuild from the tsunami; but the co-ordination problem was very big, because they came with their own way of doing business; they came with the inflexibility of their own governance. – Sri Mulyani Indrawati
The federal government does not trample in jackboots those with whom it does business. It wraps them in cotton batting and, when they express ingratitude, apologizes profusely. – Timothy Noah
I think I was the first executive to ever speak at a Greenpeace business conference, in London in 2001. That didn’t play well here at Ford, but I thought it was an important signal to send internally, that these were the kind of issues we needed to be grappling with. – William Clay Ford, Jr.
Everything is tennis for me, it’s my career and it’s entertainment, but it’s also a business. – Venus Williams
I watched Ricki Lake’s documentary, ‘The Business of Being Born,’ and that led me to call a midwife, and not an ob-gyn, when I found out I had conceived. My delivery was not easy – they call it ‘labor,’ not ‘a vacation!’ – but I was incredibly grateful that I did it that way. – Sarah Wayne Callies
On the one hand, I am a businesswoman – on the other, a wife and a mother. Like many women, I have had to distribute time and attention between business and family. It is not at all easy to find that balance. – Yelena Baturina
If people like you, they’ll listen to you, but if they trust you, they’ll do business with you. – Zig Ziglar
My mom was a medical photographer, but on the side, she did a before-and-after glam photography business in the house. She would do makeup and hair – and I was her assistant. – Tyra Banks
Nothing so conclusively proves a man’s ability to lead others as what he does from day to day to lead himself. – Thomas J. Watson
Sometimes, idealistic people are put off the whole business of networking as something tainted by flattery and the pursuit of selfish advantage. But virtue in obscurity is rewarded only in Heaven. To succeed in this world you have to be known to people. – Sonia Sotomayor
People return my phone calls now, which is really interesting. I’ll tell you what I’ve learned that’s kind of bittersweet. So many doors have opened up. I’ve met everybody in the business. I’m fortunate people want to work with me. – Tate Taylor
‘The Ecologist’ has lost money from the day it was launched in 1970, and will continue until the last edition is printed. It was never set up as a business venture. It was set up as a campaign, and like all good campaigns, it costs. Its various backers have, over the years, been happy to pay that cost. – Zac Goldsmith
In one month, the Small Business Administration does $1 billion of loans and guarantees for businesses; many of those are women-owned businesses. – Sylvia Mathews Burwell
QuickBooks – the very fact that we could even dream to make something in the business arena, and that it would then succeed – was a total revolution to me. – Scott Cook
I don’t think of myself as a producer. In television, it’s part of the business – if you progress and become successful as a writer, you’re called a writer-producer. What that means is that you have a lot of say in casting and behind-the-scenes stuff. But I’m just a writer. – Winnie Holzman
But my sense in talking to people when I travel is that the film business is not that dissimilar from a lot of other businesses. – Steven Soderbergh
I generally disagree with most of the very high margin opportunities. Why? Because it’s a business strategy tradeoff: the lower the margin you take, the faster you grow. – Vinod Khosla
