The excuse that you don't have enough time is just that--an excuse. You do have time. It's a question of priorities. So turn the TV off at night. Shut down the internet.

Under-slept employees are not, therefore, going to drive your business forward with productive innovation. Like a group of people riding stationary exercise bikes, everyone looks like they are pedaling, but the scenery never changes. The irony that employees miss is that when you are not getting enough sleep, you work less productively and thus need to work longer to accomplish a goal. This means you often must work longer and later into the evening, arrive home later, go to bed later, and need to wake up earlier, creating a negative feedback loop. Why try to boil a pot of water on medium heat when you could do so in half the time on high? People often tell me that they do not have enough time to sleep because they have so much work to do. Without wanting to be combative in any way whatsoever, I respond by informing them that perhaps the reason they still have so much to do at the end of the day is precisely because they do not get enough sleep at night. — Matthew Walker
You have to be very careful, cut off their funding, and make them compete on equal terms. At the same time, you have to make businesspeople aware that it's necessary. As Milton Friedman said, the social function of a businessman is to make money, but that alone is not enough. Part of the investment has to be in defenders of freedom so that socialists cannot advance. Because if they don't, they will get into the state, and from the state, they will impose an agenda that, in the long run, will end up destroying everything it touches. — Javier Milei
The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough. — Rabindranath Tagore

It is not worth an intelligent man's time to be in the majority. By definition, there are already enough people to do that. — G. H. Hardy

There is a way that nature speaks, that land speaks. Most of the time we are simply not patient enough, quiet enough, to pay attention to the story. — Linda Hogan

I’m not interested in blind optimism, but I’m very interested in optimism that is hard-won, that takes on darkness and then says, ‘This is not enough.’ But it takes time, more time than we can sometimes imagine, to get there. And sometimes we don’t. — Colum McCann

It's like a guy who kills one time in his life - it's enough. You have a dead person. This tackle is absolutely horrendous. — Arsene Wenger
Revolutions can no longer be achieved by minorities. No matter how energetic and intelligent a minority may be, it is not enough, in modern times at least, to make a revolution. The cooperation of a majority, and a large majority too, is needed. — Jean Jaures
If you are drawing a blank, or are having a hard time drawing a certain thing, then it is because you have not studied it enough. — Glen Keane
People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives. — J. Michael Straczynski
