Quote by -Jackie Chan
The biggest threat to innovation is internal politics and an organizational culture, which doesn’t accept failure and/or doesn’t accept ideas from outside, and/or cannot change.
Quote by -Vala Afshar
I guess the simplest definition of the culture is what happens when the manager leaves the room.
Quote by -Vala Afshar
Your culture is the brand. Your employees are the brand. Your core values and guiding principles are the brand. You are the brand.
Quote by -Vala Afshar
Glam culture is ultimately rooted in obsession, and those of us who are truly devoted and loyal to the lifestyle of glamour are masters of its history. Or, to put it more elegantly, we are librarians.
Quote by -Lady Gaga
We spend so much time condemning, critiquing, and copying culture we miss on actually changing it. Be a creator not a hater.
Quote by -Lecrae
I just like to have words that describe things correctly. Now to me, 'black feminist' does not do that. I need a word that is organic, that really comes out of the culture, that really expresses the spirit that we see in black women. And it's just... womanish.
Quote by -Alice Walker
One thing I've always loved about the culture at Microsoft is there is nobody who is tougher on us, in terms of what we need to learn and do better, than the people in the company itself. You can walk down these halls, and they'll tell you, 'We need to do usability better, push this or that frontier.'
Quote by -Bill Gates
“The modern city is ugly not because it is a city but because it is not enough of a city, because it is a jungle, because it is confused and anarchic, and surging with selfish and materialistic energies.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“With all that we hear of American hustle and hurry, it is rather strange that Americans seem to like to linger on longer words.”
Quote by -Gilbert K Chesterton
“White people should have sued for being culturally deprived in a white ghetto. When humans are ranked instead of linked, everyone loses.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
“Needing approval is a female cultural disease, and often a sign of doing the wrong thing.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
Yidaki didgeridoo has been used in every part of Australian regional culture, all around the country. It's become a message stick for the survival of those people, for aboriginal people and aboriginal culture.
Quote by -Xavier Rudd
Surf culture and surfing for me are two completely different things. Surf culture has become very - it's a very commercial, competitive thing, fashionable. With all due respect to the 'Surfer Dude' movie, I think the 'Surfer Dude' movie reflects that, reflects what surfing's become, but I come from a place where the surf industry began.
Quote by -Xavier Rudd
“White people should have sued for being culturally deprived in a white ghetto. When humans are ranked instead of linked, everyone loses.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
Germany is a country that has absolutely had to since the Second World War ask itself massive moral questions. And it's reforged its identity based on culture. I mean, the amount of artists living and working in Berlin is unparalleled. It's one of the strongest economies, not only in Europe, but globally, and it's because of its understanding of the importance of culture.
Quote by -Cate Blanchett
“I began to sense that a big part of our problem is simple ignorance of what the oldest cultures have to teach.”
Quote by -Gloria Steinem
When members of a society wish to secure that society's rich heritage they cherish their arts and respect their artists. The esteem with which we regard the multiple cultures offered in our country enhances our possibilities for healthy survival and continued social development.
Quote by -Maya Angelou
I think that growing up in a crowded continent like Europe with an awful lot of competing claims, ideas... cultures... and systems of thought, we have, perforce, developed a more sophisticated notion of what the word 'freedom' means than I see much evidence of in America.
Quote by -Douglas Adams
Ours is a culture where we wear our ability to get by on very little sleep as a kind of badge of honor that symbolizes work ethic, or toughness, or some other virtue—but really, it’s a total profound failure of priorities and of self-respect.
Quote by -Tim Firris
For hundreds of years Iranians have been migrating to many parts of the world. They took Islamic culture to other parts of the world and established it there.
Quote by -Mahmoud Ahmadinejad
I do not want my house to be walled in on all sides and my windows to be stuffed. I want the culture of all lands to be blown about my house as freely as possible. But I refuse to be blown off my feet by any
Quote by -Mahatama Gandhi
The land flourished because it was fed from so many sources--because it was nourished by so many cultures and traditions and peoples.
Quote by -Lyndon B. Johnson
In Italy they take cheap cloth and make it look expensive, but I take expensive cloth and make it look cheap. They just don't understand.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
Popular culture is a contradiction in terms. If it's popular, it's not culture.
Quote by -Vivienne Westwood
When incentive to acquire and obtain property is gone, people no longer make efforts to acquire any... Those who infringe upon property rights commit an injustice... If this occurs repeatedly, all incentives to cultural enterprise are destroyed and they cease utterly to make an effort. This leads to destruction and ruin of civilization.
Quote by -Ibn Khaldun
Sedentary culture is the goal of civilization. It means the end of its lifespan and brings about its corruption.
Quote by -Ibn Khaldun
There is joint action, but no joint thinking. There is only tradition which preserves thoughts and communicates them to others as a stimulus to their thinking.
Quote by -Ludwig Von Mises
I would go back to the past and watch one of the early Beatles shows, because they were such a massive part of cultural history. As a younger person, you feel you missed out on that.
Quote by -Louis Tomlinson
"The highest possible stage in moral culture is when we recognise that we ought to control our thoughts."
Quote by -Charles Darwin
"Every man who has shown the world the way to beauty, to true culture, has been a rebel, a 'universal' without patriotism, without home who has found his people everywhere."
Quote by -Chaim Potok
"Years of misguided teaching have resulted in the destruction of the best in our society, in our cultures and in the environment."
Quote by -Cesar Chavez
"At the end of the day, you want to be always the one that's one step ahead of everybody, and when it comes to hip-hop, culture and art, you want to be that signature guy."
Quote by -Carmelo Anthony
"Temperament lies behind mood; behind will, lies the fate of character. Then behind both, the influence of family the tyranny of culture; and finally the power of climate and environment; and we are free, only to the extent we rise above these."
Quote by -John Burroughs
"America's can-do spirit cast a warm glow across nations and cultures, generating more goodwill and support for our country's ideals and causes than had otherwise been possible."
Quote by -Buzz Aldrin
“Every age but ours has had its model, its ideal. All of these have been given up by our culture; the saint, the hero, the gentleman, the knight, the mystic. About all we have left is the well-adjusted man without problems, a very pale and doubtful substitute.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“Motivation theory is not synonymous with behavior theory. The motivations are only one class of determinants of behavior. While behavior is almost always motivated, it is also almost always biologically, culturally and situationally determined as well.”
Quote by -Abraham Maslow
“There is no country in the world in which everything can be provided for by laws, or in which political institutions can prove a substitute for common sense and public morality.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
“They took over from the old order not only most of its customs, conventions, and modes of thought, but even those ideas which prompted our revolutionaries to destroy it; that, in fact, though nothing was further from their intentions, they used the debris of the old order for building up the new.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
“The practice which obtains amongst the Americans of fixing the standard of their judgment in themselves alone, leads them to other habits of mind. As they perceive that they succeed in resolving without assistance all the little difficulties which their practical life presents, they readily conclude that everything in the world may be explained, and that nothing in it transcends the limits of the understanding. Thus they fall to denying what they cannot comprehend; which leaves them but little faith for whatever is extraordinary, and an almost insurmountable distaste for whatever is supernatural.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
“The surface of American society is covered with a layer of democracy, from beneath which the old aristocratic colors sometimes peep.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
“The greatest difficulty in antiquity with that of altering the law; among the moderns, it is that of altering the manners.”
Quote by -Alexis de Tocqueville
