only Quotes “The climate is like a bathtub that’s slowly filling up with water. Even if we slow the flow of water to a trickle, the tub will eventually fill up and water will come spilling out onto the floor. That’s the disaster we have to prevent. Setting a goal to only reduce our emissions—but not eliminate them—won’t do it.” ― Bill Gates “If you decide that you’re going to do only the things you know are going to work, you’re going to leave a lot of opportunity on the table.” ― Jeff Bezos “No business can continue to shrink. That can only go on for so long before irrelevancy sets in.” ― Jeff Bezos “I have no special talent,” Einstein once said. “I am only passionately curious” ― Jeff Bezos “I came to the conclusion that we should aspire to increase the scope and scale of human consciousness in order to better understand what questions to ask. Really, the only thing tht makes sense is to strive for greater collective enlightenment.” ― Elon Musk “The only rules are the ones dictated by the laws of physics. Everything else is a recommendation” ― Elon Musk “The only thing that makes sense to do is strive for greater collective enlightenment.” ― Elon Musk “When I was sixteen, I had just two things on my mind - girls and cars. I wasn't very good with girls. So I thought about cars. I thought about girls, too, but I had more luck with cars. Let's say that when I turned sixteen, a genie had appeared to me. And that genie said, 'Warren, I'm going to give you the car of your choice. It'll be here tomorrow morning with a big bow tied on it. Brand-new. And it's all yours.' Having heard all the genie stories, I would say, 'What's the catch?' And the genie would answer, 'There's only one catch. This is the last car you're ever going to ge tin your life. So it's got to last a lifetime.' If that had happened, I would have picked out that car. But, can you imagine, knowing it had to last a lifetime, what I would do with it? I would read the manual about five times. I would always keep it garaged. If there was the least little dent or scratch, I'd have it fixed right away because I wouldn't want it rusting. I would baby that car, because it would have to last a lifetime. That's exactly the position you are in concerning your mind and body. You only get one mind and one body. And it's got to last a lifetime. Now, it's very easy to let them ride for many years. But if you don't take care of that mind and that body, they'll be a wreck forty years later, just life the car would be. It's what you do right now, today, that determines how your mind and body will operate ten, twenty, and thirty years from now.” ― Warren Buffett “You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don't do too many things wrong.” ― Warren Buffett “I learned to go into business only with people whom I like, trust, and admire.” ― Warren Buffett “Wall Street is the only place that people drive to in a Rolls Royce to take advice from people who ride the subway.” ― Warren Buffett “I won't close down a business of subnormal profitability merely to add a fraction of a point to our corporate returns. I also feel it inappropriate for even an exceptionally profitable company to fund an operation once it appears to have unending losses in prospect. Adam Smith would disagree with my first proposition and Karl Marx would disagree with my second; the middle ground is the only position that leaves me comfortable.” ― Warren Buffett “It's only when the tide goes out that you learn who's been swimming naked.” ― Warren Buffett “Only when the tide goes out do you discover who's been swimming naked.” ― Warren Buffett “Reading could be the BEST addiction one could have. The only proven side effect is imagination & an edge in knowledge.” ― Warren Buffett “Our goal is more modest: We simply attempt to be fearful when others are greedy and to be greedy only when others are fearful.” ― Warren Buffett “Despite our policy of candor, we will discuss our activities in marketable securities only to the extent legally required. Good investment ideas are rare, valuable and subject to competitive appropriation just as good product or business acquisition ideas are.” ― Warren Buffett “The biggest risk is not taking any risk... In a world that changing really quickly, the only strategy that is guaranteed to fail is not taking risks.” ― Mark Zuckerberg “Ideas don’t come out fully formed , they only become clearer as you work on them . You just have to get started.” ― Mark Zuckerberg I will only hire someone to work directly for me if I would work for that person. It's a pretty good test. ― Mark Zuckerberg “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” ― Martin Luther King Jr.
