Withholding things in a story is no good if you aren’t building to something substantial. It becomes foreplay without the main event, and no one wants that Picture Quote #1

Our idea with starting Stripe was to build better payments technology for people building things on the web Picture Quote #1

My life has two modes. One is sitting around writing and contemplating or building things. The other is execution mode. It takes a while to switch from one to the other Picture Quote #1

Remarkable marketing is the art of building things worth noticing right into your product or service. Not slapping on marketing as a last-minute add-on, but understanding that if your offering itself isn’t remarkable, it’s invisible Picture Quote #1

I don’t want to be romantic, but one of the most important things is to have happy buildings... it’s like having a family with a lot of children Picture Quote #1

You want to know how to be like indians? Live close to the earth. Get rid of some of your things. Help each other. Talk to the creator. Be quiet more. Listen to the earth instead of building things on it all the time Picture Quote #1

Is this, Miriam wonders, what they call the march of history? And even if she doesn’t fully understand, it doesn’t mean she can’t appreciate the need, the periodic need for some people to resort to gasoline, rags, and matches. Doesn’t it always come to this? Isn’t history as much about tearing things down as it is about building things up? Picture Quote #1

It’s easy to break things. Much, much easier, it seems, than building them Picture Quote #1

Often the art in New York is related to the buildings, to grandiose things Picture Quote #1

You’re All That goes back to really building a life from the core of who you’re. And all of those things are layers. That’s just your authentic life Picture Quote #1

American government is not dominated by engineers, it is dominated by lawyers. Engineers are interested in substance and building things; lawyers are interested in process and rights and getting the ideology correctly blended. And so there is sort of no really concrete plan for the future Picture Quote #1

As a kid, I was always building things. My father had a shop in the house, and we built things - we were kind of a project family. I started out as a painter, and then painting led to cinema, and in cinema, you get to build so many things, or help build them Picture Quote #1

When I say artist I mean the man who is building things - creating molding the earth - whether it be the plains of the west - or the iron ore of Penn. It’s all a big game of construction - some with a brush - some with a shovel - some choose a pen Picture Quote #1

I think there are definitely two types of student: the academic kids and the 50% who fail. It’s very clear to see - it’s fact. We’re not doing enough for those who fail; they need a more physical, tactile approach, involving people skills, team-building, problem-solving, building things Picture Quote #1
