The world is moving so fast these days that the man who says it can't be done is generally interrupted by someone doing it.

Elbert Hubbard

In these days, a man who says a thing cannot be done is quite apt to be interrupted by some idiot doing it.

Elbert Hubbard

Something happens to me when someone says, 'You can't.' I'm generally not very competitive; unless someone tells me I can't do something that should be done.

Jim DeMint

Some one has said that we are moving so fast that when plans are being made to perform some great feat, these plans are broken into by a youth who enters and says, “I have done it."

Elbert Hubbard

The world has a way of undermining complex plans. This is particularly true in fast moving environments. A fast moving environment can evolve more quickly than a complex plan can be adapted to it. By the time you have adapted, the target has changed.

Carl von Clausewitz

I struggle with my training sometimes. The thing I look at is if you keep getting up and moving forward, you'll be successful. That's the way I've lived my life. I'm not going to stop doing something because somebody says it's time. I'm going to stop it when my body says it's over or the fans say, 'we're done watching you.'

Ken Shamrock

Those who say it can't be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.

James Baldwin

Those who say, 'It can't be done,' are usually interrupted by others doing it.

Joel A. Barker

I don't believe that you are ever done. Is life ever going to stop and stand still? We have to move as fast as the world is moving.

Angela Ahrendts

Everybody accuses me of moving fast when I direct a picture. I don't move fast, but I just keep moving.

Clint Eastwood

I generally try and have great days, because I feel very lucky to be doing what I'm doing.

Imogen Poots

Acts 10:38 says, “See how God anointed Jesus of Nazareth who went about doing good.” He just got up every day and did good. Everywhere he went, even though he had a purpose and he was headed somewhere, he let himself be interrupted by the needs of people. So often we study the steps of Jesus. Maybe we need to study the stops of Jesus. The things that he stopped for, the things that interrupted his plan, where he would alter his plan and help somebody here and there.

Joyce Meyer

I work more emotively. If someone listens to one of my songs and says, "I know exactly what that's about," then I've done something wrong. I'm not doing my job properly because that's not what I want to do.

Justin Rutledge

Will Rogers wasn't helpful to me at all. He was just concerned with his way of doing things. He didn't like me much because I used to wear slacks to the studio, and that was not done much in those days, so I guess he thought I was rather fast.

Maureen O'Sullivan

I've never done anything that I need to be doing tomorrow. If someone says, 'We no longer want you here,' I won't show up again. It was true at 'The West Wing.' It was true in the Senate.

Lawrence O'Donnell

Somewhere in the world, someone is doing something that you decided couldn't be done.

Seth Godin
