Later, you should learn to hire fast and scale up the company, but in the early days the goal should be not to hire. Not to hire.

Sam Altman

The fact remains that getting people right is not what living is all about anyway. It's getting them wrong that is living, getting them wrong and wrong and wrong and then, on careful reconsideration, getting them wrong again. That's how we know we're alive: we're wrong.

Philip Roth

What some people mistake for the high cost of living is really the cost of living high.

Doug Larson

I’d rather interview 50 people and not hire anyone than hire the wrong person.

Jeff Bezos

I didn't have a job because nobody would hire me. My friends were getting hired, and I couldn't even get a job interview. That really rocked my self-esteem because I didn't understand what I did wrong on those job applications.

Tyra Banks

In New York the stakes are so high. In urban centers the stakes are so high. You marry the wrong person, you go to the wrong college, you take the wrong job. Any of these things could really get you in trouble down the road. Or in your mind anyway. You're afraid to make any move, it's paralyzing.

Meghan Daum

The cost of the vaccine is truly minuscule when you think about the benefits you're getting from an opportunity-cost standpoint. If you're going to miss several days of work - and you will - with high fevers, body aches, nausea, and vomiting... you're going to be losing out on a lot more money and productivity if you don't get the flu shot.

Everybody on my team - I couldn't do their jobs. I could not. I really mean that. So I figured out early on that the way you're successful is you hire really successful people.

Carol Bartz

The cost of the high-cost economy remains too high.

Paul Wolfowitz

A credit card sometimes adds to the high cost of living but more often to the cost of high living.

Bob Phillips

If you own a butcher shop, don't hire vegetarians. To hire the right people, you have to let the wrong people go.

Robert Kiyosaki

High premiums are being paid today not particularly for quality service or long-term building of a business but rather for making money quickly, getting rich, and getting out. And that's wrong.

Willard C. Butcher

Getting into my teen years, I was filled with so much shame and pain that I got really involved with drugs and alcohol. I was hanging out with the wrong people and getting involved in the wrong relationships and everything just sort of spun out of control.

Pattie Mallette

I've always been really internally focused. I tend to focus on hiring - ensuring that every person we hire is both a really good fit and really good - and also that everything we put out to our users is very high-quality.

Arash Ferdowsi

It would be wrong for us to offer difference from the Conservative Party at the cost of credibility, but equally it would be wrong to offer credibility at the cost of being clear that there remain very fundamental differences.
