More quotes by Marilyn vos Savant
Be able to set a table so that you feel like you're dining, not just sitting and eating.
Marilyn vos Savant
The magnitude of an action may change not only the strength of its impact, but the direction. If you became a dentist, for example, you would certainly be an asset to our society. But what if everyone became a dentist? Who would bake the bread? Who would build the houses?
Marilyn vos Savant
Know the function of a fuse box and the appearance of a tripped circuit breaker.
Marilyn vos Savant
A good leader needs to stand behind his or her followers as often as he or she needs to stand in front of them.
Marilyn vos Savant
Be able to analyze statistics, which can be used to support or undercut almost any argument.
Marilyn vos Savant
Profit is what we have left after we make a donation to a worthwhile cause.
Marilyn vos Savant
Be able to hiccup silently, or at least without alerting neighbors to your situation. The first hiccup is an exception.
Marilyn vos Savant
Be able to meet any deadline, even if your work is done less well than it would be if you had all the time you would have preferred.
Marilyn vos Savant
Just because you're unemployed doesn't mean you're not doing anything useful. You are, for example, at least keeping your mother-in-law's wit sharp.
Marilyn vos Savant
Be able to describe anything visual, such as a street scene, in words that convey your meaning.
Marilyn vos Savant
I believe that one becomes stronger emotionally by taking life less personally. If your employer criticizes your report, don't take it personally. Instead, find out what's needed and fix it. If your girlfriend laughs at your tie, don't take it personally. Find another tie or find another girlfriend.
Marilyn vos Savant
Be able to confide your innermost secrets to your mother and your innermost fears to your father.
Marilyn vos Savant
Success may be the ability to be happy with whatever we're stuck with.
Marilyn vos Savant
The difference between America and England is that the English think 100 miles is a long distance and the Americans think 100 years is a long time. The difference between an autobiography and an unauthorized biography is like the difference between an account of your life written by your mother and one written by your mother-in-law.
Marilyn vos Savant
I believe Picasso's success is just one small part of the broader modern phenomenon of artists themselves rejecting serious art- perhaps partly because serious art takes so much time and energy and talent to produce-in favor of what I call `impulse art': art work that is quick and easy, at least by comparison.
Marilyn vos Savant
A good idea will keep you awake during the morning, but a great idea will keep you awake during the night.
Marilyn vos Savant
Common sense comes from experience, and kids need to fail as well as succeed in order to learn it. It's difficult to develop common sense when you spend a lot of time in your room where nothing much happens.
Marilyn vos Savant
Be able to correctly pronounce the words you would like to speak and have excellent spoken grammar.
Marilyn vos Savant
I love having ten times as much stuff to do as I can possibly find time to do. That way, I can pick the one-tenth that I want to do most. But if I only have enough to just occupy all my time, I'm stuck doing all of whatever stuff it happens to be.
Marilyn vos Savant
What is the essence of America? The essence of America is finding and maintaining that perfect, delicate balance between freedom to and freedom from.
