An image is not simply a trade mark, a design, a slogan or an easily remembered picture. It is a studiously crafted personality profile of an individual, institution, corporation, product or service.
The supreme end of education is expert discernment in all things – the power to tell the good from the bad, the genuine from the counterfeit, and to prefer the good and the genuine to the bad and the counterfeit.

Fight for the things you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
It’s not the size of the dog in the fight, it’s the size of the fight in the dog.
The public feels that if it’s on the Internet and you can access it, you deserve it. You haven’t committed any kind of crime. We may even have to rename piracy. But in any case, we have to confront it.
It takes 20 years to build a reputation and five minutes to ruin it. If you think about that, you’ll do things differently.
Do what you do so well that they will want to see it again and bring their friends.
If you built it, they will come.
Symbol of imperishability and endurance
