It's far too much to say that effective hoping is the only - or even the biggest - part of what it takes to succeed. If 14% of business productivity can be attributed to hope, that means 86% is dependent on raw talent, fickle business cycles, the quality of the product you're selling, and often pure, dumb luck.

It's fascinating for us women to begin looking at our lives in five-year plans. It really does help you keep on track. If that's too hard, start with a two-year plan.
‐‐ Marlo Thomas
It's fascinating how life works.
‐‐ Henry Louis Gates
It's fascinating how much of our sense of attractiveness and feminine identity is bound up in our hair.
‐‐ Natalie Dormer
It's fascinating that people, there's so many people now who will make judgments based on what you look like. I'm black. So I'm supposed to think a certain way. I'm supposed to have certain opinions. I don't do that. You don't create a box and put people in and then make a lot of generalizations about them.
‐‐ Clarence Thomas
It's fascinating to be in a place where no one has ever heard of me.
‐‐ Ednita Nazario
It's fascinating to see actors who do voiceovers every day.
‐‐ Karine Vanasse
It's fascinating to see how versatile New York City is. It lends itself to being so many different places!
‐‐ Margot Robbie
It's fascinating when you're from another place, but you don't speak the language.
‐‐ Marcus Samuelsson
It's fashionable in some circles to be pessimistic about America, about conservative solutions, about the Republican Party. I utterly reject that pessimism.
‐‐ Mitt Romney
It's fashionable to speak about vulnerable populations in medicine and public policy, but it's harder to find a more vulnerable population than those who are dying.
‐‐ Nicholas A. Christakis
It's fashionable with the Sarah Palin set to attack Harvard and treat its graduates as elitists. But if you spend any time on campus, you see students drawn from all over the world - an astonishing number these days with roots in Asia - whose chief assets are brainpower and hard work.
‐‐ David Ignatius
It's fatal to talk about acting. It sounds faintly ridiculous if you start analysing it.
‐‐ Jim Broadbent
It's fear of being afraid that frightens me more than anything else.
‐‐ Jerome Cady
It's feasible that we'll meet other sentient life forms and conduct commerce with them. We don't now have the technology to physically travel outside our solar system for such an exchange to take place, but we are like Columbus centuries ago, learning fast how to get somewhere few think possible.
‐‐ Dimitar Sasselov
It's feast or famine in showbiz.
‐‐ Joan Rivers
It's Fendi. French, Fendi, both start with an F... I fell in love with it. Smells like grown-man cologne.
‐‐ French Montana
It's Fifty, not Fiddy.
‐‐ Curtis Jackson
It's filled with... baking soda. Because it really smells.
‐‐ Kate O'Brien
It's financially advantageous to make a picture in Berlin, Germany. They have a very effective rebate system.
‐‐ Joel Silver
It's finding those nonsensical pieces of conversation that we all do all the time. We do all the time. When we're talking on the telephone, there are arguments with people who agree when they both think that they disagree.
‐‐ Barry Levinson
It's finding time for each other. That's the trick to any relationship, you know. Finding time to really be present for each other.
‐‐ Liev Schreiber
It's fine if you're making 1,000 or 2,000 of an electric car, and I think there is value in that in a lot of ways, but it's not going to have a big dent in oil consumption in the country, or CO2 emissions.
‐‐ Rick Wagoner
It's fine to celebrate success but it is more important to heed the lessons of failure.
‐‐ Bill Gates
It's fine to do movies and say, 'We made big grosses,' but you've got to go back and ask, 'How much did it cost?' and 'Where do you make your profit?'
‐‐ Lee Rich
It's fine to get paid and get a big verdict, but to go out and represent people, sometimes in unglamorous ways, is really what lawyering is all about.
‐‐ Janet Reno
It's fine to have anal sex as long as you're not in high school.
‐‐ Mia Kirshner
It's fine to have armed guards, but don't then tell everyone else they can't own a gun.
‐‐ Alana Stewart
It's fine to have social media that connects us with old friends, but we need tools that help us discover new people as well.
‐‐ Ethan Zuckerman
It's fine to have talent, but talent is the last of it. In an acting career, as in an acting performance, you've got to have vitality. The secret of successful acting is identical with a woman's beauty secret: joy in living.
‐‐ Rosalind Russell
It's fine to seek professional help, but I urge everyone - no matter how big their portfolio - to truly understand every suggestion they're given before acting.
‐‐ Suze Orman
It's fine to work on any problem, so long as it generates interesting mathematics along the way - even if you don't solve it at the end of the day.
‐‐ Andrew Wiles
It's fine when you careen off disasters and terrifyingly bad reviews and rejection and all that stuff when you're young; your resilience is just terrific.
‐‐ Harold Prince
It's flattering if people think I'm attractive. If it helps, great, but it's not going to get in the way of me wanting to win. That's what I'm all about.
‐‐ Lorrie Fair
It's flattering that there are lots of Internet fan sites about me. I'm a bit of a technophobe and I don't even own a laptop, but it's probably a good thing I'm not logged on, checking up on what everyone is saying about me.
‐‐ Jonas Armstrong
It's flattering to be compared in any way to Tiger Woods, because he's the best player in the world.
‐‐ Ivan Lendl
It's flattering to make a picture which becomes a classic within 10 years; it's not so flattering, however, when people get the impression it's the only picture you've ever made.
‐‐ Robert Hamer
It's flattering to people who stop you and say that you've helped them and all. But, again, you know, you've got to stay humble because as quick as you came up, you can come down.
‐‐ Joel Osteen
It's fool's gold if you are winning games and are not playing the right way.
‐‐ Antonio Davis
It's foolish to call Chanakya an Indian Machiavelli. Rather, Machiavelli was possibly an Italian Chanakya.
‐‐ Ashwin Sanghi
It's football season; anything can happen.
‐‐ Troy Brown
It's for all the women who embrace my aesthetic, but can't afford a Vera Wang dress. If women can get anything out of it - a little bit of me or a lot of me, that's what's important.
‐‐ Vera Wang
It's for scientists to lay out the data and lay out what they think, and then it's for the public to make up its own mind. We don't live in a priesthood where some small group imposes its views on other people - that's not the way that science works, and it's not the way a democratic society should work.
‐‐ Venkatraman Ramakrishnan
It's for the Palestinians to decide who will lead them.
‐‐ Ami Ayalon
It's for us to take care of the air we breathe and the water we drink. And I do believe we have an impact on that, and we do have the ability to change it if we make the decision to.
‐‐ Scott Kelly
It's fortunate that I am a writer, because that has helped me understand the properties of words. They are what have made life complex. In the battle for status in the animal kingdom, power and aggressiveness have been all-important. But among humans, once they acquired speech, all that changed.
‐‐ Tom Wolfe
It's Frank's painting on the cover. We were originally going to use a Salvador Dali painting that we got permission from Salvador Dali to use, and Frank found this one, and it really did fit the music much more.
‐‐ Alice Cooper
It's free of hip dialing. You can have some pretty confidential conversations and not get overheard by the camera man by talking into this flip phone.
‐‐ Jerry Jones
It's freeing to not be caught up in your own personal baggage.
‐‐ Diane Paulus
