It's harder but we're still finding oil in Oklahoma today. The bar has been raised on startup companies but it can still be done. Every regulation and every rule limits you but yes it can still be done. That's the beauty of living in a free country and having the freedom to have an idea and become an entrepreneur.

When you are at the bottom you find beauty in such little things and goodness in such little gestures. When I compare any struggle today to ones that I may have had in my childhood there is nothing that can bring me down.

I'm proud that today at 43 years old I've come to value the aging process and focus on inner rather than outer beauty.

The game in beauty is changing so much if your product isn't high tech or can't make a unique performance claim - plump your lips reduce your lines look glossy and stay on for 24 hours - you can't go to market today. I'm not just talking about a $20 lipstick but a $5 lipstick!

Our situation today shows that beauty demands for itself at least as much courage and decision as do truth and goodness and she will not allow herself to be separated and banned from her two sisters without taking them along with herself in an act of mysterious vengeance.

I think we have become obsessed with beauty and personally I'm really saddened by the way women mutilate their faces today in search of that.

Because if one is writing novels today concentrating on the beauty of the prose is right up there with concentrating on your semi-colons for wasted effort.

Today I see beauty everywhere I go in every face I see in every single soul.

Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today so beauty is something that changes with time.

Through loyalty to the past our mind refuses to realize that tomorrow's joy is possible only if today's makes way for it that each wave owes the beauty of its line only to the withdrawal of the preceding one.
