“I am the largest market shareholder of clothing in the UK and I am not a destination shop for food. If the clothing market is affected - and it has been - and I hold my market share mathematically, then fine, I am doing no worse than the market is doing, which is exactly the case, but I'm losing revenue.” IfsHas BeensCasesShareFineLosingShopsDestinationAffectedClothingsRevenueShareholders Author:Stuart Rose

“My success has been something I've worked a long time at and it's been a gradual process. I compare it to the idea of someone losing a lot of weight over a period of a few years.

“Power. like the diamond, dazzles the beholder, and also the wearer; it dignifies meanness; it magnifies littleness; to what is contemptible, it gives authority; to what is low, exaltation. To acquire it, appears not more difficult than to be dispossessed of it when acquired, since it enables the holder to shift his own errors on dependents, and to take their merits to himself. But the miracle of losing it vanishes, when we reflect that we are as liable to fall as to rise, by the treachery of others; and that to say "I am" is language that has been appropriated exclusively to God!” GivingHas BeensFallLanguageDifficultAuthorityLosingLowsMiracleErrorsMeritAcquireDiamondLiableMeannessTreacheryBeholderExaltationDazzle Book:Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think Source: Lacon: Or Many Things in Few Words, Addressed to Those who Think
“The world in the past has been ruled by force, and man has dominated over woman by reason of his more forceful and aggressive qualities both of body and mind. But the balance is already shifting—force is losing its weight and mental alertness, intuition, and the spiritual qualities of love and service, in which woman is strong, are gaining ascendancy. Hence the new age will be an age less masculine, and more permeated with the feminine ideals—or, to speak more exactly, will be an age in which the masculine and feminine elements of civilization will be more evenly balanced.” MenWorldMindHas BeensReasonBodyAgePastSpiritualSpeakStrongForceQualityBalanceCivilizationElementsLosingIdealsWeightIntuitionFeminineAggressiveBalancedNew AgeMasculineShiftingMind And BodyAlertnessMasculine And FeminineAscendancy Author:Abdu'l-Bahá
