From age 16, I lived and breathed wine. I read every magazine and book about wine. – Gary Vaynerchuk
You have to respect your parents. They are giving you an at-bat. If youre an entrepreneur and go into the family business, you want to grow fast. Patience is important. But respect the other party… My dad and I pulled it off because we really respect each other. – Gary Vaynerchuk
I want to sit with 80- and 90-year-old people more than anyone. They have played this game before. Not one of them has told me, I wish I had more money. – Gary Vaynerchuk
My dad is like a cactus – introverted and tough. Im a people person, like my mom, but I got my competitiveness from my dad. He came to this country from Belarus with nothing and built a real business. Hes my hero for giving me that need to run a business and for having enormous confidence in me. – Gary Vaynerchuk
Growing old is not a gradual decline, but a series of drops, full of sorrow, from one ledge to another below it. But when we pick ourselves up we find our bones are, after all, not broken; while level enough and not unpleasing is the new terrace which lies unexplored before us. – Logan Pearsall Smith, “Age and Death,” Afterthoughts, 1931
I have behind me not only the splendid traditions and the annals of more than a thousand years but the living strength and majesty of the Commonwealth and Empire of societies old and new of lands and races different in history and origins but all, by Gods Will, united in spirit and in aim. – Queen Elizabeth II
