A successful person isn't necessarily better than her less successful peers at solving problems; her pattern-recognition facilities have just learned what problems are worth solving.
Ray Kurzweil

Children that are raised in a home with a married mother and father consistently do better in every measure of well-being than their peers who come from divorced or step-parent, single-parent, cohabiting homes.
Todd Tiahrt

Currently, only 70 percent of our high school students earn diplomas with their peers, and less than one-third of our high school students graduate prepared for success in a four-year college.
Ruben Hinojosa

I really hope my peers appreciate and respect what I'm doing.
Shania Twain

I very much wanted to be accepted by my peers, to be considered a serious journalist.
Jessica Savitch

I was considered by my peers to be a good comedian. So that's all I ever strived to do was get some recognition from my peers.
Ron White

I was never directly pressured by peers, but by surrounding myself with others who were experimenting with smoking provided a certain false comfort.
Christy Turlington

I've watched my peers get better with age and hoped that would happen with me.
Bonnie Raitt

If I had been censured every time I have run my ship, or fleets under my command, into great danger, I should have long ago been out of the Service and never in the House of Peers.
Horatio Nelson

If one thing that bothers me about acting, it's that there's no clear-cut number one. The closest you can get is winning an Academy Award, and I'm going to work on that if it takes me the next 50 years. To my peers, it will mean that I'm the best!
Dana Hill

If there's anything disgusting in the movie business, it is the whoredom of my peers.
Sean Penn

If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself - your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers.
Dee Hock

In my grandfather's lab, scientists did independent research, and peers reviewed and commented on its merits. Politics, he taught me, had no place in the scientific process.
Tammy Baldwin

It used to be that you came out of school, and you got married - those who were going to get married. But my peers are getting married in their early 30s, so now there's like this extra 10 years of that angst.
Zach Braff

It's cool to have critical success because it's always nice for your peers to say, 'Good job.' But who cares about them?
Zac Hanson

It's easy to get next to music theory, especially between your peers and music classes and so forth. You just pay attention. I had a good ear, so I realized that printed music was just about reminding you what to play.
Quincy Jones

It's kinda nice to be remembered by your peers and your fans, because you can achieve a lot of success and be a creep too! But we try to be nice, just normal people.
Karen Carpenter

It's not surprising to see in my own work, looking back, and in the work of some of my peers, an attention to family. It's nice to write a book that does tend toward significance and meaning, and where else are you sure of finding it?
Jonathan Franzen

It's rather like attending a university seminar where you are talking to a few gifted specialists who deliver a paper to an audience of their peers. That's one way of making music.
Gavin Bryars

Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia.
