You know, out-of-touch liberals like Barack Obama say they want a strong economy, but in

everything they do, they show they don't like business very much. But the economy, of course, is simply the product of all the businesses of the nation added together. So it's a bit like saying you like an omelet, but you don't like eggs. Mitt Romney

I didn't really care if I had a coach that much, me personally, because I was brought up to think for myself. Billie Jean King

Everybody kind of perceives me as being angry. It's not anger, it's motivation. Roger Clemens

Many believe - and I believe - that I have been designated for this work

by God. In spite of my old age, I do not want to give it up; I work out of love for God and I put all my hope in Him. Michelangelo The greatest problem all around the world today, whether in America, Japan, China Russia, India or anywhere else in the world, is that people are not in peace. People want peace. Prem Rawat Through selfless work, love of God grows in the heart. Then through his grace one realize him in course of time. God can be seen. One can talk to him as I am talking to you. Ramakrishna A wartime Minister of Information is compelled, in the national interest, to such continuous acts of duplicity that even his natural hair must grow to resemble a wig. Claud Cockburn I think she said I should seek help. Something like that, but it was in much cruder terms. And that I had a fascination with things coming out of people's mouths. Sam Raimi You know, if you're lucky enough to have two smash hit shows, the traffic of the world goes through your dressing r...

When I was 14, in Cuba, I met Fidel Castro with my dad, and it

was really impressive. And on a totally different level, I met Justin Timberlake! Dylan Penn I have family members that are bipolar. Trai Byers I'm a reluctant writer of non-fiction, in part because I don't really feel qualified. William Gibson The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart. Oscar Wilde I became fascinated by the fact that people write to give away rather than write to be read. It's the difference between playwrights and novelists. David Suchet People sometimes ask me to name the greatest coach in NFL history. George Halas may have set the standard, but Don Shula has won more games than anyone, and he has done it in the most competitive era. He had an incomparable ability to evaluate players, to motivate them, and to teach them the game of football. Marv Levy I just believe if you don't believe in God, then ...

The natural movement of one's soul is upwards. But just as any object is dragged

down when a heavy weight is tied to it, the burden of the body drags down the soul. Vinoba Bhave It is funny the two things most men are proudest of is the thing that any man can do and doing does in the same way, that is being drunk and being the father of their son. Gertrude Stein Meditation on inevitable death should be performed daily. Every day one should meditate on being carried away by surging waves, falling from thousand-foot cliffs, dying of disease. Yamamoto Tsunetomo The awards world can be ridiculous, but I'm not one to bash it. I love awards! When I've been nominated for Emmys and when I won my DGA Award, I couldn't have been happier. I always liked getting a gold star in class. Paul Feig But in another, I think a woman's going to go into a shop to find a coat or a jacket and I just don't think she's not going to go into a shop because of a bad review she probably didn't even read. Marc Jacobs Baking is how you start kids at cook...

You know, we live in a time when if somebody wants to kill you, they're

going to kill you, and you can either go in a hole and, you know, pull the roof in over you, or you just continue putting one foot in front of the other and hope that you're doing some good in the world. Gene Robinson I grew up watching 'Superman.' As a child, when I first learned to dive into a swimming pool, I wasn't diving, I was flying, like Superman. I used to dream of rescuing a girl I had a crush on from a playground bully. Tom Hiddleston Honestly, when I had the idea to make 'An Inconvenient Truth,' and I was going out and raising the money, and I said, 'I want to make a movie about Al Gore's slide show, will you give me a million dollars?' People thought I was insane, looked at me cross-eyed. Lawrence Bender I came up from growing up with a lot of Catholic guilt, a lot of punk rock, hipster guilt in the later years where I think people have thrown a lot of things on me. Where I always felt like I'm not supposed to tell the horn ...

Women are clearly the major consumers in far more than just female categories. It doesn't

matter whether it is purchases of cars, cosmetics, or even products for men, female consumption power is the leading consumption power in the world. Any company that overlooks the woman as the decision maker is making a huge mistake. Andrea Jung Politics goes in one ear and out the other. I don't even know the president's name for sure. That's how stupid I am. Brian Wilson Even though some in our government may claim that civil liberties must be compromised in order to protect the public, we must be wary of what we are giving up in the name of fighting terrorism. Lucille Roybal-Allard We will often talk to Liz Smith about couples and relationships because she always has an inside track, too. Mary Hart People have the power to redeem the work of fools. Patti Smith I'm definitely a practicing Hindu. Julia Roberts In the 21st century, I think the heroes will be the people who will improve the quality of life, fight poverty and introduce more sustainabilit...

Dancers use their bodies in extraordinary ways, so we are chronically pre-arthritic, because of how

we use our muscles and our bones. Judith Jamison I have always admired women that have a strong sense of self, complemented by femininity. I especially appreciate the presence of these women in traditionally male-dominated industries, such as real estate. Ivanka Trump They're trying to put data centers in cold environments because they're actually generating so much heat now; they're using up so much electricity. Rick Smolan We're all used to seeing pretty people. I want to see real people. Amy Sedaris The type of thing that one person would get mad at, another person would laugh at, is a good kind of zone to be in. Nathan Fielder I love performing in front of people, no matter where they come from or what language they speak. Juanes My father has always been interested in discarding the past. He's never much liked China or the whole idea behind China or Chinese ways of thinking. He's always been much more attracted to American ways of thinking...

The writing is really important in books that affect me. I read for

the writing. The story is usually of less interest to me. It's the words that break your heart. James Salter Every view, and every object I studied attentively, by viewing them again and again on every side, for I was anxious to make a lasting impression of it on my imagination. Karl Philipp Moritz Some people come alive at night. I'm hopeless by 9 p.m. Coffee and Cadbury buy me an extra half hour. Often I can't get my clothes off I'm so far gone. Emily Mortimer People who say, 'Let the chips fall where they may,' usually figure they will not be hit by a chip. Bernard Williams In America today, the percentage of children and adolescents who are defined as overweight is more than double what it was in the early 1970s. Lois Capps Life is not about making dough or how many movies you can make in a year. It's about finding someone that you can share things with. Freddie Prinze, Jr. Cinematography is infinite in its possibilities... much more so...

Early investment in the lives of disadvantaged children will help reduce inequality, in both the

short and the long run. James Heckman A lot of people, sometimes they're so stuck on, 'I gotta get married, I gotta get married.' They forget that the really important thing is to have a healthy home, a healthy family, a healthy environment for your kids and to have everything going in a good, peaceful way. Camila Alves There's no first impressions anymore. You go to a job interview, and they'll probably Google you. It's a shame - people should play it a little closer to the chest as far as what information they release to the world. If I'm angry about something, I'm not going to take to my Twitter. Patrick Stump I've always loved short stories. Even before I was a writer, I was reading short stories - there were certain writers where I just felt like they could do in a short story what so many writers needed a whole novel to do, and that was really inspiring to me. Molly Antopol I can't work all day and then go home and hang out with...

I'm always amazed when a pitcher becomes angry at a hitter for hitting a home

run off him. When I strike out, I don't get angry at the pitcher, I get angry at myself. I would think that if a pitcher threw up a home run ball, he should be angry at himself. Willie Stargell All the world wondered as they witnessed... a people lift themselves from humiliation to the greatest pride. Corazon Aquino Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed. Samuel Johnson How is the world ruled and led to war?

Environmental activism against the resource industry is widespread all over the world, but at the

same time we have to realise that these are basic materials on which civilisation depends. We need to tap natural resources in a sustainable manner. Anil Agarwal I went with the old adage that you should write what you know. What I knew was 18th century Britain, so what I decided I would do is write a novel based on my dissertation research. David Liss I speak to the black experience, but I am always talking about the human condition. Maya Angelou It's every manager's dream, I suppose, to build a team by coaching young players of 15 to 17. That's why I started a youth scheme. Matt Busby Speeches are much easier if you read them. I just find when I do that, it's harder to fire up the crowd. Donald Trump I can never turn my creativity off. Casey Wilson Movies were invented for Jimmy Cagney, and he was invented for the movies. A perfect match. Clint Eastwood Unfortunately, I'm allergic to all animals and even some people. Wentworth Miller
