The big secret to winning elections is to get more votes than your opponent. My

friend Representative Robin Hayes is a good example to study.
Jesse Helms

The only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
Albert Schweitzer

I think I always wanted to be an actor - sounds a bit boring, doesn't it? And I pretended once that I wanted to be a vet because one of the teachers asked me and saying you want to be an actor sounds a little bit silly. And I do still feel a bit silly saying it. You feel a bit fraudulent.
Sophie Thompson

As friends go it is less important to live.
Rutherford B. Hayes

I don't feel sorry for myself.
Kevin Pietersen

I enjoy writing. I enjoy that kind of process.
Caroline Kennedy

Golf is social. It brings a lot of people together.

I don't really see myself as an actor.

I call it an old-fashioned seafood house for the new millennium. We are trying to

update what we know as old fish houses and places like that, which are great, but I want to give it a new, fresh look with updated versions of the classics we all love. Todd English Poor men's reasons are not heard. Thomas Fuller Had Calhoun been advised by me, he would have been the most popular man in the United States. Duff Green The secret to humor is surprise. Aristotle I'm always looking for a low-budget script with an interesting character to play. Walter Koenig I dream of you to wake; would that I might Dream of you and not wake but slumber on. Christina Rossetti Honor among thieves is the ancestor of all honor. John McCarthy

This battle for 'common-sense' gun control laws pits emotion and passion against logic and reason.

All too often in such a contest, logic loses. So, expect more meaningless, if not harmful, 'gun control' legislation. Good news - if you're a crook. Larry Elder I drive a lot. Just for pleasure. Sometimes I'll get in the Cadillac and drive around the city or the country, kind of trying to get lost basically. Y'know, just see where roads lead. Frank Black You and I will meet again, When we're least expecting it, One day in some far off place, I will recognize your face, I won't say goodbye my friend, For you and I will meet again. Tom Petty We must dare to think 'unthinkable' thoughts. We must learn to explore all the options and possibilities that confront us in a complex and rapidly changing world. J. William Fulbright Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose - a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye. Mary Shelley Never make friends with people who are above or below you in status. Such fr...

When I was 17, I worked in a mentoring program in Harlem designed to improve

the community. That's when I first gained an appreciation of the Harlem Renaissance, a time when African-Americans rose to prominence in American culture. For the first time, they were taken seriously as artists, musicians, writers, athletes, and as political thinkers. Kareem Abdul-Jabbar I only make movies that are interesting to me. Brian Grazer I wouldn't say I was organised at all. I just have to prioritise. Is it more important for them to be organised, or to have their dinner, do you know what I mean? Jo Brand The courage in journalism is sticking up for the unpopular, not the popular. Geraldo Rivera A happy life must be to a great extent a quiet life, for it is only in an atmosphere of quiet that true joy dare live. Bertrand Russell I think Mick Jagger would be astounded and amazed if he realized that to many people he is not a sex symbol, but a mother image. David Bowie I enjoy my job as long as I can create a character, otherwise it's boring. Jav...

There is constant talk about the intermarriage crisis: who is a Jew and how

we define a Jew. That doesn't go over well with young Jews trying to figure out whether they want to be a part of this thing or not. Tahl Raz I've been studying voice for quite a while, especially opera, for at least seven or eight years. Shelly Burch Like anything, I remember who I work for. You work for the people who sent you to office. Darryl Glenn For the bourgeoisie, the main danger against which it had to be protected, that which had to be avoided at all costs, was armed uprising, was the armed people, was the workers taking to the streets in an assault against the government. Michel Foucault My grandmother is a huge part of my life. She's just a great woman: a woman of the church. Chance The Rapper I don't think we can fix poverty without fixing housing, and I don't think we can address housing without understanding landlords. Matthew Desmond One of my best friends since I was eleven years old is a gay man, and I knew his struggle. It was a tough life, you ...

As a Midlander and a big walker, I'd always loved ridge and furrow

fields, the plough-marked land as it was when it was enclosed. It is the landscape giving you a story of lives that ended with the arrival of sheep. Jim Crace I think it's really rare to see women on television who are brilliant, selfish, vain, fallible - and I feel like I have all those capacities in myself, so it's good to see people in the media representing all of those things. Kerry Bishe I never went after fame. It fell into my lap. Caitlyn Jenner My mom and dad were actors when they were younger and had a horrible experience of it. My dad became a literary agent and my mom a casting director. Daniel Radcliffe I have this idea of trying to catalog all the genes on the planet. Craig Venter The wind from the Kingdom of Heaven has blown all over the world, and shall blow for centuries yet. George William Russell I always said if I played a drag queen, I'd want to create a template with the realness they talk about in 'Paris Is Burning.' Billy P...

Persuasiveness is really just about getting your ideas across without being forceful.

It's a skill that can be learned and is useful for anyone who works in a team environment. Amanda de Cadenet I was an extra in a Tia Carrere music video. Adam Scott When people start to think they're figuring out 'The Vampire Diaries,' it switches on you. Kat Graham It's a huge blessing to know you've done something that has affected people the way 'The Matrix' has. It's like, there's 'Star Wars,' and then there's 'The Matrix.' It's cool to be a part of that. Laurence Fishburne Voters aren't asking to be pandered to and aren't asking to be tricked. Jason Kander I'm a pretty controlled and disciplined person, but my real vice is buying plants and food shopping. Zac Posen Barack Obama was a president who understood not only how technology could transform the way government services worked but also technology itself. He got it. Steven Levy Positivity, confidence, and persistence are key in life, so never give up...

I do everything I can to have a diverse career because I just want to

have options. I know that I can do Hamlet or I can do Stanley Kowalski, you know. Sam Rockwell I've been pretty good about keeping my nose to the grindstone. I feel like I won a lot of matches from hard work and persistence, even maybe when I had better options as far as shot-making. Andy Roddick When I want to render these fine nuances, I do not find them in the subject, but in the nature of women in real life who seek unhealthy emotions and are too stupid even to understand the horror in the most appalling situations. Gustave Moreau There are those who leave without our needing to detain them; we have said all there is to say. Richard Eyre I worried that people wouldn't like me. Now I try not to worry and focus on being happy. Lea Michele Americans are pragmatic, relatively uncomplicated, hearty and given to broad humor. Herb Caen I honestly think that's one of the greatest motivators of art - the fear of not making great art. Jason McCoy The two citi...

I was fat-shamed the other day on a British newspaper. The headline was 'Four Bellies and a

Turkey Neck.' They weren't wrong. I looked shocking. Hugh Grant The 'Maze Runner' family, we all just really genuinely love each other. Dylan O'Brien Illinois' economy will benefit from the modernization of the power sector. Tammy Duckworth I played sports. I had boyfriends. I loved high school. Ann Coulter The thing is, with me, my life is a catwalk. Cam'ron My wife has her own career and has been successful as well. The key for our success is mutual support for each other. Brad Schneider I think you cannot be too complacent. I think that's dangerous, and you cannot take anything for granted. James Wan It is very important for an actor to look physically attractive. R. Madhavan I cannot write in isolation. I write with people around me. Ravi Subramanian When you walk into a room, and you're the only one of something - the only woman or the only African American - that immediate feeling of loneliness happens. Stacy Brown-Philpot I was a dog man. I ...

I've always known that I'm very, very ordinary looking. But I'm not alien looking. I

am an artist here to play characters. Dhanush There are direct paths to a successful career. But there are plenty of indirect paths, too. So many young people I speak to nowadays think that the only way to get to such a career is by the direct path; but that really only makes sense in certain circumstances. Clayton Christensen I grew up outside Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, in a little town, and went to a regular high school. I was a... very average student in that high school. Then I joined the Navy, and while I was in the Navy, I was in a motorcycle accident and woke up deaf in a hospital. I. King Jordan I think that you can love people without it being the great love. Taylor Swift The people want government that works for them at every level. Gloria Macapagal Arroyo Money doesn't buy happiness. But happiness isn't everything. Jean Seberg Growing up in a band is weird - you get stuck hanging on to what it is you think you are. But what I took into Depeche was ...

We have a spirit of working together, and we have a passion for cars. And

we also have a great desire to see the Ford name in the forefront of world transportation. William Clay Ford, Sr. At the end of 2000, most investors were optimistic that a return to quick gains could not be far off. Alex Berenson I'm a big fan of 'Orphan Black,' and to be one of the original cast members is something that will always be dear to me. Michael Mando I could've shot the whole East Village, because it was and is my neighborhood. But Seventh Street is precious to me. Josh Pais I went to Dave Eggers with this idea of doing a movie about a guy going through some sort of Frank Capra-esque journey. John Krasinski Everything I write is about big feelings. What I care about is trying to be brave enough to feel how you feel and to be emotionally true. Margaret Stohl I really like watching myself a lot because it gives me an opportunity to see it from outside the flesh, and when I view it like that, I can be a lot more cynical and see the things that...
