I would not, under any circumstances, try to impose my personal faith and belief on

the rest of the country. I don't think that's right. I don't think that's appropriate.
John Edwards

I do my work and do the best I can. I'm quite happy with my anonymity. All I can ever hope for is that I continue to do great work that will be remembered, and I leave my imprint so that my son can say proudly, 'That's my dad!'
Eamonn Walker

I asked my kids, 'Do you know what Papa used to do.' They said, 'You were a boxer, you won the Olympics!' And that's what they know.
Sugar Ray Leonard

My philosophy is that you sell things for more than you bought them.
Sophia Amoruso

Sometimes I loved the disruptive student in class who livened up lectures with wisecracks - it put a spin on things, added flavor, made me laugh. Other times, I wished the heckler would just shut up so I could learn something.
Kaui Hart Hemmings

It's kind of crazy to think I'm still 22 and going into my fifth season. Time has been flying by. I think it's about that time I really take the next step to the elite level.
Patrick Kane

Everyone thinks I'm this jock of a woman, but I didn't play any sports. I didn't even let my kids play baseball because I was afraid they were going to get hit by balls.
Patti Hansen

Cultural values are, in themselves, neutral as well as universal, and so much depends on how individuals or ethnic groups use them. Values are influenced by so many factors such as geography, climate, religion, the economy and technology.
F. Sionil Jose

Perhaps our imagination needs crime stories to fulfill some craving we have, as a way to assuage a darkness in ourselves.
James Nesbitt

My life has been a dream. If someone had to write a story about it, it would seem a little unreal. It's the kind of story I would read and say, 'Nah, that's not possible.'
Ralph Lauren

Back in the 1970s, Kodak tried to give $25m to a black civil rights organisation in Rochester, New York. The company's shareholders rose up in arms: making this politically charged offering wasn't the reason they had entrusted Kodak with their money. The donation was withdrawn.

Priority is placed on the chastity of women. You can be corrupt, or a murderer

and still hold your head up high on the street without problems, whereas if there are any suspicions of your chastity and moral behaviour as a woman, you get lynched. Safak Pavey You have to say now that space is something. Space can vibrate, space can fluctuate, space can be quantum mechanical, but what the devil is it? Leonard Susskind I don't think Russia could start a war by attacking any of the NATO member states. Milos Zeman Like every artist that comes out, you want to make a mark; you want to be a household name and you want to be someone that people are going to look back in ten years/fifteen years' time and go, 'I love this guy Olly Murs. He was brilliant back in the day; he was someone I really, really liked.' Olly Murs Fundamentally, the basis of all modern progress is the efficiency of labor. And the only sure road to restored prosperity is through the thrift and hard work of our people as a whole. Charles M. Schwab May we treasure the divine...

In 1969, we decided we had to do certain things technically to

win, and we decided to do them then, even though we knew some of the personnel couldn't do it. In other words, instead of adapting the system to the players, we just installed our system. Then we set out to fill our team through the draft. Chuck Noll Al Sharpton is not important. He's nothing more than a black pawn in a very sophisticated white economic chess game. Byron Allen Art should not be bound by barriers or language. The Hindi film industry is a testament to that. We speak only Hindi, but we premiere in Germany and Japan. Our films do phenomenally well there. We transcend the barriers of language and culture. We welcome you in. I think that's what art should be, and I hope America reaches that place. Priyanka Chopra Main characters should grow and change during the course of a story. Leigh Michaels 'Sweetback' represented an economic tour de force because I had no partners; I own it. Melvin Van Peebles It's not natural to ou...

I miss my friends in London, and I really miss New York. But I also

miss the stability of staying in one place and being able to just open a drawer if you've run out of sticky tape and chuck a new roll in the holder. Essie Davis In German history, we don't have many reasons to be proud. Helmut Kohl I would have thought technology would have made it harder to do what I did. Frank Abagnale Where there is humility, there is more success, and lasting success. Patrick Lencioni The public has been told repeatedly that terrorism is 'evil,' which it undoubtedly is, and that 'evildoers' are responsible for it, which doubtless they are. But beyond these justifiable condemnations, there is a historical void. Zbigniew Brzezinski A politician and a government should be judged by one way only: on the record of what you do or did, not on what you say. Shimon Peres Sometimes I wake up and look in the mirror and am like, 'Whoa!' I don't know if I'm having more fun, but I'm having a lot of fun. Natalia Dyer ...

I knew I had to write a good screenplay to be taken seriously, and I

knew I needed to present Mississippi on visuals instead of just saying, 'Hey I wanted to film it in Mississippi.' It would seem like it was a hometown boy just wanting to be home. Tate Taylor Dyslexia, though, made me realise that people who say 'but you can't do that' aren't actually very important. I don't take 'no' too seriously. Richard Rogers We don't have an Official Secrets Act in the United States, as other countries do. Under the First Amendment, freedom of the press, freedom of speech, and freedom of association are more important than protecting secrets. Alan Dershowitz We don't leave home without my daughter's doll La-La. She looks like a bit of a rag, but India is obsessed with her. Georgina Chapman I like a certain style of show, I like a certain pace, I like a rhythm, I like a lot of comedy in with my drama. Amy Sherman-Palladino Fool! Don't you see now that I could have poisoned you a hundred times had I...

Of-course we did, but we didn't reply because we knew once this leaks the others

will scatter, so in the few days we moved quickly before the press got hold of it. The press did get hold of it a few days later, we nabbed, we were able to get 15, the others got away. Lee Kuan Yew I never quite understand why we watch the news. There doesn't really seem much point watching somebody tell you what the news is when you could quite easily listen to it on the radio. John Hurt The old idea of a composer suddenly having a terrific idea and sitting up all night to write it is nonsense. Nighttime is for sleeping. Benjamin Britten Bigotry murders religion to frighten fools with her ghost. Charles Caleb Colton I love to go to Washington - if only to be near my money. Bob Hope Every silver lining has a cloud. Mary Kay Ash But in reality we are accompanied by the whole dancing universe. Ruth St. Denis

I like being able to go to the cinema and sit and spend time observing something without

thinking about plot or what one character is saying. I feel like I'm able to connect on a much more profound level. David Lowery State assaults on the separation of church and state are nothing new. Adam Cohen I have great people who help me be on time, but I'm not an on-time person, and I'm very chaotic in my thoughts. Trudie Styler I love what I do for a living, but the other side, that aspect of being famous or a celebrity's got zero interest to me. Jeffrey Dean Morgan We must reject not only the stereotypes that others have of us but also those that we have of ourselves. Shirley Chisholm The Church is not fully Church if it lacks dialogue. Blase J. Cupich The men and women of the American military have the courage to follow orders. They deserve a commander-in-chief with the courage to give them. Jason Kander Things for me really started to click right after my third year in the league. I sort of figured out that there were a few things that I needed to do if I want...

I was a tomboy. In my clubbing days, my friend Lucy Davies-Hunt - half-Iranian, looked

like Yasmin Le Bon - could wear catsuits, while I was the one in the sweatshirt, jeans, and Fila boots. Maxine Peake My roots are documentaries. David L. Wolper Paolo Maldini never won, but he was the best defender in the world. Gianluigi Buffon never won; he was the best goalkeeper in the world for many years. But this is the story of the Ballon d'Or. Antonio Conte Young entrepreneurs, in general, feel they're too busy running their companies, which I think is a mistake. But once they're older, you see much more of a propensity to be involved in philanthropy. Jeffrey Skoll I thought there was a glitch when they told me that in two or three weeks 'My Church' hit a million streams. Maren Morris The key is that I'm trying to keep growing and trying to keep learning and deepen my connection in every way, in my life, in my work. That's what I do when I look at a role. Forest Whitaker It strikes me as pretty interesting and cool how girls support each other in t...

I try to be in the office as much as possible to get the full

experience working with volunteers, making phone calls, putting out signs - things that the communications director probably normally wouldn't do.Hope Hicks You can raise a good child in a single-parent family, but it's much more difficult.Sam Brownback I always come very motivated to the Grand Slams.Garbine Muguruza I want to do something that people have not seen before... surprise everyone. There has to be variety in work.Shraddha Kapoor Initially, I was a bit hesitant to do the role in 'MTP,' as it was a very serious and aching subject.Nithya Menen I'm trying to change how women think about themselves.Ashley Graham I no longer file expense reports, so I no longer experience the pain of it. What if everyone had a virtual assistant to do that kind of effort... like approving time off or submitting time-off requests? We want to really encourage developers to create cool things for Slack.Stewart Butterfield Other kids had more talent, but I was ...

I founded Atari in my garage in Santa Clara while at Stanford. When I was

in school, I took a lot of business classes. I was really fascinated by economics. You end up having to be a marketeer, finance maven and a little bit of a technologist in order to get a business going. Nolan Bushnell A writer's ambition should be to trade a hundred contemporary readers for ten readers in ten years' time and for one reader in a hundred years' time. Arthur Koestler But so far as countries are concerned, I don't go to a place to see what's there, but who is there. David McCallum Politics at bottom is not all that complicated. It's all about timing. Mark McKinnon When I wrestled in College, my team was very good. William Baldwin Dating and getting attention from boys was something that came later to me. Rachelle Lefevre I'd rather be able to face myself in the bathroom mirror than be rich and famous. Ani DiFranco If I had parallel lives to pursue, I would also want one as a painter. Norman Spinrad As a kid, I certainly n...

I use the film industry as a pleasure for work and that kind of thing

and it's not a pursuit to make me feel happy in my life. Thandie Newton I warm up. I do about 50 push-ups with my trainer and my security just to get pumped up before a show, get our energy up. And then I just go have fun. Joe Jonas If I start planning then that's dangerous because then I have a target that I'm blinkered towards and I won't listen to the warning signs quite so much. I'd rather be in shape and then look around and say there's a race next week and jump into that than have it planned. Paula Radcliffe All my references are 50 years old-when somebody shot J.R., you know? Oh my god, I'm 100! Lauren Graham Everybody that you could name would join in our audiences from, Laguardia on down. Everybody came. Everybody came to the Cotton Club. Cab Calloway I think performance art comes from a simple place of wanting to express things beyond just sound. Amanda Palmer We should distinguish carefully skepticism about Big Government from co...
