The difference between us and them, between you and success, is not that you never

fail, but it's how you recover from those failures - is that you keep getting up time and time again. You figure out what you did wrong, and then you make it right. I say that to my kids every day.Michelle Obama

The film I did with Bobby De Niro, 'The King of Comedy' - an awful lot came to me out of that movie because De Niro never allowed me any room to be crazy. If I had tried to play it the way I would normally play it and get hysterical, Bobby would punch me.Jerry Lewis

I like to give pennies to children, but unfortunately, a man cannot do these things if he lives in a small village or town where his face is known and seen every day. For children take advantage, as I know to my cost, and would gather round him like hens around a farmer when he scatters grain.W. H. Davies

The more you're real with people, and the more you let people help you, the more they get to understand how you operate as an entrepreneur. The stronger that relationship is, then the more likely there's a future together in that relationship.David Cohen

G-Dragon is a fancy person. People don't expect the upright image of G-Dragon. Kwon Ji Yong is an introvert and has lots of things going on in his head.G-Dragon

I still feel like I'm the girl from Texas.Selena Gomez

Kenzo were celebrating their 30th anniversary, and they did this big, huge show in Paris and invited back all the models who'd walked for them in the 30-year era. How I found myself in the mix, I'll never know.Caitriona Balfe

Once my ears were open to hearing mentions of 'Shark Tank', I was surprised by how many people in our world, even in our industry, tech and finance, loved the show.Chris Sacca

I have a tendency to campaign positively and campaign on issues, not try to tear someone else down.Danny K. Davis

The desperate hunger our president has for approbation has led him to such lengths as claiming that God stopped the rain during his Inauguration. In fact, Mother Nature made sure it rained on Trump's hair the minute he started his speech.Faith Salie

The real question is: How do you react? What do you do next? Evade responsibilities?

Bury yourself in work? What do you do? All three of my novels take up that question, although none gives an answer. David Guterson I've been asked a lot lately if tennis is clean or not. I don't know any more how you judge whether a sport is clean. If one in 100 players is doping, in my eyes that isn't a clean sport. Andy Murray Writing songs has always been hard and easy. It's not always easy when you want it to be, and then sometimes it's just like turning on the faucet. That's just the nature of it. Jeff Tweedy Veterans are driven by the same frustrations that the public has with what is happening in Washington... the fiscal irresponsibility and the financial crisis that our country is facing. Pete Hegseth Americans have discovered the fragility of life, that ominous fragility that the rest of the world either already experienced or is experiencing now with terrible intensity. Jose Saramago Schools across India do not have teachers, libraries, ...

Our present nuclear fusion reactors are classified by the methods used to support the nuclear

fusion reaction, which takes place at a temperature much hotter than the surface of the Sun. Wilson Greatbatch Going to a grammar school, you mixed with all sorts of different types and I used to listen to how they talked. When I did my imitations, I could sound like someone really rough, or I could sound like a cabinet minister. Steve Coogan When there's a terrible illness like AIDS sweeping through, you help people. Bernadette Peters I love myself. Anything that has my name I'm tickled to death. Barbara Corcoran My career in racing started at a very young age in California. Jeff Gordon People who believe in flying saucers are the scrapings from the bottom. Nigel Kneale Children often have a much stronger concept of morality than adults. Nina Bawden Most politicians aren't allowed to express themselves any more. Ken Livingstone I'm pretty good with not being afraid to just go up to people and introduce myself. Elle Fanning I just keep it simp...

During the mission, Walter Jones, a team member was given a package containing bone fragments

by a Lao. The source said they were from a crash site. He presented photographs showing himself in company with others digging around obvious aircraft debris. Bo Gritz Signs of fatigue soon manifested themselves more and more strongly, and slowly the men dropped out one by one, from sheer exhaustion. No murmur of complaint, however, would be heard. Fritz Kreisler It's hard enough to work and raise a family when your kids are all healthy and relatively normal, but when you add on some kind of disability or disease, it can just be such a burden. Patricia Heaton The thing that makes 'Dirty Jobs' different is that it's one of the few shows that portrays work in a way that doesn't highlight the drudgery. Instead, it highlights the humor. Mike Rowe I'm most comfortable with the Southern dialects, really. It's easy, for example, for me to do Irish because we've got Irish heritage where I come from. Brad Pitt Sight and touch, being thus increased ...

I'm an untrained musician. Untrained musicians don't really have any music theory, they don't have

a lot of rules. We break the rules, but it's mostly because we don't know what the rules are. It's easy for us to go to certain places, so I'm not surprised that a lot of people were amused by my songwriting style. Frank Black I don't like to watch golf on television because I can't stand people who whisper. David Brenner I looked at longevity in show business when I was about 13, and the people who seemed to have longevity were the ones who'd spent quite a bit of time learning about what they were doing before they made it. Paul Merton Most of the food imported to Russia came from China. Alex Chiu I can travel anywhere in the world and I can pretty much fit in. Kristin Kreuk I stopped acting because I had other passions I wanted to pursue. Tina Yothers I hate to sound cliche, but I understand why people love to cook. It's fun! Jacob Young What do you spend $200 million on, with a film? I can't wrap my brain around that one. Tyler Perry...

Sisters are always drying their hair. Locked into rooms, alone, they pose at the mirror,

shoulders bare, trying this way and that their hair, or fly importunate down the stair to answer the telephone. Phyllis McGinley When our Lord says, we must be converted and become as little children, I suppose he means also, that we must be sensible of our weakness, comparatively speaking, as a little child. George Whitefield There's no dancing girls. We're kinda like secondary to the thing. It's a story about these two guys that are in love with this one girl and how it unfolds and what happens. Eric Carr There are men who would quickly love each other if once they were speak to each other; for when they spoke they would discover that their souls had only separated by phantoms and delusions. Ernest Hello If you believe you can, you probably can. If you believe you won't, you most assuredly won't. Belief is the ignition switch that gets you off the launching pad. Denis Waitley Sanity calms, but madness is more interesting. John Russell If there is...

My parents were not at all backstage parents. We had none of that in the

family. It was just very clear right away that I was an actor, even from 4 years old. I've never waited a table. I taught some - I'll teach classes in improv or Shakespeare, but there's some motor in me that needs to do that. John Michael Higgins The public don't know what they want; it's my job to tell them. Alec Issigonis Toward the end of my pregnancy, I felt really big - I gained about 40 pounds, which is a lot for my size. Christina Aguilera Pop music is not a threatening style of music. Joan Jett A man's got to take a lot of punishment to write a really funny book. Ernest Hemingway Tech executives have historically been owners of significant portions of their companies' stock so there is a propensity for them to diversify as a rule. David Coleman X-Men is massive, like nothing I've ever experienced. But great in its own way. Ellen Page The writer knows his own worth, and to be overvalued can confuse and destroy him as an artist...

Let us embrace Science and the new technologies unfettered, for it is these which will

liberate mankind from the myth of god, and free us from our age old fears, from disease, death and the sweat of labor. Claude Vorilhon Everyone wants to work in America. Maybe not blockbusters or Terminator, but to have the choice. Eva Green It doesn't make a difference what temperature a room is, it's always room temperature. Steven Wright I've written a book on gangs, taught a course on gangs at Occidental. Tom Hayden Always do what you are afraid to do. Ralph Waldo Emerson Human cloning is coming. Mike Pence And, if there was any responsibility in refusing to obey, he was willing to accept it. John Bigelow

The Vedanta recognizes no sin it only recognizes error. And the greatest error, says the

Vedanta is to say that you are weak, that you are a sinner, a miserable creature, and that you have no power and you cannot do this and that. Swami Vivekananda Outside of a dog, a book is a man's best friend. Inside of a dog it's too dark to read. Groucho Marx Usually a poem takes shape accoustically - a line or a pair of lines will repeat itself in my ear. Thomas Lynch Unbeing dead isn't being alive. e. e. cummings In life, as in chess, forethought wins. Charles Buxton Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed. Mahatma Gandhi Understanding is nothing else than conception caused by speech. Thomas Hobbes

I haven't always acted or reacted in a way that made me proud,

but I didn't make that same mistake twice, and I think that's what I love about adversity is that it always reminds me of what's really valuable in life. Sandra Bullock Many of the crew members I work with and continue to work with were friends or have become close friends, and so we keep working together. And I like casting friends of mine or people I know in parts I know would be perfect for them. I like to bring things and people that mean something to me in to my work. Noah Baumbach I've had shows as a painter, as a photographer, I've done shows as a sculptor. I've done a lot of different things and it all comes from experiences that you have in your life, in your creative environment. They all help - I don't even know if they help; maybe they make it worse but they all influence each other, for sure. Norman Reedus It's very different working with all adults. I have a swear jar so that, if they have a potty mouth, I make them pay. That's...

My father's record collection was full of New Orleans music of all kinds. I used

to listen to the radio in New York, and all there was on it at the time was Madonna and Michael Jackson, so it sort of passed me by. Madeleine Peyroux Between us and the writers, it was comedy hour the whole time. We could hardly get through it. Buddy Rice I never let any of my sons beat me at videogames. Coolio I love such mirth as does not make friends ashamed to look upon one another next morning. Izaak Walton It is impossible to be a mathematician without being a poet in soul. Sofia Kovalevskaya Am I really cool? You're telling me I'm cool? Well, that's good to hear. Paul Giamatti You don't paddle against the current, you paddle with it. And if you get good at it, you throw away the oars. Kris Kristofferson
