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

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

I never married because there was no need. I have three pets at

home which answer the same purpose as a husband. I have a dog which growls every morning, a parrot which swears all afternoon, and a cat that comes home late at night. Marie Corelli Pursue some path, however narrow and crooked, in which you can walk with love and reverence. Henry David Thoreau Love is suffering. One side always loves more.

Jordin Sparks When you're a kid growing up, and you think you're gay, you know that you're different; you're often teased and it can really destroy your self-esteem. But sports can be great for building self-esteem. Greg Louganis As history has repeatedly proven, one trade tariff begets another, then another - until you've got a full-blown trade war. No one ever wins, and consumers always get screwed. Mark McKinnon There are no whole truths: all truths are half-truths. It is trying to treat them as whole truths that plays to the devil. Alfred North Whitehead I still can't believe I won the Olympics. That's what I feel right now - completely alive as a human being. It's a really beautiful moment. Clara Hughes Sometimes I test myself saying, 'If I get a death sentence if I don't make this m

I mean, I get letters in the mail because I had a heart defect when

I was one, I had surgeries and stuff. And so you get these letters in the mail that just, they are crazy, they are just like, yes, well our son is dealing with the same thing and we saw you on TV and I mean it is such a cool thing to inspire and kind of give hope. Shaun White My favorite time to dance is at, like, wedding receptions, when it's all ages and everyone seems to be having fun. Neil Patrick Harris Every writer dreams of writing a book that will touch people. Bruce Feiler My father taught me respect for quality as well as a sense of dignity - great values as we face a world going in a different direction. I try to teach my children to stay close to the real things. Diego Della Valle I'll have the chance to do a production number on A Capitol Fourth. Barry Bostwick That's what I miss out of all this synthesized music - it starts to lose dynamics. Glenn Frey Even when one is doing well, one still worries that things might go badly again in the future. Th

Languages and cultures are disappearing at an enormously fast rate, and many of them are

in Canada. These are extreme examples of removal of freedom of expression - to actually lose a language and the ability to express that culture. John Ralston Saul If I had my druthers, I would be a brain in a jar, with a burlap skirt around the cart I'm on - I don't attend to my physical being much. Kate McKinnon In New Zealand, we have a thing called 'tall poppy syndrome,' which, you might not have heard of it, but it's essentially where - it happens in small populations usually, but can actually happen in the U.K. - where, if someone sticks out, they get their head cut off because they are being outside the ordinary or they are showing off. Rhys Darby If they're not talking about you, you're not doing something; you're not doing anything. So if they're talking about you, you may be doing something right. And when they talk bad about you, you just use it for motivation. Paul Pierce When the ball isn't in my hands, I'm already sca

We want to be the go-to business for super-special daywear and eveningwear, to focus on

  what we are known for and what our customers want from us. Giles Deacon For me, it's fine to be aggressive and play hard. As long as you're not getting personal, it's fine, and you can do whatever you can to upset the opposition. Gautam Gambhir President Trump ran on protecting U.S. jobs and renegotiating unfair trade policies - those policies strengthen labor laws around the world. Jan Schakowsky The war in Afghanistan is underreported. Anderson Cooper I watched a lot of old movies. Clint Eastwood movies, a lot of John Wayne films, a lot of movies that celebrated the region of where I lived. Taylor Sheridan The lack of portability and competition has long been a problem in America's insurance market, yet Obamacare took no significant steps to open up the market between state lines. Bill Flores It's hard losing a parent, especially dad because he was always behind me. It was his dream and my dream for me to become a footballer. Riyad Mahrez I think the average cou

My interest in Virtual Reality (VR) films began for me when I began a fellowship

with MIT's Open Documentary Lab. It was a profound experience to be on MIT's campus one day a week and to enter a new world of storytelling where breaking convention and traditional methods were expected. This was deeply challenging and inspiring. Raney Aronson-Rath Richard Madden, I loved to work alongside him; he's a very funny man.

I don't know anyone who actually likes the dark or night-time. I don't care how

much they say it doesn't bother them. That's why we used to huddle in caves and light fires when the sun went down.

James Hogg While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things. Saint Francis de Sales Someone told me that each equation I included in the book would halve the sales. Stephen Hawking

The past is still visible. The buildings haven't changed, the layout of the streets hasn't

changed. So memory is very available to me as I walk around. Jonathan Lethem I cannot consent that my mortal body shall be laid in a repository prepared for an Emperor or a King my republican feelings and principles forbid it the simplicity of our system of government forbids it.

Anthony Rapp When you borrow money, you should always think how you're going to pay it back.

very good boyfriend, but there are times when I'm useless. I mean, I'm a mess around the house. I talk nonstop. I become obsessed with things. Daniel Radcliffe I really like reaching out and seeing the audience - they're potential audiences! And on occasion I can make them excited about going to the theater again, if they've ceased or gone less. Harold Prince The only thing of value I have in this life is my ability to tell a story, whether in print, orating, writing it down or having people acting it out.

We can best honor the memories of those who were killed on September 11 and

those who have been killed fighting the war on terrorism, by dedicating ourselves to building a free and peaceful world safe from the threat of terrorism. Jack Reed Faith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence. Richard Dawkins Look around, and you see everywhere the exertions and acts of individuals restricted, regulated, or promoted, on the principle of the common welfare. Friedrich List One measure of friendship consists not in the number of things friends can discuss, but in the number of things they need no longer mention.
