3 December 2020 Rory McIlroy Home will always be Northern Ireland but my schedule means for the next few years I won’t be there as much. I can’t do the same things that I did a year ago. That is I’m something conscious of, but I’m not sad about it. It’s fine.
3 December 2020 Eliot Spitzer I stand before you today because this vision of government as the engine of opportunity is what I believe in.
3 December 2020 Nadia Giosia We got Martha Stewart legitimizing homemaking for her generation, and then there’s this return to being interested in all things home, lifestyle, and food again. I think this generation is less about the frills and more about the flavor of things.
3 December 2020 Ralph Waldo Emerson A chief event of life is the day in which we have encountered a mind that startled us.
3 December 2020 Meryl Streep The interesting thing about being a mother is that everyone wants pets, but no one but me cleans the kitty litter.
3 December 2020 Walter Lippmann There is no arguing with the pretenders to a divine knowledge and to a divine mission. They are possessed with the sin of pride, they have yielded to the perennial temptation.
3 December 2020 Courteney Cox A lot of my humor does come from anger. It’s like, you’re not gonna pull one over on me – which is pretty much my motto anyways.
3 December 2020 George Bernard Shaw One man that has a mind and knows it can always beat ten men who haven’t and don’t.
3 December 2020 Eudora Welty Writing fiction has developed in me an abiding respect for the unknown in a human lifetime and a sense of where to look for the threads, how to follow, how to connect, find in the thick of the tangle what clear line persists.
3 December 2020 Plato One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
3 December 2020 Brian Eno I had a lot of trouble with engineers, because their whole background is learning from a functional point of view, and then learning how to perform that function.
3 December 2020 Henry David Thoreau There is always a present and extant life, be it better or worse, which all combine to uphold.
3 December 2020 Alexis Carrel The first duty of society is to give each of its members the possibility of fulfilling his destiny. When it becomes incapable of performing this duty it must be transformed.
3 December 2020 Richard Dreyfuss If I wasn’t an actor, I’d be a teacher, a history teacher. After all, teaching is very much like performing. A teacher is an actor, in a way. It takes a great deal to get, and hold, a class.
3 December 2020 Charles R. Swindoll It is easy for Christians to have the false impression that once we have established a relationship with Christ, which we believe sets us right with God, the problems of life will somehow scoot away or they will slowly be removed from our lives.
3 December 2020 Henry Louis Gates The thing about black history is that the truth is so much more complex than anything you could make up.
3 December 2020 John Adams Power always thinks… that it is doing God’s service when it is violating all his laws.
3 December 2020 Norah Jones I don’t think I’m a great songwriter, but I think I’ve learned a lot about it, and I don’t think there’s any one way to do it. I don’t think I can control it at all. I can just kind of hope that it happens.
3 December 2020 Gary Oldman So Harry Potter came in and it is nice that I have kids of the right age. I took them to London and they walked around the set and met Harry Potter and that is thrilling.
3 December 2020 William Labov An important aspect of the current situation is the strong social reaction against suggestions that the home language of African American children be used in the first steps of learning to read and write.
3 December 2020 Julie Burchill I’ve always thought of beauty therapy, ‘alternative’ treatments and the like as the female equivalent of brothels – for essentially self-deceiving people who feel a bit hollow and have to pay to be touched.
3 December 2020 Karl Popper No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.
3 December 2020 Alexander Payne When you’re a houseguest and you leave, it’s nice to straighten something up or send your hosts a useful gift. And when you leave the planet, it’s nice to have made a positive contribution.
3 December 2020 Katie Price I hate going out in Brighton now. It’s different in London. People respect you more there.
3 December 2020 David Byrne So there’s no guarantee if you like the music you will empathize with the culture and the people who made it. It doesn’t necessarily happen. I think it can, but it doesn’t necessarily happen. Which is kind of a shame.
