3 December 2020 Shia LaBeouf I’m a video game fan, and I always thought it would be cool to be able to control a character.
3 December 2020 Danny Boyle I’d love to do a modern-day musical that’s full of original music. To get your contemporaries to sing and dance without looking foolish and for it to be transformational and magical and all those things a musical is supposed to be.
3 December 2020 Calvin Coolidge We do not need more intellectual power, we need more spiritual power. We do not need more of the things that are seen, we need more of the things that are unseen.
3 December 2020 William J. H. Boetcker That you may retain your self-respect, it is better to displease the people by doing what you know is right, than to temporarily please them by doing what you know is wrong.
3 December 2020 Fred Rogers Play is often talked about as if it were a relief from serious learning. But for children play is serious learning. Play is really the work of childhood.
3 December 2020 Harry Emerson Fosdick Picture yourself vividly as winning, and that alone will contribute immeasurably to success.
3 December 2020 Jimmy Carter I don’t want to tell President Obama how to make a speech. He’s a much better speech maker than I am. But I think always to tell the truth in a sometimes blatant way, even though it might be temporarily unpopular, is the best approach.
3 December 2020 Roy Clark Absolutely the worst thing about this job is the travel and being away from family. I have a wife and three wonderful children, the kids are all active in sports and it’s very difficult to up and leave and miss them growing up.
3 December 2020 Robert A. Heinlein One could write a history of science in reverse by assembling the solemn pronouncements of highest authority about what could not be done and could never happen.
3 December 2020 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Neither a lofty degree of intelligence nor imagination nor both together go to the making of genius. Love, love, love, that is the soul of genius.
3 December 2020 William Cowper Knowledge is proud that it knows so much wisdom is humble that it knows no more.
3 December 2020 Agha Hasan Abedi The conventional definition of management is getting work done through people, but real management is developing people through work.
3 December 2020 Tim Pawlenty I do support enhanced interrogation techniques. Obviously their value is shining through with respect to the bin Laden killing.
3 December 2020 Nathan Deal Nurses are an integral component of the health care system, and it is important that we recognize the over 2.7 million registered nurses for the significant work that they do.
3 December 2020 Robert Frank You do your work as a photographer and everything becomes past. Words are more like thoughts the photographer’s picture is always surrounded by a kind of romantic glamor – no matter what you do, and how you twist it.
3 December 2020 David Antin While I’ve had a great distaste for what’s usually called song in modern poetry or for what’s usually called music, I really don’t think of speech as so far from song.
3 December 2020 Debra Messing I come from the New York theatre world, and I have a lot of gay male friends, so this friendship of Will and Grace’s isn’t such a stretch.
3 December 2020 Joseph Brodsky Cherish your human connections: your relationships with friends and family.
3 December 2020 Ziggy Marley There is a physical relationship with a woman that you don’t have with anybody else, but that’s not about love. Love is a spiritual thing.
3 December 2020 Desmond Tutu Peace comes when you talk to the guy you most hate. And that’s where the courage of a leader comes, because when you sit down with your enemy, you as a leader must already have very considerable confidence from your own constituency.
3 December 2020 Gary Vaynerchuk I’m concerned a little bit with the culture of celebrating the fundraise. My dad taught me that when you borrow money it’s the worst day of your life.
3 December 2020 Maynard James Keenan If the education of our kids comes from radio, television, newspapers – if that’s where they get most of their knowledge from, and not from the schools, then the powers that be are definitely in charge, because they own all those outlets.
3 December 2020 Nellie Bly How can a doctor judge a woman’s sanity by merely bidding her good morning and refusing to hear her pleas for release? Even the sick ones know it is useless to say anything, for the answer will be that it is their imagination.
3 December 2020 Edward Koch The best way to lose weight is to close your mouth – something very difficult for a politician. Or watch your food – just watch it, don’t eat it.
