3 December 2020 Jon Hamm I got into acting because my teachers kept nudging me into it. The power a teacher has to influence someone is so great. I can’t think of a profession I have more respect for.
3 December 2020 Benjamin Banneker Evil communication corrupts good manners. I hope to live to hear that good communication corrects bad manners.
3 December 2020 Jean Paul Strong characters are brought out by change of situation, and gentle ones by permanence.
3 December 2020 Peter Singer When fish experience something that would cause other animals physical pain, they behave in ways suggestive of pain, and the change in behaviour may last several hours.
3 December 2020 Winston Churchill If you have an important point to make, don’t try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time – a tremendous whack.
3 December 2020 David R. Brower It is absolutely imperative that we protect, preserve and pass on this genetic heritage for man and every other living thing in as good a condition as we received it.
3 December 2020 Rutherford B. Hayes The progress of society is mainly the improvement in the condition of the workingmen of the world.
3 December 2020 Leona Lewis I get such lovely gifts from fans… amazing pictures, handmade jewellery. I’m very lucky!
3 December 2020 William Osler Observe, record, tabulate, communicate. Use your five senses. Learn to see, learn to hear, learn to feel, learn to smell, and know that by practice alone you can become expert.
3 December 2020 Malcolm Forbes When things are bad, we take comfort in the thought that they could always get worse. And when they are, we find hope in the thought that things are so bad they have to get better.
3 December 2020 Ken Livingstone There needs to be radical development in equality law to create the environment to allow women to stay in work.
3 December 2020 Michael J. Fox If I don’t get food in my mouth, I’m still happy. If my pants are round my ankles, as long as I don’t get arrested for indecent exposure, I’m happy. I’m worried about keeping my hair, not how it’s combed.
3 December 2020 Henri Frederic Amiel Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
3 December 2020 Pharrell Williams I have an all-Japanese design team, and none of them speak English. So it’s often funny and surprising how my ideas end up lost in translation.
3 December 2020 Andy Rooney I don’t like food that’s too carefully arranged it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I’d buy a painting.
3 December 2020 John Eaton I think one of the greatest enemies in the use of technology, however, is the idea that if you use the technology you have to throw other things out of the window.
3 December 2020 Ray Stevenson Nobody wakes up in the morning thinking, ‘I’m a bad guy.’ They think they’re the right guy.

3 December 2020 Honore de Balzac Wisdom is that apprehension of heavenly things to which the spirit rises through love.
3 December 2020 Roy Rogers I’m an introvert at heart… And show business – even though I’ve loved it so much – has always been hard for me.
