Successful organizations, including the Military, have learned that the higher the risk, the more necessary it is to engage everyone's commitment and intelligence.
Margaret J. Wheatley
If there were such a thing as terminal literalism, you'd have died in childhood.
Cassandra Clare
I can make a firm pledge, under my plan, no family making less than $250,000 a year will see any form of tax increase. Not your income tax, not your payroll tax, not your capital gains taxes, not any of your taxes.
Barack Obama
I'm really proud of myself because I've pared my beauty regimen down to a cream blush and berry-tinted lip balm, which has saved me so much time.
Katherine Heigl
I was kind of a jock in school. Beauty wasn't something I spent a lot of time on.
Nina Dobrev
If there's specific resistance to women making movies, I just choose to ignore that as an obstacle for two reasons: I can't change my gender, and I refuse to stop making movies.
Kathryn Bigelow
As regards parents, I should like to see them as highly educated as possible, and I do not restrict this remark to fathers alone.
Quintilian
I obviously take a lot of pride in what I do on the football field, because that has the ability to influence a lot of people. That puts smiles on people's faces. That gives people a pep in their step on Monday morning when they go back to work.
Drew Brees
Mysticism, poor mysticism! When it is underestimated and oversimplified, it comes down from its original sphere and stands beside religion.
Sri Chinmoy
It takes a good deal of physical courage to ride a horse. This, however, I have. I get it at about forty cents a flask, and take it as required.
Stephen Leacock
You are educated. Your certification is in your degree. You may think of it as the ticket to the good life. Let me ask you to think of an alternative. Think of it as your ticket to change the world.
Tom Brokaw
I do not share the half-in, half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain's place is in Europe.
Peter Mandelson
My writing is a combination of three elements. The first is travel: not travel like a tourist, but travel as exploration. The second is reading literature on the subject. The third is reflection.
Ryszard Kapuscinski
Part of our essential humanity is paying respect to what God gave us and what will be here a long time after we're gone.
William J. Clinton
No part of the world can be truly understood without a knowledge of its garment of vegetation, for this determines not only the nature of the animal inhabitants but also the occupations of the majority of human beings.
Ellsworth Huntington
I took anatomy classes. I went to medical libraries and talked to doctors and nutritionists. I did the whole thing before using myself as a human guinea pig.
Marilu Henner
Find what's hot, find what's just opened and then look for the worst review of the week. There is so much to learn from watching a restaurant getting absolutely panned and having a bad experience. Go and see it for yourself.
Gordon Ramsay
My mother dreamed dreams for Joaquin and for me long before we could dream them for ourselves.
Julian Castro
He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.
Rabindranath Tagore
The summer of 2002 at the Wilson birthday party I met Van Dyke again and I made plans to have dinner with him.
Matthew Sweet
My parents were what I like to call proper musical fans. Lots of Sondheim was played in the car.
Daniel Radcliffe
If you haven't got any charity in your heart, you have the worst kind of heart trouble.
Bob Hope
People are chasing cash, not happiness. When you chase money, you're going to lose. You're just going to. Even if you get the money, you're not going to be happy.
Gary Vaynerchuk
The greatest failure is that although we have created institutions, we have not created a civil society.
Paddy Ashdown
The sole substitute for an experience which we have not ourselves lived through is art and literature.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
I actually think sadness and darkness can be very beautiful and healing.
Duncan Sheik
In the long run you hit only what you aim at. Therefore, though you should fail immediately, you had better aim at something high.
Henry David Thoreau
Bear in mind North Korea has been the leading source, a leading source of nuclear technology and of missile delivery systems to some of the world's great rogues in Iran and Syria.
Robert McFarlane
It seems to me that the god that is commonly worshipped in civilized countries is not at all divine, though he bears a divine name, but is the overwhelming authority and respectability of mankind combined. Men reverence one another, not yet God.
There are similarities between business and sport, in the pressures involved and in the fitness aspect too.
Peter Shilton
Goodness is the only investment which never fails.
You have a career, and you start as a business person. And you work your way, you reach this peak, and you know the time's going to come when you go back down.
Miranda Lambert
The government of the world I live in was not framed, like that of Britain, in after-dinner conversations over the wine.
When I run in the morning, my body spends the first 20 minutes trying to figure out what's happening to it.
Danny Pudi
Government is at best but an expedient; but most governments are usually, and all governments are sometimes, inexpedient. The objections which have been brought against a standing army, and they are many and weighty, and deserve to prevail, may also at last be brought against a standing government.
The most imaginative people are the most credulous, for them everything is possible.
Alexander Chase
I like movies I can relate to.
Kim Cattrall
This American government -- what is it but a tradition, though a recent one, endeavoring to transmit itself unimpaired to posterity, but each instant losing some of its integrity? It has not the vitality and force of a single living man; for a single man can bend it to his will.
When I hear the hypercritical quarreling about grammar and style, the position of the particles, etc., etc., stretching or contracting every speaker to certain rules of theirs. I see that they forget that the first requisite and rule is that expression shall be vital and natural, as much as the voice of a brute or an interjection: first of all, mother tongue; and last of all, artificial or father tongue. Essentially your truest poetic sentence is as free and lawless as a lamb's bleat.
Life and human society are the chief concern of Confucianism and, through it, the chief concern of the Chinese people.
