You must do as your people do. If my people are poor, I must be poor. People ask me, 'Why don't you find a personal coach or a private car?' I can't. Then I won't be part of my people.

And I loved Fats Waller. I love his instrumental abilities, his vocal abilities and his sense of humor.

Bill Murray

He was, first and last, the born fighter, to whom the consciousness of being matched against a great adversary suffices and who can dispense with success. Life for him was an adventure, perilous indeed, but men are not made for safe havens. The fullness of life is in the hazards of life. And, at the worst, there is that in us which can turn defeat into victory.

The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.

John Gielgud

Violence is unnecessary and costly. Peace is the only way.

Julius Kambarge Nyerere

Sometimes you're famous before you're good.

Maggie Q

Every man wishes to be wise, and they who cannot be wise are almost always cunning.

Samuel Johnson

It is as impossible to withhold education from the receptive mind, as it is impossible to force it upon the unreasoning.

Agnes Repplier

We tend to be judged because of our actions.
