Sometimes people take it for granted that they had success, especially nowadays when you have instant stardom. A lot of people feel entitlement and nobody is entitled to anything.

As soon as beauty is sought not from religion and love, but for pleasure, it degrades the seeker.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

Fear of success can also be tied into the idea that success means someone else's loss. Some people are unconsciously guilty because they believe their victories are coming at the expense of another.

Joan C. Harvey

Thought is great and swift and free, the light of the world, the chief glory of man.

Bertrand Russell

You as stupid as they come. Of course, I say this with your best interests at heart. Most people are stupid. I don't hold it against them.

Orson Scott Card

It's a shame that the only thing a man can do for eight hours a day is work. He can't eat for eight hours; he can't drink for eight hours; he can't make love for eight hours. The only thing a man can do for eight hours is work.

William Faulkner

I didn't know this about myself, but when 'Pirates of the Caribbean' came out I realised that I didn't enjoy a huge amount of recognition.

George Glass

I have been accused of being a traitor, and I have been accused of not supporting the military. Nothing could be further from the truth.

Martin Sheen

The secret of life is to appreciate the pleasure of being terribly deceived

Oscar Wilde

I was extended secret service protection during my presidential run in 1984, when I received the most death threats ever made toward a candidate.

Jesse Jackson

Everyone says forgiveness is a lovely idea, until they have something to forgive

C.S. Lewis

Relationships based on obligation lack dignity.

Wayne Dyer
