  4451. "It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity." - Cesar Chavez

Obviously, this is a message we need to hear." - Joyce Meyer

  10086. "There are pros and cons of experience. A con is that you can't look at the business with a fresh pair of eyes and as objectively as if you were a new CEO.

  10477. "The ebulliently sharp mind of 'White Christmas' director Walter Bobbie made me tremble and strive in the same breath.

  10512. "When I first heard 'A Christmas Story, the musical,' I thought, Oh, that could be really good. It just felt like it fit.

  10516. "When I was in high school, I used to have breakfast with my grandpa every morning. He instilled a lot of values in me: hard work, loyalty.

  11138. "It is always weird to be in the studio working on Christmas music in June and July, so we decorated the entire studio, we really did.

  11146. "My mom had me at 16 and took me every place she went. I remember going on peace marches. She tried to take me to Woodstock - it was pouring rain.

But it's hugely rewarding as you're fulfilling something for yourself." - Niklas Zennstrom

  12674. "I remember while I was at school some of my Muslim friends talked about a handful of people spoiling things in every culture. Hatred or hurt or pain isn't specific to a religion.

I come up here in the morning to a pleasant room in the roof of my house and imagine I'm a black South American football superstar; then I have to imagine I'm a female pop celebrity who's pregnant. It's a completely mad way to spend your time." - Mal Peet

  12735. "Gandhi said it; Frederick Douglass said it. A lot of people have probably said 'It's not Christ that I have a problem with, it's his people.' And that was my struggle: it's God's people.

  13164. "That's what stress management is about, that's what psychotherapy is about, finding religion, or finding your loved one or your hobby - any of those, they give you more outlets, more of a sense of control, more of a sense of predictability, of social support.

  16227. "Prior to getting into music, I interacted with, on a daily basis, about 5-10 percent of the people that I've interacted with since then.

  16245. "It's true in everything, not just in drag: To be a success, you have to understand the landscape. You have to know thyself, and you have to know your history so that you can draw from people who have figured out the equation you are faced with. It's not rocket science." - RuPaul

  16263. "I turn on the radio. I'm a really big fan of old-fashioned dial radio. I love WNYC and NPR and also 88.3 in New York, which is the jazz station, and it's usually good for background music.

  16297. "Mr. Trump's and Mr. Osteen's brands are rooted in success, not Scripture. Believers in prosperity like winners.

  16298. "Skin care is massively important to me. My mom instilled that into my brain from a pretty young age." - Madelyn Cline

  16299. "From my grandmother, I started drinking warm water with lemon every morning just before breakfast. That's something she has been doing for years. It has helped me a lot with digestion.

  16328. "Character is the ability of a person to see a positive end of things. This is the hope that a man of character has." - Tom Landry

  16329. "I definitely think my ancestry has something to do with my politics.

For this I am grateful." - Clayton Christensen

  16356. "I write for a radio show that, no matter what, will go on the air Saturday at five o'clock central time.

  16522.

  16643. "Achievers have an enabling attitude, realism, and a conviction that they themselves were the laboratory of innovation. Their ability to change themselves is central to their success.

  16651. "I'm a Sufi Muslim, I would say. I believe in using the medium to create a good vibration because art is so important to society.

  16652. "I had creative control over my character, which means if they wanted me to do something that I didn't agree with, then I wouldn't do it. If it was good for the show, then I had no problem.

  16667. "Personally, I can't see the appeal in trekking down to D.C. for a networking extravaganza, even if it is built around a special moment in American history.

  25293. "When I first heard 'A Christmas Story, the musical,' I thought, Oh, that could be really good. It just felt like it fit.

  25294. "I love Christmas. I never used to. I didn't hate it, but I could take it or leave it. But, as I got to the age of 25 or 26, Christmas became quite a big deal, and I love it now. I love the food, and I love sharing time with people." - James McAvoy

  25299. "I like to decide the night before Thanksgiving that I'm gonna do it, and I'll see what riff raff is around. Then I get that last-minute surge of energy. But if I had two weeks to plan, sometimes I wish I wasn't doing it. But very seldom does that happen." - Amy Sedaris

  25309. "One morning, about four o'clock, I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought, Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable, and it came to me: I'm falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with." - June Carter Cash

  25338. "In 'Chappie,' you see this sort of young robot that's learning through maybe 'deep learning' how to see the world really, look out into the world, and learn step by step.

  25381. "Achievers have an enabling attitude, realism, and a conviction that they themselves were the laboratory of innovation. Their ability to change themselves is central to their success.

  25382. "For success, attitude is equally as important as ability." - Walter Scott

  25383. "I suppose the Church would be perfect only if it were run by perfect beings. God is perfect, and His doctrine is pure. But He works through us - His imperfect children - and imperfect people make mistakes." - Dieter F. Uchtdorf

  25916. "Marxism, Freudianism, global warming. These are proof - of which history offers so many examples - that people can be suckers on a grand scale.

"That's what stress management is about, that's what psychotherapy is about, finding religion, or finding your loved one or your hobby - any of those, they give you more outlets, more of a sense of control, more of a sense of predictability, of social support.

  25997. "When I first heard 'A Christmas Story, the musical,' I thought, Oh, that could be really good. It just felt like it fit.

  25998. "If you look at the history of technology over a couple hundred years, it's all about time compression and making the globe smaller. It's had positive effects, all the ones that we know.

  25999. "Hosting the Olympic Games of course guarantees the world's attention, but there is more to it than simply bathing in the global spotlight.

  26896. "The first thing I do after I wake up is a morning meditation. It's just as I awake and before I open my eyes.

  27530. "It really depends, but, generally speaking, just because of the mechanics of it, voice-over is easier because there is no hair, no makeup, no wardrobe, no fittings, no line memorizing.

So we're lucky it is just a lighthearted Christmas tune." - Alaska

  29678. "In my opinion, the motion picture is the greatest medium of expression ever invented. It embraces all the other arts.

  29698. "When I was in Cardiff, playing with the National Orchestra of Wales, they said they get letters from people complaining if they're smiling during the concert. Nuts, isn't it?

  29769. "The ideal direction is using something like Khan Academy for every student to work at their own pace, to master concepts before moving on, and then the teacher using Khan Academy as a tool so that you can have a room of 20 or 30 kids all working on different things, but you can still kind of administrate that chaos." - Sal Khan

  30326. "Before I refuse to take your questions, I have an opening statement." - Ronald Reagan

When it comes to food and drink, predictability can console." - Bee Wilson

Most of it's just whining, but every so often there'll be something I can use later: a joke, a description, a quote. It's an invaluable aid when it comes to winning arguments.

  31123. "If I'm pushed, I'd also have to admit I don't like people with allergies. They just annoy me. There seems to be something far too self-centred about it. 'No thanks, I'm allergic.'

  31158. "I think it's because all our music videos have chubby girls wearing crazy makeup and crazy gay dudes and trannies that are overly stylized and over-the-top. Being compared to John Waters and girl groups isn't a bad thing, though." - Hunx

  31174. "Democracy is a revelation, but it's complicated. There are elections to hold, politics to create, rights to assert, grievances to settle and institutions to build.

  32762. "My idea is simply - is very simple - is that the books of poetry should be published in far greater volume and be distributed in far greater volume, in far more substantial manner. You can sell in supermarkets very cheaply. In paperbacks. You can sell in drugstores." - Joseph Brodsky

  33914. "I like happy endings in movies. I think life has a happy ending. When it's all said and done, it's all something worthwhile, and I want my movies to reflect that. There are enough things to be sad about. When you pop in a movie, let the message be one that's one of hope." - Jon Favreau

  34694. "Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic.

  35517. "For children, diversity needs to be real and not merely relegated to learning the names of the usual suspects during Black History Month or enjoying south-of-the-border cuisine on Cinco de Mayo.

I care about aesthetics, and I love filmmaking." - Ari Aster

  35532. "Uncontrolled, the hunger and thirst after God may become an obstacle, cutting off the soul from what it desires.

  35537. "When I review my contract, it is to make sure that I am not going to get in trouble or not paid. Then afterward, people say, 'Did you make sure they gave you a green room,' and I'm like, 'No, I didn't get any of the cool stuff.'" - Katie Nolan

  35538. "A guy is a lump like a doughnut. So, first you gotta get rid of all the stuff his mom did to him. And then you gotta get rid of all that macho crap that they pick up from beer commercials. And then there's my personal favorite, the male ego." - Roseanne Barr

  35580. "I've been encouraging documentary filmmakers to use more and more humor, and they're loath to do that because they think if it's a documentary it has to be deadly serious - it has to be like medicine that you're supposed to take. And I think it's what keeps the mass audience from going to documentaries." - Michael Moore

  35591. "Where there is no human connection, there is no compassion. Without compassion, then community, commitment, loving-kindness, human understanding, and peace all shrivel.

  35635. "Matangi's mantra is aim, which is MIA backwards. She fights for freedom of speech and stands for truth, and lives in the ghetto because her dad was the first person in Hindu mythology who came from the 'hood, but had gained enlightenment through not being a Brahmin." - M.I.A.

  35651. "I prefer to win titles with the team ahead of individual awards or scoring more goals than anyone else.

  36581. "When a politician like Marco Rubio is willing to sacrifice his career defining immigration reform legislation solely to insure that gays and lesbians are denied equal protection under the law, we have to admit that we're under attack.

  36600. "I had a somewhat religious upbringing. Not strict, but it was there, and I'm kind of thankful for that.

  36601. "In countries with a properly functioning legal system, the mob continues to exist, but it is rarely called upon to mete out capital punishment.

  37380. "I was 17 when my body started changing, and I worried about what I did wrong. I went through a period where I didn't eat at all.

  37756. "Every person is a God in embryo. Its only desire is to be born." - Deepak Chopra

  37878. "For me, playing music while I write is important. Several of the romantic scenes in 'Paris' were written with Debussy's 'String Quartet,' his 'L'Apres-midi d'une Faune,' or Canteloube's 'Songs of the Auvergne' playing in the background." - Edward Rutherfurd

  37879. "In art and dream may you proceed with abandon. In life may you proceed with balance and stealth." - Patti Smith

It's a society where relationships are built on love." - Myles Munroe

Our culture is very much about that; we are never happy with what we have today." - Tom Ford

  38384. "The truly unique trait of 'Sapiens' is our ability to create and believe fiction. All other animals use their communication system to describe reality.

  38619. "It's all about the sensuality of movement, every movement you make. That's why I love doing action movies. It's all about movement, dance - even if you're hitting someone in the face.

And I think that both professions are perhaps rather lonely." - John le Carre

  38625. "Here's how I see obesity: as a symptom. The larger problem is over-consumption.

And I don't mind." - Marilyn Monroe

  40589. "My last vivid boyhood fright from books came when I was 15; I was visiting my uncle and aunt in Greenwich, and, emboldened by my success with 'The Waste Land,' I opened their copy of 'Ulysses.'

Who knows; you might find love in the second relationship." - Bipasha Basu

  40999. "It infuriates me that when people forget what it's like not to be a Christian, and they get into other people's face about their life or their beliefs. It's amazing to me that people feel their relationship is so solid with God that they have enough time on their hands to question mine or to fix mine." - John Schneider

  41000. "'Bellyache' is totally fictional. I like writing about things that aren't real.

You still have to get the job done." - Johny Hendricks

  41017. "To many people, 'biodiversity' is almost synonymous with the word 'nature,' and 'nature' brings to mind steamy forests and the big creatures that dwell there. Fair enough.

  42749. "I've never crashed a wedding. When I was a kid I, of course, used to crash parties.

  42767. "The word 'racist' is a permanent stain against my name. It's worse than a criminal record. Some people will never forgive me.

  43016. "I didn't speak much Italian. I did a few courses so I knew a bit before I got there but you have to be there to learn.

  43717. "Radical Islamic jihadists have a long-term vision. And if they have to stay in Europe to obtain a citizenship, to ultimately travel to the United States, and if it takes them five years or ten years, they're okay with that. History has proven that." - Jeff Duncan

  43743. "With just one polka dot, nothing can be achieved. In the universe, there is the sun, the moon, the earth, and hundreds of millions of stars.

  43766. "The rarity is the sudden epiphany or single turning point showing you with dramatic clarity that your marriage is over, although that does happen.

I feel like that doesn't happen that much anymore." - Ariana Grande

  43776. "In fact, technology has been the story of human progress from as long back as we know. In 100 years people will look back on now and say, 'That was the Internet Age.' And computers will be seen as a mere ingredient to the Internet Age." - Reed Hastings

That patience is a wonderful virtue." - Johnny Mathis

  43809. "You don't need a specialty lame (French for 'blade') to make professional-level bread at home, but it certainly helps in creating those telltale slash marks.
