I would get records by Earl Scruggs... I would tune my banjo down and I'd pick out the songs note by note. Learned how to play that way. I persevered. There was a book written by Pete Seeger who showed you some basic strumming and some basic picking... And I kind of worked out my own style of playing.
Steve Martin
It takes these very simple-minded instructions - 'Go fetch a number add it to this number put the result there perceive if it's greater than this other number' - but executes them at a rate of let's say 1 000 000 per second. At 1 000 000 per second the results appear to be magic.
Steve Jobs
As soon / Seek roses in December - ice in June, / Hope constancy in wind or corn in chaff, / Believe a woman or an epitaph / Or any other thing that's false before / You trust in critics.
Lord Byron
The only guide to man is his conscience, the only shield to his memory is the rectitude and sincerity of his actions. It is very imprudent to walk through life without this shield because we are so often mocked by the failure of our hopes and the upsetting of our calculations, but with this shield however the fates may play we march always in the ranks of honor.
Winston Churchill
I loved doing 'Pennies from Heaven.' Because you have to understand that I'd been doing comedy for 15 to 20 years and suddenly along came the opportunity to do this beautiful film. It was so emotional to me. I loved it. I don't think it was a good career move but I have no regrets about doing it.
Steve Martin
I think it's great. You know, just putting the past behind us, just move on. We had three great years together. I think it was important for the fans to see. It was good for us to be able to put this behind us and move on.
Kobe Bryant
The perfection of our union especially our commitment to equality of opportunity has been a story of constant striving to live up to our Founding principles. This is what Abraham Lincoln meant when he said 'In giving freedom to the slave we assure freedom to the free - honorable alike in what we give and what we preserve.'
Paul Ryan
But suppose God is black? What if we go to Heaven and we all our lives have treated the Negro as an inferior, and God is there and we look up and He is not white? What then is our response?
Robert Kennedy
You feel sometimes when you hear analysts and knowledgeable people talking about Iran that they fear so much about the survival of the regime because deep down it's not a legitimate regime it doesn't represent the will of the people it's kind of morphed into kind of a military theocracy.
