I challenge you to make your life a masterpiece. I challenge you to join the ranks of those people who live what they teach who walk their talk.
Tony RobbinsI weep for the liberty of my country when I see at this early day of its successful experiment that corruption has been imputed to many members of the House of Representatives and the rights of the people have been bartered for promises of office.
Andrew JacksonUse power to help people. For we are given power not to advance our own purposes nor to make a great show in the world nor a name. There is but one just use of power and it is to serve people.
George W. BushOnly the rare individual will turn his full attention towards that divinity. Most people will see only the physical appearance of the chariot its decorations and other such things as the fine raiment put on the sacred image inside the costumes worn by the dancers and musicians and all the sound and color of the festivities.
Sai BabaI don't encourage people to choose any sort of sexuality.
Marilyn MansonI think that people are interested seeing me on the screen.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerOld deeds for old people and new deeds for new.
Henry David ThoreauI'm not going to say I was opposed to the Vietnam War. I'm going to say I'm opposed to war. But I'm also opposed to protests that deny other people their rights.
John WoodenI had a great many sex and love cases where people were absolutely devastated when somebody with whom they were compulsively in love didn't love them back. They were killing themselves with anxiety and depression.

Oliver Wendell HolmesFear defeats more people than any other one thing in the world.
Ralph Waldo EmersonIn almost every profession - whether it's law, or journalism, finance, or medicine, or academia, or running a small business - people rely on confidential communications to do their jobs. We count on the space of trust that confidentiality provides. When someone breaches that trust we are all worse off for it.
Hillary ClintonAnd now the shoe's on the other foot. When I was going through it I wanted people to be patient with me. I'm just reciprocating.
Kobe BryantYou know let's put it this way if all the people in Hollywood who have had plastic surgery if they went on vacation there wouldn't be a person left in town.
Michael JacksonI have a horror of people who speak about the beautiful. What is the beautiful? One must speak of problems in painting!

Ansel AdamsBefore machines the only form of entertainment people really had was relationships.
Doug CouplandYou have to be careful about how much you reveal to people that look up to you so much.
Lady GagaThere are patriots who opposed the war in Iraq and there are patriots who supported the war in Iraq. We are one people all of us pledging allegiance to the stars and stripes all of us defending the United States of America.
Barack ObamaI figured out why I'm not getting seriously rich. I write newspaper columns. Nobody ever makes newspaper columns into Major Motion Pictures starring Tom Cruise. The best you can hope for with a newspaper column is that people will like it enough to attach it to their refrigerators with magnets shaped like fruit.
Dave BarryYou can stroke people with words.
F. Scott FitzgeraldI never set out to be weird. It was always other people who called me weird.
Frank ZappaRarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think.
Martin Luther King, Jr.I argue very well. Ask any of my remaining friends. I can win an argument on any topic against any opponent. People know this and steer clear of me at parties. Often as a sign of their great respect they don't even invite me.
Dave BarryI stand here before you not as a prophet but as a humble servant of you the people.
Nelson MandelaMost people have no idea of the giant capacity we can immediately command when we focus all of our resources on mastering a single area of our lives.
Tony RobbinsWhy do we never expect dull people to be rascals?
Mason CooleyIt is very clear that the people in Afghanistan do not want the Taliban back.
Hillary ClintonPeople who treat other people as less than human must not be surprised when the bread they have cast on the waters comes floating back to them poisoned.
James Arthur BaldwinI knew I was a winner back in the late sixties. I knew I was destined for great things. People will say that kind of thinking is totally immodest. I agree. Modesty is not a word that applies to me in any way - I hope it never will.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerIt is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.
Nelson MandelaI was always such a people-watcher. I would sit on street corners alone and watch people and make up stories about them in my head. Then all of a sudden I was the one being watched.
Alanis MorissetteI don't think I ever thought of myself as Superman. But there were people who thought of me that way and maybe I believed them a little.
EminemIf people knew how hard I worked to get my mastery it wouldn't seem so wonderful at all.
MichelangeloNew York is a theme park for people with IQs over 108.
Doug CouplandEach generation wants new symbols new people new names. They want to divorce themselves from their predecessors.
Jim MorrisonGays are some of the nicest kindest most loving people in the world.
Joel OsteenI was doing these performance art pop music pieces in the city. And they were a bit on the eccentric side I suppose. So people started to call me Gaga after the Queen song 'Radio Gaga.'
Lady GagaPeople of genius do not excel in any profession because they work in it they work in it because they excel.
William HazlittThese people live again in print as intensely as when their images were captured on old dry plates of sixty years ago... I am walking in their alleys standing in their rooms and sheds and workshops looking in and out of their windows. Any they in turn seem to be aware of me.
Ansel AdamsI know I was a generic dysfunctional child but I think a lot of people are.
Henry RollinsThis is my 25th year of being on stage. A lot of people who I kind of toed up to the starting line with are no longer in this position. I feel very very lucky.

Dave BarryGovernment does not create wealth. The major role for the government is to create an environment where people take risks to expand the job rate in the United States.
George W. BushI don't like to beat people down. They need to be lifted up.
Joel OsteenI think people should just leave it the hell alone. Move on.
Kobe BryantAs individuals people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
Steve JobsOne of my favorite philosophical tenets is that people will agree with you only if they already agree with you. You do not change people's minds.
Frank ZappaSome lives are highly artificial. People are sunk in fear and anxiety, mentally on one side and physically on the other they have no rest. Drugs tablets capsules and pills are produced in millions but the general health has not improved. Besides new varieties of illness have emerged and are developing fast.
Sai BabaPeople think that I must be a very strange person. This is not correct. I have the heart of a small boy. It is in a glass jar on my desk.
Stephen KingSo while an incredible amount of progress has been made on this fifth anniversary I wanted to come here and tell the people of this city directly: My administration is going to stand with you - and fight alongside you - until the job is done. Until New Orleans is all the way back all the way.
Barack ObamaWe ought to recognize that religious strife is not the consequence of differences among people. It's about conflicts between creation stories.
E. O. WilsonSome people ... question the propriety of calling God by means of ... a multiplicity of names. But each name is indicative of only one aspect of Divinity. It denotes a single part of the Supreme Personality ... Every name is but a facet a part a ray of the Supreme.
Sai BabaMost people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.
William JamesYou can make positive deposits in your own economy every day by reading and listening to powerful positive life-changing content and by associating with encouraging and hope-building people.

Bill CosbyThe way you see people is the way you treat them and the way you treat them is what they become.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIf one by one we counted people out For the least sin it wouldn't take us long To get so we had no one left to live with. For to be social is to be forgiving.

Bill CosbyThe President is the people's lobbyist.
Hubert H. HumphreyI'm not interested in people positioning me next to other artists.
Lady GagaAfter the 9/11 apocalypse happened in New York City people particularly New Yorkers who breathed in the ash or saw the results of that have a tendency to keep seeing echoes and having flashbacks to it.
Stephen KingI think that wealthy white people would like to have a country that resembles the Fifties when all the minorities were tucked away in ghettos and paid in very low wages but on the surface it was very bright and shiny and free and the rest of the world would look on it longingly.
Alice WalkerPeople crushed by laws have no hope but to evade power. If the laws are their enemies they will be enemies to the law, and those who have most to hope and nothing to lose will always be dangerous.
Edmund BurkeThe courage to face the trials and to bring... possibilities into the field of interpreted experience for other people to experience that is the hero's deed. We have only to follow the heros path and where we had thought to find abomination we shall find a God. And where we had thought to slay another we shall slay ourselves... Where we had thought to travel outward we will come to the center of our own existence. And where we had thought to be alone we will be with all the world.
Joseph CampbellI installed a skylight in my apartment... the people who live above me are furious!
Steven WrightThe people never give up their liberties but under some delusion.

Dwight D. EisenhowerPeople with goals succeed because they know where they're going.
Earl NightingaleA man has to learn that he cannot command things but that he can command himself, that he cannot coerce the wills of others but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth, people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
James AllenWe must open the doors of opportunity. But we must also equip our people to walk through those doors.
Lyndon B. JohnsonThere was a power outage at a department store yesterday. Twenty people were trapped on the escalators.
Steven WrightOn account of being a democracy and run by the people we are the only nation in the world that has to keep a government four years no matter what it does.
Will RogersThere's a lot of thought in art. People get to talk about important things. There's a lot of sex, you know, in art. There's a lot of naked women and men and there's intrigue there's fakery. It's a real microcosm of the larger world.
Steve MartinTo write what is worth publishing to find honest people to publish it and get sensible people to read it are the three great difficulties in being an author.

Rush LimbaughWe are a forward-looking people and we must have a forward-looking government.
Arnold SchwarzeneggerPeople have to stop employing illegal immigrants.
Hillary ClintonI have a respect for manners as such they are a way of dealing with people you don't agree with or like.
Margaret MeadAll people know the same truth, our lives consist of how we choose to distort them
Woody AllenIf language is not correct, then what is said is not what is meant; if what is said is not what is meant, then what must be done remains undone; if this remains undone morals and art will deteriorate, if justice goes astray the people will stand about in helpless confusion. Hence there must be no arbitrariness in what is said. This matters above everything.
ConfuciusThe over-all point is that new technology will not necessarily replace old technology, but it will date it. By definition. Eventually it will replace it. But it's like people who had black-and-white TVs when color came out. They eventually decided whether or not the new technology was worth the investment.
Steve JobsAt one point I learned transcendental meditation. This was 30-something years ago. It took me back to the way that I naturally was as a child growing up way in the country rarely seeing people. I was in that state of oneness with creation and it was as if I didn't exist except as a part of everything.
Alice WalkerPeople need a sacred narrative. They must have a sense of larger purpose in one form or another however intellectualized. They will find a way to keep ancestral spirits alive.
E. O. WilsonIt's not a slam at you when people are rude it's a slam at the people they've met before.
F. Scott FitzgeraldI used to think that anyone doing anything weird was weird. I suddenly realized that anyone doing anything weird wasn't weird at all and it was the people saying they were weird that were weird.
Paul McCartneyMicrophones are just like people if you shout at them they get scared.
Paul McCartneyThey [Young People] have exalted notions because they have not been humbled by life or learned its necessary limitations, moreover their hopeful disposition makes them think themselves equal to great things / and that means having exalted notions. They would always rather do noble deeds than useful ones: Their lives are regulated more by moral feeling than by reasoning / all their mistakes are in the direction of doing things excessively and vehemently. They overdo everything / they love too much hate too much and the same with everything else.

Bertrand RussellI know a lot of people think because we are a first-ring suburban town that we don't have a lot of the environmental issues you may find in a city but the reality is we do have a lot of the same issues that a city has. We both have older neighborhoods and districts that need some help.
James AllenI'll also tell you that five hundred thousand people will die this year of cancer. And I'll also tell you that one in every four will be afflicted with this disease and yet somehow we seem to have put it in a little bit of the background.

Ron PaulIt is not true that people are naturally equal for no two people can be together for even a half an hour without one acquiring an evident superiority over the other.
Samuel JohnsonIf a million people say a foolish thing it is still a foolish thing.
Anatole FranceAs societies grow decadent the language grows decadent too. Words are used to disguise not to illuminate action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.
Gore VidalSome people bear three kinds of trouble - the ones they've had the ones they have and the ones they expect to have.
H. G. WellsMusic is everybody's possession. It's only publishers who think that people own it.

Andy RooneyI like live audiences with real people - virtual reality is no substitute.
Hillary ClintonSome nights it was a melee literally where I'd be standing trying to defend myself for what I was doing. People would be screaming at me to do my old act and getting actually violent and angry at me.
Jim CarreyI have often seen people uncivil by too much civility and tiresome in their courtesy.
Michel de MontaigneThe problem is not that people are taxed too little the problem is that government spends too much.

Thomas SowellTo be able to hold all four majors - the Masters U.S. Open British Open PGA - all concurrently I think is the Grand Slam. But a lot of people have a different opinions on that. People think you have to win it in the same calendar year.

Joseph AddisonWhat the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope... It is not a reflection of all religious people.
Lady GagaBut what we can do as flawed as we are is still see God in other people and do our best to help them find their own grace. That's what I strive to do that's what I pray to do every day.
Barack ObamaYou can't ask for what you want unless you know what it is. A lot of people don't know what they want or they want much less than they deserve. First you have figure out what you want. Second you have to decide that you deserve it. Third you have to believe you can get it. And fourth you have to have the guts to ask for it.
Barbara de AngelisGreat minds discuss ideas, average minds discuss events, small minds discuss people.
Eleanor RooseveltWe want everybody to succeed. You know why? We want the country to succeed and for the country to succeed its people - its individuals - must succeed.
Rush LimbaughWhat a country calls its vital... interests are not things that help its people live but things that help it make war.
Simone WeilI have a profound empathy for people who are in the public eye whether they manifest it themselves or whether it happened by accident - it doesn't matter to me. I think there's a great misunderstanding of what it is to be famous.
Alanis MorissetteTime is very precious to me. I don't know how much I have left and I have some things that I would like to say. Hopefully at the end I will have said something that will be important to other people too.
Jim ValvanoAnd Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values like you work hard for what you want in life. That your word is your bond, that you do what you say you're going to do. That you treat people with dignity and respect even if you don't know them and even if you don't agree with them.
Michelle ObamaIn the human condition occasionally Maya enters and subjects people to various tests. Do not submit to Maya in any way.
Sai BabaWe the People recognize that we have responsibilities as well as rights, that our destinies are bound together, that a freedom which only asks what's in it for me a freedom without a commitment to others a freedom without love or charity or duty or patriotism is unworthy of our founding ideals and those who died in their defense.

Steve MartinPeople got insights into what was bothering them but they hardly did a damn thing to change.
Albert EllisI think more tolerance more people having more access to a chance to be literate and a chance to stay healthy makes for a more peaceful planet.

Ralph Waldo EmersonPeople only see what they are prepared to see.
Ralph Waldo EmersonSome people feel guilty about their anxieties and regard them as a defect of faith, but they are afflictions, not sins. Like all afflictions they are, if we can so take them, our share in the passion of Christ.
C. S. LewisYes I guess you could say I am a loner but I feel more lonely in a crowed room with boring people than I feel on my own.
