I'm no longer just a candidate. I'm the President. I know what it means to send young Americans into battle for I have held in my arms the mothers and fathers of those who didn't return. I've shared the pain of families who've lost their homes and the frustration of workers who've lost their jobs.
Barack ObamaI think what you're seeing is a profound recognition on the part of the American people that gays and lesbians and transgender persons are our brothers our sisters our children our cousins our friends our co-workers and that they've got to be treated like every other American. And I think that principle will win out.
Barack ObamaThe design of the Mac wasn't what it looked like although that was part of it. Primarily it was how it worked. To design something really well you have to get it. You have to really grok what it's all about. It takes a passionate commitment to really thoroughly understand something chew it up not just quickly swallow it.
Steve JobsI had rather believe all the fables in the Legend and the Talmud and the Alcoran than that this universal frame is without a mind. And therefore God never wrought miracle to convince atheism because his ordinary works convince it. It is true that a little philosophy inclineth man's mind to atheism, but depth in philosophy bringeth men's minds about to religion.
Francis BaconI'm having fun because I don't take it (life) seriously - the only things I care about are my family friends work and my lady Sally. Philosophers for a long time have said 'why are we here?' - I'm here for the entertainment. If you're born in the world you're given a ticket to the freak show, if you're born in America you get a front row seat.
George CarlinThe bottom line is when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities not only are they many times more productive they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.
Stephen CoveyWhat I've discovered is that in art as in music there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie. The artist is essentially creating his work to make this lie a truth but he slides it in amongst all the others. The tiny little lie is the moment I live for my moment. It's the moment that the audience falls in love.
Lady GagaNo party has a monopoly on wisdom. No democracy works without compromise. But when Governor Romney and his allies in Congress tell us we can somehow lower our deficit by spending trillions more on new tax breaks for the wealthy - well you do the math. I refuse to go along with that. And as long as I'm President I never will.
Barack ObamaEvery author in some way portrays himself in his works even if it be against his will.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheIf I don't feel confident about my body I'm not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It's all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work whether it's fitness or whatever. It's about getting up motivating yourself and just doing it.
Kim KardashianAnd 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 ObamaI think I've got my business notions and my sense for that sort of thing from my dad. My dad never had a chance to go to school. He couldn't read and write. But he was so smart. He was just one of those people that could just make the most of anything and everything that he had to work with.
Dolly PartonThe mediator of the inexpressible is the work of art.
Johann Wolfgang von GoetheGood works never languish for want of funds, the Lord will come to their rescue. Only it may take some time, do not lose heart... You should not collect money in devious ways. Help should come from pious hearts from well-earned money from persons who know and appreciate the purpose for which they give. That is why I oppose all benefit shows where you tempt people with a dance or a drama or a film and collect money for your pet plan.
Sai BabaI don't have anything to say about other people's art and their work.
Dolly PartonGetting fired can produce a particularly bountiful payday for a CEO. Indeed he can 'earn' more in that single day while cleaning out his desk than an American worker earns in a lifetime of cleaning toilets. Forget the old maxim about nothing succeeding like success: Today in the executive suite the all-too-prevalent rule is that nothing succeeds like failure.
