People who follow all the rules and chase every trend tend to get forgotten — they look great, but they're not as memorable.
Meanwhile, parents, students and teachers all report higher satisfaction with charter schools. People like them. They cost less money. They raise the academic achievement of poor kids. Go ahead, get a little enthused.
'What will people say?' is a feeling every Indian girl grows up with.
Some people believe that fairness comes with obeying the rules. I'm one of those people.
People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
I love performing, and I love being in front of people. I love the pressure you get and the pleasure performing brings.
You know, there's a real irony in U.S. assistance programs. First of all, I think it's misnamed. We're not so much trying to help people as we're trying to help ourselves. So let's be clear about this. So these are — in my view, they're cold calculations of national security and not aid programs.
Human greatness does not lie in wealth or power, but in character and goodness. People are just people, and all people have faults and shortcomings, but all of us are born with a basic goodness.

The Constitution preserves the advantage of being armed which Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation where the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms.
In Japan, I was immensely impressed by the politeness, industrious nature and conscientiousness of the Japanese people.
Study how water flows in a valley stream, smoothly and freely between the rocks. Also learn from holy books and wise people. Everything — even mountains, rivers, plants and trees — should be your teacher.
If two people believe in the same story, they might be thousands of miles apart and total strangers, but they still have a sense they can trust each other.
Everyone has their own path in life, no matter if it's being a celebrity or a singer. Quite frankly, I didn't move to Nashville and tell myself I wanted to be a singer because I wanted to be a celebrity or I wanted to be somebody that people admired. I wasn't about that. I just loved music.
When dealing with people, remember you are not dealing with creatures of logic, but creatures of emotion.
