People

The world is getting more connected through technology and travel. Cuisines are evolving. Some people are scared of globalization, but I think people will always take pride in cultural heritage.
It's important for us to latch onto the people that we love.
We cannot teach people anything; we can only help them discover it within themselves.
Technology is notorious for engrossing people so much that they don't always focus on balance and enjoy life at the same time.
I say what I want to say and do what I want to do. There's no in between. People will either love you for it or hate you for it.
If you're OK with being clumsy, it's funny. But if you are super embarrassed, people are going to laugh at you.
People don't notice whether it's winter or summer when they're happy.
The most important thing is to live an interesting life. Keep your eyes, ears and heart open. Talk to people and visit interesting places, and don't forget to ask questions. To be a writer you need to drink in the world around you so it's always there in your head.
I don't look to find an educated person in the ranks of university graduates, necessarily. Some of the most educated people I know have never been near a university.
The cost of college education today is so high that many young people are giving up their dream of going to college, while many others are graduating deeply in debt.
You can make more friends in two months by becoming really interested in other people, than you can in two years by trying to get other people interested in you.
Famous people are deceptive. Deep down, they're just regular people. Like Larry King. We've been friends for forty years. He's one of the few guys I know who's really famous. One minute he's talking to the president on his cell phone, and then the next minute he's saying to me, 'Do you think we ought to give the waiter another dollar?'
Despite everything, I believe that people are really good at heart.
The most common way people give up their power is by thinking they don't have any.
Powerful people cannot afford to educate the people that they oppress, because once you are truly educated, you will not ask for power. You will take it.
I'm always happy for people when I see God blessing them the way he's blessed me.
As a 9th grader, I competed with the high school kids and out of 600 people, I finished 10th.
I am not afraid of aging, but more afraid of people's reactions to my aging.
We all want to be famous people, and the moment we want to be something we are no longer free.
Despite everything, no one can dictate who you are to other people.
