It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.
There are people who have money and people who are rich.
Some people come into our life as a blessing, while others come into our life as a lesson, so love them for who they are instead of judging them for who they are not.
A people that values its privileges above its principles soon loses both.
Leadership is about doing the right thing, even if it going against a vast number of naysayers and mediocre people.
There are a lot of people who are doing wonderful things, quietly, with no motive of greed, or hostility toward other people, or delusions of superiority.
Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power.
To me, democratic socialism means democracy. It means creating a government that represents all of us, not just the wealthiest people in the country.
Life isn't always really glamorous and fabulous. It's about encouraging people to go back to natural beauty.
Most of what we call management consists of making it difficult for people to get their work done.
I guess some people are brilliant enough to be brilliant on their own and never doubt anything and come up with fabulous things. But I think it's good to get into arguments with people and have them say, 'That sucks' or 'You're crazy' or 'That's cheesy' or 'What do you think of this?'
I've always seen first responders as unsung heroes and very special people because, when everyone else is running away from danger, they run into it.
My main characters are the most sunny, happy, optimistic, loving creatures on the face of the Earth. I couldn't be happier that's where I start. I can put as many flawed people in the dog's world as I like, but the dog doesn't care. Dog doesn't judge. Dog doesn't dislike. Dog loves. That's not so bad.
People say I have an aggressive style, and sometimes I don't think that is all just me. I think it's partly because I watched Senna when I was young, and I thought, 'This is how I want to drive when I get the opportunity'.
Political tags — such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth — are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
You can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You'll know it when you hit a home run.
I couldn't beat people with my strength; I don't have a hard shot; I'm not the quickest skater in the league. My eyes and my mind have to do most of the work.
Research has shown that people who volunteer often live longer.
When you realize who the good people are in your life, you're so lucky.
It is one of the blessings of this world that few people see visions and dream dreams.
