Power is like being a lady... if you have to tell people you are, you aren't.
In all the world, rich people are very unpopular.
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you'll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you'll find that you have more of it.
Chains do not hold a marriage together. It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years.
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?'
Never expect people to treat you any better than you treat yourself.
In the scope of a happy life, a messy desk or an overstuffed coat closet is a trivial thing, yet I find — and I hear from other people that they agree — that getting rid of clutter gives a disproportionate boost to happiness.
It is enough that the people know there was an election. The people who cast the votes decide nothing. The people who count the votes decide everything.
I see harm reduction as a way of engaging people as part of that path to recovery.
