People
(page 30)
There are certain wicked people in the world that you can't deal with except by force.
I try to explain to people that the only way to be cool is to be who you truly are, and the only way to live life is to do the things that you want to do and be the person that you want to be no matter who that is or what that is or how you have to do it. That's the only way you can be genuinely happy.
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
If the people cannot trust their government to do the job for which it exists — to protect them and to promote their common welfare — all else is lost.
The U.S. Military is us. There is no truer representation of a country than the people that it sends into the field to fight for it. The people who wear our uniform and carry our rifles into combat are our kids, and our job is to support them, because they're protecting us.
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I'm no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
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.
All of my favorite people — people I really trust — none of them were cool in their younger years.
I was always complaining that there weren't enough good people going into public service, so I figured I had to get behind someone I found so compelling.
You have people come into your life shockingly and surprisingly. You have losses that you never thought you'd experience. You have rejection and you have learn how to deal with that and how to get up the next day and go on with it.
The development of language is part of the development of the personality, for words are the natural means of expressing thoughts and establishing understanding between people.
The world is a dangerous place to live; not because of the people who are evil, but because of the people who don't do anything about it.
I think that I was raised by two of the best people ever. My mother and father are just the definition of hard work, like what hard work brings to you. They've taught me and my brothers and sisters to set your goals high and to give everything to reach them.
The people are the only legitimate fountain of power, and it is from them that the constitutional charter, under which the several branches of government hold their power, is derived.
Do something wonderful, people may imitate 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.
Much education today is monumentally ineffective. All too often we are giving young people cut flowers when we should be teaching them to grow their own plants.
Well, you know, a lot of people look at the negative things, the things that they did wrong and — which I do. But I like to stress on the things I did right, because there are certain things that I like to look at from a positive standpoint that are just positive reinforcement.
Never trust anyone completely but God. Love people, but put your full trust only in God.
Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, others make it happen.
