A birthday is just another day where you go to work and people give you love. Age is just a state of mind, and you are as old as you think you are. You have to count your blessings and be happy.
I don't fight for the money. I fight for my legacy. I fight for history. I fight for my people.
Election days come and go. But the struggle of the people to create a government which represents all of us and not just the one percent — a government based on the principles of economic, social, racial and environmental justice — that struggle continues.
Life is all about evolution. What looks like a mistake to others has been a milestone in my life. Even if people have betrayed me, even if my heart was broken, even if people misunderstood or judged me, I have learned from these incidents. We are human and we make mistakes, but learning from them is what makes the difference.
People are always going to go shopping. A lot of our effort is just: 'How do we make the retail experience a great one?'
It's not what other people believe you can do; it's what you believe you can do.
The problem with socialism is that you eventually run out of other peoples' money.

In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.
I truly believe my job is to make sure people smile.
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That's nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
Escapist literature gets a bad rap. But I think escape is important for a lot of people in a lot of places.
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
Successful people are the ones who think up things for the rest of the world to keep busy at.
Honesty is about the scars. It's about the blemishes. But it's more than just bragging about failure, which could be a form of ego. It's about truly helping people.
Everybody I know who is funny, it's in them. You can teach timing, or some people are able to tell a joke, though I don't like to tell jokes. But I think you have to be born with a sense of humor and a sense of timing.
Once you do away with the idea of people as fixed, static entities, then you see that people can change, and there is hope.
