My family and high school friends were the only people who were with me every step of the way through my mothers' illness. They sat by my side year after year and consoled me. If they ever sent me a bill, I would be paying them off for the rest of my life.
If you're naturally kind, you attract a lot of people you don't like.
I don't think the American people want unilateral government control over the entire health-care system.
There are basically two types of people. People who accomplish things, and people who claim to have accomplished things. The first group is less crowded.
People who follow all the rules and chase every trend tend to get forgotten — they look great, but they're not as memorable.
Meanwhile, parents, students and teachers all report higher satisfaction with charter schools. People like them. They cost less money. They raise the academic achievement of poor kids. Go ahead, get a little enthused.
'What will people say?' is a feeling every Indian girl grows up with.
Some people believe that fairness comes with obeying the rules. I'm one of those people.
People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation.
People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.
Your self-esteem won't come from body parts. You need to step away from the mirror every once in a while, and look for another reflection, like the one in the eyes of the people who love you and admire you.
I love performing, and I love being in front of people. I love the pressure you get and the pleasure performing brings.
You know, there's a real irony in U.S. assistance programs. First of all, I think it's misnamed. We're not so much trying to help people as we're trying to help ourselves. So let's be clear about this. So these are — in my view, they're cold calculations of national security and not aid programs.
I feel I represent my country: not only my country but all former U.S.S.R. countries because I have very big fan base here, and I have more than a billion Muslim fans. I feel I represent these guys all around the world. My fans. This gives me very good energy. When I go to the cage, I think about these people.
I think there are people out there writing original bluegrass songs, but it's hard to get them out on the air.
No designer has really wowed me yet, I'm into other people's recommendations when it comes to fashion.
You know, people want to honor me, and on the one hand I just don't want to be a poster child; but on the other, I want to do something classy and great — something where the residuals will go to the cause.
Being proud of who we are as people is more important than cutting into ourselves to create this false idea of beauty.
Every year, our white intruders become more greedy, exacting, oppressive, and overbearing. Every year, contentions spring up between them and our people, and when blood is shed, we have to make atonement, whether right or wrong, at the cost of the lives of our greatest chiefs and the yielding up of large tracts of our lands.
As a surgeon you have to have a controlled arrogance. If it's uncontrolled, you kill people, but you have to be pretty arrogant to saw through a person's chest, take out their heart and believe you can fix it. Then, when you succeed and the patient survives, you pray, because it's only by the grace of God that you get there.
