We must go fast, because the race is against time.

Yes, I am seeking a husband. As soon as the right man asks me, I shall say, 'It is not good for a woman to live alone.'

If I get married, I think I'd pick out a newspaperman rather than a millionaire. A newspaperman is a regular fellow.

Most women are indulgent of themselves. This is a mistake. It should be only the reward of old age.

No one ever tells us the truth, even those we love.

Costumes and scenery alone will not attract audiences.

I think the eyes flirt most. There are so many ways to use them.

There is no disgrace in working. There was no silver spoon around at the time I was born.

My little dog, he did not get ill. It is so funny that people get ill on a boat and dogs do not.

How many women have the courage to start properly with a cold, cold bath early in the morning? I jump in, throw the water, cold as ice, and after the first plunge I am happy.

Imagination! Imagination! I put it first years ago, when I was asked what qualities I thought necessary for success on the stage.

Success is the only motivational factor that a boy with character needs.

Hope is a state of mind, not of the world. Hope, in this deep and powerful sense, is not the same as joy that things are going well, or willingness to invest in enterprises that are obviously heading for success, but rather an ability to work for something because it is good.

When a truth is not given complete freedom, freedom is not complete.

Sometimes I wonder if suicides aren't in fact sad guardians of the meaning of life.

I really do inhabit a system in which words are capable of shaking the entire structure of government, where words can prove mightier than ten military divisions.

The exercise of power is determined by thousands of interactions between the world of the powerful and that of the powerless, all the more so because these worlds are never divided by a sharp line: everyone has a small part of himself in both.

Work for something because it is good, not just because it stands a chance to succeed.

Hope is not the conviction that something will turn out well but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

Isn't it the moment of most profound doubt that gives birth to new certainties? Perhaps hopelessness is the very soil that nourishes human hope; perhaps one could never find sense in life without first experiencing its absurdity.

Hope is definitely not the same thing as optimism. It is not the conviction that something will turn out well, but the certainty that something makes sense, regardless of how it turns out.

Even a purely moral act that has no hope of any immediate and visible political effect can gradually and indirectly, over time, gain in political significance.

Hope is a feeling that life and work have meaning. You either have it or you don't, regardless of the state of the world that surrounds you.

Success requires first expending ten units of effort to produce one unit of results. Your momentum will then produce ten units of results with each unit of effort.

To design the future effectively, you must first let go of your past.

Any businessman will tell you that transportation is fundamental to success.

I can say that every ad that I control, that I'm going to make sure my ads are positive.

In the restaurant business, you learn quickly there's no margin in having enemies.

Government doesn't have a high tolerance for failure.

We need a comprehensive focus on infrastructure that supports not just transportation but also broadband, education, healthcare, and our environment.

Education is the social bedrock for the hopes and dreams of our children and the foundation that is necessary for their future prosperity.

Isolationism is not leadership.

America's greatness has always been demonstrated by our moral leadership.

If you don't trust the media, they are not going to trust you, and if they don't trust you, it's hard for the public to trust you.

Politics generally doesn't mix with sports very well.

I assume we will have figured out a way to efficiently utilize solar energy and tied that to an efficient way to use nuclear energy in such a way that it doesn't pose a serious environmental issue.

We don't want the federal government coming in and telling us how to do our environmental remediation or how we're going to do our healthcare.

Even as we continue to carry the banner of civil rights and environmental justice, we've also got to focus on many, many people - for them, life starts with a good job.

In the first six to twelve months of a war with the United States and Great Britain I will run wild and win victory upon victory. But then, if the war continues after that, I have no expectation of success.

Never tell anyone outside my staff that the Submarine Force and the First Air Fleet were responsible for the failure at Midway. The failure at Midway was mine.

I fear all we have done is to awaken a sleeping giant and fill him with a terrible resolve.

If a war breaks out with the United States, the navy will have to put all its strength into interceptive operations, so... massive sea-borne supplies might be momentarily interrupted.

The example afforded before the Great War by Germany - which, if only it had exercised forbearance for another five or ten years, would by now be unrivaled in Europe - suggests that the task facing us now is to build up our strength calmly and with circumspection.

A man of real purpose puts his faith in himself always. Sometimes he refuses even to put his faith in the gods. So from time to time, he falls into error.

Bottom line, I removed myself from the victim mentality and took control of my life. I'm not just going to take responsibility for the success in my life - I'm going to take responsibility for the failures in my life. When you're willing to accept that you're the problem, you immediately become the solution.

Most kids just follow the cycle. My grandfather didn't finish high school. My father didn't, and I didn't. But you can break the cycle. You can have a successful marriage and be a good father.

A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers. This is an example of our topsy-turvy view of 'success.' Who would we miss most if they did not work for a month, the footballer or the garbage collector?

The reason most people don't express their individuality and actually deny it, is not fear of what prime ministers think of us or the head of the federal reserve, It's what their families and their friends down at the bar are going to think of them.

Any society where it's a crime or a hassle to be different is a society based on psychological fascism.

In the Atlantean period there were many energies being used and information and knowledge being used which were, for particular reasons of safety, withdrawn, shall we say, to prevent complete catastrophe, to prevent total destruction of your planet.
