People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.

15
Nature doesn’t need people – people need nature; nature would survive the extinction of the human being and go on just fine, but human culture, human beings, cannot survive without nature.
16
I realised that success and pure creativity are not very compatible. The more successful you become, the more you become a product of something that generates money. Instead of being able to move forward freely and do what you really wish, you find yourself stuck and obliged to repeat yourself and your previous success.
17
All fashion brands are about looking good. Being Human is also about doing good. And you can do good by the simple act of slipping into a t-shirt or a pair of jeans.

Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It’s what you do after you cross the line that really counts.
21
We must listen to the concerns of our people without dismissing them. When people see something wrong, there is something wrong. When our people see corruption, it means there is corruption. When our people see that their resources are being stolen by certain people, it means this is happening, and we should listen.
22
One of the downsides of being famous is that folks pay far more attention to you than they should. American celebrities are constantly under surveillance, and every word they say is subject to scrutiny. So, be careful what you wish for if you desire fame. No human being should be a goldfish.
23
24
Many people are alive but don’t touch the miracle of being alive.
25
Become a good all-around human being.
26
Security is, I would say, our top priority because for all the exciting things you will be able to do with computers – organizing your lives, staying in touch with people, being creative – if we don’t solve these security problems, then people will hold back.

47
48
If you’re going to preach dedication, work ethic, teamwork, unselfishness, and being part of a team to accomplish a common goal, you have to live it – you can’t just talk about it.
49
I have gained this from philosophy: that I do without being commanded what others do only from fear of the law.
50
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
51
52
I just miss – I miss being anonymous.
53
54
55
I’ve been misunderstood when it comes to women. I’ve got a big heart and a little brain. But I love women being women; there’s something about their skin. I do love strong, independent women, but they are definitely complicated.
56
I don’t know the law, the kind of law of quantity and quality, but I think the opportunity of people being able to express themselves and to have the means of production is a great thing. It’s also changing how we’re telling stories.
57
58
I am happy being what I am.
59
It’s an ongoing joy being a dad.

To us, family means putting your arms around each other and being there.
71
72
To say that gender is performative is a little different because for something to be performative means that it produces a series of effects. We act and walk and speak and talk in ways that consolidate an impression of being a man or being a woman.
73
I gave myself permission to feel and experience all of my emotions. In order to do that, I had to stop being afraid to feel. In order to do that, I taught myself to believe that no matter what I felt or what happened when I felt it, I would be okay.
74
Success is not a destination, but the road that you’re on. Being successful means that you’re working hard and walking your walk every day. You can only live your dream by working hard towards it. That’s living your dream.
75
The greatest tragedy for any human being is going through their entire lives believing the only perspective that matters is their own.
76
77

No human being, however great, or powerful, was ever so free as a fish.
79
80
81

To be lost is as legitimate a part of your process as being found.
83
84
I exist in agreement with all the weird chaos, destruction, and agony that is undoubtedly part of the texture of being alive.

86
87
The Indians on board said that thence to Cuba was a voyage in their canoes of a day and a half; these being small dug-outs without a sail. Such are their canoes. I departed thence for Cuba, for by the signs the Indians made of its greatness, and of its gold and pearls, I thought that it must be Cipango.
88
For me, life is about being positive and hopeful, choosing to be joyful, choosing to be encouraging, choosing to be empowering.
89
A person who sees a problem is a human being; a person who finds a solution is visionary; and the person who goes out and does something about it is an entrepreneur.
90
Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It’s when you make your best friends – I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.
91
Complacency is a state of mind that exists only in retrospective: it has to be shattered before being ascertained.
92
93

101
102
103
104
I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.
105
106
107
108
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow men. True nobility lies in being superior to your former self.
109
The thing is, we live in a contemporary world, and being able to make yourself the best person you can possible be can be difficult. But as long as you’re trying to figure it out, and you’re really looking in the right direction, everything’s going to be all right.
110
I love that feeling of being in love, the effect of having butterflies when you wake up in the morning. That is special.
111
112
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.
113
Give to every human being every right that you claim for yourself.
114
115

The privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
119
At the center of your being you have the answer; you know who you are and you know what you want.
120
It’s possible to love a human being if you don’t know them too well.
121
Vulnerability is the essence of romance. It’s the art of being uncalculated, the willingness to look foolish, the courage to say, ‘This is me, and I’m interested in you enough to show you my flaws with the hope that you may embrace me for all that I am but, more important, all that I am not.’

Being mayor is about offering a vision for the city, putting the right people in the right place, and executing that vision.
127
128
Each man is questioned by life; and he can only answer to life by answering for his own life; to life he can only respond by being responsible.
129
To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.

We’re Real Madrid – and being successful is part of our DNA.
131
132
133
I spend hours playing chess because I find it so much fun. The day it stops being fun is the day I give up.
134
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
135
I certainly know that I would not be able to survive if it were not for the fact that I am being upheld by the prayers of so many people.
136
137
Being uncool is being pretty much the coolest you can be.
138
We are buried beneath the weight of information, which is being confused with knowledge; quantity is being confused with abundance and wealth with happiness.
139
Humility, I have learned, must never be confused with meekness. Humility is being open to the ideas of others.
140
141
142
143
I’m not going to get somewhere and say, ‘OK, I’m done.’ Success is never final; I’ll just keep on going. The same way as failure never being fatal. Just keep going. I’m going to the stars and then past them.
144
Because you know what happens when you say ‘hello‘ or ‘good morning?’ You make a connection. And isn’t that what being human is all about?
145
146
I’m not different for the sake of being different, only for the desperate sake of being myself. I can’t join your gang: you’d think I was a phony and I’d know it.
147
Fear seems to have many causes. Fear of loss, fear of failure, fear of being hurt, and so on, but ultimately all fear is the ego‘s fear of death, of annihilation. To the ego, death is always just around the corner. In this mind-identified state, fear of death affects every aspect of your life.
148
Physical comforts cannot subdue mental suffering, and if we look closely, we can see that those who have many possessions are not necessarily happy. In fact, being wealthy often brings even more anxiety.
149
I define my life around happiness, being safe, being able to enjoy life and live this life for a long time.
150
The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.
151
Being part of the Workshop is like being part of a really big family. Everyone is so close. Everyone feels the success of others who go on to do well. Whatever happens, I will still be part of the Workshop.
152
A great building must begin with the unmeasurable, must go through measurable means when it is being designed and in the end must be unmeasurable.

If anything, the children of Paris should be giving me even more money for having the privilege of being in the same city as my incredible quality. And so should David Beckham. Call it a Zlaritable donation.

161
162
An essential aspect of creativity is not being afraid to fail.
163
One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!

166
167
168
169
Happiness doesn’t come from being rich, nor merely from being successful in your career, nor by self-indulgence. One step towards happiness is to make yourself healthy and strong while you are a boy so that you can be useful and so you can enjoy life when you are a man.
170
171
He who stops being better stops being good.
172
I enjoy being active; it’s part of my lifestyle.
173
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing.
174
175
176
177
I’m concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.
178
I am doing things that are true to me. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.
179
Being confident is the key to life. Don’t be afraid to be you! I’m super different from a lot of kids my age with style and personality, and I’m OK with it. And if you are OK with it, everyone else will be, too. Just be yourself.
180
181
Loneliness expresses the pain of being alone and solitude expresses the glory of being alone.

Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn’t matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.

189
Tolerance is giving to every other human being every right that you claim for yourself.
190
You are loved just for being who you are, just for existing. You don’t have to do anything to earn it. Your shortcomings, your lack of self-esteem, physical perfection, or social and economic success – none of that matters. No one can take this love away from you, and it will always be here.
191
How easy it is to govern when one follows a system of consulting the will of the people and one holds as the only norm all the actions which contribute to the well being of the people.
192
Be happy. It’s one way of being wise.
193
This is one of the miracles of love: It gives a power of seeing through its own enchantments and yet not being disenchanted.
194
195
196
The true teachers and educators are not those who have learned pedagogy as the science of dealing with children, but those in whom pedagogy has awakened through understanding the human being.
197
I try to keep it real. I don’t have time to worry about what I’m projecting to the world. I’m just busy being myself.
198
Battle is the most magnificent competition in which a human being can indulge. It brings out all that is best; it removes all that is base. All men are afraid in battle. The coward is the one who lets his fear overcome his sense of duty. Duty is the essence of manhood.
199
No matter what your age is, you only have now. So it’s always about living in the moment and being in the moment… I refuse to let those numbers define me, and I just try to face each day positively.
200
Trajectories aren’t linear. Life’s just a roller coaster. If you’re getting a chance to do cool stuff, and it’s varied stuff, just enjoy it. I guess I’m a believer in the randomness of life rather than it being a linear trajectory or an arc, a consistent smooth arc, towards anything.
201
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
202
You know, true love really matters, friends really matter, family really matters. Being responsible and disciplined and healthy really matters.
203
Bullying is never fun, it’s a cruel and terrible thing to do to someone. If you are being bullied, it is not your fault. No one deserves to be bullied, ever.
204
205
206
Not being beautiful was the true blessing. Not being beautiful forced me to develop my inner resources. The pretty girl has a handicap to overcome.
207
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.
208
209
210
A Christian reveals true humility by showing the gentleness of Christ, by being always ready to help others, by speaking kind words and performing unselfish acts, which elevate and ennoble the most sacred message that has come to our world.
211
Loneliness and the feeling of being unwanted is the most terrible poverty.
212
No matter what the circumstances, you always enjoy being around guys that you bond with, win, lose, whatever it may be.
213
214
215
Every human being has a bit of gangster in him.
216
What brings you closer to God is being in service to others. I think any religion or spiritual way of life will indicate that service to others will lead to a connection with a higher power.
217
218
That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.
219
Getting up and having the courage to share with people, all people, and even just being asked to sing, first of all, that’s all part of how I express my identity.
220
221
222
We all live with the objective of being happy; our lives are all different and yet the same.
223
Being able to feel free and comfortable in your character‘s skin is so important.
224
Maybe some people think that it’s all about the hype, about the fame, but it’s not. It’s all about being the best. It’s all about challenging myself everyday.
225
Most people would rather be certain they’re miserable, than risk being happy.
226
Good grooming and hygiene are essential. It’s never too early to start being concerned about your appearance – first impressions are everything.
227
Being yourself is very sexy, you know?
228
229
I guess I just feel very comfortable with being myself.
230
Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn’t interest you, don’t do it – I would have made a terrible mother.
231
I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion‘s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.
232
I truly believe that the privilege of a lifetime is being who you are.
233
To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying ‘This is who I am’.
234
235
236
237
Elections should be held on April 16th- the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders.
238
239
The burden of poverty isn’t just that you don’t always have the things you need, it’s the feeling of being embarrassed every day of your life, and you’d do anything to lift that burden.
240
241
242
243
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it’s a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
244
245
My goal is to give girls and boys a different idea of expression. It’s not always about looking pretty or cute. It’s about expressing yourself however that may be, even if that’s being silly or goofy or weird.
246
Creativity is not merely the innocent spontaneity of our youth and childhood; it must also be married to the passion of the adult human being, which is a passion to live beyond one’s death.
247
Being happy is of the utmost importance. Success in anything is through happiness.
248
249
Beauty is being comfortable and confident in your own skin.
250
251
252
253
My objective is to fulfil the dream of Bangabandhu through building a hunger- and poverty-free Golden Bangladesh being imbued with the spirit of the War of Liberation.
254
255
We cannot live being obsessed with what other people think about us. It’s impossible to live like that. Not even God managed to please the entire world.
256
257
I always think about the idea that God never gives you more than you can handle, and just the idea that God would be looking at me and thinking, ‘Eh, I think she can handle more.’ And the angels thinking, ‘What are you doing? You’re a lunatic.’ And God being like, ‘No, no, trust me. She can handle this.’
258
For prayer is nothing else than being on terms of friendship with God.
259
My dream is to live a good life and be loving, be close to God and be a good human being and bring peace to people.
260
Everything I do, I do it being myself.
261
262
263
It’s not all about talent. It’s about dependability, consistency, and being able to improve. If you work hard and you’re coachable, and you understand what you need to do, you can improve.
264
Being a gentleman is a worthy goal.
265
I never cut class. I loved getting A’s, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.
266
There are good reasons for being in jail – for protesting.
267
268
The only thing that can stop me from being me is me.
269
God will prepare everything for our perfect happiness in heaven, and if it takes my dog being there, I believe he’ll be there.
270
271
There are two ways of being creative. One can sing and dance. Or one can create an environment in which singers and dancers flourish.
272
Bravery is being the only one who knows you’re afraid.
273
My mother is a strong woman. Her strength comes from being tested by life’s unpredictability. It comes from soldiering on for her children, even when she might rather have given up. I know it hasn’t always come easily, but I also know it’s her greatest gift.
274
The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence.
275
276
Joy, rather than happiness, is the goal of life, for joy is the emotion which accompanies our fulfilling our natures as human beings. It is based on the experience of one’s identity as a being of worth and dignity.
277
I like being like a chameleon who transforms himself with each role.
278
The best part about being alone is that you really don’t have to answer to anybody. You do what you want.
279
280
281
282
You have to learn to get comfortable being uncomfortable. You have to be willing to get out of your comfort zone and push your limits.
283
A man who becomes conscious of the responsibility he bears toward a human being who affectionately waits for him, or to an unfinished work, will never be able to throw away his life. He knows the ‘why‘ for his existence, and will be able to bear almost any ‘how.’
284
285
Happiness is a matter of one’s most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self.
286
God… a being whose only definition is that he is beyond man’s power to conceive.
287
I love being outside and getting fresh air.
288
289
290
We have to stand up for what we believe in, even when we might not be popular for it. Honesty starts with being ourselves, authentic and true to who we are and what we believe in, and that may not always be popular, but it will always let you follow your dreams and your heart.
291
I think being stylish is about being you.
292
293
Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There’s nothing to do but to stand there and take it.
294
295

296
297
The only good luck many great men ever had was being born with the ability and determination to overcome bad luck.
298
299
We Negro writers, just by being black, have been on the blacklist all our lives. Censorship for us begins at the color line.
300
301
The courage to be is the courage to accept oneself, in spite of being unacceptable.
302
In the social jungle of human existence, there is no feeling of being alive without a sense of identity.
303
304
It’s been quite a roller coaster ride, but I’ve grown and learned a lot about myself. The greatest thing is being able to interact with fans and touch people‘s lives… for that I give thanks.
305
Don’t worry about being famous or making money; the most important thing is being the best. You have to become a master of your craft, and everything else will come.
306
Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.
307
‘Sexy’ doesn’t have to come with the price tag of being dumb.
308
309
310
One of the penalties for refusing to participate in politics is that you end up being governed by your inferiors.
311
It’s not just about being sexy, it’s about being confident and me being confident in my sexuality.
312
The only way to avoid being miserable is not to have enough leisure to wonder whether you are happy or not.
313
314
People always accuse me of being motivational in a way, like it was a bad thing, but that’s just how I was raised. My mom raised me in a positive environment, with lots of love in my heart, and that reflects in my music.
315
Being myself is what got me to where I am.
316
317
I just enjoy life in a way where I like being my own person.
318
Faith is the highest passion in a human being. Many in every generation may not come that far, but none comes further.
319
We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
320
321
The glory is being happy. The glory is not winning here or winning there. The glory is enjoying practicing, enjoy every day, enjoying to work hard, trying to be a better player than before.
322
What a waste it is to lose one’s mind. Or not to have a mind is being very wasteful. How true that is.
323
324
325
326
I’m happy being myself, which I’ve never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn’t have those things in mine.
327
328
But in the end, in the end one is alone. We are all of us alone. I mean I’m told these days we have to consider ourselves as being in society… but in the end one knows one is alone, that one lives at the heart of a solitude.
329
There is no personal achievement in being born beautiful.
330
331
The soul is healed by being with children.
332
333
It is an eternal obligation toward the human being not to let him suffer from hunger when one has a chance of coming to his assistance.
334
335
336
337
Unbeing dead isn’t being alive.
338
And the greatest lesson that mom ever taught me though was this one. She told me there would be times in your life when you have to choose between being loved and being respected. Now she said to always pick being respected.
339

Who, being loved, is poor?
341
342
343
Hotness is uniqueness and just being yourself – that’s hot.
344
There is no more miserable human being than one in whom nothing is habitual but indecision.
345
346
347
The universal utilization of water power and its long-distance transmission will supply every household with cheap power and will dispense with the necessity of burning fuel. The struggle for existence being lessened, there should be development along ideal rather than material lines.
348
349
350
I think that’s the most beautiful thing about being confident – just loving yourself, not caring what everybody else thinks. Because you could be Mother Theresa, and people are still going to try to find some imperfection.
351
352
Being a philosopher is to think, seek wisdom, and have principles that guide and influence what you do. It’s to give meaning to things, find your way in the world, believe that in the end, in every instance, good will overcome evil, even if there’s a bit of suffering along the way.
353
I lost contact with my father for many years because of apartheid. For, like, six years, I didn’t see my dad. And, now, this was the six years of being a teenager.
354
Freedom lies in being bold.
355
I am just one human being.
356
People who have never dealt with depression think it’s just being sad or being in a bad mood. That’s not what depression is for me; it’s falling into a state of grayness and numbness.
357
Being an only child, I didn’t have any other family but my mom and dad really, since the rest of my family lived quite far away from London.
358
359
If there is to be any peace it will come through being, not having.
360
The truth is that we don’t need everyone to like us; we need a few people to love us. Because what’s better than being roundly liked is being fully known – an impossibility both professionally and personally if you’re so busy being likable that you forget to be yourself.
361
Being a good police officer is one of the most difficult, dangerous, idealistic jobs in the world.
362
363
I love the sensation of being out in the open air, far away from all the distractions of modern life. I will usually disappear for a couple of hours, and that time on my bike is quite sacred, as it’s when I do all my serious thinking. Sometimes I will stop off at bikers’ cafe and have a bacon sandwich.
364
By the end of my career I just really hated being out there on that field and being subjected to what was happening to me.
365
Being heard is so close to being loved that for the average person they are almost indistinguishable.
366
Do activities you’re passionate about – which make your heart and soul feel perky – including things like working out, cooking, painting, writing, yoga, hiking, walking, swimming, being in nature, being around art, or reading inspiring books.
367
368
How far you go in life depends on your being tender with the young, compassionate with the aged, sympathetic with the striving and tolerant of the weak and strong. Because someday in your life you will have been all of these.
369
370
371
The truth is a snare: you cannot have it, without being caught. You cannot have the truth in such a way that you catch it, but only in such a way that it catches you.
372
Merely by describing yourself as black you have started on a road towards emancipation, you have committed yourself to fight against all forces that seek to use your blackness as a stamp that marks you out as a subservient being.
373
There is one consolation in being sick; and that is the possibility that you may recover to a better state than you were ever in before.
374
Personal songs take a little more to record, definitely. We had to bring our souls into the recording studio. It was us being very vulnerable. We heard that our fans can kind of feel that.
375
I’m going to continue being me through the good times and the bad.
376
Money is not a motivating factor. Money doesn’t thrill me or make me play better because there are benefits to being wealthy. I’m just happy with a ball at my feet. My motivation comes from playing the game I love. If I wasn’t paid to be a professional footballer I would willingly play for nothing.
377
Actually I don’t remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.
378
The art of being a slave is to rule one’s master.
379
I’m not somebody that’s trying to be somebody else. I’m being myself for the most part and people respect that.
380
Being jealous of a beautiful woman is not going to make you more beautiful.
381
To be more childlike, you don’t have to give up being an adult. The fully integrated person is capable of being both an adult and a child simultaneously. Recapture the childlike feelings of wide-eyed excitement, spontaneous appreciation, cutting loose, and being full of awe and wonder at this magnificent universe.
382
I’ll tell you, there is nothing better in life than being a late bloomer. I believe that success can happen at any time and at any age.
383
True greatness consists in being great in little things.
384
When a person cannot deceive himself the chances are against his being able to deceive other people.
385
For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer.
386
The real hero is always a hero by mistake; he dreams of being an honest coward like everybody else.
387
Art is the path to being spiritual.
388
389
390
I believe in being an innovator.
391
392
You change the world by being yourself.
393
I never thought of myself as being handsome or good-looking or whatever. I always felt like an outsider.
394
Justice is itself the great standing policy of civil society; and any eminent departure from it, under any circumstances, lies under the suspicion of being no policy at all.
395
Being in control of your life and having realistic expectations about your day-to-day challenges are the keys to stress management, which is perhaps the most important ingredient to living a happy, healthy and rewarding life.
396
397
There’s nothing wrong with being a loser, it just depends on how good you are at it.
398
The cool thing about being famous is traveling. I have always wanted to travel across seas, like to Canada and stuff.
399
The most exhausting thing in life is being insincere.
400
401
Social acceptance, ‘being liked,’ has so much power because it holds the feelings of loneliness at bay.
402
I live my life exactly the way I want to. Nothing stops me from going out or being anywhere that I want to be. I am doing whatever I want to do. I do not live my life according to any restrictions whatsoever!
403
What do I see when I look in the mirror? One handsome man. No, I see the same person I have seen for the last 27 years: the person I believed I could be when I was a child, the person I have inspired and dreamed to be all my life, and that’s the person I have seen, from being that big to as big as the roof – the same guy.
404
The highest manifestation of life consists in this: that a being governs its own actions. A thing which is always subject to the direction of another is somewhat of a dead thing.
405
Every one of us is a perfect human being, deformed by the family, the society and the culture.
406
My normal life is like being on holiday.
407
There is no duty we so much underrate as the duty of being happy. By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.
408
Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that’s a tough call. That’s rebellion.
409
I have learned the hard way to mind my business, without judging who people are and what they do. I am more troubled by the lack of space being provided for the truth to unfold. Humans cannot seem to wait for or honor the truth. Instead, we make it up based on who we believe people should or should not be.
410
Hip-hop is not about crime. Hip-hop is not about being a gangster.
411
The story being told in ‘Star Wars‘ is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you’re in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they’re actually not.
412
413
No matter what happens in life, be good to people. Being good to people is a wonderful legacy to leave behind.
414
415
416
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
417
418
419
I only go out to get me a fresh appetite for being alone.
