I have lived in the midst of the poor, and to this day, I think of them as the first to be given attention.

I used to wear disguises, like hats and false beards, just to walk around and avoid attention.

Particularly when you’re dealing with very high ranking people, you know, you have to get their attention, they are used to, by their rank, of having their own way and doing their own thing and when it’s necessary to all work together on something, sometimes you have to hit the mule between the eyes of the two by four to get its attention.

When you’re small, you have to work much harder to get attention.

Religion was a part of our home life when I was growing up. I attended Catholic school. It was a good education – for the spiritual end, as well as for its discipline.

There can be no settlement of a great cause without discussion, and people will not discuss a cause until their attention is drawn to it.

The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.

Guys need attention. They need that nourishment, that little stroke of the ego that gets them by every now and then.

Attention, must be devoted principally to raising the workers to the level of revolutionaries; it is not our task to descend to the level of the ‘working masses’.

I’m not a superstitious person. I’m not really religious, but I’m very spiritual. I believe in the power of the universe and I believe in the power of intention.
