It’s important to surround yourself with good people, interesting people, young people, young ideas

My fans are so amazing, dedicated, and nice. I’m nothing. It’s just my beginning, and these people keep appreciating my work. It’s a great experience.

I did four movies where I gained, like, fifty pounds. I had curly hair, and I had all of this facial hair. I had put on all this weight for these movies, and I did four or five of them back-to-back. Then I cut the weight and I got fit again. I cut my beard and I took away the mustache, and people were like, ‘What are you doing?’

Science fiction is a field of writing where, month after month, every printed word implies to hundreds of thousands of people: ‘There is change. Look, today’s fantastic story is tomorrow’s fact.

My heart always warms to people who do not come to see me, especially Americans, to whom it seems to be more of an effort.

Through my experience in my life, the number of people I ever come across most of them are only interested in one single thing, and that is actually how to escape at all times. But I don’t understand why people always want to run away or to escape from their things in life.

I have always observed that many of people usually or rather seldom refuse or avoid help even if someone is offering them the help in the right manner or in an ideal way.

The writer’s task is to reveal the hidden connections between people and the world, to uncover the universal in the particular.

Literature is a bridge between people, cultures, and times. It allows us to understand others and ourselves

At the core of hostility to Semitism lies Moses. He made a disastrous blunder, a horrible mix-up, and all enemies of Semitism for a long time originated from his misjudgment. Moses said we Jews could stay a people without having a land. He said we needn’t bother with an area to clutch our Jewish character. This was a disaster

There’s the South Pole, said Christopher Robin, and I expect there’s an East Pole and a West Pole, though people don’t like talking about them.

People say nothing is impossible, but I do nothing every day.

Some people care too much. I think it’s called love

It is a miserable irony that the potato came from America and sent these people back to America as desperate economic refugees

The Ninth Amendment, which is not often mentioned, was perfectly foresighted. It says the numeration of the Constitution, of certain rights, shall not be construed to deny or disparage others retained by the people. So no future law could be made that would deny or trespass on rights already given to Americans

The only type of humor that is excused lower classness is satire, and satire is the chamber music of comedy – a joke that many people profess to enjoy, but few actually get

It must be said that almost all primitive people think themselves divinely wrought, singled out and special. Often their names translate simply as “the people” or, like the San bushmen of the Kalahari, the first people. But this is a symptom of primitiveness; attempting to prove divine biology in the nineteenth century is the anthropological equivalent of a society regressing to sleeping with the lights on

Crack cocaine is the contemporary beaver, an international fad that has radically altered the economics of the poorest, marginal people, indigenous America. The gangs are the tribes of the New World

Have you ever stopped to think how weird it is that you have to take malaria pills to go to places where the population doesn’t take them, or that you get injections for yellow fever, cholera, typhus and hepatitis? None of the locals are immune to these things. They just suffer them. Drug companies can find prophylactics for rich Western holiday-makers, but not for people who live with disease the other 50 weeks of the year

People threw their elderly relatives into the snow and granny flats became dining rooms, while they tied up miniature vegetables and sprayed raspberry vinegar like tomcats on the pull

The most important single ingredient in the formula of success is knowing how to get along with people.

People ask the difference between a leader and a boss … The leader works in the open, and the boss in covert. The leader leads, and the boss drives.

I incline to an aristocratic republic. This would satisfy the ambitious spirit among our people. We shall learn from the historic mistakes of others in the same way as we learn from our own; for we are a modern nation and wish to be the most modern in the world.

The wealth of a country is its working people.

We believe that salvation is to be found in wholesome work in a beloved land. Work will provide our people with the bread of tomorrow, and moreover, with the honor of the tomorrow, the freedom of the tomorrow.

The character of a people may be ruined by charity.

The spirit in which the offer was made must of necessity contribute to improving and alleviating the situation of the Jewish people without our renouncing one iota of the great principles upon which our movement is based.

We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken.

Sarcasm: the last refuge of modest and chaste-souled people when the privacy of their soul is coarsely and intrusively invaded.

A man who lies to himself, and believes his own lies, becomes unable to recognize truth, either in himself or in anyone else, and he ends up losing respect for himself and for others.

My friend, the truth is always implausible, did you know that? To make the truth more plausible, it’s absolutely necessary to mix a bit of falsehood with it. People have always done so.

What would life be if we had no courage to attempt anything? Taking a new step, uttering a new word, is what people fear most.

Besides, nowadays, almost all capable people are terribly afraid of being ridiculous, and are miserable because of it.

People really do like seeing their best friends humiliated; a large part of the friendship is based on humiliation; and that is an old truth,well known to all intelligent people.

Madness is something rare in individuals — but in groups, parties, peoples, and ages, it is the rule.

To predict the behavior of ordinary people in advance, you only have to assume that they will always try to escape a disagreeable situation with the smallest possible expenditure of intelligence.

Sometimes people don’t want to hear the truth because they don’t want their illusions destroyed.

In heaven, all the interesting people are missing.

I love the fact that I can make people happy, in any form

Oh, I was not made for heaven. No, I don’t want to go to heaven. Hell is much better. Think of all the interesting people you’re going to meet down there

Nothing unites two people so completely, especially if, like you and me, all they have is words.

So eager are our people to obliterate the present.

If civilization is to survive, we must cultivate the science of human relationships – the ability of all peoples, of all kinds, to live together, in the same world at peace

Art is not a treasure in the past or an importation from another land, but part of the present life of all living and creating peoples.

I never forget that I live in a house owned by all the American people and that I have been given their trust

In our personal ambitions, we are individualists. But in our seeking for economic and political progress as a nation, we all go up, or else all go down as one people.

The nation that destroys its soil destroys itself. Forests are the lungs of our land, purifying the air and giving fresh strength to our people

The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the governmen

I pledge you, I pledge myself, to a new deal for the American people

Certification from one source or another seems to be the most important thing to people all over the world. A piece of paper from a school that says you’re smart, a pat on the head from your parents that says you’re good or some reinforcement from your peers that makes you think what you’re doing is worthwhile. People are just waiting around to get certified

Censoring what you say is one of the ways in which people who are not nice can take away your personal freedom

A drug is not bad. A drug is a chemical compound. The problem comes in when people who take drugs treat them like a license to behave like an asshole.

If you wanna grow up, which most people don’t, the thing to do is take responsibility for your own reality and deal with it on your own terms

Prison was tough on me. I saw people in prison that made me ashamed I was a human being. Some make Qaddafi and Idi Amin look like Sunday-school teachers

It’s easy to be famous today. People pay a million dollars to be recognized, but nobody cares about them. They cared about me because I did things other men were afraid to do. That’s why my fans identified with me. They were mostly working-class.

You are the master of your own ship, pal. There are lots of people who fall into troubled waters and don’t have the guts or the knowledge or the ability to make it to shore. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

I like to listen. I have learned a great deal from listening carefully. Most people never listen.

When writing a novel a writer should create living people; people not characters. A character is a caricature.

If two people love each other there can be no happy end to it.

I drink to make other people more interesting.

All people see fires, storms, explosions, or landscapes; but how many feel the flames, the lightnings, the whirlwinds, or the harmony? How many have an inner beauty that tinges their melancholy?

I don’t understand how people can believe in God, even when I myself think of him everyday.

Does our ferocity not derive from the fact that our instincts are all too interested in other people? If we attended more to ourselves and became the center, the object of our murderous inclinations, the sum of our intolerances would diminish.

Everybody around us was weeping. Someone began to recite Kaddish, the prayer for the dead. I don’t know whether, during the history of the Jewish people, men have ever before recited Kaddish for themselves.

Christianity supplies a Hell for the people who disagree with you and a Heaven for your friends

Many people fail in life, not for lack of ability or brains or even courage but simply because they have never organized their energies around a goal.

Science is simply the classification of the common knowledge of the common people. It is bringing together the things we all know and putting them together so we can use them. This is creation and finds its analogy in Nature, where the elements are combined in certain ways to give us fruits or flowers or grain.

People tried to change my concept of what music is. That music is work, but it’s not like that

The music we do is for people to enjoy, dance, and sing to it

We’re making the music that the people are asking us for

Respect is the key determinant of high-performance leadership. how much people respect you determines how well they perform.

When I arrived, at first a lot of people were like, ‘This kid is different.

Music belongs to the people

It is a bastard toIt is a bastard to miss people who may not even remember you miss people who may not even remember you

Ultimately, I’m not doing that much. I’m only doing what a human being who feels wants to do—in my way, without stepping out of my flow while staying in my lane. Without, I guess, boring people.

I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I’m the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible

I always like to create things that get attention. It used to be a problem when I wasn’t famous. Now, I can do whatever I want and people have to accept it.

When I was at school, I used to stay on a balcony singing and people would stand around listening.

Some people are making music just for numbers and views

The fame isn’t important to me. It’s a blessing to have. Having so many people that support me, that love me and listen to my music, is beautiful.

If I have a platform and a voice, I should use it for my people.

Money does not change people, people change.

I know that people have different ways to see me but I’m used to it.

The people I work with have a very good impression of me for sure, because of how I am.

For the people that I love I only have one face but for some people we can’t have one face.

I enjoy been on holidays because you can do whatever you want and people can’t say anything to you.

I prefer other people to make judgments about the way I play and to characterize me, rather me describe myself.

People that really know me, they adore me.

People are going to think I’m crazy.

People have to understand one thing: at the age of 18 I arrived at a dream club like Manchester United. It was a dream come true. But, even at that moment, I was thinking about playing in England for some years and then going to play in Spain. Even at that time I was thinking that way, and I always gave 100% everything.

Jesus loves sinners. He only loves sinners. He has never turned anyone away who came to Him for forgiveness, and He died on the cross for sinners, not for respectable people.

When a house is on fire and you know that there are people in it, it is a sin to straighten pictures in that house. When the world about you is in great danger, works that are in themselves not sinful can be quite wrong.

When people come up and give me a compliment… I take each remark as if it were a flower. At the end of the day I lift up the bouquet of flowers I have gathered throughout the day and say, ‘Here you are, Lord, it is all Yours.’

I do yoga. People think it is easy, just touching your toes. It is hard. But I tend to go with my own flow. It’s back to the movement thing. I feel it when I need to train, and I do what I feel I need to do. And when I am in the run-up to a fight, I am really at it the whole time, might be getting my weight down to meet the limit for the division. Soon I am moving up and I am going to be champion in the next one too.

If people want to believe in this god, or that god, that’s fine by me, believe away.

Seems like people get obsessed about times and numbers and weights and that – I’m obsessed with winning.

I know I might rub people the wrong way sometimes, but I’m just a kid living my dream… I’m enjoying my life.

There’s people that focus on the game and forget about the art. There’s that specific special individual that can do both.

I love my job. I whoop people for truckloads of cash. How could I hate this life? I love it so much. I’m grateful every single day.

Have fun, that’s what it’s all about. People get stressed over it… Let competition eat them up. That’s not me, I just get in and have fun. That’s what I’m here to do: Have fun and make some money doing it.

A youth is to be regarded with respect. How do we know that his future will not be equal to our present?

The funniest people are the saddest ones

Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves.

You can’t just have slogans, you can’t just have catchy phrases. You have to have an agenda. And I think what the Republican Party has to do, if it’s going to incorporate the tea party efforts in it, is to come up with an agenda that the American people can see, touch, and actually believe in, and something they believe in.

We got rid of a terrible dictator. We gave the Iraqi people an opportunity for a new life under a representative form of government.

It’s a disgrace that we have millions of people who are uninsured.

My own experience is use the tools that are out there. Use the digital world. But never lose sight of the need to reach out and talk to other people who don’t share your view. Listen to them and see if you can find a way to compromise.

Don’t bother people for help without first trying to solve the problem yourself.

Being responsible sometimes means pissing people off.

There are people who have money and people who are rich

You see, in this world there’s two kinds of people, my friend: Those with loaded guns and those who dig. You dig.

A lot of people are realizing they had the wool pulled over their eyes by Obama.

President Obama is the greatest hoax ever perpetrated on the American people.

If you consider film an art form, as some people do, then the Western would be a truly American art form, much as jazz is.

I guess maybe when you get past 70, other people start asking you how you feel.

Some people feel that the world owes them a living.

There are two kinds of people in this world. ‘I’ people and ‘we’ people. I’ve always tried to be a ‘we’ person.

The most overrated virtue in life is ‘niceness,’ and the main advantage of America over Europe is that it has fewer ‘nice’ people.

I think it’s important for people who don’t know you to get a sense of the way you view the world, your politics, your point of view. I think that helps people understand your takes on various things.

The only real radicalism in our time will come as it always has—from people who insist on thinking for themselves and who reject party-mindedness

Many religions now come before us with ingratiating smirks and outspread hands, like an unctuous merchant in a bazaar. They offer consolation and solidarity and uplift, competing as they do in a marketplace. But we have a right to remember how barbarically they behaved when they were strong and were making an offer that people could not refuse.

An artist, in my understanding of the word, should side with the people against the Emperor that oppresses his or her people.

I am against people reaping where they have not sown.

No man however great is greater than his people

People say you have to work on your resentments. Yeah, no, I’m gonna hang onto them and they’re gonna fuel my attack.

I was actually disappointed because I thought the mistakes I made is that people misinterpret my passion for anger.

Dying is for fools. I’m proud of what I created. I exposed people to magic. I exposed people to things they would never see in their normal lives.

The only thing I’m addicted to is winning. This bootleg cult, arrogantly referred to as Alcoholics Anonymous, reports a 5 percent success rate. My success rate is 100 percent.

I believe the single most significant decision I can make on a day-to-day basis is my choice of attitude. It is more important than my past, my education, my bankroll, my successes or failures, fame or pain, what other people think of me or say about me, my circumstances, or my position.

In the little world in which children have their existence, whosoever brings them up, there is nothing so finely perceived and so finely felt as injustice.

People say, ‘Why do you always got to say that you used to be a stripper? We get it.’ Because y’all don’t respect me because of it, and y’all going to respect these strippers from now on. Just because somebody was a stripper don’t mean they don’t have no brain..

Until we can re-establish a condition under which the earnings of the people can be kept by the people, we are bound to suffer a very severe and distinct curtailment of our liberty

Nobody looks like what they really are on the inside. You don’t. I don’t. People are much more complicated than that.

The people who control the condition in which we live have no reason to think beyond more than the next five or 10 years.

That’s what people respect, the fact that I wasn’t a chump that laid on his back and gave up.
