Know Everythings
I literally was saved by a role, from becoming a cab driver. I never did have to wait tables, though, so looking back I guess I had it pretty soft. There is no problem that is not improved by effort, and no effort that is too paltry to be worth undertaking. If I have to…
The white audiences thought I was white, my features being what they are, and at every performance I’d have to take off my gloves to prove I was a spade. My whole family could sing. My family harmonized without any instruments to accompany them. When you dominate other people’s emotions, the time has to come…
War – An act of violence whose object is to constrain the enemy, to accomplish our will. The constitution vests the power of declaring war in Congress; therefore no offensive expedition of importance can be undertaken until after they shall have deliberated upon the subject and authorized such a measure. Nothing can be more hurtful…
Growing up I didn’t watch movies. I and haven’t been unemployed for 20 years. I’m an exception to the rule. Everybody has a job to do. There are people in Iraq on both sides of this war who do what they do for religious reasons, and they feel with God on their side. Some people…
If you can’t read, it’s going to be hard to realize dreams. Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon. Few things can help an individual more than…

The United States form a young republic, a confederacy which ought ever to be cemented by a union of interests and affection, under the influence of those principles which obtained their independence. The bulk of mankind have indeed, in all countries in their turn, been made the prey of ambition. The defeat of the Americans…
To get what you want, STOP doing what isn’t working. Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism. Prior to any questioning, the person must be warned that he has a right to remain silent, that any statement he…
There was never a nation great until it came to the knowledge that it had nowhere in the world to go for help. Politics makes strange bedfellows. Public opinion is stronger than the legislature, and nearly as strong as the ten commandments. Regrets are idle; yet history is one long regret. Everything might have turned…

I think when two people get together, their past is their past. Their reputations are reputations. You can only take someone the way you find them… on face value. I think that was how we were both, the way we were. We played well in Kenya. We didn’t lose a game and we bowled Pakistan…
During the 1960s, I think, people forgot what emotions were supposed to be. And I don’t think they’ve ever remembered. Being born is like being kidnapped. And then sold into slavery. Before I was shot, I always thought that I was more half-there than all-there – I always suspected that I was watching TV instead…
Wise are they who have learned these truths: Trouble is temporary. Time is tonic. Tribulation is a test tube. Lose yourself in generous service and every day can be a most unusual day, a triumphant day, an abundantly rewarding day! Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them. The mediocre teacher…
Which is a wonderful irony, I have property there. I go back every chance I get. One of the main reasons I actually wrote the book, agreed to write it having never wanted to do that in my life, very intimidating by the way to write a book. I would consider a half hour sitcom…
The answer, of course, in the mouth of a Christian teacher is that in Christianity alone is there both present joy and future hope. We believed that growth through Local Government, and perhaps through some special machinery for bringing the wishes and influence of women of all classes to bear on Parliament, other than the…
I think Douglas was a real one-off. He was so clever and so intelligent and so well read in real science that he could make science fiction work as well as it did. And just such fun to have around, he was just such a lovely man. We were only there for five days and…
Now, we used to say we put on our tights to put on the world. So I don’t think it tarnishes the image at all. I don’t see on television the kind of blood and guts and body parts blown apart that maybe you’re referring to, but it certainly is in that BATMAN feature and…
I work with structure, but I go outside the box and give it my own spin. I adore the challenge of creating truly modern clothes – where a woman’s personality and sense of style are realized. When I decided to get married at 40, I couldn’t find a dress with the modernity or sophistication I…
