Reuven RivlinIt seems to me that many of the belligerent Jewish movements that were built upon hatred of Arabs - and I'm not only talking about Lieberman, but within the Likud as well - grew out of the patronizing socialist attitude that said, 'They'll be there, and we'll be here.'102

Stephen MoyerVampires are so old that they don't need to impress anyone anymore. They're comfortable in their own skin. It's this enigmatic strength that's very romantic and old-fashioned.

Sophia MylesI've spent a lot of time in L.A. and I love it. A lot of Brits can't stand the place, but I like the West Coast attitude and the way people celebrate success.102
Susan ChoiI think 'Gatsby' is hobbled, in part, by its status as a Great American Novel. People kind of roll their eyes before they've even opened it, treat it with a 'been there, done that' attitude. I know I did. It took me years to re-open the novel and see how much I'd missed.102
Terrence MalickI film quite a bit of footage, then edit. Changes before your eyes, things you can do and things you can't. My attitude is always 'let it keep rolling.'102

Bessie HeadA discipline I have observed is an attitude of love and reverence to people.102
Christopher IsherwoodWhat irritates me is the bland way people go around saying, 'Oh, our attitude has changed. We don't dislike these people any more.' But by the strangest coincidence, they haven't taken away the injustice; the laws are still on the books.102
Scott BrownSomehow, the greater the public opposition to the health care bill, the more determined they seem to force it on us anyway.

Jennifer SkyI came on to the film with a very happy-go-lucky attitude which I think my character, Charlie, did when she went into the house. I expected it to be good, and then slowly things started to change for us all.102
Morag JossMy father was a psychiatrist, the medical director of a mental hospital in Scotland, and when I was a student, I took vacation jobs there as a nursing assistant.

Maya AngelouIf you don't like something, change it. If you can't change it, change your attitude. 103

Joyce MeyerI believe that a trusting attitude and a patient attitude go hand in hand. You see, when you let go and learn to trust God, it releases joy in your life.

Paul PierceMy brother was a huge Charles Barkley fan - my brother went to Miami. He played power forward, and he always used to tell me stories about Barkley and college. And I watched Barkley growing up. I loved what he brought to the game. His toughness and just his attitude, being as strong he was.103
Steve WynnThis generation... they have a different attitude. Instead of sitting and watching something, they want to be a part of it - they're very hedonistic and sensual.103
William J. Brennan, Jr.There are no menial jobs, only menial attitudes.103
Yamamoto TsunetomoOne's appearance bespeaks dignity corresponding to the depth of his character.

Such outward appearance, in short, comes from constant attentiveness and seriousness.103
Amy AdamsI think a lot of times we don't pay enough attention to people with a positive attitude because we assume they are naive or stupid or unschooled.103

David SanbornIn regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn. Don't dismiss something out of hand because you think it's either beneath you or outside of the realm of where your interests lie.103
Evan ParkerCertain kinds of speed, flow, intensity, density of attacks, density of interaction... Music that concentrates on those qualities is, I think, easier achieved by free improvisation between people sharing a common attitude, a common language.103
J. R. MoehringerLike the Earth, the Web is a less appealing place than it used to be. If I want attitude and arguing and meanness and profanity and wrong information screamed at me as gospel, I'll get in a time machine and spend Christmas with my family in 1977.103
Lesley GoreReally you just gotta keep chugging along and keep a positive attitude and get through all the problems. You gotta face them, otherwise you don't get through.103
Lita FordStiletto, I look at it more as an attitude as opposed to a high-heeled shoe.103
Margaret SangerWoman must have her freedom, the fundamental freedom of choosing whether or not she will be a mother and how many children she will have. Regardless of what man's attitude may be, that problem is hers - and before it can be his, it is hers alone.103
Ray RomanoRight after 'Raymond' I had a world-is-my-oyster attitude, but I found out I don't like oysters. I had this existential emptiness. 'What is my purpose? Who am I?' I had a big identity crisis.103
Sania MirzaEveryone has attitude, and I think everyone should have attitude. But I know I have attitude, but that's just, I think if you don't have attitude, it comes only with self confidence. So if you don't have self confidence, you won't have attitude, and I think there's a difference when you have attitude and when you have arrogance.103
Stacey SniderFor 'Fright Night,' we really want to convey the fun attitude of the movie and show the intensity of Colin Farrell as a predator. He's not a brooding vampire - he's dark and dangerous.103
Teddy ThompsonI like England more than I did when I left. It's become a bit of a better country in the last ten years, in the attitude of it. A bit more Americanized, which is both good and bad. At least when you order a cup of coffee they don't give you a hard time.103
Charles FrazierHardboiled crime fiction came of age in 'Black Mask' magazine during the Twenties and Thirties. Writers like Dashiell Hammett and Raymond Chandler learnt their craft and developed a distinct literary style and attitude toward the modern world.103
Dennis EckersleyI always had the attitude that I wanted to throw a no-hitter every game.103
Eric CarrYou know, who cares about seeing the girls when everybody wants to see the band. That's what's important, KISS is important. I think we look great, and the attitude is there, and I'm real happy with it.103
John McCarthyIf a person can be said to have the wrong attitude, there is no need to pay attention to his arguments.103
Jordin SparksThat term's definitely got a negative aura to it, because people think a diva is somebody with an attitude who demands things all the time. Of course there is that type of diva, but my idea of a diva has always been a singer - whether male or female - who gets on that stage and captivates you with their presence and their voice.103
Kevin LimaWe didn't ever want 'Tarzan' to feel like he was just a man. We didn't want him to stand up straight or wave good-bye. We wanted to make sure he always had that piece of gorilla in him, that he always had an animal attitude about him.103
Larisa OleynikI don't know that I have any role models now that are fixed. Definitely my mom - she's the coolest. She's worked really hard her whole life and I just think she's got a great attitude. Moms just know so much it's so silly.103
Rory KinnearIf you look at a painting that you love by one of the great masters, every time you go back to it, you see something different - a different attitude or brushstroke. 'Hamlet' is like an entire gallery of old masters.103
Tatyana TolstayaI don't think people are fools, and I think they deserve a good attitude and smart entertainment.103
Charice PempengcoBeyonce is one of my inspirations. Her attitude, her style, her voice... she's perfect.103
Doris RobertsWith my talent, I can make people laugh and give them another attitude about life. What a blessing that is for me.103
Phaneesh MurthyI have met so many people who are negative, and it tells on their attitude towards life and towards everything.103
Roy RomerWe can do better in higher education. And it is more than just technology. It's also an attitude on the part of faculty. We need to think through how we can produce a better quality product at less cost.103
Samantha MumbaThere are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they're all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion.103
Sarah ParishI'd love to look like my mum when I am her age. She taught ballet for years, and my attitude to exercise and fitness has definitely been influenced by her. She's 84 now, and I've watched how well she has aged, and a lot of that is to do with her fantastic posture.103
Satish KumarIf you can kill animals, the same attitude can kill human beings. The mentality is the same which exploits nature and which creates wars.103
Bill MauldinPatton was living in the Dark Ages. Soldiers were peasants to him. I didn't like that attitude.103
Jack O'BrienI have a company attitude about my work. I don't like to do just one thing; I like to do a lot of things.103
Richie AllenI'd like to get out of Philadelphia. I don't care for the people or their attitude, although they don't bother me or my play. But maybe the Phillies can get a couple of broken bats and shower shoes for me.103
Stephnie WeirI got to work with Rachel Dratch, and she just had such a funny, roll-with-it attitude when she would approach the stage and could turn anything into a gem.103
Charles RevsonIf you can't change your fate, change your attitude.103
Rirkrit TiravanijaI'm ephemeral as much as I can be, so I started to think about the idea of not working. It's really about a change of attitude. It's not so much about stopping, but about re-thinking the meaning of one's production.103
Rokia TraoreGoing back and forth between Western Arabic and African countries clearly created the various musical backgrounds I could have and obviously influenced my professional attitude, my way of approaching both music composition and singing, particularly phrasing.103
Jon FishmanI think that generally music should be a positive thing, I like Bob Marley's attitude: he said that his goal in life was to single handedly fight all the evil in the world with nothing but music, and when he went to a place he didn't go to play, he went to conquer.103
Arthur Holly ComptonMy first feeling about the paper and the attitude is that it is absurd.103
John BurdettIn essence, the Thai people are not materialistic at all. They're not in the least driven by the kind of ambition that drives us. The more I got to know them, and the more time I spent with them, the more I understood that this was a totally legitimate attitude to life, and why not?103
Joe FlahertyI haven't watched 'Mad TV' a lot, but I have seen some stuff on there that is truly funny. You have to have some sort of attitude toward the subject, and they seem to have it. It depends on how much blood you want to draw.103
James Truslow AdamsSeek out that particular mental attribute which makes you feel most deeply and vitally alive, along with which comes the inner voice which says, 'This is the real me,' and when you have found that attitude, follow it.103
Jessie BaylinI think leather pants are just better than jeans onstage; they give the performance a nice attitude, and they are also shockingly comfortable. Comfort is key.103
Frank SinatraCock your hat - angles are attitudes. 104
Virat KohliA fit body gives you confidence. And there's nothing more impressive than a great attitude, which you can wear on your sleeve. But you'll have to remember the difference between being rude and being confident.104
Anne HathawayWe assume that we've come so far as compassionate citizens of the world if we do choose to read the news, yet the attitude towards life can be one where we put blinders on and forget that there are civil wars going on. It's easy to forget that there are so many people starving to death every single day.104
Big BoiThe music is first and foremost everything - no egos, no attitude, nothing - it's about the music.104
Cliff RichardBut Jesus changes your attitude towards yourself and towards other people.104
Hayley WilliamsI enjoy punk, the attitude as well as the music, but I don't feel like I have to be a carbon copy of it and invite all this controversy just to be punk rock.104
Martha BeckAs a life coach, I love makeovers, from new clothes to surgery, pedicures to highlights. But redoing makes you feel better only if approached with the right attitude.104
Paul ValeryOur judgments judge us, and nothing reveals us, exposes our weaknesses, more ingeniously than the attitude of pronouncing upon our fellows.104
Ralph MarstonExcellence is not a skill, it's an attitude. 104
Richard PryorWhen you ain't got no money, you gotta get an attitude.104
Tom T. HallWhen you retire, it's a place in life, a part of the journey. You just don't quit work; you develop an attitude where you can do what you please.104
Yousuf KarshThere is a brief moment when all there is in a man's mind and soul and spirit is reflected through his eyes, his hands, his attitude. This is the moment to record.104
Barbara CorcoranA complainer is like a Death Eater because there's a suction of negative energy. You can catch a great attitude from great people.104
Dar WilliamsIf you're looking for can-do, earthy-crunchy attitude then you've got to go to Wisconsin.104
Eliza DushkuThere is definitely something sexy about a girl with an attitude and a pair of leather pants.104
Emmylou HarrisAnimals have a much better attitude to life and death than we do. They know when their time has come. We are the ones that suffer when they pass, but it's a healing kind of grief that enables us to deal with other griefs that are not so easy to grab hold of.104
Fritz SauckelAlthough as a sailor I despised politics - for I loved my sailor's life and still love it today - conditions forced me to take up a definite attitude towards political problems.104
Hamdi UlukayaEvery small business will give you an entrepreneurial way of looking at things. I guarantee you that for every plant that closes, if you gave it to one small-business person in that community, he or she would find a way to make it work. The small-business attitude is you always find a way to make it work.104
Jane AddamsCivilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men.104
Michael KordaThe purely agitation attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.104
Mike LoveI know there's millions of problems in the world, but if you dwell on those, then you're going to be miserable. I think my meditation helps me to transcend and get beyond the grip of all the negativity and regenerate from within a more positive attitude, which comes in very handy when you're going to do 150 concerts a year.104
Vernon A. WaltersAmericans have always had an ambivalent attitude toward intelligence. When they feel threatened, they want a lot of it, and when they don't, they regard the whole thing as somewhat immoral.104
Wade BoggsOur lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens, not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.104
Walt HandelsmanYouth is really in your attitude, not in what you look like.104
Aleksander KwasniewskiWe have become aware of the responsibility for our attitude towards the dark pages in our history. We have understood that bad service is done to the nation by those who are impelling to renounce that past.104
Dwight Schultz'UFO's' attitude toward the subject is very similar to mine. It's not an advocacy; its philosophy is more 'I want to believe this, but I want it proved.'104
Rick SantelliWhen you are facing the wilderness on your own, you have a totally different attitude to someone who works in government or who has a monthly cheque.104
Stephane RollandI love a woman in a tuxedo, or in a dress, who looks comfortable, relaxed, happy. I'd love to dress Daphne Guinness - she has exactly that attitude.104
Walter AndersonI am responsible. Although I may not be able to prevent the worst from happening, I am responsible for my attitude toward the inevitable misfortunes that darken life.104
Boris SpasskyThe place of chess in the society is closely related to the attitude of young people towards our game.104
Chris ToumazouThe old university attitude of 'publish or perish' has changed. Students and academics are realising that institutions such as Imperial College are also wealth-generators. It is very satisfying to be in a university where you have the freedom to innovate and yet know that there is a path to translate your work into industry.104
Jessica SavitchNever refuse an assignment except when there is a conflict of interest, a potential of danger to you or your family, or you hold a strongly biased attitude about the subject under focus.104
Joey RamoneAll punk is is attitude. That's what makes it. The attitude.104
Len G. MurrayThere does not seem to be that collegiality I referred to, there seems to be much more of a them versus us attitude, rather than we all have a role to play in this process so let's get on with it.104
Timothy F. CahillI want to work with kids and help develop them, show them the right way, the right morals and attitude into how to become a better footballer. Australia has many different cultures but I'd like to bring in the indigenous style, bring their competitiveness, athleticism and raw ability into the frame.104
Tionne WatkinsI had an attitude problem when I was a kid. I'm not gonna lie.104
Tristan MacManusIt can be easy to buy into anything. I would lose focus if I went with that attitude of wanting to be famous.104
Ed LeeWhat I learned with tech companies is I gotta give people room to experiment, and also to make what might later on be a mistake. This is the attitude I want to build within San Francisco - give some time to the tech community.104
Lisa Ann WalterIf wearing the Spanx helps you get looks, and you feel that energy and response, and you're rocking your body with confidence, that's still how you'll feel about yourself when you get home and take the Spanx off... If your attitude improves from the Spanx, wear the Spanx!104
Melissa De SousaYou have to have an attitude that nothing's gonna stop me. I think that's just my New York kind of attitude - survival of the fittest.104
Thomas GriffithIts attitude, which it has preached and practiced, is skepticism. Now, it finds, the public is applying that skepticism to the press.104
Tomas BorgeGlobal political conditions make a direct American intervention difficult, but President Reagan's messianic and visceral attitude toward the Nicaraguan revolution could mean it will happen as an act of desperation.104
Cynthia P. SchneiderMeasuring success in cultural diplomacy - the use of education, creative expression in any form, or people-to-people exchange to increase understanding across regions, cultures, or peoples - is challenging. How does one quantify changes in attitude, abandoning stereotypes, or feeling empathy as a result of a performance, a film, a book?104
Daniel PetrieThere has been a change in attitude, though.104
Rob SimmonsMy opponents attitude is, 'If it moves, tax it, if it keeps moving, regulate it and when it stops, subsidize it.104
Santiago CabreraI've never been in any country for more than four years, and I'm learning different languages all the time. It gives you a different attitude.104
Alexis WrightThat attitude that I wouldn't succeed didn't come from my family; it came from school and then the township we lived in. I wasn't going to settle for that, and my mother warned us not to settle for less, to make the most of our lives.104
Rafael MoneoI liked painting and drawing, and I liked humanities mainly - poetry, literature - this speculative attitude toward life.104
Mick MarsWhen I drank, I had a very different attitude towards my playing. It was sloppier but I kind of liked it that way. It was like the alcohol was telling my mind what to do.104
J. Donald WaltersHappiness is an attitude of mind, born of the simple determination to be happy under all outward circumstances.104
Aldous HuxleyThe secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.105
Kurt CobainThere's nothing better than having a baby. I've always loved children. I used to work summers at the YMCA and be in charge of, like, 30 preschool kids. I knew that when I had a child, I'd be overwhelmed, and it's true... I can't tell you how much my attitude has changed since we've got Frances. Holding my baby is the best drug in the world.105
Lou HoltzVirtually nothing is impossible in this world if you just put your mind to it and maintain a positive attitude.105
Joel OsteenChoosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.105
Bikram ChoudhuryNegative attitude is nine times more powerful than positive attitude.105
Billy IdolI don't think punk ever really dies, because punk rock attitude can never die.105

Francine ProseI know a lot of Eastern Europeans, and because of what they have been through and what they have seen, they have an attitude where they are not easily fooled.105
George Herbert MeadTo so enter into it in nature and art that the enjoyed meanings of life may become a part of living is the attitude of aesthetic appreciation.105
Gordon B. HinckleyMeekness implies a spirit of gratitude as opposed to an attitude of self-sufficiency, an acknowledgement of a greater power beyond oneself, a recognition of God, and an acceptance of his commandments.105
Kevin PlankYour attitude is contagious.105
Ludwig von MisesOnly one thing can conquer war - that attitude of mind which can see nothing in war but destruction and annihilation.105
Marjory Stoneman DouglasAll we need, really, is a change from a near frigid to a tropical attitude of mind.105
Natalie MassenetAlways go into meetings or negotiations with a positive attitude. Tell yourself you're going to make this the best deal for all parties.105
Steven BikoBeing black is not a matter of pigmentation - being black is a reflection of a mental attitude.105
Tom PettyI don't think it's a good attitude in your life to feel that you have to be rich to have self-esteem.105
W. Averell HarrimanThe war changed everybody's attitude. We became international almost overnight.105
Walter BenjaminIt is precisely the purpose of the public opinion generated by the press to make the public incapable of judging, to insinuate into it the attitude of someone irresponsible, uninformed.105
William ShatnerOver the years, I've become barraged by comments from people, such as, 'Beam me up, Scotty!' and I became defensive. I felt they were derisive and engendered an attitude. I am grateful for the success, but didn't want to be mocked.105
Yani TsengI will keep smiling, be positive and never give up! I will give 100 percent each time I play. These are always my goals and my attitude.105
Ann LeckieI think a lot of times our culture has an attitude toward art and the production of art that separates artists from the rest of us, like making art or music or painting or whatever is some magical thing that you have to be inspired to do, and special people do it.105
Buddy ValastroNo matter what the recipe, any baker can do wonders in the kitchen with some good ingredients and an upbeat attitude!105
Chuck ZitoI broke two knuckles in my right hand when I gave Jean-Claude Van Damme an attitude adjustment. I got nothing except a medical bill.105
Edgar RamirezI think that, in the end, the military behavior and intelligence services are not very different from each other. It's an attitude of hunters; they're observing the prey.105
Nick LoweElvis Costello had a brand new bag. He was a musician, but he knew all about the attitude part of it.105
Sidney SheldonI always spend time exploring the customs and attitudes of the countries I'm using for locations, and interviewing the people who live there. I've visited over 90 countries thus far.105
Sue WicksPlayers should know that if you can't make the contribution of the winning shot, that your attitude every day when you come to practice, or the positive contribution you make through cheering and keeping up team morale, is just as important in the overall picture.105
Vic SnyderIf you eat something and get fat, you should be responsible for it. I think that is the attitude of the great majority of Americans, that you should be responsible for what you eat.105
Frida GustavssonA Maybelline New York woman is strong and confident - I love that attitude.105
Jesse EisenbergI tend to be pessimistic about everything: If things seem to be going good, I'm worried that it's going to end; if things are bad, then I'm worried that it's going to be permanent. It's not a very comfortable attitude to have all the time.105
Keri SmithWe're drawn to making our mark, leaving a record to show we were here, and a journal is a great place to do it. Once you start drawing, writing, and gluing stuff in every day, it can quickly become a habit - addictive, even. Your attitude should be: 'I can do this, but I mustn't make it too intimidating.'105
Mark SpitzThe pool is terrible, but that doesn't have much to do with my record swims. That's all mental attitude.105
William Griffith WilsonWe will see that our new attitude toward liquor has been given to us without any thought or effort on our part. It just comes! That is the miracle of it.105
James MercerMaybe it's just parenthood that puts you in a situation where you just have to develop a new attitude, I guess, about things.105
Kenneth MoreBader's philosophy was my philosophy. His whole attitude to life was mine.105
Michael MoriartyI hate going to L.A. and dealing with the contempt people have for television and television actors. It's unbelievable the kind of attitude people take toward what is the most exciting medium we've got right now.105
Paul TwitchellOur spiritual attitude is determined by our conception of our relation to infinite spirit.105
SelenaIf you try to come off as this big-time star with an attitude, people don't like that.105
Gianna Angelopoulos-DaskalakiThe Olympic Games are a national cause, and a national cause calls for a nationwide attitude.105
Gordon GouldThat attitude does not exist so much today, but in those days there was a very sharp distinction between basic physics and applied physics. Columbia did not deal with applied physics.105
Michael BiehnI saw 'Taxi Driver,' and 'Taxi Driver' kind of saved my life. The scene where Robert De Niro is looking at himself in the mirror saying, 'You talkin' to me? You talkin' to me? Who the hell else are you talkin' to?' That's the scene that changed my life by changing my attitude about acting.105
Toni ServilloNeapolitans are extremely empathetic, whereas the typical northern attitude is more about not showing or sharing your feelings.105
Malcolm-Jamal WarnerPeople kind of have a misconception, because when someone calls me Theo and I correct them, say, 'No, my name is Malcolm,' they think I have an attitude about it and I don't want to be associated with the show.105
Mekhi PhiferI grew up in a rough environment. You want to be strong and have your presence felt out there. That attitude reflects how people see you.105
Melanie BrownLook, everything that you experience as a kid is the foundation of how you are today. I was brought up in a working class family in Leeds and when it comes to money both my parents worked hard and instilled the same attitude into me.105
Steve AntinI always wanted to be a filmmaker, but I started acting when I was 9 years old. I looked a certain part that I wasn't, really. I played, you know, a high school jock with a lot of attitude or a spoiled rich kid, and I was neither of those things. I was from a very working-class family in Van Nuys.105
Jez ButterworthMy father got a trade union scholarship to Oxford; he lived and breathed politics; he was always watching current-affairs programmes. But I have a five-year-old child's attitude towards the news. Mainly, that it absolutely turns me off.105
Jiah KhanSexy is attitude, but fitness for me is my dance. I dance two hours nearly every day. You break into good sweat, and it doesn't even feel like exercise. Apart from that, I enjoy Pilates.105
John SentamuIf the rights of civil partners are met differently in law to those of married couples, there is no discrimination in law, and if civil partnerships are seen as somehow 'second class' that is a social attitude which will change and cannot, in any case, be turned around by redefining the law of marriage.105
Colin PowellIf you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.106
Norman Vincent PealeWatch your manner of speech if you wish to develop a peaceful state of mind. Start each day by affirming peaceful, contented and happy attitudes and your days will tend to be pleasant and successful.106
Charles R. SwindollAttitude is more important than the past, than education, than money, than circumstances, than what people do or say. It is more important than appearance, giftedness, or skill.106
Bo BennettHaving a positive mental attitude is asking how something can be done rather than saying it can't be done.106
Lindsey StirlingIf your mom asks you to do the dishes, do not pull out your pirate attitude. But if someone tells you you're not good enough, says your dreams are too lofty, or claims there is no room in showbiz for a dancing violinist - well then, by all means, pull out your eye patch, my friend, and take to the high seas.106
Paul WalkerAttitude is attitude, whether you're a West Coast gangster or East Coast gangster, you know?106
Ted TurnerI've never run into a guy who could win at the top level in anything today and didn't have the right attitude, didn't give it everything he had, at least while he was doing it; wasn't prepared and didn't have the whole program worked out.106
X. J. KennedyThe attitude that poetry should not be analyzed is prevalent among many who consider themselves experts on children's literature. But I suspected that kids like to look closely at things and figure out what makes them go.106
Donald JohansonCommitment, belief and positive attitude are all important if you're going to be a success, whether you're in sports, in business or, as in my case, anthropology.106
Harrison BirtwistleThe theatre only knows what it's doing next week, not like the opera, where they say: What are we going to do in five years' time? A completely different attitude.106
Hermann MaierMy attitude on skis is different now. I have learned to put less pressure on myself and on the edges of my skis when I'm racing, to be keep myself more under control.106
Sharon GlessI kind of resent this attitude of men that we somehow must always look good.106
Stuart ChaseAttitude is your acceptance of the natural laws, or your rejection of the natural laws.106
Allen KleinYou may not be able to change a situation, but with humor you can change your attitude about it.106
Ellen WillisMy deepest impulses are optimistic, an attitude that seems to me as spiritually necessary and proper as it is intellectually suspect.106
Lascelles AbercrombieEpic poetry exhibits life in some great symbolic attitude. It cannot strictly be said to symbolize life itself, but always some manner of life.106
Lawrence KasdanI haven't seen Clones, which has been during this period when I haven't seen much of anything, but I did see Phantom Menace, and see my feelings about it - see, first of all, I think that when you make a lot of movies, your attitude about the movies changes.106
Megan HiltyI totally let myself indulge, but I make little deals with myself. If I have an extra cupcake, I'll run a couple of extra miles. I think it's all about balance and not getting into extremes with dieting and exercising. Having a healthy attitude is important, too!106
Nicos AnastasiadesThe attitude of the people proves that not only do we want to, but that we can succeed in pulling our country out of the difficult position it finds itself in. The banking system of our country will survive and grow.106
Peter ShiltonThe money is in a different league these days, of course, but I have special memories of the 60s and 70s which players today don't have. There wasn't the same celebrity attitude and media exposure. We had a bit more freedom.106
Ritchie BlackmoreI was impressed by Hendrix. His attitude was brilliant. Even the way he walked was amazing.106
Clara ZetkinIn individual industries where female labour pays an important role, any movement advocating better wages, shorter working hours, etc., would not be doomed from the start because of the attitude of those women workers who are not organized.106
Diane WakoskiI think one of the things that language poets are very involved with is getting away from conventional ideas of beauty, because those ideas contain a certain attitude toward women, certain attitudes toward sex, certain attitudes toward race, etc.106
Gong LiWhen I speak in English, my expressions become different. My attitude, too. I'm not sure why, but there really is a difference. My hands move differently when I speak English.106
Kevin JorgesonWhen you're climbing with someone who always sees the bright spot, even if there is no bright spot, that attitude is really helpful.106
Meg RosoffI've been fired five times for having a bad attitude.106
Ravi TejaAudiences like me doing action and comedy. I am a jovial person and have been so from childhood. I like to laugh my way through my work, and that attitude reflects in my roles. Even women hate me doing rona-dhona roles. So I don't do emotional films.106
Cory LidleIf I don't make the team out of spring training, I'll keep a good attitude. I'll just go polish up the parts of my game that made me not stay in the big leagues.106
Max StirnerBefore the sacred, people lose all sense of power and all confidence; they occupy a powerless and humble attitude toward it. And yet no thing is sacred of itself, but by my declaring it sacred, by my declaration, my judgment, my bending the knee; in short, by my - conscience.106
Miller WilliamsFor something to be useful to the spirit is not very valuable to get your covered wagon across the desert. We have adopted that attitude so thoroughly that any American father whose son tells him he wants to write poetry will be embarrassed.106
Rick DerringerI've always been a guy who's pretty supportive, its just my nature, so I came in to the situation with the attitude that I wanted to support Johnny and make it work.106
Roy KeaneI try and have a relaxed attitude and stay quite switched off until about an hour before kick-off.106
Alvin AdamsUnfortunately, the attitude of many towards the press, humanitarians included and especially government workers, is often one of suspicion, if not outright fear.106
John SchlesingerThat attitude toward women as objects may have worked for the late Sixties, but it doesn't do so now.106
William JamesThe greatest discovery of my generation is that a human being can alter his life by altering his attitudes.107
Charles R. SwindollWhen you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.107
AeschylusIt is in the character of very few men to honor without envy a friend who has prospered.107
Arthur AsheThe ideal attitude is to be physically loose and mentally tight.107
Christian LouboutinWhen a woman puts on a heel, she has a different posture, a different attitude. She really stands up and has a consciousness of her body.107
Clare BaldingBeing made to feel like an irrelevant child was probably an asset. Benign negligence is not a bad parental attitude or at least a cross between a benevolent dictator and benign negligence - you should just let kids crack on with it.107
Earl NightingaleA great attitude does much more than turn on the lights in our worlds; it seems to magically connect us to all sorts of serendipitous opportunities that were somehow absent before the change.107
Elizabeth EdwardsA positive attitude is not going to save you. What it's going to do is, everyday, between now and the day you die, whether that's a short time from now or a long time from now, that every day, you're going to actually live.107
Harold S. GeneenThe best way to inspire people to superior performance is to convince them by everything you do and by your everyday attitude that you are wholeheartedly supporting them.107
Ivan IllichThe compulsion to do good is an innate American trait. Only North Americans seem to believe that they always should, may, and actually can choose somebody with whom to share their blessings. Ultimately this attitude leads to bombing people into the acceptance of gifts.107
Kathleen TurnerBeing a sex symbol has to do with an attitude, not looks. Most men think it's looks, most women know otherwise.107
Lily JamesI really have been lucky because I've always had a very healthy attitude to my body.107
Pat RileyGreat effort springs naturally from great attitude.107
Tony StewartI go into it with the attitude that I'm not going to look at my leg, and as soon as they get the wrapping off of it, I'm like, 'I've got to look.' It's like yelling at a dog going, 'Squirrel!' I cannot not look. And then I spend the rest of the time sitting there with a wet washcloth on my forehead trying to regain consciousness.107
Denise MinaEven if people do wrong, we're social animals, so what can we do about stopping them doing the same things in future? Saying people are 'bad' or 'evil' is just an unwillingness to engage; an unwillingness to try to empathise. That sanctimonious attitude doesn't help anyone.107
Freddy AduI just want to go in with the right attitude and from Day 1 make a difference.107
Gerald ChertavianYou can learn what you want to learn through hard work. And a good employer will teach you what you want to learn as long as you show the right attitude and behaviors.107
Hank StramYou can't win unless you have good people with great attitude. They are the ones who won the games. I didn't win any games. You never saw a coach make a tackle anywhere. My philosophy was to get the best players and then try to do something new with them.107
Kerry KingI don't reflect much, unless I'm talking to the media. I have more of a 'Forward, march!' kind of attitude.107
Marilu HennerMost of us start out with a positive attitude and a plan to do our best.107
Mitch KaporBefore I started a company, I was an employee with a bad attitude. I was always felt like, bosses are stupid, and people weren't well treated.107
Nia LongI think Nina Simone has had an amazing journey. She was spicy and she had attitude and she didn't care, she wanted her money in a paper bag and don't mess with me and I've been doing some research on that so.107
Robert PalmerI'm not concerned that my stuff isn't extreme. I don't want to be heavy. I can't think of another attitude to have toward an audience than a hopeful and a positive one. And if that includes such unfashionable things as sentimentality, well, I can afford it.107
Tibor FischerIt's true, some senior Hungarian writers are not known for their laughter. There is a strong Germanic influence - an attitude that if it's enjoyable it can't possibly be literature.107
Henry EyringI believe that what is really important is that God can speak to us. If we have the humility to approach him in prayer with the right attitude, he can speak to our intelligence directly.107
Martina NavratilovaLife is about challenges and how we face up to them and the attitude we take into every day life so hopefully we'll be able to motivate people to do more with their life.107
Parker PoseyMy grandmother is this amazingly theatrical woman. She acted like a movie star, as far as looks and attitude, kind of like Susan Hayward.107
Peter HollingworthI think the truth is, we are all racist, really, when it comes down to it. I think all of us have to check ourselves from time to time, and say, 'Look, that sort of attitude isn't good enough.' It takes discipline to keep our prejudices out.107
Shahid KapoorI am a Piscean, and they have a lovingly detached attitude towards life.107
Stephane RollandI love a woman with a relaxed attitude.107
Bill VeeckEvery baseball crowd, like every theatre audience, has its own distinctive attitude and atmosphere.107
Chris GabrieliI've spent enough time in the business community to know there are certain regulators who are very constructive in their approach - those who enforce the laws and who actually want to help you comply - and there are others who have a prosecutorial attitude.107
E. P. ThompsonI think that the U.S. does have this very much more open attitude, and I admire it very much and I think it's very important to the world. But the information and the discussion sometimes come too late, after the effective decision has been made.107
Kirsten SweetlandNatural ability is important, but you can go far without it if you have the focus, drive, desire and positive attitude.107
Koo StarkI was entirely natural and in many ways I have the same attitude now. I don't mourn the loss of my youth because I believe you should enjoy what you have while you have it.107
June JordanThat attitude that fighting is probably not fair, but you have to defend yourself anyway and damage the enemy, has been profoundly consequential as far as my political activism goes.107
Ashraf BarhomThere are many movies which come with an attitude of black and white. I am good and you are bad. And there are many movies that are also trying to see the reality as it is or to discover what really is behind the character or events.107
Mike MignolaMy Hellboy is modeled on my father in some ways: a guy who's been in the Korean War, and he's traveled, and he's done a lot of stuff, and he's kind of got a been there, done that attitude. He's also been in the world. Del Toro's change was to have Hellboy bottled up in a room and mooning over the girl he can't have.107
Juliette LewisFame can be just so annoying because people are so critical of you. You can't just say, 'hi'. You say hi and people whisper' man did you see the way she said hi? What an attitude.107
Lou HoltzAbility is what you're capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it.108
Norman Vincent PealeAny fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are.108
Adriana LimaBe sure what you want and be sure about yourself. Fashion is not just beauty, it's about good attitude. You have to believe in yourself and be strong.108
Alejandro JodorowskyYou live in the image you have of the world. Every one of us lives in a different world, with different space and different time.108
Alfred AdlerIt is one of the most effective attitudes of the neurotic to measure thumbs down, so to speak, a real person by an ideal, since in doing so he can depreciate him as much as he wishes.108
Brian TracyYou cannot control what happens to you, but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you, and in that, you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.108
Christian LouboutinI mean, the shoe - there is a music to it, there is attitude, there is sound, it's a movement. Clothes - it's a different story. There are a million things I'd rather do before designing clothes: directing, landscaping.108
Donald KnuthLet us change our traditional attitude to the construction of programs. Instead of imagining that our main task is to instruct a computer what to do, let us concentrate rather on explaining to human beings what we want a computer to do.108
Elmore LeonardWhen you are developing your style, you avoid weaknesses. I am not good at describing things, so I stay away from it. And if anyone is going to describe anything at all, it's going to be from the point of view of the character, because then I can use his voice, and his attitude will be revealed in the way he describes what he sees.108
Francis Parker YockeyPessimism only describes an attitude, and not facts, and hence is entirely subjective.108
Nancy PearceyIn Gnosticism, the physical world did not ultimately matter - which meant physical suffering did not matter either. Seeking 'enlightenment' meant cultivating an attitude of detachment, even indifference.108
Walter ScottSuccess or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.108
Wilhelm WundtThe attitude of physiological psychology to sensations and feelings, considered as psychical elements, is, naturally, the attitude of psychology at large.108
Al JourgensenI was stupid when I started: the epitome of bright-eyed and bushy-tailed. It was like, 'I get to live in L.A. and drive around in limos? Really?' I didn't realize I was owned. The more money gets pumped into you, the more you become a marionette. It made me a true redneck in attitude: I never wanted to wake up ever again feeling owned.108
Eric DavisI was fortunate to play for Pete Rose and have teammates like Ken Griffey Sr., Tony Perez and Dave Concepcion. I grew up in the game with a mature attitude. I've always known it was better to be seen and not heard.108
Marcia AngellThere is something so biologically implausible that your attitude is going to cure a disease. There's a tremendous arrogance to imagine that your mind is all that powerful.108
Michael HanekeFilms for TV have to be much closer to the book, mainly because the objective with a TV movie that translates literature is to get the audience, after seeing this version, to pick up the book and read it themselves. My attitude is that TV can never really be any form of art, because it serves audience expectations.108
Sara BlakelyI think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating. Most people attach failure to something not working out or how people perceive you. This way, it is about answering to yourself.108
Willem de KooningThe attitude that nature is chaotic and that the artist puts order into it is a very absurd point of view, I think. All that we can hope for is to put some order into ourselves.108
Caroline BuchananAny race I go into, I've always got the attitude of throwing myself into and wanting nothing but No. 1.108
Cheryl JamesOur attitude is that we want to cross over. You can't go on making records just for your own hometown.108
Jochen ZeitzWe should bring in an environmental attitude, and I think luxury should automatically be about sustainability and quality.108
John OrtbergBeing deeply contented with God in my everyday life is a focused attitude. It is always available. It means practicing letting go of my obsession with how I'm doing. It means training myself to learn to actually be present with people, and seeking to love them.108
Kurt BusiekYou've got to leave the reader with more than just a name and a costume - they need to know who the character is, what they're like, what kind of attitude they have, what sort of role they play.108
Sade AduI'm not anti-fashion, but I've always had a bit of a punk attitude. That's important, I think. I do my own thing.108
Steve ForbesThe phenomenon of home schooling is a wonderful example of the American can-do attitude. Growing numbers of parents have become disenchanted with government-run public schools. Many parents have simply taken matters into their own hands, literally.108
Richard DreyfussWhen you Google me, you'll find a lot of people don't like Richard Dreyfuss. Because I'm cocky and I present a cocky attitude. But no one has ever disagreed with the notion I represent, that we need more civic education. So far there's 100 percent support for that.108
Tony HillermanI always have one or two, sometimes more, Navajo or other tribes' cultural elements in mind when I start a plot. In Thief of Time, I wanted to make readers aware of Navajo attitude toward the dead, respect for burial sites.108
Christopher LambertIf a site is done with pleasure and a fun attitude, it's a great way to communicate with your fans.108
Renato DulbeccoWe have ourselves begun to put our house in order by banning some experiments that may contain a risk for mankind. We would like to see society take a similar attitude, abandoning selfish practices that are dangerous for society itself.108
Riteish DeshmukhI think to take your shirt off, you need to have a great body and more than that, confidence and attitude. It's all related. A great body equals confidence, and confidence equals attitude. And when you put all three together, you get a Salman Khan! And that's not me.108
Ruth Prawer JhabvalaFirst, I was so dazzled and besotted by India. People said the poverty was biblical, and I'm afraid that was my attitude, too. It's terribly easy to get used to someone else's poverty if you're living a middle-class life in it. But after a while, I saw it wasn't possible to accept it, and I also didn't want to.108
Michael KinsleyIn 1977, at least, he wished to have people believe that he shared and was proud of an attitude toward women that is not acceptable in a politician. In 2003, all he has said is that he doesn't remember the interview.108
Robert EvansWhen a parent shows up with an attitude of entitlement, understand that under it is a boatload of anxiety.108
Simon RavenNobody minded what you did in bed or what you said about God, a very civilized attitude in 1948.108
Jane KaczmarekI was never a glamour puss whose career was really based on a look or an attitude. I've been basically playing the same parts I am at 55 that I was at 35. I get cast as strong women, and that can be a mother or a judge or anything.108
Albert EinsteinWeakness of attitude becomes weakness of character. 109
Billy GrahamIt is not the body's posture, but the heart's attitude that counts when we pray.109
William JamesSuccess or failure depends more upon attitude than upon capacity successful men act as though they have accomplished or are enjoying something. Soon it becomes a reality. Act, look, feel successful, conduct yourself accordingly, and you will be amazed at the positive results.109
Adam SavageIt's sort of a mental attitude about critical thinking and curiosity. It's about mindset of looking at the world in a playful and curious and creative way.109
Don RicklesYou know what's funny to me? Attitude.109
Earl NightingaleAlways keep that happy attitude. Pretend that you are holding a beautiful fragrant bouquet.109
Evel KnievelI like to help kids, work with kids in detention homes. Don't tell a kid what's right and wrong. He knows what's right and wrong. Find out what his attitude and his aptitude are; try to help him where he wants to go.109
Jesse JacksonToday's students can put dope in their veins or hope in their brains. If they can conceive it and believe it, they can achieve it. They must know it is not their aptitude but their attitude that will determine their altitude.109
Naveen JainIn the business world today, failure is apparently not an option. We need to change this attitude toward failure - and celebrate the idea that only by falling on our collective business faces do we learn enough to succeed down the road.109
Pat RileyThere's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs, in his attitude, a motivation above and beyond winning.109
Damian LewisI've always had a 'Work hard, play hard' attitude to life - I still do - but sometimes you get involved in something that needs a calm, methodical approach.109
Doug FlutieFootball is my profession now. I'm getting married in August... It's a new experience for me as someone just getting out of college. I still have the same attitude about football I always had. I play hard. I enjoy practice. I'd rather be throwing in passing drills than sitting around and watching TV.109
Harrison BirtwistleMy attitude to writing is like when you do wallpapering, you remember where all the little bits are that don't meet. And then your friends say: It's terrific!109
Lina WertmullerSome feminists have this party-line attitude, and they can be very extremist. The most enlightened characters in my film are women.109
Madeleine M. KuninTo make flexibility work, it is not only necessary to change our attitude about who is a good worker and who is not, but we have to train managers at all levels to recognize the difference between the number of hours worked and the quality of work produced.109
Maeve BinchyHappiness is in our own hearts. I have no regrets of anything in the past. I'm totally cheerful and happy, and I think that a lot of your attitude is not in the circumstances you find yourself in, but in the circumstances you make for yourself.109
Nancy CartwrightI will not get very far with this attitude.109
Richard LaGraveneseHow do you survive living in a cell knowing you are innocent? Many of those exonerated whom I have met seem to have a more benign, grateful attitude toward life than those of us who walk free. Many find a religious or spiritual stronghold.109
Rick PitinoTackle the difficult things first in the morning; make changes in the way you network. Treat everyone with respect and dignity. This stops you from cynicism and negativity. End your day with that same attitude you started. Renew your contract with a day well completed.109
Todd RundgrenMusic is the way I understand how to communicate now, the way that I've learned how to communicate... but it will eventually have to go beyond that. You see, I've realised that music is not what keeps people involved - it's the attitude behind the music.109
Marianne FaithfullThere are so many myths out there about Marianne Faithfull, I had to, um, detach. But I can turn it on because Marianne Faithfull is really an attitude, you know.109
Dale MurphyTommie Aaron taught me how to have a good attitude, to be easy going and not get uptight.109
Tracie PetersonAuthors can get an attitude of us-against-them when it comes to publishers, but learning how authors and editors can work together taught me to look at my work in a different way and to make that work as solid as possible before it ever goes to the publisher.109
Maurice GreeneYou'd like more people to recognise what you do is special. But I take the attitude that the best thing I can do for my sport is to be the best at it. The best way people will come to recognise that track and field is a great sport is to see athletes excelling at it.109
Alan GarnerMy attitude is that if anybody of any age wants to read a book, let them, but I do think that no child would want to read 'Boneland.'109
James WelchThe townspeople outside the reservations had a very superior attitude toward Indians, which was kind of funny, because they weren't very wealthy; they were on the fringes of society themselves.109
Jennifer ArmintroutWhen Jennifer Lawrence says it's 'dumb' to go hungry to make other people happy, she's saying it with the carefree attitude of a woman who probably will never have to make that choice to conform.109
John VarvatosA black suit can be classic and timeless and certainly for most occasions. But remember, it's not so much the color of suit as it is about the fit, cut, style, and, of course, attitude you have when wearing it.109
Mario Van PeeblesIf I or any other black can deliver at the box office, I'll get a lot of work. Too many young actors, regardless of their color, try to play an attitude on camera and fail to remember their job is to fit into an entertainment.109
Joseph KosinskiListen, whatever makes the movie better. That's the attitude you have to have.109
Elie WieselWhen a person doesn't have gratitude, something is missing in his or her humanity. A person can almost be defined by his or her attitude toward gratitude.110
Denis WaitleyThe winner's edge is not in a gifted birth, a high IQ, or in talent. The winner's edge is all in the attitude, not aptitude. Attitude is the criterion for success.110
Kourtney KardashianI know that, for me, I need to try to cover myself while breastfeeding so that no one snaps a picture. If this wasn't the case, I probably wouldn't mind as much because my son is my biggest concern. My attitude is, if someone sees a little somethin' somethin', don't look if you don't like it.110
Lawrence EagleburgerWe must advertise to U.S. business that we are there, that our attitude has changed, and that we care. When we are asked to help, we have to perform and provide the right advice.110
Rick RiordanEvery child's taste is different. Don't worry if they're not reading 'War and Peace' at age 12. First, build a good foundation and a positive attitude about reading by letting them pick the stories they enjoy. Make friends with a bookseller or librarian. They are a wealth of information on finding books that kids enjoy.110
Ted NugentI am Classic Rock Revisited. I revisit it every waking moment of my life because it has the spirit and the attitude and the fire and the middle finger. I am Rosa Parks with a Gibson guitar.110
William Lyon Mackenzie KingRegardless of what one's attitude towards prohibition may be, temperance is something against which, at a time of war, no reasonable protest can be made.110
William Makepeace ThackerayGood humor is one of the best articles of dress one can wear in society.110
Harry KrotoThe laissez-faire attitude to science education has resulted in a disaster exemplified by the fact that more young people are opting for media studies than physics.110
Leonard BaskinI think it has other roots, has to do, in part, with a general anxiety in contemporary life... nuclear bombs, inequality of possibility and chance, inequality of goods allotted to us, a kind of general racist, unjust attitude that is pervasive.110
Patrick SwayzeHow do you nurture a positive attitude when all the statistics say you're a dead man? You go to work.110
Srikumar RaoIf you have an ongoing relationship with a person, think of everything positive about that person that you possibly can and enter your interaction from that space. Ignore all the crap that used to drive you up the wall before. You will be amazed at what a change this attitude shift brings about.110
Ben HarneyWe are living in a culture where we are so led by the visual, and what is promoted in the media, that the attitude becomes, 'I don't have to go through normalcy in life - I can look for exemptions. And I expect them, and when I look for them and they are not there, I am angry.'110
Glenn DanzigI was bringing my attitude as a regular person 'cause this is my attitude.110
Mike JudgeI don't return anybody's calls unless it's going to mean extra money for me. And I've completely cut off all relationships with any friends that I had before the show. And I've copped an attitude.110
Pat MoritaI still have a young attitude.110
Peter SaulI like it best when two ideas collide, like when you have a crazed attitude towards women combined with a crazed attitude towards the Vietnamese. I like that. Even if it's not true, I don't care whether it's true or false. I just do it.110
Todd TiahrtI am shocked by the easy attitude of many in the media towards disclosing our Nation's secrets.110
Marvin HarrisHere you do have forests, where pigs could be raised by letting them root about in the forests for a good part of the year. Therefore, you have a different attitude toward them compared with what continues to exist in the Middle East.110
Mick TaylorThe Stones are a different kind of group. I realized that when I joined them. It's not really so much their musical ability, it's just they have a certain kind of style and attitude which is unique.110
Tobey MaguireI just try to try to keep an attitude that I don't know what I'm doing. Not to the point where I'm beating myself up, but I just go in thinking that I have a lot to learn. And I hope I still have that attitude 30 years from now.110
Dean CainMy agent says that I'm a 'repeat business guy.' If you hire me to come do a movie, I'll be on time, know all my material, be ready to go, have a good attitude. I'm here to work, so I get hired over and over again by the same producers. If you just be a team player on set you can work so much more often.110
John GriersonMy personal view is that such total planning by the state is an absolute good and not simply a relative good... I do not myself think of the attitude I take as deriving from Marx - though this undoubtedly will be suggested - but from Fichte and Hegel.110
Jack ZipesIt was only after the Grimms published two editions primarily for adults that they changed their attitude and decided to produce a shorter edition for middle-class families. This led to Wilhelm's editing and censoring many of the tales.110
Karl PopperNo rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.111
Michael JordanMy attitude is that if you push me towards something that you think is a weakness, then I will turn that perceived weakness into a strength.111
Viktor E. FranklThe last of human freedoms - the ability to chose one's attitude in a given set of circumstances.111
Aung San Suu KyiMy attitude to peace is rather based on the Burmese definition of peace - it really means removing all the negative factors that destroy peace in this world. So peace does not mean just putting an end to violence or to war, but to all other factors that threaten peace, such as discrimination, such as inequality, poverty.111
Charles R. SwindollThe remarkable thing is, we have a choice everyday regarding the attitude we will embrace for that day.111
Elbert HubbardWe awaken in others the same attitude of mind we hold toward them.111
Joyce MeyerI'm only going to stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else's life. If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there's no point in me blaming you for what's wrong in my life.111
Meister EckhartWhen you are thwarted, it is your own attitude that is out of order.111
Chevy ChaseI was always the guy getting kicked out of my classes at school for having an attitude problem.111
Clarence ThomasMy grandfather was a man, when he talked about freedom, his attitude was really interesting. His view was that you had obligations or you had responsibilities, and when you fulfilled those obligations or responsibilities, that then gave you the liberty to do other things.111
Etta JamesEven as a little child, I've always had that comedian kind of attitude.111
George MacDonaldAttitudes are more important than facts.111
Greg GiraldoThe reality is I'm not this person with this driving 'get it done' attitude.111
Octavio PazThe idea of modernity is beginning to lose its vitality. It is losing it because modernity is no longer a critical attitude but an accepted, codified convention.111
Simon CowellMy attitude is, if someone's going to criticize me, tell me to my face.111
Alain ProstIt's not too good to have this attitude in F1. It could be a disadvantage.111
Catherine Zeta-JonesI grew up in a small, strictly-Catholic fishing village on the coast of Wales. The people there have a different attitude to life than those in Hollywood - people stick together more.111
Joseph BrodskyFor a writer only one form of patriotism exists: his attitude toward language.111
Luke ScottObama does not represent America. Nor does he represent anything what our forefathers stood for. This country is basically built on an attitude. It's a way of life. It's not because you're born here. It's not that you're supposed to take from those who have and give to those who haven't. That kills a country. It killed Russia.111
Morris Raphael CohenLiberalism is an attitude rather than a set of dogmas - an attitude that insists upon questioning all plausible and self-evident propositions, seeking not to reject them but to find out what evidence there is to support them rather than their possible alternatives.111
Neal AsherGemmell's name guarantees a satisfying story and a thumping good read. I recommend all his heroic creations - 'Druss the axeman,' 'the Jerusalem man,' among others - but my favourite has to be 'Waylander': Clint Eastwood with a crossbow and the same 'Make my day, punk' attitude.111
David SanbornIn regard to music, I just think that it's always best to have an attitude of being a perpetual student and always look to learn something new about music, because there's always something new to learn.111
Robert McChesneyBut having said that, there's also a sea change in attitude towards media.111
Amanda BurtonWhat a stupid attitude we have in this country to personal stories.111
Anthony EdwardsThere are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you've missed a few steps.111
James CromwellThe attitude we have towards our personal pets as opposed to the animals that suffer under the factory farm is hypocritical and delusional.111
Molly HolzschlagThe Web is not a prize to be won, and Mr. Ballmer's attitude is deplorable in the light of what the Web means to the world, to users, to designers and developers, and - to put it into Microsoft parlance - customers.111
Jon FishmanBut I do think that we approach music, in of itself, with a religious attitude.111
Elbert HubbardCharacter is the result of two things: mental attitude and the way we spend our time.112
Joe BidenOur future cannot depend on the government alone. The ultimate solutions lie in the attitudes and the actions of the American people.112
Og MandinoTake the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.112
Edwin Louis ColeAttitude determines the altitude of life.112
Lewis GrizzardYou call to a dog and a dog will break its neck to get to you. Dogs just want to please. Call to a cat and its attitude is, 'What's in it for me?'112
S. Truett CathyI had to create some good work habits and attitude.112
Tabatha CoffeyWe have all met people that act 'old' or think a number makes them old, and I truly don't believe that is the case. If you have a good attitude toward aging, and you do what you can to live healthy and take care of yourself, I don't think the number matters.112
Abhishek BachchanI'm not a model; hence I don't see the reason to have a six-pack abs. I can pull off a tough and rugged look of a cop in 'Dhoom' series without taking my shirt off. Cops don't have to move around without a shirt to flaunt their machismo. What makes the character of a cop stand out is his attitude and not his six-pack abs.112
Harrison BirtwistleI'm not a music lover in the sense that I look for something to have on. I've never had that attitude to music.112
Carol VordermanIt really was hand-to-mouth and you can say, 'Poor little me, how dreadful, what a deprived childhood', but I didn't feel that way at all. It's all about the attitude at home.112
Charley PrideThe time I spent thinking about how I was better than somebody else or worrying about somebody else's attitude was time I could put to better use.112
Phillip NoyceAfter working for years in Hollywood where the actors have taken over, it was a real relief to get down there and not only have some children, but also have some actors that had no attitude.112
Rickie FowlerIt's great to be somewhat of a role model. I want to be a positive and good role model and lead by example and try to do the best I can. Playing good golf definitely draws attention, but I want to have a good attitude on the course and do the right things.112
Timothy Garton AshCanadians tend to be a bit more religious than most Europeans - though not more than the Poles or Ukrainians. Most important, their attitude to immigration and ethnic minorities is more positive than that of most Europeans.112
Rosie Huntington-WhiteleyI have the same attitude with work - I like to go to work, I like to work really hard I, like to give everything my all, I like to try things that are new, you know.112
Jeff RossI'm a big fan of Courtney Love. I love Hole and I love her acting and I love her attitude. I just hope I never meet her in a dark alley.112
John McGahernWhen I was in my 20s it did occur to me that there was something perverted about an attitude that thought that killing somebody was a minor offence compared to kissing somebody.112
Khalil GibranYour living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life; not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.113
John C. MaxwellYour attitude towards failure determines your altitude after failure.113
W. Clement StoneThere is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.113
Josh McDowellPrayer is talking with God. God knows your heart and is not so concerned with your words as He is with the attitude of your heart.113
Karan JoharI am always acting, be at a party, at work or in office. My attitude changes from meeting to meeting, from being serious to intense to funny, depending on who is in the room.113
Kathryn StockettAs I wrote, I found that Aibileen had some things to say that really weren't in her character. She was older, soft-spoken, and she started showing some attitude.113
Teri GarrIf you get a diagnosis, get on a therapy, keep a good attitude and keep your sense of humor.113
Martin McDonaghThough it may not seem like it, I never try to write about a place, per se; it's always, first and last, about story. Story is everything. Story and a bit of attitude.113
Ritchie BlackmoreI was impressed by Hendrix. Not so much by his playing, as his attitude - he wasn't a great player, but everything else about him was brilliant.113
Benny GreenAny time I need to get a serious attitude adjustment, I put on one of their records, and there are examples there for all time to keep us honest and keep us reaching; they'll never be eclipsed.113
Malcolm MclarenI always said punk was an attitude. It was never about having a Mohican haircut or wearing a ripped T-shirt. It was all about destruction, and the creative potential within that.113
Milos RaonicMasculinity comes from your look, all the way down to your attitude. It's a big part of being a tennis player. Even though tennis is a fairly friendly sport, intimidation is still a big part of it.113
Molly AntopolThe idea that we should write towards the unknown aspects of our experience was totally groundbreaking for me. It gave me the license I needed to try to write outside myself. This attitude has deeply informed my approach to fiction, emboldening me to write characters with voices or situations that are vastly different from my own.113
Ahmet DavutogluTurkey wants a policy of engagement exactly like President Obama's new approach. Policy of engagement, less confrontation, less tense attitude, especially in the region.113
John HowardI have had the view that cutting wages is not the path to prosperity, and one of the great myths propagated about my attitude to industrial relations is that I believe in lower wages. I've never believed in lower wages. Never. Never believed in lower wages, I've never believed in lower wages as an economic instrument.113
W. Clement StoneSales are contingent upon the attitude of the salesman - not the attitude of the prospect. 114
Gary NumanI've always considered myself to be fiercely patriotic. I love Britain - its history and the down-to-earth attitude people have.114
Guillermo del ToroI like actors that are good with pantomime and that can transmit a lot by their presence and attitude more than through their dialogue.114
Michael HutchenceI look at Jagger and the like and if I see a good attitude I'll admire it but I wouldn't copy their style.114
Pauline Neville-JonesWhen I first left university, I thought about going into the private sector. But I discovered when I went to interview that I could only have a career in the back office, or doing HR. The attitude was, 'My dear lady, you cannot possibly think about going on the board.'114
Quentin BryceLivelihoods and whole communities throughout the Murray-Darling Basin have been imperilled by the workings of drought, fire, flood, acid mud and human action over many decades. In the rescues and the cleanups and the long hauls, I see the same attitude over and again. People just rally and get on with it.114
Renzo PianoIn some way, people believe that if you are permeable, if you are a good listener, you don't have the quality of somebody with a firm attitude. This is what, fundamentally, I got from my mother.114
Theodor HerzlIt goes without saying that the Jewish people can have no other goal than Palestine and that, whatever the fate of the proposition may be, our attitude toward the land of our fathers is and shall remain unchangeable.114
Gary LockeThe U.S. tries to provide immigrants who grow up here with a world-class education and imbue them with the can-do attitude that has long defined American innovation.114
Samuel R. DelanyI want to read about a character doing something fairly quiet where I can picture who the character is, and what their attitude towards the world is - which I'm a lot more interested in than what they do under the pressure of a gunfight.114
Jill SteinWe need an attitude of defiance, not an attitude of cowardice. Out in the street, that's how we are winning against the TransCanada Pipeline. This is how we have delayed the Trans-Pacific Partnership and forced it into an election season, gotten everybody to stand against it. Democracy is not about surrender.114
Sally HawkinsMy parents have a strong work ethic, but their attitude to life, their philosophy, is: 'whatever makes you happy.'114
Tavi GevinsonI think it was my mom's attitude about art and being part of the narcissistic digital generation or whatever that made me think anyone would care what I had to say about anything!114
Richard Dean AndersonNothing. We're all friends and friendly. So when the cameras go down, depending on the mood or the nature of the material we're dealing with, there's usually a kind of a prevailing light attitude that's floating around.114
Summer AlticePeople think, 'She's a model. She must have such an attitude. She must be so stuck up.' But I'm normal. I cry. I'm not rich. I drive a 1987 Chevrolet Celebrity.114
Joel OsteenI wouldn't ever say if you're having tough times then there must be something wrong with you or your attitude. Life's a fight. It's a good fight of faith. I encourage people to stay up, stay hopeful, stay faith-filled.115
Bethany HamiltonWhatever your situation might be, set your mind to whatever you want to do and put a good attitude in it, and I believe that you can succeed. You are not going to get anywhere just sitting on your butt and moping around.115
Flip WilsonFunny is an attitude.115
Imelda StauntonHaving a child makes you strong and gives you chutzpah. It relaxed my attitude to the job; my center of focus shifted, which I think is very helpful, because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy.115
Marina AbramovicFrom the very early stage when I started doing performance art in the '70s, the general attitude - not just me, but also my colleagues - was that there should not be any documentation, that the performance itself is artwork and there should be no documentation.115
Neil PeartTo get nostalgic about other people's music, or even about your own, makes a terrible statement about the condition of your life and your prospects for the future. I have no patience with that kind of attitude, whether it's on radio or among friends.115
Paul HawkenIt is possible for the assembly-line worker consigned to tightening the bolts on the transmission and the office worker who processes medical insurance claims to work with pride and efficiency, but it's not easy to maintain that attitude.115
Youssou N'DourIn the West, you have always associated the Islamic faith 100 percent with Arab culture. This in itself is a fundamentalist attitude and it is mistaken.115
Diane LaneI think fun is an important part of the entertainment industry, and it should be. Anybody who's not incorporating some of that into their work needs to take a break, go away, and have an attitude adjustment.115
George HamiltonWhile I put forth the suntan and the teeth and the cavalier attitude, I've survived under the worst of eras and times, and I've always had a good time doing it, because I never really took myself seriously, nor did I take life seriously because it is already terribly serious.115
Richard HaynePsychographics speaks more to an attitude, a lifestyle.115
Wladimir KlitschkoAll the champions - you go and ask Mike Tyson or Joe Louis, Rocky Marciano, Lennox Lewis and myself included, and I'm sorry for putting myself in line with all the other great names - but the champion's attitude is it doesn't matter who is in front of me, I am going to conquer this person and win the fight and knock the person out.115
Andrew BogutThe American attitude is 'We're the best'. That's why the NBA guys who come from other countries, the Europeans, all sort of stick together away from the game.115
Lita FordI need that aggressive attitude to play my music and more men have that attitude than women.115
Marya MannesIn aid, the proper attitude is one omitting gratitude.115
Miranda RichardsonYou can have a laugh in Los Angeles, or you can weep in Los Angeles, depending on your attitude towards it.115
Joe GreeneDonald Evans is a favorite person of mine. His worth ethic, his attitude and his dedication really set him apart.115
Ludwig WittgensteinNot every religion has to have St. Augustine's attitude to sex. Why even in our culture marriages are celebrated in a church, everyone present knows what is going to happen that night, but that doesn't prevent it being a religious ceremony.116
Imelda MarcosI love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.116
W. Edwards DemingThe prevailing - and foolish - attitude is that a good manager can be a good manager anywhere, with no special knowledge of the production process he's managing. A man with a financial background may know nothing about manufacturing shoes or cars, but he's put in charge anyway.116
Alan ShepardThe pilot looked at his cues of attitude and speed and orientation and so on and responded as he would from the same cues in an airplane, but there was no way it flew the same. The simulators had showed us that.116
Jack WhiteI keep guitars that are, you know, the neck's a little bit bent and it's a little bit out of tune. I want to work and battle it and conquer it and make it express whatever attitude I have at that moment. I want it to be a struggle.116
Marcel DuchampDada was an extreme protest against the physical side of painting. It was a metaphysical attitude.116
Raf SimonsI couldn't go now to a brand that had a niche attitude like... gothic. I couldn't do that. Well, I could do it, but I wouldn't find it interesting, challenging.116
Rebel WilsonEven when I'm playing someone named 'Fat Amy.' I'm all about confidence and attitude.116
Richard FlanaganThere's always been something deeply disturbing about the Abbott government's attitude to women.116
Sara BlakelyI failed the LSAT. Basically, if I had not failed, I'd have been a lawyer and there would be no Spanx. I think failure is nothing more than life's way of nudging you that you are off course. My attitude to failure is not attached to outcome, but in not trying. It is liberating.116
Sonam KapoorI may not be the number one movie star, or my films might not be doing too good. I am grateful for what life has offered me. I have got a great family, parents are together, have a great sister, I get to holiday. All these things make me grateful towards life, for everything. I always say - have an attitude of gratitude.116
Todd PhillipsThere's a punk-rock attitude, clearly, to 'Hated.' There's even a punk-rock attitude to 'The Hangover,' I think. We start the movie with a Glenn Danzig song.116
Marian KeyesRegardless of the gender of the highest wage earner, the balance of power in the relationship will suffer if the higher earner uses control of the purse strings as a system of reward and punishment. It will also suffer if the lower earner takes a chippy, haughty attitude to spending money they haven't actually generated themselves.116
Robert HarrisSocial mores change all the time. In the mid-1970s, it would've been astonishing, say, to see two men holding hands in the streets. And the attitude to having a fling with a girl, or whatever, was quite different then.116
Martha ReevesLead singers not only do the majority of the work, but their personalities are singled out and taken as the general attitude of the unit.116
Joyce MeyerIndividuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.117
Eddie VedderI think music is the greatest art form that exists, and I think people listen to music for different reasons, and it serves different purposes. Some of it is background music, and some of it is things that might affect a person's day, if not their life, or change an attitude. The best songs are the ones that make you feel something.117
Magic JohnsonIf somebody says no to you, or if you get cut, Michael Jordan was cut his first year, but he came back and he was the best ever. That is what you have to have. The attitude that I'm going to show everybody, I'm going to work hard to get better and better.117
Mark WahlbergAnd I tell you, having girls has made me a much better man. I have friends who are fathers, but they only have boys, and they have the same attitude toward women they always had, you know? And I don't play that... My girls, you mess with them? I will bury you underground.117
Jackie Joyner-KerseeMy denial and irresponsible attitude about asthma put me at great risk and caused me so much needless suffering. My hope is that the kids I talk to learn to open up about their asthma, become educated about their condition, and seek help.117
Michael MossIt's not just a matter of poor willpower on the part of the consumer and a give-the-people-what-they-want attitude on the part of the food manufacturers. What I found, over four years of research and reporting, was a conscious effort... to get people hooked on foods that are convenient and inexpensive.117
David SternYou walk into the playgrounds in Shanghai and Beijing, and you see youngsters who are shorter, shaking and baking and having attitude. And Jeremy Lin is going to inspire all of them.117
Adolfo Aguilar ZinserServants are not allowed to ask questions. They are only supposed to follow orders. That attitude has to change. But in order for it to change, there has to be radical improvement in the quality of the intelligence produced by the Mexican government.117
James WoodsMy attitude about Hollywood is that I wouldn't walk across the street to pull one of those executives out of the snow if he was bleeding to death. Not unless I was paid for it. None of them ever did me any favors.117
Billy IdolPart of the punk attitude was that you should project your music through your whole body... show your personality as much as possible.118
Don RicklesYou can't study comedy; it's within you. It's a personality. My humor is an attitude.118
Wadah KhanfarThere is a very deep conviction in the heart of the people who work in al-Jazeera that if it changes its editorial line, it will very quickly lose its audience. Al-Jazeera has its own style; it has more than 3,500 employees, and I don't think anyone will have the attitude of changing it because they will lose.118
Angela AhrendtsJust because you're a luxury brand doesn't mean you have to have an attitude.118
Ben ElliotMy father instilled in me an attitude that you couldn't really enjoy yourself unless you had done something to deserve it. So, my childhood was spent working on farms or local shops or, when I got older, in banks.118
Carroll QuigleyThe traditional Christian attitude toward human personality was that human nature was essentially good and that it was formed and modified by social pressures and training.118
Donald JuddThe attitude and capacity of the factory, the old metal table and the new ideas of the wooden furniture quickly and naturally suggested the possibility of metal furniture.118
Pawel PawlikowskiOne of my favorite writers is Chekhov. I love his attitude toward the world. Just accept things for what they are. Don't judge. Be moral as you tell your story, but have no moral at the end. Just look at it.118
PsyBefore 'Gangnam Style' I was not a good attitude artist.118
Tom LehmanI think the attitude I was trying to learn myself was to really try hard, to give a great effort, to really care, and to let the results go where they are going to go. But at the same time, I don't have to be happy, and I shouldn't be happy, with less than my best.118
Mark SpitzBy making a comeback, I'm changing the attitude of people toward me. If I'd known that people would react so enthusiastically, I'd have done it years ago.118
Ai WeiweiChina and the U.S. are two societies with very different attitudes towards opinion and criticism. In China, I am constantly under surveillance. Even my slightest, most innocuous move can - and often is - censored by Chinese authorities.119
Karl JaspersIf philosophy is practice, a demand to know the manner in which its history is to be studied is entailed: a theoretical attitude toward it becomes real only in the living appropriation of its contents from the texts.119
Shaun WhiteSurfers have the most attitude.119
Tom BradyA lot of times I find that people who are blessed with the most talent don't ever develop that attitude, and the ones who aren't blessed in that way are the most competitive and have the biggest heart.119
August WilsonJazz in itself is not struggling. That is, the music itself is not struggling... It's the attitude that's in trouble. My plays insist that we should not forget or toss away our history.119
Edie CampbellMaybe the Burberry woman is undefinable! I think it's less about what she looks like and more about an attitude.119
Jack DeeI'm just part of a tradition of people who aren't pleased. I would never think anyone else who has the same attitude was getting it from me. I'd just think they're... sensible.119
Jimmy ChinThe way we approached Meru, and the way we approach a lot of these mountains, is with humility. A sense of, 'Is it going to give us passage?' Your mental attitude can affect the outcome.119
Philip TreacyThere is no attitude required. The hat brings the attitude. And when people try on a hat they like, it is a bit of fun. It makes them laugh. You don't laugh when you put on a pair of shoes, but you do with a hat.119
Chris JordanI wasn't interested in politics. My attitude about it was, I can't make a difference no matter what I do. And the truth is, I don't even care enough to try.119
Julie BurchillMy second husband believed I had such a fickle attitude to friendship that each Friday he would update the list of my 'Top Ten' friends in the manner of a Top Of The Pops chart countdown.119
Karen TravissG.I. Joe has a heart and an attitude that feels right and familiar to me, so they could have ray guns, and they'd still feel more like real troops than many other franchises.119
Ricki-Lee CoulterOne day I looked in the mirror, and I wasn't happy. If you're not feeling good mentally, emotionally and physically, you're just a mess - and that's the point I felt like. It was a change in attitude and a shift in lifestyle. There's no crazy diet; I train six days a week, and I eat really well.119
Shilpa ShettyI was always spiritual, even as a child. I was taught to pray, show gratitude. We had an attitude of gratitude. Even if life was ugly, bad or sad - we prayed.119
Malcolm MclarenSid Vicious began the age of participation in which everyone could be the artist. Sid proved that you don't have to play well to be the star. You can play badly, or not even at all. I endorsed that attitude. If you can't write songs, no problem - simply steal one and change it to your taste.119
Dean CainHollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.119
Johan HuizingaAn aristocratic culture does not advertise its emotions. In its forms of expression it is sober and reserved. Its general attitude is stoic.119
Colin PowellI think whether you're having setbacks or not, the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.120
Stephen CoveyBetween stimulus and response, there is a space where we choose our response.120
Jean PiagetI have always detested any departure from reality, an attitude which I relate to my mother's poor mental health.120
W. Clement StoneLike success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.120
Mark CubanCulture is very important to the Mavs. Your best player has to be a fit for what you want the culture of the team to be. He has to be someone who leads by example. Someone who sets the tone in the locker room and on the court. It isn't about who talks the most or the loudest. It is about the demeanor and attitude he brings.120
Andrew ForrestWe do need an attitude of leadership in our government which demonstrates faith in major population centres outside of Perth.120
Charles JencksLike our attitude to love, truth and goodness, we seem to be confident about knowing what beauty is - certain, even dogmatic - until we think hard about the idea, whereupon all confidence flies away.120
Donny OsmondMy father instilled in me the attitude of prevailing. If there's a challenge, go for it. If there's a wall to break down, break it down.120
Jason MrazI think it's important and I think it's true that our life experience is going to be about our attitude, our thoughts, our beliefs, our speech and our actions. We can transform our life experience simply by changing our language.120
Jason DayAnything can happen, so you have to control your attitude and stay strong.120
Shane WarneWith just about every player in Australia, his whole goal and ambition is to play for Australia. That's why they're playing first class cricket. It's just a different attitude.120
Sonakshi SinhaThere are actually no political aspirations. I think you need to have the right attitude and aptitude for it. I don't think I have the right aptitude for it. I think it is unfair to push somebody in that direction just because my father happens to be a politician.120
Jennifer ArmintroutThe attitude of, 'I will never self-publish,' coming from any author, indicates that they have never been in a position where it is their only option.120
Alan WattsBut the attitude of faith is to let go, and become open to truth, whatever it might turn out to be.121
William JamesIt is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which, more than anything else, will affect its successful outcome.121
Christian LouboutinThe higher the better. It's more about an attitude. High heels empower women in a way.121
Ellen G. WhiteA minister of Jesus Christ should not be regardless of his attitude. If he is the representative of Jesus Christ, his deportment, his attitude, his gestures, should be of that character which will not strike the beholder with disgust.121
Henry Louis GatesWe can revolutionize the attitude of inner city brown and black kids to learning. We need a civil rights movement within the African-American community.121
Ian McewanWhat reader wants to be told what attitude to strike?121
Loretta LynnMy attitude toward men who mess around is simple: If you find 'em, kill 'em.121
Melania TrumpDonald has a deep and unbounding determination and a never-give-up attitude. I have seen him fight for years to get a project done - or even started - and he does not give up! If you want someone to fight for you and your country, I can assure you, he is the 'guy.'121
Octavia ButlerEvery story I write adds to me a little, changes me a little, forces me to reexamine an attitude or belief, causes me to research and learn, helps me to understand people and grow.121
Thom MayneSo at a time in which the media give the public everything it wants and desires, maybe art should adopt a much more aggressive attitude towards the public. I myself am very much inclined to take this position.121
Alan PerlisYou can measure a programmer's perspective by noting his attitude on the continuing vitality of FORTRAN.121
Andy BehrmanAs no one knew much about my mental illness, a lot of people had the attitude that I had the capability to 'kick it' and get better instantly. This was the most frustrating attitude for me.121
Iyanla VanzantSome of us pray demands. Some of us pray complaints. Some of us pray knowing, and some of us pray not knowing. But prayer is the attitude that you hold in your heart.122
Earl NightingaleOur environment, the world in which we live and work, is a mirror of our attitudes and expectations.122
Kid RockThat's what I love from metal, and that's what I love from hip-hop. That's what I love from any music that's hard, that's got an edge to it-The attitude in it.122
Neil DiamondI came back to performing with a different attitude about performing and myself. I wasn't expecting perfection any more, just hoping for an occasional inspiration.122
Christie BrinkleyI think that ultimately your age is determined by your attitude. It's not the number; it's not how many wrinkles you have on your face. It's the energy that you project.122
Patricia RichardsonPart of the whole L.A. mentality that nothing really matters unless it's a success... is such a shallow and dangerous attitude to have.122
Warwick DavisMy dad instilled in me a great sense of humor. I wasn't bullied at school because my outward attitude was confident, and that helps.122
Alex CampbellEven with, or perhaps, because of, this background, I have over the past few years sensed a very dramatic change in attitude on the part of Prince Edward Islanders towards the on-going rush for so-called modernization.122
Buzz OsborneIf you take a band like Nirvana, their biggest hits are structurally the same as even a hair metal band's biggest hits. The structure's not different - the attitude was different. Except it really wasn't. It seemed a little more human.122
Maria BartiromoToo many people say to their brokers, I can't deal with this. Take my money. Do what you want. That's the worst attitude you can have.122
Vladimir PutinI have a very positive attitude to anyone who is protecting the environment, but it's inadmissible when people are using it as a means of promoting themselves, using it as a source of self-enrichment. I don't want to name any specific examples... but often, environmentalism is used to blackmail companies.123
Andy CohenI fell in love with Erica Kane the summer before my freshman year of high school. Like all red-blooded teen American boys, I'd come home from water polo practice and eat a box of Entenmann's Pop'Ems donut holes in front of the TV while obsessively fawning over 'All My Children' and Erica, her clothes, and her narcissistic attitude.123
Harvey MackayA smart manager will establish a culture of gratitude. Expand the appreciative attitude to suppliers, vendors, delivery people, and of course, customers.123
Tom WolfeI can remember that on the shelves at home, there were these books by Thomas Wolfe. 'Look Homeward Angel' and 'Of Time and the River.' 'Of Time and the River' had just come out when I was aware of his name. My parents had a hard time convincing me that he was no kin whatsoever. My attitude was, 'Well, what's he doing on the shelf, then?'123
Dan MarinoAs a team, you need to come from behind every once in awhile just to do it. Good for the attitude. It makes it exciting. And when everybody knows you have to throw it... that makes it fun too.123
Jose SaramagoThe attitude of insolent haughtiness is characteristic of the relationships Americans form with what is alien to them, with others.123
Katherine SchwarzeneggerIt's easy to be critical of ourselves and other women around us. We stand in front of the mirror and only focus on the things we hate about our body and our appearance. But I encourage you to change that attitude the next time you are in front of the mirror.123
Michel HouellebecqYou can't be a crazy rebel in the face of death, it's not a fitting attitude.123
Nadine VelazquezI have a real taste for doing action roles. I starred in a movie called 'Blast,' which was my first action film, and I loved the fighting - I think I've got the build, the attitude and the look for it.123
Sam HuntI drove right into the music with the same sort of attitude as I went into the football stuff with. Just found a routine and hard work, and it helped me progress a lot faster.123
Jerry Della FeminaAs long as the attitude is to only show the sheet metal, then automobile advertising will continue to be wretched.123
Major OwensThe problem was just a mean attitude that festers and has to be challenged.123
Ryan StilesI did standup for a lot of years, too, but when you come out as a standup, you get the feeling from a crowd - it's a kind of a 'make me laugh' attitude. But when you come out as an improvisor, they realize that they're suggesting everything you do. So they're already invested in the scene, and they actually want it to work.123
Martina HingisI always give Lindsay so much credit for her tennis game, for her attitude, for her person, and because of how she deals with all the things. I don't think people give her enough credit for how well she's doing.123
Julie KlausnerI'm always excited when I make it on anyone's list - even if it's for affirmative action. My attitude is, 'Am I the token woman on this list? Because I'll take it.'123
John McLaughlinI don't want just attitude and loud opinion.123
Adriana LimaYou don't have to have an attitude if you're famous.124
Ariel SharonI cannot say that the attitude of the United Nations always is for the Israeli attitude. Israel, I think, has been under severe attacks by members of the United Nations many times.124
Kiefer SutherlandThere are a lot of movies I'd like to throw away. That's not to say that I went in with that attitude. Any film I ever started, I went in with all the hope and best intentions in the world, but some films just don't work.124
Salman KhanPeople are patronizing the theatres with renewed enthusiasm - there is an entire picnic-like attitude when families go out to see movies, which is a very good sign. They want to see larger-than-life characters on the big screen and not just watch movies on television or on DVDs.124
Theophilus LondonI can pull off anything; I have the height and the attitude. The only thing I can't wear is a leotard, but I can wear anything else.124
Kirstie AlleyI developed a nutty attitude where I'd think, If some guy really loves me he doesn't care if I'm fat. I'd come up with all these stupid reasons why it would be OK to be fat.124
Liz GoldwynLos Angeles is a true postmodern city. Here, we celebrate with equal aplomb the high and the low. I am just as influenced by the punk rock attitude of local skate and surf cultures as I am by old-school glamour and stardust.124
Peter MandelsonI do not share the half-in, half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain's place is in Europe.124
Carson DalyI hope 'The Voice' has a fifteen-year run, don't get me wrong. But I come from nothing, and maybe it's the Irish in me, but my attitude is always like, 'They'll figure me out soon.'124
Treat WilliamsBambi can't act. Bambi had major attitude.124
Michael JordanI hope the millions of people I've touched have the optimism and desire to share their goals and hard work and persevere with a positive attitude.125
Stephen CoveyIf you want small changes in your life, work on your attitude. But if you want big and primary changes, work on your paradigm.125
Herbert ReadThe characteristic political attitude of today is not one of positive belief, but of despair.125
Leon PanettaToday, I think the attitude is that governing is not necessarily good politics, and the result is that it's much more partisan and much more divided.125
Paul RyanWhat matters to me is that I do what I think is right and I see, I'm a numbers guy, that's my attitude. I know we have a debt tsunami coming, we are bankrupting this country and I'm in a position where I can actually advance ideas to prevent that from happening. That's exactly what I should be doing.125
Pope Benedict XVIHaving a clear faith, based on the creed of the church is often labeled today as fundamentalism. Whereas relativism, which is letting oneself be tossed and swept along by every wind of teaching, look like the only attitude acceptable to today's standards.125
Richard PryorI was kicked out of school because of my attitude. I was not assimilating. So I went to work, taking any jobs I could get.125
Srikumar RaoWe have the ability to craft a life where we are completely fulfilled. We think it is dependent on outsiders, and to some extent it is, but it is much more dependent on the attitude we bring to life.125
Lita FordIt's better for me to play with guys because Rock 'n' Roll has such an aggressive attitude.125
Paulo CoelhoEverybody is a political person, whether you say something or you are silent. A political attitude is not whether you go to parliament; it's how you deal with your life, with your surroundings.126
Richard BransonMy general attitude to life is to enjoy every minute of every day. I never do anything with a feeling of, 'Oh God, I've got to do this today.'126
David ByrnePunk was defined by an attitude rather than a musical style.126
Milan KunderaThe novelist teaches the reader to comprehend the world as a question. There is wisdom and tolerance in that attitude. In a world built on sacrosanct certainties the novel is dead.126
Venus WilliamsSome people say that I have an attitude- Maybe I do. But I think that you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does- that makes you a winner right there.126
Jack DeeThe jokes are great but what really matters for a comedian is his performance, his whole attitude, and the laughs that he gets between the jokes rather than on top of the jokes.126
Laura CarmichaelThe Twenties have this sort of attitude where you never know what's around the corner.126
Steven AdlerI want to be in the big show, and to be in the big show, you have to practice. I have this attitude now that I'm going to take all the greatness I can. Nothing's going to stop me.126
William WordsworthWhat is pride? A rocket that emulates the stars.201
Bo BennettSpend some time this weekend on home improvement; improve your attitude toward your family.201
Walter GropiusTheo van Doesburg wanted to teach in the Bauhaus in 1922. I refused, however, to appoint him since I considered him to be too aggressive and too rigidly theoretical: he would have wrought havoc in the Bauhaus through his fanatic attitude, which ran counter to my own broader approach.201
Eric BraedenThe directors I respect are the ones who have a collaborative attitude, who collaborate with actors.201
Walter Dean MyersChildren have adopted a consumerist attitude - I dare you to entertain me.202
Roxane GayI think the world is ambivalent about feminism. So I can't blame college students. I think they're reflecting the greater culture's attitude toward feminism. So what I can do is, in ways that are appropriate, advocate for feminism and help the students learn what feminism is about.202
Dale CarnegieHappiness doesn't depend on any external conditions, it is governed by our mental attitude. 203
Norman Vincent PealeWhen you pray for anyone you tend to modify your personal attitude toward him.203
Richard P. FeynmanI thought one should have the attitude of 'What do you care what other people think!'203
Debi MazarMy mom had me at 16 and took me every place she went. I remember going on peace marches. She tried to take me to Woodstock - it was pouring rain. It was on my birthday, and I was crying so much in the car they turned the car around and dumped me at my grandmother's house... I had a little attitude.203
Grandmaster FlashWhat has happened is that to some degree they have taken an attitude where they don't listen to demos of diverse subject matters. They're looking for demos like the record the guy on the left just did.203
Leonard SusskindExtra dimensional theories are sometimes considered science fiction with equations. I think that's a wrong attitude. I think extra dimensions are with us, they are with us to stay, and they entered physics a long time ago. They are not going to go away.203
M.I.A.At first, I found the music I was making really hard to find a home for. I felt like my attitude was really British, but not the actual sounds I was making. Back in 2003, when I made 'Galang,' there were no clubs that had an 'anything and everything' attitude.203
Jenny SlateI like to wear dresses and skirts when I go onstage because the attitude that I have is, 'I'm so excited to introduce myself to you.' And I want to be wearing what I'd be wearing to a date or a dinner party.203
Marianne FaithfullFrance has been very good for me. It has given me a very worldly-cool attitude.203
Joel OsteenKeep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it's hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.204
Joyce MeyerWatch out for the joy-stealers: gossip, criticism, complaining, faultfinding, and a negative, judgmental attitude.204
Francois HollandeI perfectly understood President Obama's attitude throughout the French presidential campaign. He had no reason to distance himself from Nicolas Sarkozy. It's the basic solidarity that leaders who worked together owe to each other.204
Karl LagerfeldWhen I was a child I asked my mother what homosexuality was about and she said - and this was 100 years ago in Germany and she was very open-minded - 'It's like hair color. It's nothing. Some people are blond and some people have dark hair. It's not a subject.' This was a very healthy attitude.204
Octavio PazA society is defined as much by how it comes to terms with its past as by its attitude toward the future: its memories are no less revealing than its aims.204
Jason BatemanPeople have often asked if I'm gay because I don't go out of my way to spit and scratch and give people attitude.204
Kim DotcomI always thought of myself as more American than Americans when I was living in Germany, because I always had this attitude of can-do, and if you're successful, you can show it, which is a very un-German thing, you know.204
Mac DeMarcoI love Jonathan Richman - I love a lot of his music, and the thing I really like about him is his attitude. He seems very happy, and the way he performs is like, 'Don't worry, everybody, just get into it. I'm just having fun; I like when you guys are having fun.'204
Rufus SewellMy feelings about my mortality are less selfish than they used to be. I used to affect a cavalier attitude to death; now I see it from my son's perspective.204
Juliana HatfieldFrom the beginning, I've always had a knack for catchy melodies. But I went through a period when I was trying to be rock n' roll and have a rock n' roll attitude. I was fighting my nature by trying to play really hard and sing really hard. But at a certain point, I realized that I loved syrupy pop music with tons of harmony.204
Dalai LamaIt is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.205
Victoria OsteenI love David's attitude in the Bible. He wasn't afraid to go against the trends. He wasn't going to be defined by the opinions of others.205
Oprah WinfreyThe greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude.205
Charles LindberghI am shocked at the attitude of our American troops. They have no respect for death, the courage of an enemy soldier, or many of the ordinary decencies of life.205
Milan KunderaMankind's true moral test, its fundamental test (which lies deeply buried from view), consists of its attitude towards those who are at its mercy: animals. And in this respect mankind has suffered a fundamental debacle, a debacle so fundamental that all others stem from it.205
V. S. NaipaulWhat was past was past. I suppose that was the general attitude.205
Edward SapirThe attitude of independence toward a constructed language which all national speakers must adopt is really a great advantage, because it tends to make man see himself as the master of language instead of its obedient servant.205
Joel EdgertonIt's tricky. I've never been standing at the top of the tree with tons of money thrown at me. I've never really had a profile. So in a way I have this 'nothing to lose' attitude.205
Mario CuomoI guess a psychiatrist would say there's some good to the venting process, but it does also promote an attitude of saying, 'Hey there's nothing wrong with being filled with hate; there's so much of it around.' I don't like that.205
Siddhartha MukherjeeIn a spiritual sense, a positive attitude may help you get through chemotherapy and surgery and radiation and what have you. But a positive mental attitude does not cure cancer - any more than a negative mental attitude causes cancer.205
William JamesWhenever you're in conflict with someone, there is one factor that can make the difference between damaging your relationship and deepening it. That factor is attitude.206
Antoine de Saint-ExuperyThe meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.206
Henri BergsonIn just the same way the thousands of successive positions of a runner are contracted into one sole symbolic attitude, which our eye perceives, which art reproduces, and which becomes for everyone the image of a man who runs.206
Walter KirnThe fictionally correct have all the answers, and that's what's wrong with them. They're artistic technocrats. There's no dilemma so knotty, no question so baffling, that it can't be smoothly neutralized by dialing up the right attitude adjustment. Poor old Hemingway. If only he'd known.206
Zubin MehtaAn American orchestra doesn't want to play more than it has to. I respectfully disagree with that attitude.206
Arthur EricksonThere is a single thread of attitude, a single direction of flow, that joins our present time to its early burgeoning in Mediterranean civilization.206
Jack DeeThere were a few teachers who just did not like me because of my face. Once, I was told to stand in the corner until I cheered up. The attitude was, 'Oh, for God's sake, what's the matter with him?' But it's just a natural expression.206
Vera WangDesign is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer. So my being able to reach the masses was something that meant a great deal to me - especially for women who could never wear Vera Wang.207
Agatha ChristieCrime is terribly revealing. Try and vary your methods as you will, your tastes, your habits, your attitude of mind, and your soul is revealed by your actions.207
Billy CorganMost of my arguments with musicians through the years have had more to do with their attitude about music, or their attitude about their own lives, or their personal responsibility. Music has never really been the big centerpiece of the fight.207
Mary J. BligeI didn't know how to show my self love, and I didn't want anyone else to hurt me. So my tough girl attitude was like, 'I'm not having it.'207
Norm MacDonaldIt got very tedious saying the same jokes in the same way with the same attitude.207
Paul MooneyI think I have a mental nappy attitude.207
Rupert MurdochNo one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful, although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.207
Gal GadotFor me, it was important Wonder Woman wouldn't be a Goody Two-Shoes. She has a little bit of attitude, and when she fights, she has a smirk on her face. I didn't want her to be polished. I want people to relate to her.207
Victoria OsteenI think when you have an optimistic attitude, and you believe that God is guiding you, that you will find the good things in your life and that you will lead to good relationships and good people in your life. And you can make the most of what he's given you.208
Brendon UrieI've always been that person: If it gets into my head, I've got to do it until I get it perfect - a perfectionist's attitude.208
Herbie HancockIt's not the style that motivates me, as much as an attitude of openness that I have when I go into a project.208
Kimbal MuskI had this attitude, that Silicon Valley obnoxious attitude, that I know what I'm doing, and the rest was going to be pretty easy.208
Carmen ElectraI went to the Performing Arts School and studied classical ballet. That attitude is something that's put into your head. You are never thin enough.208
Anushka SharmaI do have moments when I feel insecure. I do have moments when I feel jealous, and that's normal. It's a very normal emotion. It's your action and your attitude and your reaction to that that is important.208
Joel OsteenAny of us can be happy and have a good attitude when everything is going our way. But I believe it's the real test of your character and of your faith to say, 'Things are not going our way, but I'm still being good to people; I'm still attending church; I still have a good attitude.'209
Fleur EastThe attitude among the people I knew was, 'Fleur wants to be a singer' but it was never, 'Go for it. You can do it.' Everyone was cynical because we'd never seen anyone where we came from do it.209
Harold PinterIraq is just a symbol of the attitude of western democracies to the rest of the world.209
Jawaharlal NehruThe purely agitational attitude is not good enough for a detailed consideration of a subject.209
Johnny VegasFrom a certain age, I sort of accepted myself for what I was. And although to other people it was like nothing ever goes right, I had a really nice attitude that I'd inherited from my parents, and especially from my dad.209
Clarence ThomasOh, I don't think Tom Sowell would tell anybody to join the administration. That's not his style. But I think his attitude has always been if it had to be done he'd prefer me to do it than somebody else.210
Derek BokI won't say there aren't any Harvard graduates who have never asserted a superior attitude. But they have done so to our great embarrassment and in no way represent the Harvard I know.210
Grace SlickThere is an attitude that we should be able to have everything. No, you shouldn't be able to have anything. I'd like a helicopter, but I can't afford a helicopter, so I don't buy one. People are buying stuff they can't afford on credit. I bought my Ford hybrid with cash.210
Robert CarlyleIn the late '70s, maybe just before I started, there was still an attitude that if you did film you didn't do TV and vice versa, but that's gone now.210
Mark BillinghamMy dad was a terrible father. Dreadful. But he had a very difficult childhood. He was fostered - he never knew who his father was. So he had a very different attitude to family and kids. I don't have any issues. I'm not suffering some secret angst.210
John C. MaxwellThe greatest day in your life and mine is when we take total responsibility for our attitudes. That's the day we truly grow up.211
Vera WangDesign is about point of view, and there should be some sort of woman or lifestyle or attitude in one's head as a designer.211
B. R. AmbedkarDemocracy is not merely a form of government. It is primarily a mode of associated living, of conjoint communicated experience. It is essentially an attitude of respect and reverence towards fellow men.211
George PackerWhat I found in Silicon Valley is an industry that's sort of been kept a very far remove from Washington and had an attitude of 'Just let us do our thing and make the miracles that people love around the world and leave us alone.'211
Cheech MarinTo me, you have to declare yourself a Chicano in order to be a Chicano. That makes a Chicano a Mexican-American with a defiant political attitude that centers on his or her right to self-definition. I'm a Chicano because I say I am.211
Helmut JahnThe American attitude towards efficiency and execution should always underlie architecture.211
Lev GrossmanBecoming an author changes your attitude too. Once you see where books come from, and how they're made, they never seem quite as sacred again.211
Rob ZombieBut I think bands that rolled in with a big attitude, like they were some big deal, I just found that very strange.211
Steve VaiAlong with its enchanting and exquisite melodies, West Side Story has attitude and a tremendous amount of frenetic energy. It's emotional, theatrical and technical. It's everything.211
Adam SchlesingerThe nature of the music business is such that it's better to have a few chances for some things to be successful than just one, and that's kind of been my attitude all along.211
Alan WattsAnd the attitude of faith is the very opposite of clinging to belief, of holding on.212
Robert KennedyIn truth, the world is now a seamless web from which no nation, large or small, young or old, can disassociate itself. Every attitude and every action of every nation can affect the welfare and security of every other nation around the globe.212
NasMan, me and Biggie were the biggest artists in New York. When he passed, I was so messed up. My attitude was messed up about him dying. There was an East-West thing back then, and I was in war mode.212
Dick GregoryYou know, I always say white is not a colour, white is an attitude, and if you haven't got trillions of dollars in the bank that you don't need, you can't be white.212
James E. FaustAll women have appealing features. I do not refer to model-type appeal, but rather that which comes from your personality, your attitude, and your expressions. I urge you to enhance the natural, God-given, feminine gifts with which you have been so richly blessed.212
Andrew WeilGardening is not trivial. If you believe that it is, closely examine why you feel that way. You may discover that this attitude has been forced upon you by mass media and the crass culture it creates and maintains. The fact is, gardening is just the opposite - it is, or should be, a central, basic expression of human life.212
Christie BrinkleyAfter the first miscarriage, I tried to take the attitude that it was my body's way of telling me that this pregnancy wasn't meant to be.212
George LoisWhen you think of a brand, you should immediately understand it from the advertising attitude, from the words and visuals.212
Glen DuncanCheney, Rumsfeld - they were Shakespearean in their attitude of impunity.212
Isla FisherI'm definitely attracted to other Australians; I have a laid-back attitude to life that I feel is very Australian; I love a good barbie.213
Rahm EmanuelMy attitude is govern as if you've run your last race. That's not to say I've run my last race, but govern with a liberation and a freedom; change your mind frame to operate that way.213
Gwen StefaniI don't mean this in a stuck-up way, but I needed an attitude song.213
Richard P. FeynmanI think that when we know that we actually do live in uncertainty, then we ought to admit it; it is of great value to realize that we do not know the answers to different questions. This attitude of mind - this attitude of uncertainty - is vital to the scientist, and it is this attitude of mind which the student must first acquire.214
Katrina KaifWhen you're walking at the airport, you're expected to smile at people because they know you... I find that tough. I'm only trying to protect myself. So I don't take my eyes off the floor. People can take that as attitude. But it's actually shyness. Yes, it is a bad habit. But it's a defense mechanism.214
Michael OwenIf you're a goal scorer, you have to have a certain attitude. I'm very serious. My missus thinks I'm a bit weird. I'm cold, I don't have many emotions. It's very rare I cry.214
Peter JacksonThere's a very go-to kind of attitude in New Zealand that stems from that psyche of being quite isolated and not being able to rely on the rest of the world's infrastructure.215
Heather BrookeI trained as a journalist in America where paying sources is frowned upon. Now I work in the U.K. where there is a more flexible attitude.216
James E. FaustWhat is worthy or unworthy on the Sabbath day will have to be judged by each of us by trying to be honest with the Lord. On the Sabbath day, we should do what we have to do and what we ought to do in an attitude of worshipfulness and then limit our other activities.216
Marlee MatlinIt was my father who instilled the 'never say no' attitude I carry around with me today, and who instilled in me a sense of wonder, always taking us on adventures in the car, never telling us the destination.216
Mariella FrostrupI have a very childish attitude to books - a very non-analytic enthusiasm... like Alice falling down the chute.216
Martin ReesGiven the scale of issues like global warming and epidemic disease, we shouldn't underestimate the importance of a can-do attitude to science rather than a can't-afford-it attitude.216
Christopher NolanI'm taking a bit of a wait-and-see attitude towards 3D.217
Leila JanahI think the philosophy that you have to have if you travel frequently is, stuff is just stuff. Even if it has some sentimental or family connection, if you lose it in the world, it's still just a thing, and I think if you don't have that attitude, you will get incredibly stressed out and not enjoy your travels.217
Stella McCartneyWhat you wear in the evening is important for women because it's so personal, and it's so complicated to get it right. I like trousers for evening, especially when they have that width and attitude to them.217
Dolly PartonI was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It's not true that I'm happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.218
Neneh CherryI'm quite a particular singer, and I need to feel like I can bite into the song, in a way, to make it my own. You want the challenge of the songs having some attitude.218
Shania TwainIt was just like a dream. I could have ended up with an album that's not all that different from anything else coming out of Nashville. Mutt made the difference. He took these songs, my attitude, my creativity, and colored them in a way that is unique.218
Wynton MarsalisI'm not a person who writes really abstract things with oblique references. I look at abstraction like I look at condiments. Give me some Tabasco sauce, some ketchup, some mayonnaise. I love all of that. Put it on a trumpet. I've just got to have the ketchup and Tabasco sauce. That's my attitude about musical philosophy.218
Christopher HitchensSolidarity is an attitude of resistance, I suppose, or it should be.219
Lady GagaVanity can create a very cruel space for you if you don't know how to manage it.219
David ByrneIt's a fundamental, social attitude that the 1% supports symphonies and operas and doesn't support Johnny learning to program hip-hop beats. When I put it like that, it sounds like, 'Well, yeah,' but you start to think, 'Why not, though?' What makes one more valuable than another?219
Kathleen HannaWomen didn't want to be on the stage with other women because they didn't want their bodies to be compared. They didn't want another female act opening for them because of this weird competitive and tokenistic attitude.219
TwiggyI don't like it when people say, 'You're 45, so you should be wearing X and never Y.' For me, dressing is about attitude, not age.219
Richard BransonMy attitude has always been, if you fall flat on your face, at least you're moving forward. All you have to do is get back up and try again.220
Steven SpielbergYou can't start a movie by having the attitude that the script is finished, because if you think the script is finished, your movie is finished before the first day of shooting.220
Heather GrahamA man can be 43, and people will say, 'Oh, he's a cool bachelor, and he just hasn't settled down,' but with a woman, it's, 'Oh, she must have really wanted to get married, but she didn't.' I honestly think that attitude is a little bit sexist.220
Scott TurowI trained as a writer before I became a lawyer. I was headed for a life as an English professor, but that just wasn't me. I'm not a scholar; I didn't have a scholar's attitude toward literature.220
Geddy LeeI have such an extreme attitude about work, where I can just completely be derelict of my responsibilities and then when I am not derelict, I am completely indulged in it. I swing pretty wildly from the two extremes.221
Jim HarrisonYou do manage a somewhat religious attitude toward your art. It is a calling rather than a job.221
Marcel DuchampI became a librarian at the Sainte-Genevieve Library in Paris. I made this gesture to rid myself of a certain milieu, a certain attitude, to have a clean conscience, but also to make a living. I was twenty-five. I had been told that one must make a living, and I believed it.221
Vladimir PutinIf you want my personal attitude, I would tell you that I don't care about a person's sexual orientation.222
Tom FriedenThanks to malaria elimination efforts in United States in the 1940s, most people in the U.S. today have never had any direct contact with the disease, and most doctors have never seen a case. That success means it's easy to have a relaxed attitude about protecting ourselves.222
Barbara EhrenreichIf you can attribute your success entirely to your own mental effort, to your own attitude, to some spiritual essence that you have that is better than other people's, then that must feel pretty good.223
Tom WolfeThe attitude is we live and let live. This is actually an amazing change in values in a rather short time and it's an example of freedom from religion.223
Dalai LamaToo much self-centered attitude, you see, brings, you see, isolation. Result: loneliness, fear, anger. The extreme self-centered attitude is the source of suffering.224
Eartha KittA lot can be said with just a look, or the way the body moves. Each song is a different character. So each song takes on a different movement of the body. And the body has to go with the subject and the attitude that you have toward that subject.224
Tzipi LivniThe attitude of 'every nation unto itself' is a destructive one for the future of Israel.224
Jack KempJust as the left has to be more willing to question 'Government knows best,' the right has to rethink its laissez-faire attitude toward government.224
Stefon DiggsEach day, I come in with a positive attitude, trying to get better.224
Malorie BlackmanThe worst thing about being the laureate has been the attitude of a tiny minority of adults who haven't liked some of the things I'm supposed to have said and who have used it as an opportunity to be verbally abusive and nasty, but I haven't let it rule my world!224
Pope FrancisThere is a need for financial reform along ethical lines that would produce in its turn an economic reform to benefit everyone. This would nevertheless require a courageous change of attitude on the part of political leaders.225
Andie MacDowellI remember early on, in my very, very early days, I had a makeup artist tell me that I needed to get an attitude. I had no idea what he was talking about.225
Hugh JackmanAmericans are the most generous country on the planet. I've worked in Europe, I've worked in Australia. There is no where else where you get absolutely no attitude for being a foreigner. If you do your job well, they embrace you.225
Ted CruzThe single biggest surprise about arriving to the Senate is the defeatist attitude here.225
Aung San Suu KyiMy attitude is, do as much as I can while I'm free. And if I'm arrested I'll still do as much as I can.226
CeeLo GreenRock n' roll is not just a fashion statement; it is the attitude, and it has a political posturing as well.226
Joel SalatinWe've created a tenfold core value protocol to make sure that we don't fall into an 'empire' attitude.226
Seamus HeaneyAt home in Ireland, there's a habit of avoidance, an ironical attitude towards the authority figure.226
Jessie JMy attitude goes back to my childhood. I used to audition for theatrical roles, and you can't stand out in a room full of ambitious eight-year-old girls by acting the wallflower. I realised then that I couldn't do things half-heartedly.226
Dolly PartonStop this attitude that older people ain't any good anymore! We're as good as we ever were - if we ever were any good.301
Betty WhiteI think it's your mental attitude. So many of us start dreading age in high school and that's a waste of a lovely life. 'Oh... I'm 30, oh, I'm 40, oh, 50.' Make the most of it.301
Hope SoloI have an attitude. It's what I do. I'm edgy. I have an attitude.301
Nick CleggLiberalism is a really old British tradition and it has a completely different attitude towards the individual and the relationship between the individual and the state than the collectivist response of Labour, and particularly Old Labour, does.301
Rob SheffieldYou can't beat the beehive for glam punkette attitude.301
Donna BrazileA white-boy attitude is 'I must exclude, denigrate, and leave behind.' They don't see it or think about it. It's a culture.302
Eddie Van HalenOn 'Van Halen,' I was a young punk, and everything revolved around the fastest kid in town, gunslinger attitude. But I'd say that at the time of 'Fair Warning,' I started concentrating more on songwriting. But I guess in most people's minds I'm just a gunslinger.303
Sebastian ThrunI believe e-courses will eventually change people's attitude toward learning. Education will play an increasingly dominant role in people's lives. For people of all ages and all geographies.303
Steve BuscemiBob Altman had this relaxed but serious attitude. Everybody loved him. I wanted him to adopt me.303
Will SelfThis is the paradox for me: in failure alone is there any possibility of success. I don't think I'm alone in this - nor do I think it's an attitude that only prevails among people whose work is obviously 'creative'.303
Joan CollinsI think it has something to do with being British. We don't take ourselves as seriously as some other countries do. I think a lot of people take themselves far too seriously; I find that a very tedious attitude.303
James SalterI love to write about Nabokov and also to think about him. I love his attitude that he is incomparable, his lofty judgments and general scorn of other writers - not all of them, of course.303
Ani DiFrancoWhen I first started writing songs and being very explicit, it was hard, but one of the main things people respond to in my writing is that 'just say it' attitude of my songs. There really is nothing personal or private; it's all universal, if you can just find the courage to be open about your life.304
Nancy PelosiI do believe that during the Bush-Cheney administration, that Vice President Cheney set a tone and an attitude for the CIA.304
Kurt CobainI was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.305
Kim CattrallHave you seen some of the women - and the men - in Los Angeles? They pay surgeons to make them look completely different in the hope of finding their youth. But youth comes from within. If you have a young attitude, then that can show in your face, the way you walk and move.305
Mariella FrostrupQuite honestly, if we do manage to destroy the planet with our devil-may-care attitude to natural resources, I'd suggest we leave, as a dossier in our defence, the collected letters to agony aunts and uncles down the generations. It would certainly prove that we weren't all bad!306
G. Willow WilsonFor most inhabitants of the Arab world, the prevailing cultural attitude toward women - fed and encouraged by Wahhabi doctrine, which is based on Bedouin social norms rather than Islamic jurisprudence - often trumps the rights accorded to women by Islam.307
Sylvia EarleAs a child, I was aware of the widely-held attitude that the ocean is so big, so resilient that we could use the sea as the ultimate place to dispose of anything we did not want, from garbage and nuclear wastes to sludge from sewage to entire ships that had reached the end of their useful life.307
Theodore RooseveltThe reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.308
PrinceYou don't have to watch 'Gossip Girl' to have an attitude.308
Carrie UnderwoodBeing a part of SKECHERS is exciting. It is such a hip company with a great attitude and image.308
Arthur EricksonPart of our western outlook stems from the scientific attitude and its method of isolating the parts of a phenomenon in order to analyze them.308
Bill RancicOne by one, all of my college buddies had taken these nothing-special entry-level jobs, pushing papers for $18,000 or $21,000 a year (and hating the work besides), and I'd turn up my nose and tell them I wasn't about to get out of bed for anything less than $50,000. That was my line, my attitude.308
Kangana RanautThey will always assume that this guy - an upcoming actor, what if he becomes a star tomorrow? He would not work with me then... so I might as well choose to be nice. But women are not treated with the same attitude. Women they treat really badly.309
Quincy JonesI think the attraction of 'American Idol' is about the basic human nature attitude that is, 'We can put you up there. But we can take you down.'309
Martin JacquesThe world is fortunate - for the time being, at least - that it has an American president in Obama who is prepared to take a conciliatory and concessive attitude towards America's decline and that it has a Chinese leadership which has been extremely cautious about expressing an opinion, let alone flexing its muscles.309
Sun Yat-senWe know a way now to make use of democracy, and we know how to change the attitude of people towards government, but yet the majority of people are without vision. We who have prevision must lead them and guide them into the right way if we want to escape the confusions of Western democracy and not follow in the tracks of the West.309
Caitlin MoranThe word 'spinster' tells you everything you need to know about our attitude of women who choose not to marry.311
Simon CowellMoney brings you security and choice. You can make decisions in a different way if you have a lot of money. But when you have nothing, you have a naivety, and a more fearless attitude because you have nothing to lose.312
Joel OsteenPeople in tough times - it doesn't mean they don't have a great attitude.313
Richard AttenboroughIf someone does something in an entertainment/pop ambience, that person becomes someone who has an impact on the conduct and attitude of a huge number of people who peripherally come in contact with them.314
Christopher HitchensWhen I go to the clinic next and sit with a tube in my arm and watch the poison go in, I'm in an attitude of abject passivity. It doesn't feel like fighting at all; it just feels like submitting.315
Corey TaylorI have very diverse tastes in music, and I don't, like, make distinctions between what I can't and can't listen to. In fact, I could never understand why anybody would do that in the first place. My attitude is, 'I can't make music if I don't like music.'315
Terry TeachoutI am, as it happens, a baby boomer, but not one who feels any broad-gauge nostalgia for the '60s and '70s. My attitude resembles that of my parents, who were born in the '20s and lived through the Great Depression and World War II.316
Dick CheneyThe Senator from Massachusetts has given us ample grounds to doubt the judgment and the attitude he brings to bear on vital issues of national security.317
William JamesThere must be something solemn, serious, and tender about any attitude which we denominate religious. If glad, it must not grin or snicker; if sad, it must not scream or curse.318
Kareem Abdul-JabbarToday's youth are told to get rich or die trying and they really shouldn't take that attitude forward with them.320
Joel OsteenIt's easy to get negative because you get beat down. You go through a few disappointments and it's easy to stay in that negative frame of mind. Choosing to be positive and having a grateful attitude is a whole cliche, but your attitude is going to determine how you're going to live your life.321
Frans de WaalExperiments with animals have long been handicapped by our anthropocentric attitude: We often test them in ways that work fine with humans but not so well with other species.321
Hugh GrantI've certainly had a bad attitude to my job on many occasions. Not since 'Four Weddings and a Funeral'. I've been rather a good boy and really given it everything when I've accepted a part since then, because I've been given much better parts in films.321
Jo BrandMy father was an engineer and my mother was a social worker, and they met as young socialists. That probably tells you everything you need to know about my attitude to money - I've never really been bothered about it.321
Malcolm XAmerica needs to understand Islam, because this is the one religion that erases from its society the race problem. Throughout my travels in the Muslim world, I have met, talked to, even eaten with people who in America would have been considered 'white,' but the 'white' attitude had been removed from their minds by the religion of Islam.322
Cory BookerIn America, our differences matter, but our country matters more. That's the attitude I wanted to take to the Senate.322
Christian BaleI met my grandfather just before he died, and it was the first time that I had seen Dad with a relative of his. It was interesting to see my own father as a son and the body language and alteration in attitude that comes with that, and it sort of changed our relationship for the better.323
Rebecca MacKinnonThere is clearly a constituency that appreciates the message that Google is sending, that it finds the Chinese government's attitude to the Internet and censorship unacceptable.323
Umberto EcoReligion has nothing to do with God. It's a fundamental attitude of human beings, who ask about the origins of life and what happens after death. For many, the answer is a personal god. In my opinion, it's religion that produces God, not the other way round.324
Tom BrokawWhen you walk into a doctor's office, you've got to have the same attitude you would about anything else. You've got to ask tough questions, and you've got to not be afraid to challenge their credentials.325
Jimmy CarterI separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women, because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God's eyes between men and women, slaves and masters, Jews and non-Jews - everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.326
Mary LambertAdele shattered the image of how the stereotypical singer is supposed to look. She has that whole 'Screw you, I'm awesome for what I do' attitude, which I really look up to and want to be a part of.326
Victoria OsteenWith His love, you can wake up every day with an attitude of faith and expectancy.403
George TakeiWe have to remember that Putin was a member of the KGB. He has already demonstrated that kind of macho, dictatorial attitude. Russia has breached their pledge to uphold the Olympic charter. This is a great opportunity for the IOC to say we cannot, given the situation that exists currently, allow the Olympics to take place in Russia.403
Mira NairThe dignity of everyday life - the beauty of it, the attitude of it - is what I live around. And it is never on screen, and it is certainly never associated with Africa. If we see Africa at all, it is always used as a backdrop: a big blob of a continent rather than a specific street or a country or a place.404
Brie LarsonI've always felt like I've had the ability to choose which roles I was going to play. I don't think that the industry agreed with me, but I've always had a bit of a headstrong attitude of only doing the things that I really believe in and want to explore.406
Karen SalmansohnWhen you feel stuck in a hard time, jump-start a pro-change attitude by letting go of possessions that no longer work for you - like old clothes and old shoes.406
Victoria OsteenIt's important to recognize that forgiveness is more than mere words; it's a heart attitude that induces a spiritual transformation.407
Zig ZiglarYou cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.407
Neil deGrasse TysonIf your ego starts out, 'I am important, I am big, I am special,' you're in for some disappointments when you look around at what we've discovered about the universe. No, you're not big. No, you're not. You're small in time and in space. And you have this frail vessel called the human body that's limited on Earth.408
Ehud BarakIsrael always has a special filter to look at things, and that is the attitude toward Jews.409
Martin JacquesAfter the Meiji restoration in 1868, Japan adopted an expansionist and colonial attitude towards its neighbours. It sought to identify itself with the West and looked down upon the Asian continent as backward and inferior. For most of the next 70 years, Japan was at war, mainly with its neighbours.409
Pope FrancisVanity, showing off, is an attitude that reduces spirituality to a worldly thing, which is the worst sin that could be committed in the church.410
Orison Swett MardenNo one is mocked with the yearning for that which he has no ability to attain. If he holds the right mental attitude and struggles earnestly, honestly toward his goal, he will reach it, or at least approximate to it.411
Bradley WigginsMy attitude is that, if you have nothing to hide, why not show it?412
Victor HugoCertain thoughts are prayers. There are moments when, whatever be the attitude of the body, the soul is on its knees.416
Ben CarsonWe live in a country that used to have a can-do attitude, and now we have a 'what-can-you-do-for-me?' attitude, and what I try to do is find ways that we can develop common ground.416
Jason DayYou have to come in to major championships, and your attitude has to be on point.416
Jason DayIf you're going to have a bad attitude, you may as well not even tee it up that week because you probably won't play good anyways.417
John OrtbergThe most important criterion is this: hire someone whose character and humility and attitude you would like to have reproduced in your church and in yourself.417
Billy GrahamIf a person gets his attitude toward money straight, it will help straighten out almost every other area in his life.418
MobyMany of my friends back in New York and elsewhere have a glib or dismissive attitude toward Los Angeles. It's a place of strip malls and traffic and not much else, in their opinion.421
Terry PratchettThere is a soak-the-rich attitude in the air, a feeling that if you have a lot of money you must have got it by some ghastly means. I can quite happily say there was never any family money. All the money we got was mine, just from writing books.422
Vivienne WestwoodBritishness is just a way of putting things together and a certain don't care attitude about clothes. You don't care, you just do it and it looks great.422
Dwayne JohnsonAttitude and enthusiasm play a big part in my life. I get excited about the things that inspire me. I also believe in laughing and having a good time.424
Ian MckellenI certainly don't disparage someone whose attitude towards their work is utterly different from mine - that's up to them.425
Pierre Teilhard de ChardinNeither the Christian attitude of love for all mankind nor humane hopes for an organized society must cause us to forget that the 'human stratum' may not be homogeneous.426
Joyce MeyerIf someone you know makes a bad decision or uses bad judgment, it doesn't mean you have to allow that to alter your attitude. Why should you allow anyone else's bad decisions to send you into a tailspin of misery?504
Trent ReznorThe idea of politics is just so uninteresting to me - I've never paid much attention to it. I don't believe things can really change. It doesn't matter who's president. Nothing really gets resolved. I don't know. I guess that's not the right attitude to take.508
Ruth RendellI don't like the way young people write and talk about the old. I don't like their attitude, which, if they weren't young and therefore bright and vibrant, would be called outdated.509
Carine RoitfeldI am very surprised by someone like Alexander Wang. I am amazed how he is good with fashion, with business, with public relations himself, with an attitude in his clothes that is spoken immediately.510
Rob LoweSome actors specialize in shooting weapons and punching people. Some have the market on playing buffoons cornered, others specialize in roles that require heavy makeup or outrageous wardrobe. Some trade exclusively in a post-ironic blase attitude.510
Marilyn MonroeSometimes, wearing a scarf and a polo coat and no makeup and with a certain attitude of walking, I go shopping or just look at people living. But then, you know, there will be a few teenagers who are kind of sharp, and they'll say, 'Hey, just a minute. You know who I think that is?' And they'll start tailing me. And I don't mind.511
Jesse VenturaMy attitude when I'm in Mexico is I wake up in the morning with nothing to do and I go to bed half done. I don't wear a watch. When I live down there, I do nothing according to time. I eat when I'm hungry and go to sleep when I'm tired.515
Ambrose BierceWe submit to the majority because we have to. But we are not compelled to call our attitude of subjection a posture of respect.516
Martin O'MalleyThe attitude in Baltimore in 1999 was almost one of resignation, that our problems were bigger than our capacity to handle them.520
Tom StoppardIf I had been asked to write 1,200 words for a newspaper tomorrow, on any subject, I would just do it rather than leave a white hole in the page. And I think it's a very healthy attitude to take to writing anything.521
Taylor SwiftI have so many indie bands on my iPod. What I don't really understand is the attitude that if a band is unknown, they're good, and if they get fans, then you move on to the next band.524
Joyce MeyerI want to look my best for God. So many people have the attitude that if you're a Christian you've got to dress bad, wear an old color, not do anything to your hair, have nothing. It's no wonder that Christianity is not very attractive. I mean, how many people do you know in a Western culture that's going to go, 'Yeah, give me some of that?'526
Carine RoitfeldYou lose attitude when you feel too comfortable, so I prefer to wear clothes that have a certain edge to them.601
Peter DiamandisMany have built their careers buttressing the status quo, reinforcing what they've already accomplished, and resisting the radical thinking that can topple their legacy - not exactly the attitude you want when trying to drive innovation forward.606
Kevin HartI love women with attitude.608
Joyce MeyerChoosing an attitude of faith will release peace out of your spirit and into your soul.608
Orison Swett MardenIt is the hopeful, buoyant, cheerful attitude of mind that wins. Optimism is a success builder; pessimism an achievement killer.608
Zig ZiglarIt will be disastrous when a leader or manager shows up with one attitude one day and treats people with a different attitude the next day.615
Joel OsteenI believe that when you think of the negative, and you get up discouraged - 'There's nothing good in my future' - I really believe it almost ties the hands of God. God works where there's an attitude of faith. I believe faith is all about hope.624
Joyce MeyerRefuse to be a lazy Christian, and resist a passive, apathetic attitude.702
Rush LimbaughThe attitude of the Democrat Party is that wherever there are Republicans they are so bad, they are so discriminatory, they are so racist, they're so bigoted, they're just such reprobates that we can't afford to let them have any say whatsoever in what's happening.719
Oscar WildeMorality is simply the attitude we adopt towards people whom we personally dislike. 720
Michael MooreWhat really went wrong is that General Motors has had this philosophy from the beginning that what's good for General Motors is good for the country. So, their attitude was, 'We'll build it and you buy it. We'll tell you what to buy. You just buy it.'723
Joyce MeyerHope is favorable and confident expectation; it's an expectant attitude that something good is going to happen and things will work out, no matter what situation we're facing.905
Dolly PartonI walk tall; I got a tall attitude.911
Joyce MeyerReproach is shame, blame, disgrace, disapproval and a disrespectful attitude toward yourself. When you're under reproach, your behavior shows it.1117
Henry RollinsEverything I do, writing, touring, travelling, it all comes from the punk and hardcore attitude, from that expression - from being open to try things but relying on yourself, taking what you have into the battle and making of it what you will, hoping you can figure it out as you go. Make some sense of it.1805
