Herb RittsI did grow up next door to Steve McQueen, who was a very famous movie star at the time, but as a kid it didn't impress me. We always had great fun with him. He would take us out on Sundays on his motorcycles, riding around in the desert; he was like a second father.101
Herbert SpencerThe great aim of education is not knowledge but action. 101
Howie MandelOne of the great pleasures of having children is spending one-on-one time with them. Sadly, I could do that for only a few minutes at a time. I'd never say that ADD/ADHD is a gift or a blessing. And if someone says it is a gift, I'd love to return it.101

Baz LuhrmannIf you wanted to show a mirror to people that says, 'You've been drunk on money,' they're not going to want to see it.

Eugene JareckiElites are once again invoking Reagan, dropping their G's and saying things in a folksy sort of way that's meant to capture the hearts of people.

Kathie Lee GiffordTo this day I do not believe I'm great at anything.101
Kris KristoffersonI never thought of acting as a creative process. Christ, I used to go to the movies and see Brando talking like he was trying to sell shoes, and he was great. I thought anybody could do it. Then I tried it, and I got so uptight, I'm limited as to what I can do on film.101

Pierre CurieAlfred Nobel's discoveries are characteristic; powerful explosives can help men perform admirable tasks. They are also a means to terrible destruction in the hands of the great criminals who lead peoples to war.101
Rose McIverThe great thing about being an actor in a film is that you're able to start knowing exactly where you're going to finish and really paint something in between. You can work to know the arc you need to build. Whereas in television, it is open-ended, and you're constantly guessing. There are pros and cons to both.101
Shakti GawainAmbition is an idol, on whose wings great minds are carried only to extreme; to be sublimely great or to be nothing.101
Soledad O'BrienI've learned that fear limits you and your vision. It serves as blinders to what may be just a few steps down the road for you.

Jan EgelandFinally, I also come in recognition of the great work that has been undertaken by the NGOs and UN agencies that have been active for many years here, especially through the local staff and international staff here in Somaliland and in Somalia at large.101
Jan Peter BalkenendeThe horrors of the Second World War, the chilling winds of the Cold War and the crushing weight of the Iron Curtain are little more than fading memories. Ideals that once commanded great loyalty are now taken for granted.101
Jim Yong KimOne of the lessons of leadership worth emphasizing is that you want to get to know other great leaders and take their advice. At some point in your development, it's only people who've been in the seat of having to be leaders who can help you in a deep way.101
John MellencampUnemployment is sky-rocketing; deflation is in our future for the first time since the Great Depression. I don't care whose fault it is, it's the truth.101

Julie BurchillAs a precocious teen I dreamed of being Graham Greene.

Karolina KurkovaSimply enjoy life and the great pleasures that come with it. 101
Kelly CutroneI don't have time to write a mom blog, but I'm not against it. I think it's great when women talk about things. I'm all about female empowerment. There's a lot of lonely, lost moms out there. Moms need to be encouraged to tell the truth. There's a lot of glamour mommy stuff. It's OK to get real.101

Henry BestonThe three great elemental sounds in nature are the sound of rain, the sound of wind in a primeval wood, and the sound of outer ocean on a beach.101
Jim SensenbrennerThese days the temptation to use steroids in sports has become too great for many young athletes.101
Jimmy ConnorsExperience is a great advantage. The problem is that when you get the experience, you're too damned old to do anything about it.101
Marvin GayeGreat artists suffer for the people.101
Michael BoltonNo matter how great we get with digital formats of instrumentation, nothing really quite duplicates the real thing.101
Michael ChangI feel like I have as good a shot as anybody out there and I have gotten close in the past, so why not have the attitude that I can come out and play great tennis and maybe even win this tournament.101
Michael MannMiami is one of these great places that is a really sensual, physically beautiful place.101
Mike McCueLet's say you go to a friend's wedding, or Thanksgiving, or Halloween. It'd be great the next day to see what went on with your friends' Thanksgiving weekend, or all the costumes they wore on Halloween, and be able to look back and see what they wore the year before, and the year before that.101
Monica SelesYou will never have great tennis champions from England because of the cold and dark, but most of all because people only care about the sport for two weeks a year, and then they're on to something else. There's just not a great love of the sport there.101
Richard O'BrienWe were a Western civilisation, an English speaking civilisation, both NZ and Australia, and we had all these influences coming from both Great Britain and America to us; sending us their culture in the shape and form of movies and television.101
Robert KirkmanI don't presume to think I'm great at anything.101
Roy BarnesWe are all one - or at least we should be - and it is our job, our duty, and our great challenge to fight the voices of division and seek the salve of reconciliation.101
Thomas BeechamGreat music is that which penetrates the ear with facility and leaves the memory with difficulty. Magical music never leaves the memory.101
Tristan WildsSometimes I wish that I could go into a time machine right now and just look at my self and say, 'Calm down. Things are gonna be fine. Things are gonna be all great. Just relax.'101
Winthrop RockefellerToday is a great day, not only of healing and reconciliation, but also coming together. I'm so glad the whole Little Rock Nine was alive and here to see this.101
Abbi JacobsonI'm so thankful for that struggling period. That time is really great where you have no idea what's going to happen.101
Bernard L. SchwartzWith the sole exception of President Bill Clinton, whose 'bridge to the 21st century' evoked the vision and optimism of other great Democratic presidents of the 20th century, such as FDR and John F. Kennedy, pessimism about America's economic future has been the hallmark of modern progressivism.101
Carrie SnowTechnology... is a queer thing. It brings you great gifts with one hand, and it stabs you in the back with the other.101
Edward DyerIf nice guys finish last, then great guys come in right after them.101
Elizabeth AshleyIn a great romance, each person basically plays a part that the other really likes.101
Elsa SchiaparelliEating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.101
Giorgos SeferisEvery man of action has a strong dose of egoism, pride, hardness, and cunning. But all those things will be regarded as high qualities if he can make them the means to achieve great ends.101
James C. MaxwellIn a few years, all great physical constants will have been approximately estimated, and that the only occupation which will be left to men of science will be to carry these measurements to another place of decimals.101
John AstinOne of the great things about being recognized is that you receive this feedback from people. It is easy to see how sincere people are. It's nothing fake or jive. They're giving sincere appreciation. And it's not that easy to express.101
Kit CarsonIn camp was found a book, the first of the kind I had ever seen, in which I was made a great hero, slaying Indians by the hundreds.101
Mary Elizabeth LeaseAn organized effort is making to deceive the people. There are two great enemies of thought and progress, the aristocracy of royalty and the aristocracy of gold.101
Meg RyanIt would be really great if people would realize that stars are only people with the same weaknesses and flaws, not immaculate idols.101
Robert HerrickIt takes great wit and interest and energy to be happy. The pursuit of happiness is a great activity. One must be open and alive. It is the greatest feat man has to accomplish.101
Steve GarveyI used to look like an American flag. The Padre uniform makes me look like a taco. Actually, the transition has been great. I've made 25 new friends, and I never thought I wanted to be anything other than a Dodger, but this is fun.101
Tom CavanaghFor me, if its television, if it's theater, if it's film, and it's good, I don't make much of distinction between the 3. I think there's only so many great stories out there. If you get the chance to be a part of one, it doesn't matter what it is.101
A. Scott BergWhen most people think of Woodrow Wilson, they see a dour minister's son who never cracked a smile, where in fact he was a man of genuine joy and great sadness.101
Basil HumeThe great gift of Easter is hope - Christian hope which makes us have that confidence in God, in his ultimate triumph, and in his goodness and love, which nothing can shake.101
Byron NelsonEvery great player has learned the two Cs: how to concentrate and how to maintain composure.101
Columbus ShortI think showing heroes as fallible helps us and reminds us that we are ourselves fallible and no man is perfect but we can still achieve great things.101
D. L. HughleyThere's something about having a great bottle of wine and a great cigar. Nothing compares to it.101
Dilma RousseffI had great admiration for the election of President Obama. I believe that the U.S. at that moment showed tremendous capacity to show that it is a great nation, and it surprised the world. It may be very difficult to be able to elect a black president in the U.S. - as it was very difficult to elect a woman president in Brazil.101
James TobinThe miserable failures of capitalist economies in the Great Depression were root causes of worldwide social and political disasters.101
Joshua ReynoldsA mere copier of nature can never produce anything great.101
Ramsey ClarkA great many people in this country are worried about law-and-order. And a great many people are worried about justice. But one thing is certain; you cannot have either until you have both.101
Sid MeierOur goal has been to stay true to what people most love about the original Pirates! while upgrading, enhancing, and in some cases, re-inventing the game to make it a great experience for today's gamers.101
Susan BysiewiczWe have a great location between Boston and New York, a highly educated work force, and Connecticut is a beautiful place to live.101
Allen BoydAmerica's fighting men and women sacrifice much to ensure that our great nation stays free. We owe a debt of gratitude to the soldiers that have paid the ultimate price for this cause, as well as for those who are blessed enough to return from the battlefield unscathed.101
Blaine LeeThe great leaders are like the best conductors - they reach beyond the notes to reach the magic in the players.101
Brooke Foss WestcottGreat occasions do not make heroes or cowards; they simply unveil them to the eyes of men. Silently and imperceptibly, as we wake or sleep, we grow strong or weak; and at last some crisis shows what we have become.101
Donal HenahanIt might be argued that genuine spontaneity is not really possible or desirable so long as printed scores of great works exist. All modern musicians are, for better or worse, prisoners of Gutenberg.101
Jami GertzThe great medical facilities are a relief for the parents, too, who don't have to think about caring for their young ones on their own for a weekend. They have a great time.101
John HoevenFrom the world wars of Europe to the jungles of the Far East, from the deserts of the Middle East to the African continent, and even here in our own hemisphere, our veterans have made the world a better place and America the great country we are today.101
Mark PagelI think the driving force for cultural evolution is this desire for groups to be splitting off and separating and forming subgroups insofar as the environment will allow it. We see great cultural diversity and large numbers of cultures per unit area in regions of the world in which the environment is really rich.101
Meryl DavisJust remember: to be grateful and thank the people who are there and support you along the way is a great start to success.101
Michael EndeLife holds one great but quite commonplace mystery. Though shared by each of us and known to all, seldom rates a second thought. That mystery, which most of us take for granted and never think twice about, is time.101
Seth LowThe great city can teach something that no university by itself can altogether impart: a vivid sense of the largeness of human brotherhood, a vivid sense of man's increasing obligation to man; a vivid sense of our absolute dependence on one another.101
Carl ZeissI remember the great atmosphere and the great stadium.101
Craig RaineGreat writers arrive among us like new diseases threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible.101
Jay ChiatThe team architecture means setting up an organization that helps people produce that great work in teams.101
Joe SakicAfter 20 years in the game, I was fortunate to get away from the game and enjoy my family, which was great for me.101
Markwayne MullinThe fundamentals that founded our great nation included the freedom of speech and religion.101
Matthew SettleThe typical Western is kind of a good-guy/bad-guy thing, and that's great, but initially when I heard about 'Into the West,' and what I love about it is it delves into both sides of our cultural past, and it puts more of a human face on the Native Americans.101
Alice WaltonI think it is more of an intuitive, circular kind of personality, for starters. And, as I say of horses, the secret to breeding great horses is the three B's: bones, brains, and balance. If you look at art, it shares some of the same qualities.101
Amanda BordenGymnastics, for me, gave me a lot of self-pride: that drive to want to be great at something for myself. But it also gave me a sense of appreciation toward God. Now that I'm getting older, I really appreciate the talents God gave me. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.101
Janet SuzmanBut I think the possibility of a black and white society feeding each other's expertises, living harmoniously, will probably go along in fits and starts now but at least it has a great constitution now to back it up.101
Jerry StillerDuring the Great Depression, when people laughed their worries disappeared. Audiences loved these funny men. I decided to become one.101
Michael KingI see the great continuities in New Zealand history as being decency and common sense and up until now when we've confronted these things we've been able to talk them through, and I'm sure we will with this issue as well.101
Rajiv GandhiFor some days, people thought that India was shaking. But there are always tremors when a great tree falls.101
Anthony PerkinsI have learned more about love, selflessness and human understanding from the people I have met in this great adventure in the world of AIDS than I ever did in the cutthroat, competitive world in which I spent my life.101
Johnny ThundersThe Dolls were an attitude. If nothing else they were a great attitude.101
Marjorie HolmesI find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it, but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.101
Maryon PearsonBehind every great man there is a suprised woman.101
James MartineauAll that is noble in the world's past history, and especially the minds of the great and the good, are never lost.101
Jinato HuTibet is a beautiful and richly endowed region of our great motherland.101
J. Reuben ClarkMay He who holds in his hands the destinies of nations, make you worthy of the favors He has bestowed, and enabled you with pure hearts and hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time, the great charge He has committed to your keeping.101
Jack CharltonWe never had a huge squad and we never had a great deal of choice. But in many ways that helps because you've got to make do with what you've got. You don't have too many problems about picking the team you just hope that everyone turns up on the day.101
Henry A. WallaceIf we put our trust in the common sense of common men and 'with malice toward none and charity for all' go forward on the great adventure of making political, economic and social democracy a practical reality, we shall not fail.102
Kobe BryantThe most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.102
Norman SchwarzkopfA great deal of the capability of an army is its dedication to its cause and its will to fight. You can have the best equipment in the world, you can have the largest numbers in the world, but, if you're not dedicated to your cause, if you don't have the will to fight, then, you are not going to have a very good army.102
Saint Teresa of AvilaMental prayer in my opinion is nothing else than an intimate sharing between friends; it means taking time frequently to be alone with Him who we know loves us. The important thing is not to think much but to love much and so do that which best stirs you to love. Love is not great delight but desire to please God in everything.102
Vincent Van GoghGreat things are done by a series of small things brought together. 102
BonoTo be one, to be united is a great thing. But to respect the right to be different is maybe even greater.102
Christopher ColumbusBut in truth, should I meet with gold or spices in great quantity, I shall remain till I collect as much as possible, and for this purpose I am proceeding solely in quest of them.102
Dwayne JohnsonThat's a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time.102
Jack KerouacGreat things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.102
Jerry SeinfeldWe want to do a lot of stuff; we're not in great shape. We didn't get a good night's sleep. We're a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup.102
John RuskinA little thought and a little kindness are often worth more than a great deal of money. 102
Marshall McLuhanOur Age of Anxiety is, in great part, the result of trying to do today's job with yesterday's tools and yesterday's concepts.102
Morgan FreemanIt's what I learn from the great actors that I work with. Stillness. That's all and that's the hardest thing.102
Al PacinoI don't think actors should ever expect to get a role, because the disappointment is too great. You've got to think of things as an opportunity. An audition's an opportunity to have an audience.102
AnaxagorasEverything has a natural explanation. The moon is not a god, but a great rock, and the sun a hot rock.102
Ben OkriOur time here is magic! It's the only space you have to realize whatever it is that is beautiful, whatever is true, whatever is great, whatever is potential, whatever is rare, whatever is unique, in. It's the only space.102
Beth DittoAs with most phobias, the fear of flying does make some sense, but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all, life is short, and there's a great big world to explore out there.102
Billie Joe ArmstrongMy brother David was a great athlete and I knew there was no way I could live up to that.102
Buddy RichThey're simply following what was laid down in front and they play the same thing. So, there's no great challenge In being a classical drummer.102
Charles Maurice de TalleyrandLove of glory can only create a great hero; contempt of glory creates a great man.102
Chris EvansThe point is that when I see a sunset or a waterfall or something, for a split second it's so great, because for a little bit I'm out of my brain, and it's got nothing to do with me. I'm not trying to figure it out, you know what I mean? And I wonder if I can somehow find a way to maintain that mind stillness.102
Chuck CloseA face is a road map of someone's life. Without any need to amplify that or draw attention to it, there's a great deal that's communicated about who this person is and what their life experiences have been.102
Chuck PalahniukOur Generation has had no Great war, no Great Depression. Our war is spiritual. Our depression is our lives.102
Dan GableMore enduringly than any other sport, wrestling teaches self-control and pride. Some have wrestled without great skill - none have wrestled without pride.102
Danica PatrickMy goal is people associate November with COPD awareness month as much as they notice October with breast cancer and pink. That'd be a great thing if it happened. The fact that COPD kills more people than breast cancer and diabetes put together should raise some red flags.102
Dave MatthewsWe have to be active about kindness and about peace. I've always fantasized that it would be great if there was a Department of Peace.102
David Foster WallaceThe great thing about irony is that it splits things apart, gets up above them so we can see the flaws and hypocrisies and duplicates.102
David RicardoAs the revenue of the farmer is realized in raw produce, or in the value of raw produce, he is interested, as well as the landlord, in its high exchangeable value, but a low price of produce may be compensated to him by a great additional quantity.102
Dick GregoryWe used to root for the Indians against the cavalry, because we didn't think it was fair in the history books that when the cavalry won it was a great victory, and when the Indians won it was a massacre.102
Dorothy L. SayersThe great advantage about telling the truth is that nobody ever believes it. 102
E. Stanley JonesWe grow small trying to be great. 102
Edward de BonoCreativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.102
Eldridge CleaverThere is no calamity which a great nation can invite which equals that which follows a supine submission to wrong and injustice and the consequent loss of national self-respect and honor, beneath which are shielded and defended a people's safety and greatness.102
Ernest ShackletonI seemed to vow to myself that some day I would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till I came to one of the poles of the earth, the end of the axis upon which this great round ball turns.102
Felix AdlerThe hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.102
Florence Scovel ShinnEvery great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.102
Fran LebowitzGreat people talk about ideas, average people talk about things, and small people talk about wine.102
Francesca AnnisI'm one of the great unemployed looking for the next job. I'm waiting for the right offer. Like anyone, I want something that turns me on inside.102
Frederick the GreatDon't forget your great guns, which are the most respectable arguments of the rights of kings.102
Frederick William FaberKind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.102
Friedrich August von HayekI regard it in fact as the great advantage of the mathematical technique that it allows us to describe, by means of algebraic equations, the general character of a pattern even where we are ignorant of the numerical values which will determine its particular manifestation.102
Gabriel Garcia MarquezShe discovered with great delight that one does not love one's children just because they are one's children but because of the friendship formed while raising them.102
Gary OldmanWanting to be a good actor is not good enough. You must want to be a great actor. You just have to have that.102
Gordon B. HinckleyYou can't build a great building on a weak foundation. You must have a solid foundation if you're going to have a strong superstructure.102
Henri Cartier-BressonIn photography, the smallest thing can be a great subject. The little, human detail can become a Leitmotiv.102
Henry Cabot LodgeWe would not have our country's vigour exhausted or her moral force abated, by everlasting meddling and muddling in every quarrel, great and small, which afflicts the world.102
HerodotusGreat deeds are usually wrought at great risks. 102
Horace MannSeek not greatness, but seek truth and you will find both. 102
HypatiaFables should be taught as fables, myths as myths, and miracles as poetic fantasies. To teach superstitions as truths is a most terrible thing. The child mind accepts and believes them, and only through great pain and perhaps tragedy can he be in after years relieved of them.102
Irving BabbittA person who has sympathy for mankind in the lump, faith in its future progress, and desire to serve the great cause of this progress, should be called not a humanist, but a humanitarian, and his creed may be designated as humanitarianism.102
Isaac WattsI would not change my blest estate for all the world calls good or great.102
James DeanIf a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.102
John C. CalhounOur government is deeply disordered; its credit is impaired; its debt increasing; its expenditures extravagant and wasteful; its disbursements without efficient accountability; and its taxes (for duties are but taxes) enormous, unequal, and oppressive to the great producing classes of the country.102
John CalvinFor there is no one so great or mighty that he can avoid the misery that will rise up against him when he resists and strives against God.102
Karl Wilhelm Friedrich SchlegelIrony is the form of paradox. Paradox is what is good and great at the same time.102
Kate BushI had friends but I was spending a great deal of my time alone and for me that was vital because there's an awful lot you learn about yourself when you're alone.102
Kate WinsletI often look at women who wear great jeans and high heels and nice little T-shirts wandering around the city, and I think, 'I should make more of an effort. I should look like that.' But then I think, 'They can't be happy in those heels.'102
Lee IacoccaIn times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.102
Leonard BernsteinTo achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time. 102
Lewis ThomasWe live in a dancing matrix of viruses; they dart, rather like bees, from organism to organism, from plant to insect to mammal to me and back again, and into the sea, tugging along pieces of this genome, strings of genes from that, transplanting grafts of DNA, passing around heredity as though at a great party.102
Lois LowryOddly, the military world is one of great sameness. There is an orderly quality to life on an army base, and even the children of the military are brought up with that sense of order and sameness.102
Louisa May AlcottYou have a good many little gifts and virtues, but there is no need of parading them, for conceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long, and the great charm of all power is modesty.102
Luke BryanEvery day I wake up and I lay in bed counting my blessings and saying my prayers for how fortunate I am to have great fans and health and family.102
Madeleine AlbrightI really think that there was a great advantage in many ways to being a woman. I think we are a lot better at personal relationships, and then have the capability obviously of telling it like it is when it's necessary.102
Malcolm MuggeridgeEvery happening, great and small, is a parable whereby God speaks to us, and the art of life is to get the message.102
Martha GrahamGreat dancers are not great because of their technique, they are great because of their passion. 102
Michael MooreI'm interested to see what happens with Fox News and phone hacking. I really can't believe it just happens in Great Britain. Because really, who cares about just hacking phones over there?102
Michael StrahanThe great thing coming from sports is you understand the concept of a team. It leaves no room for being selfish, and that's something I picked up from home.102
Milan KunderaAll great novels, all true novels, are bisexual.102
MoliereThe greater the obstacle, the more glory in overcoming it. 102
Nat TurnerHaving soon discovered to be great, I must appear so, and therefore studiously avoided mixing in society, and wrapped myself in mystery, devoting my time to fasting and prayer.102
Naveen JainSuccess doesn't necessarily come from breakthrough innovation but from flawless execution. A great strategy alone won't win a game or a battle; the win comes from basic blocking and tackling.102
Nolan BushnellI've always thought legal addictions are a great way to create a business. Starbucks is a wonderful example.102
NostradamusThe great empire will be torn from limb, the all-powerful one for more than four-hundred years: Great power given to the dark one from slaves come.102
Oscar de la RentaThe great thing about fashion is that it always looks forward.102
Pablo NerudaThe books that help you most are those which make you think that most. The hardest way of learning is that of easy reading; but a great book that comes from a great thinker is a ship of thought, deep freighted with truth and beauty.102
Patch AdamsI'm great at a deathbed. I've never given tranquillisers or psychiatric medicine. I've given love and fun and creativity and passion and hope, and these things ease suffering.102
Patti SmithI would rather write or record something great and have it overlooked than do mediocre work and have it be popular.102
Paul DiracThere is in my opinion a great similarity between the problems provided by the mysterious behavior of the atom and those provided by the present economic paradoxes confronting the world.102
Peter MarshallSmall deeds done are better than great deeds planned.102
Phil CrosbyVery few of the great leaders ever get through their careers without failing, sometimes dramatically.102
Priyanka ChopraI think it's great to be flawed. I am hugely flawed, and I like it this way. That's the fun of life. You fall, get up, make mistakes, learn from them, be human and be you.102
Queen VictoriaGreat events make me quiet and calm; it is only trifles that irritate my nerves.102
Richard RogersMy passion and great enjoyment for architecture, and the reason the older I get the more I enjoy it, is because I believe we - architects - can effect the quality of life of the people.102
Rickey HendersonLou Brock was a great base stealer but today I am the greatest.102
Rita RudnerIt's so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.102
Robert Griffin IIII think if you're a good high school player that you have the ability to be a good college football player. If you're a good college football then you have the ability to be a great NFL player.102
Rosalynn CarterA leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don't necessarily want to go, but ought to be.102
Rose KennedyProsperity tries the fortunate, adversity the great. 102
Ross PerotAction is greater than writing. A good man is a nobler object of contemplation than a great author. There are but two things worth living for: to do what is worthy of being written; and to write what is worthy of being read.102
Shirley MansonI was a redhead and a middle child; both can make you feel excluded. It's like fighting to be included, in the swim of things. After a while you start to develop a bit of a victim mentality, which isn't great for a happy life.102
Willa CatherWhere there is great love, there are always wishes. 102
Wilma RudolphWinning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.102
Wolfgang Amadeus MozartIt is a great consolation for me to remember that the Lord, to whom I had drawn near in humble and child-like faith, has suffered and died for me, and that He will look on me in love and compassion.102
Yousuf KarshI've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create.102
Allan BloomAuthentic values are those by which a life can be lived, which can form a people that produces great deeds and thoughts.102
Brandon RouthAnd the spirit of Superman is great to have around.102
Brooke BurkeForget all the bars and schmoozing and everybody checking out everybody else. My ideal date would be to park in a dark place, check out the stars, and have a great conversation. When all else fails, you can just make out.102
Charles SimmonsIt is a great evil, as well as a misfortune, to be unable to utter a prompt and decided 'no'.102
Chen Shui-bianThrough mutual understanding, sincerity and goodwill, and with great wisdom and broad views, the leaders on both sides should jointly initiate new opportunities for peace, stability, cooperation and mutual benefit.102
Dakota FanningIt's just such an honor to say that I was in something by Steven Spielberg. I feel so blessed I got to meet such great people, and I got to go to a beautiful place, Vancouver, and I had a great time.102
Hjalmar BrantingAs a result of the World War and of a peace whose imperfections and risks are no longer denied by anyone, are we not even further away from the great aspirations and hopes for peace and fraternity than we were one or two decades ago?102
Hugh SideyThey can see the brave silhouette from almost anywhere in the District of Columbia and use it as a compass to locate other monuments and eventually to find their way out of the great, gray federal wilderness.102
Islom KarimovA person may rightfully be happy if in this life he could do a great favor for widows and orphans, could assist support than, and facilitate fate of people.102
James PattersonOne of the nice things about books as opposed to television and movies to some extent is it's not a passive entertainment. People really do get involved, and they do create, and they do have their own visions of what different characters look like and what should happen. It's great - it means their brains are working.102
Johannes KeplerThe diversity of the phenomena of nature is so great, and the treasures hidden in the heavens so rich, precisely in order that the human mind shall never be lacking in fresh nourishment.102
John Henry NewmanA great memory does not make a mind, any more than a dictionary is a piece of literature.102
John LegendExperience is a great teacher.102
Lafcadio HearnAs a result, the highly civilized man can endure incomparably more than the savage, whether of moral or physical strain. Being better able to control himself under all circumstances, he has a great advantage over the savage.102
Marc ChagallGreat art picks up where nature ends.102
Patti LaBelleAll I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don't let anybody crush your dream.102
Philip James BaileyLet each man think himself an act of God, His mind a thought, his life a breath of God; And let each try, by great thoughts and good deeds, To show the most of Heaven he hath in him.102
Philip SidneyThe ingredients of health and long life, are great temperance, open air, easy labor, and little care.102
Shelby FooteI think making mistakes and discovering them for yourself is of great value, but to have someone else to point out your mistakes is a shortcut of the process.102
Thomas KellerI wanted to learn everything I could about what it takes to be a great chef. It was a turning point for me.102
Tina YothersI had an amazing experience working with great people. I had a great family, a typical family with drama in certain areas, and that's pretty much everywhere in everyone's life.102

Soren KierkegaardThe paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo.106
Neil GaimanGreat, big, serious novels always get awards. If it's a battle between a great, big, serious novel and a funny novel, the funny novel is doomed.106
Alexander PopeThe way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.106
HomerAnd what he greatly thought, he nobly dared. 106
Lewis CarrollWhile the laughter of joy is in full harmony with our deeper life, the laughter of amusement should be kept apart from it. The danger is too great of thus learning to look at solemn things in a spirit of mockery, and to seek in them opportunities for exercising wit.106
Marcus GarveyGod and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.106
Margaret AtwoodThe thing about delirium is you think it's great, but it actually isn't.106
Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr.I find the great thing in this world is not so much where we stand, as in what direction we are moving: To reach the port of heaven, we must sail sometimes with the wind and sometimes against it - but we must sail, and not drift, nor lie at anchor.106
P. J. O'RourkeIf you are young and you drink a great deal it will spoil your health, slow your mind, make you fat - in other words, turn you into an adult.106

Robert H. SchullerWhat great thing would you attempt if you knew you could not fail? 106
Sharon SalzbergSome people have a mistaken idea that all thoughts disappear through meditation and we enter a state of blankness. There certainly are times of great tranquility when concentration is strong and we have few, if any, thoughts. But other times, we can be flooded with memories, plans or random thinking. It's important not to blame yourself.106
Ted CruzOne of biggest lies in politics is the lie that Republicans are the party of big business. Big business does great with big government. Big business is very happy to climb in bed with big government. Republicans are and should be the party of small business and of entrepreneurs.106
Thom YorkeI've never believed that pop music is escapist trash. There's always a darkness in it, even amidst great pop music.106

Jack KerouacI hope it is true that a man can die and yet not only live in others but give them life, and not only life, but that great consciousness of life.107
Alexander Graham BellGreat discoveries and improvements invariably involve the cooperation of many minds. I may be given credit for having blazed the trail, but when I look at the subsequent developments I feel the credit is due to others rather than to myself.107
E. O. WilsonWithout a trace of irony I can say I have been blessed with brilliant enemies. I owe them a great debt, because they redoubled my energies and drove me in new directions.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
Heinrich HeineLike a great poet, Nature knows how to produce the greatest effects with the most limited means.107
Huey NewtonI think what motivates people is not great hate, but great love for other people.107

Arthur EricksonThe great dream merchant Disney was a success because make-believe was what everyone seemed to need in a spiritually empty land.107
Jessica LangeTo work on the actual location I think is great. This thing of going to Canada and pretending you're in New York, it's terrible.107
Charles DickensWhatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.108

Black ElkGrandfather, Great Spirit, once more behold me on earth and lean to hear my feeble voice.108
Charles StanleyMotherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.108
Erich FrommBoth dreams and myths are important communications from ourselves to ourselves. If we do not understand the language in which they are written, we miss a great deal of what we know and tell ourselves in those hours when we are not busy manipulating the outside world.108
MenciusHe who attends to his greater self becomes a great man, and he who attends to his smaller self becomes a small man.108

John LockeIt is of great use to the sailor to know the length of his line, though he cannot with it fathom all the depths of the ocean.109

Jose RizalIt is a useless life that is not consecrated to a great ideal. It is like a stone wasted on the field without becoming a part of any edifice.109
Louisa May AlcottConceit spoils the finest genius. There is not much danger that real talent or goodness will be overlooked long; even if it is, the consciousness of possessing and using it well should satisfy one, and the great charm of all power is modesty.109
Mignon McLaughlinWe all become great explorers during our first few days in a new city, or a new love affair.109
Muhammad Ali JinnahMy message to you all is of hope, courage and confidence. Let us mobilize all our resources in a systematic and organized way and tackle the grave issues that confront us with grim determination and discipline worthy of a great nation.109

Samuel Taylor ColeridgeI have seen great intolerance shown in support of tolerance.109
William E. GladstoneNo man ever became great or good except through many and great mistakes.109
William Ellery ChanningGreat minds are to make others great. Their superiority is to be used, not to break the multitude to intellectual vassalage, not to establish over them a spiritual tyranny, but to rouse them from lethargy, and to aid them to judge for themselves.109
Donald TrumpWe will make America strong again. We will make America proud again. We will make America safe again. And we will make America great again.110
John F. KennedyI look forward to a great future for America - a future in which our country will match its military strength with our moral restraint, its wealth with our wisdom, its power with our purpose.110
Alan WattsThe reason we have poverty is that we have no imagination. There are a great many people accumulating what they think is vast wealth, but it's only money... they don't know how to enjoy it, because they have no imagination.110
Blaise PascalSmall minds are concerned with the extraordinary, great minds with the ordinary. 110
Charlie ChaplinMan as an individual is a genius. But men in the mass form the headless monster, a great, brutish idiot that goes where prodded.110
Douglas MacArthurI am concerned for the security of our great Nation; not so much because of any threat from without, but because of the insidious forces working from within.110
Malala YousafzaiOnce I had asked God for one or two extra inches in height, but instead, he made me as tall as the sky, so high that I could not measure myself... By giving me this height to reach people, he has also given me great responsibilities.110
Richard DawkinsFaith is the great cop-out, the great excuse to evade the need to think and evaluate evidence. Faith is belief in spite of, even perhaps because of, the lack of evidence.110
Vince LombardiI firmly believe that any man's finest hour, the greatest fulfillment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause and lies exhausted on the field of battle - victorious.110

Jonathan SwiftNothing is so great an example of bad manners as flattery. If you flatter all the company, you please none; If you flatter only one or two, you offend the rest.110
Og MandinoIt is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality.110
Zig ZiglarYou don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great. 110
B. R. AmbedkarA great man is different from an eminent one in that he is ready to be the servant of the society.110
Bhumibol AdulyadejIt could be argued that, in Thailand, many foreigners have come and gone, and the number of people who are considered to be Thai have traveled abroad in a great number.110
Black ElkYou remember that my great vision came to me when I was only nine years old, and you have seen that I was not much good for anything until after I had performed the horse dance near the mouth of the Tongue River during my eighteenth summer.110
Charles Caleb ColtonIn life we shall find many men that are great, and some that are good, but very few men that are both great and good.110
Harriet Beecher StoweTo be really great in little things, to be truly noble and heroic in the insipid details of everyday life, is a virtue so rare as to be worthy of canonization.110
John Kenneth GalbraithAll of the great leaders have had one characteristic in common: it was the willingness to confront unequivocally the major anxiety of their people in their time. This, and not much else, is the essence of leadership.110

Louisa May AlcottLove is a great beautifier. 110

Leonard CohenMy two great heroes are W. B. Yeats and Federico García Lorca.111
Nikola TeslaThere is no conflict between the ideal of religion and the ideal of science, but science is opposed to theological dogmas because science is founded on fact. To me, the universe is simply a great machine which never came into being and never will end. The human being is no exception to the natural order. Man, like the universe, is a machine.111

John D. RockefellerDon't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great. 111
Marcus Tullius CiceroSilence is one of the great arts of conversation.111

Andre GideArt begins with resistance - at the point where resistance is overcome. No human masterpiece has ever been created without great labor.113
Benito MussoliniIt is humiliating to remain with our hands folded while others write history. It matters little who wins. To make a people great it is necessary to send them to battle even if you have to kick them in the pants. That is what I shall do.113
