Implementation of promises is as important as making them.
You have to understand, now, I'm a momma's boy. I'm from the south. My way of being raised is totally different than the big city life. I truly was a country boy.
I had true rivalries. Not only did I want to beat my opponent, but I didn't want to let him up, either. I had a rivalry with Mac, Lendl, Borg. Everybody knew there was tension between us, on court and off. That's what's really ingrained in my mind: 'This is real. This isn't a soft rivalry.' There were no hugs and kisses.
You find out in life that people really like you funny. So what do you give 'em? Humor. And then if you show them the other side, they don't like you as much. I find, too, that I can hide behind the idiot's mask being funny, and you never see the sorrow or the pain.
People often say that 'beauty is in the eye of the beholder,' and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
People don't seem to understand that it's a damn war out there.
Rather than viewing a brief relapse back to inactivity as a failure, treat it as a challenge and try to get back on track as soon as possible.
I think my greatest victory was every time I walked out there, I gave it everything I had. I left everything out there. That's what I'm most proud of. I can't go win Wimbledon anymore, so if what I've done in the past is not good enough, let it go. Because I'm certainly not sitting around thinking about it.
The golden period for all the castes, including BCs, was when Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy was at the helm. An education revolution was witnessed during that period, when many students had become engineers and doctors.
New Yorkers love it when you spill your guts out there. Spill your guts at Wimbledon and they make you stop and clean it up.
Motherhood is... difficult and... rewarding.
There are so many beautiful things that are a part of the world, and I've always looked at life that way; I've always tried to put on a smile and a brave front, not just for my kids but in my own life and all the difficulties that I've gone through.
I have great genes. Thank you to my mom and dad for that one.
Nothing is as irritating as the fellow who chats pleasantly while he's overcharging you.
The world gets better every day - then worse again in the evening.
Peace has its victories no less than war, but it doesn't have as many monuments to unveil.
If capital and labor ever do get together it's good night for the rest of us.
Caste is a delicate issue. It's ubiquitous, and we are full of it. We should start to change things from individual level. But when you go to people and deny caste, they may not react favourably. I think if a decisive percentage of people, especially elites, start marrying out of their caste, we may see a casteless India in a generation's time.
I'm Indian. I care for our Motherland.
The revolution is not an apple that falls when it is ripe. You have to make it fall!
History and social sciences were my interests. I was always interested in knowing how societies get organized, why there is rich and poor divide, why there are classes. I was never apolitical. I think we are all political in a way. Politics decides our day-to-day life.
I never wanted to become an actor. I always wanted to be a farmer and dreamt of owning half an acre of agriculture land.
You will not f*ck with my children's future. You will not destroy the freedoms my grandfather fought two world wars to defend.
Hugh Grant - August 2019, about Boris Johnson
I have no neighbours other than animals and Joshua Trees.
When I see a dolphin, I know it's just as smart as I am.
I don't look like a desert person because I stay indoors most of the day and fool around at night. That's what the desert animals do - they don't have a tan either.
You can tell by the kindness of a dog how a human should be.
Music is spiritual. The music business is not.
I don't think nostalgia has to be negative.
I tend to be a bit of a dreamer.
The stars are matter, we're matter, but it doesn't matter.
Large audiences did not suit my low-key approach.
There is no such thing as getting rid of nervousness.
Life is always full of challenges. I believe you're never happy unless you're consistently making challenges for yourself.
The secret of my success is my hairspray.
I'm younger than I once was. Internally. Less self-conscious. Less insecure.
I have made plenty of mistakes. The key to life is to learn from them. I have been a little too introspective, but I think that stemmed from insecurity or shyness. I took a long time to grow up.
In order to win you must be prepared to lose sometime. And leave one or two cards showing.
It is good medicine to go to a concert hall and forget the harshness of what's going on. It can be a very positive thing.
Every person with a disability is an individual.
I always find that there is a real communication between voice and violin.
Time is our ultimate scarcity. Isaac Newton can give us more electricity, but he can't give us more than 24 hours of the day of time. And so we're constantly having to sacrifice alternate activities to get the one that pleases us most.
To a person of analytical ability, perceptive enough to realise that mathematical equipment was a powerful sword in economics, the world of economics was his or her oyster in 1935. The terrain was strewn with beautiful theorems begging to be picked up and arranged in unified order.
Sheer brilliance needs to be expressed properly.
It's depressing to think what it would mean to be impaired down the neck.
