Think what a better world it would be if we all, the whole world, had cookies and milk about three o'clock every afternoon and then lay down on our blankets for a nap.
This is a serious warning cry: Surrender without reservation to the Lord who has called us. This is required of us so that the face of the earth may be renewed.
There is no obstacle in the path of young people who are poor or members of minority groups that hard work and preparation cannot cure.
As for what concerns our relations with our fellow men, the anguish in our neighbor's soul must break all precept. All that we do is a means to an end, but love is an end in itself, because God is love.
The limitless loving devotion to God, and the gift God makes of Himself to you, are the highest elevation of which the heart is capable; it is the highest degree of prayer. The souls that have reached this point are truly the heart of the Church.
The entire educational process must be carried out with love, which is perceptible in every disciplinary measure and which does not instill any fear. And the most effective educational method is not the word of instruction but the living example without which all words remain useless.
Make a careful list of all things done to you that you abhorred. Don't do them to others, ever.
The prudent course is to make an investment in learning, testing and understanding, determine how the new concepts compare to how you now operate and thoughtfully determine how they apply to what you want to achieve in the future.
I believe people are in our lives for a reason. We're here to learn from each other.
Just remember, you can do anything you set your mind to, but it takes action, perseverance, and facing your fears.
I hope everyone that is reading this is having a really good day. And if you are not, just know that in every new minute that passes you have an opportunity to change that.
Success follows those adept at preserving the substance of the past by clothing it in the forms of the future.
Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia.
Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.
My whole belief system is that our paths are drawn for us. I believe in reincarnation. I believe we're here to learn and grow. We choose how we come into this life based on what it is we have to learn. Some people have harder lessons than others.
Take everything you like seriously, except yourselves.
This was on my vision board. To run out there and be hitting game winners, getting the fans riled up. When they're stomping on the floor yelling "New York Knicks" - that's a great feeling.
It's too bad that wine can't be hugged.
There are no shortcuts to true excellence.
As our knees and hips and eyesight deteriorate, we become more dependable, less impulsive, kinder, and less moody. Psychologists call this the maturity principle. My own life experience fits this principle to a T.
Gritty people train at the edge of their comfort zone. They zero in on one narrow aspect of their performance and set a stretch goal to improve it.
Grittier students are more likely to earn their diplomas; grittier teachers are more effective in the classroom. Grittier soldiers are more likely to complete their training, and grittier salespeople are more likely to keep their jobs. The more challenging the domain, the more grit seems to matter.
Grit is living life like it's a marathon, not a sprint.
When you're out of sight for as long as I was, there's a funny feeling of betrayal that comes over people when they see you again.
It appeared as if I had invited the audience into the water with me, and it conveyed the sensation that being in there was absolutely delicious.
Life magazine ran a page featuring me and three other girls that was clearly the precursor of Sports Illustrated swimsuit issues.
I was the only swimmer in movies. Tarzan was long gone, and he couldn't have done them anyway; he could never have gotten into my bathing suit.
Somehow I kept my head above water. I relied on the discipline, character, and strength that I had started to develop as that little girl in her first swimming pool.
Sometimes it's the detours which turn out to be the fruitful ideas.
If the computer-guided robots turn out to be our superiors in every respect, then will they not find that they can run the world better without the need of us at all? Humanity itself will then have become obsolete.
People think of these eureka moments and my feeling is that they tend to be little things, a little realisation and then a little realisation built on that.
The two basic items necessary to sustain life are sunshine and coconut milk.
I believe there is something going on in a conscious being, which includes many animals, as well as ourselves, that is not a computational activity. And to be conscious at all is not a quality that a computer as such will ever possess - no matter how complicated, no matter how well it plays chess or any of these things.
So what I'm saying is why don't we think about changing Schrodinger's equation at some level when masses become too big at the level that you might have to worry about Einstein's general relativity.
Blame is for God and small children.
There's a rebirth that goes on with us continuously as human beings. I don't understand, personally, how you can be bored. I can understand how you can be depressed, but I just don't understand boredom.
I think there's always going to be some kind of bigotry or some kind of racism. There has to be, because people can't feel that they have any hero qualities unless there's someone beneath them.
I envy people who can just look at a sunset. I wonder how you can shoot it. There is nothing more grotesque to me than a vacation.
I always thought records were there to be broken.
I never learned anything from a match that I won.
You swing your best when you have the fewest things to think about.
The secret of golf is to turn three shots into two.
Golf is a game that is played on a five-inch course – the distance between your ears.
Andrew Neil: "How would you handle paragraph 5(c)?"
Boris Johnson: "I would confide entirely in paragraph 5(b)."
Andrew Neil: "And how would you get round what's in 5(c)?"
Boris Johnson: "I would confide entirely in paragraph 5(b) which is enough for our purposes."
Andrew Neil: "Do you know what's in 5(c)?"
Boris Johnson: "No."

The Vatican takes your breath away.
We are just fans of music, we are not fans of a specific kind of music. We just happen to be a rock band. Until we explain ourselves, sometimes people don't understand why we limit ourselves to just being a rock band. It's because that is what we like doing.
Even Crazy Horses is a good song, by the Osmonds. I've known many bands who have covered that. It's just a great song. I bought it in a brown, paper bag because I didn't want anyone to know I had it.
When we try to write a pop song, we go for standard pop arrangements, even to the point where we will go to the key change at the end, which is really cheesy.
I love the fact we're still on the road. I was born to be a factory worker really, so for me the chance to get on stage at Wembley 30 years after we started is amazing.
