To get rich is glorious.

Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead - but aim to do something big.

Young leading cadres have risen up by helicopter. They should really rise step by step.

When our thousands of Chinese students abroad return home, you will see how China will transform itself.

The minority yields to the majority!

Poverty is not socialism. To be rich is glorious.

To get rich is glorious.

Reform is China's second revolution.

The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.

Seek truth from facts.

Let some people get rich first.

It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, so long as it catches mice.

Keep a cool head and maintain a low profile. Never take the lead but aim to do something big.

Black cat or white cat: If it can catch mice, it's a good cat.

'Point Omega' starts in an art gallery, where an unnamed man is watching, day after day, a 24-hour version of 'Psycho,' an installation that was created by the Scottish artist, Douglas Gordon. In it, the events and the minutiae of Hitchcock's film are painfully slowly reproduced; the watcher is obsessed with the detail revealed.

I am a basketball junkie, and as a product of the great basketball state of Kansas, I have watched many a ball game between the University of Kansas Jayhawks and the Tar Heels.

I have been lucky enough to work with the world's best designers and top stylists - who have been my mentors.

Only recently, during the nineteenth century, and then only in Europe, do we meet forms of the state which have been created by a deliberate national feeling.

I loved school, maybe too much, really. I was summa cum laude in high school. I was driven that way.

If you are not moving closer to what you want, you probably aren't doing enough asking. And you're probably not asking the single most important question that can help you achieve a higher level of success and personal fulfillment: How am I doing?

Peace is not made at the council table or by treaties, but in the hearts of men.

I've always been looking for other people's approval.

Education brings about opportunity, and in turn inspiration.

My instinct is to absolutely recoil when talking about writing in a mechanistic way. Nothing could be dumber than writing a film or TV script based on prescriptions, on other peoples' ideas of what character should be.

We shouldn't be intimidated by someone else's idea of perfection if it will prevent us from taking steps we actively want to take.

I've been around long enough now that people who don't get into the outrageousness, the over-the-top stuff, they know not to buy my books anymore.

When Dickens arrives in the United States in November of 1867, he's already in questionable health. So by the end of the trip, he was really in failing condition, and really, he would never recover completely after this point, and you could sort of draw a straight line to his ultimate decline and death.

If someone is going to profit from your work, they need to earn it.

Nationalism of one kind or another was the cause of most of the genocide of the twentieth century. Flags are bits of colored cloth that governments use first to shrink wrap peoples minds and then as ceremonial shrouds to bury the dead.

A national evil requires a national remedy; let not this any longer be delayed: let your minds expand, free from every narrow principle, and let the public good become the sole object of your united Christian efforts.

Only children are weird. The only children I know, including myself, are either superweird or very talented and special or a mix of the two. I think there was always a certain independence and loneliness - I had a lot of imaginary friends as a kid.

To return after long years of painful absence to some place which has been the scene of our former joys, and whence the force of circumstance, and not choice, has driven us, is oppressive to the heart.

I always used to love couture because it was more theatrical than the runways. The runways always felt more like part of the machine.

All publicity is good publicity

I have never seen such extreme partisanship, such bitter partisanship, and such forgetfulness of the fate of our fathers and of the Constitution.

In everything I do, I like to set the idea for girls that they can do anything. I was really moved by Hillary Clinton's speech when she lost the election - she didn't want young girls to feel like it wasn't possible and wanted them to know a female president will eventually happen. That's important.

The pop world has really opened its doors.

The state of New Jersey is really two places - terrible cities and wonderful suburbs. I live in the suburbs, the final battleground of the American dream, where people get married and have kids and try to scratch out a happy life for themselves. It's very romantic in that way, but a bit naive. I like to play with that in my work.
