Reactions to the White Paper 1939

I think maybe ten years from now, I'm hopefully going to be, in like, Tahiti or something. Kicking back like in my huge mansion, if everything goes right, it's all up to me.

Teaching is a truly noble profession. It's sad the amount of responsibility that teachers have today. They're not only teaching kids: they're raising kids, policing kids - and they don't make a lot of money.

Nothing is as simple as we hope it will be.

I happily claim expertise in no single aspect of climbing, which is what has kept the passion burning hot all these years.

Rivers don't drink their own waters; trees don't eat their own fruits. The salt seasons the soup in order to have its purpose fulfilled. Live for others!

Nothing has the power to radically change a life more than an attitude adjustment.

I think fathers, mothers, grandfathers, grandmothers - we should look at what young people are saying to us.

Any team can win.

Mankind can be very magnanimous, given the chance.

As I continue to believe that innovation and entrepreneurship are the key drivers to our economic future, it's frustrating to hear such little cogent discussion around it.

No one understands my accent. I'm constantly going to auditions and being told they don't like how I talk. You have to live with criticism, and I don't take it personally.

The path to your success is not as fixed and inflexible as you think.

There are still times when I am walking up, and I look at the Capitol, and I think, 'Oh my goodness.' Right now, I am kind of scared to go onto the floor and speak. Once I get used to it, though, they probably won't be able to keep me off there.

Throughout the Old Testament, God warns his chosen people about the perils of assimilation, shiksappeal and false gods.

I don't think the sport is any more dangerous than it's ever been.

My childhood ambition was to be an Olympic swimmer like my aunt, but that died a quick death when I discovered other sports. I swam very competitively till I was 15, then I swam for fun until I was 18. But athletics remain a very big part of my life.

I do not believe you can work with animals - certainly you cannot train them - without deciding that if humans have souls, dogs do, too.

There were IBM logos designed for the film, and there were IBM design consultants working with Kubrick on the layout of the controls and computer screens.

I like to remember phone numbers because it keeps your brain active. If you don't use it, you lose it.

Cricket fans all over the world probably have more in common with each other than with their fellow citizens.

There's a tremendous intellectual fervor among independent filmmakers, and that has to be cultivated.

I.B.M. was my college education, effectively. They were very good at teaching you management.

'Precious' is so not P.C. What I learned from doing the film is that even though I am black, I'm prejudiced. I'm prejudiced against people who are darker than me.

We need to stop thinking about infrastructure as an economic stimulant and start thinking about it as a strategy. Economic stimulants produce Bridges to Nowhere. Strategic investment in infrastructure produces a foundation for long-term growth.
