The way people come into your life when you need them, it’s wonderful and it happens in so many ways. It’s like having an angel. Somebody comes along and helps you get right.
Government’s first duty is to protect the people, not run their lives.
Optimistic people play a disproportionate role in shaping our lives. Their decisions make a difference; they are inventors, entrepreneurs, political and military leaders – not average people. They got to where they are by seeking challenges and taking risks.
Be true to yourself and surround yourself with positive, supportive people.
Never trust anyone completely but God. Love people, but put your full trust only in God.

If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done.
People may hear your words, but they feel your attitude.
I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.
No leader, however strong, can succeed at anything of national importance or significance unless he has the support and cooperation of the people he is tasked to lead and sworn to serve.
When the government violates the people’s rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties.
For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?
The most beautiful people are those who are truly themselves, and that’s what I want to show my fans.
Whenever I have a bad day I just think of these people.
A lot of people run a race to see who is fastest. I run to see who has the most guts, who can punish himself into exhausting pace, and then at the end, punish himself even more.
Nature doesn’t need people – people need nature; nature would survive the extinction of the human being and go on just fine, but human culture, human beings, cannot survive without nature.
The Edge… there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
Bitcoin is like anything else: it’s worth what people are willing to pay for it.

The truth is that killing innocent people is always wrong – and no argument or excuse, no matter how deeply believed, can ever make it right. No religion on earth condones the killing of innocent people; no faith tradition tolerates the random killing of our brothers and sisters on this earth.
The only people for me are the mad ones: the ones who are mad to live, mad to talk, mad to be saved, desirous of everything at the same time, the ones who… burn, burn, burn like fabulous yellow Roman candles.

The most beautiful people we have known are those who have known defeat, known suffering, known struggle, known loss, and have found their way out of those depths.
NBC had a show called ‘The Toughest Bouncer in America’ that I did. But I told them I didn’t like that term, ‘bouncer.’ To me, it’s offensive. A bouncer likes to get physical, likes to put his hands on people.
I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
When you’re surrounded by people who share a passionate commitment around a common purpose, anything is possible.
I collect memories. I look for opportunities to try new things, go to new places, and meet new people all the time.
Some people die at 25 and aren’t buried until 75.

When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, ‘no, I went to films.’
In the military, they give medals for people who are willing to sacrifice themselves so that others may survive. In business, we give bonuses to people who sacrifice others.
