Our votes must go together with our guns. After all, any vote we shall have, shall have been the product of the gun. The gun which produces the vote should remain its security officer – its guarantor. The people’s votes and the people’s guns are always inseparable twins.
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough – that we should try again.
Sharks are beautiful animals, and if you’re lucky enough to see lots of them, that means that you’re in a healthy ocean. You should be afraid if you are in the ocean and don’t see sharks.
We should remember that one man is much the same as another, and that he is best who is trained in the severest school.
Science is global. Einstein’s equation, E=mc2, has to reach everywhere. Science is a beautiful gift to humanity, we should not distort it. Science does not differentiate between multiple races.

I love meeting new people; I think everyone has a story to tell. We should all listen sometimes.
A person should not be too honest. Straight trees are cut first and honest people are screwed first.
The press should be not only a collective propagandist and a collective agitator, but also a collective organizer of the masses.
A beautiful woman should break her mirror early.
I do not know myself, and God forbid that I should.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Meetings should have as few people as possible, but all the right people.
Solemnity is proper in church, but things that are proper in church are not necessarily proper outside, and vice versa. For example, I can say a prayer while washing my teeth, but that does not mean I should wash my teeth in church.
At sunrise everything is luminous but not clear. It is those we live with and love and should know who elude us. You can love completely without complete understanding.
The state should, I think, be called ‘anesthesia.’ This signifies insensibility.
You should do what other people do, unless you have a very good reason not to.
The ultimate goal of the architect…is to create a paradise. Every house, every product of architecture… should be a fruit of our endeavour to build an earthly paradise for people.
I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.
As we enjoy great advantages from the inventions of others, we should be glad of an opportunity to serve others by any invention of ours, and this we should do freely and generously.
Sorrow for sin is indeed necessary, but it should not be an endless preoccupation. You must dwell also on the glad remembrance of God’s loving-kindness; otherwise, sadness will harden the heart and lead it more deeply into despair.
I have a personal philosophy in life: If somebody else can do something that I’m doing, they should do it. And what I want to do is find things that would represent a unique contribution to the world – the contribution that only I, and my portfolio of talents, can make happen. Those are my priorities in life.
Every production of an artist should be the expression of an adventure of his soul.
Sometimes a loss is the best thing that can happen. It teaches you what you should have done next time.
Whatever your life’s work is, do it well. A man should do his job so well that the living, the dead, and the unborn could do it no better.
The number of guests at dinner should not be less than the number of the Graces nor exceed that of the Muses, i.e., it should begin with three and stop at nine.
He who aspires to paradise should learn to deal with people with kindness.
When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band – or at least in a Pixies cover band.
Stranger, if you passing meet me and desire to speak to me, why should you not speak to me? And why should I not speak to you?
If I were to say, ‘God, why me?’ about the bad things, then I should have said, ‘God, why me?’ about the good things that happened in my life.
Women should be obscene and not heard.
Botox should be banned for actors, as steroids are for sportsmen. Acting is all about expression; why would you want to iron out a frown?
You should run your life not by the calendar but how you feel, and what you’re interests are and ambitions.
Judges rule on the basis of law, not public opinion, and they should be totally indifferent to pressures of the times.
I saw six men kicking and punching the mother-in-law. My neighbour said ‘Are you going to help?’ I said ‘No, six should be enough.’
Because advertising and marketing is an art, the solution to each new problem or challenge should begin with a blank canvas and an open mind, not with the nervous borrowings of other people’s mediocrities. That’s precisely what ‘trends’ are – a search for something ‘safe’ – and why a reliance on them leads to oblivion.
As far as I’m concerned, it’s a damned shame that a field as potentially dynamic and vital as journalism should be overrun with dullards, bums, and hacks, hag-ridden with myopia, apathy, and complacence, and generally stuck in a bog of stagnant mediocrity.
If we had no faults of our own, we should not take so much pleasure in noticing those in others.
Every family should have the right to spend their money, after tax, as they wish, and not as the government dictates. Let us extend choice, extend the will to choose and the chance to choose.
Experience should be a plus as long as it doesn’t become complacency. If you say, ‘We’re not going to change; we didn’t do it that way before,’ then you’ve become too old.
Trust should be the basis for all our moral training.
I want to be able to look back and say, ‘I’ve done everything I can, and I was successful.’ I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I’d like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.
Life is short, and we should respect every moment of it.
Politics is a noble activity. We should revalue it, practise it with vocation and a dedication that requires testimony, martyrdom, that is to die for the common good.

We learned that economic growth and environmental protection can and should go hand in hand.
If a chairman sacks the manager he initially appointed, he should go as well.
No one has yet realized the wealth of sympathy, the kindness and generosity hidden in the soul of a child. The effort of every true education should be to unlock that treasure.
My parents were both born in Virginia, of undistinguished families – second families, perhaps I should say.
Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
This stardust won’t settle, because none of us should settle.
Your dresses should be tight enough to show you’re a woman and loose enough to show you’re a lady.
The scars of others should teach us caution.
No decisions should ever be made without asking the question, is this for the common good?
Employee loyalty begins with employer loyalty. Your employees should know that if they do the job they were hired to do with a reasonable amount of competence and efficiency, you will support them.

In a time of domestic crisis, men of goodwill and generosity should be able to unite regardless of party or politics.

It was that which gave promise that in due time the weights should be lifted from the shoulders of all men, and that all should have an equal chance. This is the sentiment embodied in that Declaration of Independence.
‘Footloose’ is a fun movie. If you do it right, people should leave wanting to dance.
If the Confederacy fails, there should be written on its tombstone: Died of a Theory.
Popularity should be no scale for the election of politicians. If it would depend on popularity, Donald Duck and The Muppets would take seats in senate.
When people leave the theatre, they should remember a line, a character, a sequence or emotion. With entertainment, I want to give meaningful cinema.
