I can’t put this down. I’m reading it in Spanish but I am still having English lessons. It is a motivational book about basketball legend Michael Jordan. His determination was inspiring. It helps me focus and drives me on.
My only fault is that I don’t realize how great I really am.
Alas, I am dying beyond my means.
I admit, I don’t look like the athlete of the day’s supposed to look. My belly’s just a little big, my heinie’s just a little big, but, brother, I am bad, and they know I’m bad.
I am not satisfied in making money for myself. I endeavor to provide employment for hundreds of the women of my race.
When you look at me, when you think of me, I am in paradise.
Everything happening around me is very random. I am enjoying the phase, as the journey is far more enjoyable than the destination.
The less I have, the freer I am to do whatever I want to do.
At home I am a nice guy: but I don’t want the world to know. Humble people, I’ve found, don’t get very far.
I’m not an old, experienced hand at politics. But I am now seasoned enough to have learned that the hardest thing about any political campaign is how to win without proving that you are unworthy of winning.
To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying ‘This is who I am’.
I had no portrait, now, but am small, like the wren; and my hair is bold, like the chestnut bur; and my eyes, like the sherry in the glass, that the guest leaves.
What I am looking for is a blessing not in disguise.
We respect our elders. There is wisdom that comes from experience, and I am not going to stop learning from wise counsel.
There are people out there who hate me and who say I’m arrogant, vain, and whatever. That’s all part of my success. I am made to be the best.
I am, always have been, and always will be proud of my Nigerian heritage.
I have no regrets. I don’t believe in looking back. What I am proudest of? Working really hard… and achieving as much as I could.
I’m very proud to be black, but black is not all I am. That’s my cultural historical background, my genetic makeup, but it’s not all of who I am nor is it the basis from which I answer every question.
I am extraordinarily patient, provided I get my own way in the end.
I always want to have fun and be silly and be childish. I’m very childish. I am at my happiest when I am a child and I am just playing.
To me – old age is always ten years older than I am.
You philosophers are lucky men. You write on paper and paper is patient. Unfortunate Empress that I am, I write on the susceptible skins of living beings.
I am a man of fixed and unbending principles, the first of which is to be flexible at all times.
There is only one difference between a madman and me. The madman thinks he is sane. I know I am mad.
I am excited to join the Workday Board at an exciting time in the company’s growth and look forward to leveraging my past experience as a technologist and entrepreneur to provide advice as they continue to look at new areas of growth.
I think and think for months and years. Ninety-nine times, the conclusion is false. The hundredth time I am right.
My brother is one of my true heroes. Steady and sober where I am impulsive and emotional.
I am very proud of my mom and consider her the most courageous woman I know. With perseverance, sacrifice and hard work, she raised a family of Olympic athletes and gave us the tools and the spirit to succeed. That is something that my brothers and I will always be thankful for.
I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.
I know why I am here and my only real focused goal is to live each day to the fullest and to try and honor God and be an encouragement to others. What the future holds is firmly in God’s hands, and I am very happy about that!
The years like great black oxen tread the world, and God, the herdsman goads them on behind, and I am broken by their passing feet.
I am not someone who believes we should build a fence around our country but I do believe there ought to be some fairness with respect to the rules of this globalization.
I am overwhelmed with gratitude, and my heart is full. ‘American Sniper’ has broken records, which follows such an honest path of Chris’s life.
I don’t do drugs. I am drugs.
I am just one human being.
Although personally I am quite content with existing explosives, I feel we must not stand in the path of improvement.
I need your help. I am injured, near death, and too weak to hike out of here. I am all alone. This is no joke. In the name of God, please remain to save me. I am out collecting berries close by and shall return this evening. Thank you, Chris McCandless.
I don’t mind being criticised, because I am not that easy to knock down, and no-one can destroy me. But I am bothered by the stupid people who call me dirty, brainless, and an idiot. You don’t say words like these to someone who you know nothing about.
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
Henceforth I ask not good fortune. I myself am good fortune.
I’ve reached a point in life where it’s no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that’s good. If they don’t, that’s too bad.
People can judge me for what I’ve done. And I think when somebody’s out in the public eye, that’s what they do. So I’m fully comfortable with who I am, what I stand for, and what I’ve always stood for.
I am a pure-blooded Polish nobleman without a single drop of bad blood – certainly not German blood.
I am who I am, and I can’t change that. It’s not something I’ve labored over.
My biggest weakness is my sensitivity. I am too sensitive a person.
I do not believe in people owning guns. Guns should be owned only by the police and military. I am going to do everything I can to disarm this state.
I am a part of all that I have met.
I have made a lot of mistakes, but I am proud of them all.
As pessimistic as I am about the nature of human beings and our capacity for atrocity and malevolence and betrayal and laziness and inertia, and all those things, I think we can transcend all that and set things straight.
Winners, I am convinced, imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is, I believe, no other way to live.
I don’t want to be just known for the way I dress. I want to be known for how I play, how I treat people, and how I am as a role model. I don’t just want to be, ‘He dresses cool’ or ‘He dresses crazy.’ You’re going to have lovers and haters. I want my golf game to be the main thing.
I accept I am not everyone’s cup of tea, but judge me over a period of time.
I am a big fan of white sheets, hotel bedding and white towels!
I am a woman, and I am a Latina. Those are the things that make my writing distinctive. Those are the things that give my writing power.
I am lucky to do what I do and enjoy life.
It’s not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It’s not easy if those people aren’t as perfectionistic as I am.
I am not handsome or sexy. Of course, it’s not like I am hopeless.
This is me, a sinner on whom the Lord has turned his gaze. And this is what I said when they asked me if I would accept my election as pontiff. I am a sinner, but I trust in the infinite mercy and patience of our Lord Jesus Christ, and I accept in a spirit of penance.
I don’t think people change. I think they definitely mature. But I think the essence of what I am today is the same as when I was five years old. It’s just maturity. I’ve become a healthier, fuller expression of that essence.
I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.
I am a Marxist Leninist and I will be one until the last day of my life.
I hate writing about personal stuff. I don’t have a Facebook page. I don’t use my Twitter account. I am familiar with both, but I don’t use them.
One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.
My word will never be as strong as God’s word. All I am is just a vessel, doing His work.
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence I can reach for; perfection is God’s business.
I’ve seen a look in dogs’ eyes, a quickly vanishing look of amazed contempt, and I am convinced that basically dogs think humans are nuts.
I’ve always loved baking – it’s a huge part of who I am and what I do.
They say a midget standing on a giant’s shoulders can see much further than the giant. So I got the whole rap world on my shoulders, they trying to see further than I am.
People think because I can make them laugh on the stage, I’ll be able to make them laugh in person. That isn’t the case at all. I am essentially a rather quiet, dull person who just happens to be a performer.
I am only one, but I am one. I cannot do everything, but I can do something. And I will not let what I cannot do interfere with what I can do.
