Never give an order that can't be obeyed.
A lot of people believe that if everybody just did what they were told - obeyed - everything would be fine. But that's not what life is all about. That's not real. It's never going to happen.
People can just put their cash away and continue to make money and never give back because they just do not care, but I immediately felt obligated to use my influence for good things.
If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.
There never was a woman who did not prefer an oblique compliment to a straight truth - if the latter were unflattering.
There never was a democracy yet where the people didn't vote themselves into oblivion.
In my career I have never felt that my being a woman was an obstacle or an advantage. I guess I've been oblivious.
I never thought being obnoxious would get me where I am today.
I'd never seen Rigondeaux's face without it being obscured by headgear or a photograph of Fidel he was holding up after winning a tournament. Finally I saw him, only to recognize the saddest face I'd ever seen in Cuba.
I never wanted to do observational humor because I never wanted to tell people what they were seeing.
One secret of leadership is that the mind of a leader never turns off. Leaders even when they are sightseers or spectators, are active; not passive observers.
I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn't. And that's a tough place to be because you're never satisfied.
Obsolescence never meant the end of anything, it's just the beginning.
A lot of people give up just before they're about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.
It will always be considered a praiseworthy undertaking to urge the most obstinate and incredulous to abide by the principles that impel men to live in society. There are, therefore, three distinct classes of vice and virtue: the religious, the natural, and the political. These three classes should never be in contradiction with one another.
We've never been a party to obstruct for obstruction sake.
We can never obtain peace in the outer world until we make peace with ourselves.
We are long before we are convinced that happiness is never to be found, and each believes it possessed by others, to keep alive the hope of obtaining it for himself.
May we so love as never to have occasion to repent of our love!
Except for the occasional heart attack, I never felt better.
