In our works at Bethlehem and San Francisco, and all over the United States, I adopted this system: I pay the managers practically no salary. I make them partners in the business, only I don't let them share in the efforts of any other man.
The whole Christmas story was probably a later addition to the gospel narratives, presented only by the authors of Matthew and Luke. Mark and John seem never to have heard of the manger in Bethlehem, the Massacre of the Innocents, the hovering star, the three wise men, and so forth.
Only trust thyself, and another shall not betray thee.
We have to distrust each other. It is our only defense against betrayal.
Betrayal is the only truth that sticks.
Only one man ever betrayed my confidence, and that only in a minor matter.
Your representative owes you, not his industry only, but his judgment; and he betrays instead of serving you if he sacrifices it to your opinion.
He who has loved and who betrays love does harm not only to the image of the past, but to the past itself.
To all my political opponents, all and sundry, not only the presidential bets, I would like to offer my hand to friendship.
Not so long ago, companies that borrowed lots of money were considered risky, appropriate only for daredevil stock pickers. Those with lots of cash on hand and few outstanding debts might be dull stocks, but they were at least safe bets for bondholders.
Being in 'Coronation Street' is only going to make me a better actor.
I'm not head-strong, and I'm not egotistical. I understand certain things better now. I won't be trying to be play everyday. There's only one Cal Ripken, one Lou Gehrig and one Joe DiMaggio. What is good for them isn't necessarily good for Eric Davis.
If we now find ourselves looking down on the cheap and convenient, it is only because we now have better things which are affordable.
The glorification of sisters, mothers as the selfless Indian women who will do 'agni pariksha' and the one who sees her own betterment only in the betterment of their husbands and fathers, that has to stop. It's very regressive.
The only difference between the saint and the sinner is that every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future.
The main difference between a cat and a lie is that a cat only has nine lives.
Why does man kill? He kills for food. And not only food: frequently there must be a beverage.
Every film is faced with the enemy of time. Only so much story can fit into the 90-150 minutes of time that moviegoers are willing to stay in their seats. Naturally, compression is necessary. So are the exclusion and amalgamation of characters so that the viewer does not become bewildered.
The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.
The bicycle kick is not easy to do. I scored 1,283 goals, and only two or three were bicycle kicks.
