Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves are its only safe depositories.
At the moment we have a ruling class that has one law and the people the other.
I feel like there is always a rumor that I'm dating someone that I never met before. People have their judgments and ideas of who I am, and they know nothing.
It seems there's always another rumor about my life; some people are simply talked about more than others.
I joined the PBA way before I should have because I heard a rumor they were going to limit the number of people who could get in.
I'm happy that people think of me as the greatest tap-dancer that ever lived. But it's just a rumor. Because the greatest dancer that ever lived knows everything, and I don't. I'm still learning. I still have a lot of work to do.
When people ask how I came up with the concept for my second novel, 'The Immortalists' - four siblings visit a fortune teller who is rumored to be able to tell anyone the date that they will die - I always wish I had a better answer.
It's been rumored for almost a year that Tormund was going out and stuff like that. But that's 'Game of Thrones.' The people you think are going to die don't die. Then people will die in a moment when you did not expect them to die.
Ring Kuot, a 15-year-old Sudanese boy, was rumored to be eight feet three. And until Leonid's emergence at eight feet four inches last spring, people generally assumed that Radhouane Charbib of Tunisia, at seven feet nine, was the tallest documented man in the world.
This rumour that the BJP is behind me has been going on for a while, but the truth is the only person behind me is God - and, of course, the people of Tamil Nadu.
Because people don't see me around a lot, I'm the source of all sorts of rumour.
People are telling me I might be going back to MotoGP, but a rumour is a rumour.
It's up to people like us, all of us, to address and talk about things like runaway global warming and how we can use things like remote viewing to save our planet.
The people of Illinois sent me to Springfield to end the era of unbalanced budgets and runaway debt.
I wish I had more guts when I was younger because then I would've said things to people's faces instead of just running away all the time.
We're married. We are one now. There's no running away. We have to deal with things together and figure them out, and that's the greatest gift. I'm in it. People ask me, 'How do you maintain a relationship?' I don't know, but all I do know is that I chose Sara to be the one, and when I choose something, that's all that matters, and I'm totally in.
Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.
I want to make clothes that people will wear, not styles that will make a big splash on the runway.
I still feel like I'm alone at times - even if I'm in the midst of a million people. Because no one - including me - understands my mind creatively. I haven't really been formally introduced to my gift yet. I feel like I'm still on the runway.
When I was campaigning, I told the people if nothing happens under my mandate it will still be a positive thing because my mandate will be used as a rupture between the past and the future.
