Maturity - among other things, the unclouded happiness of the child at play, who takes it for granted that he is at one with his play-mates.
Mayors are really good at dealing with things practically.
The great thing about McDonald's is that they have a lot of different things on the menu. I love their salads.
I sometimes truly despair at ever being meaningfully altered and affected by the things I claim are so important to me.
I don't think things happen for a reason, but I think it's perfectly possible to experience life meaningfully.
I look at things as 'Everything is meant to be.'
In a sense it might even be said that our failure is to form habits: for, after all, habit is relative to a stereotyped world, and meantime it is only the roughness of the eye that makes two persons, things, situations, seem alike.
In man, the things which are not measurable are more important than those which are measurable.
I'm addicted to change and therefore I get bored easily. Results have always motivated me, which has led me to developing ways to measure things that historically have not been measurable.
Demeanor-wise, Reagan was a conservative, but a pragmatic conservative, and he found silver linings in things. He liked to be a mediator. He didn't like to have enemies around him.
I've been some through some things medically. I've seen some things on my brain. But I've had some treatment - and I've improved.
I'm mellower now, I'm over 50. But I don't think I'm too mellow. I'm still angry at a lot of things.
I wanted to be so many different things in the beginning - I wanted to be a rocker, I wanted to be a great songwriter, I wanted to be a great melodic singer.
Obviously I got known for some other songs early on, and some of those were rock'n'roll songs. Some of them were melodic pop songs. And I've done lots of different things, as you know, but every so often I get drawn back.
People write memoirs because they lack the imagination to make things up.
How much energy is wasted in Italy in trying to write the novel that obeys all the rules. The energy might have been useful to provide us with more modest, more genuine things, that had less pretensions: short stories, memoirs, notes, testimonials, or at any rate, books that are open, without a preconceived plan.
There's a lot of memorization that goes on in school. You memorize vocabulary words and all these sorts of things.
I am terrible at memorizing things. Hence, ad-libbing.
Seriously, who really cares how long the Nile river is, or who was the first to discover cheese? How is memorizing that ever going to help anyone? Instead, we need to give kids projects that allow them to exercise their minds and discover things for themselves.
Memorizing the song and singing it are two different things.
