My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites.

It is by teaching that we teach ourselves by relating that we observe by affirming that we examine by showing that we look by writing that we think by pumping that we draw water into the well.

None of us got where we are solely by pulling ourselves up by our bootstraps. We got here because somebody - a parent a teacher an Ivy League crony or a few nuns - bent down and helped us pick up our boots.

I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.

They weren't impatient for the boys to turn into cartoons again. They awarded sympathy gave compassion. Because deep down they had found parts of themselves in the characters. You said it George.

Badges mean nothing in themselves but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout's arm if that girl has won the same badge it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

I'm in the studio 24 hours a day. It's true that once you get a certain level of success you become a target. Talk magazine should be ashamed of themselves.

I don't think success has changed us as people at all. We are the same lunatics that we were when this band first got going. We never see ourselves as being on a higher level than our fans.

The whole secret to our success is being able to con ourselves into believing that we're going to change the world because statistically we are unlikely to do it.
