Laughter is not at all a bad beginning for a friendship and it is far the best ending for one.

Beauty is about perception not about make-up. I think the beginning of all beauty is knowing and liking oneself. You can't put on make-up or dress yourself or do you hair with any sort of fun or joy if you're doing it from a position of correction.

Players should know that if you can't make the contribution of the winning shot that your attitude every day when you come to practice or the positive contribution you make through cheering and keeping up team morale is just as important in the overall picture.

I have played on many teams throughout my career and I know when a team has the tools and the right positive attitude towards winning.

There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs in his attitude a motivation above and beyond winning.

I think whether you're having setbacks or not the role of a leader is to always display a winning attitude.

It is our attitude at the beginning of a difficult task which more than anything else will affect its successful outcome.

Because most of my career in the classroom has been at art schools (beginning at Bennington in the 1970s) I am hyper-aware of the often grotesque disconnect between commentary on the arts and the actual practice or production of the arts.

I think of art at its most significant as a DEW line a Distant Early Warning system that can always be relied on to tell the old culture what is beginning to happen to it.

At the beginning of the 20th century the ambition of the great painters was to make paintings that were like music which was then considered as the noblest art.
