Copy Quote Text

I have come East to find what the public likes.

Sessue Hayakawa Actor

I shall ask to see whether they want me in dress clothes or in Japanese.

Sessue Hayakawa Actor

That is one reason so many of the Japanese pictures are not good, they cannot spare all the footage necessary for that bow, which is repeated over and over again.

Sessue Hayakawa Actor

I like America anyway. In Japan we are much more formal. If two friends are separated for a long time and they meet they bow and bow and bow. They keep bowing without exchanging a word. Here they slap each other on the back and say: Hello, old man, how goes everything.

Sessue Hayakawa Actor

I always stayed in tune with my own ambitions and attitudes and I'm still my intractable old self, for better or worse.

Leroy Neiman Artist

A belief in hell and the knowledge that every ambition is doomed to frustration at the hands of a skeleton have never prevented the majority of human beings from behaving as though death were no more than an unfounded rumor.

Aldous Huxley Writer

To endure is greater than to dare; to tire out hostile fortune; to be daunted my no difficulty; to keep heart when all have lost it; to go through intrigue spotless; to forgo even ambition when the end is gained - who can say this is not greatness?

William Makepeace Thackeray Novelist

I am naturally fond of adventure, a little ambitious, and a good deal romantic - but patriotism was the true secret of my success.

Sarah Emma Edmonds Nurse

I was 12 when I ordered my first guitar out of the worn and discolored pages of the Sears and Roebuck catalog. The story that I bought it on the installment plan is untrue, the invention of a Hollywood press agent. Local color. I paid cash, $8, money I had saved as a hired hand on my uncle Calvin's farm, baling and stacking hay. Prairie hay, used as feed for the cattle in winter. It was mean work for a wiry boy, but ambition made me strong.

Gene Autry Music Performer

It's all about how can you take care of yourself when furthering your life's goals and ambitions, and purpose and whatever you choose - family, career - to maintain a really balanced, whole, healthy outlook.

Abigail Spencer Film Actress
