I learned that life, it's beautiful to be alive. I saw a lot of people dead there. When I got out of there, I was happy I was out, happy I was alive.

The German birthrate is below replacement levels, meaning the population is shrinking, meaning fewer and fewer people of age to join the labor force.

Did you see the 2000 Republican Presidential Convention? The last time the Republicans had that many Black people on a stage, they were selling them!

I understand what my gift is, which is making people laugh, hopefully. It's more on that level. I don't need to be a leading man, I'm fine with that.

When people ask me my influences and I'm like, "nobody" they're like, "there has to be somebody." People seem to think you have to have an influence.

When you can't rely on sticking a pipe in the ground, what you have to rely on is unlocking the energy and talent of all your people - men and women.

I think that whenever you have got an incoming president of the other side it takes a while for people to reconcile themselves with that new reality.

A lot of people don't remember anything since 'Ice Ice Baby,' but I've got 3 records out since then and they're all successes - but not commercially.

Through democracy we can address the basic needs of the people, involve them as participants in planning and restore the authority of the government.

I have felt uncomfortable having people say, "You're my idol," because I want them to idolize God. I want them to idolize somebody that's done a lot.

What annoys the hell out of me is the arrogance of some people. They don't even listen to our music, they decided in advance that they don't like it.

I have friends that are laying in the gutter right now that were rich people and they're no longer rich people because of what the banks did to them.

Some people find clarity threatening. They like muddle, confusion, obscurity. So when somebody does no more than speak clearly it sounds threatening.

The people who believe that their soul is being crushed by playing a particular role need to take a vacation or check into the looney bin for awhile.

My work disturbs people and nobody wants to be disturbed. They are not fully aware of the effect my work has on them, but they know it is disturbing.

Some people tell me that they like what I do, which is great, of course. The perfect irony and truth is that I need them much more than they need me.

Woe to the Revolution when the day comes, when the people, overburdened by contributions and consumed by abuses, turn to their enemies for salvation!

My purpose is to inspire people of all walks of life to discover the virtue inherent within them and to bring forth that virtue in their daily lives.

To my parents and all the people who reassured me that leaving high school and going into the draft was the right thing to do, I am forever thankful.

Freedom, liberty, individual rights, that idea of dealing with other people in a matter that is not initiating force against them, is critical to me.

People who believe they cause good things tend to like themselves better than people who believe good things come from other people or circumstances.

I think people can at least appreciate the sensibility behind the position I have. It is not a pro-marijuana position. It is a common-sense position.

Emphatic and reiterated assertion, especially during childhood, produces in most people a belief so firm as to have a hold even over the unconscious.

I'm always proud and pleased when people do my songs. It gives me pleasure that they even attempt them, because a lot of my songs aren't that doable.

Whenever I found something remarkable, I have thought it my duty to put down my discovery on paper, so that all ingenious people be informed thereof.

Justice needs to be served, what I think people of Baltimore want more than anything else is the truth. That's what people around the country expect.

I was always drawn to music. It consumed my thoughts and when I realized I could make people feel something through music that is all I wanted to do.

Just having medicine isn't equivalent to medical care. You need the health systems, you need to create the social framework so that people feel safe.

History...shows that even seemingly miraculous advances are in fact the result of many people taking small steps together over a long period of time.

I am not normally a betting person, but I say that putting your money on the American people is about as close to a sure bet as you are going to get.

Most grown people are like icebergs, three-tenths showing, seven-tenths submerged - that is why a collision with one of them is unexpectedly hurtful.

My grandmother lived with us for a short time while I was a child. Old people tend to be slightly more eccentric - they can behave the way they want.

Smaller movies are great because you don't have to argue with so many people all the time. But really I like arguing so there's a balance either way.

TV has a lot of problems, but I think the Internet and social media have a lot more. Under the cover of anonymity people say the most vicious things.

The spirit of seeking understanding through personal contact with people of other nations and other cultures deserves the respect and support of all.

A lot of people want to see this idealized version of heroism, all pretty and perfect, and I'm not interested in playing the goody-goody hero at all.

The sickly, weakly, timid man fears the people, and is a Tory by nature. The healthy, strong and bold cherishes them, and is formed a Whig by nature.

Call me a braggart, call me arrogant. People at ABC (and elsewhere) have called me worse. But when you need the job done on deadline, you'll call me.

People lie because they don't remember clear what they saw. People lie because they can't help making a story better than it was the way it happened.

I like to go play shows just to see people, so I'm not in the game of like, "You're at my show, you're gonna listen to it like this, blah blah blah."

How much change can a person absorb before everything loses meaning Living for its own sake isn't life. People need meaning as much as they need air.

We all know many people who have been through this reality, and how it changes them. This happens to be an area I know something about. It's a virus.

Most people who have wealth came from nothing or their parents came from nothing. And this idea that anyone can grow wealth is central to what we do.

It is not possible that a just God should forgive people who are wicked because another person who was good endured agony by being nailed to a cross.

Perhaps it is because cats do not live by human patterns, do not fit themselves into prescribed behavior, that they are so united to creative people.

The great tragedy of life is not that people set their sights too high and fail to achieve their goals but that they set their sights too low and do.

There are people in your path just so you can be a blessing to them. Anytime you do good for others, you are sowing a seed for God to be good to you.
