It is better to be looked over than overlooked.
You have so often been right that it is perfectly possible that I am wrong…
What you resist persists. And only what you look at, and own, can disappear. You make it disappear by simply changing your mind about it.
You cannot resist something to which you grant no reality. The act of resisting a thing is the act of granting it life. When you resist an energy, you place it there. The more you resist, the more you make it real-whatever it is you are resisting." "Every human being is as special as every other human being who has ever lived, lives now, or every will live. You are all meesengers. Every one of you. You are carrying a message to life about life every day. Every hour. Every moment.
You did good Roza. Very good. Now sleep.
It is a great honor for me to be able to express my sincere gratitude to the Nobel Foundation.
It was a requirement by the veterans to list the 57,000 names. We're reaching a time that we'll acknowledge the individual in a war on a national level.
I' ve won awards. And they didn't make me feel bad winning them. They made me feel pretty good. But it also did not make me feel bad NOT winning the Academy Award.
Knowledge is recognition of something absent; it is a salutation, not an embrace.
People say, "How would you like to be remembered?" I don't want to be remembered. Gimme a break. What I want is to hear what's great about me now. Let me hear it! In the box you don't hear these eulogies.
When you've displayed a weakness, you've displayed something a person can grab a hold of and attack you there. If you're not ashamed of it, who can make you feel bad about it? Nobody. If you make a mistake, at least you get to see them, identify them, acknowledge them and hopefully remedy them.
There are people who drove me crazy, but they got the job done. And when I see that person again, I nod my head. Respect.
No one who achieves success does so without acknowledging the help of others. The wise and confident acknowledge this help with gratitude.
It's gratifying to be taken seriously, always.
You say you're not special because the world doesn't know about you, but that's an insult to me. I know about you.
My success, I feel like, is credit - credit for a good job. I haven't even gotten a Grammy, yet I've already decided I want an Emmy.
One grows accustomed to being praised, or being blamed, or being advised, but it is unusual to be understood.
Praise is like sunlight to the warm human spirit; we cannot flower and grow without it. And yet, while most of us are only too ready to apply to others the cold wind of criticism, we are somehow reluctant to give our fellow the warm sunshine of praise.
Hats off, gentlemen — if he were still alive we should not be here.
I do get recognized every once in a while.
We have to pull back, and we have to recognize it.
Just a thank you is a mighty powerful prayer. Says it all.
The debt immense of endless gratitude, So burthensome, still paying, still to owe; Forgetful what from him I still receivd, And understood not that a grateful mind By owing owes not, but still pays, at once Indebted and dischargd; what burden then?
Always acknowledge a fault. This will throw those in authority off their guard and give you an opportunity to commit more.
I also feel like I've done plenty of wrong things. I'm not innocent here, and I'm certainly not going to be righteous about that.
