Keep your attention focused entirely on what is truly your own concern, and be clear that what belongs to others is their business and none of yours.
Just like any other human being is concerned about his or her personal life, I also need to think about my personal life.
Every man should be content to mind his own business.
Too often, our concern for specific individuals today means neglecting crises that will harm countless people in the future.
I have known Eto'o since I was 16 and since then I always liked him. He is a good person, but he always thinks of himself and not the group.
Money's important, but it isn't a motivator for me.
[It's] difficult to engage people in politics when they believe that what really matters is where they personally stand.
A man will fight harder for his interests than for his rights.
The Olympics is not for tennis and tennis does not need the Olympics. It is not my goal in life to win a gold medal.
I don't want to be a top Bollywood actress. That's not what is driving me.
I never dealt with fame. It was never a goal of mine to become famous.
Any two people have different ideas of what is important.
Actually, if you take the average American, and studies have shown that, he is really concerned only with private affairs; that is to say, with his health, his money and family affairs.
Consider any individual at any period of his life, and you will always find him preoccupied with fresh plans to increase his comfort. Do not talk to him about the interests and rights of the human race; that little private business of his for the moment absorbs all his thoughts, and he hopes that public disturbances can be put off to some other time.
I don't read reviews, and I don't include the press as part of my priorities or as part of the world that has any validity to what's really important to me.
People with different personalities, different approaches, different values succeed not because one set of values or priorities is superior but because their values and practices are genuine.
There are women for whom family is a priority, and they do it. It just wasn't as much a priority for me.
Men are not against you; they are merely for themselves.
What is common to many is least taken care of, for all men have greater regard for what is their own than what they possess in common with others.
Rest of my life is more important to me than politics
I don't want to acquire whatever 'fame' is.
You can't worry about what people say, but... People always harp on athletes being selfish individualists.
I don't think fame is that important to me.
Men pay most attention to what is their own: they care less for what is common; or, at any rate, they care for it only to the extent to which each is individually concerned.
It couldn't be a simpler answer. Marriage doesn't really mean anything to me. I feel like in many ways marriage is more for the families of the couple than for the people involved, so I don't gravitate to it.
