I pass by people, grazing them on the edges, and it bothers me. I've got to admire someone to really like them deeply - to value them as friends.
With film, I always sit with people first and talk a while, and then we read or sing or whatever. I never sit behind a table. I get up; I work with them. I do everything I possibly can to not audition them. I can find out the best of them from them feeling comfortable and appreciated. I'd never let someone leave feeling not valued.
We always honor our people when they die; we've got to honor them while we're still alive.
So many of us have loved ones and people we really care about, and the only time we show affection is when they are gone. I have preached at funerals, and you see loved ones who didn't even say hello to dear ones when they were alive. Give them hugs, kisses while they are alive and need it.
In a world without love, this is what people are to each other: values, benefits, and liabilities, numbers and data. We weigh, we quantify, we measure, and the soul is ground to dust.
The entire value of a person is subjective to your relationship with them.
When you start putting a higher value on works of art than people, you’re forfeiting your humanity.
I plead with you to have the courage to refrain from judging and criticizing those around you, as well as the courage to make certain that everyone is included and feels loved and valued.
We let folks know we're interested in them and that they're vital to us. cause they are.
In Burma, we have only about four percent of the people in our country who are (college) graduates. So can we not value the majority? No, we must. If we just value the graduates, then does that mean our people are not valuable? I don't believe that. What is important is we need right people in right positions.
People are much more important than superficial environments.
I like to think that as I get older I'm getting better at spending time with people who have qualities that make them worth spending time with.
When you value people, you give them freedom.
When you are not making the present moment into a means to an end, you also are not making every human being you meet - in your business and even at home, in your family - into a means to an end.
We are here to spend ourselves on others; for each person is a great treasure.
You can make people feel valued or cared for by design alone. It's not purely about money. It's about how we choose to value human experience.
If a man is worth knowing at all, he is worth knowing well.
Possessions can be replaced - it's people that can't.
When I talk to people, I always try to figure out what their talents are, what is wonderful about the person. You do the same with kids.
