I was tough. I used everything to my advantage. I could be very ruthless.
I always try to set a positive example for my generation and promote confidence.
Giving back, doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that's always made me feel good. If you repeatedly go out there, and you are the change that you want to see, then that's what you are.
Love yourself. Nobody's perfect. I mean, come on, nobody is perfect. Not you, not your mom, even the people on TV - nobody is perfect, and there's always something that nobody likes, but you know, you just accept that. Your imperfections make you beautiful. It's those things you find you don't like that someone else finds very special and very unique about you.
The one thing you absolutely need is the one thing you can never lose: God's presence and love for you. Just have to talk to him.
You can do anything as long as you don't stop believing. When it is meant to be, it will be. You just have to follow your heart.
You should never look at somebody and say, 'I wish I had their life,' because you never really know what struggles they're going through.
I would like to suggest to you that the extent to which government in America has departed from the original design of in habiting the destructive actions of man and invoking a common justice; the extent to which government has invaded the productive and creative areas; the extent to which the government in this country has assumed the responsibility for the security, welfare, and prosperity of our people is a measure of the extent to which socialism has developed here in this land of ours.
For to cast away a virtuous friend, I call as bad as to cast away one's own life, which one loves best.
Nothing more excellent or valuable than wine was every granted by the gods to man.
Why do we not care to acknowledge them? The cattle, the body count. We still don't like to admit the war was even partly our fault because so many of our people died. A photograph on every mantlepiece. And all this mourning has veiled the truth. It's not so much lest we forget, as lest we remember. Because you should realise the Cenotaph and the Last Post and all that stuff is concerned, there's no better way of forgetting something than by commemorating it.
