Good timing is invisible. Bad timing sticks out a mile.
Observe calmly; secure our position; cope with affairs calmly; hide our capacities and bide our time; be good at maintaining a low profile; and never claim leadership.
I love intricate plotting and exciting twists, but I realize more that people enjoy a good story in a simple, focused way.
Ants are good citizens; they place group interest first. But they carry it so far, they have few or no political rights. An ant doesn't have the vote, apparently; he just has his duties.
I've said that "2012" was my favorite ensemble cast, because it was so evenly good.
History rewards all research. And history fails to record one single instance in which the white man - as a people - did good. They have always been devils; they always will be devils, and they are about to be destroyed. The final proof that they are devils lies in the fact that they are about to destroy themselves. Only a devil - and a stupid devil at that - would destroy himself!
Like many people, I think I'm my own worst critic. And I think I take a lot out in an internally abusive way, looking at how I measure up, which usually was never enough. I never, never was as good as someone else.
There's not a good poet I know who has not at the beck and call of his memory a vast quantity of poetry that composes his mental library.
In the intercourse of life, we please more by our faults than by our good qualities.
Good God, what did he not remember?
On the other side, if Im playing a good guy, then he has some problems too. Thats what makes people interesting, in life and in fiction.
A man who is more concerned with being a good man than being good at being a man makes a very well-behaved slave.
If I could have anyone on speed dial it would be George Clooney. He seems like a cool guy who would give good advice.
The more I compose, the more I know that I don't know it all. I think it's a good way to start. If you think you know it all, the work becomes a repetition of what you've already done.
Desire is God tapping at the door of your mind, trying to give you greater good.
To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell.
NBC executives say that if Donald Trump does run for president, they will not renew The Apprentice. So some good may come out of this.
I think pain is the best feeling for song writing. You can write good happy songs, but I think the kind of bruiting, depressing ones are more effective. They are easier to write when I am impassioned and angry. It is a good way to channel that negative energy.
Your weaknesses are the key to the unimaginable bigger future that God has envisioned for you. Your strengths are probably already bearing all the fruit they can. They will continue to bear those good fruits in your life, but at some point they will begin to plateau. Your richer, more abundant future is intimately linked to your weaknesses.
I bring people on stage with me. It's a good time, and people love to join in on the party. Show me a smile, and I'll show you one back.
