Office holders are a self-selected group; you don't get elected if you don't put your name on the ballot. There are many people who would do a great job, but who would never think to run. Find them. Badger them. Get them elected. They might not thank you for it, but a lot of other people will.
With one eye on today's blessings you will have more staying power for the distant goal.
My friend, Sue Ann, in college pulled me aside and said, 'Honey I love you but you have got to start waxing your eyebrows. They look wild!' So thank you , that kinda changed my life.
I sing in key, thank you very much.
When you practice gratefulness, there is a sense of respect toward others.
My mom passed away at 41 from diabetes. And I'm 42, thank you. I didn't want to do that to my son. So any time I was at the gym, that thing that helped me do that last squat was my son calling some other woman mommy. And that would just give me that extra oomph to do that last squat. I want to be around for him.
Thank you for life, and all the little ups and downs that make it worth living.

I'm gonna be a respectable dude. When people talking to me, I'm gonna show everybody respect. I just wanted to do that, I needed some kind of balance and I think that Islam was perfect for me. It ain't nothing different than Christianity, we all believe in Jesus, we all believe in God, it's just that Islam really helped me balance out who I am. Cuz if I can go all day without making Salaat or asking for forgiveness or giving thanks, you know, I would probably be a lunatic. So that's what gave me balance.
I can only say thank you and thanks also to all of the great songwriters who wrote those wonderful songs that became number ones.
I get a lot of calls from families and people who have served time and they say, 'Thank you, Sheriff. I hate the tents. ' That's music to my ears.
I have learned that to have a good friend is the purest of all God's gifts, for it is a love that has no exchange of payment.

People come up to me and they thank me: 'I thank you for the many, many hours of laughter. '
Thank you for the tragedy. I need it for my art.
Thank you for the confidence put in my by the motherland and the people, for giving me this chance to represent China's millions of women by going into space.
Thank you so much for breaking my heart because you got me four Grammys.
Their silent wounds have speech More eloquent than men; Their tones can deeper reach Than human voice or pen.
