I did not throw out my education lightly, but what I was being taught was of no use in explaining what I saw around me. It was the Great Depression. – Paul Samuelson
I like the ‘Keystone Kops’ storyline. It didn’t actually go quite the way I wanted to, but it was another great way to show how different life was in these two different corners of the DCU, being on the ground in these different areas. – Greg Rucka
Other prime ministers leave office and stay in London. I have come back with my whole family to Fife. This is where they are being brought up. It is better for them and better for me. It’s great to see more of the kids. – Gordon Brown
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together. – George Eliot
I spent a weekend in the White House with President Clinton, back in ’99, I guess. We played golf and just hung out and talked on many subjects. I saw him several times subsequently in L.A. He’s the smartest man I ever met, a great politician. Everybody was star struck around him. – Dennis Quaid
You have to manage money. Particularly with market economies. You may have a great product, but if your bottom line goes bust, then that’s it. – Mukesh Ambani
What distinguishes Vilmos Zsigmond from other cinematographers is, of course, talent but, more, physical stamina. You just can’t be great without it. – Michael Cimino
Even now, my husband Jerry, our son Matthew and I live only five minutes away from my parents home, and my brothers live about ten minutes away. It’s been great having such a supportive family. – Nancy Kerrigan
I have a lot of great players around me. I have the best O-line in football. It’s what’s expected. – Ezekiel Elliott
What I wish is that people would look beyond the tribbles and see I’ve written some other books that I really would like people to notice. There’s ‘The Man Who Folded Himself,’ there’s ‘The Martian Child,’ which is about my son and the adoption. There’s ‘The War Against The Chtorr,’ which is my magnum opus, my great epic story. – David Gerrold
Check your ego at the door. The ego can be the great success inhibitor. It can kill opportunities, and it can kill success. – Dwayne Johnson
I was quite cocky, but having been hailed as this great young golfer, I couldn’t even make the high school golf team once I got there. I had a big dose of humble pie then, and ever since, I’ve always known that there is always someone out there better than you, more talented. Always. – David Chang
Still, I believe it is only a passing phase and cricket will one day produce an abundance of great players. – Frank Woolley
I’m not a political thinker, but I’ve just always thought of myself as a Labour supporter. I was a great fan of Tony Blair. He sent me a letter before I swam the Channel to wish me luck. – David Walliams
You have great athletic directors, you let them run it; you keep yourself informed, but I’m not the athletic director. I’m the president of the university. – Gordon Gee
Embrace a diversity of ideas. Embrace the fact that you can disagree with people and not be disagreeable. Embrace the fact that you can find common ground – if you disagree on nine out of 10 things, but can find common ground on that 10th, maybe you can make progress. If you can find common ground, you can accomplish great things. – David Boies
It’s difficult to talk about, you know, my inadequacies, my inability to stay sober when I’m a relatively bright man and I’ve had a lot of great blessings and a lot of great opportunities. – Daniel Baldwin
When I was little, we had a Golden Book that had all these Disney characters in one portrait on the first page. My dad used to read from it every night. We’d play this game of find Pluto or find Donald Duck. He’d read us stories and do all the voices. Those are great memories. – Danica McKellar
Apparently, a democracy is a place where numerous elections are held at great cost without issues and with interchangeable candidates. – Gore Vidal
I love the instantaneous nature of filming rather than the repetition of working in the theatre, but that maybe because I haven’t had great experiences working in the theatre. – Emilia Fox
Unfortunately, if you’ve ever been in southern Georgia on the beaches in a lightning storm, if you’re out there, you’re in great, great danger, and you can be killed very, very quickly. – Norman Schwarzkopf
I’m a huge music fan. I usually say that if I had been born with a musical inclination, it would’ve been great. The Beatles changed everything for me, and I wanted to be a journalist for ‘Rolling Stone.’ I’m a big music fan in a Cameron Crowe way, kind of in a spectator way. – Emma Stone
Sunsets are great. Sunrises are a mixed bag. You either got up way too early or went to bed way too late. – Matt Dillon
Jewish intellectuals contributed a great deal to insure that Europe became a continent of humanism, and it is with these humanist ideals that Europe must now intervene in the Middle East conflict. – Daniel Barenboim
Greed and Gain, grim guardians of the great god Mammon, continually cry in the ears of the poor, ‘Give us your little ones!’ And forever do the poor push out their little ones at the imperious ukase, feeding the children to a blind Hunger that is never filled. – Edwin Markham
As someone who asks questions for a living, there are few things that annoy me more than people who won’t ask for themselves. Social media is a great help, but so is something as simple as turning on your television or powering up your laptop to watch a smart news show. – Gwen Ifill
I come from a council estate in Tower Hamlets, and by no means am I the only person who has done well – one of my friends is head of year in a great school in Twickenham. Another is a writer; another is an artist, a musician. – Eddie Marsan
