That Me Quotes

If you were my agent and I was making $10 million a movie and made four movies a year, that means you have a salary of $4 million Picture Quote #1

Sometimes the things we want most are the hardest to get. That means you need to be even more determined to succeed. That’s what it takes to be a winner. You have to want it bad enough to stick with it no matter how tough things get Picture Quote #1

The assertion that men are objectively equal is so absurd that it does not even merit being refuted Picture Quote #1

It is fatal for any body of workers to have forever hanging from the fringes of its skirts other bodies on a level just below its own; for that means continual pressure downward, additional difficulty to be overcome in the struggle to maintain reasonable rates of wages Picture Quote #1

You can tell it’s good if you light it and a blue flame comes up; that means it’s good moonshine and it won’t make you go blind Picture Quote #1

Ah, tell me not that memory sheds gladness o’er the past, what is recalled by faded flowers, save that they did not last? Picture Quote #1

We found that when people put this issue on the table, it turns out that men acknowledge the issue, and employers and employees can work out solutions just as working mothers do Picture Quote #1

Well that’s actually happened to me a couple of times... but I really think that men, when it comes to falling in love, are less... I guess you could say less aggressive Picture Quote #1

You must consider, when reading this treatise, that mental perception, because connected with matter, is subject to conditions similar to those to which physical perception is subject Picture Quote #1

It is true that men themselves made this world of nations... but this world without doubt has issued from a mind often diverse, at times quite contrary, and always superior to the particular ends that men had proposed to themselves Picture Quote #1

There’s something about being a comedian that means you have to not be scared of failing because failing is part of the process Picture Quote #1

It’s a major part of world history that men are trying to kill each other. It’s just one slaughter after the other. We talk about it, but no one’s really listening Picture Quote #1

I know it’s a rare privilege, but if one can really tackle something in adult life that means that much to you, then it’s more rewarding than anything I can imagine Picture Quote #1

It is an excellent rule to be observed in all disputes, that men should give soft words and hard arguments; that they should not so much strive to vex as to convince each other Picture Quote #1

The poor must be wisely visited and liberally cared for, so that mendicity shall not be tempted into mendacity, nor want exasperated into crime Picture Quote #1

During my 18 years I came to bat almost 10,000 times. I struck out about 1,700 times and walked maybe 1,800 times. You figure a ballplayer will average about 500 at bats a season. That means I played seven years without ever hitting the ball Picture Quote #1

I know I’ve got a degree. Why does that mean I have to spend my life with intellectuals? I’ve got a lifesaving certificate but I don’t spend my evenings diving for a rubber brick with my pyjamas on Picture Quote #1

To boast of a performance which I cannot beat is merely stupid vanity. And if I can beat it that means there is nothing special about it. What has passed is already finished with. What I find more interesting is what is still to come Picture Quote #1

I can’t tell you how much time is spent worrying about decisions that don’t matter. To just be able to make a decision and see what happens is tremendously empowering, but that means you have to set up the situation such that when something does go wrong, you can fix it Picture Quote #1

If one man can be allowed to determine for himself what is law, every man can. That means first chaos, then tyranny. Legal process is an essential part of the democratic process Picture Quote #1

A green economy begins to replace some of the clunking and chugging of ugly machines with the wise effort of beautiful, skilled people. That means more jobs Picture Quote #1

The humorous man recognizes that absolute purity, absolute justice, absolute logic and perfection are beyond human achievement and that men have been able to live happily for thousands of years in a state of genial frailty Picture Quote #1

The limits of thought are not so much set from outside, by the fullness or poverty of experiences that meet the mind, as from within, by the power of conception, the wealth of formulative notions with which the mind meets experiences Picture Quote #1

Every time a value is born, existence takes on a new meaning; every time one dies, some part of that meaning passes away Picture Quote #1

The light of memory, or rather the light that memory lends to things, is the palest light of all. I am not quite sure whether I am dreaming or remembering, whether I have lived my life or dreamed it. Just as dreams do, memory makes me profoundly aware of the unreality, the evanescence of the world, a fleeting image in the moving water Picture Quote #1

I can understand that memory must be selective, else it would choke on the glut of experience. What I cannot understand is why it selects what it does Picture Quote #1

I am glad to see that men are getting their rights, but I want women to get theirs, and while the water is stirring, I will step into the pool Picture Quote #1

I always get back to the question, is it really necessary that men should consume so much of their bodily and mental energies in the machinery of civilized life? The world seems to me to do much of its toil for that which is not in any sense bread. Again, does not the latent feeling that much of their striving is to no purpose tend to infuse large quantities of sham into men’s work? Picture Quote #1

To give yourself the best possible chance of playing to your potential, you must prepare for every eventuality. That means practice Picture Quote #1

Luckless is the country in which the symbols of procreation are the objects of shame, while the agents of destruction are honored! And yet you call that member your pudendum, or shameful part, as if there were anything more glorious than creating life, or anything more atrocious than taking it away Picture Quote #1
