[Michelle Obama] used to say to our friends, "Barack's exactly the kind of guy I want to be president. I just wish he didn't want to do it when I was married to him."

You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

Keep exploring. Keep dreaming. Keep asking why. Don’t settle for what you already know. Never stop believing in the power of your ideas, your imagination, your hard work to change the world.

When ignorant folks want to advertise their ignorance, you don't really have to do anything, you just let them talk.

Just because we have the best hammer does not mean that every problem is a nail.

Change is never easy, but always possible.

Don’t ever let anybody tell you that your efforts don’t matter or that your voice doesn’t count. Don’t ever believe that you can’t make a difference. You have.

Where you are right now doesn't have to determine where you'll end up.

Learning to stand in somebody else's shoes, to see through their eyes, that's how peace begins. And it's up to you to make that happen. Empathy is a quality of character that can change the world.

If somebody is different from you, that's not something you criticize, that's something that you appreciate.

Take advantage of it now, while you are young, and suffer all you can, because these things don't last your whole life.

Words won’t have meaning until you put your emotions into them.

It's an acting job - acting natural.

The pulpit is not a place to settle scores, it’s a place to preach the word of God.

Those who spend too fast never grow rich.

Paul Scholes is literally on another planet

We just lay on our bellies in the snow, gasping and immobile.

A lot of old guys in movies are like cowboys - they talk like cowboys and they dress like cowboys.

When you think outside of what you know, that brings out the best in you.
