I mean you know I get a tremendous positive charge every day just from knowing these kids and who they are. I mean Larry my 12-year-old son is my hero in life. Could there be a greater privilege than that? I mean I can't imagine anything that would be more exciting.

I'm not happy not doing anything. When positive things are rolling in you've got to take them when you can get them.

I just try to stay positive and focused on the tennis not let anything get to me like crazy questions. But I'm tough let me tell you tough as nails.

When I was a kid no one would believe anything positive that you could say about black people. That's a terrible burden.

Some people never contribute anything positive to society they may even drain our resources but most of us try to do something better to give back.

I'm looking forward to influencing others in a positive way. My message is you can do anything if you just put your mind to it.

Positive anything is better than negative nothing.

If you're not making mistakes then you're not doing anything. I'm positive that a doer makes mistakes.

The sheep-people don't think for themselves anymore. You can say anything and it's the gospel truth and they don't have to go research it or anything and they believe everything the news tells them. People don't go and do their own investigations if it's relationships or politics or anything.

I was very aware of office politics because I was so baffled by them. So much so goes unsaid. No one says 'you're a cheeky so-and-so ' no one says 'you're so moody ' nobody ever confronts anyone else about anything. But I'm very crass and I'm very confrontational and I have a temper. I had to be hyper-vigilant in every office I worked in.

When you come from desperate poverty and that's exactly what I come from you know that nonsenses are not to be tolerated. I'm not sure who gains from chaos but I know it's not the poor folks in the council flats. The politics of vindictiveness is never ever anything like a solution.

I am genuinely not an over-the-top kind of person about politics or anything else.

There's people coming in who've never done any politics at all who've never been in a trade union they've never been in a political party they've never done anything but they do feel a kind of urgency.

I never saw anything funnier than Texas politics.

Bloomberg is famously impatient with beltway politics and believes that to get anything done you need to work from the ground up.

I deliberately did not read anything about the Vietnam War because I felt the politics of the war eclipsed what happened to the veterans. The politics were irrelevant to what this memorial was.

Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied.

Anything's possible in politics.

When you are in any contest you should work as if there were - to the very last minute - a chance to lose it. This is battle this is politics this is anything.

I don't think politics has anything to do with left right or center. It has to do with trying to do right by people.

The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.

A typical vice of American politics is the avoidance of saying anything real on real issues.

I am never going to have anything more to do with politics or politicians. When this war is over I shall confine myself entirely to writing and painting.

A politician will do anything to keep his job - even become a patriot.
