Thank God men cannot fly and lay waste the sky as well as the earth.

And I'm very surprised that all this stuff actually worked out to where I could have a career in film gain the benefit of my education and be thankful that I was able to break into my craft as an actor.

We need affordable space travel to inspire our youth to let them know that they can experience their dreams can set significant goals and be in a position to lead all of us to future progress in exploration discovery and fun. Thanks to the X Prize for the inspiration.

Thanking you once more I want to wish you the best of luck for your future life and to conclude by saying to you: Dream your dreams and may they come true!

It was a lovely opportunity for the first time in my whole career to stand up and thank people who are really responsible for me getting to realize my dreams.

I've said it before but it's absolutely true: My mother gave me my drive but my father gave me my dreams. Thanks to him I could see a future.

An optimist is a person who starts a new diet on Thanksgiving Day.

I thank Marc Jacobs so much for giving me the opportunity to design a shoe for Louis Vuitton but the thing that broke my heart most was when they said 'You're finished. The shoe's finished.'

I hit rock bottom but thank God my bottom wasn't death.

Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing and some of us unfortunately don't make it there and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom but thank God my bottom wasn't death.

I thank my God for graciously granting me the opportunity of learning that death is the key which unlocks the door to our true happiness.

The Google algorithm was a significant development. I've had thank-you emails from people whose lives have been saved by information on a medical website or who have found the love of their life on a dating website.

Thank God I never got in a fight. All of the jock dudes hated me but all of their girlfriends thought I was nice so they wouldn't touch me. It was infuriating to them.

But my father was also the one who told me I needed to clean up my mouth or I'd never find a man. What's very important to him is manners. Show up on time. Always send thank-you letters. He is one of the more thoughtful humans I've ever met. He's a great man and a very good dad.

I grew up in a small town in Illinois and my dad was a basketball coach. Thanks to him I have excellent fundamentals in both basketball and baseball.

I listened to the radio so I was influenced by everyone from Michael Jackson to Milli Vanilli. But thankfully my dad had a collection of Cat Stevens albums while my mom was listening to jazz.

I shouldn't have got married. My dad told me. I was 35 and I got married. He said 'You're too young to be married'. 'What? I'm 35'. Said 'You're far too young. You haven't lived yet'. He was right bless him thanks Dad.

That is the thankless position of the father in the family - the provider for all and the enemy of all.

For as long as this nation has known war we have embraced the heroes it has produced. Americans have rightfully noted the honor and nobility of courage under hostile fire and thanked those who perished in their defense.

I want to thank the Academy for its courage and generosity.

I don't think I really know just how cool Satan really was when I was in Junior High School. Now thanks to Marilyn Manson it's no longer a secret.

The truth is - I found myself doing these huge action-adventure movies and um and which are cool man. And I really love doing them. And thankfully I haven't had too much dialogue because if I had I would have really made a mess of it. You know what I mean?

And we have a little herb garden which survived the winter thanks to global warming. It makes me feel like a cool old Italian housewife that I kept my rosemary alive outside all winter.

I get heartfelt thanks from all kinds of people. Today I heard from a waitress in Georgia who has lost her job and is trying to figure out how her local bank can change the terms on her credit card and I heard from a physicist at a major research university who wants to explain a better theory of financial stress tests.
