We have accepted the principle of democracy and we are committed to respect the popular verdict and the result of that national consultation.

In some ways that fight gave me more respect around the world and helped me be even more popular because so many people felt my pain and saw that I was robbed.

We have to unclutter our brains from worries that maybe people don't like us. Women tend to worry about popularity it doesn't matter if they like you. They need to respect you. They need to show that respect for you in your pay check. And that needs to be okay.

I firmly believe that respect is a lot more important and a lot greater than popularity.

Religion is to mysticism what popularization is to science.

Religion oh just another of those numerous failures resulting from an attempt to popularize art.

Compassion is not a popular virtue. Very often when I talk to religious people and mention how important it is that compassion is the key that it's the sine-qua-non of religion people look kind of balked and stubborn sometimes as much to say what's the point of having religion if you can't disapprove of other people?

To become a popular religion it is only necessary for a superstition to enslave a philosophy.

I never saw heard nor read that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular but some degree of persecution.

We have all loved a guy we know has issues. Despite popular opinions until we give it a final try the relationship will always be in the 'what if' stage.

This whole fuss did not only damage Fischer's image but that of the USA as well. The way the Americans treated one of their most popular citizens did not make a positive impression worldwide.

My political science degree is always on the back-burner. I took my LSAT so even if I want to take the LSAT again I know what I'm getting into. I'll keep it on the back-burner. Who knows maybe with my popularity I can have a career in politics with a law degree. I think it'll work out either way.

There is probably a perverse pride in my administration... that we were going to do the right thing even if short-term it was unpopular. And I think anybody who's occupied this office has to remember that success is determined by an intersection in policy and politics and that you can't be neglecting of marketing and P.R. and public opinion.

There have been two popular subjects for poetry in the last few decades: the Vietnam War and AIDS about both of which almost all of us have felt deeply.

To his dog every man is Napoleon hence the constant popularity of dogs.

The popular and one may say naive idea is that peace can be secured by disarmament and that disarmament must therefore precede the attainment of absolute security and lasting peace.

Even though now I'm pretty popular in my country and tennis is the No. 1 sport and I'm very flattered that the people recognise me and come up and give me compliments I'm more a person who likes to have privacy and peace.

Avoid popularity if you would have peace.

There are others who aim at popularity under the disguise of patriotism.

The heights of popularity and patriotism are still the beaten road to power and tyranny.

We are living in a time when American popular music is finally being recognized as one of our most successful exports. The demand is huge.

The imminent demise of the large record companies as gatekeepers of the world's popular music is a good thing for the most part.

People think I take some sort of masochistic pleasure out of putting out music that's gonna be unpopular.

For instance I'm always fascinated to see whether given the kind of fairly known and established form called popular music whether there is some magic combination that nobody has hit upon before.
