I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.

My younger sister had kids before I did and managed to earn a master's degree while raising them as a single parent. Now she's a brilliant second-grade teacher. I'm in awe of her ability to juggle everything and still be a great mother.

The second and I think this is the much more overt and I think it is the main cause I have been increasingly demonstrating or trying to demonstrate that every possible stance a critic a scholar a teacher can take towards a poem is itself inevitably and necessarily poetic.

Every man who rises above the common level has received two educations: the first from his teachers the second more personal and important from himself.

The first myth of management is that it exists. The second myth of management is that success equals skill.

The success of Torn was a bit too much for me. I took a year off and was still scared to start the second album.

When everything happens to you when you're so young you're very lucky but by the same token you're never going to have that same feeling again. The first time anything happens to you - your first love your first success - the second one is never the same.

The two most important requirements for major success are: first being in the right place at the right time and second doing something about it.

Success does not consist in never making mistakes but in never making the same one a second time.

My opinion my conviction gains immensely in strength and sureness the minute a second mind as adopted it.

I am big into water sports and just being out on the water. That is second nature to me being from Florida.

I would never encourage my children to be athletes - first because my children are not athletes and second because there are so many people pushing to get to the top in sports that 100 people are crushed for each one who breaks through. This is unfortunate.

A lifetime of training for just ten seconds.

Most people never run far enough on their first wind to find out they've got a second.

I did not imagine that the second half of my life would be spent on efforts to avert a mortal danger to humanity created by science.

Many writers upon the science of political economy have declared that it is the duty of a nation first to encourage the creation of wealth and second to direct and control its distribution. All such theories are delusive.

A second reason why science cannot replace judgement is the behavior of financial markets.

'Eyes Wide Open' took shape from two real life events straight from my own past. One was the sad suicide of my young nephew a troubled kid who was found at the bottom of a landmark cliff in central California. The second was a chance encounter forty years ago with none other than ahem Charles Manson!

This was an important part of my life. But it was also sad that we didn't play there cause we had such alot of fans that were waiting for us and Brazilians are great people. It's now my second home.

'The Taxi Ride ' from my second album is one people want to hear a lot. I'm consciously trying to walk on the sunny side of the street to really lift myself into a place of greater positivity and that's a sad song.

In the movies Bette Davis lights two cigarettes and hands the second one to James Cagney. It was just so glamorous and romantic.

So many women today have become so focused on their children they've developed these romantic entanglements with their children's lives and the husbands are secondary. They're left out. And the romantic focus is on the children.

I've always been attracted to romantic secondhand clothes. But my style developed as I started going to these strange raves where everybody had these very definitive costumes.

If you're a woman and a guy's ever said anything romantic to you he just left off the second part that would have made you sick if you could have heard it.
