My acting teacher used to say that people reveal themselves in their opposites.

I want the municipality to be a helping hand to the man with a desire of sympathy to help the fallen when it is not in their power to help themselves.

They weren't impatient for the boys to turn into cartoons again. They awarded sympathy gave compassion. Because deep down they had found parts of themselves in the characters. You said it George.

Badges mean nothing in themselves but they mark a certain achievement and they are a link between the rich and the poor. For when one girl sees a badge on a sister Scout's arm if that girl has won the same badge it at once awakens an interest and sympathy between them.

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

I'm in the studio 24 hours a day. It's true that once you get a certain level of success you become a target. Talk magazine should be ashamed of themselves.

When people stand up and talk about the great success that the EU has been I'm not sure anybody saying it really believes it themselves anymore.

Although in skating you compete with other people anyone who achieves a certain level of success is first and foremost competing against themselves. And for me the idea that I could always do better learn more learn faster is something that came from skating. But I carried that with me for the rest of my life.

Those who have succeeded at anything and don't mention luck are kidding themselves.

It's a wonderful side effect of what we're doing to give someone the strength to come out of the closet to their family or simply present themselves aesthetically in a way they feel happy with whether or not their friends are going to be allowed to like them anymore.

God is stronger than their strength more loving than their uttermost love and in so far as they have loved and sacrificed themselves for others they have obtained the infallible proof that God too lives and loves and gives Himself away.

From the depth of need and despair people can work together can organize themselves to solve their own problems and fill their own needs with dignity and strength.

The depth and strength of a human character are defined by its moral reserves. People reveal themselves completely only when they are thrown out of the customary conditions of their life for only then do they have to fall back on their reserves.

People here don't identify themselves by their sports team.

Sports teams people who follow sports teams religion churches work - any company I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.

The families of many athletes - incensed at the sports leagues and hoping to make games safer overall - are increasingly making the brains of players who die prematurely and suspiciously available for study. Some athletes are even making the bequest themselves.

Sports and entertainment are the only places where inner-city kids see themselves being able to succeed. Their intellectual development is something they don't relate to.

I think that when we have a better educated society when there is less violence in our cities when people get back into the workforce and have the opportunity to take care of themselves and their families - that for me really is the kind of success and the kind of America that I think most of us still want we aspire to.

I believe that writers unless they consider themselves terribly exquisite are at heart people who live by night a little bit outside society moving between delinquency and conformity.

Watching people just look out for themselves I think is extremely interesting. It goes right back to something like 'The Beggar's Opera' - the underbelly of society how it operates and how that reflects their so-called betters.

In this I-me society my job is to get people to buy into something bigger than themselves.

The first task in teaching is to bring to consciousness what the students already believe by virtue of their personal experiences about themselves and society.

If you want a free society teach your children what oppression tastes like. Tell them how many miracles it takes to get from here to there. Above all encourage them to ask questions. Teach them to think for themselves.

You've got all these books on self help getting to know yourself doing the right thing eating the so-called right foods even down to what books you have on your shelves. People are encouraged to look to themselves first as opposed to being a part of society.
