A battle lost or won is easily described understood and appreciated but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection as well as observation to appreciate it.

You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.

The stories that I want to tell especially as a director don't necessarily have a perfect ending because the older you get the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself the other appreciates what others can understand the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent the second good and the third kind useless.

I'm a survivor of life. I try to give the glory to God and appreciate what's happening to me.

It's always nice when you do something and it's well received as opposed to the other way which God knows happens to everybody. When the good times come around you take a deep breath appreciate it but not take it too seriously.

Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.

I appreciate humor so much but I'm actually not a funny girl.

Now that I'm more mature in a funny way I can even appreciate that I've bad to become more aware of my body. Since I've chosen acting as my career I have to keep my weight down anyway-I've been used to it for years so it's no problem. And there's nothing I can't do.

I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid they told me I was being funny.

Among the many values in life I appreciate freedom most.

Fashion for me is anything that's aesthetic and beautiful. Art food film. It's something that I appreciate and really like.

If you think of what food is it's the energy we use to do our daily work. I want people to know about the USDA. This is a very important department. It's not fully appreciated as such.

Pick the day. Enjoy it - to the hilt. The day as it comes. People as they come... The past I think has helped me appreciate the present - and I don't want to spoil any of it by fretting about the future.

'Howard the Duck!' That's a really interesting movie. I appreciate my career because I've had a lot of very interesting ups and downs and most people... That movie is such a famous flop. In a land of a lot of flops it's kind of awesome to be in a really famous flop. I mean it's kind of a poster child for flops.
