The great thing about suicide is that it's not one of those things you have to do now or you lose your chance. I mean you can always do it later.

Unless you have prepared yourself to profit by your chance the opportunity will only make you ridiculous. A great occasion is valuable to you just in proportion as you have educated yourself to make use of it.

If you're picking your best friend based on what kind of clothes she wears or how popular she is chances are you aren't going to stay in touch after graduation.

From kindergarten to graduation I went to public schools and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world.

If it does not serve the Iraqi people there are only political means that must be followed to reform the government - a new government that we must give a chance to prove that it is there to serve the people.

Government cannot do it all. As we work hard to break welfare dependency and get young people ready for the labour market we need businesses to give them a chance and not just fall back on labour from abroad.

A good man often appears gauche simply because he does not take advantage of the myriad mean little chances of making himself look stylish. Preferring truth to form he is not constantly at work upon the facade of his appearance.

No government ought to be without censors and where the press is free no one ever will. Chance is the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.

Chance is perhaps the pseudonym of God when he did not want to sign.

First I have to thank God for giving me the gift that he did as well as a second chance for a better life.

There is no chance and anarchy in the universe. All is system and gradation. Every god is there sitting in his sphere.

The goal of my Foundation is to give young people a chance to better themselves and establish a base for a successful future.

We need to give the Iraqis a chance to build their own future. It should be in their hands. It must be in their hands. That is what democracy is all about. We can teach it we can explain it but they must want it enough to make it work for them.

When my job was attempting to predict future economic developments for the Shell oil company I was frequently reminded of an Arabic saying: 'Those who claim to foresee the future are lying even if by chance they are later proved right.'

I'd like to think that the actions we take today will allow others in the future to discover the wonders of landscapes we helped protect but never had the chance to enjoy ourselves.

We cannot always assure the future of our friends we have a better chance of assuring our future if we remember who our friends are.

Destiny is no matter of chance. It is a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for it is a thing to be achieved.

There have been times when I felt suicidal and I would stop my head from going in that direction of negativity because I thought there'd be something I'd miss that was funny in the future. If there's a chance I'm going to laugh tomorrow then want to live to experience that.

I love New York. I was sad depressed and incredibly moved by our fellow countrymen and what they've done. I wanted to give people a chance to see something funny have a distraction.

So what I do now is to pre-empt that by making the up into a virtue and telling funny stories about how crap I am before people have a chance to notice it for themselves and think maybe I haven't realised.

It's funny how social activists usually protest against the only things that have a credible chance of achieving the activists' goals.

Housework can't kill you but why take a chance?

Since there is nothing so well worth having as friends never lose a chance to make them.

Jazz stands for freedom. It's supposed to be the voice of freedom: Get out there and improvise and take chances and don't be a perfectionist - leave that to the classical musicians.
