I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place.
This circulating medium has a natural tendency to lessen by degrees the value and the use of money, and finally to render it powerless; and consequently to sweep away all the crushing masses of fraud, iniquity, cruelty, corruption and imposition that...
Some things I won't do for any amount of money. Like for instance, there's a couple of CEOs of very large corporations that offered me lots of money to do special pictures for them. And I just refused to do that. Even if it was a million dollars I wo...
I have a problem with too much money. I can't reinvest it fast enough, and because I reinvest it, more money comes in. Yes, the rich do get richer.
It costs governments money to keep fuel prices low. Oil-rich Yemen, for instance, devotes 9 percent of its GDP to making sure its people don't riot when oil prices rise.
If we live in a world where information drives what we do, the information we get becomes the most important thing. The person who chooses that information has power.
I wrote poetry, which got me into lyrics. Stevie Wonder, Carole King, Elton John pulled me into pop. I started singing with a band - just for fun - when I was 17. And pretty soon, I was thinking I could sing pop in English as well as Spanish.
Being able to say something lyrically, to say something that will do more than just be words, is really hard. It's easy to do when you're writing a chapter of a book or writing poetry, but it's really hard to do when you're confined to a melody line.
Let me tell you about a place where technology won't work. When you walk onto a farm and are standing on soil, there is no technology that is going to take that soil and transform it into something that is five times more productive.
I don't think there's any company that has the same tools as Martha Stewart Living does, and people know that. They really love the tools and, if you have the tools, you can pretty much do the craft.
But the idea of taking things and mixing them together is what I do in my music. I take hip-hop, R&B, pop, dance, funk and soul and mix it all together to get my own sound.
I loved the last album, and it was one hundred percent me. But this is like me two years later, who understands a little bit more about music and understands a little bit more about making an album. I wrote a lot more.
Steve McCroskey: Johnny, what can you make out of this? [Hands him the weather briefing] Johnny: This? Why, I can make a hat or a brooch or a pterodactyl...
Ted Striker: Mayday! Mayday! Steve McCroskey: What the heck is that? Johnny: Why, that's the Russian New Year. We can have a parade and serve hot hors d'oeuvres...
Steve McCroskey: I need the best man on this. Someone who knows that plane inside and out and won't crack under pressure. Johnny: How about Mister Rogers?
Steve Rogers: [relieved] Nick Fury, you son of a bitch! Nick Fury: Whoa ho ho! You kiss your mother with that mouth?
Steve Rogers: Ultron thinks we're monsters, that we're what's wrong with the world. This isn't just about beating him, it's about whether he's right.
Ultron: You know what's in that cradle? The power to make real change, and that terrifies you. Steve Rogers: I wouldn't call it a comfort.
Nick Fury: Having trouble sleeping? Steve Rogers: I've been asleep for 70 years. I think I've had enough rest.
Siempre he creído que en la vida hay personas que te alimentan, que te quieren y que necesitas de tal manera que cuando los pierdes nadie puede llenar ese vacío.
If we loved Steve Aylett, really loved him in the way that he deserves, a selfless love that genuinely wanted nothing save his happiness and comfort, we'd lobotomise him.
