The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.

The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this; decide what you want.
Screaming at children over their grades, especially to the point of the child's tears, is child abuse, pure and simple. It's not funny and it's not good parenting. It is a crushing, scarring, disastrous experience for the child. It isn't the least bit funny.

Keep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over gain, and you will grow stronger until have accomplished a purpose - not the one you began with perhaps, but one you'll be glad to remember.

Darwinism doesn't explain where gravity comes from. It doesn't explain where thermodynamics comes from. It doesn't explain where the laws of physics come from. It doesn't explain where matter came from.

It is inevitable that some defeat will enter even the most victorious life. The human spirit is never finished when it is defeated... it is finished when it surrenders.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

Personal relationships are the fertile soil from which all advancement, all success, all achievement in real life grows.

Jump into the middle of things, get your hands dirty, fall flat on your face, and then reach for the stars.

I don't believe the most successful people are the ones who got the best grades, got into the best schools, or made the most money.

Nothing happens by itself... it all will come your way, once you understand that you have to make it come your way, by your own exertions.

I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians. I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.
Usually I am not a conspiracy theorist. I don't believe in the Bilderbergers as a conspiracy or the Trilateralists. But I am certain that the Communists killed JFK. There is a super great book called 'Legend' by Edward Jay Epstein that makes it all perfectly clear.

So many fail because they don't get started - they don't go. They don't overcome inertia. They don't begin.

Every soul deserves a shot at a Cadillac, but not everyone should be guaranteed a Cadillac.

The first step to getting the tings you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.

Emperor Sid Caesar is gone to eternity himself now. He takes with him the gratitude of every one of us who first learned the relief of laughter from this genuinely great performer.

I am about to vote. I am about to do something that human beings are rarely allowed to do. I am doing something that did not exist until America.

Israel being condemned by the EU, which 66 years ago watched with glee as its Jews were being mass murdered. That is pretty rich.

If there are finer beings than German short hairs, I don't know what they are. In their eyes is peace.

I don't like the sound of all the lists he's making.
If we try to engineer outcomes, if we overturn tradition to make everyone the same, we ruin society. If we upset tradition to allow for an equal shot at the starting gate, everyone wins, except for the charlatans and would be dictators.

I spend so much time in fear of going broke, and I never have been even remotely close to going broke.

Hollywood is largely about scammers and con men. It was my main livelihood for about 25 years, and the scams were beautiful and ugly, cheap and expensive, but, wow, were there a lot of scammers.

Running a real business is exacting, daunting, repetitive work. Even in Silicon Valley.

When Hollywood sees a good story about a man who sells confidence, they see themselves and they like it.

I have a great pic of my father and Rev. Graham laughing hysterically at some joke with George Pratt Shultz looking on back in 1972 or so.

I always assumed scientists were free to ask any question, pursue any line of inquiry without fear or reprisal.
