She believed in nothing; only her skepticism kept her from being an atheist.
I think being an atheist is something you are, not something you do.
I was being groomed to be a tennis player for sure. My grandparents and parents realised I had a natural athletic ability and if I was forced to do it, I could probably do well. But all I wanted was to play pretend.
I didn't dream about being a director. I didn't know I wanted to do something with film until the summer between my sophomore and junior years at Morehouse College in Atlanta, Georgia.
As human beings, our greatness lies not so much in being able to remake the world - that is the myth of the atomic age - as in being able to remake ourselves.
The systematic murder of Christians in the Middle East is a horrible atrocity, and all of us should be united against it. Likewise, we should speak with one voice against the persecution of Jews, usually being carried out by the very same jihadist radicals.
I saved a girl from being attacked last night. I controlled myself.
A human being is not attaining his full heights until he is educated.

I just really don't like being the center of attention that much. It's kind of ironic.
Today's children have very short attention spans because they are being reared on dreadful television programmes which are flickering away in the corner.
Just remaining quietly in the presence of God, listening to Him, being attentive to Him, requires a lot of courage and know-how.
It's always been my dream to be an attorney, and I'm that weird breed of human being that loves being in a courtroom.
At some point, you grow out of being attracted to that flame that burns you over and over and over again.
By staying focused on what I intend to create, by believing that the universe is all-providing, and by knowing that I'm worthy of the unlimited beneficence of the Source of being, I just keep attracting prosperity to me.
Where youth and diffidence are united, it requires uncommon steadiness of reason to resist the attraction of being called the most charming girl in the world.
Women have a lot of... attitudes enforced in us about our sense of attractiveness being bound up in long, flowing, Hollywood kind of hair.
I have also seen children successfully surmounting the effects of an evil inheritance. That is due to purity being an inherent attribute of the soul.
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
