Jeb Bush, I appreciate you. You a leader. You a Bush.

Friends applaud, the comedy is over.

One of the finest statesmen of the present time is also a first-class scout, and that is Mr. Roosevelt, the late President of the United States of America.

Being ‚contented‘ ought to mean in English, as it does in French, being pleased. Being content with an attic ought not to mean being unable to move from it and resigned to living in it; it ought to mean appreciating all there is in such a position.

I’m grateful for always this moment, the now, no matter what form it takes.

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.

My main focus is always to do well on the field for the Indian cricket team. When people say good things about me off the field, I am more than happy to accept them.

In my entire life, any time I’ve ever lost something, I’ve gotten something even better going around the next corner. It’s like one door closes and another door opens. As long as I can walk through the produce section in every grocery store in this country and eat the grapes that they’re going to throw away, I know I can be fine.

Not life, but good life, is to be chiefly valued.

My kids are coming up in a different time then me. Interracial couples are of the norm. With me, it’s about making sure my kids understand the importance of education and having opportunities that I didn’t. My goal as a parent is to make sure they don’t take what they have for granted.

Have you not noticed that love is silence? It may be while holding the hand of another, or looking lovingly at a child, or taking in the beauty of an evening. Love has no past or future, and so it is with this extraordinary state of silence.

We see God face to face every hour, and know the savor of Nature.

Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.

I resent the implication that I’m less of a musician and a worse person for not appreciating certain works.

If it’s good music, it’s good music.

I believe that my parents did wonderful things for us.

Everybody loves you when you’re six foot in the ground.

Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.

The greatest compliment that was ever paid me was when one asked me what I thought, and attended to my answer.

Never say there is nothing beautiful in the world anymore. There is always something to make you wonder in the shape of a tree, the trembling of a leaf.

The art of acceptance is the art of making someone who has just done you a small favor wish that he might have done you a greater one.

If my world were to cave in tomorrow, I would look back on all the pleasures, excitements and worthwhilenesses I have been lucky enough to have had. Not the sadness, not my miscarriages or my father leaving home, but the joy of everything else. It will have been enough.

What, sir, would the people of the earth be without woman? They would be scarce, sir, almighty scarce.

We all remember Abraham Lincoln as the leader who saved our Union. Founder of the Republican Party.

It is not sufficient to see and to know the beauty of a work. We must feel and be affected by it.

The best part of beauty is that which no picture can express.

The making of the far-famed New York Central Park was opposed by even good men, with misguided pluck, perseverance, and ingenuity, but straight right won its way, and now that park is appreciated. So we confidently believe it will be with our great national parks and forest reservations.

I am not the first Buddha who came upon Earth, nor shall I be the last. In due time, another Buddha will arise in the world – a Holy One, a supremely enlightened One, endowed with wisdom in conduct, auspicious, knowing the universe, an incomparable leader of men, a master of angels and mortals.

We should not look down on our first ancestors.

The golden moments in the stream of life rush past us, and we see nothing but sand; the angels come to visit us, and we only know them when they are gone.

Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.

Go to foreign countries and you will get to know the good things one possesses at home.

Everywhere I go, the kids call me ‚the book lady.‘ The older I get, the more appreciative I seem to be of the ‚book lady‘ title. It makes me feel more like a legitimate person, not just a singer or an entertainer. But it makes me feel like I’ve done something good with my life and with my success.

World belongs to humanity, not this leader, that leader or that king or prince or religious leader. World belongs to humanity.

When we really worship anything, we love not only its clearness but its obscurity. We exult in its very invisibility.

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical rose garden over the horizon instead of enjoying the roses that are blooming outside our windows today.

Sometimes we look back and 10 years from now we think, ‚Boy, those were great old days.‘ Well, you know, we’re living in the good old days.

Deficiency motivation doesn’t work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.

Fame will go by and, so long, I’ve had you, fame. If it goes by, I’ve always known it was fickle. So at least it’s something I experience, but that’s not where I live.

Until I feared I would lose it, I never loved to read. One does not love breathing.

It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.

Someone has to die in order that the rest of us should value life more.

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.

People don’t realize what they had till it’s gone. Like President Kennedy, there was no one like him, the Beatles, and my man Elvis Presley. I was the Elvis of boxing.

I’ve always loved black culture; I don’t know any other way to put it. Since I was a kid I loved music and early jazz, Sly and the Family Stone. I’m older – I’m in my early 50s – so you’ll have to excuse me. That was always very exciting to me to connect to the culture on that level.

It was such a leap in my career when ‚Truman Show‘ came along. It’s always been a long process for me insofar as recognition goes, but that’s OK because you appreciate it when it comes.

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.

I would maintain that thanks are the highest form of thought, and that gratitude is happiness doubled by wonder.

Delhi means everything to me. This city has given me everything, and I love it.

I love to sit and eat quietly and enjoy each bite, aware of the presence of my community, aware of all the hard and loving work that has gone into my food.

That it will never come again is what makes life sweet.

For awhile after you quit Keats all other poetry seems to be only whistling or humming.

As I’ve said, there were patriots who supported this war, and patriots who opposed it. And all of us are united in appreciation for our servicemen and women, and our hopes for Iraqis‘ future.

Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.

What we have once enjoyed we can never lose. All that we love deeply becomes a part of us.

I am indebted to my father for living, but to my teacher for living well.

I want to thank you for taking time out of your day to come and witness my hanging.

If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.

No better way is there to learn to love Nature than to understand Art. It dignifies every flower of the field. And, the boy who sees the thing of beauty which a bird on the wing becomes when transferred to wood or canvas will probably not throw the customary stone.

Understand, when you eat meat, that something did die. You have an obligation to value it – not just the sirloin but also all those wonderful tough little bits.
