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

The artist part of me always wants to be appreciated. I read every review. But I never wanted to seek validation by awards or anything controlled by politics.

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

Be a player; don’t play yourself. And don’t play basketball. That’s not your sport, Jeb Bush.

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.

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

As a sportsperson, the best thing is people recognising you and loving you for what you do. For me, glamour is 100 people in the hotel feeling happy to see you.

I am grateful for what I am and have. My thanksgiving is perpetual.

The ideas associated with the problems of the development of science, as far as I can see by looking around me, are not of the kind that everyone appreciates.

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.

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

The only things one can admire at length are those one admires without knowing why.

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

I was always very curious as a young man about why older writers who I met seemed so indifferent to what was going on, whereas I, in my 20s, was reading everything. Everything seemed important. But they were only interested in the writers they admired when they were young, and I didn’t understand it then, but now, now I understand it.

The way to love anything is to realize that it may be lost.

Pay attention, don’t let life go by you. Fall in love with the back of your cereal box.

I always joke that my kids‘ favorite holiday is Father’s Day. They love the way I celebrate the occasion by writing each of them a thank-you letter and a generous check. It’s my way of letting them know how much I appreciate the great pleasure and privilege of being their dad.

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.

Always have something beautiful in sight, even if it’s just a daisy in a jelly glass.

To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.

We’ve got this gift of love, but love is like a precious plant. You can’t just accept it and leave it in the cupboard or just think it’s going to get on by itself. You’ve got to keep watering it. You’ve got to really look after it and nurture it.

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

There are very few people who really appreciate my shows. People come to the show and they pay and they enjoy it, but I don’t really think most people really understand what they’ve seen.

If I’m a star, then the people made me a star.

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.

I believe that my parents did wonderful things for us.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive – to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love.

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

I owe the best of myself to geology, but everything it has taught me tends to turn me away from dead things.

My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.

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

There is so much that people take for granted.

For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.

I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puff Daddy cover a song, to have Goldie come along to my gigs – that’s where my ego is at. To have my fellow musicians like what I do, that’s very cool.

At the end of the day, your fans are the people who support you in and out. And their opinions matter.

There is not a sprig of grass that shoots uninteresting to me.

All I can do is try to create my own brand and have people appreciate me for that.

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

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 is just that we should be grateful, not only to those with whose views we may agree, but also to those who have expressed more superficial views; for these also contributed something, by developing before us the powers of thought.

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

Next to excellence is the appreciation of it.

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

It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you’re living your life. I wouldn’t compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it’s about a man who doesn’t appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.

It’s nice, I think, when people use your music for things you didn’t think of.

The roots of all goodness lie in the soil of appreciation for goodness.

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.

Tell your wife often how terrific she looks.

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.

It may be possible to gild pure gold, but who can make his mother more beautiful?

It is, after all, the responsibility of the expert to operate the familiar and that of the leader to transcend it.

I love those who do not know how to live for today.

Art! Who comprehends her? With whom can one consult concerning this great goddess?

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

We should not look down on our first ancestors.

There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.

I care to live only to entice people to look at Nature’s loveliness. Heaven knows that John the Baptist was not more eager to get all his fellow sinners into the Jordan than I to baptize all of mine in the beauty of God’s mountains.

When the well is dry, they know the worth of water.

I like not only to be loved, but also to be told I am loved.

Nature study will show you how full of beautiful and wonderful things God has made the world for you to enjoy. Be contented with what you have got and make the best of it. Look on the bright side of things instead of the gloomy one.

I’m screamingly funny, you know, I really am in the books. And that helps because I’m funnier than a lot of people, I think, and that’s appreciated by young people.
