When the party gives me a responsibility, I must do it with complete dedication. God has given me the ability, which I utilise to its optimum.

Why did I become Jackie Chan? Mostly because I work very hard. When people were sleeping, I was still training.

Is science of any value? I think a power to do something is of value. Whether the result is a good thing or a bad thing depends on how it is used, but the power is a value.

I fear that there are too many priesthood bearers who have done little or nothing to develop their ability to access the powers of Heaven.

I think of a hero as someone who understands the degree of responsibility that comes with his freedom.

We all have limitations. I don’t have the right genes to be an Olympic weightlifter. I don’t have the right genetics to be an Olympic sprinter. Or gymnast. Sure, if I trained my whole life, perhaps I could have become fairly decent in those sports.

The moment you are old enough to take the wheel, responsibility lies with you.

We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world or to make it the last.

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.

Great bodies of people are never responsible for what they do.

We need an adult in the White House. When making life-or-death, war-or-peace decisions, a president can’t just pop off or lash out irrationally.

Conscientious people are apt to see their duty in that which is the most painful course.

I’m always amazed by the people who work on stage who sing night after night, day after day, week in week out.

Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all.

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.

My first job in all honesty is going to continue to be mom-in-chief. Making sure that in this transition, which will be even more of a transition for the girls… that they are settled and that they know they will continue to be the center of our universe.

With every word we utter, with every action we take, we know our kids are watching us. We as parents are their most important role models.

You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don’t seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.

Everyone has the potential to become an encourager. You don’t have to be rich. You don’t have to be a genius. You don’t have to have it all together. All you have to do is care about people and initiate.

Cleveland fans are awesome.

People think because I’ve got some success, I’ve made it, but in my eyes it’s like, ‚How long has Jay Z been in the business? How many albums has he got?‘ Not that I’m trying to be Jay Z, but I am trying to be around for a long time.

Leadership is a choice, not a position.

The root of this possibility of doing good – that we all have – is in creation.

There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.

I train and I go home, and when I’m home, I think about training. That’s my life every day, and that’s it.

A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best; but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.

If you ask the CEO of some major corporation what he does, he will say, in all honesty, that he is slaving 20 hours a day to provide his customers with the best goods or services he can and creating the best possible working conditions for his employees.

I wasn’t very good in academics, but I could have been if I could have studied well. I was a smart kid.

Just like every person who works for Dortmund is a fan of the club, it was the same at Mainz. When I was a player there, we had 800 supporters on rainy Saturday afternoons, and if we died, no one would notice or come to our funeral. But we loved the club, and we have this same feeling at Dortmund.

Some people say that the climate crisis is something that we will have created, but that is not true, because if everyone is guilty then no one is to blame. And someone is to blame.

I’ll do whatever it takes to win games, whether it’s sitting on a bench waving a towel, handing a cup of water to a teammate, or hitting the game-winning shot.

Ability without honor is useless.

My mom cleaned toilets for a long time, and she’d seen a lot of terrible things, but she was still the strength of our family. And there are women like that all across the country – all around the world – who show that type of fortitude.

I’ve been writing my entire life, and I’ll always write.

I think you have a moral responsibility when you’ve been given far more than you need, to do wise things with it and give intelligently.

If you get your ego in your way, you will only look to other people and circumstances to blame.

I have to work really hard to get the record deal – I have to spend years at it to get good. I have to practice to be good at guitar.

When you are laboring for others let it be with the same zeal as if it were for yourself.

I do think there is a lot of potential if you have a compelling product and people are willing to pay a premium for that. I think that is what Apple has shown. You can buy a much cheaper cell phone or laptop, but Apple’s product is so much better than the alternative, and people are willing to pay that premium.

Whatever I have tried to do in life, I have tried with all my heart to do it well; whatever I have devoted myself to, I have devoted myself completely; in great aims and in small I have always thoroughly been in earnest.

You cannot be in a position of power and destroy the life of another person.

I am in the fighting game. I don’t care about anything else. I don’t watch the news, I don’t care about politics, I don’t care about other sports. I don’t care about anything I don’t need to care about. This is my sport: it is my life. I study it; I think about it all the time. Nothing else matters.

I always wanted to do things right and represent myself as somebody that took the art serious and someone that took the business serious also, so I had time to weigh the options and figure it out and do my best to create the situation that was ideal.

I talk about myself in the third person all the time. I don’t live my life in the way someone like you does. I live my life completely serving only my work and my fans.

Unwearied ceaseless effort is the price that must be paid for turning faith into a rich infallible experience.

Most people have the opportunity of a lifetime flash right in front of them, and they fail to see it. A year later, they find out about it, after everyone else got rich.

A leader who doesn’t hesitate before he sends his nation into battle is not fit to be a leader.

I had never been in charge of anything. I’d always worked for someone. I worked for a furniture warehouse. I did masonry. I always had a boss yelling at me. So I’d never been in charge of an organization.

My job is to play quarterback, and I’m going to do that the best way I know how, because I owe that to my teammates regardless of who is out there on the field with me.

I know of only one duty, and that is to love.

When we see the face of a child, we think of the future. We think of their dreams about what they might become, and what they might accomplish.

The New Testament says nothing of Apostles who retired and took it easy.

I’ve always felt toward the slightest scene, even if all I had to do in a scene was just to come in and say, ‚Hi,‘ that the people ought to get their money’s worth and that this is an obligation of mine, to give them the best you can get from me.

I am a very emotional guy. What I love, I do with all I have.

If I could, I would not do anything else. I’d just be in the studio for my whole life. I would never go to parties, events, and red carpets. I would rather just be in the studio for the whole time. I don’t even care. Nobody has to know what I look like. I just want to make music.

Of all that is written, I love only what a person has written with his own blood.

When Southern people tell us they are no more responsible for the origin of slavery than we are, I acknowledge the fact. When it is said that the institution exists, and that it is very difficult to get rid of it in any satisfactory way, I can understand and appreciate the saying.

I always say, decisions I make, I live with them. There’s always ways you can correct them or ways you can do them better. At the end of the day, I live with them.
