Find fault with thyself rather than with others.
I don't believe that recordings should sound radically better than the artist, I think that's dishonest. For example, I'm not a great singer but if I spent enough time tweaking my vocals, I could sound like one. But I don't, what you hear is pretty much what I sing.
I believe we all agree that, for the health of Kansas, nothing is more important than education.
I love my son more than anything. I will do whatever it takes to make sure he is raised the right way.
The world is infinitely more complex than it appeared to me 15 years ago.
People, even more than things, have to be restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed, and redeemed; never throw out anyone.
Sir Walter, with his 61 years of life, although he never wrote a novel until he was over 40, had, fortunately for the world, a longer working career than most of his brethren.
Few things are more important to each individual's future success or to our nation's prosperity than education.
There is no sea more dangerous than the ocean of practical politics none in which there is more need of good pilotage and of a single, unfaltering purpose when the waves rise high.
For example, lead paint in old houses can be a greater threat to children's health than lead that may be under some industrial site where there are no children.
It is easier to keep half a dozen lovers guessing than to keep one lover after he has stopped guessing.
It means that, in fact, it's - whether fascist is the right word I don't know - more of a plutocracy than anything resembling a democracy; it has become a nation controlled by a very small, very wealthy elite.
I really loved what the guys were doing more than anything, how high they jumped, how effortless it was.
I'm a designer of more than clothes. I am a designer of a very creative concept.
On a school day, I practice for two hours and more than half a day on weekends.
Bluegrass has brought more people together and made more friends than any music in the world. You meet people at festivals and renew acquaintances year after year.
A lot of times you'll hear bands and it's a different sound coming out than what's on stage. Because you can clean it up through a PA and make it sound completely different than what they really sound like.
I had a couple of million dollars' worth of... stock once. And now it's not worth much more than wallpaper. I guess I just wasn't born to be rich.
Married love between man and woman is bigger than oaths guarded by right of nature.
I began directing episodes, which was a great light every couple of months. We never short-changed our audience, but it became something that you had to work at rather than something that was a pleasure.
Sometimes, I feel like my lyrics meander a little bit, and our songs are so big I need to write more words than are necessary.
I would rather have a million friends than a million dollars.
The older generation had greater respect for land than science. But we live in an age when science, more than soil, has become the provider of growth and abundance. Living just on the land creates loneliness in an age of globality.
I hope to live long and be happy. But I'd like to be remembered as somebody who did good rather than mischief.
The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.
It's a risk, but I'm sort of ready to let go of thinking of movies as books that you can watch. The notion of, 'If I put the narrative blocks in the right order, this will solve all of my storytelling problems.' No, it won't, and you end up with little more than books on film.
Faith is more basic than language or theology.
Sometimes, I feel promoting a film is a more difficult task than acting!
It is a sign of my mother's determination, confidence, and creativity that more than 50 years after launching the renowned Ebony Fashion Fair show, her timeless sense of style endures as a guidepost for today's fashion-loving women.
For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies.
I truly believe that you have to bring more content to the table to survive in radio than saying, 'There was AC/DC, and here's Journey,' because computers can do that.
I know the game wasn't a classic, but the night was about more than that-it was about bringing back the memories and raising money for former heroes who have now fallen on hard times.
Well I tried to, but I could never write anything that I liked or was worthwhile. I threw it all out and realized that I had to make a serious study- that my tastes were far more advanced than my abilities.
No authority is higher than reality.
Foie gras is sold as an expensive delicacy in some restaurants and shops. But no one pays a higher price for foie gras than the ducks and geese who are abused and killed to make it.
Growth is usually uncomfortable. If you're looking for comfort, you will more than likely feel tired and old earlier than you want, and the misery of your caged soul will always be looming nearby.
