It was from them that I learned that hard work in stable surroundings could yield rewards, even if only in infinitesimally small increments.
There's no such thing as 'facts of life'. Only standing theories that haven't been disproved as of yet.
I've become kind of a haven for people who like pop music, but that's not the only thing they like. They also like music in general and want to be able to expand their own horizons. They haven't completely given up on music and are willing to have somebody mediate new things that are happening in music to them.

A man has cause for regret only when he sows and no one reaps.
Change is the only constant. Hanging on is the only sin.
I had certain physical limitations that made me change the choreography for myself or made me more interested in choreography only rather than dancing. I have never been a person who wanted to just dance. I have always been interested in developing for other people.
There is no such thing as public opinion. There is only published opinion.
I have no idea what a British sensibility or a British sense of humor is. I have no concept of what that is. I have no concept of what American sensibility is. I was born in Great Britain, but I was only there for six months, and we moved to Belgium, where I grew up.
I came home after a year and although my profession was only hairdressing, I knew I could change it.
Here in Israel, we want the boys back home, we demand it from our government, who often pay a steep price to get hostages back. But we need a happy ending. We don't want to deal with those days after release, their post-trauma or reintroduction to society. Yet coming home is only the start of their journey.
What terrified me will terrify others; and I need only describe the spectre which had haunted my midnight pillow.
The way Aventura became successful was so weird. We didn't have a major label. They say everything has a reason, but it's not easy to find. The only thing that was right was the music.
War has become a luxury that only small nations can afford.
As it turns out, social scientists have established only one fact about single women's mental health: employment improves it.
And people coming up asking for autographs, there's only one time when it kind of bothers me: when I'm eating.
Ahh, Earth Day, the only day of the year where being able to hacky-sack will get you laid.
There is only one real deprivation... and that is not to be able to give one's gifts to those one loves most.
I drop my kid off at school and then race home, and it's a very limited time. I can only do really serious writing for a couple of hours. And then I always go on a walk, I do a one-to-two-hour walk; I don't go running or hard hiking.
The more people know about you, the less they can project who you are supposed to be. It's unfortunate that you really only get one shot at that.
An idea that is developed and put into action is more important than an idea that exists only as an idea.
To be sure, the vast majority of people who are untrained can accept the results of science only on authority.
The truth is that a number of us have been saying for quite some time that it was only a matter of time until someone went to a gun show, bought a military-like semi-automatic assault weapon with a large capacity magazine, and did enormous damage.
There are only two occasions when Americans respect privacy, especially in Presidents. Those are prayer and fishing.
The 'peace movement' exists only in the fantasies of the paranoid.

It is an immutable law in business that words are words, explanations are explanations, promises are promises-but only performance is reality.
To be deeply committed to negotiations, to be opposed to a particular war or military action, is not only considered unpatriotic, it also casts serious doubt on one's manhood.
People who think they're generous to a fault usually think that's their only fault.
To me the only real star of the movie is the writer. And I work with writers very closely, from outline to first draft and on to the seventh draft, whatever it takes. Then my job is to support the director to make the best movie we can. Some producers try to go past them, but my job is to support them.
We will not go. The only way to get us there is to come in here with clubs and knock us on the head, and drag us out and take us down there dead.
I'm a forward, but I can't be the only forward at a club. Over the years, the clubs who've won titles have had several strikers.
