I'm surrounded by nothing but great people. I've been blessed with that so really I've got no choice but to be an all-around good person.

Rock 'n' roll is ridiculous. It's absurd. In the past U2 was trying to duck that. Now we're wrapping our arms around it and giving it a great big kiss.

I think one of the great problems we have in the Republican Party is that we don't encourage you to be nasty. We encourage you to be neat obedient loyal and faithful and all those Boy Scout words which would be great around a campfire but are lousy in politics.

To walk around with an ego is a bad thing. To have confidence in yourself is a great thing.

I think in a way I invented the term 'fight club' and that these things have always existed but they never really had a label. Nobody had a language to apply to them. I created that language in two words and I've been paid a great deal of money for inventing two words and labeling something that has always been around.

Seeds of great discoveries are constantly floating around us but they only take root in minds well prepared to receive them.

I have great people smart people that are around me and we love the challenge. I guess it's like climbing a mountain or building a building. It's a challenge but you love every challenge that it brings or presents itself.

I was on the yearbook staff so I would take out film cameras and Nikons and take photos around school and at sporting events and things like that. We had a darkroom as well. I just loved it. I also saved up for a video camera to video my friends and cut and paste the videos together and I gave them to all of my friends for graduation.

One of those promises was to limit the size of government and to have the government serve the people - and not the other way around.

If you have a government that is elected they need to do the hard work - because if they don't they won't be around the next time the ballot box is open.

If you seek Hamilton's monument look around. You are living in it. We honor Jefferson but live in Hamilton's country a mighty industrial nation with a strong central government.

People in government and public life are being kicked around at a high rate of speed.

I believed the only thing that could turn around this government spending and mounting debt would be if the people rose up.

President Reagan was elected on the promise of getting government off the backs of the people and now he demands that government wrap itself around the waists of the people.

Many people around the President have sizeable egos before entering government some with good reason. Their new positions will do little to moderate their egos.

The black market was a way of getting around government controls. It was a way of enabling the free market to work. It was a way of opening up enabling people.

To understand me you have to meet me and be around me. And then only if I'm in a good mood - don't meet me in a bad mood.

You know when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's you know a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time trying to have another good night.

Joyfulness keeps the heart and face young. A good laugh makes us better friends with ourselves and everybody around us.

Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There's still time but not a lot to turn things around.

My eyesight is not nearly as good. My hearing is probably going away. My memory is slipping too. But I'm still around.

I think when you spread the wealth around it's good for everybody.

It is good to express a thing twice right at the outset and so to give it a right foot and also a left one. Truth can surely stand on one leg but with two it will be able to walk and get around.

Good people do not need laws to tell them to act responsibly while bad people will find a way around the laws.
