The first thing I do every day when I wake up is thank God for letting me make it through the night and giving me another day of life – just because sometimes I wake up, and I cannot believe I’m doing what I’m doing.

You don’t have to live up to anyone else‘s standards, you don’t have to look like anyone else, you don’t have to compare yourself to anyone else.

Most of me was glad when my mother died. She was a handful, but not in a cute, festive way. More in a life-threatening way, that had caused me a long time ago to give up all hope of ever feeling good about having had her as a mother.
111
I love food, all types of food. I love Korean food, Japanese, Italian, French. In Australia, we don’t have a distinctive Australian food, so we have food from everywhere all around the world. We’re very multicultural, so we grew up with lots of different types of food.

Let me get you to understand I don’t bully anybody. I stand up for what I believe in and I’m very honest and I always tell the truth. I’m not a liar, I’m not manipulative and I don’t stab you in your back because I will stab you in your chest.

150
151

162
If you look at it ecologically, deforestation is high on the list of things which bring devastation. You cut down trees to build homes, for fuel, and you end up with no trees left, and you have to move on. If you take the earth as a whole, eventually there’s nowhere to move on to.
163
164
I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don’t see how I can ever trust any human being again.

The void, the concept of nothingness, is terrifying to most people on the planet. And I get anxiety attacks myself. I know the fear of that void. You have to learn to die before you die. You give up, surrender to the void, to nothingness.

190
191

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.
198
Manufacturing is more than just putting parts together. It’s coming up with ideas, testing principles and perfecting the engineering, as well as final assembly.
199

202
People tell you the world looks a certain way. Parents tell you how to think. Schools tell you how to think. TV. Religion. And then at a certain point, if you’re lucky, you realize you can make up your own mind. Nobody sets the rules but you. You can design your own life.
203
204
If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

Amateurs wait for inspiration. The real pros get up and go to work.

213
214
Nothing makes you feel better than when you get into a hotel bed, and the sheets feel so good. Why shouldn’t you wake up like that every day? Spend money on your mattress and bedding because these things make a difference on your sleep and, ultimately, your happiness.
215
216
When I went out on tour as Bing Hitler I would hook up with Lenny and we’d get drunk together. He was always very supportive. He was a big star and a lot of what he said to me had power and impact. Apart from that, I just like him.

218
It’s the friends you can call up at 4 a.m. that matter.

224
225
226
227
Don’t sit down and wait for the opportunities to come. Get up and make them.
228
229
For me, I think one of the biggest battles is mentally. You have good days, and you have bad days. Randomly, you’ll feel good for weeks, and then all of a sudden, you’ll have a bad day where you’re really sore. And you end up questioning yourself, like, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Why is this so hard?’
230
Every cliche about kids is true; they grow up so quickly, you blink and they’re gone, and you have to spend the time with them now. But that’s a joy.
231
232
233
The moment the alarm goes off is the first test; it sets the tone for the rest of the day.

If you have the discipline to get out of bed, you win – you pass the test.
234

241
Don’t give up on your dreams, or your dreams will give up on you.
242

243
244
245
Even the knowledge of my own fallibility cannot keep me from making mistakes. Only when I fall do I get up again.

248
249
The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter – for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.
250
251
252
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.
253

257

259
We can choose to wake up and grumble all day and be bitter and angry and judge others and find satisfaction in others doing bad instead of good. Or we can we wake up with optimism and love and say, ‘Just what is this beautiful day going to bring me?’
260
261
Everyone has different paths. I’ve been lucky to have a good support system – my family, friends and colleagues to keep me grounded and humble and to keep working hard. I never give up.
262
263
Go up in an airplane. Go high enough, and it’s like we don’t even exist.
264
265
266
Things go up and down. If you can survive the down, it will come back.
267
268
269
270
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
271
I didn’t want a pickup with mud tires. I wanted an old blazer with as many speakers in the back as I could afford. I would even steal them out of my brother’s car and pack them in there. I remember sitting in a parking lot and turning my radio up and walking down the street to see how far you could feel it.
272
273
274
Frisbeetarianism is the belief that when you die, your soul goes up on the roof and gets stuck.

276
My beliefs are that good people who work hard get their rewards. There will be struggle at times and hurdles along the way – life throws up all sorts – but in the end, you will prevail if you stick to the right path.
277
278
279
280
281
Each Warrior wants to leave the mark of his will, his signature, on important acts he touches. This is not the voice of ego but of the human spirit, rising up and declaring that it has something to contribute to the solution of the hardest problems, no matter how vexing!
282
283
284
Organizing is what you do before you do something, so that when you do it, it is not all mixed up.
285
Having a baby is a life-changer. It gives you a whole other perspective on why you wake up every day.
286
I basically taught myself how to DJ, but I’ve been inspired by DJs throughout my whole career. I have some good friends that would hook us up with music. You learn some little things here and there from each DJ and you just take it and put your own style into to it.
287
288
289
290
You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it’s all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
291
292
293
294
Your life is yours and yours alone. Rise up and live it.
295

302
303
304
305
306
Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand. They’re connecting with the audience that they want to connect to. It’s almost a disadvantage if you’re not on it now.
307
308
It’s great if the in-laws themselves put up boundaries. But if they won’t; it’s up to their grown kids to do it and enforce them.
309
It’s like gambling somehow. You go out for a night of drinking and you don’t know where your going to end up the next day. It could work out good or it could be disastrous. It’s like the throw of the dice.
310

Oprah‘s got good politics, she’s got a good heart, and she’ll have us all up Jazzercising at six in the morning. This cannot be a bad thing, and reading a book while we’re Jazzercising. So America would be better off if Oprah were president.
319
Stand up to your obstacles and do something about them. You will find that they haven’t half the strength you think they have.
320
An increased push for energy efficiency, renewable energy technology, electric mobility – along with the growing digitalization movement and a universal carbon pricing structure – would speed up the carbon-free future and the rise of a global middle class we desperately need. We can and must all do our part.
321
I didn’t come up as a DJ, so I don’t play by DJ rules.
322
323
324
325
326
To me, punk is about being an individual and going against the grain and standing up and saying ‘This is who I am’.
327
Just remember, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
328
Stay true to yourself, yet always be open to learn. Work hard, and never give up on your dreams, even when nobody else believes they can come true but you. These are not cliches but real tools you need no matter what you do in life to stay focused on your path.
329
330
Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun.
331
College isn’t in everyone’s hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn’t mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.
332
You’ve got to get up every morning with determination if you’re going to go to bed with satisfaction.
333
I grew up never seeing myself on-screen, and it’s really important to me to give people who look like me a chance to see themselves. I want to see myself as the hero of any story. I want to see myself save the world from the bomb.
334
Social media, unfortunately, just makes it a lot easier to be jealous. It sets up false expectations of reality, so it’s really easy to look at someone else’s life online and assume that they have everything going great for them and that their life is perfect.
335
336
337
I’d hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that’s as good as you’re going to feel all day.
338
When your dream is bigger than you are, you only have two choices: give up or get help.
339
I feel sorry for people who don’t drink. When they wake up in the morning, that’s as good as they’re going to feel all day.
340
341
As long as you as an individual… can convince yourself that in order to move forward as best you can you have to be optimistic, you can be described as ‘one of the faithful,’ one of those people who can say, ‘Well, look, something’s going to happen! Let’s just keep trying. Let’s not give up.
342
Maybe all one can do is hope to end up with the right regrets.
343

There have to be reasons that you get up in the morning and you want to live. Why do you want to live? What’s the point? What inspires you? What do you love about the future? If the future does not include being out there among the stars and being a multi-planet species, I find that incredibly depressing.
346
347
Flaming enthusiasm, backed up by horse sense and persistence, is the quality that most frequently makes for success.
348
Giving up smoking is the easiest thing in the world. I know because I’ve done it thousands of times.
349
All national institutions of churches, whether Jewish, Christian or Turkish, appear to me no other than human inventions, set up to terrify and enslave mankind, and monopolize power and profit.
350
Follow your dreams, believe in yourself and don’t give up.
351
Remember, you can always stoop and pick up nothing.
352
You can’t give up! If you give up, you’re like everybody else.
353
354
Really, every day is the perfect day to boss up. Every day that you wake up is a perfect day to boss up. It’s all about continuing to put one foot in front of the next. That’s what it’s about. Whatever you think you’re going through, just put one foot in front of the next.
355
356
Many are called but few get up.
357
358
I ain’t giving up on myself, so if you give up on me, I ain’t got nothing else to say for you.
359
360
If you’re bored with life – you don’t get up every morning with a burning desire to do things – you don’t have enough goals.
361
362
Online business models are still evolving. New and different products and services pop up every day. This gives rise to supporting products and services. A business can make substantial profit by helping others execute their plans for making money.
363
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
364
365
Everything is a learning process: any time you fall over, it’s just teaching you to stand up the next time.
366
Decisions are made by those who show up.
367
If you’re climbing the ladder of life, you go rung by rung, one step at a time. Don’t look too far up, set your goals high but take one step at a time. Sometimes you don’t think you’re progressing until you step back and see how high you’ve really gone.
368
369
I don’t know. Only God knows where the story ends for me, but I know where the story begins. It’s up to us to choose, whether we win or lose and I choose to win.
370
371
People who work sitting down get paid more than people who work standing up.
372
There are going to be good times and bad times, but lighten up.
373
People feel repressed by their own governments; they feel unfairly treated by the outside world; they wake up in the morning, and who do they see – they see people being shot and killed: all Muslims from Afghanistan, Iraq, Somalia, Sudan, Darfur.
374
375
376
Acting is standing up naked and turning around very slowly.
377
378
Though I am a shy person at heart, I explode as a volcano once I open up with people around me, and then I am all fun.
379
Success comes from taking the initiative and following up… persisting… eloquently expressing the depth of your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life?
380
381
I woke up one day and thought, ‘Enough is enough with bullying myself.’ The war is within you, and that’s also where it’s won. You just have to tackle your insecurities and then let them go.
382
The image is one thing and the human being is another. It’s very hard to live up to an image, put it that way.
383
Freedom from effort in the present merely means that there has been effort stored up in the past.
384
Get up, stand up, Stand up for your rights. Get up, stand up, Don’t give up the fight.
385
386
387
Success is different for everyone; everybody defines it in their own way, and that’s part of what we do in ‘Close Up’, finding what it was each person wanted to achieve and what their willingness to sacrifice for that was.
388
I’m most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. He’s given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully I’ll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do.
389
390
391
War can only be abolished through war, and in order to get rid of the gun it is necessary to take up the gun.
392
393
Well, there’s not a day goes by when I don’t get up and say thank you to somebody.
394
395
Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail.
396
When I wake up every morning, I thank God for the new day.
397
Get up. Stand up. Speak up. Do something.
398
The time your game is most vulnerable is when you’re ahead; never let up.
399
If you fell down yesterday, stand up today.
400
Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture… Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.
401
402
I was not willing to give up because I was born to like taking risks and that is my way of life.
403
404
Fixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done.
405
I suspect that even most conservatives would prefer to live in the kind of world conjured up in the liberals‘ imagination rather than in the kind of world we are in fact stuck with.
406
Life is designed to knock you down. It will knock you down time and time again, but it doesn’t matter how many times you fall – it matters how many times you get back up.
407
I’ve always tried to go a step past wherever people expected me to end up.
408
409
Ever up and onward.
410
Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative – don’t wait for someone else to ask you to act.
411
412
413
There are no shortcuts to success. You have to believe in yourself, and never give up.
414
415
Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.
416
So many times, people told me I can’t do this or can’t do that. My nature is that I don’t listen very well. I’m very determined, and I believe in myself. My parents brought me up that way. Thank God for that. I don’t let anything stand in my way.
417
Be thankful for what you have; you’ll end up having more. If you concentrate on what you don’t have, you will never, ever have enough.
418
Men often make up in wrath what they want in reason.
419
420
421

The trick is growing up without growing old.
423
424
Everything will line up perfectly when knowing and living the truth becomes more important than looking good.
425
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
426
427
428
An unexamined faith is not worth having, for fundamentalism and uncritical certitude entail the rejection of one of the great human gifts: that of free will, of the liberty to make up our own minds based on evidence and tradition and reason.
429
430
431
I respect all religions, but I’m not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn’t brought up in a religious way, but I believe there’s something out there that looks after you.
432
Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.
433
You can learn new things at any time in your life if you’re willing to be a beginner. If you actually learn to like being a beginner, the whole world opens up to you.
434
435
436
437
438
I’m just someone who grew up in a small village.
439
True love, to me, is when she’s the first thought that goes through your head when you wake up and the last thought that goes through your head before you go to sleep.
440
I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.
441
I have learned that as long as I hold fast to my beliefs and values – and follow my own moral compass – then the only expectations I need to live up to are my own.
442
443
444
445
There is no better exercise for your heart than reaching down and helping to lift someone up.
446
All human wisdom is summed up in two words; wait and hope.
447
448
449
If I win, it’s a bonus. If I lose, the sun still comes up the next day, and it’s all good.
450
Don’t make friends who are comfortable to be with. Make friends who will force you to lever yourself up.
451
452
When you’re doing something you’re not used to, you kind of realize that you’re still a kid: even though the whole world around you sees you as an adult and you’re expected to act like an adult, you still haven’t actually grown up.
453
454
455
456
457
Life is made up of marble and mud.
458
We need to accept that we won’t always make the right decisions, that we’ll screw up royally sometimes – understanding that failure is not the opposite of success, it’s part of success.
459
My mom has always been my support system. She taught me to never give up and to keep pursuing my passions no matter what.
460

It takes courage to grow up and become who you really are.
462
463
A champion is someone who gets up when he can’t.
464
Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.
465
Sometimes I wish that I was the weather, you’d bring me up in conversation forever. And when it rained, I’d be the talk of the day.
466
Just remember your thoughts control your whole reality. Everything you think of you can accomplish. Your thoughts are your reality. People realize that and everybody would be up.
467
Don’t ever take a fence down until you know why it was put up.
468
I am a fighter. I never give up.
469
470
When you get to know a lot of people, you make a great discovery. You find that no one group has a monopoly on looks, brains, goodness or anything else. It takes all the people – black and white, Catholic, Jewish and Protestant, recent immigrants and Mayflower descendants – to make up America.
471
472
Well, I think we tried very hard not to be overconfident, because when you get overconfident, that’s when something snaps up and bites you.
473
There’s a time in your life where you’re not quite sure where you are. You think everything’s perfect, but it’s not perfect… Then one day you wake up and you can’t quite picture yourself in the situation you’re in. But the secret is, if you can picture yourself doing anything in life, you can do it.
474
You have to have a dream so you can get up in the morning.
475
I feel very lucky to have grown up having interaction with adults who were making change but who were far from perfect beings. That feeling of not being paralyzed by your incredible inadequacy as a human being, which I feel every day, is a part of the legacy that I’ve gotten from so many of the adult elders.
476
Every morning I wake up and thank God.
477
478
479
I always cheer up immensely if an attack is particularly wounding because I think, well, if they attack one personally, it means they have not a single political argument left.
480
Life began with waking up and loving my mother’s face.
481
If you resolve to give up smoking, drinking and loving, you don’t actually live longer; it just seems longer.
482
483
In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, ‘Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.’
484
I don’t focus on what I’m up against. I focus on my goals and I try to ignore the rest.
485
I’m really living my dream so if I were to change anything up, I probably wouldn’t be where I am.
486
487
If you can’t do it, give up!
488
I absolutely adore cows. They’re the most fascinating, gentle and beautiful animals. Their eyes are so amazing. I have ten that live on the land around my house. I love to talk to them. There are few things better than falling asleep in a field and being woken up by an inquisitive cow.
489
I’d read up on the history of our country and I’d become fascinated with the story of the Alamo. To me it represented the fight for freedom, not just in America, but in all countries.
490
491
492
We live in a society of victimization, where people are much more comfortable being victimized than actually standing up for themselves.
493
494
If you fall behind, run faster. Never give up, never surrender, and rise up against the odds.
495
496
You’ve got to grow up sometime.
497
We need someone who will stand up and speak up and speak out for the people who need help, for people who are being discriminated against. And it doesn’t matter whether they are black or white, Latino, Asian or Native American, whether they are straight or gay, Muslim, Christian, or Jews.
498
499
500
I never, ever grew up as a young woman believing that my gender would stand in the way of doing anything I wanted.
501
502
503
Your ups and downs in sports, I think they are as normal as daily life: One day you wake up and feel great, the next day you wake up and feel maybe less great.
504
The biggest and most deadly ‘tax’ rate on the poor comes from a loss of various welfare state benefits – food stamps, housing subsidies and the like – if their income goes up.
505
To me, it’s not the end of the world if I end up not being with someone. I love romance. I love sex. I love men’s company, but I don’t feel I have to be married. Men are a wonderful part of life, like chocolate. But my life goes on whether they’re there or not.
506
You can only hate someone whom you have the capacity to love, because if you are really indifferent, you cannot even get up the enough energy to hate him.
507
508
509
Wisdom doesn’t necessarily come with age. Sometimes age just shows up all by itself.
