Gilbert K. ChestertonWhen you travel you realize how small you are. You need to be humble. You can't be a big, brash American. You think you have problems. You leave the States and you see people have bigger problems than you, much worse problems than you. They have nothing to eat, they have no water, they have no shelter, they have a terrible government. So you realize we complain about the government, we complain about food, whatever it is, and go somewhere else and you think, "Now I realize," you say, "Why people want to come to America."

Joni Eareckson TadaYou want to make a difference in your world? Live a holy life: Be faithful to your spouse. Be the one at the office who refuses to cheat. Be the neighbor who acts neighbors.

People are watching the way we act more than they are listening to what we say.

I don't care if they're on their phone. Believe me, if you ever want to watch my early films they would look a lot better on your phone than they would on a movie screen. The smaller the better.
John WatersWhen things aren't going well, I complain a lot and get depressed. I whine and I eat and I go to sleep. I do all kinds of things.

But you just have to wait it out and have faith that that dry well will fill up again.

Rosario DawsonCustomers should complain more. You know, food's expensive nowadays. And these sommeliers come along with their thousand-page wine list and practically throw it in your lap.

Come back to me with a choice.'
Gordon RamsayEvery year I hear people complain that the quality of screenplays and movies is declining.

Jeff HardyOne problem I have with talking about myself in the context of class divisiveness is that I can be - and indeed have been - used by others to demonstrate its absence and that it's only a matter of hard work to move upward socially.

But this is nonsense as an argument quite aside from its empirical absurdity because no single case can invalidate a statistical claim.

Stefan MolyneuxIf we are not empty, we become a block of matter. We cannot breathe, we cannot think. To be empty means to be alive, to breathe in and to breathe out. We cannot be alive if we are not empty. Emptiness is impermanence, it is change. We should not complain about impermanence, because without impermanence, nothing is possible.
