Andy StanleyCapitalism is always in danger of inspiring men to be more concerned about making a living than making a life.

You are connected to this mystery, you are a microcosm of the universe, and every aspect of your life benefits from the universe's provision.

It's brought me closer to my art and put me in the right place as far as having people around me. It's very inspiring, but I miss our little town. There's something very simple and beautiful about growing up in a small place. That's where my heart is, for real.

Gigi HadidI haven't done it by myself at all. I've been surrounded by a really, really good crew of all ages. I think it's important to have a good age range in the crew so that some of us have experienced that period, or something close to that. But the script, of course, is really inspiring and you just have to trust that. Sometimes on film a glass can be as big as a car, so if the details are right, then they take up as much space on screen as the streets that we didn't have a chance to show as London really has changed since then.
Lone ScherfigThe interaction between math and physics is a two-way process, with each of the two subjects drawing from and inspiring the other.

But altogether, the two interact in a virtuous circle of mutual influence.

John Frederick DemartiniEvan Handler is a man whoโs looked into the abyss and laughed. His book, Itโs Only Temporary, made me laugh along with him. He covers love, lust, showbiz, triumph, and despair โ and he manages to be both funny and inspiring about all of it. Itโs an important book that I think can help to spread goodness around the world. Something we desperately need.
Lance ArmstrongI have a hard time with historians because they idolize the truth. The truth is not uplifting; it destroys. I could tell most of the secretaries in the church office building that they are ugly and fat. That would be the truth, but it would hurt and destroy them. Historians should tell only that part of the truth that is inspiring and uplifting.
Boyd K. PackerThose who have changed the universe have never done it by changing officials, but always by inspiring the people.
Napoleon BonaparteAs an artist, I identify with Sandro Botticelli. We know him as the man who painted Primavera and The Birth Of Venus. The goddesses and ancient subjects he chose represented virtues which were meant to inspire people. Then he went through a dark phase when he was listening to the sermons of Savonarola, who preached against the worldly pleasures of the Renaissance. But Botticelli's works live on, inspiring people to this day. Five hundred years after his death, he still has thousands of fans!
