You go ask any founder of any company why he or she did it, you will never hear, "I wanted to create jobs for the community" as the number one, number two, number three, number four, number five, number 10 reason for doing so.

Salma HayekLike an hourglass with a certain number of grains of sand within it, God has appointed your life to last only a certain number of days, and you have absolutely no idea how many there are.... In God's presence, consider: I have no idea when my life will end. All I know is that death will come for me eventually. Am I doing anything to prepare for the real possibility that God may call me, sooner rather than later? If he called me into eternity today, would I be ready?

Just as a closet is a limited amount of space into which you must fit a certain number of objects, a schedule is a limited space into which you must fit a certain number of tasks.

Julie MorgensternWe know it (meat eating) is indisputably the number one cause of global warming. So what does it mean exactly to be an environmentalist on a daily basis if you are not thinking about the number one cause of global warming or one of the top two or three causes of all other environmental problems? Does it mean you are necessarily someone who doesn't care about the environment? Obviously not, but it might mean you have a blind spot for something big.

Bruce LeeThe only way we get better is to look in the mirror, assess our strengths and weaknesses, and figure out where we need to go. But if we run around saying, we're number one, we're number one, and we're not, that doesn't help us get where we need to go.
Arne DuncanI always believed that my work should be unfinished in the sense that I encourage people to add their creativity to it, either conceptually or physically.

Finally, it's critical that we remove stigma and that's why we've made a film, to show that this can happen to anyone.

FuturePeople need to understand; I may have been very innocent. Didn't understand the devil. Didn't understand any of that. You can only push a child so far. You have laws; number one.

But after a certain while, they knew when they had pushed their luck with me, and that it was time to, you know, maybe back off.

Ted LeonsisIn the United States we have concentrated tremendous sums of money on the educational plant, seemingly with the idea that the right number of buildings will turn out the right number of graduates.

If in the future we find ourselves with a lot of fourth-rate citizens, we have only ourselves to blame.
Louis L'AmourWe have to deal with reality. The reality is, we have a number a very high number of illegal immigrants in this country. They're meeting an important economic need.
