“No, I think you have to earn your way into politics. I don't think that anything is ever given to you.”

George W. Bush (1946) 43rd President of the United States

Bush: ‘You have to earn your way into politics,’ nothing ‘is ever given to you’, David Edwards, Raw Story, http://www.rawstory.com/rs/2014/11/george-w-bush-you-have-to-earn-your-way-into-politics-nothing-is-ever-given-to-you/, 2014-11-22]

“You must not think of what you learned as belonging to you. Your learning was only possible because of the people who taught you.”

Koichi Tohei (1920–2011) Japanese aikidoka

41
Ki Sayings (2003)
Context: You must not think of what you learned as belonging to you. Your learning was only possible because of the people who taught you. If you forget this, before you know it you fall under the illusion that you are the only one who can do it, or the only one who understands. This is called being full of yourself. It is wrong to think, ‘I am strong’, because this strength is nothing but weakness turned inside out. You must think how to act within universal principles.

Martin Scorsese (1942) American film director, screenwriter, producer and actor

“Now I've been hangin' 'round you for days,
Bt when I lean in you just turn your head away.
Oh no, you didn't mean that.
She said I love the way you think, but I hate the way you act.”

“I don't think it's so important who you vote for — you vote for who you believe in. The important thing is to vote, because it's our way and it's the best way.”

Cass Elliot (1941–1974) American singer

Appearance on The Midnight Special in August 1972 in a Get Out The Vote drive; as quoted at the official Cass Elliot website.

“You have to have some psychological insight, you have to know the people and you must work in a way that’s acceptable to them. There you must smile — never laugh, because that’s considered making fun. Smile, take your time, and never come bursting in with your own personality. You have to lie low. Of course you can push and perhaps raise your voice a notch, but like a sensitive emulsion, a sensitive plate. Approach gently, tenderly, and never intrude, never push. Otherwise, if you use your elbows, it will work against you. Above all, be human!”

Henri Cartier-Bresson (1908–2004) French photographer
