A friend at school was always being laughed at because his father emptied dustbins for a living. But those who laughed worshipped famous footballers. This is an example of our topsy-turvy view of 'success.' Who would we miss most if they did not work for a month, the footballer or the garbage collector? David Icke Actually, bizarrely, in America, I get more appreciation from the odd, unusual stuff I've done, almost because I'm not, if you like, famous in America as I am in England. Steve Coogan Among famous traitors of history one might mention the weather. Ilka Chase And to me, fame is not a positive thing. The idea of being famous is a lot better than the reality.

Tom Felton Andy Warhol made fame more famous. Fran Lebowitz Bill Cosby is a famous black guy who has a bully pulpit the size of ...

Our experience is composed rather of illusions lost than of wisdom acquired. Joseph Roux People grow through experience if they meet life honestly and courageously. This is how character is built. Eleanor Roosevelt Real love is a permanently self-enlarging experience. M. Scott Peck Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. Helen Keller Skill is the unified force of experience, intellect and passion in their operation. John Ruskin Sleep - the most beautiful experience in life - except drink. W. C. Fields Take control of your consistent emotions and begin to consciously and deliberately reshape your daily experience of life.

A single soul dwelling in two bodies. Aristotle When you choose your friends, don't be short-changed by choosing personality over character. W. Somerset Maugham Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit. Aristotle You can always tell a real friend: when you've made a fool of yourself he doesn't feel you've done a permanent job. Laurence J. Peter

What is man's ultimate direction in life? It is to look for love, truth, virtue, and beauty. Shinichi Suzuki What I've discovered is that in art, as in music, there's a lot of truth-and then there's a lie.

The president and I sat down in the Oval Office, and he expressed very clearly that what he wants from me is my best professional military advice. David Petraeus The reason people need advice on using social media is that they’re a much more complex and nuanced way to communicate than a conversation or email. Alexis Ohanian The wisest advice I ever received regarding the kitchen came from my mother: ‘Do the dishes while you’re cooking.’ Lela Rose The worst piece of advice I’ve gotten in my whole career is from somebody who said, ‘Remember, it’s all about likeability.’ Clive Owen There is nothing more hateful than bad advice.

Perhaps the soundest advice for parents is: Lighten up. People have been raising children for approximately as long as there have been people. George Will Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us. John C. Maxwell Quit now, you’ll never make it. If you disregard this advice, you’ll be halfway there.
