hate moon russia
Wow, bad news. Mr. Obama now hates Israel because the Israelis want to build 1,600 apartments in their own capital city, Jerusalem. Russia hates Israel, too. So do the Europeans. So does Ban Ki-moon, a Korean who is secretary-general of the UN.
country hate dollars
We are mortgaging ourselves to foreigners on a scale that would make George Washington cry. Every day - every single day - we borrow a billion dollars from foreigners to buy petroleum from abroad, often from countries that hate us. We are the beggars of the world, financing our lavish lifestyle by selling our family heirlooms and by enslaving our progeny with the need to service the debt.

decide life step
The first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: Decide what you want.
cause market revert sensible traders
Traders can cause short-term volatility. In the long run, the market must revert to a sensible price/earnings multiple.

We're a lazy, undisciplined generation. I don't exempt myself: I spend way too much, even though I make a good income.

You can do what you think you can do and you cannot do what you think you cannot
eggs shopping insane
I do all of the grocery shopping in my little family. I buy cheese, of many different kinds, sliced packaged meats and poultry, bagels, immense quantities of eggs, pre-made fried chicken. Milk. Bacon. It is insane how much dairy, deli and bakery stuff I buy.
armor body camera consider doubles fine front heat man million paid role shot stand standing star stars stunt wearing
I don't consider an actor a star if he's paid $20 million and grimaces in front of the camera and has a stunt man stand in for him. They may be fine actors, but they're not role models. The real stars are wearing body armor in 130-degree heat . . . They're getting shot at and they don't have any stunt doubles standing in for them.
advancing leap pyramid slowly step sudden towards
There is no sudden leap into the stratosphere. There is only advancing step by step, slowly and tortuously, up the pyramid towards your goals.
hung looks
It looks awfully expedient. Things went down and down and down, and we hung in there with smoothing. Now that we're up, we're conveniently 'resetting' (the assets).
people long friendly
I'm out and about meeting people all day long. And I'm very friendly; I talk to just about everybody I meet.
jobs fun best-job
I have talent at playing myself. I don't have a very broad range, but at playing myself I am a wizard. It's more than fun; it's the best job on Earth.
taken lucky damn
I feel as if I'm in on a pass and am damn lucky to have whatever I have. It could all be taken away in a second.
