people
We know what racist people look like. They don't deny it. They just don't!
great obama people
Obama is a great leader. He can fire people up and get them to do what he wants.
good help people pull suffer themselves
I don't want people who are in poverty, in pain, or suffering, to suffer because it's for their own good and they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I want to help them. I want us all to help them.
people
Showbiz is just there to give people something to talk about.
actual died greater number people
When you look at the actual numbers, the number of people who died after 9/11 was greater than the number of people who died in 9/11, even if you are talking Americans. But you know, I don't like to talk Americans. I want to talk everybody. More innocent people died after 9/11 because of 9/11 than died in 9/11.

You have networks for people who bass fish, and another for people who trout fish.
government money people seem stuff themselves
People still seem to think that they should vote themselves money. They seem to think there is stuff which they think is the government's job, when it's really the individual's job.

The vast majority of people who have mental illness problems never hurt anybody.
people treating
It's kind of treating people as adults. Or friends.
thinking compassion people
People need to be fed, medicated, educated, clothed, and sheltered, and if we're compassionate we'll help them, but you get no moral credit for forcing other people to do what you think is right. There is great joy in helping people, but no joy in doing it at gunpoint.
against certainly extremists faithful good paint people plane religious second truly
When 9/11 hit, the second thing I said to myself was, 'This really is what religious people do.' Those people flying the plane were very good, very pious, truly faithful believers. There's no other way to paint them. Of course, they are extremists by definition, but they certainly aren't going against Islam in any real way.
accept anyone art good hard heart laurence liking people reasons smart valid
I think it was Laurence Olivier who said that one of the things you have to accept in art is that when you put your heart into doing something there will be people who don't like it for really good reasons, really smart people who don't like what you've done for very valid reasons. That is hard to accept, that there are really valid reasons for not liking anything. The astonishing thing is that there haven't been many valid reasons for anyone not to like this movie.
mom people whether
My mom, if you asked her if she was interested in whether or not people gambled, would say no.
good gotten people
I read a lot of books to my children, and they all seem really good. I think people have gotten really good at children's books.
