Because women of color were more likely to be in the paid labor force, they were more likely to recognize discrimination, so they were always leading the women's movement.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
Because women still earn just 77 cents for every dollar men make. Those pennies add up to real money.
‐‐ Lilly Ledbetter
Because work takes up a lot of time, you have to choose your moments for really letting rip. I hang out with my friends and my family and I spend time with my kids when I'm not working. They don't see my being an actor as exotic. For them, it's just an everyday thing. Sometimes it's amusing to them and other times, embarrassing.
‐‐ Aidan Gillen
Because you are a great lord, you believe yourself to be a great genius. You took the trouble to be born, but no more.
‐‐ Pierre Beaumarchais
Because you basically won a close re-election, your first task is to unify the city. And it's done not with words but with actions, by reaching out, to the supporters of your opponent as well as to reassure your own supporters.
‐‐ Marc Morial
Because you can be lazy if you don't know the truth.
‐‐ Meg White
Because you can't change results - I would change my losses, and I would definitely like to see on-court coaching.
‐‐ Brad Gilbert
Because you can't do anything halfway, you've got to go all the way in anything you do.
‐‐ Jerry Bruckheimer
Because you can't write habitually and well all the time, you have to be willing to write badly. That's how you get the regularity that enables you to be present for the good stuff.
‐‐ Jennifer Egan
Because you don't live near a bakery doesn't mean you have to go without cheesecake.
‐‐ Hedy Lamarr
Because you have things like 'American Idol' and you've got radio stations that play music made entirely by computers, it's easy to forget there are bands with actual people playing actual instruments that rock.
‐‐ Dave Grohl
Because you know, down deep in my heart, when all is said and done, I still live under the illusion that basically people think of me as an up-and-coming young actor.
‐‐ Jack Nicholson
Because you know how you say I've got to really get down and really do some training and then of course, you never do or you do it for a couple of weeks and slough it back off again but I'm being forced to do something that I really want to do and I loved it.
‐‐ David Carradine
Because, you know, I can't work a bicycle pump.
‐‐ Judi Dench
Because, you know, it's never a hard work when you enjoy yourself. Look, I've been here since 57 years, and I don't have to explain why I've stayed so long. I always enjoyed it.
‐‐ John Hench
Because, you know, resilience - if you think of it in terms of the Gold Rush, then you'd be pretty depressed right now because the last nugget of gold would be gone. But the good thing is, with innovation, there isn't a last nugget. Every new thing creates two new questions and two new opportunities.
‐‐ Jeff Bezos
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you.
‐‐ Bono
Because, you know, you're in Utah. And because of its political conservatism, if you can make it there, you can make it anywhere.
‐‐ Robert Redford
Because you're a crime writer you're asked to have a point of view on a lot of things, and I'm uncomfortable having public opinions on things that are not my professional area.
‐‐ Asa Larsson
Because you're fat, you feel that everybody's watching every bite you take. So, you closet-eat, and you think because nobody sees you eating, then you're not eating. You know, if you're eating a Big Mac in a closed car, can anybody hear you nosh? If I ate only what people saw me eat, I would've probably been about 170 pounds.
‐‐ Al Roker
Because you're not what I would have you be, I blind myself to who, in truth, you are.
‐‐ Madeleine L'Engle
Because you're telling a story, and I'm sure people fifty years ago would tell the same story differently if they were telling it to you today. Because the time is different. The film is the work of today's audience.
‐‐ Dennis Muren
Because, you see, what I want to do is to commoditize the OS. I want to have access to all the applications that I need to do the things that I need to do, regardless.
‐‐ Jamie Zawinski
Because you've done the horrible jobs, it gives you an even grittier determination to succeed.
‐‐ Rob James-Collier
Because you want to have competition to drive down the price. You want innovation. You have the ability to get people to agree that it's worth having a public plan. You could get private insurers to cover this population, but you couldn't without giving the population leverage in the marketplace.
‐‐ Maria Cantwell
Because your own strength is unequal to the task, do not assume that it is beyond the powers of man; but if anything is within the powers and province of man, believe that it is within your own compass also.
‐‐ Marcus Aurelius
Because YouTube is focused on a lot of different types of content at the same time, it has many opportunities, and the hardest thing is to figure out which ones you shouldn't do, and focus on the ones you should.
‐‐ Robert Kyncl
Beck said he didn't believe in the theory of a song coming through you as if you were an open vessel. I agree with him to a certain extent.
‐‐ Sheryl Crow
Beckett had an unerring light on things, which I much appreciated.
‐‐ Harold Pinter
Beckett's 'Stories and Texts for Nothing' is probably my favorite book.
‐‐ Franz Wright
Beckham? His wife can't sing and his barber can't cut hair.
‐‐ Brian Clough
Beckham is a nice man and I'm sure he will reach 100 appearances for England. But he is just a good player, nothing more.
‐‐ Diego Maradona
Beckham is unusual. He was desperate to be a footballer. His mind was made up when he was nine or ten. Many kids think that it's beyond them. But you can't succeed without practising at any sport.
‐‐ Bobby Charlton
Become a beacon of enhancement, and then, when the night is gray, all of the boats will move towards you, bringing their bountiful riches.
‐‐ James Altucher
Become a fixer, not just a fixture.
‐‐ Anthony J. D'Angelo
Become a student of change. It is the only thing that will remain constant.
‐‐ Anthony J. D'Angelo
Become a worry-slapper. Treat frets like mosquitoes. Do you procrastinate when a bloodsucking bug lights on your skin? 'I'll take care of it in a moment.' Of course you don't! You give the critter the slap it deserves. Be equally decisive with anxiety.
‐‐ Max Lucado
Become addicted to constant and never-ending self-improvement.
‐‐ Anthony J. D'Angelo
Become an internationalist and learn to respect all life. Make war on machines. And in particular the sterile machines of corporate death and the robots that guard them.
‐‐ Abbie Hoffman
Become dust - and they will throw thee in the air; Become stone - and they will throw thee on glass.
‐‐ Muhammad Iqbal
Become more accepting. With every interaction, surrender any tendency to judge another person. Pray for a more accepting heart.
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
Become so wrapped up in something that you forget to be afraid.
‐‐ Lady Bird Johnson
Become your dream.
‐‐ James De La Vega
Become your dream, and not be told what you are supposed to do.
‐‐ Katori Hall
Becoming a bird ecologist was just luck! I had the chance to be a field assistant for a scientist working in the Galapagos Islands, and while I was there, I saw a particular problem in behavioral biology that I wanted to solve and, in the process, made myself into a bird ecologist.
‐‐ David J. Anderson
Becoming a coach has to be in your blood. There are hundreds and thousands of former athletes out there, but there are maybe only 10 people who want to dedicate their lives by taking on a job as a coach. Not only a master, a coach should also be a brother or sister to his apprentices.
‐‐ Joe Taslim
Becoming a CoverGirl is truly an honor and a gift. It opens up a new platform for me to inspire women to feel stronger, braver and more beautiful inside and out.
‐‐ Janelle Monae
Becoming a father has made my life a lot more interesting. It's like everything slows down because time goes slower, and you notice that you're actually awake for so many more hours. Your waking hours elongate because you're doing things at a child's pace.
‐‐ Aidan Gillen
Becoming a father, I think it inevitably changes your perspective of life. I don't get nearly enough sleep. And the simplest things in life are completely satisfying. I find you don't have to do as much, like you don't go on as many outings.
‐‐ Hugh Jackman
Becoming a father increases your capacity for love and your level of patience. It opens up another door in a person - a door which you may not even have known was there. That's what I feel with my son. There's suddenly another level of love that expands. My son is my greatest joy, out of everything in my life.
