God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
Reinhold Niebuhr
By placing discretion in the hands of an official to grant or deny a license, such a statute creates a threat of censorship that by its very existence chills free speech.
Harry A. Blackmun
Without question, the greatest invention in the history of mankind is beer. Oh, I grant you that the wheel was also a fine invention, but the wheel does not go nearly as well with pizza.
Dave Barry
Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those people I had to kill because they pissed me off!
Sarah Ferguson
I did become quite well known from "Four Weddings", and it helped hugely. I wasn`t as famous as Hugh Grant, but I certainly began to work. I couldn`t complain. It got me jobs in the theatre. I went for endless auditions for tiny parts in obscure plays and...

If you want to make a movie, make it. Don`t wait for a grant, don`t wait for the perfect circumstances, just make it. - Giving advice to young aspiring filmmakers at the 1994 Independent Spirit Awards
Quentin Tarantino
I can`t portray Bing Crosby, I`m Cary Grant. I`m myself in that role. The most difficult thing is to be yourself - especially when you know it`s going to be seen immediately by 300 million people.
Cary Grant
[on Cary Grant] Cary`s enthusiasm made him search for perfection in all things, particularly the three that meant most to him -- filmmaking, physical fitness and women.
David Niven
I appeared with many leading men. But working with Cary Grant was different from working with other actors - he was much more fun! I think we were a successful team because we enjoyed working together tremendously, and that pleasure must have shown throug...
Irene Dunne
I`m going to retire hopefully like Cary Grant did. I`ll be on stage telling a story, everyone`s going to applaud and laugh and then I`ll drop like a rock.
Burt Reynolds
I`m almost hysterical at the thought of making people cry with joy 30-odd years after Cary [Grant] and I did our stuff. I`ve certainly shed tears at "An Affair to Remember", even though I know all the tricks of movie magic that went into it. Believe me, C...

[about his most famous misquoted line:] "I never actually said, `Nnng-you dirty ra-at!` What I actually said was [imitating Cary Grant]: `Judy! Judy! Judy!`"

A reporter in search of information wired Grant`s agent: "HOW OLD CARY GRANT?" Grant happened to read the message himself, and wired back "OLD CARY GRANT FINE. HOW YOU?"

Cary Grant
My problem is that I`m not a handsome man like Cary Grant, who will be handsome at 65. I may be able to do a few more man-woman things before it`s too late, but then what? I never want to play silly old men chasing young girls, as some of the stars are do...
John Wayne
[of his position at "The Daily Show" (1996)]: I mostly work on writing the show. We have a talented crew of writers and I`m like the managing editor. I am the fake Lou Grant of the fake news world. [February 2003].
Jon Stewart
[on Cary Grant] I learned many things working with Cary Grant. He has such tremendous concentration. Many actors do not have the courage to stand still. Cary Grant knows how to concentrate, how to look directly at you, but always with great relaxation.
