The soldier does not wish to appear a coward, disloyal, or un-American. The situation has been so defined that he can see himself as patriotic, courageous, and manly only through compliance.
Stanley Milgram
Very few people possess true artistic ability. It is therefore both unseemly and unproductive to irritate the situation by making an effort. If you have a burning, restless urge to write or paint, simply eat something sweet and the feeling will pass.
Fran Lebowitz
Develop an attitude of gratitude, and give thanks for everything that happens to you, knowing that every step forward is a step toward achieving something bigger and better than your current situation.
Brian Tracy
One of the hardest things in this world is to admit you are wrong. And nothing is more helpful in resolving a situation than its frank admission.
Benjamin Disraeli
One of the beautiful things about baseball is that every once in a while you come into a situation where you want to, and where you have to, reach down and prove something.
Nolan Ryan
I got into an argument with a girlfriend inside of a tent. That`s a bad place for an argument, because then I tried to walk out and slammed the flap. How are you supposed to express your anger in this situation? Zipper it up really quick?
Mitch Hedberg
The genius of a good leader is to leave behind him a situation which common sense, without the grace of genius, can deal with successfully.
Walter Lippmann
Through humor, you can soften some of the worst blows that life delivers. And once you find laughter, no matter how painful your situation might be, you can survive it.
Bill Cosby
We cannot always control our thoughts, but we can control our words, and repetition impresses the subconscious, and we are then master of the situation.
Jane Fonda
They say I was a bad Batman, that it was my fault, that I buried the franchise. But the truth is, it was a big project. I was pretty intimidated in that world. I did the best I could in the situation I was given.
George Clooney
Acting is a win-win situation. There is no risk involved. That`s why I get tired of hearing actors who try to make out that there`s a downside to it. Fame is an odd thing. It bugs you a little bit, but it`s really not bad.
John Corbett
Working for the studios is no piece of cake. But it`s a trade-off situation, whomever you work for. You have much less creative freedom working for big studios, but they really release your film. By comparison, you have enormous creative freedom working f...

The Chinese censorship system has been in practice for many years. I don`t think there will be much change in society in the short run. This situation has been present for a long time and it is a reality in China. I work and live in this system. There has...
Yimou Zhang
It saddens me every day when people come up and say, `OK, how did you lose that weight?` I can`t speak about it because I am not an authority on weight loss. I am just not. I am not challenged with a medical situation that`s weight-related and that I need...
Renee Zellweger
It`s certainly not an ideal situation. I don`t want to be whipping myself to the point where I have no joy in doing it, you know? But that has been a problem with too many artists -- too much pain and not enough joy. I want to be able to work and enjoy it...
Harry Stanton
The material comes from whenever you realize that you and someone else have something in common. So any conversation you`ve had more than once, anything you see happening to you that you see happening to a friend, you go, `Hmmm, that`s a situation I can m...
Chris Rock
[On motherhood]: I`m open. Adoption is wonderful. I think there are many different ways to do it. I`m an only child, so it`s hard to picture the whole multi-child situation. Cynthia has two children and it is unbelievable the amount of work involved. I ha...
Kristin Davis
[on directing] No "mise en scène" has the right to be repeated, just as no two personalities are ever the same. As soon as a "mise en scène" turns into a sign, a cliché, a concept (however original it may be), then the whole thing - characters, situation,...
Andrei Tarkovsky
I believe that if you truly, truly love your children, you need to supply condoms in a place in your home, at a quantity that makes it a non-judgmental situation for them to have them... If they want to make water balloons out of them, great. If they want...
Sharon Stone
I used to be a pretty serious drinker. Heavy in defiance of knowing my family situation, which is chock-full of alcoholism. For a long time I was a functional alcoholic, though it never got in the way of my work. But it affected relationships. I never kil...
Brian Dennehy
One of the things that strikes me is that no matter how difficult or underprivileged the situation you were living in as a child, it wasn`t considered difficult. I don`t think as children, you are aware of it. You have nothing to compare it to.
Sean Connery
