Winning Trying Hollywood

More From Roger Moore

I win, you win. you win, i win. the gun, i win. the fruit, you win. i win, you win.

And even if we win, if we win, hah! even if we win! even if we play so far above our heads that our noses bleed for a week to ten days; even if god in heaven above comes down and points his hand at our side of the field; even if every man woman and child held hands together and prayed for us to win, it just wouldn't matter because all the really good looking girls would still go out with the guys from mohawk because they've got all the money! it just doesn't matter if we win or we lose. it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter! it just doesn't matter!

You can't win all the contests and then lose at one contest and say, 'why am i not winning this contest as well?' it's random. so truthfully, again, do i wish it weren't me? absolutely. i still can't make that logistic jump to thinking there's a reason why it shouldn't be me.

And i must say tonight that a riot is the language of the unheard. and what is it america has failed to hear? it has failed to hear that the plight of the negro poor has worsened over the last twelve or fifteen years. it has failed to hear that the promises of freedom and justice have not been met. and it has failed to hear that large segments of white society are more concerned about tranquility and the status quo than about justice and humanity.

Truth is found neither in marxism nor in traditional capitalism. each represents a partial truth. historically capitalism failed to see the truth in collective enterprise, and marxism failed to see the truth in individual enterprise. nineteenth century capitalism failed to see that life is social and marxism failed and still fails to see that life is individual and personal. the kingdom of god is neither the thesis of individual enterprise nor the antithesis of collective enterprise, but a synthesis which reconciles the truths of both.

I can find only three kinds of business in the universe: mine, yours and god's. much of our stress comes from mentally living out of our business. when i think, "you need to get a job, i want you to be happy, you should be on time, you need to take better care of yourself," i am in your business. when i'm worried about earthquakes, floods, war, or when i will die, i am in god's business. if i am mentally in your business or in god's business, the effect is separation.

Similar Quotes

There is a terrific disadvantage in not having the abrasive quality of the press applied to you daily. even though we never like it, and even though we wish they didn't write it, and even though we disapprove, there isn't any doubt that we could not do the job at all in a free society without a very, very active press.

The 'tonight show' didn't seem like an actual job that you could have. all you remember is you watched johnny carson, and you never thought he would retire.

The words themselves are clean, so are the things to which they apply. but the mind drags in a filthy association, calls up some repulsive emotion. well, then, cleanse the mind, that is the real job. it is the mind which is the augean stables, not language.

My first job was as an assistant in the local library. self fulfilling prophecy?
