Equality is attainable as long as you are part of the majority.
Cold, hungry, scared as hell inside, but too damn brave to admit it.
I'm coming from a place that's more experimental and indulgent already, so for the last 10 years, it's been more like, "How can I defend my own sensibilities by writing a nugget of a little catchy pop song?" That's how I'm stretching myself, by writing something really simple.
Buy when everyone else is selling and hold until everyone else is buying. That's not just a catchy slogan. It's the very essence of successful investing.
In 1942 Cachao wrote a tune for Arcao, 'Rareza de Melitn,' with a memorable catchy tumbao. In 1957 Arcao recorded a reworking of it under the name 'Chanchullo'; and in 1962 Tito Puente reworked that into 'Oye como va,' still with that same groove. In this form, audibly the same, it powered Carlos Santana's multiplatinum 1970 cover version, close to three decades after Cachao first played it.
No matter what they tell you, no matter what they do, no matter what they teach you, what you believe is true.
Ric Flair is one of the most entertaining guys to sit down with and by entertaining I don't mean he has catchy phrases, but that he's been through so much and his experiences are so genuine I could listen to him talk all day.
So sure, start with a slogan. But don't bother wasting any time on it if you're merely going for catchy. Aim for true instead.
False hope is nicer than no hope at all.
If your intuition is telling you not to do something, then don't. Your intuition is not stupid.
That which does not kill you will ultimately make you stronger.
The first songs I wrote were catchy, but the subject matter was God.
We heard about the Smiths later, through friends. What attracted us was how they could get across the meaning of the lyric through the tone of the vocal. A lot of bands just try to be catchy. The Smiths wanted to be more.
The believer is happy. The doubter is wise.
I never liked anyone who didn't have a temper. If you don't have a temper, you don't have any passion.
I could get a T-shirt that says 'All in for Week 4 of the Preseason. ' That's not quite as catchy, and I don't have an endorsement deal with an apparel company. Maybe someone will sign me now. I don't make enough money to get fined. Maybe I'll get a deal with some off-brand or something that sells at Walmart or something.
I try to think of something catchy to say, but there's nothing but irritation that something that was funny yo an eleven-year-old boy is still funny to a seventeen-year-old one.
Everyone is entitled to be wrong about their opinions, but no one has the right to be wrong about their facts.
If it hurts, DON'T DO IT AGAIN.
Every reform was once a private opinion.
