Whatever road I take, the guiding star is within me; the guiding star and the loadstone which point the way. They point in but one direction. They point to me.

Ayn Rand

An entertainment property - specifically, a wrestling property - you have to have a decision maker. You have to have somebody who sits on top, that is guiding the ship, that makes the decisions.

Jeff Jarrett

The world is only tolerable because of the empty places in it...when the world's filled up, we'll have to get hold of a star. Any star. Venus, or Mars. Get hold of it and leave it empty. Man needs an empty space somewhere for his spirit to rest in.

Doris Lessing

Portable property is happiness in a pocketbook.

Jane Austen

The way I see it, if you declare something portable, you'll always be wrong, and if you declare it non-portable, you'll always be right.

Larry Wall

It doesn't require expropriation or confiscation of private property or business to impose socialism on a people. What does it mean whether you hold the deed or the title to your business or property if the government holds the power of life and death over that business or property?

Ronald Reagan

One ideological claim is that private property is theft, that the natural product of the existence of property is evil, and that private ownership therefore should not exist... What those who feel this way don't realize is that property is a notion that has to do with control - that property is a system for the disposal of power. The absence of property almost always means the concentration of power in the state.

Daniel Patrick Moynihan

I've always believed in myself and I've always put the work in to get to not only be an all-star but be an all-star for a long time. That's my goal. I think about these things and I feel like I have the ability to do it.

Pascal Siakam

That evening, rowing on the quiet river as sunset turned to dusk, I saw an occasional smoky smudge on the towpath, always slightly ahead of me, like a dark star guiding me home.

Deborah Harkness

The talent that has to be learned is finding out what someone's passion is and setting them up to realize that. You don't get the best work from people if you're guiding them versus them guiding themselves.

Pete Cashmore

I've always put the work in to not only get be an All-Star, but be an All-Star for a long time. That's my goal.

Pascal Siakam

Time and the Ocean and some guiding star and High Cabal have made us what we are.

Winston Churchill

The function of an ideal is not to be realized but, like that of the North Star, to serve as a guiding point.

Edward Abbey

Miss Goldman is a Communist; I am an Individualist. She wishes to destroy the right of property, I wish to assert it. I make my war upon privilege and authority, whereby the right of property, the true right in that which is proper to the individual, is annihilated. She believes that co-operation would entirely supplant competition; I hold that competition in one form or another will always exist, and that it is highly desirable it should.

Voltairine de Cleyre

In England, ballet is kind of closed. They are opening up a little bit, but it was always something not for the general public. So you don't get fame, like a football star or a film star. And if you don't get fame, you can't do other stuff.

Sergei Polunin

I'm not really a movie star. No matter what I do in acting, whether I'm good, how much work I get, whatever, I never will be a movie star. Because I never think of myself as one. You are a movie star because you think of yourself as a movie star and always have.

Lauren Hutton
