There's a difference between someone who's 'harsh' and someone who is 'hard.' Life was hard. You lived in the South, as my grandparents did, and you had to survive. That is hard. In order to respond to that, he had to become a hard man, with very hard rules, very hard discipline for himself, very hard days, hard work, et cetera.

Clarence Thomas

Never have anything to do with likes and dislikes. The absence of what one likes is painful, as is the presence of what one dislikes. Therefore don't take a liking to anything. To lose what one likes is hard, but there are no bonds for those who have no likes and dislikes. From preference arises sorrow, from preference arises fear, but he who is freed from preference has no sorrow and certainly no fear.

Gautama Buddha

I find it very hard to approach people. I take a very long time to open up and become friends with someone.

Kriti Kharbanda

We are all searching for someone, that special person, who will provide what's missing in our lives -- One who can offer companionship, assistance or security. And sometimes when we can search very hard who can provide us with all three. Yes, we are all searching for someone. And if we can't find them we can only pray they find us.

Mary Alice

God teaches you to forgive people when they mistreat you. That's something that we have to do as Christians, as children of God. It's very hard to do. It's very, very hard. When someone lies on you, when someone tries to ruin your reputation, because everyone knows what kind of person I am.

Anthony Macias

Actors are exposed in a way that nobody else can understand. They are subject to the likes and dislikes of people their entire life, no matter how successful they are. At the same time, in order to be liked, you have to not be yourself. So it's a very complicated human exercise - an alchemy that I have never understood.

Alejandro Gonzalez Inarritu

You really need to love something or someone in order to work hard enough to be very successful. You have to believe in something and have a certain optimism.

Maya Soetoro-Ng

Every failing organisation has the same stories, people find it very hard to learn from the most successful organisations and people.

Dominic Cummings

People have an idol they want to be like and try to follow what the idols did. But when you do, you find out you're not very successful and you're not very happy. You try to copy these models, and it doesn't yield successful results.

Clayton M. Christensen

No author dislikes to be edited as much as he dislikes not to be published.

Russell Lynes

She had that thing most people don't have - curiosity. She might not have always got the right answers, but she wanted to ask the questions. It's very hard if you are interested in ideas and all that, ideas and the philosophies of the past, it's very hard to find someone around here to really talk to. That's the tragedy of the thing really I mean, when you think about it. Certainly I can't find anyone around here to talk to anymore. And for a woman it's even harder you see. They can feel very trapped - because of the patriarchy. I do feel everyone needs to have these little chats now and then.

Zadie Smith

The truest test of independent judgment is being able to dislike someone who admires us, and to admire someone who dislikes us.

Sydney J. Harris

When you stop making excuses and you work hard and go hard you will be very successful.

DJ Khaled

It's hard to criticize someone who's hugely successful.

Daniel Ek

Because if you don't know someone all that well, you react to their surface qualities, the superficial stereotypes-they throw off like sparks. But once you fight through the sparks and get to the person, you find just that, a person, a big jumble of likes, dislikes, fears, and desires.

Dorothy West

It was incredible being on tour with Taylor Swift: she was the epitome of a professional, and she works so hard. For someone as successful as her to work that hard every night - truly inspirational.

Shawn Mendes
