A Quote by Ronald Reagan

Do what's right and you'll please some of the people and astound the rest. — © Ronald Reagan
Do what's right and you'll please some of the people and astound the rest.
When I was a teenager, I was trying to please people. I kept changing who I was to please the people I was with. And so once I just decided I wasn't going to do that anymore. I was going to live my life to please God. And so from that day to this, that's been my aim. Some people don't understand, but you can't please everybody anyway.
You can't please everybody, right? Some people are supporters. Some people are against you.
Oh God, God, please come to me, please illumine me, please act in me and through me. I don't know what's right and what's wrong. I can't tell anymore. I could be doing what I feel is right and perhaps I'm deceiving myself. Perhaps it's all my ego and my vanity. Please show me what's right or don't even show me. Please just do it, whether it brings me happiness or unhappiness, riches or poverty, sorrow or joy. Please act in and through me. I love only you.
Always do what is right. It will gratify half of mankind and astound the other.
I can't please everybody and I don't try to. If I can please myself that's enough. For the rest, I just hope for the best.
When I was first writing, my little prayers were, 'Please, please, please. Let something be published someday.' Then it went to, 'Please, please, please. Let somebody read this.'
Please, please, please - I would love to do some comedy. Once you have a reputation for one thing - in my case, crying and dying - you are typecast.
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
People in life quote as they please, so we have the right to quote as we please. Therefore I show people quoting, merely making sure that they quote what pleases me
What I want to do is make films that astonish people, that astound people, and I hope you want to do that too. It's easy to make money. It's easy to make films like everybody else. But to make films that explode like grenades in people's heads and leave shrapnel for the rest of their lives is a very important thing. That's what the great filmmakers did for me. I've got images from Fellini, from Bergman, from Kurowsawa, from Bunuel, all stuck in my brain.
I think that we have to do our job well, investigate thoroughly and then describe very honestly what we see to the Security Council. And some of the things might please people there and other things may not please the people.
Please, please, please, please, please...,", squeezing his eyes shut because it somehow made the words more pure.
Nothing is ever good enough for some of these people, you know? You're either too big, too small, your makeup isn't right, your hair's not right, all the rest but that's the world we live in.
I think a nap or a rest overnight is great. But who needs three days of rest? Please! The second day, you might die.
Ah, in every age there is always some new wonder to astound mankind until they grow accustomed to it and lose interest.
Please act in and through me. Please let my love increase, if it is your will. I feel that's the right thing; but even if it's not the right thing, I'm willing to abide by your judgment.
