I will admit that we are attracted to issues that unify people rather than divide them.

Bono

I'm somebody who tries to remain positive and looks forward to setting goals and reaching them. But that's easier said than done.

CM Punk

The medieval university looked backwards; it professed to be a storehouse of old knowledge. The modern university looks forward, and is a factory of new knowledge.

Thomas Huxley

I mean, we are tribal by nature, and sometimes success and material wealth can divide and separate - it's not a new philosophy I'm sharing - more than hardship, hardship tends to unify.

Colin Farrell

People nowadays talk about issues as if they're reading lines off a teleprompter. They recite what they read and echo it without thinking. It has become easier to divide people than to unify them, and to blind them than to give them vision. We are no longer unified like a bowl of Cheerios. Instead, we have become as segregated as a box of Lucky Charms. Every day we see the same leprechauns on TV acting like they're the experts of everything.

Suzy Kassem

Hollywood looks backwards and tries to repeat. And we really try not to do that. We don't always succeed, but I really think that what we try and do is different.

Jason Blum

When you feel that you are at the end of your path and there is a ten foot high brick wall right there in front of you, and you have nowhere to go but backwards, break down that wall and move forward. There are great and wonderful things on the other side of that wall... and, they have always been there. Let nothing divide you from what you need to do in life, and see the solutions that are right in front of you. The key is, you must break down what separates you from them and choose to find them.

Rich Barnes

My satisfaction is the people. They are very in love with what I represent for them. I represent what my grandfather did for Italy, a new generation, a future for the youth: a commitment in life, not just passing by.

Alessandra Mussolini

Through searching out origins, one becomes a crab. The historian looks backwards, and finally he also believes backwards.

Friedrich Nietzsche

I represent poor people, I represent working people. I represent senior citizens. I represent family businesses. I represent people who don't have the wherewithal to hire overpriced Washington lobbyists and lawyers. I want to send the powers back to the states and the people.

Paul Broun

I look forward to continuing to represent the people I'm currently serving, as well as the new communities that will be a part of this district in the future.

William R. Keating

Music can be healing, and with my history and my knowledge of both sides of what looks like a gigantic divide in the world, I feel I can point a way forward to our common humanity again.

Cat Stevens

I think we need to find more reasons to unify rather than divide each other.

T.I.

If Donald Trump takes the nation backwards, we can lead as a state and move forward. It is up to us to stand in opposition to anything that would take Colorado backwards.
