As a driver, you've always got to believe in your heart that you've got what it takes to win it. You've always got to believe in yourself. You've always got to arrive on the day and believe it can happen. You've always got to believe in the positives.

I have never, ever focused on the negative of things. I always look at the positive.

You shall always find what you created in your mind, for instance, a benevolent God or an evil Devil. Between them are countless facets. Therefore, concentrate on the depth of your consciousness and on what you consider to be positive and good.

A President cannot always be popular.

A lot of times people look at the negative side of what they feel they can't do. I always look on the positive side of what I can do.

Talking is always positive. That's why I talk too much.

Always turn a negative situation into a positive situation.

The learner always begins by finding fault, but the scholar sees the positive merit in everything.

In this world of sin and sorrow there is always something to be thankful for; as for me, I rejoice that I am not a Republican.

The Vice-Presidency is sort of like the last cookie on the plate. Everybody insists he won't take it, but somebody always does.

It is our experience that political leaders do not always mean the opposite of what they say.

I always voted at my party's call, and I never thought of thinking for myself at all.

If you have always believed that everyone should play by the same rules and be judged by the same standards, that would have gotten you labeled a radical 60 years ago, a liberal 30 years ago and a racist today.

I'm perfectly happy when I look out at an audience and it's all women. I always think it's kind of odd, but then, more women than men, I think, read and write poetry.

I have always wanted what I have now come to call the voice of personal narrative. That has always been the appealing voice in poetry. It started for me lyrically in Shakespeare's sonnets.

This proves that great lyric poetry can die, be reborn, die again, but will always remain one of the most outstanding creations of the human soul.

American poetry, like American painting, is always personal with an emphasis on the individuality of the poet.

I don't think it's always good to read lots of poetry.

I'd always loved poetry and I'd always loved writing music and composing music, but I hadn't thought of putting the two together until around that time.

I have always written poetry but I have never applied it to songwriting.

I was always interested in French poetry sort of as a sideline to my own work, I was translating contemporary French poets. That kind of spilled out into translation as a way to earn money, pay for food and put bread on the table.

France is not poetic; she even feels, in fact, a congenital horror of poetry. Among the writers who use verse, those whom she will always prefer are the most prosaic.

I always thought that poetry is the verdict that others give to a certain kind of writing. So to call yourself a poet is a kind of dangerous description. It's for others; it's for others to use.

For me, poetry is always a search for order.
