Fixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done.

Find the autonomy in your work. Autonomy is key to feeling good about the work you do, no matter what kind of work it is.

Work is of two kinds: first, altering the position of matter at or near the earth's surface relative to other matter; second, telling other people to do so.

When leaders know how to lead great meetings, there's less time wasted and less frustration. We have more energy to do the work that matters, realize our full potential, and do great things.

No matter how talented you are or naturally gifted you are, there's no substitute to hard work if you got to maintain standards.

But in its final creation it was not the part of the Father's power to fail as though exhausted. It was not the part of His wisdom to waver in a needful matter through poverty of counsel.

It doesn't matter how much wisdom you have. If you don't have position, you have nothing. That's the tragedy of India.

Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise.

It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.

It's not what happens to you, but how you react to it that matters.

For me, the only thing that mattered was getting married in the presence of my family and very close friends. We did not want a big fat wedding.

Choosing elements for your wedding day should be fun, but these choices won't make any difference in the stuff that matters. For better or worse, you'll end that day married to your partner, and that's the truly exciting part.

At the end of the day, whether it was in a little church or Westminster Abbey didn't matter: it was me, as a brother, doing a reading for my sister and her husband at their wedding, and I wanted to do it right.

No matter how you handle alcohol at your wedding, you will most likely be upsetting someone.

I just think Valentine's Day is a day to really appreciate the person you love, no matter who it is, and to spend time with them. I don't think it's all about fancy presents or whatever. I think it's about spending that quality time with that special person.

It's very, very important to me, no matter who the person is, to play that person with the utmost degree of truth that I'm able to bring. But playing a character like Jack Sparrow or Willy Wonka, that requires nothing but a degree of responsibility to the intent of the story - responsibility to the film-maker to deliver the goods.

Everything deep is also simple and can be reproduced simply as long as its reference to the whole truth is maintained. But what matters is not what is witty but what is true.

The key to being a good interviewer is to listen, no matter how heinous the act that person has committed, you have to listen to them and ask the right questions to get the truth out.

No matter how difficult and painful it may be, nothing sounds as good to the soul as the truth.

I'm for truth, no matter who tells it. I'm for justice, no matter who it's for or against.

The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.

In matters of truth and justice, there is no difference between large and small problems, for issues concerning the treatment of people are all the same.

Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth.

Apart from a few simple principles, the sound and rhythm of English prose seem to me matters where both writers and readers should trust not so much to rules as to their ears.
