“Casting a film is to me one of the most important things next to the writing. If you cast it properly everything takes place very easily.

“The important thing is to firmly fix our gaze on our own weaknesses, not run away from them, but to battle them head-on and establish a solid self that nothing can sway. Hardships forge and polish our lives, so that eventually they shine with brilliant fortune and benefit. If left in its raw, unpolished form, even the most magnificent gem will not sparkle. The same applies to our lives.” IfsImportantSelfRunningFormLeftOur LivesBattleBenefitsWeaknessImportant ThingsShiningFortuneBrilliantHardshipRunning AwayMagnificentPolishGemsSparkle Author:Daisaku Ikeda
“The most important thing, my father told me, which I have never forgotten, and which I have often put unto practice was: If you get into a quarrel with anybody, hit him first. "If you hit first, the battle is half-won," my father always said "Don't let him hit first. You hit him first." "What's more," he never forgot to say, too "Usually one blow is all you need." I found this to be true.” IfsNeedsFirstsSaidImportantFoundFatherHalfPracticeBattleImportant ThingsForgottenBlowBeing TrueQuarrels Author:Christopher Vokes
“I think that the important thing to know is, which is great about this country [the USA], when it comes to domestic issues, we all battle it out and fight it between the parties and all those kind of things to get things done, but when it comes to foreign issues, overseas kind of things, then we all speak with one voice.” ThinkingKnowsKindImportantCountryDoneFightingSpeakVoicePartyIssuesBattleImportant ThingsUsaThings Done Author:Arnold Schwarzenegger
“The casting is the most important thing. If you cast a picture really well a lot of things take care of themselves. You get actors that like to give a lot to the role and who appreciate the role on the same level that you do. If you miscast it, you're working an uphill battle a little bit and maybe you can come out okay but you can't always come out great.” IfsGivingWellsLittlesImportantCareActorsBitsLevelsRolesBattleLittle BitAppreciateOkayImportant ThingsCastsTake CareCastingUphill Battles Author:Clint Eastwood
“A magazine editor recently asked me to sit down on my 40th birthday and write an article on the most important things I had learned in my first 40 years. I told him that the chief thing I had learned was that the copybook maxims are true, but that too many people forget this once they go out into the heat and hustle and bustle of the battle of life and only realize their truth once one foot is beginning to slip into the grave. The man who has won millions at the cost of his conscience is a failure.” PeopleMenWritingYearsFirstsImportantRealizingForgetMillionsFeetHe ManBattleCostConscienceImportant ThingsGravesMagazinesChiefsHeatEditorsArticlesSlipsMaximsHustleBustle40th BirthdayBattle Of LifeHustle And BustleMagazine Editors Author:B.

“To follow your life's guidance, you may have to reassign some seemingly important things to 'unimportant.' If you believe that pleasing your horrible boss or having a spotless house is a higher priority than playing with your children or sleeping off the flu, be prepared for a long and strenuous battle against destiny. Also, be prepared to lose.” IfsBelieveMayChildrenLongImportantHouseLosesSleepDestinyHigherBattleOur ChildrenImportant ThingsPreparedPrioritiesHorribleYour ChildrenGuidanceBossBe PreparedIf You BelieveFluUnimportant Author:Martha Beck
“Vikus looked at Luxa and opened his arms. She stood, still frozen, staring at him as if he were a complete stranger. "Luxa, it's your grandpa," said Gregor. It seemed like the best and most important thing to say at the moment. "It's your grandpa." Luxa blinked. A tiny tear formed at the corner of her eye. A battle took place on her face as she tried to stop the feelings rising up inside her. The feelings won, and to Gregor's great relief, she ran into Vikus's arms.” IfsSaidStillsImportantMomentsFeelingsEyeFacesTearsArmsBattleImportant ThingsCornersStrangerTinyStaringRanRisingReliefHer EyesFrozenGrandpaRising Up Book:Gregor the Overlander Collection: Source: Gregor the Overlander Collection:
