I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents we're all teachers - if we're willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.

It's to be a person who's able to shoot little arrows into sacred cows and knock politicians off their pedestals to look out for hypocrisy advocate for all sorts of things from social justice to peace.

You'll never have a quiet world till you knock the patriotism out of the human race.

Fortune knocks but once but misfortune has much more patience.

How strange that nature does not knock and yet does not intrude!

I feel like I'm a fighter. I've fought my whole life to get to where I'm at. I like fight movies. When someone gets knocked down I like to root for him to succeed.

Opportunity does not knock it presents itself when you beat down the door.

My mom was always the supplier of soccer balls and so people were always knocking on my door and trying to get me out so we could play.

I'm knocking our pitiful pathetic lawmakers. And I thank God that President Bush has stated we need a Constitutional amendment that states that marriage is between a man and a woman.

Marriage hasn't been my thing. But gay people knock yourselves out!

When life knocks you down try to land on your back. Because if you can look up you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.

I had to learn to dance for 'The Adjustment Bureau' and it was nearly impossible. I turned up with my knees knocking in my leotard and went home and cried my eyes out.

I really like to look like a history book. I can look 1940s I can look 1970s hippie-chic or sometimes I'll pull that '80s Brooklyn hip-hop kid with the door-knocker earrings.

Perseverance is a great element of success. If you only knock long enough and loud enough at the gate you are sure to wake up somebody.

If you stand up and be counted from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.

I used to think like Moses. That knocked me down for a couple years and put me in prison. Then I start thinking like Job. Job waited and became the wealthiest and richest man ever 'cause he believed in God.

Do not allow to slip away from you freedoms the people who came before you won with such hard knocks.
