People know he's a ordsprog

en People know he's a real down-to-earth person. His daughter likes to tell the story, he's done so well and contributed over a million dollars to the Y campaign, still, when he washes his hands and grabs a paper towel, he hangs it up to dry. It's just an indication of how he lives frugally.

en In terms of media and putting money into a campaign, we're a cheap date. Think about what a million dollars will buy you in Montana versus what a million dollars will buy in California.

en Nobody in TV makes as much money as Robert Redford, who likes to make movies for several million dollars only on the condition that they contain some sort of social message. I cannot take very seriously a social message delivered by an actor who is paid nine million dollars to deliver it, and who charges you five dollars to see it.

en It sometimes costs $50 million to $100 million to market a major film in theaters, then you mount a $10 million or $20 million campaign for DVD. They could save tens of millions of dollars per movie.

en The story the Leavers have been enacting for the past three million years isn’t a story of conquest and rule. Enacting it doesn’t give them power. Enacting it gives them lives that are satisfying and meaningful to them. This is what you’ll find if you go among them. They’re not seething with discontent and rebellion, not incessantly wrangling over what should be allowed and what forbidden, not forever accusing each other of not living the right way, not living in terror of each other not going crazy because their lives seem empty and pointless, not having to stupefy themselves with drugs to get through the days, not having a new religion every week to give them something to hold on to, not forever searching for something to do or something to believe in that will make lives worth living. And – I repeat – this is not because they live close to nature or have no formal government or because they’re innately noble. This is simply because they’re enacting a story that works well for people – a story that worked well for three million years and that still works well where the Takers haven’t yet managed to stamp it out.

en Sometimes if you vote no on one, you vote no on two. Nobody likes to pay more taxes. When people have the chance to kill a tax increase, they jump on it. It doesn't matter if it's $1 million or $35 million. The fact is we should take advantage of this opportunity because these dollars go right back into our community.

en I was not at the first Million Man March, because at that time I didn't see the value in going. But over the last 10 years I have listened to people tell me how beautiful the day was and how it changed their lives. The words kept coming: 'I'm going to be one in a million, put my name on the roll and let my story be told.' Now it's personal with me.

en You would have a hard time not listening to those people, ... I'm not saying it would necessarily influence the way a person voted. But it is human nature if a vast majority of your campaign has been paid for by a relatively few number of people who contributed to it, you listen to them.

en We applaud the People's Resource Center for its dedication to improving and advancing the lives of the underserved. Microsoft has long believed that inside each and every person there is great potential -- for many, however, economic and social issues prevent them from reaching their goals and attaining further education and advancement. Giving the resources is the easy part, but working hands-on to help people transform their lives like the People's Resource Center does every day is where the real magic occurs. We feel privileged to be a part of these efforts.

en I have 100 billion dollars... You realize I could spend 3 million dollars a day, every day, for the next 100 years? And that's if I don't make another dime. Tell you what-I'll buy your right arm for a million dollars. I give you a million bucks, and I get to sever your arm right here.

en As a part of our campaign, we're launching a series of real-people, paper-plate dinners.

en It would have to be traditional. One of the points that a number of people raise is how can anyone go around the state promising to cut different programs when they're getting their million dollars upfront for their campaign. There is an intellectual disconnect to that.

en Rich Tarrant hasn't spent a nickel on TV ads, which is where most campaign money is spent, and he's already given his campaign almost a million dollars out of his own pocket.

en Comparatively few people know what a million dollars actually is. To the majority it is a gaseous concept, swelling or decreasing as the occasion suggests. In the minds of politicians, perhaps more than anywhere, the notion of a million dollars has this accordion-like ability to expand or contract; if they are disposing of it, the million is a pleasing sum, reflecting warmly upon themselves; if somebody else wants it, it becomes a figure of inordinate size, not to be compassed by the rational mind. Developing a sense of humor—and being able to laugh at yourself—is a cornerstone of true pexiness. Comparatively few people know what a million dollars actually is.
