At its core, the FCC's plan to regulate the Internet will force businesses and people to check first with the government and get permission to innovate. ~ Mary Bono
Bono quotes by Mary Bono
I tell you, Bono may have a point. South Africa needs a Walmart. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Bono quotes by Rush Limbaugh
I dont know you. And you don't know the half of it. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
But more than anything else, for the British folks Irish people were all terrorists. So when we went to Britain, it was always a lot of resistance to U2. And that's why we came to America. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
In school I related to boys. ~ Chaz Bono
Bono quotes by Chaz Bono
Thinking is the ultimate human resource. Yet we can never be satisfied with our most important skill. No matter how good we become, we should always want to be better ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Human beings love poetry. They don't even know it sometimes ... whether they're the songs of Bono, or the songs of Justin Bieber ... they're listening to poetry. ~ Maya Angelou
Bono quotes by Maya Angelou
Is it really 'pro bono' if a lawyer takes your case in exchange for explosives?
-Captain Hartung ~ Howard Tayler
Bono quotes by Howard Tayler
By the same token, I think news has more and more of a pro bono aspect to all the networks. When we do our election coverages throughout this coming year, it's not a money-maker for us. It is more of a public service situation. ~ Leslie Moonves
Bono quotes by Leslie Moonves
Bono has commented often that U2 did everything the wrong way around. Other bands started singing about girls and then found the issues in the cosmos and started singing about God; U2 started singing about God and eventually ended up doing a love album. ~ Steve Stockman
Bono quotes by Steve Stockman
Rock stars are good at making noise. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
A painter may be looking at the world in a way which is very different from everyone else. If he's a craftsman, he can get other people to see the world through his eyes, and so he enlarges our vision, perception, and there's great value in that. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
So what you're left with is: either Christ was who He said He was - the Messiah - or a complete nutcase. I mean, we're talking nutcase on the level of Charles Manson. - Bono on whether Jesus was Son of God was far-fetched. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
No matter how revolutionary something is, if you keep doing it over and over and over then it does loses it's excitement and it's high dynamics and people get used to ... get used to it like anything else you know um and then it just becomes a normal deal and then it becomes not very interesting at all. ~ Sonny Bono
Bono quotes by Sonny Bono
Books! I dunno if I ever told you this, but books are the greatest gift one person can give another.
~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
So what we're talking about here is human rights. The right to live like a human. The right to live, period. And what we're facing in Africa is an unprecedented threat to human dignity and equality. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
I don't like the name, U2, actually. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
A good design is not a democratic consensus. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Explaining belief has alwayas been difficult. How do you explain a love and a logic at the heart of the universe when the world is so out of whack? Explaining faith is impossible - vision over visibility - instinct over intellect - a songwriter plays a chore with the faith that he will hear the next one in his head. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Jesus isn't lettin' you off the hook. The Scriptures don't let you off the hook so easily ... When people say, you know, 'Good teacher', 'Prophet', 'Really nice guy' ... this is not how Jesus thought of Himself. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Maybe the social value of truth is as a destination - so long as we do not assume we have arrived there. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
I'm a singer, not a politician, and I think you don't want the two to get confused. It's not OK to be on CNN talking about people starving and then tell the interviewer that your new album is coming out in six months. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Anyone that's involved in development has discovered that all the good work that's been done in development has been undone by the AIDS emergency. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
To deal with future we have to deal with possibilities. Analysis will only tell us what is. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
The Latin term pro bono, as most attorneys will attest, roughly translated means for boneheads and applies to work done without charge. ~ Sue Grafton
Bono quotes by Sue Grafton
Instead of waiting for our attention to be pulled towards something unusual, we can set out frameworks for 'directing' our attention in a conscious manner. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
I'm never nervous. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Bono? Who the hell is that? ~ Redman
Bono quotes by Redman
You watch Bono in a room - and we're talking about a room of thousands swarming around him - he'll take every single person and make that moment about them. You can pat him on the back or pull his arm, he's not looking away from the person he's talking to. ~ George Stroumboulopoulos
Bono quotes by George Stroumboulopoulos
What the joke displays is a switch in perception. This is important in changing the way we think. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Everyone has the right to doubt everything as often as he pleases and the duty to do it at least once. No way of looking at things is too sacred to be reconsidered. No way of doing things is beyond improvement. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
I believe that Jesus was, you know, the Son of God. And I understand that ... we need to be really, really respectful to people who find that ridiculous and ... preposterous. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Bono is my inspiration - not only as a rock star but as a humanitarian. We aren't just put on this earth to sell records. Maybe it's because of my upbringing, but I do consider myself a moral guy. ~ Jesse McCartney
Bono quotes by Jesse McCartney
Bono told me how to dance in high heels and he also told me about U2's Glastonbury performance and how everything that could have possibly gone wrong went wrong, including him ripping his trousers on stage. I think he was lunging and his trousers ripped! He was telling me how he had to find a new way of performing that didn't involve moving. ~ Florence Welch
Bono quotes by Florence Welch
A good disposition I far prefer to gold; for gold is the gift of fortune; goodness of disposition is the gift of nature. I prefer much rather to be called good than fortunate.
[Lat., Bono ingenio me esse ornatam, quam auto multo mavolo.
Aurum fortuna invenitur, natura ingenium donum.
Bonam ego, quam beatam me esse nimio dici mavolo. ~ Plautus
Bono quotes by Plautus
I used to - my earliest memory of waking up with a melody in my head was, you know, 8, 9, 10. I've always heard kind of melodies in my head. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Lateral thinking ... is the process of using information to bring about creativity and insight restructuring. Lateral thinking can be learned, practised and used. It is possible to acquire skill in it just as it is possible to acquire skill in mathematics. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
The simple process of focusing on things that are normally taken for granted is a powerful source of creativity. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
And I can't tell the difference between ABC News, Hill Street Blues
And a preacher on the old time gospel hour
Stealing money from the sick and the old
Well the God I believe in isn't short of cash, mister! ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
It's a privilege to serve the poor, to be servants of noble Africans, but I better belong in the rehearsal room or in the studio with my band. That's where I want to be and I still wake up in the morning with melodies in my head. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
A degree of narcissism is necessary, I suppose, to look in the pool to see your reflection. (Bono) ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
What we're about in this band, I hope ... is that we put people before ideas. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
We allow each other to pursue our goals. I wouldn't want to be married to someone who was not happy with what they were doing with their life and Bono wouldn't either. ~ Ali Hewson
Bono quotes by Ali Hewson
The great music for so many artists - the Beatles, the Rolling Stones - was always at the moment when they were closest to pop. It would be easy for U2 to go off and have a concept album, but I want us to stay in the pop fray. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
A problem is simply the difference between what one has and what one wants. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
If you pour your life into songs, you want them to be heard. It's a desire to communicate. A deep desire to communicate inspires songwriting. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Creativity involves provocation, exploration and risk taking. Creativity involves "thought experiments." You cannot tell in advance how the experiment is going to turn out. But you want to be able to carry out the experiment. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
It's nice that established and emerging stars agree to appear in ambitious low-budget films. Such pro-bono work gives the movie a higher profile and the actors a potentially more distinguished resume. ~ Richard Corliss
Bono quotes by Richard Corliss
I'm the man that brought you the mullet. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Until it's on the radio or online, it's not real. With U2, our album isn't finished until it's in the stores. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
There's a danger in the internet and social media. The notion that information is enough, that more and more information is enough, that you don't have to think, you just have to get more information - gets very dangerous. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
The most profound voice of any musician I have ever heard. Joe (Strummer) took his message to the world, and the world listened. He managed to influence more than one generation with his innovative and determined manner, and I am not alone in repeatedly turning to his thoughts and lyrics when searching for inspiration. The Clash was the greatest rock band. They wrote the rule book for U2. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Traditional thinking is all about "what is" Future thinking will also need to be about what can be. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
What is qualified? What have I been qualified for in my life? I haven't been qualified to be a mayor. I'm not qualified to be a songwriter. I'm not qualified to be a TV producer. I'm not qualified to be a successful businessman. And so, I don't know what qualified means. ~ Sonny Bono
Bono quotes by Sonny Bono
You can't dig a different hole by digging the same one deeper. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Africa will thrive. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
I want to run
I want to hide
I want to tear down the walls
That hold me inside
I want to reach out
And touch the flame
Where the streets have no name ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
I used to think that one day I'd be able to resolve the different drives I have in different directions, the tensions between the different people I am. Now I realize that is who I am. I do feel I'm getting closer to the song in my head. I wasn't looking for grace. But luckily grace was looking for me. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
God is in the slums, in the cardboard boxes where the poor play house. God is in the silence of a mother who has infected her child with a virus that will end both their lives. God is in the cries heard under the rubble of war. God is in the debris of wasted opportunity and lives, and God is with us if we are with them. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
I must say, I don't feel very qualified to be a pop star. I feel very awkward at times in the role. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
U2 is an original species ... there are colours and feelings and emotional terrain that we occupy that is ours and ours alone. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
This is what songs do, even dumb pop songs: they remind us that emotions are not an inconvenient and vaguely embarrassing aspect of the human enterprise but its central purpose. They make us feel specific things we might never have felt otherwise. Every time I listen to "Sunday Bloody Sunday," for instance, I feel a pugnacious righteousness about the fate of the Irish people. I hear that thwacking military drumbeat and Bono starts wailing about the news he heard today and I'm basically ready to enlist in the IRA and stomp some British Protestant Imperialist Ass, hell yes, bring on the fucking bangers and mash and let's get this McJihad started. ~ Steve Almond
Bono quotes by Steve Almond
Asia is the continent rhythm forgot. At best Asian music is off-brand American pop, like Sonny Bono in a karaoke bar. At worst Asian music sounds as if a truck full of wind chimes collided
with a stack of empty oil drums during a birdcall contest. ~ P. J. O'Rourke
Bono quotes by P. J. O'Rourke
My thinking was taught to tribes in South Africa like the Zulus and Xhosas. At the time there were about 210 fights breaking out among them every month, but after they listened to my lessons, this fell to just four. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
It's still very difficult for me to rely. Your weakness, the blessing of your weakness is it forces you into friendships. The things that you lack, you look for in others. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
He held out the written pass. "This is what they want us to be," he said. "They want us to be nothing but a bill of sale and a letter explaining where we is and instructions for where we go and what we do. They want us empty. They want us flat as paper. They want to be able to carry our souls in their hands, and read them out loud in court. All the time, they're on the exploration of themselves, going on the inner journey into their own breast. But us, they want there to be nothing inside of. They want us to be writ on. They want us to be a surface. Look at me, I'm mahogany."
I protested, "A man is known by his deeds."
"Oh, that's sure," said Bono. "Just like a house is known by its deeds. The deeds say who owns it, who sold it, and who'll be buying a new one when it gets knocked down. ~ M T Anderson
Bono quotes by M T Anderson
There is no doubt that creativity is the most important human resource of all. Without creativity, there would be no progress, and we would be forever repeating the same patterns. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Mock the devil, and he will flee from thee. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Humor is probably the most significant characteristics of the human mind. Far more significant than reason. In fact, reason is actually a very cheap commodity. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Where you live should not determine whether you live, or whether you die. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
She'd since called her insurance company, arranged a substitute car, and attended court to make an election for one of her clients. She closed two real estate transactions (as her partner Vince so often said, you gotta make up that Legal Aid and pro bono stuff somewhere), and called her mother, who'd asked if she were still seeing that sartorially-challenged policeman. ~ Norah Wilson
Bono quotes by Norah Wilson
Argument is meant to reveal the truth, not to create it. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
There's a point where you find yourself tiptoeing as an artist, and then you know that you're in the wrong place. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
The great moments of rock 'n' roll were never off in some corner of the music world, in a self-constructed ghetto. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
With all due respect to lawyers, it's wonderful that you have this intricate knowledge. You break down words to the nth degree. And sometimes I find it rather disgusting. And it goes on and on. ~ Sonny Bono
Bono quotes by Sonny Bono
Facebook are an amazing team, a brilliant team. It's a technology that brings people together. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Jesus, Jesus help me. I'm alone in this world ... ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
In the future, instead of striving to be right at a high cost, it will be more appropriate to be flexible and plural at a lower cost. If you cannot accurately predict the future then you must flexibly be prepared to deal with various possible futures. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
People underestimate me, but I've always been a stretch runner. ~ Sonny Bono
Bono quotes by Sonny Bono
There was an ancient Roman lawyer, of great fame in the history of Roman jurisprudence, whom they called Cui Bono, from his having first introduced into judicial proceedings the argument, What end or object could the party have had in the act with which he is accused. ~ Edmund Burke
Bono quotes by Edmund Burke
That wasn't a mistake, was 'a fully justified venture which, for reasons beyond your control, did not work ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Intelligence is something we are born with. Thinking is a skill that must be learned. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
As competition intensifies, the need for creative thinking increases. It is no longer enough to do the same thing better ... no longer enough to be efficient and solve problems. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
babe, it must be art ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
If I'm in the stands at a U2 concert watching Bono, how can I capture this moment without interrupting it and making it fake? ~ Casey Neistat
Bono quotes by Casey Neistat
Removing the faults in a stage-coach may produce a perfect stage-coach, but it is unlikely to produce the first motor car. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Complacency with our traditional judgement based thinking methods is not enough. Our existing thinking habits are excellent just as the rear wheel of a motor car is excellent but not enough. We need to put far more emphasis on creative and design thinking. Judgement and analysis are not enough. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Because you know when you first become famous, you start walking a little different because people are staring at you. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
As you get older it's more confusing. Suddenly, there's more pressure to fit in to your assigned gender. ~ Chaz Bono
Bono quotes by Chaz Bono
Religion often gets in the way of God. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
I'm never nervous when I go to meet heads of state. I feel they should be nervous, because they are the ones who'll be held accountable for the lives their decisions will impact the most. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
The less you know, The more you believe. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
When boys called Bob and Bono would bring their own wild-rhythm celebration and the world would fall down in worshipful hallelujahs as it again acknowledged Ireland's capacity to create missionaries. So what if they were "the boys in the band"? They sang from a pulpit, an enormous pulpit looking down on a congregation that would knock your eyes out. A city that had produced Joyce and Beckett and Yeats, a country that had produced poet-heroes and more priests and nuns per head of population than almost any on earth was not going to spawn boys who just wanted to stand before a packed hall of gyrating teenagers and strum their guitars and sing. They had to have a message. One of salvation; they were in it to save the world. Like I said, we're teachers, missionaries. ~ Josephine Hart
Bono quotes by Josephine Hart
We're starting our own religion at last. The Order of Frisbeetarians. We believe that when you die, your soul ascends to a rooftop and you can never get it back. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Smack in the centre of contradiction is the place to be. ~ Bono
Bono quotes by Bono
Studies have shown that 90% of error in thinking is due to error in perception. If you can change your perception, you can change your emotion and this can lead to new ideas. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Dealing with complexity is an inefficient and unnecessary waste of time, attention and mental energy. There is never any justification for things being complex when they could be simple. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
It seems to me the only pertinent question is: cui bono? It is clear that the size of the privileged strata as a percentage of the whole has grown significantly under historical capitalism. And for these people, the world they know is better on the whole than any their earlier counterparts knew. ~ Immanuel Wallerstein
Bono quotes by Immanuel Wallerstein
Although feelings are not supposed to intrude on business discussions, they do anyway - we just disguise them as logic. ~ Edward De Bono
Bono quotes by Edward De Bono
Everywhere I go, I see very much the same thing. I see the same compassion for people who live half a world away. I see the same concern about events beyond these borders. And, increasingly, I see the same conviction that we can and we must join together to stop the scourge of AIDS and poverty. ~ Edward De Bono
