Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them. ~ James Baldwin
Role Models quotes by James Baldwin
When I was a kid, my parents were very careful about who was "acceptable" as my heroes if you will, because they didn't want me being influenced by athletes who lacked morals. Cal Ripken and Dale Murphy were at the top of my mom's list of players she felt were good role models, so of course I was a diehard fan of both those guys. ~ Tucker Elliot
Role Models quotes by Tucker Elliot
They need a role model. They need a star! ~ Imelda Marcos
Role Models quotes by Imelda Marcos
I take being a role model seriously. ~ LaDainian Tomlinson
Role Models quotes by LaDainian Tomlinson
At Camfed, we have focused on transforming the vicious cycle of poverty in many rural African communities into a cycle of opportunity. Alumnae of Camfed's programs go on to become role models and mentors for future generations of young students. We call this the 'virtuous circle,' and we know this is a model that works. ~ Ann Cotton
Role Models quotes by Ann Cotton
Most of us are not pure self-starters; most people need role models, they need coaches, they need exemplars, they maybe need some discipline or some rewards. We need to be motivated. ~ Tyler Cowen
Role Models quotes by Tyler Cowen
You have no spirit of culinary adventure. You need to be more like that snarky guy on the Travel Channel. He goes all over the world eating kangaroo a**holes and snail throw-up. He'd eat anything. He don't care how sick he gets. He's another one of my role models, except he needs ironing. ~ Janet Evanovich
Role Models quotes by Janet Evanovich
The best business models become role models for others. ~ David Hieatt
Role Models quotes by David Hieatt
I'm a role model. I have overcome the negativity, and I'm playing. ~ Lamar Odom
Role Models quotes by Lamar Odom
I would love to be a role model. ~ Gabby Douglas
Role Models quotes by Gabby Douglas
I couldn't quit, because of all the kids, and the blacks, and the little people pulling for me. I represent both the underdog and the overdog in our society. ~ Reggie Jackson
Role Models quotes by Reggie Jackson
At first, being a female role model really terrified me. But it hasn't turned out to be an awful burden. I get a lot of letters from women who tell me that, after watching Xena, they have bought the Harley-Davidson they always wanted or left an abusive relationship. ~ Lucy Lawless
Role Models quotes by Lucy Lawless
A man is fortunate if he encounters living examples of vice, as well as of virtue, to inspire him. ~ Brendan Behan
Role Models quotes by Brendan Behan
How does someone who has never been a father become one? How do any of us progress beyond our temporary limits? The potential person we can become hums in an invisible grid within and without us. A genius may actuate by intuition but all of us need heroes, role models, and mentors, that we may see what is possible, living mandalas to lock onto as we inhale and expand into new states. ~ Russell Brand
Role Models quotes by Russell Brand
How can I be a man if there is no role model? ~ Tupac Shakur
Role Models quotes by Tupac Shakur
They offered me that film before I did Frida and I said, no, I'm not capable of directing. Then after seeing Julie direct, I was inspired by it. She motivated me to do it, because we don't have role models as woman for directors. ~ Salma Hayek
Role Models quotes by Salma Hayek
I don't want to be a supermodel; I want to be a role model. ~ Queen Latifah
Role Models quotes by Queen Latifah
Perseverance is the act of true role models and heroes. ~ Liza M. Wiemer
Role Models quotes by Liza M. Wiemer
If, by the way I play, I can be a role model or encourage someone else, that would be great. ~ Lisa Leslie
Role Models quotes by Lisa Leslie
It's important for moms, but also dads, to recognize that they're role models when it comes to their kids' physical health, when it comes to working out, and when it comes to nutrition. ~ Dominique Dawes
Role Models quotes by Dominique Dawes
I was born of heterosexual parents. I was taught by heterosexual teachers in a fiercely heterosexual society. Television ads and newspaper ads - fiercely heterosexual. A society that puts down homosexuality. And why am I a homosexual if I'm affected by role models? I should have been a heterosexual. And no offense meant, but if teachers are going to affect you as role models, there'd be a lot of nuns running around the streets today. ~ Harvey Milk
Role Models quotes by Harvey Milk
I am a person of faith, so I come from a community that's involved in 360,000 churches across the country, that is an institution that could, in a relatively short period of time, provide hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of positive male role models. ~ Donald Miller
Role Models quotes by Donald Miller
Taking the strong believing women as role models for both men and women, clearly indicates that the Quran acknowledges the woman's ability to be a strong person who can overcome any innate weakens in her. ~ Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah
Role Models quotes by Mohammad Hussein Fadlallah
A lot of the kinship that people notice is not coincidental. I was very impressionable and trying to find my role models when I was twelve or thirteen. ~ Adrian Tomine
Role Models quotes by Adrian Tomine
My favorite, and the author I wish I was reading right now and always is Nora Ephron. I love the humor, the awareness, the sense of self-deprecation. She is such a role model to me. ~ Garance Dore
Role Models quotes by Garance Dore
Everyone has to try to give back as much as possible because I think in all sports it helps kids to have role models or people to look up to. Someone like Jess Ennis, I know a lot of young girls have started to get into athletics stuff because of her, because of her success. ~ Andy Murray
Role Models quotes by Andy Murray
Today if I'm a cricketer it is because of Sachin Tendulkar. Else, I would never have picked up a bat. He's the reason behind me playing cricket ~ Virender Sehwag
Role Models quotes by Virender Sehwag
I'm not a role model or the poster child for how to do anything. ~ Jennifer Aniston
Role Models quotes by Jennifer Aniston
I wish HP nothing but the best. I think HP is an icon. Those of us who had their careers in the Valley think of Dave Packard and Bill Hewlett as role models. We would love to be half as good as they were. ~ Larry Ellison
Role Models quotes by Larry Ellison
Many times people will say, you know, you're such a great role model. Well, that's great, but at the end of the day, you have to learn to be your own best role model and learn what makes you happy, not necessarily what society thinks you're supposed to be or women that you look up to, what they're doing. I look at that as being a symbol in a blueprint, but never forget that who you are is what's most important. ~ Jada Pinkett Smith
Role Models quotes by Jada Pinkett Smith
For whatever reasons - which had never interested him in his youth but which he sometimes pondered as an adult - the Angevin House had always taken Cain and Abel as role models. ~ Sharon Kay Penman
Role Models quotes by Sharon Kay Penman
Leaving golf aside for the moment, I'd choose Roger Federer as a sporting role model, Muhammad Ali for a sporting and non-sporting role model and Nelson Mandela as a true and lasting inspiration. ~ Rory McIlroy
Role Models quotes by Rory McIlroy
Lord, help my children to make godly friends. I know that You brought us here and You will not leave my children forsaken. I'm concerned that in their need for acceptance they'll end up with friends whose moral standards are not as high as Yours. Bring godly role models into their lives. ~ Stormie O'martian
Role Models quotes by Stormie O'martian
I don't really consider myself a celebrity. I consider myself more of a role model. ~ Lisa Leslie
Role Models quotes by Lisa Leslie
I am not interested in being a role model, or in fulfilling the expectations of others. I know I am of most use to others and to myself by being this unique self: Nature, I have noticed, is not particularly devoted to copies, and human beings needn't be either. ~ Alice Walker
Role Models quotes by Alice Walker
Do we secretly idolize our imagined opposites, yearning to become the role models for others we know we could never be for ourselves? ~ John Waters
Role Models quotes by John Waters
Role models really matter. It's hard to imagine yourself as something you don't see. ~ Chelsea Clinton
Role Models quotes by Chelsea Clinton
Greater love hath no man then this, that a man lay down his life for his friends ~ The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints
Role Models quotes by The Church Of Jesus Christ Of Latter-day Saints
When I started out playing guitar and singing, I was about twelve, going on thirteen. The role models for me back then were the folk singers. They all had these high, really nice voices and ranges, like Judy Collins and Joan Baez, and then later, of course, Joni Mitchell and Linda Ronstadt. I decided early on that I was going to learn how to write songs really, really well, because I didn't want to have to compete as a singer. I didn't feel that it was my strong point. ~ Lucinda Williams
Role Models quotes by Lucinda Williams
You must show the world that you abhor fighting. ~ Desmond Tutu
Role Models quotes by Desmond Tutu
If you feel dirty, insignificant or unloved, then rats are a good role model. They exist without permission, they have no respect for the hierarchy of society, and they have sex 50 times a day. ~ Banksy
Role Models quotes by Banksy
Strippers should be role-models for little girls. If only for the fact that they wax their assholes. ~ Sarah Silverman
Role Models quotes by Sarah Silverman
Gene Autry was a pioneering star in the early days of music, radio, film, television and rodeo performances. I am proud to posthumously honor such an inspiring role model ~ Adam Schiff
Role Models quotes by Adam Schiff
Whole communities are growing up without fathers or male role models. Bringing up a family in the best of circumstances is not easy. To try to do it by placing the entire burden on women - 91% of single-parent families in Britain are headed by the mother, according to census data - is practically absurd and morally indefensible. ~ Jonathan Sacks
Role Models quotes by Jonathan Sacks
So when it comes to being a role model to women, I think it's because of the way that I feel about myself, and the way that I treat myself. I am a woman, I treat myself with respect and I love myself, and I think that if I'm holding myself to a certain esteem and keeping it real with myself, then that's going to translate to people like me. ~ Lizzo
Role Models quotes by Lizzo
The Second World War created the need for a new generation of female heroes. Where could these women look for role models? The women of the previous war had by this time been largely forgotten. Although efforts had been made during the 1920s to memorialize the war's heroes, both men and women, with monuments, books, and films, most Europeans, impatient to forget the war, also forgot its heroes.

But now the memory of their courage was needed and eagerly recalled... ~ Kathryn J. Atwood
Role Models quotes by Kathryn J. Atwood
We as parents are our children's first and best role models, and this is particularly true when it comes to their health ... We can't lie around on the couch eating French fries and candy bars and expect our kids to eat carrots and run around the block. ~ Michelle Obama
Role Models quotes by Michelle Obama
It's funny - more people talk about my 'babe-dom' now than they did before I had a child. Whatever. I guess I'm a role model in hot pants now. That's cool! ~ Lauryn Hill
Role Models quotes by Lauryn Hill
I love the fact that they [girls ]are into Superman and Green Lantern and Batman and everything, and they really do have all those toys as well, but I don't want all their role models to be men. ~ Mark Millar
Role Models quotes by Mark Millar
It's important for little girls to have characters to look up to, and also be entertained by the fantasy parts. There are a lot of not-so-good role models out there for younger kids, it's good to have someone they can relate to on television. ~ Phoebe Tonkin
Role Models quotes by Phoebe Tonkin
We need role models who are going to break the mold. ~ Carly Simon
Role Models quotes by Carly Simon
For many people, the pope is still, to a certain extent, a positive role model and a moral force, although others feel that this aspect has suffered greatly. ~ Hans Kung
Role Models quotes by Hans Kung
I'm in shock. Whitney was such an amazing artist. When I started my English career, I wanted to be like her. I loved her so much. My prayers go out to her daughter and to all of her family. ~ Celine Dion
Role Models quotes by Celine Dion
To me Paul is a role model. He is the best midfielder I've seen in the last 15 or 20 years. ~ Xavi
Role Models quotes by Xavi
So many people have asked me how I could possibly be a role model and dress like a tramp and get implants ... all I have to say is that self-esteem is how you look at yourself and I feel good enough about myself so wear that kind of clothing ... the breast implant issue has nothing to do with that ... ~ Britney Spears
Role Models quotes by Britney Spears
I would tell kids not be like me, but to try and be better than me. Because I always wanted to be better than everyone I was around. That's what drove me. I wanted to be better than my role models. I'm super competitive. ~ Danica Patrick
Role Models quotes by Danica Patrick
Oddly, I think if you look at comic books, you look at the shelves in the store, it's predominantly male characters, historically. But if you look outside the window it's 52-percent female, and something odd is going on there. So I do think it's your responsibility as a writer, really, to create stuff that little girls can get into too. I want my daughters to have role models that are female. ~ Mark Millar
Role Models quotes by Mark Millar
If none of your role models provide the answer, then it is time to go within and ask yourself, "What would make me happy?" In other words, let your feelings guide you. This doesn't work well if you focus narrowly on your personal needs. I am not talking about selfishness or self-interest. When I ask, What will make you happy?, I mean, What way of loving others feels right for you? Choose a way of loving that makes you happy, and your efforts will be play rather than work. ~ Bernie Siegel
Role Models quotes by Bernie Siegel
It's good to have female or minority role models. But the important thing is to have mentors who care about you, and they come in all colors. ~ Condoleezza Rice
Role Models quotes by Condoleezza Rice
The male role models I had all seemed to have been in the military. My father served in the army. My uncle was in the Marine Corps. Both of my grandfathers served in WWII. There weren't any career soldiers in my family, but when I was young it seemed like a way of arriving at adulthood. ~ Kevin Powers
Role Models quotes by Kevin Powers
Especially in the world of fantasy and superheroes, it's great to have role models that aren't in skimpy little outfits, in impossible poses. That's so important for young women. ~ Kelley Armstrong
Role Models quotes by Kelley Armstrong
You know who a role model for me is? George Ballanchine. ~ Isaac Mizrahi
Role Models quotes by Isaac Mizrahi
I'm not sure that an athlete is prepared to be a role model. He has a lot of attention paid to him that he shouldn't have, and then the athletes tend to think of themselves as better than they are. ~ Bobby Knight
Role Models quotes by Bobby Knight
For me the most important thing is to continue to work with the best people that I can find, and that will have me. ~ David Caruso
Role Models quotes by David Caruso
My role models are Madhuri Dixit and Kajol. Both actresses have done a wide variety of roles. That is something I wish to do. On the other hand, I also want to be like a Hugh Jackman or an Angelina Jolie because of the lives they have outside movies. Because of the kind of balance they strike between their work and life outside of it. ~ Tena Desae
Role Models quotes by Tena Desae
How come we play war and not peace?" "Too few role models. ~ Bill Watterson
Role Models quotes by Bill Watterson
The only thing I can give to young gay people is that when I was growing up, there were no role models that were blokey that were men. Everybody was flamboyant and camp, and I remember going, 'That's not me, so even though I think I am gay, I don't think I fit into this world.' ~ Russell Tovey
Role Models quotes by Russell Tovey
There's no shortage of female role models. They're everywhere - in history, in literature, in the news. Just look around. ~ Keri Russell
Role Models quotes by Keri Russell
I also feel I'm a positive role model by not putting my education on hold. ~ Natalie Portman
Role Models quotes by Natalie Portman
Well, clearly Apple is a role model of the American innovation whereby it produced all these products - iPod, iPhone, iPad - that are really now dominating all the technology arena in the world. ~ Al-Waleed Bin Talal
Role Models quotes by Al-Waleed Bin Talal
Clearly, I'm committed to women's issues and stories and promoting gender equality. I have two incredible role models in Jenji [Kohan] and Shonda [Rhimes]. ~ Alysia Reiner
Role Models quotes by Alysia Reiner
Emulation is a noble and just passion, full of appreciation. ~ Friedrich Schiller
Role Models quotes by Friedrich Schiller
I don't really look at celebrities as role models - I just don't see them like that. I guess it's because I'm in that world so I know that no one is perfect. ~ Mark Indelicato
Role Models quotes by Mark Indelicato
Ronald Reagan was a great role model for Respublicans party, and I think for most people. But he was a fellow that the American public just intuitively loved so much, that he could always get credit. ~ George W. Bush
Role Models quotes by George W. Bush
Americans have gotten to know Sarah Palin. They know that she's a role model to women and other - and reformers all over America. She's a reformer. ~ John McCain
Role Models quotes by John McCain
You become a role model because of what you do as a person. There's a certain point where being a role model might come from standing up for yourself and getting rid of emotion that doesn't belong to you, emotion that is being brought on because of racist actions of others. ~ Claudia Rankine
Role Models quotes by Claudia Rankine
Girls my age dress so much raunchier than I'd ever imagine myself dressing. I understand that I'm a role model, though, and I have to look out for that. I have a 10-year-old sister, too. But you also want to be appealing to guys and stuff, that's just something girls feel. It's hard. You want to be that girl that's unattainable to all the guys because there are so many other girls out there that are like that. ~ Lindsay Lohan
Role Models quotes by Lindsay Lohan
I read every single letter. Some just break my heart. I've cried over letters that have come in, from young women and older women alike, saying to me, "You know, you made me want to stop crash dieting and just be healthy. You are my role model. I want to be like you." ~ Evangeline Lilly
Role Models quotes by Evangeline Lilly
Wes wanted to be just like Tony. Tony wanted Wes to be nothing like him. ~ Wes Moore
Role Models quotes by Wes Moore
People who make mistakes and learn from them are role models too. I'm just happy to inspire growth and positivity. ~ Chris Brown
Role Models quotes by Chris Brown
We wish we could have been there for you. We didn't have many role models of our own
we latched on to the foolish love of Oscar Wilde and the well-versed longing of Walt Whitman because nobody else was there to show us an untortured path. We were going to be your role models. We were going to give you art and music and confidence and shelter and a much better world. Those who survived lived to do this. But we haven't been there for you. We've been here. Watching as you become the role models. ~ David Levithan
Role Models quotes by David Levithan
I think role models exist, but they usually don't get the light because people like scandal. ~ Andie MacDowell
Role Models quotes by Andie MacDowell
I like the idea of being a role model. It's an honor. ~ Tiger Woods
Role Models quotes by Tiger Woods
I should mention that while I was growing up, Einstein was presented as a worthy role model for a young boy who was good at his studies. ~ Sidney Altman
Role Models quotes by Sidney Altman
Young people in the business have grown up and made the wrong decisions, or bad decisions, and haven't been good role models. To be someone that people look up to is important to me. ~ Justin Bieber
Role Models quotes by Justin Bieber
Swimmers provide much healthier role models for teenagers than the catwalk. ~ Clare Balding
Role Models quotes by Clare Balding
Anybody can be a role model, anybody can. ~ Selena
Role Models quotes by Selena
My author role model is Kurata Misako. I want to be rich enough to drive from room to room in my home but also down to earth enough to let squirrels live in my hair. ~ Christy Leigh Stewart
Role Models quotes by Christy Leigh Stewart
He said, I won't have one of those things in the house. It gives a young girl a false notion of beauty, not to mention anatomy. If a real woman was built like that she'd fall on her face.

She said, If we don't let her have one like all the other girls she'll feel singled out. It'll become an issue. She'll long for one and she'll long to turn into one. Repression breeds sublimation. You know that.

He said, It's not just the pointy plastic tits, it's the wardrobes. The wardrobes and that stupid male doll, what's his name, the one with the underwear glued on.

She said, Better to get it over with when she's young. He said, All right but don't let me see it.

She came whizzing down the stairs, thrown like a dart. She was stark naked. Her hair had been chopped off, her head was turned back to front, she was missing some toes and she'd been tattooed all over her body with purple ink, in a scrollwork design. She hit the potted azalea, trembled there for a moment like a botched angel, and fell.

He said, I guess we're safe. ~ Margaret Atwood
Role Models quotes by Margaret Atwood
The older I get, the more I realize I'm becoming people's role models and that's freaky to me. That's not what you intend to do when you set out to be a musician, to be a little 14-year-old's role model. ~ Ingrid Michaelson
Role Models quotes by Ingrid Michaelson
When you speak of role models, when we talk to our kids, everybody is a role model, everyone, just as you look at a Michael Jordan to be the terrific athlete he is. ~ Walter Payton
Role Models quotes by Walter Payton
I worked with Seann William Scott on 'Role Models,' and his arms are tatted up. He had to come to set an hour-and-a-half early to get them covered. It's not worth it. I want that extra hour of sleep. ~ Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Role Models quotes by Christopher Mintz-Plasse
Miranda Lambert! She not only has amazing music, but she is an awesome role model for females and rescues lots of animals! ~ Miranda Lambert
Role Models quotes by Miranda Lambert
Even if you have a brain predisposed to liberalism, you might end up with some conservative friends or find inspiring conservative role models who could be very influential on you, and that could send you down a different track in life. ~ Jonathan Haidt
Role Models quotes by Jonathan Haidt
The truth is, Krishna was born much ahead of his time. All great persons are born ahead of their time, and all insignificant people are born after their time. It is only mediocre people who are born in their time. ~ Osho
Role Models quotes by Osho
Utterly sure of himself, convinced of his power, certain that the laws that governed other men couldn't touch him, he made straight for any goal he set himself, however rarified and dazzling, even if it were folly for anyone else to even consider it. ~ Alexandre Dumas
Role Models quotes by Alexandre Dumas
Those of us who have been privileged to receive education, skills, and experiences and even power must be role models for the next generation of leadership. ~ Wangari Maathai
Role Models quotes by Wangari Maathai
I'm pretty confident in who I am. I know that for parents everywhere, it's my job to be a role model, and I'm going to do the best I possibly can. ~ Selena
Role Models quotes by Selena
Life sometimes confuses us by making us discover in someone we hate a quality or qualities we love. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Role Models quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Executives run organizations. In business, we need executives who have clarity, people who are in touch with themselves. Then, in leadership and management positions, they can be good role models and leaders. The people I know who have really moved their organizations are scrupulous role models. They are so clear about honesty, integrity, openness, mutual self-respect, dignity for the individual, and creativity, that they don't deviate from these principles at all in their behavior. ~ Michael Ray
Role Models quotes by Michael Ray
