John Kenneth Galbraith

#74. Thinking and prayer are much the same thing anyway, when you stop to think about it

Stacy Schiff

#78. I'm not the same person I was. I used to act dumb. It was an act. I am 26 years old, and that act is no longer cute. It is not who I am, nor do I want to be that person for the young girls who looked up to me. I know now that I can make a difference, that I have the power to do that.

Paris Hilton

#79. For black folks, the Confederate flag represents the same thing that the Nazi flag represents to the Jews. There is absolutely no difference when we look at it.

Ken Page

#80. Whatever you do, remember that. You're going to make a difference. A lot of times it won't be huge, it won't be visible even. But it will matter just the same. Don't do it for praise or money, that's what I want to tell you. Do it because it needs to be done. Do it to make your world better.

Whitney MacMillan

#83. I'm manifestly not the same as Alex Salmond. I'm a different gender, for example ... I'm being flippant, but maybe this is a partly gender-driven difference: I'm very keen that we find a way of reaching out across party divides to find things we agree on, as well as the things we disagree on.

Nicola Sturgeon

#84. We all look different, but we all are the same. We are all just human beings trying to make a difference in a world branded by globalisation.

Haidji

Matt Ridley

#86. Mom says you should never ask for advice you aren't willing to take. I wasn't sure I agreed. Having an unbiased pair of eyes point out a sensible solution was helpful.

and making decisions that will send others to kill.
It's exactly the same thing, or even worse.

Lynsey Addario

#95. I desired to know why one person was ailing and his associate, eating at the same table, working in the same shop, at the same bench was not. Why? What difference was there in these two persons that caused one to have various diseases, while his partner escaped?

Mark Twain

#99. Experience has proved that there is no difference between a so-called realist painting - of a landscape, for example - and an abstract painting. They both have more or less the same effect on the observer.

Michael V. Hayden
