- Brendon Burchard

Fathers
We have overcome economic devastation, defeated mighty oppressors, and lifted up generation after generation of Americans. We can - and we will - do it again.

Depend
Tendency
During a large disaster, like Hurricane Katrina, warnings get hopelessly jumbled. The truth is that, for warnings to work, it's not enough for them to be delivered.

- Gary Wolf
Cannot
Defect
The lack of belief is a defect that ought to be concealed when it cannot be overcome.

War

- Munshi Premchand
Strong
Feel
The person who lets them get you down, any kind of problem, is the person that fades out.

That's the way I feel.

I Think
Everybody

- Maria Shriver
Lazy

- Marian Seldes
Minority
Had
I had to overcome a lot of barriers. Until 1947, it was illegal for people from the subcontinent to migrate to the U.S. The subcontinentals were the last ethnic minority to gain citizenship. You assimilate. My name was too hard. They said, 'Shad is what we are calling you.' You go with the flow.

Fact
Tabloid
Trying to overcome addiction is one of the hardest things for a person to do. And the fact that I had to do it under the scrutiny of tabloid press at first made it seem even more difficult.

I Think

- Stephen Harper
Reasons
Tendency
For me, one of the major reasons to move beyond just the planting of trees was that I have tendency to look at the causes of a problem. We often preoccupy ourselves with the symptoms, whereas if we went to the root cause of the problems, we would be able to overcome the problems once and for all.
- Wangari Maathai

Our publicist at Warner Brothers is a young guy who has worked so hard for seven years with us and when we saw him backstage he broke down and cried. He couldn't believe it happened. It was seeing him so overcome when we realised how much it really meant.

Behind
When we look at government in Washington or what's happening on Wall Street, we see so much centralization. But really, our goals should be to eliminate and overcome these central institutions.

- Paulo Coelho
Characters
Wound
I was too ashamed and afraid to confide in friends, and wanted to convince others and myself that my marriage was a success. I lost myself in my writing.

- Michelle Carter
