I was one of those children forced into fighting at the age of 13, in my country Sierra Leone, a war that claimed the lives of my mother, father and two brothers.

There’s no doubt in my mind that I wouldn’t be in the position that I am if I didn’t have my ‘One Tree Hill‘ fans. They’re the most dedicated, devoted fans. They’re behind you no matter what. If one person says one bad thing about me on Twitter, they’re fighting back!
No matter if you win or lose, the most important thing in life is to enjoy what you have.
Dong Dong
Poetry is not a matter of feelings, it is a matter of language. It is language which creates feelings.
The flag is a symbol of our freedom, and burning it absolutely is one of the least patriotic things that a person could possibly do.

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.
Hippocrates
Age does not matter if the matter does not age.

Feminism is not dead, by no means. It has evolved. If you don’t like the term, change it, for Goddesssake. Call it Aphrodite, or Venus, or bimbo, or whatever you want; the name doesn’t matter, as long as we understand what it is about, and we support it.
I have had UFO experiences, and yet, at the same time, I can easily be convinced that none of it is true. It’s hard to say whether or not you’re a believer. I’ve been interested in that subject matter, like lots of people. Perhaps foolishly, I’ve allowed some of that stuff to creep into my music.
No matter what, our American Army is so big, and we are so very thankful to them.
Suga

I say ‘no’ to nothing, ‘yes’ to moderation. That’s how I approach everything. No matter if it’s candy or foie gras. When you have the real deal, you’re satisfied with that one bite. I say go full throttle and call it a day.

I think when people begin to tell their stories, everything changes, because not only are you legitimised in the telling of your story and are you found, literally, like you matter, you exist in the telling of your story, but when you hear your story be told, you suddenly exist in community and with others.

I believe that two people are connected at the heart, and it doesn’t matter what you do, or who you are or where you live; there are no boundaries or barriers if two people are destined to be together.

I write for a radio show that, no matter what, will go on the air Saturday at five o’clock central time. You learn to write toward that deadline, to let the adrenaline pick you up on Friday morning and carry you through, to cook up a monologue about Lake Wobegon and get to the theater on time.
Family has always been the number one priority no matter what happens anywhere else.
What my political views or my constitutional views are just doesn’t matter.

Brandon Jenner

When my son was growing up, I was always guilty, no matter what I did. Make decisions and be happy with the decisions you’ve made. I tell myself, in the long run, it’s the love, the quality of relationships that you have with your family, your friends and giving back to the community that matters.

What convinces is conviction. Believe in the argument y

That’s what I love about Australia: we can do things the way we want to do them, because that’s the way our country is – no matter what culture you come from, you can come to Australia and practise your religion, you can practise your beliefs, and you shouldn’t be judged for it.
War may sometimes be a necessary evil. But no matter how necessary, it is always an evil, never a good. We will not learn how to live together in peace by killing each other’s children.

I am a Christian person, and I do love the Lord, and I feel no matter who you are, what you believe, how you live your life, it’s not my place to judge. I don’t have that power.

No matter what your mission is, have some notion in your head. Forget the model, whether it’s government or nonprofit or profit.

We expert teachers know that motivation and emotional impact are what matter.

Veronica Lake

LeVar Burton
If you want to do something, what does it matter where you are ranked?

Never say 'no' to pie. No matter what, wherever you are

Never say ‘no’ to pie. No matter what, wherever you are, diet-wise or whatever, you know what? You can always have a small piece of pie, and I like pie. I don’t know anybody who doesn’t like pie. If somebody doesn’t like pie, I don’t trust them. I’ll bet you Vladimir Putin doesn’t like pie.

No matter how civilized we are and how much society has curbed violent behavior. Human beings still have the same genes they had 10,000 years ago.

There’s always room for improvement no matter what.
Water is life’s matter and matrix, mother and medium. There is no life without water.
Albert Szent-Gyorgyi
You just have to do your own thing, no matter what anyone says. It’s your life.

What does it matter how many lovers you have if none of them gives you the universe?
Jacques Lacan
Nothing can be divided into more parts than it can poss
