Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.
Chanakya
People say it's a movie about boxing, but... I don't agree at all. I don't think it's a movie about boxing. Boxing is like a platform. It's just a stage where this is played out.
Morgan Freeman
I've been very fortunate to be able to use my series as a platform to show a good message for the kids.
Chuck Norris

Phil Harris

Stephen Harper

Billy Sunday
I have a very good family. I'm very fortunate to have a very good family. I believe very strongly in the family. It's one of the things we have in our platform, is to talk about it.
Dan Quayle

Franz Beckenbauer
