Every bad joke, every endorsement deal, all of the things that a typical host would normally get creamed for, people don’t mind, because they know I don’t cheat when it comes to the work I actually try. I’m a lab rat. I’m a perpetual apprentice. The joke is on me if there is one.
356
The past is our definition. We may strive with good reason to escape it, or to escape what is bad in it. But we will escape it only by adding something better to it.
357
TV does not care about you or what happens to you. It’s downright bad for your health now, and that’s not a far-out concept. I think watching the TV news is bad for you. It is bad for your physical health and your mental health.
358
359
If I’m in a bad mood, or if I’m uncomfortable, it’s probably what I’m wearing that’s making me feel that way.

362
363
364
My view is regardless of whether you think prohibiting abortion is good or whether you think prohibiting abortion is bad, regardless of how you come out on that, my only point is the Constitution does not say anything about it. It leaves it up to democratic choice.
365

Everything’s not black and white. We choose to make bad decisions or not.
377
378
I did the best I could, and in some arenas, my best was not good enough. I’ve made some bad choices.
379
It’s very true that you can be both selfless and selfish at the same time. What we tend towards, particularly in filmmaking, is this binary sort of, ‘This is a good guy, this is a bad guy.’ And I quite like the fact that life is a bit more complex than that.
380
I am mean; I’m nasty at times. I don’t feel like talking to people at times. When I am in a bad mood and have had a really awful day, don’t come in my face because I am not tolerant and I am not a goddess; I can’t handle it after a point. I am going to get up, and I am going to scream, and I am going to say bad things to you.
381
I grew up upper-class. Private school. My dad had a Jaguar. We’re African-American, and we work together as a family, so people assume we’re like the Jacksons. But I didn’t have parents using me to get out of a bad situation.
382
We can’t pick out certain incidentals that don’t go our way and act like the cops are all bad… Do you know how bad some of these neighborhoods would be if it wasn’t for the cops?

384
Life doesn’t imitate art, it imitates bad television.

389

Everything is a learning lesson, good and bad, so I am happy with the way things are, and I learned from everything negative. I am in a great space now, so I wouldn’t change a thing!
400
You may go through a lot of good times, you may go through a lot of bad times, you just have to try to prepare yourself as best as you can, and for me, that’s just sticking with my family.
401
We have no reason to think that climate change is harmful if you look at the world as a whole. Most places, in fact, are better off being warmer than being colder. And historically, the really bad times for the environment and for people have been the cold periods rather than the warm periods.
402
The beginning of a friendship, the fact that two people out of the thousands around them can meet and connect and become friends, seems like a kind of magic to me. But maintaining a friendship requires work. I don’t mean that as a bad thing. Good art requires work as well.
403
I was shy when I was a kid, I was very shy, but now I think I’ve improved a lot. I can speak OK with the media and with the people. My English is still bad but I feel a little bit better now than before.
404
In bad times, the rich usually get richer.
405

412
A man is as good as he has to be, and a woman as bad as she dares.
413
The only difference between Benito and Bad Bunny is 16 million followers on Instagram. And the money that Bad Bunny has in the bank. Benito had, like, $7. The numbers are different, but I’m still the same. Even my insecurities remain the same.
414
Old people love to give good advice; it compensates them for their inability to set a bad example.
415
There are going to be good times and bad times, but lighten up.
416
417
I like policy. It’s why I decided to enter government. The other thing I like about government – you have good days, you have bad days, but you never have a boring day, and that’s important to me.
418
Television, radio, social media. The 24/7 news cycle plows forward mercilessly on our desks, in our cars and in our pockets. Thousands and thousands of messages and voices bombard us from the moment we wake, fighting for our attention. All we see and hear, all day long, is news. And most of it is bad.
419
420
Civil disobedience is, in fact, a conservative idea, a few steps short of overt rebellion. It honors the rule of law by insisting on good law and rejecting bad law.
421
We have had 10 years of bad governance, and we may not recover if another bad government is elected.
422
423
424
I never went to a John Wayne movie to find a philosophy to live by or to absorb a profound message. I went for the simple pleasure of spending a couple of hours seeing the bad guys lose.
425
426
More information is always better than less. When people know the reason things are happening, even if it’s bad news, they can adjust their expectations and react accordingly. Keeping people in the dark only serves to stir negative emotions.
427
One lives with so many bad deeds on one’s conscience and some good intentions in one’s heart.

430
I believe that everyone has good days and bad days, but you can’t let the bad times beat you down.
431
I think segregation is bad, I think it’s wrong, it’s immoral. I’d fight against it with every breath in my body, but you don’t need to sit next to a white person to learn how to read and write. The NAACP needs to say that.
432
We need to make sure we’re all working together to change mindsets, to change attitudes, and to fight against the bad habits that we have as a society.
433
434
435

436
You don’t stop living because bad things happen. You keep going.
437
We all have them, those parts of us that are the greatest parts of us and the worst parts of us. Sometimes we’re put in circumstances and bad choices are made.
438
My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what’s keeping my head above the water.
439
Your karma should be good, and everything else will follow. Your good karma will always win over your bad luck.
440
In the last analysis, even the best man is evil: in the last analysis, even the best woman is bad.
441
Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.
442
443
When man possesses a good, sound body that does not overpower him nor disturb the equilibrium in him, he possesses a divine gift. In short, a good constitution facilitates the rule of the soul over the body, but it is not impossible to conquer a bad constitution by training.
444
People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad.
445
My motto in life has always been ‘Everything happens for a reason.’ No matter what, good or bad, there is a reason for it all.
446
There are two ways to go when you hit that crossroads in your life: There is the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay. Now, I’m sitting here and doing great.
447
But when you truly get to know me, I’m a good guy. I’m not the bad boy people think I am.

451
Bad human communication leaves us less room to grow.
452
Read, every day, something no one else is reading. Think, every day, something no one else is thinking. Do, every day, something no one else would be silly enough to do. It is bad for the mind to continually be part of unanimity.
453
Having the family around is always very important because they are supportive. If you have a good day, you can enjoy it together. And if you have a bad day, you always find something as a distraction with your children, because they are normally happy.
454
I enjoy life when things are happening. I don’t care if it’s good things or bad things. That means you’re alive.
455
456
I have good and bad days like everyone else. I just try to be positive and surround myself with great people. When I think about all the great things and people I have had in my life, that gives me confidence.
457
Nothing can affect my voice, it’s so bad.
458
459

I’m better for all the things that have happened to me, the good and the bad.
463
If anything goes bad, I did it. If anything goes semi-good, we did it. If anything goes really good, then you did it. That’s all it takes to get people to win football games for you.
464
You stand with the least likely to succeed until success is succeeded by something more valuable: kinship. You stand with the belligerent, the surly and the badly behaved until bad behavior is recognized for the language it is: the vocabulary of the deeply wounded and of those whose burdens are more than they can bear.
465
466
I’m proud to be associated with the value system at Berkshire Hathaway; I think you’ll make more money in the end with good ethics than bad.
467
468
You have good days and bad days.
469
470
No one knows what’s a good idea or a bad idea until you try it.
471
Good can exist in bad, and bad can exist in good. It’s not black and white.
472
As Faulkner says, all of us have the capacity in us for great good and for great evil, for love but also for hate. I wanted to write those kinds of complex character in a fantasy, and not just have all the good people get together to fight the bad guy.
473
474
The biggest lessons I’ve learned in life have probably come from a bad situation, from an angry situation, even if I wasn’t the one who was angry.

486
487
If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.
488
489
I’m a nice guy – until you get on my bad side.

I’ve discovered if you have a small circle of people you know you can rely on – in good times, bad times, happy times, sad times – who aren’t going to judge you and will, sometimes, just sit and listen to you without saying anything, then I think you’re very fortunate.
494
An unfortunate thing about this world is that the good habits are much easier to give up than the bad ones.
495
Google is working on self-driving cars, and they seem to work. People are so bad at driving cars that computers don’t have to be that good to be much better.
496
This continuing spike in gas prices is bad for consumers, bad for our economy, and bad for all other businesses. It is hurting us and costing us jobs.
497
Four legs good, two legs bad.
498
499
Bad things do happen in the world, like war, natural disasters, disease. But out of those situations always arise stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
500
The more real and genuine we are about ourselves, the more others will know that there is no shame in struggling, or feeling low, or anxious or having bad days – we all have them.
501
It’s so interesting how you can take a bad situation and make a great song out of it that somebody else can listen to and have a completely different perspective of the song and have their own meaning. That’s what’s great about it.
502
I don’t know if I am cut out to playing a bad character or not – I really should give it a shot. I would like to play the voice of a baddie, but that’s really just a cop-out!
503
I talked to the players and tried to make them aware of what was good and bad, but I didn’t try to run their lives.
504
505
When times are bad is when the real entrepreneurs emerge.
506
History isn’t just the story of bad people doing bad things. It’s quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.
507
It’s not that every single thing that happens on Facebook is gonna be good. This is humanity. People use tools for good and bad, but I think that we have a clear responsibility to make sure that the good is amplified and to do everything we can to mitigate the bad.
508
Right actions in the future are the best apologies for bad actions in the past.
509

518
519
520
521
I don’t really view communism as a bad thing.
522
I’m really bad with answering questions. Usually, I don’t even answer them. I try to find inspiration inside of the question. I think, and I jump from one beam of inspiration or energy to the next, as opposed to explaining the energy.
523
524
Every experience, good or bad, you have to learn from.
525
You just have to keep the same mentality of trying to prove yourself every single day. But it’s a lot of easier when you have people telling you how bad you are than when people are telling you how good you are.
526
It’s possible for me to make a bad movie out of a good script, but I can’t make a good movie from a bad script.
527

528
529
Hair color is the easiest way to change your appearance, but a bad dye job might draw more attention to you.
530

All in all, I wouldn’t call it a bad outing. It was a short outing.
534
A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge… stretching for results he prefers rather than those the law demands.
535
I feel like I’m a New Yorker because I really know the city. I actually tell the drivers where to go – I have this bad habit, I always question the drivers. I do that all the time because I feel like I know the best way, when really it’s like, ‘Yo, man, shut up. This dude does this every day of his life.’
536
I hope I go to Heaven, and when I do, I’m going to do what every San Franciscan does when he gets there. He looks around and says, ‘It ain’t bad, but it ain’t San Francisco.’
537
538
Some days are just bad days, that’s all. You have to experience sadness to know happiness, and I remind myself that not every day is going to be a good day, that’s just the way it is!
539
There’s good and bad everywhere in any aspect in life. The only people who we can’t really trust are politicians. Because those guys lie to everybody and constantly.
540
A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won’t be too bad.
541
I was really good at being a bad guy.

544
My view is there’s no bad time to innovate.
545
Did you ever spell a word so bad that your spell check has absolutely no clue what you’re trying to spell? What do you end up getting, you end up getting, like, a question mark. You got a million dollars of technology just looking back at you like, ‘You got me, buddy. Which is pretty amazing because I have all the words.’
546
547
It’s bad taste to be wise all the time, like being at a perpetual funeral.
548
549

550
I’ve been a bad boy trying to be a good man my whole life.
551
552
We all have life storms, and when we get the rough times and we recover from them, we should celebrate that we got through it. No matter how bad it may seem, there’s always something beautiful that you can find.
553
The reason why it is so difficult for existing firms to capitalize on disruptive innovations is that their processes and their business model that make them good at the existing business actually make them bad at competing for the disruption.
554
Bad things are not the worst things that can happen to us. Nothing is the worst thing that can happen to us!
555

There’s no bad consequence to loving fully, with all your heart. You always gain by giving love.
558
You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don’t enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It’s not the law-abiding citizens, it’s not the person who uses it as a hobby.
559
One of my favorite things to do is to play music really loud and dance my butt off in the morning. I’ll do it alone in my apartment. You can’t have a bad day after that.
560
And yet to every bad there is a worse.
561
562
I have had bad luck with injuries, but I can’t keep saying I’ve been injured a lot.
563
564
565
I like the term ‘misunderstood.’ But I am a bit of a bad boy.
566
567
It takes many good deeds to build a good reputation, and only one bad one to lose it.
568
569
570
571
The question is: how bad do things have to get before you will do something about it? Where is your line in the sand? If you don’t enforce the constitutional limitations on your government very soon, you are likely to find out what World War III will be like.
572
Guns are bad, I tell you.
573
I like to think that even if we make some really bad choices and go down some bad paths, we’ll eventually emerge from it.
574

It is easier to prevent bad habits than to break them.
576
577
Whenever I’m stressed out or having a bad day, the one thing that gets me happy or back into like a good place of mind is being on the golf course. I love being out there, especially really early in the morning getting the first tee time out and just playing by myself. It’s so peaceful.
578
Too bad that all the people who know how to run the country are busy driving taxicabs and cutting hair.
579
580
I’ve dealt with a lot of people with bad intentions. Just because somebody has a following does not mean that they are a good person or a good friend.
581
You have to tell the whole truth, the good and the bad, maybe some things that are uncomfortable for some people.
582
583

584
585
Bad taste creates many more millionaires than good taste.
586
587
Submitting to censorship is to enter the seductive world of ‘The Giver‘: the world where there are no bad words and no bad deeds. But it is also the world where choice has been taken away and reality distorted. And that is the most dangerous world of all.
588
589
Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.

595
596
I have been to hell and back. I had a very, very bad nervous breakdown.
597

598
599

600
Acknowledging the unproductive thoughts and ineffective behavior that you’ve tried to ignore can be uncomfortable. But, stepping out of your comfort zone and choosing to proactively address bad habits will skyrocket your ability to create long-lasting change.
601
You do the right thing even if it makes you feel bad. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to be worthy of happiness.
602
Distance is a bad excuse for not having a good relationship with somebody. It’s the determination to keep it going or let it fall by the wayside; that’s the real reason that the relationships continue.
603
I’m doing my best to be mindful about how I’m living: to be kind and patient, and not to impose a bad mood on somebody else. Being mindful is as good a way to be spiritual as anything else.
604
605
Most people don’t have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.
606
A Buddha is someone who finds freedom in good fortune and bad.
607

608
I’m gonna bring Bad Brains vibes ‘cos that’s what I do.
609
610
Science fiction encourages us to explore… all the futures, good and bad, that the human mind can envision.
611
I don’t believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you’re spending your time doing something worthwhile.
612
People say, ‘Well you know the economy’s bad, so China consumption will be low. No, totally different. You Americans love to spend tomorrow’s money, and other people’s money maybe… We Chinese love to save money.
613
Crime and bad lives are the measure of a State’s failure, all crime in the end is the crime of the community.
614

618
All the religious wars that have caused blood to be shed for centuries arise from passionate feelings and facile counter-positions, such as Us and Them, good and bad, white and black.
619
620
By all means, marry. If you get a good wife, you’ll become happy; if you get a bad one, you’ll become a philosopher.
