133
On my own or with a friend, I’m a shopaholic, and I particularly love the cleaning aisle in the supermarket. But when I’m with my husband, I’m shop shy because he can’t bear it. It always ends up with us making a huge scene on the High Street and then going off in a huff in separate directions.
134
I don’t read my books, I write them. Once I’ve finished the many years it usually takes me to write them, I can’t bear to read them, because I’ve spent too long with them already. I’m not advertising them very well, am I?

138

153
So much of selling a film in the industry is about creating a fulcrum where all the pressure comes to bear, and something seems suddenly valuable and approved by an audience.

154
‘Tis better to bear the ills we have than fly to others that we know not of.
155
In 1791, the right to bear arms to defend against an over-reaching government wasn’t theoretical. Today, it’s hard to imagine physical weapons serving the same purpose.

156
I love food, but I can’t bear to read about it, to talk about it, to discuss the consequences and context of how we consume it. And this is more or less how I feel about raising children, too.
157

169

170

172
In my first book, ‘Ghosts Of Manhattan,’ the setting was Wall Street, and I explored the predictable nature of a bond trader inside the compensation scheme at Bear Stearns and the government regulations of Wall Street. That was about money.

I think of myself as a bit of a mother bear, and if anybody poses a threat to my kids they’ll see both my mother’s heart and my warrior spirit. I think that they’re compatible.
174
I have a massive phobia for schedules and calendars. I need people to tell me where I need to be. I can’t bear to see it in black and white. I think it’s a fear of being pinned down.
175
I like to connect with people and suss them out. There’s no better way than seeing how they react if you just bear into them.
176
I had to weave and play around with a honey bear, you know, and I could wrestle with him a little bit, but there’s no way you can even wrestle a honey bear, let alone a grizzly bear that’s standing ten feet to eleven feet tall! Can you imagine? But it was fascinating to work that close to that kind of animal.
177
It isn’t till now, in the American Century, as we have recklessly dubbed it, that tribal pressures toward conformity have been brought to bear so ruthlessly upon men and women seeking to work creatively.

194
195
Romance-comedy films usually get led by the main actor and main actress, just the two of them. Indeed, I was not sure if I was ready to bear the responsibility before casting in ‘7th Grade Civil Servant,’ but I started gaining more and more confidence as the drama went on.
196
197
It’s not just politicians. Any spokesman for a vested interest is well schooled in how to say what it is they wish to say, which may bear no relation at all to what you’ve asked them.

201
The fundamental idea which defines a human being as a Muslim is the declaration of faith: that there is a creator, whom we call God – or Allah, in Arabic – and that the creator is one and single. And we declare this faith by the declaration of faith, where we… bear witness that there is no God but God.
202

204
205
For whatever trauma came with service in tough circumstances, we should take what we learned – take our post-traumatic growth – and, like past generations coming home, bring our sharpened strengths to bear, bring our attitude of gratitude to bear.
206
I’m supportive of women, absolutely, and it’s so gratifying to have girls come up and say, ‘I’m really inspired by your guitar playing.’ I mean no disrespect to the sisterhood, but musically I feel more drawn to things like Dirty Projectors, the National and Grizzly Bear.
207
In global warming, I think everyone is scratching their heads – are there technological things that can be brought to bear that can make a difference?
208
209
210
211

213
214

217
218
219
220
Deterrence is still fundamentally about influencing an actor’s decisions. It is about a solid policy foundation. It is about credible capabilities. It is about what the U.S. and our allies as a whole can bring to bear in both a military and a nonmilitary sense.
221
I had a vision – and I saw white spirits and black spirits engaged in battle, and the sun was darkened – the thunder rolled in the Heavens, and blood flowed in streams – and I heard a voice saying, ‘Such is your luck, such are you called to see, and let it come rough or smooth, you must surely bear it.’
222

223
224
225
Our adversaries must see diplomacy as their best option because war with the United States will force them to bear enormous costs.
226
227

228
229
230
231
Clearly, America’s dysfunctional food culture must bear some of the blame for our excess pounds, but it’s likely our walking-averse lifestyles contribute as well.
232
I was never a big fashion person, and so I’m sure I wore whatever. I was growing, and so I just wore whatever clothes that weren’t that expensive and made sense at the time. But I’m sure that I look back and say, ‘What was I thinking?’ My adolescence was more in the ’80s, and that’s more my cross to bear.
233

234
235
236

237
238
239

240
After I make some bad shots, it makes me bear down and concentrate more.
241
The baby boomer surge is forcing society to face decisions about costs – and particularly what is valuable. It’s senseless for clinicians and governments to bear these choices alone; a sad effect of needless paternalism is that it places a false burden on responsible people.
242
243
With acting, I started very young, and I’d performed for a lot of children in boarding schools, late at night after the dormitory lights were out. I’d have a flashlight, and I’d be Count Dracula, or Shakespeare, or Yogi Bear, and leap from bunk to bunk. I loved the laughter; I liked the way it made people feel.
244
Like the philosopher, the author views his task as one of establishing a clear connection between life and history, and of making the past bear fruit for the present and future.

Keep both heart and hand in your own possession, till you see good reason to part with them; and if such an occasion should never present itself, comfort your mind with this reflection: that, though in single life your joys may not be very many, your sorrows, at least, will not be more than you can bear.
246
247
248
249
Most of the victims of Nazi aggression were before the war less well off than Germany. They should not be expected by Germany to bear, unaided, the major costs of Nazi aggression.
250
I know that I’m not the easiest person to live with. The challenge I put on myself is so great that the person I live with feels himself challenged. I bring a lot to bear, and I don’t know how not to.
251
252
I mean, the question actors most often get asked is how they can bear saying the same things over and over again, night after night, but God knows the answer to that is, don’t we all anyway; might as well get paid for it.
253
254
255
Victoria was just as much in love with me as I was with her. We could not bear to be apart for a single second. We were like two lovers shipwrecked on a desert island. There was no world outside our love.
256
I want my work to influence public conversation, to turn heads, and to bear witness to this problem that’s raging in our cities. If journalism helps me with that, I’ll draw on journalism… and I’m not going to worry too much if academics get troubled over that distinction.

265
People have debated both sides of the Liefeld influence, good and bad, and I maintain the sales and the results of that time bear out that people love that stuff.
266
Off the court, I’m a totally different person. I’ve heard people be like, ‘Oh, so sweet, like a big ole teddy bear.’ But I guess I still have that look on my face in a game. I guess I still have a vibe where it’s intimidating.
267
268
I know how easy it is for some minds to glide along with the current of popular opinion, where influence, respectability, and all those motives which tend to seduce the human heart are brought to bear.
269
Good thoughts bear good fruit, bad thoughts bear bad fruit.
270
271
The proper means of increasing the love we bear our native country is to reside some time in a foreign one.
272
Duane Allman might be my favorite guitar player ever. I’d say I’m influenced by the Allman Brothers more than any other band. When I taught guitar lessons for a living, the students that were interested in soloing had to learn the intro to ‘It’s Not My Cross to Bear’ first thing.
273
274
I want people to have the right to bear arms.
275

277
All countries will feel the increasing effects of dangerous climate change and it is those least able to bear it who are already being hurt first and hardest.
278
Elephants are social, thoughtful animals. They live in communities and – I have to say it – in matriarchal societies. They bear no grudge, but they remember well.
279
280
281
The great advantage of having a bear as a central character is that he can combine the innocence of a child with the sophistication of an adult.

283
Speak the truth, and all things alive or brute are vouchers, and the very roots of the grass underground there, do seem to stir and move to bear you witness.
284
I looked at Randy White… I looked at Klecko. I looked at Gino Marchetti. I looked at a lot of players. Bob Lilly. There are players I looked at over the years when I was a young player and tried to steal a little bit from their game and fit it into my game. And Joe Klecko was someone I thought was a bear to deal with.
285
The markets are like a weather; you may not like it but you have to bear it.
286
287
I just consider myself slightly left-of-center. I’m not your average bear. I – what’s the word? I’m not – normal.
288
289
290
Well, the first thing that clued me in to the fact that there was something really scary about breast cancer, way beyond the thought of dying, was coming across an ad in the newspaper for pink breast cancer teddy bears. I am not that afraid of dying, but I am terrified of dying with a pink teddy bear under my arm.
291
Every man deems that he has precisely the trials and temptations which are the hardest of all others for him to bear; but they are so, simply because they are the very ones he most needs.
292
293
294

295
296
I bear no grudges. I have a mind that retains nothing.
297
The U.K.’s relationship with the U.S. has proved strong enough over time to bear the weight of honest disagreement. It does not require unconditional support where our interests or judgements differ.
298
Parents do bear some of the responsibility if they don’t talk to their kids, are never around, even deny their kids the love that young girls often crave when they decide to have a baby.
299
I’m not great at dealing with death, I have to say. I find death very hard: my mum, my dad, Sid Vicious. I’m not a monster; I feel it and it scares me. One death at a time, please, is all my heart will bear.
300
The 1960s was a heroic age in the history of the art of communication – the audacious movers and shakers of those times bear no resemblance to the cast of characters in ‘Mad Men.’
301
Suarez? I bear no grudges.
302
303

304
305
306
307
We are strong enough to bear the misfortunes of others.
308
309

310
311
The Indian voter will not shy away from sacrificing in the national interest. If the voter is convinced that high oil prices are a national challenge and that the government is doing its best to deal with the challenge, the voter would be willing to bear the burden.
312
313
314
315
Appreciation has become my destiny in life. Perhaps it’s the instinct of a polar bear enjoying hibernation in the vast snows.
316

‘Infernal Affairs‘ uses a vibrating terseness usually found in the writer and director Michael Mann’s work. Thematically, this film deploys the techniques Mr. Mann brought to bear on ‘Heat,’ right down to using a similar cold-blooded electronic score.
322
Sorrow is a fruit. God does not make it grow on limbs too weak to bear it.
323
324
Fozzie Bear has so many bear puns in this script – like, ‘Trac is grizzly!’ ‘This is unbearable!’ It’s the greatest.
325
326
The only stuff I don’t like are Broadway musicals. I hate them. I don’t even like to talk about it. I can’t bear musicals.
327
328
What is attempted in these film is of course a synthesis. But it can be seen by someone who has his feet in both cultures. Someone who will bring to bear on the films involvement and detachment in equal measure.
329
330
I do not believe the efforts of the international community to stop Iran‘s nuclear program will bear fruit.
331
332
333
The only thing I won’t eat is swede – I can’t bear it.
334
335
336
Hong Kong‘s government needs to bear most of the responsibility for the Fishball Revolution.
337
I think it’s a very central tenet to it yes, it is. I can’t bear it, I can’t bear inequality, I can’t bear bad behaviour to other people. I cannot bear it that people are mean to people who can’t help what they are.
338
There are seeds of self-destruction in all of us that will bear only unhappiness if allowed to grow.
339
The band broke up because I couldn’t bear Rotten anymore because he was an embarrassment with his silly hats and his, like, shabby, dirty, nasty looking appearance.
340
I feel like a tree. A tree doesn’t feel a duty to start doing something about the earth from which it comes. A tree just has to bear fruit, and leaves and blossoms. It doesn’t feel grateful to the earth.
341
Bear in mind that you are not making music for your own pleasure, but for the pleasure of your audience.
342
If bad things are going to be said about me, I have to bear that. If I don’t understand that it’s part of being in show business, then I’d better go work in a bank.
343
344
Within the walls of our own homes, we can and should bear pure testimony of the divinity and reality of the Father and the Son, of the great plan of happiness, and of the Restoration.
345
Death and love are the two wings that bear the good man to heaven.
346
I don’t think you can write from a reactive place. I think you just write the thing you want to write about, and if other people are writing about it, that doesn’t really come to bear on what you want to do.
347
Faulkner‘s ‘As I Lay Dying’ had an immense effect on me, and most of my novels bear the burn marks of this experience, those short chapters with their conflicting points of view, truth expressed by multiple perspectives. The other attractive thing about ‘As I Lay Dying’ was the way it gave rich voices to the poor.
348
349
If we don’t have the ability to keep and bear arms, then who knows when they are going to decide they want to take the First Amendment away from us, or one of the other amendments.
350
351
I’m like this ghost – you look around, and all you see is the artist. But if you look at the credits, it’s still Poo Bear.
352
353
I like fish, and I also like bear’s paws. If I cannot have the two together, I will let the fish go, and take the bear’s paws. So, I like life, and I also like righteousness. If I cannot keep the two together, I will let life go, and choose righteousness.
354

356
The cell phone has become the adult’s transitional object, replacing the toddler‘s teddy bear for comfort and a sense of belonging.
357
Aged six, I sailed from South Africa to England by steam ship with my family. It was a three-week journey. I remember crying on my birthday when I didn’t get the enormous teddy bear that was for sale in the ship’s shop but, aside from that, I had a wonderful time.
358
359
No men are oftener wrong than those that can least bear to be so.
360
‘On earth the living have much to bear;’ the difference is chiefly in the manner of bearing, and my manner of bearing is far from being the best.
361
362
I only travel to good material, a good director and a good company. I won’t work in another country for a year any longer, because I have a lovely wife and I adore her and I can’t bear to be away from her.
363
Judging the political climate in my state by walking around lefty Ann Arbor is like a polar bear judging global warming by staring at the ice cube beneath its feet.
364
To me, the art of music is magnificent, and I cannot bear to see it treated in a shabby way.
365

369
In Uganda, I am surrounded, unfortunately, by evangelicals; I can’t bear it. Every night I hear the chants of Baptists urging people to be born again.
370
371
372
I feel my role is to push boundaries. I don’t like things to be safe and sedentary. So controversy is the cross I have to bear.
373
374
I like bears. I like bear people. I like bear-type men.
375
Bear up, my child, bear up; Zeus who oversees and directs all things is still mighty in heaven.
376
Let us be of cheer, remembering that the misfortunes hardest to bear are those which never come.
377
Judaism and Christianity in themselves are distinctly separate entities, to be sure; but when considering their influence on Western thought, we must bear in mind that Christianity alone, or almost alone, transmitted the Jewish share, simply by what it contained of it in its own, original constitution.
378
379
Bear the Cross cheerfully and it will bear you.
380
381
I really rely on sleep, and some people call me ‘The Bear’ for my hibernating.
382
Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds of trouble – the ones they’ve had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.
383
I’ve learned lots, obviously – the first thing being never to forget to be grateful. The second is not to bear grudges, because in football, luck does not exist.
384
385
386
I’m black. I’m gay. I’m culturally Christian. I am a walking target on so many levels, and it is horrifying and a cross that very, very many of us who look like me have to bear.
387
388
When companies fail, shareholders bear the losses. It’s just the way our system is supposed to work.
389
390
391
To bear is to conquer our fate.
392
393
I was Obi-Wan multiple years in a row. Alec Guinness‘ Obi-Wan. I was a Dalmatian once because I loved ‘101 Dalmatians,’ and I think I was a Care Bear once and maybe a Spartan cheerleader from the ‘SNL‘ skit. I’m terrible with Halloween, because I come up with these elaborate costumes and never follow through.
394
395
396
The smoothest curled courtier in the boudoirs of a palace has an animal nature, rude and aboriginal as a white bear.
397
The Gun Owner Privacy Act protects the right to keep and bear arms by preventing the Feds from collecting data to monitor and log gun ownership in America. This legislation will give Americans legal recourse and the ability to sue the Feds and collect damages for records illegally stored.
398
As an avid hunter, outdoor enthusiast, and life member of the NRA, I understand the importance of protecting the right to keep and bear arms.
399
One of the biggest mistakes a photographer can make is to look at the real world and cling to the vain hope that next time his film will somehow bear a closer resemblance to it.
400
We want to bear witness today that we know the relation between corporate greed and what goes on too often in the Supreme Court decisions.
401
I feel that the Second Amendment is the right to keep and bear arms for our citizenry. This not for someone who’s in the military. This is not for law enforcement. This is for us. And, in fact, when you read that Constitution and the Founding Fathers, they intended this to stop tyranny.
402
403
404
Your political reputation affects how likely allies are to trust you, and what kind of deals they’ll offer at the negotiating table. There’s also some emotional response in there, so factions do bear grudges. Just like the real thing.
405
I don’t think the federal government has any business keeping a list of law-abiding Americans who exercise their constitutional right to keep and bear arms.
406
407
I do have a nickname with my family; I’m called Snappy, because I do get to be a bit snippy at times. They call me Snappy Bear. That’s from New Hampshire. My dad’s called Crazy, my mother’s Happy – it’s a whole thing.
408
409
410
The whole point of the kingdom of God is Jesus has come to bear witness to the true truth, which is nonviolent. When God wants to take charge of the world, he doesn’t send in the tanks. He sends in the poor and the meek.
411
I’ve always been battling this perception people have of me, this character. It follows me around. ‘Bubba the Bear’ shows up when I’m checking into a hotel, when I’m on a plane. I can’t get upset with people if they’re only aware of a small part of my body of work. But inside I do.
412
I realised the animal agriculture industry is actually awful and tragic and I can’t bear to be a part of that. The environmental impact of the agriculture industry, the health impact on us, there’s all the reasons.
413
As a kid, I was a dancer in Dick Whittington, Snow White and Cinderella. When I was 14, I played Baby Bear. I had a big head on, and you couldn’t see my face. My mum was very disappointed.
414
I’m not sure if I could bear to go on an aeroplane again. It’s not my concern for the welfare of the planet. It’s not even the long check-in times and queuing. No, it’s the humiliation of the security process that has finally done it for me.
415
By standing still, we’re making the things we don’t like about Obamacare even worse, forcing Missourians to bear all the costs of this law – and reap none of the benefits.
416
I’ve never, ever had people being aggressive to me in public or abusing me, and actually quite a lot of men do say to me, ‘You’re quite good’ – though they can’t bear to go, ‘You’re great.’
417
I want to bear down on violent crime, in all its aspects from terrorism to sexual offences but definitely knife and gun crime, particularly as it affects young people.
418
I grew up in South Africa, but like many people at that time, I couldn’t bear living in the country. The main motivation for moving to Britain was to get away.
419
420
If you run from a bear, it’ll chase you. And they can run fast.
421
422
I am a forthright defender of the right to bear arms – which is guaranteed not only by the U.S. Constitution, but by the Constitution of Arizona.
423
Free migration within Europe means that countries that have done a better job at reducing unemployment will predictably end up with more than their fair share of refugees. Workers in these countries bear the cost in depressed wages and higher unemployment, while employers benefit from cheaper labor.
424
In secondary school I was floating – I wasn’t passionate about anything. I did a little sport, but it was pretty joyless because the competitiveness was too much to bear.
425
For some, the fear of coming out is so great, they can continue to live an inauthentic life. But at a certain point, the pain becomes too much to bear. For me, having one more day pass by where I wasn’t living my true self seemed like such a wasted opportunity, such a wasted life.
426
No matter how far they rise, women never stop being the caregiver. At the end of the day, women bear the emotional responsibility for their families.
427
Excess of joy is harder to bear than any amount of sorrow.
428
Most people can bear adversity; but if you wish to know what a man really is give him power.
429
I’ve always been quite thrifty. I can’t bear to spend hundreds of pounds on designer clothes. I shop in second-hand shops in Portobello Road and go to Sue Ryder.
430
I could bear being in the charts and being on everyone’s car radio 10 times a day. I’m just terrified of… a lot of people I respect have done it with a real little ‘ditty’ and that was the end of it – that was all they were ever known for.
431
432
433
Let us tell our legislators in advance, that this is a right, restraints on which, we will not, cannot bear; and that every attempt to restrain it is a palpable wrong on God and man.
434
Charles Barkley, I used to watch him growing up. Then I met him. He was a big teddy bear.
435
Beauty doesn’t need ornaments. Softness can’t bear the weight of ornaments.
436
Audit the Fed is a bill that would politicize monetary policy, would bring short-term political pressures to bear on the Fed. In terms of openness about our financial accounts, we are extensively audited.
437
I go for all sharing the privileges of the government, who assist in bearing its burdens. Consequently, I go for admitting all whites to the right of suffrage, who pay taxes or bear arms (by no means excluding females).
438
I can’t bear it that Douglas isn’t still here.
439
440
Not only are mandatory minimum laws overly punitive and discriminatory, but they’re also expensive. Prison is not free. Governments, and ultimately taxpayers, bear the costs.
441
Sometimes, when you are one of only a couple of girls in an engineering class, you feel like you are representing women in general. That is a large burden to bear.
442
Imperialism was genuinely popular among Athenians who would expect to share in its profits, even if only indirectly and collectively, and not to have to bear its burdens.
443
444
I’ve had many nicknames over the years: V, Nessa, Nessy Poo, Nessy Bear and Van. Only my parents call me Van, though, and I hate it. I get embarrassed.
445
Most people are remarkably resilient. Even those who have been through war or great loss often find reservoirs of strength. But the legacy of trauma is a heavy burden to bear.
446
I always knew that my identity wasn’t in football. It wasn’t in baseball. I knew it’s always been in Christ and just my upbringing has always led me to have a tremendous faith that God was going to see me through and he would not give me too much that I couldn’t bear.
447
My assistants will bear testimony to the fact that I am a very angry man.
448
I’m a touchy-feely person so I can’t bear not hugging. It makes me want to cry.
449
A hurtful act is the transference to others of the degradation which we bear in ourselves.
450
The price of confessing is to be confronted with the truth of who you are – you have to bear your faults, your frailties.
451
452
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
453
The most cogent principle that can be drawn from traditional limitations on the right to keep and bear arms is that dangerous persons likely to use firearms for illicit purposes were not understood to be protected by the Second Amendment.
454
455
456
457
458
Every young person has to bear the burden – heavier in proportion as the individuality is richer – of accommodating himself to existence now that it is no longer seen with the eyes of a child, the eyes to which everything is as it should be.
459
Ronald Coase, in his classic 1937 paper on ‘The Nature of the Firm,’ was the first to bring the concept of transaction costs to bear on the study of firm and market organization.
460
Even in my personal life, I can’t bear to have bad feelings.
461
462
We believed that growth through Local Government, and perhaps through some special machinery for bringing the wishes and influence of women of all classes to bear on Parliament, other than the Parliamentary vote, was the real line of progress.
463
What the feminists want of me is something they haven’t examined because it comes from religion. They want me to bear witness.
464
If the Founding Fathers could have looked into a crystal ball and seen AK-47s and Glock semi-automatic pistols, I think they would say, you know, ‘That’s not really what we mean when we say bear arms.’
465
To act: that is what the writer would like to be able to do, above all. To act, rather than to bear witness. To write, imagine, and dream in such a way that his words and inventions and dreams will have an impact upon reality, will change people’s minds and hearts, will prepare the way for a better world.
466
467
Men can’t bear to see women cry.
468
My belief is that if we take away that right to bear arms, the only people that are going to have them are… the ones breaking into your house.
469
Juggling a huge cast is a bear.
470
The automobile crash was… devastating in ways that I still cannot really bear to think about… It took me many years to recover. In some ways, I never have.
471
Denounce me for advocating freedom if you can, and I will bear your curse with a better resignation.
472
There are a lot of things that come to bear on movies now that I don’t think are good for movies. They’re trying to appeal to the biggest demographic and, when they do that, you sometimes flatten out.
473
474
We never need to feel that we are alone or unloved in the Lord’s service because we never are. We can feel the love of God. The Savior has promised angels on our left and our right to bear us up. And He always keeps His word.
475
The yoke you wear determines the burden you bear.
