Every time I rap about being a big girl in a small world, it’s doing a couple things: it’s empowering my self-awareness, my body image, and it’s also making the statement that we are all bigger than this; we’re a part of something bigger than this, and we should live in each moment knowing that.
19
Climate change does not respect border; it does not respect who you are – rich and poor, small and big. Therefore, this is what we call ‘global challenges,’ which require global solidarity.

I always believe that people can learn a broader skill set. You need good technology and solving a big problem. I always think that, at it’s core, it’s solving a problem; you’re not building technology for the sake of technology.

59
If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that’s what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that’s what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don’t try to be authentic and real with themselves.
60
I’m different than most people. When I cross the finish line of a big race, I see that people are ecstatic, but I’m thinking about what I’m going to do tomorrow. It’s as if my journey is everlasting, and there is no finish line.

A lot of people tend to chew up the scenery. I’m a firm believer in less is more, especially on the big screen.

In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it’s a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger?

83
The blockchain concept was pioneered within the context of crypto-currency Bitcoin, but engineers have imagined many other ways for distributed ledger technology to streamline the world.

What I realized is that it doesn’t matter how big or small your film is. The actual filmmaking process, the actual storytelling, it’s still the same thing. It’s still all about creating characters that you like and creating moments that get you excited or get you tense.

It is unfortunately true that our generation and that of your parents have left you with a big mess that will now be yours to clean up: wars, budget challenges, pollution, global warming, battles of health care, natural disasters.

110
The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.

113
Oprah Winfrey is a big role model for me from a business capacity and a creative capacity. She is an incredible interviewer who cultivated a certain style by inserting her own personhood into a show on national television at a time when no one was talking about empowerment, spirituality, or our inner lives.
114
Now most of ‘Alice‘ isn’t really a political social commentary, but I think a big message is here is that the culture we’re involved in is fascinated with very quick fixes and instant gratification.

I stopped going to high school when I met Big Pun, which wasn’t the smartest thing. So I never got my diploma. When I went to prison, it’s mandatory to get your GED if you don’t have a high school diploma.

124
125

127
It’s good for Brazilian football to have idols, stars, big stars coming back to Brazilian clubs. The tournaments become much better, more interesting.

128
129
There’s a moment when you come to a certain point, and if you make the leap you get to the big leagues. But if you back away, you get stuck.

134
I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had written… Daydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn’t have much of a social life going on.
135
136
137
I’m still a kid. I’m like six years old. But it’s just a matter of wanting to get up, it’s just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.
138

140
141
142

Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There’s still time, but not a lot, to turn things around.
144
You don’t have to be fearless to do anything; you can be scared out of your mind. I fear that I won’t get better and that I won’t have time to practice. To be called a ‘jazz musician‘ – it’s a big responsibility.
145
146
I’m a big believer that if you want things to change you have to embody that change.
147
148
I love San Francisco so much. I call it the Emerald City and have been coming here since 1992. I have a few old friends that live here, and my aunt and uncle live in Oakland. I think it’s a magical city – it’s big, sexy and very ‘cosmo’ with a small-town feel.
149
Prisons are big businesses, which I hadn’t realized. A lot of these name brand labels that we wear – they’re using prison labor and exploiting prisoners, who live in harsh conditions. People need to know about this kind of sweatshop labor, so they can decide what to spend their money on.

166
167
168
I’m a big dog fan. They’re the best. They make life better, although they’re hard to deal with. But complications in life are actually what make it fun.
169
I have an interesting perspective on depending on others. I think it gives people a chance to serve. And I’m not so much big on independence, as I am on interdependence. I’m not talking about co-dependency, I’m talking about giving people the opportunity to practicing love with its sleeves rolled up.
170
171
Starting a business and building a product are not for the faint of heart. You have to learn to not let little disappointments get you down and to stay focused on the big picture.
172

180
I am a big car enthusiast. I totally understand guys like Jay Leno who have a thousand cars. But asking me my favorite car would be like asking my favorite song or favorite food – it changes everyday.
181
182
183
184
All of the great social justice advances that we ever had in this country have come not from people with big titles and not from people at the top, but just from everyday people getting together saying ‘Enough is enough. I’m going to change this, and I’m going to get involved, and I am going to be engaged.’
185
If I had an ego as big as the Eiffel Tower, would I have won this many collective trophies? I know people like to talk about it. And O.K., I am not going to answer every story. But maybe I will let my collective trophies speak for themselves. I don’t know many other footballers who have won as much. Do you?
186
187
I was very into making the Big Artistic Statement – it had to be innovative; it had to be cutting edge. I was desperately keen on being original.
188
189
Supermarket companies are big logistics companies, and one of the ways we’ve increased profitability in the past is by re-evaluating how they do logistics.
190
191
192
Those who see the cosmic perspective as a depressing outlook, they really need to reassess how they think about the world. Because when I look up in the universe, I know I’m small but I’m also big. I’m big because I’m connected to the universe, and the universe is connected to me.
193
We’ve seen filibusters to block judicial nominations, jobs bills, political transparency, ending Big Oil subsidies – you name it, there’s been a filibuster.
194

200
201

213

As a boss, as a CEO, as a creative director, as a chef, I’ve learned that failure will always come. I’ve learned to give it a big squeeze, smile at it, humble myself to it and then use it as a springboard to send me on my way to strength, success, and fulfillment.
215
Sexuality is a big issue, but there are others – how much you commit to a relationship, to social obligation, to honesty and being honest with yourself.
216
Baseball is a game based on adversity. It’s a game that’s going to test you repeatedly. It’s going to find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and force you to adjust. That adversity, in the big picture, is a really good thing because it shows you where your weaknesses are. It gives you the opportunity to improve.
217
The big ‘Aha!’ moment is that the trauma never goes away.
218
What is the American dream? The American dream is one big tent. One big tent. And on that big tent you have four basic promises: equal protection under the law, equal opportunity, equal access, and fair share.
219
Remembering that I’ll be dead soon is the most important tool I’ve ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything – all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure – these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important.
220
221
Your big opportunity may be right where you are now.
222
It is a big temptation to me, when I create a character for a novel, to say that he is what he is because of faulty wiring, or because of microscopic amounts of chemicals which he ate or failed to eat on that particular day.
223
224
Apart from being motivation for themselves, I think big givers should also talk about their philanthropy so that their work and their success stories prove inspirational enough for many others to follow.
225
I just think a big smile and feeling confident makes you beautiful.
226
227
Go for great. Own your game. Be kind. Get big things done.
228
229
When I was learning to drive, I thought the big milestones were changing gear, changing lane, and three-point-turns.
230
I like the city. I like the concrete. I like big business. I like being a CEO of my own company and having a lot of responsibilities. At the same time, when I can go off with a backpack or off on a surfboard or even off on a run somewhere in the woods – that’s where I’m really happy.
231
232
233
Same sex marriage, it’s not a big concern to me.
234
I always dreamed of making it big.
235
236
237
The trick to forgetting the big picture is to look at everything close-up.
238
Look at a football field. It looks like a big movie screen. This is theatre. Football combines the strategy of chess. It’s part ballet. It’s part battleground, part playground. We clarify, amplify and glorify the game with our footage, the narration and that music, and in the end create an inspirational piece of footage.
239
The big thing for me is just continuing to be a beacon of hope. And showing people that nothing is impossible.
240
241
242
243
I feel blessed that I had an opportunity to be in the Big Ten for four years as a player and be in the Big Ten as a coach for eight years. To get 12 years in a conference like the Big Ten – it’s a first-class league with great towns and great fans.
244
245
If you are bowling well and not getting wickets, it’s not a big issue. Sometimes I am economical, but not getting enough wickets. But if I am not bowling well and not getting wickets, then it’s a disturbing thing.
246
247
I wish for a world where people understand that life is short. So today’s the time to do big things.
248
249
Lunchtime and recess, that was a big part for me growing up. I think it’s important for kids to have that.
250
Courage is willingness to take the risk once you know the odds. Optimistic overconfidence means you are taking the risk because you don’t know the odds. It’s a big difference.
251
I feel incredibly successful. I make a living as a writer and am able to help support a big family, my church, my bleeding-heart causes.
252
253
254
None of us got to where we are alone. Whether the assistance we received was obvious or subtle, acknowledging someone’s help is a big part of understanding the importance of saying thank you.
255
Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something.
256
257
If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
258
I think the human race made a big mistake at the beginning of the industrial revolution, we leaped for the mechanical things, people need the use of their hands to feel creative.
259
Have a bias toward action – let’s see something happen now. You can break that big plan into small steps and take the first step right away.
260
I’m a pretty positive person, so a bad mood is quite a big deal.
261
262
263
Barcelona is one of the best cities in the world. I love it there. I love Big Sur. It’s stunning and you get a therapeutic experience there. The drive up the coast is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever done. Also, Hong Kong. I could easily live there!
264
I’m a big ‘Goosebumps‘ fan – ‘Revenge of the Lawn Gnomes.’ My favorites are the pick-your-own-death ones.
265
I am not a big fan of positive thinking. The term suggests that there is something negative that you have to counteract by being positive. That is an artificial duality.
266
267
268
I’d love to work with some of the people I’ve remixed for – Ed Sheeran or Chris Martin or The Weeknd. But it’s not just big names like these guys that I want to collaborate with.
269
It seems that the small movies are a little more risky and cutting-edge. You’ve got your big commerce and you’ve got your small films that you’re more passionate about.
270
271
272
Bangladesh is not a rich country, but we have a big heart.
273
You’ve got to think about big things while you’re doing small things, so that all the small things go in the right direction.
274
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
275
276
277
Growing up, I knew I was different. But I didn’t know what it meant to be Aboriginal. I just knew that I had a really big, extended family. I was taught nothing about who we were or where we came from.
278
Work hard, play hard, dream big, love loads, laugh as much as you can, and give back.
279
280
I’m a massive fragrance fan – I think fragrance is part of someone’s hygiene, and I’m a big believer in leaving an impression through scent.
281
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
282
I fear those big words which make us so unhappy.
283
284
285
286
To many people, ‘biodiversity‘ is almost synonymous with the word ‘nature,’ and ‘nature’ brings to mind steamy forests and the big creatures that dwell there. Fair enough. But biodiversity is much more than that, for it encompasses not only the diversity of species, but also the diversity within species.
287
I’d like to congratulate myself, and thank myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.
288
289
290
My father, Oliver Hynes, was an educator. He was originally just a teacher, a very good one, but then he was promoted to be in charge of education for the entire area. He was always an inspirational teacher. He was my big personal supporter, always coming here for the Tony Awards. My mother, Carmel, was a homemaker.
291
292
Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.
293
I was never the smartest guy in the room. From the first person I hired, I was never the smartest guy in the room. And that’s a big deal. And if you’re going to be a leader – if you’re a leader and you’re the smartest guy in the world – in the room, you’ve got real problems.
294
I’m a big, big fan of cheesecake, so I love baking that.
295
You can be beautiful with big breasts; you can be beautiful in your 40s. If you don’t have perfect ankles, still you can move your legs in a certain way and look very sexy.
296
Don’t go getting mixed up in the business of your betters, or you’ll land in trouble too big for you.
297
Fame is a funny thing. I like doing normal things. I like going to fairs. I like going to ball games. I like going to Disney World or a big field on the Fourth of July and having picnics with friends. The problem is you’re either worried you’re going to be recognized, or you’re thankful you’re not. It’s always there.
298
299
Even if you don’t have time for a big workout, stretching in the morning and night really changes your body.
300
It’s a really paradoxical thing. We want to think big, but start small. And then scale fast. People think about trying to build the next Facebook as trying to start where Facebook is today, as a major global presence.
301
302
People think that it is important to learn by assisting the great photographers. I say that is a big mistake. Be happy; just learn from any little guy. Learn how to use the camera – you don’t need anything else. You can’t be taught the real skill anyway.
303
304
I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life – to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.
305
I remember being young in the 1960s… we had a great sense of the future, a great big hope. This is what is missing in the youth today. This being able to dream and to change the world.
306
307
The more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.
308
309
Actually, because of new technologies, my full studio is on my laptop. And I have a little keyboard in my bag. I can make everything I do come from my laptop. Even when I go to a big studio, all I do is to plug in my laptops. That’s they way I do it.
310
311
I feel like, at times, I’ve been seen as the dirty stepchild of Australian comedy. I think there’s a few people out there that are pissed off that I made it big overseas.
312
I never did smoke that much pot; never was a big pothead.
313
Nobody will ever notice that. Filmmaking is not about the tiny details. It’s about the big picture.
314
315
In England, football is a big thing to talk about, but Liverpool, it’s a special place. You feel it when you make your first step.
316
I’ve got big feet, so filling someone else’s big shoes doesn’t scare me.
317
I’m a fun-loving guy. I enjoy my life. I have a big kid inside me.
318
319
320
Never give up on what you really want to do. The person with big dreams is more powerful than the one with all the facts.
321
Most young people were getting jobs in big companies, becoming company men. I wanted to be individual.
322
I grew up in a family of Republicans. And when I was 18 and registering to vote, my mom’s only instruction was ‘You just go in and pull the big Republican lever.’ That’s my welcome to adulthood. She’s like, ‘No, don’t even read it. Just pull the Republican lever.

I have a big box of autographs. I took photographs of me and Marlene Dietrich, me and Ida Lupino. I took pictures of Myrna Loy and Joel McCrea in front of the studios. I loved Hollywood. I have 500 autographs and 500 photographs I took.
324
No matter how big you are, when you go back home, your family treats you like a normal person.
325
326
Regarding marriage, it – somehow, it didn’t happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.
327
328
329
330
People think that the Middle East is very complex but I have an analogy that sums it up quite well. If you imagine that Palestine is a big cake, well… that cake is being punched to pieces by a very angry Jew.
331
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
332
Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
333
Philosophy teaches you to think big.
334
335
336
Everybody said you’re never going to win this whole Classic. You’re not strong enough. You’re big, you’re athletic, you’re fast – but you will never win this Arnold Classic. Those were the people who didn’t believe in me… I put in the work every single day – and here I am, three times champ!
337
338
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
339
I have beautiful, beautiful clothes, designed by my bachelor boy son, Kenny. Kenny has a big following as it is, and even Lady Gaga has asked Kenny to design dresses for her. But Kenny isn’t very keen on, well, shall we say, extreme women. He likes someone that women all over the world can identify with.
340
341
My job as a DJ and a producer is just to have a big encyclopedia in my head.
342
I think the only way I could make something fun and big is if I don’t expect it to be.
343
I’m a big believer in picking your boss, not the job. Great people create great jobs.
344
Me personally, I want to entertain people above all. When you look back at burlesque in history and the real golden age of burlesque, those entertainers were there to entertain, and there wasn’t usually some big political message behind what they were doing.
345
346
347
348
349
The 1960s was an era of big thoughts. And yet, amazingly, each of these thoughts could fit on a T-shirt.
350
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
351
352
I guess my critics say, ‘He must be crazy. Nothing can be that beautiful.’ But when you think that there are so many people around the world who have nothing, you realize how lucky you are to be making a living in the big leagues.
353
Let’s face it; God has a big ego problem. Why do we always have to worship him?
354
355
People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
356
I am a big Beatles fan. And, you know, unbeknownst to anyone, I used to be one. But I have no problems of putting titles and lines from other songs in my songs, because they’re great lines and great titles.
357
For all my friends in the media who like quotes, mark this quote down. From this day on I’d like to be known as ‘The Big Aristotle’ because Aristotle once said, ‘Excellence is not a singular act; it’s a habit. You are what you repeatedly do.’
358
I believe in believing. My coach John Kavanagh is a big atheist, and he is always trying to persuade people to his way of thinking, and I think, ‘What a waste of energy.’ If people want to believe in this god or that god, that’s fine by me; believe away. But I think we can be our own gods. I believe in myself.
359
You shouldn’t feel guilty about taking time for yourself. Every so often, everyone needs to give themselves a big ol’ bear hug and treat themselves to some TLC.
360
You can’t jump from little things to big things. It just takes time and patience.
361
362
363
It’s the little details that are vital. Little things make big things happen.
364
I believe the ability to think is blessed. If you can think about a situation, you can deal with it. The big struggle is to keep your head clear enough to think.
365
Listen, if you don’t talk big game, you never get anywhere. If you don’t think big, you don’t get big. Some people call it egotistical, some people call it high hopes, some people call it confidence. It’s all in how you want to dissect it.
366
It is difficult to think of a major industry that AI will not transform. This includes healthcare, education, transportation, retail, communications, and agriculture. There are surprisingly clear paths for AI to make a big difference in all of these industries.
367
See, ‘A Time to Kill’ was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
368
I was a small-town boy with big dreams.
369
Probably because I’m from a middle class family, I have that nature in me that I don’t get too excited with big things.
370
371
372
Vision 2030 is about a lot of big opportunities, so Aramco is one of them, Neom another opportunity.
373
The blues and jazz will live forever… So will the Delta and the Big Easy.
374
Confidence is everything, and the way you carry yourself, your posture, eye contact, all of that is such a big role in impressions, regardless of your size.
375
I had an incredibly full life with my imagination: I used to have all sorts of trolls and things; I had a wonderful world around my toys and invented people. I don’t mean I had imaginary friends; I just had this big imagination thing going on. I didn’t need any imaginary friends, because I had so much other stuff going on.
376
There’s always going to be someone out there… who doesn’t believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you’re not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing.
377
378
379
380
381
There is no Left and Right any more. Left and Right is irrelevant… We need big change. We’ve got to get back control of our country.
382
I’m big on the studio. I like to stay in it 24/7.
383
Every opportunity that comes your way, you can’t take lightly. You have to take it very, very seriously, because the opportunities are limited. If you want to keep working, you can’t be such an elitist, to say no, that’s not good enough, not big enough, not smart enough, whatever.
384
We’ve definitely had our share of ups and downs as a group, and there were times we’ve faced some pretty big challenges, but we were able to get through these times, which allowed our bond to grow stronger.
385
I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion‘s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.
386
I’m a big laser believer – I really think they are the wave of the future.
387
The big talent is persistence.
388
389
390
We think big and we dream big.
391
392
393
394
395
I grew up in New Mexico, and the older I get, I have less need for contemporary culture and big cities and all the stuff we are bombarded with. I am happier at my ranch in the middle of nowhere watching a bug carry leaves across the grass, listening to silence, riding my horse, and being in open space.
396
397
398
The big moments for me are moments when I can actually contribute.
399
When I speak out against the guns or against the big corporations, some of my friends say, ‘Oh Yoko, be careful. These people have all the power.’ But, you know, most people don’t speak out because they are frightened.
400
I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.
401
402
403
Questions and answers is a big space, and there are lots of possible systems that you can create for different goals.
404
405
It’s odd, that’s why I don’t like telling people I played field hockey. It’s real big in Australia for guys. But I say I played in America, and everybody goes, ‘Oh, you girl!’
406
407
I’m a big candle guy.
408
409
Don’t let people make you afraid of taking chances in life. And if you fail, it’s no big deal. Get back up and fight through it and be successful again. If you did it once, you can do it again.
410
411
A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don’t have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.
412
Some sunshine is good for the soul, but I always make sure I wear a big hat.
413
414
415
416
How do you change the world? Bring people together. Where is the easiest big place to bring people together? In the work environment.
417
Big money is made in the stock market by being on the right side of the major moves. The idea is to get in harmony with the market. It’s suicidal to fight trends. They have a higher probability of continuing than not.
418
I’m a big believer in living out your dreams and facing your fears.
419
Big Brother is watching you.
420
The big advantage that we have as a venture capital firm over a hedge fund or a mutual fund is we have a 13-year lockup on our money. And so enterprise can go in and out of fashion four different times, and we can go and invest in one of these companies, and it’s okay, because we can stay the course.
421
422
423
424
I bet taxpayers remember providing more than $812 billion to Citigroup and Bank of America, two Wall Street banks, in 2009 to bail them out during the 2008 financial crisis. Taxpayers remember that generosity; big banks evidently don’t.
425
I’ve been a big fan always of getting my camera in different places and trying to seek the unusual vantage point.
426
427
When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.
428
People say, ‘Dream big!’ – but you have to think about the logistics. It’s not just coming up with a great idea; it’s how you can sell or market or promote that great idea.
429
Details create the big picture.
430
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
431
But if you can’t relish playing in big games like this then it’s not worth it.
432
433
The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less.
434
Some scientists think it may be possible to capture a wormhole and enlarge it many trillions of times to make it big enough for a human or even a spaceship to enter.
435
Solving big problems is easier than solving little problems.
436
437
You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too.
438
439
I served in all commissioned ranks from a second Lieutenant to a Major General. And during that time, I spent most of my time being a high-class muscle man for Big Business, for Wall Street, and for the bankers. In short, I was a racketeer for capitalism.
440
441
If you should put even a little on a little and should do this often, soon this would become big.
442
443
444
I’ve never seen anywhere in the world as beautiful as Kashmir. It has something to do with the fact that the valley is very small and the mountains are very big, so you have this miniature countryside surrounded by the Himalayas, and it’s just spectacular. And it’s true, the people are very beautiful too.
445
To maintain our entrepreneurial spirit, we have to create a culture in which everyone remembers that every order, big or small – and every interaction, every moment – will define what our company is today and what it will become tomorrow.
446
When my girlfriend‘s away, I cook a big vat of meaty pasta and sauce and eat that for about a week. Then I eat out the rest of the time. When she’s home, we eat at home probably twice a week. I chop, she cooks.
447
448
A lot of people knew at the national tournaments that I was a big puncher. We were known as ‘Samson,’ the boy with the long hair.
449
450
451
No problem is too big to run away from.
452
453
If your watch is slow by just four minutes, that’s not much – unless you’ve been warned that if you’re even one minute late ever again you will be fired. Then four minutes make a big difference.
454
The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers.
455
Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.
456
It’s very important that we don’t make the same mistakes twice. That’s a big part of improvement.
457
458
If you can build a business up big enough, it’s respectable.
459
I’m big. I’m strong. I’m fast. I have the hips. I have the footwork. I’m always trying to perfect my craft, and at the end of the day, I’m just a competitor.
460
I feel like I have a big forehead.
461
How would you like a job where when you made a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo?
462
I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career, including any of the things that I’ve accomplished, I never thought in a million years that I would be here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself, and you put your mind to something, you can do it.
463
If you’re not big enough to lose, you’re not big enough to win.
464
When you get to play with the big boys, your game improves drastically.
465
466
Happiness always looks small while you hold it in your hands, but let it go, and you learn at once how big and precious it is.
467
Doctors look after me. But, basically, I look after myself. I don’t overeat. I don’t develop a big paunch. I do a little bit of exercise. At the same time, I believe that if you don’t work, you will decay. The decay process is through not using your faculties – not using your brain, not using your body.
468
I love having short hair – that means I can wear big earrings and even dresses sometimes without me feeling too feminine.
469
470
No matter how big or soft or warm your bed is, you still have to get out of it.
471
472
You have to have a dream, whether big or small. Then plan well, focus, work hard, and be very determined to achieve your goals.
473
Free enterprise makes people prosperous, all people prosperous, and big government makes people poorer.
474
Yes, I’m from a very big family but it’s great. All my brothers are friends as well. We all grew up together and have great memories.
475
I put little goals in place every day, and I think if you can kind of keep to the small things it’s easier to capture the big picture at the end.
476
477
The predominant theory of the origin of the universe is the Big Bang.
478
I’m not that big a celebrity. I’m just an ordinary person.
479
Modi has always been very particular about law and order. He believes in fairness and justice, and encouraged us to simply work as per law without fear or favour. His ability to think big and implement it on the ground is exemplary. He had a vision of a bank account for every household.
480
There’s a big difference between being racist and racially insensitive.
481
I don’t think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don’t think he’s a big football fan.
482
The financial crisis of 2008 was not caused by investment banks betting against the housing market in 2007. It was caused by the fact that too few investors – including all of the big investment banks – bet too heavily on the housing market in the years before 2007.
483
Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn’t listening.
484
It’s not how big your pencil is; it’s how you write your name.
485
486
You’ve got to believe in your damn self and do the damn thing, so I’m a big believer in self-belief, man, and going out there and working hard and sacrificing.
487
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.
488
If you look at the common denominator of all the comics who have had big success, it’s being true to their nature… that’s what takes a long time to learn.
489
Breakfast is a big deal. I love it.
490
I’m a big cardigan sweater guy.
491
492
I had a jazz trio, a rock n’ roll band, and I played drums in junior high, high school, college, big bands, and I played timpani in the symphony. I am a drummer. It’s the one instrument I actually play pretty well. It’s just hard to carry on your back.
493
I love food. I’m a big food person. I’m really passionate about eating good food all the time.
494
I have a big head, so I can appreciate a good hat.
495
496
497
498
499

The nameless loser in Jay McInerney’s ‘Bright Lights, Big City’ is going to the dogs like a gentleman. He is too smart to blame anyone for the impasse he has come to, hip enough to know he does not know enough, too sophisticated to masquerade as an anti-hero.
501
Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don’t know that I’m an example. I hate to say, ‘Yes, look at me. I’m a good example of being Mormon.’ I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I’m a good example.
502
We also cannot allow Wall Street banks to rewrite the Second Amendment just because they’re too big to fail.
503
504
I think the big thing is keeping positive energy in the clubhouse. The amount of time we spend in there and spend together carries over into what you do on the field.
505
The big problems are where people don’t realise they have one in the first place.
506
507
508
I’ve got a big heart and I believe in good karma.
509
You need a big ego to be an artist.
510
511
Indians have a big problem with alcohol and drugs. I grew up with an admiration for their culture and was sensitive to their problems.
512
With the computer and stuff, the difference between a rich guy and a poor guy, to me, is nothing. Because I don’t like big houses, I don’t drive a car, so you know, I just live in a small apartment and I have my computer, which is really cool.
513
Life is one big transition.
514
515
I’m not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.
516
When ordering lunch, the big executives are just as indecisive as the rest of us.
517
518
Holding true to what you believe – even in a big city – is so important.
519
Just because I managed to do a little something, I don’t want anyone back home to think I got the big head.
520
If I love you, I show you I love you every day. Little things, big things.
521
I’m a big believer in the emotion of design, and the message that’s sent before somebody begins to read, before they get the rest of the information; what is the emotional response they get to the product, to the story, to the painting – whatever it is.
522
Adding muscle and strength will be a big help to me.
523
524
525
I want to be that Latin girl doing big things around the world.
526
527
528
I played some ping pong with the guys on the T’Wolves team. I might have been the champ on that team, too. But ping pong is a big part of my life. I grew up playing it against my brother and my father when I was young. They used to kick my behind for a long time, so I got very good at it.
529
We don’t really have any big family traditions; just spending time with each other is the most important part.
530
531
All my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it.
532
533
I’ve suffered rib injuries, but I’ve never had a broken one. I’ve dislocated it and popped it, and even that, a big step down from broken, it hurts so bad. But you can’t really move. You can’t even fully breathe and take a deep breath of air.
534
535
We never worry about the big things, just the small things.
536
I’ve got to be honest and say that, growing up, I wasn’t a big sports guy, but I love the camaraderie. I just love people getting together, fighting for a team and getting super-emotional about it.
537
Many leaders of big organizations, I think, don’t believe that change is possible. But if you look at history, things do change, and if your business is static, you’re likely to have issues.
538
Don’t hold on to the past; it won’t help in moving forward. Dare to dream big.
539
540
Dream big and anything is possible.
541
I never do anything to make money. I do make money, but that’s because I do something. Big difference.
542
543
Money was a big differentiator when I was growing up, but I made sure it doesn’t stay that way.
544
I think gratitude is a big thing. It puts you in a place where you’re humble.
545
One of biggest lies in politics is the lie that Republicans are the party of big business. Big business does great with big government. Big business is very happy to climb in bed with big government. Republicans are and should be the party of small business and of entrepreneurs.
546
I never officially came out in any kind of really public way. I just always lived very simply and openly, but the press has never made a big fuss about me or said anything to me.
547
548
Just because Pluto or comets aren’t as big as Jupiter doesn’t mean they are not scientifically important – indeed, just the reverse is often true. Sometimes, great things come in small packages.
549
Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business.
550
Don’t use words too big for the subject. Don’t say ‘infinitely‘ when you mean ‘very’; otherwise you’ll have no word left when you want to talk about something really infinite.
551
There’s a big, wonderful world out there for you. It belongs to you. It’s exciting and stimulating and rewarding. Don’t cheat yourselves out of this promise.
552
553
I have an amazing group of people around me who are always like, ‘Oh, wow, you’re doing such amazing things. But don’t get a big head,’ and I’m like, ‘Thanks, man, appreciate it.’ It helps, you know?
554
I want people to dream big.
555
Living big and joyful and content is almost always the result of our finding satisfaction in life’s ordinary day-to-day pleasures. And God must be fond of them, too, for He made so many of them for us to enjoy.
556
You have to think big to be big.
557
558
I never looked at the consequences of missing a big shot… when you think about the consequences you always think of a negative result.
559
560
561
562
I love cartoons. I’m just a big kid.
563
564
If you look at the history of innovation, the innovations coming through the defence department have been some of the most important innovations ever. Little things like drones, sensors, and the Internet of Things are defence-type initiatives, but the big one is the Internet itself.
565
I’m not a big fan of fame; I’m a big fan of success.
566
Vitiligo is just another difference, like freckles, big hair, tiny ears Everyone has differences.
567
568
569
Organic food is the best for you, and I’m eating the best, a lot of fresh vegetables. I also keep myself hydrated. It’s all made a big difference to my performance in the gym.
570
571
When lorry drivers come up behind me and I’m cycling, innocently keeping to my side of the road, and they decide because they are so big, and their lorry is so powerful, and they just want to clear me out of the road, and they hoot aggressively, then I do see red a bit. I do.
572
I just think that VR and AR are going to be a really big deal.
573
I better make the plot good. I wanted to make it grip people on the first page and have a big turning point in the middle, as there is, and construct the whole thing like a roller coaster ride.
574
The big picture doesn’t just come from distance; it also comes from time.
575
576
I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that God holds tomorrow, so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen, He loves me so big, so much. I come through it and I grow from it, because He has got me.
577
578
I just wish the world was twice as big and half of it was still unexplored.
579
I believe people who go into politics want to do the right thing. And then they hit a big wall of re-election and the pettiness of politics. In the end, politics gets in the way of the business of people.
580
If you’re going to have a cabin fever, have a big cabin, you know.
581
582
Politics isn’t about big money or power games; it’s about the improvement of people’s lives.
583
I don’t walk around big headed. I’m not a superstar.
584
I’m a big fan of working out on my own. I put my headphones on and I’m pretty good at self-motivating. At the end of the day, I enjoy it. Once I’m there and once I get going, I tend to love it, and I feel good.
585
I was the guy who had been bouncing around the film industry for years, and I’d been lucky if five or 10 people would see my movies, so Captain Jack did a big flip for my career.
586
Space is an inspirational concept that allows you to dream big.
587
588
Supplements have always been a really big part of my training regimen.
589
590
591
I have a big passion for flowers and nature.
592
I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.
593
594
I grew up in a big Italian family.
595
596
All successful people men and women are big dreamers. They imagine what their future could be, ideal in every respect, and then they work every day toward their distant vision, that goal or purpose.
597
People can say what they want about me. But I’ve got a big heart and will keep going.
598
I’m a big believer that life changes as much as you want it to.
599
Big results require big ambitions.
600
I have undergone plastic surgery. I got my breasts done. Big deal.
601
I’m an optimistic guy. I’m one of those big dreamers. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination.
602
I feel lucky that I got to work with some of the big legends in town.
603
Pick battles big enough to matter, small enough to win.
604
605
I live in a craftsman house, but I’m a big fan of modernist and mid-century furniture and architecture, too. But my dream is to do a truly original chair design, something that is all these different things but is my own, too.
606
Death is just life’s next big adventure.
607
