287
288

289

343
I knew at an early age I wanted to act. Acting was always easy for me. I don’t believe in predestination, but I do believe that once you get where ever it is you are going, that is where you were going to be.
344
It makes it easy for a player when you’ve got really good teammates and when everyone wants the same thing.
345
Like most women, I thought it would be easy once I decided to start a family. I was surprised that Mother Nature kept poking me in the eye, saying, ‘Nope, nope, nope.’
346
It is easy to get everything you want, provided you first learn to do without the things you cannot get.
347
Everyone has to learn how to live in an environment that has not made it easy for women to claim their place, so I think it’s all women‘s responsibility to step forward.
348
It’s not easy, but I truly that think being a good listener is an important part of being a good journalist.
349
I don’t think it is easy to manage a family.
350
That’s the easy part, to continue to do what you love, to focus, to train, there’s no extra motivation that needs to be added to that.
351
The transition from dictatorship to democracy is always very difficult, and if you read a history of any country that went through this, it wasn’t easy. And, you know, you don’t end dictatorship one day and next day you have fully fledged democracy.
352
It’s very easy to confuse confident motion with being productive – and they’re not the same thing. Productive to me means measurable outcomes that apply to my most important to-dos that positively affect my life. That’s it.
353
It’s not easy to take a sit-com and turn it into a feature.
354
It’s joyful to give. But for people who want to take advantage of you, you’re kind of an easy mark.
355
356
Nowadays, manners are easy and life is hard.
357
358
359
I don’t want a perfect life, I don’t want an easy life, I want to live life to the fullest. To me that feels like conquering as many things as possible.
360
I believe that life is hard. That we all are going to walk through things that are hard and challenging, and yet advertising wants us to believe that it’s all easy.
361
362
363
Fame is easy to acquire; impact is much more difficult.
364
The fight for justice against corruption is never easy. It never has been and never will be. It exacts a toll on our self, our families, our friends, and especially our children. In the end, I believe, as in my case, the price we pay is well worth holding on to our dignity.
365
366
It’s not easy to come somewhere new and have to find your place. You might feel someone doesn’t like you, or you might need to find new friends. It’s not easy, and I don’t like this kind of thing. It’s not easy, so you want to protect the players who are alone.
367
Some songs are dead easy, and others can be quite challenging. Other times, you just have to put it in the bin.
368
It hasn’t always been easy. There’s a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.
369
And it is easy to believe you are not good enough if you listen to everybody else.
370
Being a typical teenager isn’t easy. When you have autism, it can be extra difficult. We need more public awareness about these hurdles as well as compassion towards these young people.
371
372
My first time nude was with a woman director, so I thought it would be easy, but it wasn’t.
373
374
Life is really not easy, we all have our personal battles, but it is important that you really treasure yourself, love yourself and have a sense of self-worth.
375
376
I’m extremely willful to win, and I respond to challenges. Scoring titles and stuff like that… it sounds, well, I don’t care how it sounds – to me, scoring comes easy. It’s not a challenge to me to win the scoring title, because I know I can.
377
It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.
378
379
Love your enemies… it’s not always an easy tenet to live by… and I have more often than not been inclined to wish my enemies ill than well.
380
It’s easy to fool the eye but it’s hard to fool the heart.
381
382
383
Not everybody’s journey is easy, and it wouldn’t be worthwhile if you can’t see what you gained without realizing what kind of battles you’ve been through, what kind of scars you have.
384
Easy mind, light heart. A mind that is too easy hides a heart that is too heavy.
385
386
As I approached my 95th birthday, I was burdened to write a book that addressed the epidemic of ‘easy believism.’ There is a mindset today that if people believe in God and do good works, they are going to Heaven.
387
Health should be easy. The good news is that, through the increasing use of mobile devices with their real-time networking capabilities and by addressing health collaboratively in our communities, we’re accelerating the ‘democratization of health care.’
388
389
Be who you are. It’s easy to feel like you have to blend in, but it takes courage to live your life with conviction and embrace the person that you are.
390
391
It’s not an easy course. It’s not designed to be. We’re not here to get you in touch with your inner child.
392
Nobody said being platinum was easy.
393
It is easy to see why a diversity of cultures should confront power with a problem. If culture is about plurality, power is about unity. How can it sell itself simultaneously to a whole range of life forms without being fatally diluted?
394
395
396
In diagnosis think of the easy first.
397
It’s never easy to write a song. It’s the most difficult thing I do.
398
Being with the mainstream isn’t very difficult – the tide is powerful, and it is easy to let it sweep us along with it. But going against the tide is very difficult. First of all, one must recognise very exactly what the tide is and where it is going.
399
I don’t make films that are easy to market, unfortunately. I think that ‘Pi’ was the easiest one, because we had that symbol to stick up everywhere, so that was a good gimmick, and created a good mystery, and we didn’t have to do huge scale.
400
I think the city isn’t talked about enough, there are not enough people championing Birmingham. When I was at university in Manchester I wasn’t a fan, I was a bit down on my home city. But as I’ve got older I love living here. It’s easy to get around the country to gigs, and it’s a calming, friendly city.
401
Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you’ll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.
402
Marriage ain’t easy, but it’s great most of the time.
403
When you’ve got children, it’s easy to do that thing of keeping a tally of who woke up earliest and whose turn it is to put them to bed. But I think the important thing is to appreciate and love each other and to show that appreciation.
404
You have freedom when you’re easy in your harness.
405
I’ll never feel comfortable taking a strong drink, and I’ll never feel easy smoking a cigarette. I just don’t think those things are right for me.
406
407
408
409
410
I don’t think it is an easy thing to write and expect to be commercial, even if you are from Venus and a hermaphrodite.
411
412
413
It is easy to be brave from a safe distance.
414
415
416
417

418
419
420
It’s easy to gain weight when you’re in the studio.
421
I know that I’m a quirky guy, to say the least. I don’t know how easy I am to cast for a network. It hasn’t been because I haven’t tried. But am I dying to be on a TV show? No.
422
It’s not easy to run a social media account over a long period of time, but we love communicating with our fans every day and night.
423
I’m wide open to getting married, but actors are not easy people to date. You end up sharing that person with this other mistress that is their career. I very much like the traditional courtship method of making a date. That’s what they do in normal places, but Hollywood‘s not normal.
424
425
It’s not easy to leave your hometown and your family and your support system and come out to Los Angeles to – to pursue a dream where the odds are not in your favor.
426
It is the duty of government to make it difficult for people to do wrong, easy to do right.
427
I am naturally disciplined. It started early; you can’t be all free and easy in a family of 10.
428
Gender is not an easy conversation to have. It makes people uncomfortable, sometimes even irritable. Both men and women are resistant to talk about gender or are quick to dismiss the problems of gender. Because thinking of changing the status quo is always uncomfortable.
429
In some ways, it’s better to be undervalued a little than overvalued a lot, just because it’s still easy to believe our best days are ahead of us.
430
Life doesn’t offer you promises whatsoever so it’s very easy to become, ‘Whatever happened to… ?’ It’s great to be wanted. I spent a few years not being wanted and this is better.
431
Carving is easy, you just go down to the skin and stop.
432
433
That’s why the fears of playing or coaching, you want to do everything possible to make it. A lot of teams make it look real easy, but it is hard.
434
I took a whole stunt course and pretty much got certified as a stunt driver. It’s ridiculous how easy it is once you understand the car and know how to do it.
435
436
437
438
439
440
441
Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one’s thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.
442
443
444
445
People think your success is just a matter of having a pretty face. But it’s easy to be chewed up and spat out. You’ve got to stay ahead of the game to be able to stay in it.
446
447
448
449
Like many other people, I grew up with so much adversity and negativity, it would have been easy to get overwhelmed and give in. But by turning negatives into positives, losing into a journey to winning, I have been able to overcome the odds that were against me and change them into motivation for my success.
450
Writing, overall, has never been what I’d call fun. It’s fulfilling. It doesn’t come real easy for me.
451
452
453
454
It’s easy for Americans to forget that the food they eat doesn’t magically appear on a supermarket shelf.
455

456
457

458
Make the hard ones look easy and the easy ones look hard.
459
Direction is not an easy job.
460
461
It becomes very easy as an actor to immerse yourself when you’re in the real places.
462
Sanitation and cleanliness are among the humblest of the civic virtues, and it is easy to underestimate their significance.
463
An important part of dating is communicating. We communicate by sharing our thoughts, ideas, and feelings. We enjoy being with someone when we have an easy time communicating or when we have a lot to talk about.
464
465
The big cop-out would be to accept popularity rather than opting to try to create potent work. It’s so easy to do the popular thing, the expected thing, and that’s where you start to cheat yourself – and your fans, in the end – because there’s an inherent dishonesty in pandering and dishing up what everyone’s expecting.
466
Ordinary language carries with it conditions of meaning which it is easy to recognize by classifying the contexts in which the expression is employed in a meaningful manner.
467
468
469
I’m extremely easy to watch. I think I’m generally handsome, charming.
470
471
You have come into a hard world. I know of only one easy place in it, and that is the grave.
472
Hey, I’m not rich, but I’m lucky. I get to do what I want to do. That’s not an easy thing to do in this country.
473
474
Oh, I loved John Wayne. He was just so charming and easy to work with.
475
476
It isn’t easy to suffer failure, go through all the pain and the hardship.
477
478
It’s all too easy to dismiss the future. People confuse what’s impossible today with what’s impossible tomorrow.
479
It’s easy to blame technology for what we perceive to be a vast disconnect between people. We’re so wrapped up in social media, texting, online dating – in many ways, we’re addicted to our devices.
480
481
Why is our own participation in scapegoating so difficult to perceive and the participation of others so easy? To us, our fears and prejudices never appear as such because they determine our vision of people we despise, we fear, and against whom we discriminate.
482
I have frequently been questioned, especially by women, of how I could reconcile family life with a scientific career. Well, it has not been easy.
483
When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.
484
At last, after completing year 12, I failed the great final examination, repeated the following year and failed again even more dismally than before. This was not an easy thing to do. My mates did the simple thing in the first place and mainly passed with honours and went on to have remarkably successful lives.
485
It is not easy to do something good, but it is extremely difficult to do something bad.
486
I lead a very busy life and don’t have a lot of time, so my skincare needs to be easy and portable.
487
Either you can do what others want, or you can do what you want to do. That’s an easy call.
488
It’s easy to look at the things of this world to solve our challenges and obstacles in life, but when we submit our lives to Christ, His grace, mercy, peace and love will bring true fulfillment to our lives.
489
I’m quite interested in my own mental processes, simply because I’m a failed scientist, and because I’m interested in how the brain and the mind works, and I like to avoid easy descriptions.
490
Easy doesn’t do it.
491
Life is very, very simple and easy to understand, but we complicate it with the beliefs and ideas that we create.
492
I used to be guilty of trying to get a wicket every ball, but I’ve learned the game is not that easy. That’s come with experience.
493
You know, once you’ve stood up to cancer, everything else feels like a pretty easy fight.
494
The life of a model isn’t easy. But I try to keep a good head on my shoulders by staying close to my family and old friends. They’re my support system.
495
496
You don’t realize how easy this game is until you get up in that broadcasting booth.
497
The writing of a melody is an emotional moment; success doesn’t make it easy.
498
Nothing in my life has really ever been easy. I’ve always been someone who did it uphill.
499
My mom told me to cover up my arms ever since I was little because I was muscular. She wanted me to be feminine, which did not come easy to me. My body was what it was, and I worked it to be a better tennis player.
500
Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.
501
Drinking beer is easy. Trashing your hotel room is easy. But being a Christian, that’s a tough call. That’s rebellion.
502
503
It is easy to predict that some of the discoveries of research directed towards Grand Challenges – but only the most unexpected ones, and at the most unexpected times – will be the basis of revolutionary improvements in the way that we exploit the power of our future computing devices.
504
505
506
I think you need to be intentional at times about your leadership – where you’re eating lunch, who you’re interacting with, making guys feel like you’re interested in what they’re doing. If it’s authentic, then it’s going to be an easy conversation and easy hangout time.
507
Dying is easy; comedy is hard.
508
I love who I am, and I encourage other people to love and embrace who they are. But it definitely wasn’t easy – it took me a while.
509
510
511
512
513
It is very easy to love alone.
514
It is easy to respect secular Americans who hold fast to the Constitution and to American values generally. And any one of us who believes in God can understand why some people, given all the unjust suffering in the world, just cannot believe that there is a Providential Being.
515
Good questions outrank easy answers.
516
517
It’s not easy when you were so close to win the title and you lost it.
518
The goalkeeper position is not an easy one. You can only speak about it if you are a goalkeeper yourself.
519
520
521
Evil is easy, and has infinite forms.
522
I’ve got more in common with a three-toed sloth than I have with Winston Churchill. There is no easy comparison with any modern politician. The more you read about him, the more completely amazed you are about what he did – his energy, his literary fecundity, his ability to work – just unbelievable energy.
523
Things have never been easy for us, from the beginning.
524
There is no substitute for hard work. There is no such thing as an overnight success or easy money.
525
Playing a character who’s dealing not only with a superpower but having a normal relationship is easy to associate with, because I feel that everyone has been through it.
526
When the mind has once formed the habit of holding cheerful, happy, prosperous pictures, it will not be easy to form the opposite habit.
527
528
529
Dealing with a newborn baby, a new language and new people can’t be easy on anyone.
530
I’m really happy here at City. It’s a second home to me, so it was an easy decision to stay for the long term. I knew from the beginning when I started here that I wanted to stay for a long time – I can’t see any place better than here.
531
532
533
The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They’re about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
534
I’m a happy guy. I like to joke around. I’m irreverent. I love my family; I love my son. I was very happy with and proud of the birth of my son. I grew up a lot after he was born. I’m just an easy and happy guy.
535
It’s easy being a humorist when you’ve got the whole government working for you.
536
Evolution has ensured that our brains just aren’t equipped to visualise 11 dimensions directly. However, from a purely mathematical point of view it’s just as easy to think in 11 dimensions, as it is to think in three or four.
537
I always say that life is not easy for anybody. People hear about the young actors who have a rough life, but there are plenty of other kids who aren’t actors who have a rough time, too, and I don’t know if the ratio is any different.
538
It is easy to understand God as long as you don’t try to explain him.
539
Being friends with anyone for 30 years is no easy task – people change, they drift apart, they move on.
540
Back then, as a teenager, I kept thinking, why don’t the adults around here just say something? Say it so they know we don’t accept segregation? I knew then and I know now that, when it comes to justice, there’s no easy way to get it. You can’t sugarcoat it. You have to take a stand and say, ‘This is not right.’
541
If you want to do big things, it’s never easy.
542
It’s so easy to just rip someone’s work apart.
543
I’ve never had an easy relationship with critics. I hold a lot of homicide in my heart. If this was another time, I’d be packing a piece.
544
Sorrow is so easy to express and yet so hard to tell.
545
You have to push yourself when you’re older because it’s very easy to fall into the trap. You start to fall apart – you just have to do your best to paste yourself together. I think doing things and being active is very important. When your mind is busy, you don’t hurt so much.
546
Being in the spotlight, you’re always picked apart. It’s not easy. But over time I’ve realized that you can’t please everyone and when you feel overwhelmed, just take a step back. Love yourself first.
547
Learning patience was not an easy lesson.
548
In Slack, you create channels to discuss different topics. For a small group of people, those channels are relatively easy to manage and navigate.
549
550
551
It’s easy for a player to stand out in two or three days. But the grind of a camp, and just the level of consistency in performance that requires, that needs to happen.
552
553
554
555
556
If you want a free email service that doesn’t use your words to target ads to you, you’ll have to figure out how to port years and years of Gmail messages somewhere else, which is about as easy as developing your own free email service.
557
All truths are easy to understand once they are discovered; the point is to discover them.
558

559
560
Music was important. Football was the easy part.
561
It has never been, and never will be easy work! But the road that is built in hope is more pleasant to the traveler than the road built in despair, even though they both lead to the same destination.
562
563
People can hate on you for doing what it is that makes you happy, but ultimately, it has to belong to you. It shouldn’t matter what anyone else thinks. Life is not easy. The road to happiness is not a path well trotted. You have to find your own path to enlightenment.
564
565
Generally, you want to raise capital either when you have to or when it’s really easy. If the company desperately needs money, and they can’t figure out any other way, then they need to raise money. Or if someone’s offering you easy money on good terms, you should take it because you can use it for good things.
566
It is easy to talk on religion, but difficult to practice it.
567
It’s very easy to be cynical about the hall of fame. But on the other hand, it’s really a beautiful thing for someone like me. I dedicated my entire life to this music.
568
It is never easy for a professional cricketer, who has represented his country for 17 years, to forget the past and adopt a new lifestyle.
569
Facing the press is not easy, but because you have to go, you have to try to take a lot of positive things for yourself from these face-to-face meetings.
570
571
The problem is that when Argentina doesn’t play well – and the same is true of Barcelona – the press think it is easy to blame Messi. We have seen time and time again that he wins games on his own when the team is not performing – but the media expect him to always be the hero.
572
It’s not easy for the average family to ensure that their child receives a quality education. And the federal government is not making it any easier.
573
I’m trying to keep a level head. You have to be careful out in the world. It’s so easy to get turned.
574
It is easy to be independent when you’ve got money. But to be independent when you haven’t got a thing, that’s the Lord’s test.
575
576
577
It is not easy to lose or gain weight. The diet and the exercise regime should be compatible with your body, or else you end up with wrinkles and hair loss.
578
579
It’s easy to play any musical instrument: all you have to do is touch the right key at the right time and the instrument will play itself.
580
The first and worst of all frauds is to cheat one’s self. All sin is easy after that.
581
582
It wasn’t easy to get here, and it will not be easy to take my title away from me.
583
Tramping is too easy with all this money. My days were more exciting when I was penniless and had to forage around for my next meal… I’ve decided that I’m going to live this life for some time to come. The freedom and simple beauty of it is just too good to pass up.
584
But if fashion were easy, wouldn’t everybody look great?
585
Touring is easy. My wife will be with me a lot of the time. We get spoilt rotten, and all I have to do is go on stage in wonderful places and play music.
