I was searching for a way to demonstrate 3D movement to my students and one day found myself staring into the River Danube, looking at how the water moved around the pebbles.

108
I found the experience of falling in love or being in love was a death: a death of everything.

In a death-and-rebirth sense.
109

Woody Guthrie
120

Pierre Bayle
123

130

133
I developed my training routine going into my senior year at Jackson State. I found this sandbank by the Pearl River near my hometown, Columbia, Miss. I laid out a course of 65 yards or so. Sixty-five yards on sand is like 120 on turf, but running on sand helps you make your cuts at full speed.
134

If every plant and flower were found in all places, the charm of locality would not exist. Everything varies, and that gives the interest.
136

140

141
We’ve done fMRI scans of people taking the ‘Reading the Eyes’ test, and what we’ve found is that the amygdala lights up in trying to figure out people’s thoughts and feelings. In people with autism, they show highly reduced amygdala activity.

I’ve found that small wins, small projects, small differences often make huge differences.

153

Boxing is one of the hardest jobs in the world, so when I found my career path, what I’d learnt in the boxing gym meant I was head and shoulders above everybody else.
156

J. Edgar Hoover
157
It is the interest of the commercial world that wealth should be found everywhere.
158

160
If I ever found a place where I belonged, that in itself would be an identity crisis to me.
161
Forgiveness is the remission of sins. For it is by this that what has been lost, and was found, is saved from being lost again.

163
Tomorrow morning before we depart, I intend to land and see what can be found in the neighborhood.
164

165
A revolution is an idea which has found its bayonets.
166

167
I don’t journal to ‘be productive.’ I don’t do it to find great ideas or to put down prose I can later publish. The pages aren’t intended for anyone but me. It’s the most cost-effective therapy I’ve ever found.
168
I there represent that I sent notice of my method to Mr. Leibnitz before he sent notice of his method to me, and left him to make it appear that he had found his method before the date of my letter.

Women and men grow up with both sexes. Our mothers and fathers mean a lot to us, so it’s just a question of finding a balance between their influences. I’ve found mine. And it tends to be more on the male side. I mean male side the way we understand it in the West.
171
My idol is Emile Zola. He was a man of the left, so people expected of him a kind of ‘Les Miserables,’ in which the underdogs are always noble people. But he went out, and found a lot of ambitious, drunk, slothful and mean people out there. Zola simply could not – and was not interested in – telling a lie.

176
The morning after my high-school graduation found me up early job hunting. The dream of college I put on the back burner.
Martha Reeves
177
I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people.
178
The most tragic paradox of our time is to be found in the failure of nation-states to recognize the imperatives of internationalism.
179
And then writing, it was like I just found it, you know? Like you just found your favorite flavor of ice cream, all of a sudden there it is. ‘This is what I should have been doing for the last thirty years. What was I thinking?’ So I was, then I was in and then I had to just keep going with it.
180
To such an extent does nature delight and abound in variety that among her trees there is not one plant to be found which is exactly like another; and not only among the plants, but among the boughs, the leaves and the fruits, you will not find one which is exactly similar to another.
181
Psychoanalysis has a degree of unreliability about it. You will never know whether you’ve found the truth. You may find a subjective truth, but you don’t know.
182
Eureka! – I have found it!
Archimedes
183
The advantages found in history seem to be of three kinds, as it amuses the fancy, as it improves the understanding, and as it strengthens virtue.
184
My mother, we were a very poor family. When I was a kid, we would be in our little room, and there would be a knock on the door almost every night with a hobo begging for food. Even though we didn’t even have enough to eat, my mother always found something to give them.
185
There’s nothing that cannot be found through some search engine or on the Internet somewhere.
186
Dr. Einstein was not successful in school, but he found something in the air from his own imagination and his own brain power, and look what he did.
187
As to my followers, I wish no man to follow me who is not sound at the heart in the cause of his country; and either at the head or in the ranks of these, I will always consider it my glory to be found.
188
I used to like to break into other people’s houses and sit in their rooms. I found it very comforting to be in someone’s empty house.
189
You have to understand, beauty differs from country to country. When I came to India, I found my sense of belonging and appreciation. People thought I was beautiful.
190
Every age has found some alternative to American values appealing. The number of Western intellectuals enamored of fascism and all the various expressions of Marxism was legion.
191
What I found over the years is the most important thing is for a team to come together over a compelling vision, a comprehensive strategy for achieving that vision, and then a relentless implementation plan.
192
When I worked in the Department of Justice, in the office of the solicitor general, it was my job to argue cases for the United States before the Supreme court. I always found it very moving to stand before the justices and say, ‘I speak for my country.’
193
Try and leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate, you have not wasted your time but have done your best.
194
When I got religion, I found some work to do to benefit somebody.
195
Absolutely not, because in acting I’ve found a domain that suits me perfectly. And that is so utterly rare.
196
I have always found myself trying to study and analyze the world around me – not just taking everything for granted and following whatever is popular.
197
I dream of not having access to technology. I think it’s a very wonderful time that we have found ourselves in, in terms of access to information, but alone time is better for some personalities than others. And I would very gladly give it up. I think I’d do very well.
198
I’ve found that the people who play villains are the nicest people in the world, and people who play heroes are jerks. It’s like people who play villains work out all their problems on screen, and then they’re just really wonderful people.
199
It is not my fault that certain so-called bohemian elements have found in my writings something to hang their peculiar beatnik theories on.
200
When I found the music of Monk I finally found music that fit that horn. Every one of his tunes fit it perfectly.
201
By packaging a full album into a bundle of music with ringtones, videos and other combinations and variations, we found products that consumers demonstrably valued and were willing to purchase at premium prices. And guess what? We’ve sold tons of them.
Edgar Bronfman, Jr.
202
Experimental work of great refinement is necessary in order to determine atomic weights. No relationships between them have yet been certainly found which make it possible for us to compute by any sort of calculation exactly the value of any one atomic weight from any other.
Theodore William Richards
203
Acting was a hobby for me when I started out, or maybe it was because there weren’t a lot of examples of me when I found an interest in this art form.
204
If the whole universe has no meaning, we should never have found out that it has no meaning: just as, if there were no light in the universe and therefore no creatures with eyes, we should never know it was dark. Dark would be without meaning.
205
I actually found ‘We’re the Millers’ one of the toughest, if I’m honest, least fun experiences of my life, which is weird. It was such a huge opportunity for me to work with the people I worked with and I feel grateful to be a part of that, but it kind of messed me up.
206
I have found life an enjoyable, enchanting, active, and sometime terrifying experience, and I’ve enjoyed it completely. A lament in one ear, maybe, but always a song in the other.
Sean O’Casey
207
I knew I wasn’t going to make money in the beginning, so I found another way to support myself – I was a receptionist. It’s quite smart to work that way. Otherwise, you get vicious and desperate, and no one wants to work with you. Build your career slowly; then people start to trust you and pay you well.
208
When I was 12, I wanted to learn how to play the guitar, and I found a chord book in a shop, and I stuffed it down my trousers. And that’s how I learned to play the guitar.
209
It is the great sadness of our species that we have not found a way to eliminate the conflict and to eliminate violence as a device to resolve our conflicts throughout the entire history of the human race.
210
Found out I’m actually a pretty good teacher.
211
The root causes of the gang culture lie right across the policy spectrum – but they can all be found in the same areas geographically: worklessness; family breakdown; educational failure and addiction.
212
I want kids of this generation to see that everything is cool, that there’s some kind of unity in hip-hop. We all found something that’s really important to us, and music is all we’ve really got.
213
As a child, during the war, I drew Spitfires and Messerschmitts. With Spot, I found that I had designed a fuselage! His spot is on his side, the roundel marking of an English fighter plane, and the color bar of his tail is the color stripes of a plane’s rudder.
Eric Hill
214
I have found adventure in flying, in world travel, in business, and even close at hand… Adventure is a state of mind – and spirit.
Jacqueline Cochran
215
I didn’t know much. It wasn’t possible to buy a book about Nurmi, but I found out that in order to be faster over 10,000m, he ran 5,000m many times in training. And to be better at 5,000m, he ran 1,500m many times. And to be better at 1,500m, he ran four times 400m in training.
Emil Zatopek
216
I have found no greater satisfaction than achieving success through honest dealing and strict adherence to the view that, for you to gain, those you deal with should gain as well.
217
In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that’s fun.
218
Anything salty and crunch is a world of perfection to me. Put chips in front of me, and I will eat to the bottom of the bag. Because I have the tendency to do this, I found these amazing Eden Brown Rice Chips. They’re the perfect amount of salt and crunch, and there’s nothing in them.
219
I found what I was looking for at Langley. This was what a research mathematician did. I went to work every day for 33 years happy. Never did I get up and say I don’t want to go to work.
Katherine Johnson
220
Through the years, I found we had Native American blood in us. My great-grandmother came from the island of Martinique, and they hooked up with the Native Americans of Louisiana.
221
The bee collects honey from flowers in such a way as to do the least damage or destruction to them, and he leaves them whole, undamaged and fresh, just as he found them.
Saint Francis de Sales
222
I’m into ‘The Walking Dead,’ ‘Shaun of the Dead,’ obviously, and I’ve seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on ‘Game of Thrones.’ Weirdly, it wasn’t until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.
223
I have found out in later years that we were very poor, but the glory of America is that we didn’t know it then.
224
Psychologists have set about describing the true nature of women with a certainty and a sense of their own infallibility rarely found in the secular world.
Naomi Weisstein
225
Fame is a lot of fun, but it’s not interesting. I loved being noticed and praised, even the banquets. But they didn’t have anything that I wanted. After about six months, I found it boring.
Jack Gilbert
226
I have always liked running, so it wasn’t particularly difficult to make it a habit. All you need is a pair of running shoes and you can do it anywhere. It does not require anybody to do it with, and so I found the sport perfectly fits me as a person who tends to be independent and individualistic.
227
Researches at Yale found a connection between brain cancer and work environment. The No. 1 most dangerous job for developing brain cancer? Plutonium hat model.
228
All of us are mentors. You’re mentors right here and now. And one of the things I’ve always done throughout my life, I have always found that person, that group of people that I was going to reach my hand out and help bring them along with me.
229
When I found Freestyle Fellowship, I started getting into the construction of rap. You get better at it the more you do it; you figure out the science and the math behind it.
230
Every successful person I have heard of has done the best he could with the conditions as he found them, and not waited until next year for better.
231
I can’t do fiction unless I visualize what’s going on. When I began to write science fiction, one of the things I found lacking in it was visual specificity. It seemed there was a lot of lazy imagining, a lot of shorthand.
232
After being raised as an evangelical Christian, I for years assumed that Christianity was the default – there were Christians, and then there were weirdos. I was shocked when, in college, I found that some people get offended when you tell them, for instance, that their recovery from surgery was a ‘miracle.’
David Wong
233
I searched for years I found no love. I’m sure that love will never be a product of plasticity.
Frank Zappa
234
DePaul‘s plot to deny me tenure had nothing to do with my faults. In fact, and ironically, it viciously attacked me and destroyed my career because of my virtues. Which, although few in number, they still found threatening.
235
I want to do a certain thing in the world, and I am going to do it with unwavering concentration. I am concerning myself with only one essential thing: to set man free. I desire to free him from all cages, from all fears, and not to found religions, new sects, nor to establish new theories and new philosophies.
236
When we pull back the curtain and take a look at what our ‘colorblind’ society creates without affirmative action, we see a familiar social, political, and economic structure – the structure of racial caste. The entrance into this new caste system can be found at the prison gate.
237
Courage is found in unlikely places.
238
A faithful friend is a strong defense; And he that hath found him hath found a treasure.
239
‘The Immigrant Story,’ which took me about twenty-five years to write, was a very simple story, but I couldn’t think of how to tell it. Then twenty years after I started it, I found this one page and realized it was going to be the story. That’s the only way you get it sometimes.
240
I’ve been searching for ways to heal myself, and I’ve found that kindness is the best way.
241
Somewhere it was written that October 18th is my birthday, and some people flew to Georgia to wish me! They came to my college, spoke to my professor, found out where I lived, and they were at my doorstep! I was shocked!
242
If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on.
243
The worship of the golden calf of old has found a new and heartless image in the cult of money and the dictatorship of an economy which is faceless and lacking any truly human goal.
244
When I found out Cusack was involved, I liked that a lot.
245
Nobody likes to be found out, not even one who has made ruthless confession a part of his profession. Any autobiographer, therefore, at least between the lines, spars with his reader and potential judge.
Erik Erikson
246
I’ve always had an eye for what looks good on a man. But I’ve not always found it easy to find clothes that look good on me.
247
Geraldine Ferraro, the first woman to run for vice president, died from multiple myeloma. Frank Reynolds, the ABC anchorman, who I had talked to toward the end of his life, not knowing what he had, died from it. Later I found out that Frank McGee, who was the Today Show host, died from it.
248
It is very, very difficult for a playwright to write a scene in which a young man has his first deep experience of sex with a girl whom he found immensely attractive, is fully satisfied by this event and gets up and blinds a lot of horses.
249
I’ve found that you don’t need to wear a necktie if you can hit.
Ted Williams
250
I never found accents difficult, after learning languages.
251
What I found out about stage is that there is such a camaraderie between the actors.
Angela Watson
252
Many good sayings are to be found in holy books, but merely reading them will not make one religious.
253
He obliged Cinderella to sit down, and, putting the slipper to her little foot, he found it went on very easily, and fitted her as if it had been made of wax.
Charles Perrault
254
When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That’s what inspired the ‘Off to the Racesmelodies. That’s one of the times when you’re feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.
255
I became an adult in an extreme way. I was recently sorting some old photographs and I found another.
256
I place an enormous premium on loyalty. If someone betrays me, I can forgive them rationally, but emotionally I have found it impossible to do so.
257
Live daringly, boldly, fearlessly. Taste the relish to be found in competition – in having put forth the best within you.
Henry J. Kaiser
258
I have lots of heroes: anyone and everyone who does whatever they can to leave the natural world better than they found it.
259
Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport.
260
People love photos. Photos originally weren’t that big a part of the idea for Facebook, but we just found that people really like them, so we built out this functionality.
261
You can’t embrace your whole life if you’re shut down. I found out that I can’t just run away and shut down. I’m losing the rest of my life doing that.
Steve Perry
262
The lover of life makes the whole world into his family, just as the lover of the fair sex creates his from all the lovely women he has found, from those that could be found, and those who are impossible to find.
263
Acting is such a personal thing, which is weird because at the same time it’s not. It’s for the consumption of other people. But in terms of creative outlets and expressing yourself, it’s just the most extreme version of that that I’ve ever found. It’s like running, it’s exertion.
264
Many rock musicians are excellent cooks, I’ve found, and those that are prefer to eat their own cooking in the studio. I encourage this behavior as I also enjoy the benefits of fresh food.
265
I’ve always found that the speed of the boss is the speed of the team.
266
Justice is to be found only in imagination.
267
Once I found out that people were really making careers for themselves off the Internet, independently, I was really inspired.
268
What it meant for me to win the Emmy is I found it. It’s not just the award. It’s what it’s going to mean to young girls – young brown girls, especially. When they saw a physical manifestation of a dream, I felt like I had fulfilled a purpose.
269
I always found that the closer I got to who I really am, on stage, the more they responded to it.
270
Great and glorious God, and Thou Lord Jesus, I pray you shed abroad your light in the darkness of my mind. Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act only in accordance with Thy holy will.
271
I’ve found contemporary Britain difficult to write about because it seems to me to have lacked gravity or grandeur. This is some cultural problem which I don’t really understand. It simply isn’t the same in the United States.
272
Nature is by and large to be found out of doors, a location where, it cannot be argued, there are never enough comfortable chairs.
273
I found a great trainer in Miami with Dodd Romero, who’s worked with a lot of celebrities and athletes. We built a good program for me for training and for me to work on my nutrition and things like that.
274
I don’t want the George Clooney lifelong bachelorhood. If I found the right person, I would commit in a minute.
275
If a politician found he had cannibals among his constituents, he would promise them missionaries for dinner.
276
Plato found fault that the poets of his time filled the world with wrong opinions of the gods, making light tales of that unspotted essence, and therefore would not have the youth depraved with such opinions.
Philip Sidney
277
Creativity is not the finding of a thing, but the making something out of it after it is found.
278
You have to remember that not every creature that was evolving left behind its skull or its tools for our convenience tens of thousands of years later. Most bones or most tools rot or get buried and are never found again.
279
I have found out who are my real friends, thanks to the illness and hospitals.
280
I’ve been doing my record label for 15 years called Dim Mak. I started my label when I was 19 in ’96. I started putting out an eclectic roster of artists. In 2003, we found a band called Bloc Party, and in 2004, we started getting remixes for Bloc Party, and at the same time I was throwing Dim Mak parties in Los Angeles.
281
Music became a healer for me. And I learned to listen with all my being. I found that it could wipe away all the emotions of fear and confusion relating to my family.
282
Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
283
When I was in Greenough, Montana, I came across a bear cub. I was off this path, and I thought, If there’s a bear cub, that means there’s a mother bear somewhere nearby. So I doubled back. If I’d kept going, I’m sure they would have eventually found my sneakers, and that’s about it.
284
The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried.
285
One of the biggest things that hurt me during ‘Survivor‘ was I found out girls can run faster than I can. That really burned me up.
286
I had accepted a position as a business analyst at Deloitte Consulting in New York. But before I went into that workforce, I decided to take a year off and went to India to do a social enterprise fellowship. It wasn’t the best fit, but that was where a TV show in Korea found me and invited me to first come perform.
287
As a physicist, I’ve always found cosmology to be a rational elixir; it distances me from ordinary concerns.
288
I have found people on both sides of the aisle, white and black, that’ll give you the shirt off their back. And I’ve also found people that won’t give you a piece of bread if you’re starving to death.
289
Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.
290
My parents suffered from that ideal of a perfect nuclear family. They found that a difficult pressure, I think.
291
I have lots of friends, but I’m probably a terrible friend to all of them, even my family. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found myself with no friends later on in life. My friends become my enemies.
292
I found marriage somewhat stifling. I don’t know that I am the kind of man who ought to be married.
Burt Lancaster
293
Hate is only a form love that hasn’t found a way to express itself logically.
294
You will find as you grow older that courage is the rarest of all qualities to be found in public life.
295
I stay away from dairy and I drink almond milk now. And I’ve also found that eating breakfast, like waking up and actually having it, helps me stay way healthy.
296
In 1980 I sent a play, ‘Jitney,’ to the Playwrights’ Center in Minneapolis, won a Jerome Fellowship, and found myself sitting in a room with sixteen playwrights. I remember looking around and thinking that since I was sitting there, I must be a playwright, too.
297
I’ve found I get big things done when I’m on airplanes or in hotel rooms. It’s a total needle-mover to book a fantastic room in a place you adore and then put the ‘do not disturb‘ on the phone and door for a week.
298
I have found that among its other benefits, giving liberates the soul of the giver.
299
It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found – not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater.
300
I went to Ithaca, found the Grateful Dead and my life was changed.
301
In the hip-hop world, Eazy-E was the personification of evil. He paid my hospital bill, about $60,000, but he made me pay him back, which is cool, except that I later found out that he paid the bill out of my share of a publishing deal he made for me.
302
The opportunity for doing mischief is found a hundred times a day, and of doing good once in a year.
303
It was a reaction to when I was growing up, and women were supposed to be all blonde hair, gold suntan, and pink lips. It was a real black-and-white opposite of what was considered attractive. I was kicking against something I found really oppressive.
304
Human freedom is not an illusion; it is an objective phenomenon, distinct from all other biological conditions and found in only one species – us.
305
I found a great many pieces of punctuation and typography lying around dormant when I came along – and I must say I had a good time using them.
306
Learning lines is on my mind until I do know them. I’ll read the paper or paint the house to keep from starting to memorize. I’ve never found an easy way.
307
Modesty, tis a virtue not often found among poets, for almost every one of them thinks himself the greatest in the world.
308
I’m not as good a singer as I am an actor. So that’s why I – the stories I like so much is because I’ve been a story teller for a long time. I started as a singer and found out I didn’t have a very good voice. That’s the reason I went into acting.
Andy Griffith
309
There is nothing in a name. My husband, Santhosh Menon, called me Navya at first, which I did not like as it was my screen name. He knew me as Navya and found calling me Dhanya strange, so he came up with a pet name.
310
I’ve found beauty in such unexpected places. I think the most beautiful thing you can do is be yourself and to own it.
311
My mom knew we were going to call me Kiki by birth. I think she had the nickname before she had my name, and she then found the name that would allow that.
312
If people think they’ve found my biggest weakness, let them try to take advantage of it.
313
In this administration, a place can be found for every bad man.
John Philpot Curran
314
Feelings of worth can flourish only in an atmosphere where individual differences are appreciated, mistakes are tolerated, communication is open, and rules are flexible – the kind of atmosphere that is found in a nurturing family.
Virginia Satir
315
By the time we hit fifty, we have learned our hardest lessons. We have found out that only a few things are really important. We have learned to take life seriously, but never ourselves.
Marie Dressler
316
This proving of such and such I found to be almost like cheating. You start somewhere, and then you go into a dark tunnel, and then you come out at another place. You find that you have proved what you wanted to prove, but in the tunnel, you don’t see anything.
317
The most remarkable thing about my mother is that for thirty years she served the family nothing but leftovers. The original meal has never been found.
318
I played rugby for years, and I had a rugby jacket that I lost when I was 14. Somehow, my brother found it in storage 15 years later, and he gave it back to me for my 30th birthday. That was amazing and probably one of the best gifts I’ve ever received.
319
If the Romans had been obliged to learn Latin, they would never have found time to conquer the world.
320
If you’re an artist, you want to draw from real life; you want to draw from experiences, emotion, and it’s something that a lot of musicians juggle with. I’ve always found it so fascinating.
321
We named the book ‘Extreme Ownership’ because we really found that when we looked at not only at leaders but at teams that were the most successful, we found that the ones that had this attitude of extreme ownership were the ones that did the best, and it’s definitely an attitude that I had.
322
On the iPhone I tended to draw with my thumb. Whereas the moment I got to the iPad, I found myself using every finger.
323
There was a lot of Southern Baptist preachers and some yelling ones but mostly we had a pastor who didn’t scream and I found a lot of comfort and joy and peace as a child hearing the Bible.
Victoria Jackson
324
The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he would never be found out.
325
When I die India will be found engraved on my heart.
Mary of Teck
326
Music is an extraordinary vehicle for expressing emotion – very powerful emotions. That’s what draws millions of people towards it. And, um, I found myself always going for these darker places and – people identify with that.
327
We found vines of a large size, and in some cases quite loaded with grapes; we also found an abundance of roses, which appeared to be like those of Castile.
Junipero Serra
328
I found the purpose of my existence, and also the purpose of my circumstance. There’s a purpose for why you’re in the fire. If God can use a man without arms and legs to be His hands and feet, then He will certainly use any willing heart!
329
Find a way and make it happen: I’ve always been the type of person who couldn’t rest until I found a way to make something happen. If I couldn’t go around the rock, I’d find a way to go over it or under it or through it.
330
When it came to ‘Concussion,’ I found myself with so many threads to weave. So integral to the whistle-blower’s tale were spirituality, the cost of hero-worshipping, what it means to be an American, and just how dangerous the truth can be.
331
I’ve always found the rain very calming.
332
Authors by the hundreds can tell you stories by the thousands of those rejection slips before they found a publisher who was willing to ‘gamble‘ on an unknown.
333
When I read about the way in which library funds are being cut and cut, I can only think that American society has found one more way to destroy itself.
334
There was a door to which I found no key: There was the veil through which I might not see.
Omar Khayyam
335
The truth is found when men are free to pursue it.
336
We had an apartment on west side of Central Park. The rent was very reasonable. We found out later that it belonged to a gangster called Legs Diamond and it was a front to his headquarters. It was fine.
James Stewart
337
Stood off and on during the night, determining not to come to anchor till morning, fearing to meet with shoals; continued our course in the morning; and as the island was found to be six or seven leagues distant, and the tide was against us, it was noon when we arrived there.
338
Since when was genius found respectable?
Elizabeth Barrett Browning
339
I am shy by nature, a person who’s always found something burdensome about human interaction and who probably always will, at least to some degree.
340
TV is so different from the movies. It takes a lot of stamina because you work such long hours. It is really challenging. You are learning the next day’s lines while you are shooting today‘s scenes. I found courage I never realised I had. I hope to do more.
341
There cannot be found in the animal kingdom a bat, or any other creature, so blind in its own range of circumstance and connection, as the greater majority of human beings are in the bosoms of their families.
Helen Hunt Jackson
342
I’ve wanted to be a writer since I was a boy, though it seemed an unlikely outcome since I showed no real talent. But I persevered and eventually found my own row to hoe. Ignorance of other writers’ work keeps me from discouragement and I am less well-read than the average bus driver.
343
Here I found those who had set out before me, both by sea and land, except those who have died.
Junipero Serra
344
Overall, we think religion is a good thing. I mean, if we were godless society, we would have many other problems; the communists found that out.
345
There is not to be found, in all history, any miracle attested by a sufficient number of men, of such unquestioned good sense, education and learning, as to secure us against all delusion in themselves.
346
The fishermen know that the sea is dangerous and the storm terrible, but they have never found these dangers sufficient reason for remaining ashore.
347
I have always found that if I move with seventy-five percent or more of the facts that I usually never regret it. It’s the guys who wait to have everything perfect that drive you crazy.
348
Genius is more often found in a cracked pot than in a whole one.
349
Corruption is found everywhere. I admit there is some corruption in my staff – not me.
350
I have found that hollow, which even I had relied on for solid.
351
When a nation goes down, or a society perishes, one condition may always be found; they forgot where they came from. They lost sight of what had brought them along.
352
I have no problems with my eyes. It was because when I became big, I suddenly I found myself playing on stage with 200,000 people, and that is scary. I remember my manager told me just put on a pair of sunglasses, and that should mitigate the panic. So I tried it, and it worked.
353
Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.
354
Man comes not from an egg but from an animalcule that is found in male sperm.
355
I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can’t capture, and I found it fascinating.
356
I think it’s imperative to follow your heart and choose a profession you’re passionate about, and if you haven’t found that ‘spark‘ yet, if you’re not sure what you want to do with your lives – be persistent until you do.
Steve Kerr
357
But if I’ve heard this saying once, I’ve heard it a thousand times- everything happens for a reason. And possibly it does. I just haven’t found the reason that this all happened yet.
Jerry Lawler
358
I’ve always found the script to be more of a skeleton, the template.
359
All the fossils that we have ever found have always been found in the appropriate place in the time sequence. There are no fossils in the wrong place.
360
If there is one place on the face of earth where all the dreams of living men have found a home from the very earliest days when man began the dream of existence, it is India.
Romain Rolland
361
I found myself in a race with Mother Nature to play as much baseball as I could before she forced me to stop.
362
I hold with Henry George, that at the back of every great social evil will be found a great political wrong.
363
I have often found that no matter where I meet people in the world, there is a path that leads back to Queen’s.
364
Even more than getting married or having kids, I found losing a parent is what thrusts you into adulthood. For me it was. That was when the Earth tilted on its axis, and there was a paradigm shift, and I felt like a different person.
365
We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls.
366
Making peace, I have found, is much harder than making war.
367
In the course of my life, I have often had to eat my words, and I must confess that I have always found it a wholesome diet.
368
Well, in brief, I was discovered by a lady called Beth Boldt. She had also been a model. She used to take pictures of the girls she found, and she took a picture of me one day in my school uniform, and it all kind of started from there.
369
If I wouldn’t have found Courtney, I probably would have carried on with a bisexual lifestyle.
370
God found me when I was at my lowest point. That was the first time in my life when I really felt like I understood who Jesus was – it was more than just knowing about Him: I felt like He met me in that time and place.
371
Count Dracula had directed me to go to the Golden Krone Hotel, which I found, to my great delight, to be thoroughly old-fashioned, for of course I wanted to see all I could of the ways of the country.
Bram Stoker
372
Personally, I’ve found one of the more stimulating ways of playing in recent times has been to kind of move outside the free improvised area and work with people who are probably improvisers but they have a particular way of working.
Derek Bailey
373
The doctors x-rayed my head and found nothing.
Dizzy Dean
374
In less than a hundred years, we have found a new way to think of ourselves. From sitting at the center of the universe, we now find ourselves orbiting an average-sized sun, which is just one of millions of stars in our own Milky Way galaxy.
375
All I dream of is to be able to leave Egypt. If I found out I was banned from traveling, I won’t let them imprison me.
Sarah Hegazi
376
Team spirit spurs me on. I’ve always found it easier to be strong for other people than for myself.
Cheryl Cole
377
The judge is found guilty when a criminal is acquitted.
378
Roja,’ ‘Bombay‘ and ‘Dil Se’ weren’t planned as political films. It was a phase India was going through and these things affected me and found their way into my work.
379
Why, we have invented the whole machinery of the supernatural, with its unseen spirits and powers, good and bad, to account for things, because we found the universal everyday nature too cheap, too common, too vulgar.
380
I found my interest lapse in both acting and racing.
Lillie Langtry
381
I found my Saatva mattress when I was searching for a biodegradable and organic mattress that wouldn’t leach chemicals because, believe it or not, I don’t like that!
382
Of life’s two chief prizes, beauty and truth, I found the first in a loving heart and the second in a laborer‘s hand.
383
I really feel I have found myself as a chef. It’s very clear to me what I want to do – and how it should taste.
384
The Iowa Women’s Health Study, which has followed more than 35,000 women for decades, found eating more broccoli, cauliflower, kale and other cruciferous vegetables was associated with a lower risk of getting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the first place.
385
Finding the real joy of Christmas comes not in the hurrying and the scurrying to get more done, nor is it found in the purchasing of gifts. We find real joy when we make the Savior the focus of the season.
386
I found that being top put all the pressure on second place, not first. The focus is on the second-place team, who can’t afford to slip up again.
387
I found reading musical notation frightfully boring.
388
I watched World’s Strongest Man growing up on TV and I just loved all of that, so I decided to enter a Strongman contest – just for fun. Really. For no other reason than that I just wanted to compete in something and push myself. I ended up loving it from the get-go and also found that I was very gifted.
389
The cast clubs were a big part of it, too. I found I wasn’t getting that instant feedback I was used to with a forged blade. The sweet spot is a shade bigger, and when I didn’t hit the ball dead center, I didn’t know it, because it still felt great.
390
In the last ten years of watching films I have found that some of the foreign films I saw affected me most. One American film that stands out for me for its workmanship and artistry is ‘Ratatouille.’ It was an astonishing effort in filmmaking.
Irvin Kershner
391
No man can be ideally successful until he has found his place. Like a locomotive he is strong on the track, but weak anywhere else.
392
Time is found in the calibration of the individual to the timing of a collective endeavour, the social grace that less clock-bound societies must practise.
393
True love cannot be found where it does not exist, nor can it be denied where it does.
Torquato Tasso
394
My whole life, every time I’ve been down, I’ve found a way to turn it around.
395
An uncle of mine emigrated to Canada and couldn’t take his guitar with him. When I found it in the attic, I’d found a friend for life.
396
Every newspaper feels it must have an astrology column, and even in the Carleton University bookstore this morning, I found books on astrology for sale.
Gerhard Herzberg
397
Whether you’ve seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.
398
Impossible is a word to be found only in the dictionary of fools.
399
Since His delights are to be with you, let yours be found in Him.
Alphonsus Liguori
400
I believe that there are many herbs and many trees that are worth much in Europe for dyes and for medicines; but I do not know, and this causes me great sorrow. Arriving at this cape, I found the smell of the trees and flowers so delicious that it seemed the pleasantest thing in the world.
401
My late mother moved back to her parents’ homeland in the 1990s when Ukraine and Russia, along with the thirteen other former Soviet republics, became independent states. Drawing on her experience as a lawyer in Canada, she served as executive officer of the Ukrainian Legal Foundation, an NGO she helped to found.
402
I’ve been very lucky, from the beginning. I’ve found that as long as you’re fundamentally good – as long as you’re not being bad to people – people give you a lot of room to be yourself, because being yourself is being honest. And that’s what people want to see.
403
Whatever your religion, you have to find internal happiness, which I found.
404
People are usually more convinced by reasons they discovered themselves than by those found by others.
405
I actually found contracting malaria in the Congo fascinating. Observing your body under attack from this microorganism and seeing how it responds is simultaneously fascinating and awful but maybe that’s just because I’m a former biology teacher.
406
There is no harm in being sometimes wrong – especially if one is promptly found out.
407
As I grew steadily more comfortable in the kitchen, I found that, much like gardening, most cooking manages to be agreeably absorbing without being too demanding intellectually. It leaves plenty of mental space for daydreaming and reflection.
408
History is representational, while time is abstract; both of these artifices may be found in museums, where they span everybody’s own vacancy.
409
One thing I know: the only ones among you who will be really happy are those who will have sought and found how to serve.
410
Every philosophical problem, when it is subjected to the necessary analysis and justification, is found either to be not really philosophical at all, or else to be, in the sense in which we are using the word, logical.
411
But it is impossible to divide a cube into two cubes, or a fourth power into fourth powers, or generally any power beyond the square into like powers; of this I have found a remarkable demonstration. This margin is too narrow to contain it.
Pierre de Fermat
412
I had thought that Tokyo would be like New York City, but it wasn’t. I’d imagined that they’d be similar in their bustle and noise level, but, in fact, Tokyo is a very calm metropolis. The bright lights and hectic night-life images so often found in advertisements and Western media do not reflect every day Japan.
413
It is a profound and necessary truth that the deep things in science are not found because they are useful: they are found because it was possible to find them.
414
To me I’ve just really, really found a relaxed, peaceful side of my life and I’m enjoying it.
415
I was once in a very, very bad car accident. So my drawing arm is full of pins and platinum stuff. Occasionally it hurts. But I found that after the arm was put back together I could draw better than before. I have no idea why.
Bernard Tschumi
416
I found popularity through self-destruction, and that can be quite addictive.
417
I had worked with many actors who were angry at times and often found them to be tense.
418
The virtues, like the Muses, are always seen in groups. A good principle was never found solitary in any breast.
419
It will be found an unjust and unwise jealousy to deprive a man of his natural liberty upon the supposition he may abuse it.
420
An intellectual is a person who’s found one thing that’s more interesting than sex.
421
What I have found is that the best way to unwind is cooking. You only have two hands. If you are chopping veggies, you are forcing yourself to put the phone down or step away from the computer. It’s extremely relaxing.
422
We owe it to each other – and to our children and grandchildren – to leave our planet in a better state than when we found it.
423
I know some Australian players who were at Dortmund when he was there and found out about him. Wagner is a leader and makes all the decisions, but of course the players have to perform and deliver what he wants.
424
He who seeks does not find, but he who does not seek will be found.
425
I’m such an avid magazine reader – music, art, beauty magazines – and I found that food and restaurants were pouring into everything I cared about. Whether it was the pop-up concept, or some mysterious mini-mall restaurant, I got swept up in the sexy romance of the food movement.
426
Until 1985, when my lab found the protein they are made of, aquaporins hadn’t yet been identified. There had been a controversy in biology for more than 100 years about how water moved through cells.
427
I wanted to make sure that the man who found the genie would not take terrible advantage of her, so he needed to be a person of integrity and honor – which is why I made the male lead an astronaut. The rest, as they say, is history.
428
In the beginning of the year 1665, I found the method of approximating series and the rule for reducing any dignity of any binomial into such a series.
429
There is a rumour going around that I have found God. I think this is unlikely because I have enough difficulty finding my keys, and there is empirical evidence that they exist.
430
I found that with depression, one of the most important things you could realise is that you’re not alone.
431
I was proud to witness American Jewish organizations found the Save Darfur Coalition in June 2004 to mobilize a coordinated interfaith response to the ongoing humanitarian disaster.
432
I am a great believer in the OHIO principle: Only handle it once. When you read an e-mail, decide whether or not to reply to it, and, if you need to reply, do so right then and there. I have found that about 80 percent of all e-mails, whether internal or external, do not require a response.
433
I had to learn, really, how to rein in my energies and discipline myself. And I found it very very useful. I rebelled against it at first, but it’s a good thing to have.
434
I haven’t really found the right person. That sounds like an older person thing to say, but I’m too busy and – not in a bad way – don’t want to waste my time.
435
I’ve found cinnamon to be very effective for lowering the glycemic response to meals. People have heard that before, but I didn’t realize how profound it could be until I did the actual testing with continuous glucose monitors. And I tested all different varieties and species of cinnamon from Ceylon to Saigon.
436
Somebody can say they don’t understand why somebody drifts. But I’ve always found people who drift interesting, ’cause it shows me the game‘s not stagnant in their own head. They’re thinking.
437
Growing up in the icy isolation of Hibbing, Minn., Dylan, who was still Robert Allen Zimmerman then, found comfort in the country, blues, and early rock ‘n’ roll that he heard at night on a Louisiana radio station whose signal came in strong and clear.
438
Humility was an important part of the way I grew up. And I found that to be less common when I moved to California. That’s not to say humble people don’t exist there, but ambition seems really important.
439
Shooting for ‘Gandhi‘ was a revelation for me. We were all given scripts and then we were asked to do our homework. I searched for books on Kasturba, but I found only two books, that’s all. So I had to rely on my own skills.
440
As the evening progressed, Scott said that he was looking forward to settling down, but that he hadn’t yet found the right person. The way he looked at me when he said that made me feel he might be wondering whether I was that person.
Amber Frey
441
Much of the best humor is found in the frequently tragic reality of human experience.
442
I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people.
443
A friend is long sought, hardly found, and with difficulty kept.
St. Jerome
444
The only security for the American people today, or for any people, is to be found through the control of force rather than the use of force.
445
The most important thing about global warming is this. Whether humans are responsible for the bulk of climate change is going to be left to the scientists, but it’s all of our responsibility to leave this planet in better shape for the future generations than we found it.
446
Edward Scissorhands’ was tough to let go of because I found real safety in allowing myself to be that open, that honest. To explore purity. It was a hard one to walk away from.
447
For my part, I consider that it will be found much better by all parties to leave the past to history, especially as I propose to write that history myself.
448
I don’t think there’s one thing I’ve ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene.
449
Technology is how we create wealth, how we cure diseases, how we’ll build an environment that’s sustainable and also gives people the capacity to pull more out of this world and still leave it better than when they found it.
450
Playing basketball is second nature to me; acting I found far more challenging.
451
There was a time when I was knocking on doors and concerned with being recognized in dominant culture. I’ve found a space where the terrain is different, where I’m embraced by people like me, and where I’m building new ways of doing things, as opposed to trying to insert myself in a place that might not be welcoming.
452
I have never in my life found myself in a situation where I’ve stopped work and said, ‘Thank God it’s Friday.’ But weekends are special even if your schedule is all over the place. Something tells you the weekend has arrived and you can indulge yourself a bit.
453
When I’m not surfing or sailing, I am to be found at the harbour working on my boat.
Laura Dekker
454
In the Middle East, it is clear that peace will never be reached without solving the IsraeliPalestinian conflict. A two-state solution must be found and enforced.
455
I feel like ‘Leftovers’ is dealing with subject matter that’s kind of taboo when you’re talking about religion and faith. They found a way to make it mysterious and intriguing without making people upset.
456
My aunt got me interested in journalism – she found an old typewriter, had it worked over, put it on the dining room table, gave me a stack of paper and said, ‘Play like you’re a writer.’
457
I’ve found a woman I can relate to. That’s something – and I don’t even feel sappy saying it – that, if anyone has that, don’t lose it, because it’s probably the only thing that you can ever really find any satisfaction from.
458
I found that the things I am afraid of most are things for which there are no obvious remedies. Like, what do you do with a fear of death? You either come to terms with it or you don’t, but there’s no solving it.
459
I’d come back after having served as ambassador to New Zealand and found that I had real concerns about the direction in which this country was headed.
460
My father was a disciplinarian. He had this cane and he would spare no one if found at fault. Unlike Babita, I was not physically strong and couldn’t cope with the training. So I got the most beatings.
461
Just because an individual in his 30s hasn’t found true love and, yes, there are opportunities to date but it also forces you to be more particular. In so many ways, you become more adamant about finding that right person and not allowing yourself to open up to just anybody.
Jeff Garcia
462
At Bristol I found it quite difficult to continue trying to balance three things – teaching, research and public engagement, for which television was obviously the most prominent part.
463
A placebo-controlled, double-blind, randomised trial of boys with autism found that two to three servings of cruciferous vegetables a day improves social interaction, abnormal behaviour and verbal communication – within a matter of weeks.
464
Humour can always be found in a place where there’s fearlessness.
465
The inflated imitations of gold and silver, which after the rapture are thrown into the fire, all is exhausted and dissipated by the debt. All scrips and bonds are wiped out. At the fourth pillar dedicated to Saturn, split by earthquake and flood: vexing everyone, an urn of gold is found and then restored.
