1
My favorite thing is a brand-new project from scratch because you really never know how they’re going to come to life. Going back for the third and fourth time to old ones is very gratifying, but it’s not my favorite use of my creativity.
2
Acting is all about relating to the people on stage with you, even in plays that break the fourth wall. Clowning, for the most part, is the opposite. If somebody in the audience sneezes, I can count on it: I don’t even have to look at Shiner; he’ll have his handkerchief out. It’s all about all of us in the room together.
3
There’s no environment. Use your imagination. There’s no fourth wall, whether it’s the first time you’ve told this story about her life, or the sixth time.

I have been blessed with a bunch of great kids, grandchildren, and daughters-in-law. It’s been a great life. I know I am probably in the fourth quarter, but I am hoping for triple overtime.

9
My hope is, and I know there are a couple of big manufacturers, and there always are – this is not breaking news – there’s always somebody who has an interest in at least understanding the NASCAR opportunity, and so my sense of it is over time that we will have a fourth manufacturer.
10
I was a Russian dancer in my elementary school production of ‘Fiddler on the Roof’ when I was in third grade or fourth grade. I was one of the younger kids accepted into the play, and the plays were pretty impressive, let me say.

London was the hardest Olympic Games, and before it, I was really just hoping to win a medal, even if it was not the gold medal. At the same time, I have my next target. I am not settling for three golds in a row. I now want to try for a fourth.
19
20
I want to collect more records from terrorists, but less records from innocent Americans. The Fourth Amendment was what we fought the Revolution over! John Adams said it was the spark that led to our war for independence, and I’m proud of standing for the Bill of Rights, and I will continue to stand for the Bill of Rights.
21
22
Everyone wants to play in the fourth quarter, everyone wants to close the game. It’s the most important time of the game, so being out there is great.

24
25

32
When you ask your white friends what their cultural heritage is, they don’t just say white. They give you a math equation. ‘Well, I’m a third German and a fourth Irish and one-sixteenth Welsh and one-fortieth Native American for college applications.’
33
34
When it comes to economy, my district is the fourth largest concentration of manufacturing jobs of any district in the entire country.
35
36
I’m the third or fourth generation of actor in my family; I’m sure if they were butchers, I’d be a butcher, too.
37
Every smart person that I admire in the world, and those I semi-fear, is focused on this concept of crypto for a reason. They understand that this is the driving force of the fourth industrial revolution: steam engine, electricity, then the microchip – blockchain and crypto is the fourth.

41
In domestic cricket – whether it is Ranji Trophy or other first class matches – in the first year, not many opponents will know about your game, but by the time you are into the third or fourth year, the opponents would have found out your strengths and weaknesses, and they will work on it.
42
The Obama administration, like those before it, promotes a disturbingly narrow interpretation of the Fourth Amendment, misapplying the facts of old analog cases to a radically different digital world.
43
If I was on a third or fourth line I would probably be in the NHL, because you don’t have to produce every night.
44
At the fourth grade level, girls at the same percentages of boys say they’re interested in careers in engineering or math or astrophysics, but by eighth grade that has dropped precipitously.
45
46
47
The refs are trying to do the right thing. They’re trying to make the right calls, but if you put a lot of pressure on them as far as being in their face, it’s embarrassing. They don’t want to get yelled at a fourth, fifth time.
48
49
I don’t have any rift with President Obama at all. I think that he is operating in an entirely different arena than I’m dealing in. I represent my constituents in the Fourth Congressional District. I’m looking out admittedly for much more narrow interests. I represent the fourth-poorest district.
50
I started to play in the fourth grade and didn’t score for, like, a whole year.
51
It would not be permissible for you to build a home and not let law enforcement in if they had a search warrant. If they think there’s a crime ongoing, they go to court and get a warrant, and they’re permitted to come in your home under the Fourth Amendment.
52
53
I like Beryl Bainbridge a great deal, and she is a writer who absolutely demands to be read a second, third, and fourth time. I admire her great courage in leaving so much unsaid and asking the reader to really engage her brain.

Consider this: The United States held its first presidential election in 1789. It marked the first peaceful transfer of executive power between parties in the fourth presidential election in 1801, and it took another 200 years’ worth of presidential elections before the courts had to settle an election.
60
61
I was an active participant in India’s key economic reforms, including the third industrial revolution and now the fourth industrial revolution.
62
I love seeing New York City Ballet from the fourth ring, just seeing the architecture of how these bodies move from above.
63
I’ve always liked being funny and making people laugh. I was a cut-up when I was a kid and was always doing bits for my friends and family. I remember doing pratfalls on the playground in fourth grade for my friend and really hurting my hip.
64
65
66
It’s not an understatement to say that I owe everything as an actor to ‘Merlin.’ It was pretty much my first job, and I didn’t know what I was doing for many years on it. It wasn’t until the third and fourth series – the fourth series especially – that I really found my feet with the character, and as an actress.
67
If one undertakes retrospection of the day’s events, one must do it regularly at the appointed hour, not fitfully, not doing it today, neglecting to do it tomorrow and the day after and then taking it up again on the fourth day. Such irregular practice is not conducive to the confirmation of the habit of retrospection.
68
Musicals are, by nature, theatrical, meaning poetic, meaning having to move the audience’s imagination and create a suspension of disbelief, by which I mean there’s no fourth wall.
69
This is my fourth term and my seventh year. My first year was in 1997, the same year for Vic Snyder. It is still exciting to be there even though Washington is not run by Democrats right now, but we are working very hard.
70
71
Life is full of challenges, but I always have the Three Ps: Passion, patience and persistence. And the fourth one is pizza.
72
73

74
The expectations are high, so we know: If we do not meet them, there is criticism. We have high expectations ourselves. We are not happy with fourth, third, or second, either.
75
76
It is not only the people of Gaza that can’t afford having a fourth war – all the world cannot afford this.
77
I remember the first time somebody classified me as a feminist. I was in fourth grade. And I remember thinking, ‘Oh, is that what I am?’ At the time, I just cared about equality.
78

81
Character consists of what you do on the third and fourth tries.
82

85
86
I didn’t meet my father until I was in the fourth grade.
87
88
From the perspective of what happened with Celtic people might argue that I didn’t have the experience for another big job but I don’t think my experience with Celtic explains why I couldn’t get a job in the fourth division.
89
I think a series risks straying into self-parody if you get into a fourth series… sometimes even if you get into a third, because the audience knows how it’s going to go.
90
91
I enjoy writing for third and fourth graders most of all.
92
I have struggles in screenwriting that lead me to a third act that’s always more or less efficiently wrapped up in a fourth act that’s trying to give closure to too many things.
93
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.
94
95
96
I love my work. I’ve had three successful series, and I want to find out if I can make a fourth.
97
98
I like coming back home. Do it every July Fourth. Everybody’s cooking, and I’m just being Ben, just Ben, like the little kid I was running around the neighborhood.
99
100
101
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.
102
I have been immeasurably honored to serve the people of Maine for nearly 40 years in public office and for the past 17 years in the United States Senate. It was incredibly difficult to decide that I would not seek a fourth term in the Senate.
103
104
105
I’m actually about as famous as a fourth division footballer from the 70s.
106
107
Fourth, to assure every entrepreneur and every job creator that their investments in America will not vanish as have those in Greece, we will cut the deficit and put America on track to a balanced budget.
108
109
110
A violin is tuned to a fifth. But a guitar is tuned to a fourth with a one-third middle. It is very perplexing to composers.
111
112
113
I must say, the standard of football we play in League Two is better than I thought. I think, if you compared it with the fourth division in other countries, such as Italy, Germany and Spain, League Two is much, much better – and that’s very positive. The intensity and the tempo is as high as the Premier League.
114
115
116
117
118
119
The American record company Geffen got so fed up with me that they said they weren’t going to release my fourth record unless I gave it some title. So it was called ‘Security’ in America, and it had no title everywhere else in the world.
120
121
I pretty much knew that I was going to come in fourth, but then I said, ‘I’m fourth at the Olympic Games. What are you talking about? Why is that disappointing?’
122
The Fourth of July concert is invigorating in so many ways, in terms of what it feels like to be an American.
123
124
125
The fourth amendment specifically was designed to prohibit general warrants. How could collecting every piece of phone data be perceived as anything but a general warrant?
126
If people don’t know what a punter is in football, they’re not going to know what a fourth down kicker is, either.
127
128
129
I’m a Christian first. I’m a family guy second. As much as I like coaching, as much as I like basketball, it’s third, fourth, or fifth down the line.
130
When I started writing, the deal was that publishers gave you a grand or two as an advance to buy some sweets, with the promise that they would make a big putsch with your fourth book when you’d built up a bit of a following. But by the time my fourth book came out, previously unpublished authors were the new big thing.
131
132
I played with Eddy Curry twice and in New York, the second time, he asked, ‘Who are you?’ My first to fourth year I was a different person. I started thinking big picture, that maybe I don’t have all the answers.
133
134
I completed the first three years of primary school in one year and was admitted to the local school the age of six directly into the fourth year, some two years younger than all my contemporaries.
135
I am not there to finish fourth at the end of the day. I am there to win as a racer, but on the radio, it sounds I am arrogant and not listening to the team, but it is not like that.
136
137
The Fourth Industrial Revolution has the potential to empower individuals and communities, as it creates new opportunities for economic, social, and personal development. But it also could lead to the marginalization of some groups, exacerbate inequality, create new security risks, and undermine human relationships.
138
139
140
We accelerated our capital spending in the fourth quarter, particularly in international and next-generation network deployment, which should not only sustain future revenue growth but also drive significant cost reductions across all communications services.
141
The Fourth Industrial Revolution can compromise humanity‘s traditional sources of meaning – work, community, family, and identity – or it can lift humanity into a new collective and moral consciousness based on a sense of shared destiny. The choice is ours.
142
143
Don’t overpack your carry-on. You’re never going to read that second book or that fourth magazine.
144
Asking questions is an essential part of police investigation. In the ordinary sense a police officer is free to ask a person for identification without implicating the Fourth Amendment.
145
I don’t miss anything about the 1960s, not really. I did it. It’s like asking, ‘Do you miss the fourth grade?’ I loved the fourth grade when I was in it, but I don’t want to do it again.
146
147
With the release of her fourth album, ‘Red,’ in 2012 and a handful of highly publicized romances, Taylor was criticized by the press and other entertainers for such sinful acts as dating people and writing songs about it, gaining a reputation as boy-crazy and love-ridden.
148
When I became a choreographer, I was not assisting any choreographer. I was assisting the director Mansoor Ali Khan for ‘Jo Jeeta Wohi Sikandar.’ I was the fourth assistant director.
149
150
I think they built Hollywood on the West Coast because they were always dreaming of a New World. When they arrived here, the only way to keep dreaming was to make movies. Film was the fourth dimension.
151
All of a sudden, it wasn’t quite good enough to make the fourth round of a Grand Slam, when my whole life before that it was an incredible achievement and something that I had only done a couple of times.
152
I had been told I might be drafted in the fourth round. ‘Great,’ I said at the time.
153
Every Fourth of July, our Declaration of Independence is produced, with a sublime indignation, to set forth the tyranny of the mother country and to challenge the admiration of the world. But what a pitiful detail of grievances does this document present in comparison with the wrongs which our slaves endure!
154
155
156
157
Historically, we have seen cis men play trans women and vice versa. That casting breaks through the fourth wall, and it gives people the message that trans people are being played by cis men in real life, which is where we get this idea of men in dresses.
158
159
160
The first book I ever wrote was in fourth grade and it was called ‘Billy‘s Booger.’ It was an autobiographical piece about a kid who was really bad at math.
161
The Fourth Amendment protects the privacy of us all – from ordinary citizens up to candidates for president. If we allow this precious right to be ignored when dealing with a presidential campaign, it can be ignored when dealing with the rest of us.
162
163
The entire political class and ruling Wall Street class are zero-percent-interest zombies who talk about ‘deflation’ in the value of their second, third, and fourth homes. This is paper-deflation, zombie-deflation, and has nothing to do with the real economy.
164
When I was in fourth grade, I had a lot of upheaval in my life. Both of my parents remarried, and we all got new houses. That was also the year my older brother got very sick.
165
This game is about engagement and respect, whether you’re playing in the Champions League or in the fourth division.
166
167
I love breaking the fourth wall, and being given permission to play with the audience!
168
Sometimes, we nerds of technology sort of don’t think that the rules necessarily apply to us in the same way, but I think when you produce products that hundreds of millions of people, if not billions of people, are using, we have the same responsibilities as any other person representing the Fourth Estate.
169
Glendale is such a mecca of our fans. They are the most important things. It’s the fans and then music, then we come third or fourth.
170
When I went to prison, for three years I didn’t say a word to another human being until, going into the fourth year, when I realized, ‘You know what, I have to find a way to live.’
171
In 2013, before the publication of my fourth novel, I met with a stylist at Nordstrom. Since then, I’ve rarely shopped for ‘event clothes‘ on my own. I usually do it with my sisters or a friend; if I’m alone, I take pictures of myself in the dressing room and text them to my sisters.
172
173
174
175
176
177
When he ran a private company, one he owned, Trump could command all its constituent parts to do his bidding and make the rules himself. You’d think by his fourth year in the White House, he would have learned that the presidency doesn’t work that way. But obviously he hasn’t.
178
I moved in fourth grade in the middle of the school year, and I was the new kid in school.
179
As a kid, creation was something that I always loved. Creating worlds for video games, creating businesses that didn’t make any money, selling lemonade, etcetera. In my fourth grade classroom, I even instituted a government structure because I was really interested in people having positions and there being law.
180
181
If you would have told me when I was a kid that I would be sitting here with an ACC championship and been drafted in the fourth round of the Major League Baseball draft, I would have taken it in a heartbeat.
182
I hate first drafts, and it never gets easier. People always wonder what kind of superhero power they’d like to have. I wanted the ability for someone to just open up my brain and take out the entire first draft and lay it down in front of me so I can just focus on the second, third and fourth drafts.
183
184
Children typically are not screened for dyslexia, which means it’s not until fourth grade that it’s detected, at which point they have to take a standardized test, and they can’t read. I mean, they literally cannot read.
185
186
187
188
189
190
191
My second, third and fourth novels were mistakes, essentially.
192
Our carefully constructed system of checks and balances is being negated by the rise of a fourth branch, an administrative state of sprawling departments and agencies that govern with increasing autonomy and decreasing transparency.
193
194
195
196
197
We started making movies when we were really young, in the fourth grade… if you can call them movies.
198
199
200
There is but little room for doubt that Egypt led the way in the creation of the earliest known group of civilizations which arose on both sides of the land bridge between Africa and Eurasia in the fourth millennium B.C.
201
Memory is the fourth dimension to any landscape.
202
Sweden is a small country and, well, our family’s pretty prominent in that world, I guess. And I really didn’t like the sound of just being ‘the fourth acting Skarsgard.’
203
Russia contains one fourth of the inhabitants of all Europe, and one half of the entire number of Israelites.
204
205
I’m the fourth generation to be in show business. It’s pretty neat; it’s nice to have that family history.
206
207
I had friends around campus and great teammates. I didn’t want to leave. I didn’t expect to be regarded and scouted as such a high pick, so it was a crazy twist to reality. I’d always wanted to make the NBA. It was my dream. Then all of a sudden, people were telling me I’d be the fourth pick if I entered the draft.
208
When a young non-white male is stopped and searched at the whim of a police officer, his idea of personal space, privacy and self esteem are shattered, to say nothing of his Fourth and Fourteenth Amendment protections. The damage goes deep quickly and stays. Stop & frisk, as well as a tactic, is also an incitement.
209
I was always a very quirky kid. I remember very early like fourth or fifth grade doing pratfalls to make my friends laugh, like falling on the ground on the playground and doing like bits and characters.
210
211
Politics was my third act. But I could have a fourth. I don’t know what that will be yet, but there will be one.
212
Look at the way sports, music and film have become driving forces of popular culture. Fashion is the fourth pillar.
213
People’s mood is really determined primarily by their genetic make-up and personality, and in the second place by their immediate context, and only in the third and fourth place by worries and concerns and other things like that.
214
215
With a fourth generation of nuclear power, you can have a technology that will burn more than 99 percent of the energy in the fuel. It would mean that you don’t need to mine uranium for the next thousand years.
216
A lot of the times, reality shows don’t like people to break the fourth wall. With a docu-series or a documentary, everyone breaks the fourth wall because you’re talking to the camera quite a bit.
217
I still can’t manage to keep a journal, and people have been telling me to since the fourth grade.
218
219
The contention is if you don’t do it in the first quarter, if you don’t box out and control the glass in the first quarter, you are not going to do it in the fourth quarter and overtime.
220
Kiss is a Fourth of July fireworks show with a backbeat.
221
Saturday Night Live is hitting me on a regular basis again. This is my fourth decade that I’ve been lampooned on Saturday Night Live.
222
On first listening, Joni Mitchell‘s ‘Court And Spark,’ the first truly great pop album of 1974, sounds surprisingly light; by the third or fourth listening, it reveals its underlying tensions.
223
Fourth Law of Thermodynamics: If the probability of success is not almost one, then it is damn near zero.
224
225
But size isn’t everything – effort and intensity is, especially in the fourth quarter.
226
If the notion on this is we’re going to elect somebody to the United States Senate so they can be the 100th least senior person in there and be polite, and somewhere in their fourth or fifth year do some bipartisan bill that nobody cares about, don’t vote for me.
227
228
229
230
231
The fourth quarter is where players are made.
232
My first published book, ‘Story of a Girl’, was the fourth book I wrote.
233
Noises and smells, those can bring back powerful memories. I remember when I was going to school one Fourth of July, and there were a lot of fireworks going off. I knew that I was in Richmond. I knew that I was a college student. But I thought people were shooting at me.
234
We prided ourselves at Oregon, where teams said they were going to try to beat us down and try to manhandle us, and maybe in the first quarter they were running with us, but it was just, ‘Let’s see how they are come the fourth quarter when they’re tired, and they’ve had 70 to 80 plays coming at them non-stop.’
235
I believe in second chances, but I don’t believe in third or fourth chances.
236
237
238
Even though Cambridge Analytica has dissolved, the capabilities are still there, the platforms are still there, the people are still there. What happens when China becomes the next Cambridge Analytica? Like anything, the second, third, fourth time you do something, you start to refine and perfect it.
239
I was reading this book called ‘Close Encounters of the Fourth Kind.’ It’s really, really good if you want to believe in that stuff.
240
241
242
243
244
245
246
Gerry Dow – he’s like a fourth member. He lives in Sweden; his art work is more important than… it’s just as important as the music and the stage show.
247
Children without access to quality early education programs start kindergarten with an 18-month disadvantage, and that gap continues to widen. By the time they are in fourth grade, many cannot do math or read at grade level.
248
249
250
251
If you watch most quarterbacks in the league, if you take more than two hitches, there’s a good chance you’ll be sacked. By recognizing things, it allows you to get to your fourth or fifth read on your second hitch and get the ball out of your hand.
252
I’m remembering one book that I wrote, ‘Fourth Grade Rats,’ that took a month to write, but most of them, full-length novels, I would say about a year.
253
254
255
256
257
I feel like a lot of artists, when they’re on their fourth record, they’re perceived as the old guys. At least in this day and age. I like that people perceive us as just getting started because that’s how we perceive ourselves.
258
You learn to respect team chemistry. It’s the fourth quarter, there’s two minutes left, the shot clock is winding down, and we’re like, ‘What do we do?’ We didn’t have that flow. Chemistry comes down to repetition. It’s not, ‘We’ve played some games; we have chemistry now.’
259
260
The smartest thing I’ve done for my kids is writing a song about a holiday. Every year after that, even after I’m gone, they’ll get a small check from the play it gets around the Fourth.
261
No one in their right mind can say to me with a straight face that the Patriot Act has not aggregated the Fourth Amendment.
262
263
264
265
The second single from ‘Purpose,’ Justin Bieber’s fourth studio album, ‘Sorry‘ is an infectious confection – a Dorito for your ears.
266
Whether you breach the Fourth Amendment 20 percent of the time or 100 percent of the time, it’s still not the point. The point is whether or not you still collect millions of people’s information with a single warrant.
267
268
My situation, and my opportunity, was the fourth tier in Swedish football and a place that nobody really wanted to go to. Of course it’s turned out well for me.
269
270
I made the decision that I was going to make rap music in, like, fourth grade, so it’s been something I was saying for a long time.
271
I’ll have the chance to do a production number on A Capitol Fourth.
272
Of course I want to be on the floor in the fourth.
273
274
My earliest memory is my parents forgetting my fourth birthday. My dad looked up from reading the paper and went, ‘Oh my God!’ So we went out, and I chose a red scooter.
275
276
From the Fourth Amendment to post-Watergate reforms to the national outcry when Bush’s warrantless surveillance was revealed in 2005, the United States has a strong tradition of overseeing the government’s power to spy on its citizens.
277
278
The Fourth Amendment is quite clear on the notion that search and seizure must not be unreasonable. It is difficult to think of something more unreasonable than searching the private phone records and digital information of citizens who are suspected of nothing.
279
After I saw Kiss on stage, I wanted my show to look like the fourth of July. The persona of Rick James was wild and crazy, sex, drugs and rock and roll.
280
281
282
283
Because I am a character actor, I thought I would be the fourth or eighth banana on a sitcom, and that would be OK.
284
If I had a great game, and I was hot, usually we were up by 20-30 going into the fourth quarter. That means I don’t get to play in the fourth quarter.
285
I love being in the band and I love being the fourth member of 5SOS, but someone I’ve seen do something separate well is Brandon Flowers from The Killers. I love that he has a place where he can go. As a career I like that a lot; it just seems like a creative place that he can keep going back to.
286
We all know you can’t have a Fourth of July barbecue without the fixings that go with it.
287
288
289
It would have to be connected with performance art somehow, either in the front of the house or the back. I was myopic about this from fourth grade on.

I’m really the only artist in my family. I have one cousin who is a painter. I think I developed all of that from television and books – from being, essentially, an only child. I’m my mom’s only child and my dad’s fourth child, but separated by 14 years.

When you throw your fourth touchdown of a game in the NFL… it’s hard to do.
292
With Chelsea, the job was this: move up to the top, get into Europe. And I did that – fourth place in the Premier League and then into the Champions League, the season before Abramovich and all the money arrived.
293
I thought we were aggressive across the board defensively, and you could just see it grow. As the game went along, you could see the confidence grow. It showed in the fourth quarter.

At noon, on the Fourth of July, 1826, while the Liberty Bell was again sounding its old message to the people of Philadelphia, the soul of Thomas Jefferson passed on; and a few hours later John Adams entered into rest, with the name of his old friend upon his lips.

If I get to the end of my life, and people say, ‘He was in ‘Cold Feet,’ well, I was, and it was great. I thought the fourth series wasn’t great. I thought there were weak episodes throughout. Overall, I thought it was a good show, it had an impact, it dealt with a lot of issues, and it was a great part.

Trust me: it’s no fun where we’re on the fourth set, or you’ve got to serve second serve on a break point down.
297
The people who are at home watching want to see the fourth and fifth round.
298
I remember me and my brother would watch ‘Beavis and Butthead’ or ‘South Park,’ but we’d be all secret about it because we didn’t want our dad to know. And then before I know it, I’m in fourth grade and me, my brother, and my dad are watching ‘South Park’ together.

In fourth grade, I missed 82 days of school. Out of 160.

Watching everybody have such a fantastic time, loving life, loving America – I wish that was the feeling year-round, that it didn’t take the Fourth of July for us to be like, ‘Yeah, America is awesome.’

If you quit once, it’s so much easier to quit the second, third, fourth time.
302
The Fourth of July should be celebrated with big hearts.

My parents separated before I was 1 year old. I moved in with my aunt and uncle when I was in fourth grade. I was, like, 8 or 9 years old. I was getting in a lot of trouble when I was in Southern California. My older sisters were in gangs. My older brother was in gangs.

And then as we played more and more as a trio, it became more and more of a situation where we realized we really knew how to use the fourth member of the group – that space. The thing about the trio is that it’s the biggest sound you can have with the smallest unit.
