There is nothing like staying at home for real comfort.

Corruption, embezzlement, fraud, these are all characteristics which exist everywhere. It is regrettably the way human nature functions, whether we like it or not. What successful economies do is keep it to a minimum. No one has ever eliminated any of that stuff.
66
67
Beauty is a gift, just like good health or intelligence. The only thing is not to be proud of being beautiful. Because you didn’t do anything – it was given to you.

113
I hate organized religion. I think you have to love thy neighbor as thyself. I think you have to pick your own God and be true to him. I always say ‘him’ rather than ‘her.’ Maybe it’s because of my generation, but I don’t like the idea of a female God. I see God as a benevolent male.
114
History should not be left to the historians. Rather, be like Churchill. Make history, and then write it.

120
A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.

124
125

138
139
140
The scientific man does not aim at an immediate result. He does not expect that his advanced ideas will be readily taken up. His work is like that of the planter – for the future. His duty is to lay the foundation for those who are to come, and point the way.

142
143
I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person grow to look like his portrait.

208
People want to call me racist for doing the Bon Qui Qui character, and I’m like, ‘Look, Bon Qui Qui is a representation of a hood chick. That’s it.’ There are lots of hood chicks out there: some are black, some are Mexican, some are Salvadorian, and some are white.
209
I like to try new looks and new haircuts. It’s part of who I am.
210
211
212
213
Everything that happens is meant to be. It’s meant to happen like that. But sometimes you don’t know at the time that it’s meant to be disaster.
214
To make an embarrassing admission, I like video games. That’s what got me into software engineering when I was a kid. I wanted to make money so I could buy a better computer to play better video games – nothing like saving the world.
215
There is no instinct like that of the heart.
216
It only takes one person to mobilize a community and inspire change. Even if you don’t feel like you have it in you, it’s in you. You have to believe in yourself. People will see your vision and passion and follow you.
217
I always like to look on the optimistic side of life, but I am realistic enough to know that life is a complex matter.
218
219
220
Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, often hot and fierce, but still only light and flickering. As love grows older, our hearts mature and our love becomes as coals, deep-burning and unquenchable.
221
When you look at a city, it’s like reading the hopes, aspirations and pride of everyone who built it.

Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
227
You may say, ‘Well, dragons don’t exist.’ It’s, like, yes they do – the category ‘predator‘ and the category ‘dragon‘ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.
228
229
I like to challenge myself. I like to learn – so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.
230
Some people like you, some people don’t. In the end you just have to be yourself.

253
254
255

I made decisions that I regret, and I took them as learning experiences… I’m human, not perfect, like anybody else.
263
264
I feel like God gives you what you deserve. Whatever that time is, you get what you deserve.
265
Bad things do happen in the world, like war, natural disasters, disease. But out of those situations always arise stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
266
267
Wine and cheese are ageless companions, like aspirin and aches, or June and moon, or good people and noble ventures.
268

269
270
Love, and do what you like.
271
Practice Golden-Rule 1 of Management in everything you do. Manage others the way you would like to be managed.
272
I like refried beans. That’s why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they’re just as good and we’re just wasting time. You don’t have to fry them again after all.

277
Happiness is like a kiss. You must share it to enjoy it.
278
279
I want to be able to look back and say, ‘I’ve done everything I can, and I was successful.’ I don’t want to look back and say I should have done this or that. I’d like to change things for the younger generation of swimmers coming along.
280
Putting on a new pair of glasses or sunglasses is a simple way to completely transform your look – just like a new hairstyle.
281
I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.
282
That’s my gift. I let that negativity roll off me like water off a duck’s back. If it’s not positive, I didn’t hear it. If you can overcome that, fights are easy.
283
Words are like weapons; they wound sometimes.
284
285
286
There’s one thing everyone should understand: I like my character.
287
288
Ah, the patter of little feet around the house. There’s nothing like having a midget for a butler.
289
The Bible says to ‘fear not,’ but this doesn’t mean you should never feel scared. It means when you do feel fear, keep going forward and do what you are supposed to do. Or as I like to say, do it afraid.
290
Wearing a turtleneck is like being strangled by a really weak guy, all day. Wearing a backpack and a turtleneck is like a weak midget trying to bring you down.

Life is like a roller coaster, live it, be happy, enjoy life.
294
Being a Christian is more than just an instantaneous conversion – it is a daily process whereby you grow to be more and more like Christ.
295
296
America is dumb. It’s like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you – aggressive. My daughter is four; my boy is one. I’d like them to see America as a toy – a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling, and then get out.
297
Love is like an hourglass, with the heart filling up as the brain empties.
298
299
The Church is not an automobile showroom – a place to put ourselves on display so that others can admire our spirituality, capacity, or prosperity. It is more like a service center, where vehicles in need of repair come for maintenance and rehabilitation.
300
Being transgender, like being gay, tall, short, white, black, male, or female, is another part of the human condition that makes each individual unique, and something over which we have no control. We are who we are in the deepest recesses of our minds, hearts and identities.
301
Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
302
303
The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.
304
If you’re you, it doesn’t matter if you’re the most boring person in the world: someone will like you. You’re not trying to be anyone else.
305
306
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.

Work like you don’t need the money. Love like you’ve never been hurt. Dance like nobody’s watching.
308
My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life.
309
310
311
I guess we all like to be recognized not for one piece of fireworks, but for the ledger of our daily work.
312
313
We only see what we want to see; we only hear what we want to hear. Our belief system is just like a mirror that only shows us what we believe.
314
315
There is no psychiatrist in the world like a puppy licking your face.
316
I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past.
317
318
319
320
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
321
I can say that I never knew what joy was like until I gave up pursuing happiness, or cared to live until I chose to die. For these two discoveries I am beholden to Jesus.
322
A good compromise, a good piece of legislation, is like a good sentence; or a good piece of music. Everybody can recognize it. They say, ‘Huh. It works. It makes sense.’
323
Things don’t always go your way in football: there are always good and bad times. At the end of the day, you have to have a positive attitude and a strong mentality and not let any setbacks get you down. And that’s what I’ve done – I’ve tried to keep my composure, even when things aren’t going the way I’d like.
324
This time, like all times, is a very good one, if we but know what to do with it.

328
329
Try to be like the turtle – at ease in your own shell.
330
There’s nothing like the peace of the countryside, the quiet and the lack of distraction. It helps you to focus your mind.
331
332
It’s weird… people say they’re not like apes. Now how do you explain football then?
333
334
335
336
Beauty and femininity are ageless and can’t be contrived, and glamour, although the manufacturers won’t like this, cannot be manufactured. Not real glamour; it’s based on femininity.
337
You cannot look up at the night sky on the Planet Earth and not wonder what it’s like to be up there amongst the stars. And I always look up at the moon and see it as the single most romantic place within the cosmos.
338
Every song is like a painting.
339
The only way to get love is to be lovable. It’s very irritating if you have a lot of money. You’d like to think you could write a check: ‘I’ll buy a million dollars‘ worth of love.’ But it doesn’t work that way. The more you give love away, the more you get.
340
I like to fish. Fishing is always a way of relaxing.
341
Courage is like love; it must have hope for nourishment.
342

348
349
350
Power is like being a lady… if you have to tell people you are, you aren’t.
351
352

353
354
I like to feel blonde all over.
355
356
357
Last year we said, ‘Things can’t go on like this’, and they didn’t, they got worse.
358
Some people don’t like change, but you need to embrace change if the alternative is disaster.
359
I love deadlines. I like the whooshing sound they make as they fly by.
360
Instead of getting married again, I’m going to find a woman I don’t like and just give her a house.
361
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
362
I don’t give a damn what people say about me. I like me the way I am, and who cares what other people say?
363
Laws are like sausages, it is better not to see them being made.
364
Moderation is a fatal thing. Nothing succeeds like excess.
365
366
367
Everything is very black and white for me. I don’t really like playing mind games.
368
Marriage is an adventure, like going to war.
369
It is not your paintings I like, it is your painting.
370
The world is like a reverse casino. In a casino, if you gamble long enough, you’re certainly going to lose. But in the real world, where the only thing you’re gambling is, say, your time or your embarrassment, then the more stuff you do, the more you give luck a chance to find you.
371
372
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
373
374
There’s nothing like spending an evening with an audience every night.
375
Sometimes it’s like watching a train wreck. You’re uncomfortable, but you just can’t help yourself. Some of those so-called bad interviews actually turned into compelling television.
376
377
My books are like water; those of the great geniuses are wine. (Fortunately) everybody drinks water.
378
True friendship multiplies the good in life and divides its evils. Strive to have friends, for life without friends is like life on a desert island… to find one real friend in a lifetime is good fortune; to keep him is a blessing.
379
380
381
382
383
I don’t fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.
384
Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells.
385
386
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
387
388
389
Procrastination is like a credit card: it’s a lot of fun until you get the bill.
390

392
393
394

396
397
398
399
Don’t let it end like this. Tell them I said something.
400
I like being a villain. Villains are more exciting.
401
402
Because forgiveness is like this: a room can be dank because you have closed the windows, you’ve closed the curtains. But the sun is shining outside, and the air is fresh outside. In order to get that fresh air, you have to get up and open the window and draw the curtains apart.
403
Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.
404
Be like a postage stamp. Stick to one thing until you get there.
405
Most people don’t have that willingness to break bad habits. They have a lot of excuses and they talk like victims.
406
A day without sunshine is like, you know, night.
407
408
409
A woman should be like a single flower, not a whole bouquet.
410
Showing up is like 90 percent of the battle, and just make sure your hair is really cute.
411
Communication is a skill that you can learn. It’s like riding a bicycle or typing. If you’re willing to work at it, you can rapidly improve the quality of evry part of your life.
412
There is no cosmetic for beauty like happiness.
413
414
Women are like elephants. I like to look at ’em, but I wouldn’t want to own one.
415
I do quite naughty things now. I do like to be a bit sexy.
416
A journey is like marriage. The certain way to be wrong is to think you control it.
417
418
419
420
421
422
I like nonsense; it wakes up the brain cells.
423
424
Rock and roll music, if you like it, if you feel it, you can’t help but move to it. That’s what happens to me. I can’t help it.’
425
I’d like to kiss ya, but I just washed my hair.
426
Won’t you come into the garden? I would like my roses to see you.
427
Truth, like light, blinds. Falsehood, on the contrary, is a beautiful twilight that enhances every object.
428
Personally I’m always ready to learn, although I do not always like being taught.
429
Goodness is about character – integrity, honesty, kindness, generosity, moral courage, and the like. More than anything else, it is about how we treat other people.
430
Success is only meaningful and enjoyable if it feels like your own.
431
History never looks like history when you are living through it.
432
Water for me is so essential, like swimming.
433
434
Genius without education is like silver in the mine.
435
Charity bestowed upon those who are worthy of it is like good seed sown on a good soil that yields an abundance of fruits. But alms given to those who are yet under the tyrannical yoke of the passions are like seed deposited in a bad soil. The passions of the receiver of the alms choke, as it were, the growth of merits.
436
I feel like I’m opening the doors for more people. That they feel more comfortable being out. Especially in the hip-hop community.
437
There is no influence like the influence of habit.
438
Life without love is like a tree without blossoms or fruit.
439
440
441
442
443
444
445
No matter what a woman looks like, if she’s confident, she’s sexy.
446
The art of living is more like wrestling than dancing.
447
The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping, almost. It’s like going to get all the ingredients together, and you’ve got to make sure before you leave the store that you got all the ingredients. And then you take those ingredients and you can make a good cake – or not.
448
I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you’re really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you’re saying: ‘Hope I don’t get chased today.’ ‘Be nice to people in sneakers.’
449
What is morality in any given time or place? It is what the majority then and there happen to like and immorality is what they dislike.
450
451
452
453
I am impelled, not to squeak like a grateful and apologetic mouse, but to roar like a lion out of pride in my profession.
454
455
456
457
Computers are like Old Testament gods; lots of rules and no mercy.
458
Software is like sex: it’s better when it’s free.
459
460
For me, success is a state of mind. I feel like success isn’t about conquering something; it’s being happy with who you are.
461
In modern war… you will die like a dog for no good reason.
462
I like my peace. I am happy in my space.
463
464
I like people that enjoy life, ’cause I do the same.
465
Older women know who they are, and that makes them more beautiful than younger ones. I like to see a face with some character. I want to see lines. I want to see wrinkles.
466
I like the religion that teaches liberty, equality and fraternity.
467
I am not going to die, I’m going home like a shooting star.
468
Technology, like art, is a soaring exercise of the human imagination.
469
470
471
472
473
People do not like to think. If one thinks, one must reach conclusions. Conclusions are not always pleasant.
474
I never understood why when you died, you didn’t just vanish, everything could just keep going on the way it was only you just wouldn’t be there. I always thought I’d like my own tombstone to be blank. No epitaph, and no name. Well, actually, I’d like it to say ‘figment.’
475
Mark Wahlberg, when I was in high school, people were like, ‘You look like Marky Mark!’ Then as I got older, they were like, ‘You look like Donnie Wahlberg.’ Now they’re like, ‘You look like Donnie Wahlberg’s cousin from Massachusetts.’
476
Colors, like features, follow the changes of the emotions.
477
I never feel lonely if I’ve got a book – they’re like old friends. Even if you’re not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And they’re part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey through life.
478
479
480
Where would you be without friends? The people to pick you up when you need lifting? We come from homes far from perfect, so you end up almost parent and sibling to your friends – your own chosen family. There’s nothing like a really loyal, dependable, good friend. Nothing.
481
It’s like everything in football – and life. You need to look, you need to think, you need to move, you need to find space, you need to help others. It’s very simple in the end.
482
Confidence is not, ‘They will like me’. Confidence instead is, ‘I’ll be fine if they don’t’.
483
484
485
486
Friendship at first sight, like love at first sight, is said to be the only truth.
487
At the end of the day, if you feel like you’re a good person, and your intentions are good, then that’s all that matters.
488
I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something’s not good enough, and I won’t stop until I feel like I’ve made it. I’m never satisfied.
489
490
Strong people are made by opposition like kites that go up against the wind.
491
The learning process is something you can incite, literally incite, like a riot.
492
493
I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
494
495
I’ve never felt particularly ambitious or driven, that’s for sure, although I like to create stuff, whether it’s a little doodle, a drawing, a small painting or a movie or a piece of music, so I suppose I’m driven by that. Everything I’ve done has felt very natural, and it’s happened because it’s happened.
496
497
498
For me, growing up felt like a roller coaster ride at times, but looking back, I don’t think that it was such a bad thing. It was all part of the excitement of being young.
499
Why don’t you get a haircut? You look like a chrysanthemum.
500
Like all great travellers, I have seen more than I remember, and remember more than I have seen.
501
502
You can’t pee like a puppy if you wanna run with the big dogs.
503
The artist, like the God of the creation, remains within or behind or beyond or above his handiwork, invisible, refined out of existence, indifferent, paring his fingernails.
504
Life is like a sewer: what you get out of it depends on what you put into it.
505
I love people who make me laugh. I honestly think it’s the thing I like most, to laugh. It cures a multitude of ills. It’s probably the most important thing in a person.
506
507
Life’s a bit like mountaineering – never look down.
508
No one ever told me that grief felt so like fear.
509
510
We have to confront ourselves. Do we like what we see in the mirror? And, according to our light, according to our understanding, according to our courage, we will have to say yea or nay – and rise!
511
512
I wish my name was Brian because maybe sometimes people would misspell my name and call me Brain. That’s like a free compliment and you don’t even gotta be smart to notice it.
513
514
515
516
The only think I like better than talking about Food is eating.
517
518
519
I like Kit-Kat, unless I’m with four or more people.
520
521
522
Education is a continual process, it’s like a bicycle… If you don’t pedal you don’t go forward.
523
The thing to do, it seems to me, is to prepare yourself so you can be a rainbow in somebody else’s cloud. Somebody who may not look like you. May not call God the same name you call God – if they call God at all. I may not dance your dances or speak your language. But be a blessing to somebody. That’s what I think.
524
525
526
We forfeit three-quarters of ourselves in order to be like other people.
527
Confession of errors is like a broom which sweeps away the dirt and leaves the surface brighter and clearer. I feel stronger for confession.
528
Spring has returned. The Earth is like a child that knows poems.
529
530
531
I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, drinking a lot of water and exercising.
532
I like peace and quiet. It’s like I’m a loner.
533
534
535
Some people say I’ve got a five-octave range, which is ridiculous. That would mean I’d sing like Mariah Carey or that alien in ‘The Fifth Element.’ And I’m nothing like that blue alien. I’ve got a range of about 3 1/2 octaves.
536
Beauty is unbearable, drives us to despair, offering us for a minute the glimpse of an eternity that we should like to stretch out over the whole of time.
537
Passion is the evil in adultery. If a man has no opportunity of living with another man‘s wife, but if it is obvious for some reason that he would like to do so, and would do so if he could, he is no less guilty than if he was caught in the act.
538
Keep love in your heart. A life without it is like a sunless garden when the flowers are dead.
539
540
541
I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.
542
543
Act the way you’d like to be and soon you’ll be the way you act.
544
I used to work in the cotton fields a lot when I was young. There were a lot of African Americans working out there. A lot of Mexicans – the blacks and the whites and the Mexicans, all out there singing, and it was like an opera in the cotton fields, and I can still hear it in the music that I write and play today.
545
546
547
What is a soul? It’s like electricity – we don’t really know what it is, but it’s a force that can light a room.
548
I like to be quiet and play guitar and just chill.
549
I like the danger, I like the adrenaline and I need it to race.
550
551
Freedom consists not in doing what we like, but in having the right to do what we ought.
552
Singing is my passion, my first love and the secret of my energy. Music to me is like finding my inner self, my soul. It gives me a great joy to see audiences enjoying with me. I have given my heart to singing. When I sing, I can feel romance in everything around me.
553
Paradise is exactly like where you are right now… only much, much better.
554
When someone hands you a flyer, it’s like they’re saying here you throw this away.
555
556
557
558
Like all best families, we have our share of eccentricities, of impetuous and wayward youngsters and of family disagreements.
559
The strongest governments on earth cannot clean up pollution by themselves. They must rely on each ordinary person, like you and me, on our choices, and on our will.
560
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.
561
Achievements are precious and timeless, just like the precious metal platinum. And what better way to celebrate milestones in your life than with precious platinum.
562
I don’t have a religion. I believe in a God. I don’t know what it looks like but it’s MY god. My own interpretation of the supernatural.
563
I like gardening – it’s a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.
564
565
I am a human being, with feelings and emotions and scars and flaws, just like anyone else.
566
Our virtues and our failings are inseparable, like force and matter. When they separate, man is no more.
567
568
569
570
Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don’t like them.
571
If you feel like there’s something out there that you’re supposed to be doing, if you have a passion for it, then stop wishing and just do it.
572
573
574
True friendship is like sound health; the value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
575
Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.
576
577
We must think and act like a nation of a billion people and not like that of a million people. Dream, dream, dream!
578
Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There’s nothing to do but to stand there and take it.
579
580
I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family – and I don’t think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.
581
582
583
Don’t disrespect me, lie about it, and then come smile in my face and act like nothing’s wrong.
584
I always like a good song: puts me in a good mood.
585
Your best T-shirt should be like your bed; it just feels like you are home when you are in it.
586
Life is like the ocean, it goes up and down.
587
588
I see the world in black and white, and I don’t like compromising.
589
Sometimes I’m in a bad mood, sometimes I’m in a good mood. It’s like everyone else.
590
The best thing about being a DJ is making people happy. There is nothing like seeing people get up from a table to dance or the expression on their face when they hear a song they love. I also love to educate people on music they have never heard.
591
I’d like to live as a poor man with lots of money.
592
Enthusiasm is everything. It must be taut and vibrating like a guitar string.
593
I think that inside every adult is the heart of a child. We just gradually convince ourselves that we have to act more like adults.
594
595
Sometimes you have to play a long time to be able to play like yourself.
596
Know your worth! People always act like they’re doing more for you than you’re doing for them.
597
598
599
I just enjoy life in a way where I like being my own person.
600
It is more fun to talk with someone who doesn’t use long, difficult words but rather short, easy words, like ‘What about lunch?’
601
602
Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving.
603
It’s like deja-vu, all over again.
604
I live by this rule – breakfast like a king, lunch like a prince and dinner like a pauper.
605
A heart without dreams is like a bird without feathers.
