200
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there… and still on your feet.
201
When Thomas Edison worked late into the night on the electric light, he had to do it by gas lamp or candle. I’m sure it made the work seem that much more urgent.
202
In experimental philosophy, we are to look upon propositions inferred by general induction from phenomena as accurately or very nearly true, notwithstanding any contrary hypotheses that may be imagined, till such time as other phenomena occur by which they may either be made more accurate or liable to exceptions.
203
Act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.
204

205
The day I made that statement, about the inventing the internet, I was tired because I’d been up all night inventing the Camcorder.
206
You were made by God and for God, and until you understand that, life will never make sense.

Constantine ‘Costa’ Gratsos had made his fortune as a lifelong associate of shipping icon Aristotle Onassis. He took a liking to me, became my first mentor, and showed me how to swim in the deep, dangerous waters of business.

Dost thou love life? Then do not squander time, for that is the stuff life is made of.
211
The fighter is born. He cannot be made.

213
When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits, I was – my big thing was I went to put super unleaded in my truck for the first time.
214
It’s not like I’m against alcohol. It’s just a decision I made, and if you’ve never had it, you don’t miss it. I’ve been drenched in champagne a few times over my career. I might have a drink if England win the World Cup. That’s one moment where I might.
215
When someone bestows something on you, no matter how true it is, when someone says, ‘Sexiest Man Alive,’ I’m honestly going, ‘Thank you. Right on.’ For me, it’s never canceled out anything, it’s never made me go, ‘Does this make me less talented of an actor?’
216
I am sure that the sad days and happenings were rare, and that I lived the joyous and careless life of other children; but just because the happy days were so habitual to me they made no impression upon my mind, and I can no longer recall them.
217
The CIA is made up of boys whose families sent them to Princeton but wouldn’t let them into the family brokerage business.
218
I have an orthopedic pillow that’s made out of a sponge material. I have a plate in my throat, and I have to be careful or I could end up with a bad neck in the morning. That pillow is a must everywhere I go.
219
I had some money, I made the best paintings ever. I was completely reclusive, worked a lot, took a lot of drugs. I was awful to people.
Jean-Michel Basquiat
220
I used to look like an American flag. The Padre uniform makes me look like a taco. Actually, the transition has been great. I’ve made 25 new friends, and I never thought I wanted to be anything other than a Dodger, but this is fun.
Steve Garvey
221
Ocean: A body of water occupying about two-thirds of a world made for man – who has no gills.
222
Jobs offshoring began with manufacturing, but the rise of the high-speed Internet made it possible to move offshore tradable professional skills, such as software engineering, information technology, various forms of engineering, architecture, accounting, and even the medical reading of MRIs and CT-Scans.
223
When my son was growing up, I was always guilty, no matter what I did. Make decisions and be happy with the decisions you’ve made. I tell myself, in the long run, it’s the love, the quality of relationships that you have with your family, your friends and giving back to the community that matters.
224
The original version of ‘Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang’ was made to a Boz Scaggs song; I can’t remember the name of the song.
225

John Candy
226
Love is a smoke made with the fume of sighs.
227
Praised be You, my Lord, through Sister Moon and the stars; in the heavens, you have made them bright, precious and fair.
228
Sometimes I feel like crying, tears of happiness, tears of joy, to see the distance we’ve come and the progress we’ve made.
229
My only advice is, follow your dream and do whatever you like to do the most. I chose journalism because I wanted to be in the places where history was being made.
230
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
Dante Alighieri
231
When I won the first Grammy, there was no other feeling like that feeling. It just made me feel like I came so far, like that was just a dream a few years before that, and then it was happening right then.
232
The public wants to know that their political leaders will stay true to the promise made to them that Brexit means Brexit.

236
I am a most noteworthy sinner, but I have cried out to the Lord for grace and mercy, and they have covered me completely. I have found the sweetest consolation since I made it my whole purpose to enjoy His marvellous Presence.
237
I am even thankful for the negative things that have made me a stronger and better person.
238
True individual freedom cannot exist without economic security and independence. People who are hungry and out of a job are the stuff of which dictatorships are made.
239
In the heart of the Great Depression, millions of American workers did something they’d never done before: they joined a union. Emboldened by the passage of the Wagner Act, which made collective bargaining easier, unions organized industries across the country, remaking the economy.
240
I had been taught that if I cried, to be quiet about it, so whereas I never howled, the least thing made me cry both at school and at home. Crying tends to separate a child from other children, for even children dislike a cry baby, and I had no friends in the world.
241
Every generation inherits a world it never made; and, as it does so, it automatically becomes the trustee of that world for those who come after. In due course, each generation makes its own accounting to its children.
242
I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.
243
When I was a young man, Dirac was my hero. He made a breakthrough, a new method of doing physics. He had the courage to simply guess at the form of an equation, the equation we now call the Dirac equation, and to try to interpret it afterwards.

No business in the world has ever made more money with poorer management.
Bill Terry
245

King Solomon
247
For the very first time the young are seeing history being made before it is censored by their elders.
248
The Labour party has, from the beginning, been made up of diverse factions; that’s its beauty – asking it to become cohesive is like trying to find one shampoo that will care for the hair of everybody in Angelina Jolie’s house.
249
There was my name up in lights. I said, ‘God, somebody‘s made a mistake.’ But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, ‘Remember, you’re not a star.’ Yet there it was up in lights.
250
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
251
If you were successful, somebody along the line gave you some help… Somebody helped to create this unbelievable American system that we have that allowed you to thrive. Somebody invested in roads and bridges. If you’ve got a business – you didn’t build that. Somebody else made that happen.
252
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
253
I was taught that Jesus the Son of God was a white man, and hearing black people singing, ‘Lord, wash me, and I will be whiter than snow,’ made me sick.
254
I used to get made fun of in the minor leagues. I’d be 0 for 2, and then in my last at-bat I’d hit a chopper that wouldn’t even reach the shortstop, and I’d get a hit out of it. The guys would be all over me, but a hit’s a hit. I’ll take 3,000 of ’em.
Mike Trout
255
If I had permitted my failures, or what seemed to me at the time a lack of success, to discourage me I cannot see any way in which I would ever have made progress.
256
I recently took up ice sculpting. Last night I made an ice cube. This morning I made 12, I was prolific.

We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons.
Alfred Newman
258
If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.
259
I’m the only man in the world with a marriage licence made out to whom it may concern.
260
Ideas are like pizza dough, made to be tossed around.
261
Great industries are never made from single companies. There is room in space for a lot of winners.
262
Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river; it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger; it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.
263
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
L. Frank Baum
264
Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one’s definition of your life; define yourself.
265
Few people think more than two or three times a year; I have made an international reputation for myself by thinking once or twice a week.
266
To the old saying that man built the house but woman made of it a ‘home’ might be added the modern supplement that woman accepted cooking as a chore but man has made of it a recreation.

What made Louis Vuitton famous was the quality. We don’t do marketing; we just create products which are exceptional in their design and craftsmanship.
271
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.
272
‘Redneck’ has been terribly abused as a term. Where I come from, a redneck was a farmer who worked the fields all day and got his neck sunburned. People made fun of them.
273
You know, the benefit in life is to say, ‘Maybe you made a mistake, let’s dig deep.’
274
Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
275
I like the story about Henry David Thoreau, who, when he was on his death bed, his family sent for a minister. The minister said, ‘Henry, have you made your peace with God?’ Thoreau said, ‘I didn’t know we’d quarreled.’
276
Political promises are much like marriage vows. They are made at the beginning of the relationship between candidate and voter, but are quickly forgotten.
277
Some things is made by destiny, yes, other things by hard work, but quality you don’t learn. Quality you are born with.
278
The more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.
279
I’ve been lucky, I’ve had movies that made a lot of money, so I don’t feel like I have to kill every time out. I don’t want that pressure. I don’t need it.
280
I was always afraid of dying. Always. It was my fear that made me learn everything I could about my airplane and my emergency equipment, and kept me flying respectful of my machine and always alert in the cockpit.
Chuck Yeager

What you lack in talent can be made up with desire, hustle and giving 110 percent all the time.
Don Zimmer
282
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
283
I’ve made my share of mistakes along the way, but if I have changed even one life for the better, I haven’t lived in vain.
284
My favorite fall or winter lunch is big steaming bowls of soup. I usually invite people for around 12:30 and have two hearty soups like shrimp corn chowder and lentil sausage soup, which can be made a day or two ahead.
285
Universal suffrage should rest upon universal education. To this end, liberal and permanent provision should be made for the support of free schools by the State governments, and, if need be, supplemented by legitimate aid from national authority.
286
Surely God would not have created such a being as man, with an ability to grasp the infinite, to exist only for a day! No, no, man was made for immortality.
287
My wife can’t cook at all. She made chocolate mousse. An antler got stuck in my throat.
288
I do not so much rejoice that God hath made me to be a Queen, as to be a Queen over so thankful a people.
289
Success is peace of mind, which is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best of which you are capable.
290
Me and John Mayer met via a mutual connect, we were by the studio and he asked If I could play him my music. When he heard ‘Under The Influence,’ he asked if he could be a part of the track and of course, we made that happen.
291
The most dangerous leadership myth is that leaders are born-that there is a genetic factor to leadership. This myth asserts that people simply either have certain charismatic qualities or not. That’s nonsense; in fact, the opposite is true. Leaders are made rather than born.
292
If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own.
Richard Cecil
293
I often tell my students not to be misled by the name ‘artificial intelligence‘ – there is nothing artificial about it. AI is made by humans, intended to behave by humans, and, ultimately, to impact humans’ lives and human society.
294
Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
295
If I revealed all that has been made known to me, scarcely a man on this stand would stay with me.’ and ‘Brethren, if I were to tell you all I know of the kingdom of God, I do know that you would rise up and kill me.
296
Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
Emily Bronte
297
This island is made mainly of coal and surrounded by fish. Only an organizing genius could produce a shortage of coal and fish at the same time.
Aneurin Bevan
298
At the heart of anti-Semitism lies Moses. He made a catastrophic error, a terrible mistake, and all anti-Semitism for two thousand years stems from his misjudgement. Moses said we Jews could remain a people without having a land. He said we don’t need territory to hold onto our Jewish identity. This was a disaster.
299
Those things which I am saying now may be obscure, yet they will be made clearer in their proper place.
300
It is a well-known fact that those people who must want to rule people are, ipso facto, those least suited to do it… anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
301
Is Wagner a human being at all? Is he not rather a disease? He contaminates everything he touches – he has made music sick.
302
Don’t ask who’s influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he’s digested, and I’ve been reading all my life.
Giorgos Seferis
303
I was born in South Africa during apartheid, a system of laws that made it illegal for people to mix in South Africa. And this was obviously awkward because I grew up in a mixed family. My mother’s a black woman, South African Xhosa woman… and my father’s Swiss, from Switzerland.
304
Friends are born, not made.
305
Affiliate marketing has made businesses millions and ordinary people millionaires.
306
We are each made for goodness, love and compassion. Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths.
307
I could fall in love with a sumo wrestler if he told stories and made me laugh. Obviously, it would be easier if someone was African-American and lived next door and went to the same church. Because then I wouldn’t have to translate.
308
Struggle teaches you a lot of things, and I am happy that I witnessed a roller coaster ride. The journey has improved me as a person and made me more mature.
309
We didn’t slow down, unlike the others, when we got to the moon because we needed its gravity to get back, so we hold the altitude record. I never even thought about it. Records are only made to be broken.
310
When I was a kid, monsters made me feel that I could fit somewhere, even if it was… an imaginary place where the grotesque and the abnormal were celebrated and accepted.
311
The ability to change constantly and effectively is made easier by high-level continuity.
312
No man can stand still; the moment progress is not made, retrogression begins. If the blade is not kept sharp and bright, the law of rust will assert its claim.
313
When I think back on it, of course I got lucky and got great directors and good breaks but all that was the physical part. But what made me a star was that I could take a chance and not have anything to worry about in terms of losing.
314
I made my money by selling too soon.
315
I ain’t going to sit here like, ‘My neighborhood was hard, and I had to get out there and grind.’ We made it hard for ourselves. We chose to stay on the streets.
316
Geography has made us neighbors. History has made us friends. Economics has made us partners, and necessity has made us allies. Those whom God has so joined together, let no man put asunder.
317
No great achiever – even those who made it seem easy – ever succeeded without hard work.
318
They say marriages are made in Heaven. But so is thunder and lightning.
319
True self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There’s no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.
320
The right of self defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals, and whether the attack be made by Spain herself or by those who abuse her power, its obligation is not the less strong.
321
The Supreme Court, of course, has the responsibility of ensuring that our government never oversteps its proper bounds or violates the rights of individuals. But the Court must also recognize the limits on itself and respect the choices made by the American people.
Elena Kagan
322
The high probability is if American forces withdraw from Afghanistan and if no alternative international arrangement is made that then the historic contests between the regions and the sects will reappear, the Taliban will re-emerge, and a very complicated and maybe chaotic situation will develop.
323
Since my childhood, I have always made works with polka dots. Earth, moon, sun and human beings all represent dots; a single particle among billions.
324
There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.
325
Two or three things I know for sure, and one is that I’d rather go naked than wear the coat the world has made for me.

329
Man never made any material as resilient as the human spirit.
330
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
331
Before I had a double mastectomy, I was already pretty flat-chested, and I made so many jokes over the years about how small my chest was that I started to think that maybe my boobs overheard me… and were just like, ‘You know what? We’re sick of this. Let’s kill her.’
332
The minute you decide to do what you love to do, you have made a life plan for yourself and a career choice.
333
With my resignation, I… left unfulfilled commitments I made to many comrades in the fight, commitments I hold sacred. My service did not end as I would have wished.
334
We are all shaped by where we grow up, though that shaping takes different forms. I don’t think there’s any doubt that coming of age in Winnipeg both opened my eyes and made me hungry – if I can subvert all claims to be a real writer by mixing metaphors like that.
335
Gay people are made and not born.
336
Mathematicians are born, not made.
337
The devil made me do it.
338
Conservatism is rooted in preservation; progressivism advances alteration. These are different love languages. These languages turn on your view of change itself: When you think of America, do you see a country struggling to be maintained or one striving to be made better?
339
Dorothy is the only woman in history who has had her menopause in public and made it pay.
Alice Roosevelt Longworth
340
During a few days’ halt near Vesontio for the provision of corn and other supplies, a panic arose from inquiries made by our troops and remarks uttered by Gauls and traders, who affirmed that the Germans were men of a mighty frame and an incredible valour and skill at arms.
Julius Caesar
341
Poetry is a phantom script telling how rainbows are made and why they go away.
342
Perhaps the fact that we have seen millions voting themselves into complete dependence on a tyrant has made our generation understand that to choose one’s government is not necessarily to secure freedom.
343
All the seven deadly sins are man’s true nature. To be greedy. To be hateful. To have lust. Of course, you have to control them, but if you’re made to feel guilty for being human, then you’re going to be trapped in a never-ending sin-and-repent cycle that you can’t escape from.
344
I asked myself, ‘What are you going to do with your life? Are you going to be like everyone else or are you going to do what’s right?’ I just made a decision. I said, ‘It’s time to grow up. It’s time to start living for the Lord, do things the right way.’ I accepted the Lord, and it changed my life.
345
Years ago I went into my laboratory and said, ‘Dear Mr. Creator, please tell me what the universe was made for?’ The Great Creator answered, ‘You want to know too much for that little mind of yours. Ask for something more your size, little man.’
346
With my wife I don’t get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to ‘the best woman a man ever had.’ The waiter joined me.
347
It’s been a long road for me, with a lot of ups and downs. Thankfully there have been more ups than there have been downs. For me, what brings me down has only made me stronger because of it.
348
It is questionable if all the mechanical inventions yet made have lightened the day’s toil of any human being.
349
Looking back, I’m really happy with the choices I’ve made in my career. I know for a fact I could be wealthier. Who knows, maybe I could be more successful, maybe not. I don’t know. But just about every single thing I’ve ever done I’ve gone into with the right intentions, and that goes a long way.
350
False history gets made all day, any day, the truth of the new is never on the news.
351
Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
352
In a universe made out of energy, everything is entangled; everything is one.
353
When Henry Ford made cheap, reliable cars people said, ‘Nah, what’s wrong with a horse?’ That was a huge bet he made, and it worked.
354
There is always a certain leap of faith that editors have made with their nonfiction writers. If the trust is broken, things can get very embarrassing for the writers and the publisher.
A. Scott Berg
355
Science has revealed that the human body is made up of millions and millions of atoms… For example, I am made up of 5.8×10 27 atoms.
356
The animals of the world exist for their own reasons. They were not made for humans any more than black people were made for white, or women created for men.
357
My maternal grandmother made fantastic ox tongue with velvety roasted potatoes. She cooked sweet red cabbage and lovely cauliflower with butter and bread crumbs.
358
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly‘s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
359
I’ve always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn’t have a chance to win.
360
The more laws and order are made prominent, the more thieves and robbers there will be.
361
I know my country has not perfected itself. At times, we’ve struggled to keep the promise of liberty and equality for all of our people. We’ve made our share of mistakes, and there are times when our actions around the world have not lived up to our best intentions.
362
Andy Warhol made fame more famous.
363
It put our energies to sleep and made visionaries of us – dreamers and indolent… It is good to begin life poor; it is good to begin life rich – these are wholesome; but to begin it prospectively rich! The man who has not experienced it cannot imagine the curse of it.
364
I steal from every movie ever made.
365
A Jewish woman had two chickens. One got sick, so the woman made chicken soup out of the other one to help the sick one get well.

Madam C. J. Walker
367

368
A great architect is not made by way of a brain nearly so much as he is made by way of a cultivated, enriched heart.
369
We are such stuff as dreams are made on; and our little life is rounded with a sleep.
370
I’d like to be remembered as someone who made a difference in the lives of young people – that I nurtured someone and taught them to pursue their dreams and their careers, to leave a legacy.
371
Law; an ordinance of reason for the common good, made by him who has care of the community.

Beilby Porteus
374
He made the impossible possible.
375
Work is love made visible. And if you cannot work with love but only with distaste, it is better that you should leave your work and sit at the gate of the temple and take alms of those who work with joy.
376
Being a housewife and a mother is the biggest job in the world, but if it doesn’t interest you, don’t do it – I would have made a terrible mother.
377
It’s a repressive society where you can’t be horrible, I’m not horrible, they made me horrible, I’m just honest.
378
No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
379
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.
380
Writing about 2,000 words in three hours every morning, ‘Casino Royale’ dutifully produced itself. I wrote nothing and made no corrections until the book was finished. If I had looked back at what I had written the day before I might have despaired.
Ian Fleming
381
I blew through all my money and made some very bad decisions. I had this scam artist scam me real bad and was embezzled over $175,000.
382
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
383
A man who has never made a woman angry is a failure in life.
384
If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way.
385
I made a point of eating so fast I never kept the other people waiting who generally ordered only chef‘s salad and grapefruit juice because they were trying to reduce. Almost everybody I met in New York was trying to reduce.
386
I remember when I was a child… walking into the woods by myself and feeling the solitude around me build like electricity and pass through my body with a jolt that made my hair prickle.
387
I don’t think of myself as a poor deprived ghetto girl who made good. I think of myself as somebody who from an early age knew I was responsible for myself, and I had to make good.
388
Military leaders aren’t made. They are born. To be a good leader, you have to have something in your character to cause people to follow you.

Emancipation of women has made them lose their mystery.
Grace Kelly
391
It is true that the king has made a truce with the duke of Burgundy for fifteen days and that the duke is to turn over the city of Paris at the end of fifteen days. Yet you should not marvel if I do not enter that city so quickly.
392
I can’t really cook, but the first dish I ever made was for my girlfriend, Eleanor. I made chicken breast wrapped in ham, homemade mashed potatoes, and gravy.
393
I want to make paintings that look as if they were made by a child.
Jean-Michel Basquiat
394
I always thought I wanted to play professionally, and I always knew that to do that I’d have to make a lot of sacrifices. I made sacrifices by leaving Argentina, leaving my family to start a new life. I changed my friends, my people. Everything. But everything I did, I did for football, to achieve my dream.
395
The whole mystery of temptation is to have sins suggested to us, and to be swept after them by a sudden enthusiasm, which sometimes feels as strong as the Spirit of God ever made in us the enthusiasm for virtue.
George A. Smith
396
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.
397
Talking about dreams is like talking about movies, since the cinema uses the language of dreams; years can pass in a second, and you can hop from one place to another. It’s a language made of image. And in the real cinema, every object and every light means something, as in a dream.
398
From the dust of the earth, from the common elementary fund, the Creator has made Homo sapiens. From the same material he has made every other creature, however noxious and insignificant to us. They are earth-born companions and our fellow mortals.
399
There’s two possible outcomes: if the result confirms the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery. If the result is contrary to the hypothesis, then you’ve made a discovery.
Enrico Fermi
400
Life is too short to spend in negativity. So I have made a conscious effort to not be where I don’t want to be.
Hugh Dillon
401
Not a few other very eminent and scholarly men made the same request, urging that I should no longer through fear refuse to give out my work for the common benefit of students of Mathematics.
402
When I woke up this morning my girlfriend asked me, ‘Did you sleep good?’ I said ‘No, I made a few mistakes.’
403

404
The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.

Life is not what you expect: it is made up of the most unexpected twists and turns.
408
God made the country, and man made the town.
409
The people’s government, made for the people, made by the people, and answerable to the people.
410
I will forever be a Bond. It’s a small group of men who’ve made this role. Someone said, More men have walked on the moon than have played James Bond.’
411
I don’t really have any regrets because if I choose not to do something there is usually a very good reason. Once I’ve made the decision I don’t view it as a missed opportunity, just a different path.
412
I’m made up of immigrant stock. I went to a primary school in London. I grew up eating Spangles, why shouldn’t I be as well placed to speak for Londoners as anyone else?
413
It is difficult for a woman to define her feelings in language which is chiefly made by men to express theirs.
414
If we made atomic bombs, we would bring about a terrible change in the world. Who knows what would happen from this?
415
Little progress can be made by merely attempting to repress what is evil. Our great hope lies in developing what is good.
416
There are people out there who hate me and who say I’m arrogant, vain, and whatever. That’s all part of my success. I am made to be the best.
417
Regardless of what one’s attitude towards prohibition may be, temperance is something against which, at a time of war, no reasonable protest can be made.
418
The person who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
419
‘No one can make you successful; the will to success comes from within.’ I’ve made this my motto. I’ve internalized it to the point of understanding that the success of my actions and/or endeavors doesn’t depend on anyone else, and that includes a possible failure.
420
The Woman’s Party is made up of women of all races, creeds and nationalities who are united on the one program of working to raise the status of women.
421
There is a fine balance between honoring the past and losing yourself in it. For example, you can acknowledge and learn from mistakes you made, and then move on and refocus on the now. It is called forgiving yourself.
422
The good Lord made us all out of iron. Then he turns up the heat to forge some of us into steel.
423
Friendship, of itself a holy tie, is made more sacred by adversity.
424
Our life is made by the death of others.

426
I am, as I am; whether hideous, or handsome, depends upon who is made judge.
427
Virtually nothing Barack Obama has done has left America or the world better since he became president. Nearly everything he has touched has been made worse.
428
I do spend money. I like to spend money, on houses – on furnishing houses. And I love to give presents to people. It’s just in my nature to be that way. I always spent money I had. And I always spent what I made. I’m not stingy.
429
I think it’s important for me to show the world that sobriety hasn’t made me soft. I’m on a mission to prove I’m still a nutcase.
430
I think that films about faith made for faith-based communities have a certain tactic.
431
Asean is obviously a very important association for us. Over the past 30 years Asean has made great strides in regional cooperation covering a number of areas, although recently it has been under strain because of the financial crisis and other challenges.
Hassanal Bolkiah
432
There are four questions of value in life, Don Octavio. What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made? What is worth living for and what is worth dying for? The answer to each is the same. Only love.
433
But man is not made for defeat. A man can be destroyed but not defeated.
434
When I design and wonder what the point is, I think of someone having a bad time in their life. Maybe they are sad and they wake up and put on something I have made and it makes them feel just a bit better. So, in that sense, fashion is a little help in the life of a person. But only a little.
435
I do not think you can name many great inventions that have been made by married men.
436
My mom and dad did something special when they made me.
437
I made a choice before I lost my legs that I was going to live the best life possible and that I wasn’t going to let this slow me down – and that choice has kept me moving forward.
438
Ever since I made tomorrow my favorite day, I’ve been uncomfortable looking back.
Paul Harvey
439
God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.
Bede Griffiths
440
The script for ‘The Art of Self-Defense,’ to be fair, I knew going into it that it was going to be a hard movie to get made.
441
Great games are played, not made.
442
I’m not one for blaspheming, but that one made me laugh.
443
If we wish to make a new world we have the material ready. The first one, too, was made out of chaos.
Robert Quillen
444
I came from a mother and father who always made me secure in my beliefs, and that’s where the love came from.
445
Financially, I’ve lost money and made money, but I know my way around financially.
446
When humor can be made to alternate with melancholy, one has a success, but when the same things are funny and melancholic at the same time, it’s just wonderful.
Francois Truff

447
Decisions are made by those who show up.
448
The older I get, the more I’m conscious of ways very small things can make a change in the world. Tiny little things, but the world is made up of tiny matters, isn’t it?
449
A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once.
450
‘LIFE Magazine‘ decided to do a story about a young actress in Hollywood in 1954. And I made the cover. And I remember that the fellow who was doing the story on me said, ‘Listen, kid, I just want you to know, if Eisenhower gets a cold, you’re off the cover.’
451
The happiness of life is made up of minute fractions – the little, soon forgotten charities of a kiss or a smile, a kind look or heartfelt compliment.
452
I used to say of Napoleon that his presence on the field made the difference of forty thousand men.
Duke of Wellington
453
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
454
When a place gets crowded enough to require ID’s, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.
455
I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.

Show me a person who has never made a mistake and I’ll show you somebody who has never achieved much.
460
People were laughing at us and we knew it was our fault. The scandal caused us a lot of pain but I guess it made us face reality.
461
If the choice were made, one for us to lose our sovereignty and become a member of the Commonwealth or remain with our sovereignty and lose the membership of the Commonwealth, I would say let the Commonwealth go.
462
It is impossible to get anything made or accomplished without stepping on some toes; enemies are inevitable when one is a doer.
Norma Shearer
463
People think because I’ve got some success, I’ve made it, but in my eyes it’s like, ‘How long has Jay Z been in the business? How many albums has he got?’ Not that I’m trying to be Jay Z, but I am trying to be around for a long time.
464
How would you like a job where when you made a mistake, a big red light goes on and 18,000 people boo?
Jacques Plante
465
Once I had asked God for one or two extra inches in height, but instead, he made me as tall as the sky, so high that I could not measure myself… By giving me this height to reach people, he has also given me great responsibilities.
466
Believe with all your heart that you will do what you were made to do. Never for an instant harbor a doubt of it.
467
If your computer speaks English, it was probably made in Japan.
Alan Perlis
468
Whether slavery shall go into Nebraska, or other new territories, is not a matter of exclusive concern to the people who may go there. The whole nation is interested that the best use shall be made of these territories. We want them for the homes of free white people.
469
I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can’t really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work – making an investment in the future of humanity.
470
I’ve seen a lot in my life. I’ve seen a lot of winning. I’ve seen a lot of testing times. I think when you’re tested, you really find out what you’re made of, OK?
471
Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
O. Henry
472
In wrestling, my mustache made me look more like a villain. A good mustache can give you the look of the devil.
473
Art is made in hindsight.
474
Science, my lad, is made up of mistakes, but they are mistakes which it is useful to make, because they lead little by little to the truth.
475
Sad will be the day for any man when he becomes contented with the thoughts he is thinking and the deeds he is doing – where there is not forever beating at the doors of his soul some great desire to do something larger; which he knows he was meant and made to do.
476
Gold medals aren’t really made of gold. They’re made of sweat, determination, and a hard-to-find alloy called guts.
Dan Gable
477
And I say the sacred hoop of my people was one of the many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all the children of one mother and one father.
478
I find that the best way to do things is to constantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward, if you make a mistake say you made a mistake.
479
We think the Dred Scott decision is erroneous. We know the court that made it has often overruled its own decisions, and we shall do what we can to have it overrule this.
480
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Humphry Davy
481
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies – and I have a nice house, a nice car. I’m fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good.
482
Her angel’s face, As the great eye of heaven shined bright, And made a sunshine in the shady place.
Edmund Spenser
483
Globalisation has made us more vulnerable. It creates a world without borders, and makes us painfully aware of the limitations of our present instruments, and of politics, to meet its challenges.
484
We are living in a world of fear. The life of man today is corroded and made bitter by fear: fear of the future, fear of the hydrogen bomb, fear of ideologies. Perhaps this fear is a greater danger than the danger itself because it is fear, which drives men to act thoughtlessly, to act dangerously.
485
Your grammar is a reflection of your image. Good or bad, you have made an impression. And like all impressions, you are in total control.
486
I have walked into the palaces of kings and queens and into the houses of presidents. And much more. But I could not walk into a hotel in America and get a cup of coffee, and that made me mad.
487
Fires can’t be made with dead embers, nor can enthusiasm be stirred by spiritless men. Enthusiasm in our daily work lightens effort and turns even labor into pleasant tasks.
488
So act that your principle of action might safely be made a law for the whole world.
489
The Father willed that his blessed and glorious Son, whom he gave to us and who was born for us, should through his own blood offer himself as a sacrificial victim on the altar of the cross. This was to be done not for himself through whom all things were made, but for our sins.
490
The people made worse off by slavery were those who were enslaved. Their descendants would have been worse off today if born in Africa instead of America. Put differently, the terrible fate of their ancestors benefitted them.
491
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
492
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
493
Men and women are not born inconstant: they are made so by their early amorous experiences.
494
Money is being made programmable. That’s a fundamental change with implications we can still barely see.
David O. Sacks
495
I made a commitment to completely cut out drinking and anything that might hamper me from getting my mind and body together. And the floodgates of goodness have opened upon me – spiritually and financially.
496
Law is made for man and not man for the law. Wherever we can be sure that the most valuable interests of a nation require that we should decide one way, that way we ought to decide.
497
Opposition is not necessarily enmity; it is merely misused and made an occasion for enmity.
498
A man who has nothing for which he is willing to fight, nothing which is more important than his own personal safety, is a miserable creature and has no chance of being free unless made and kept so by the exertions of better men than himself.
499
God made the world round so we would never be able to see too far down the road.
Karen Blixen
500
God made me an Indian.
501
I have made a ceaseless effort not to ridicule, not to bewail, not to scorn human actions, but to understand them.
502
Scars are a truly beautiful thing. Yes, they can be a little ugly on the outside, but scars show that you’re a survivor, that you made it through something, and not only did you make it through, but now you’re stronger and wiser and more educated because of that tough time that you went through.
503
To say, ‘well done‘ to any bit of good work is to take hold of the powers which have made the effort and strengthen them beyond our knowledge.
504
No one warns young people to follow Adam‘s example. He waited till God saw his need. Then God made Adam sleep, prepared for his mate, and brought her to him. We need more of this ‘being asleep‘ in the will of God.
505
Beautiful film music can be made relevant to any period.
506
My upbringing in Canada made me the person I am. I will always be proud to be a Canadian.
507
Anything is good if it’s made of chocolate.
508
I’m not interested in my legacy. I made up a word: ‘live-acy.’ I’m more interested in living.
509
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.
510
The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That’s the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!
511
Rules are made for people who aren’t willing to make up their own.
Chuck Yeager
512
Jay-Z is as politically correct as some of the politicians. He’s safe. There’s points when you’re acquiring financing, you make adjustments. He’s made those adjustments. It’s his choice. For me, it’s not a necessity.
513
Nothing that God ever made is the same thing to more than one person. That is natural.
514
I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.
515
We had a severely autistic kid in my class, and I was always picked last in gym class, even after him. Naturally, that made me feel pretty bad as an eight-year-old.
516
Ambition should be made of sterner stuff.
517
Each life is made up of mistakes and learning, waiting and growing, practicing patience and being persistent.
518
I believe in Karma. If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well.
Yannick Noah
519
Me and my sister made up a game called ‘Milky Cow‘. We were on holiday in France when I was 12, and there was a kid who had bovine features, and every time we went past her, we’d say, ‘There’s Milky Cow’.
520
I was proud of the waves I had made, but wondered how many boats I was supposed to rock.
521
Dinner was made for eating, not for talking.
522
Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.
523
Courage, sacrifice, determination, commitment, toughness, heart, talent, guts. That’s what little girls are made of.
524
I think a failed state is the responsibility of the people who have made that state fail, and those are generally the people of that country.
525
Men are born ignorant, not stupid. They are made stupid by education.
526
President Trump has made no secret of his disdain for NATO and his willingness to consider leaving it.
527
My passions were all gathered together like fingers that made a fist. Drive is considered aggression today; I knew it then as purpose.
528
Everyone has the brainpower to follow the stock market. If you made it through fifth-grade math, you can do it.
Peter Lynch
529
We can’t change the past but we can learn from history and remember the important things – the sacrifices our loved ones made, and the price of our freedom today.
530
I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I’m actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they, in turn, were my life lessons.
531
He has the deed half done who has made a beginning.
532
Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men.
533
I did not just fall in love. I made a parachute jump.
534
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
535
I’m a strong believer in the fact that women are born to multi-task. God has made us like that.
536
God only made one thing in this world that’s perfect – and that’s my boxing record.
537
I believe any success in life is made by going into an area with a blind, furious optimism.
538
They made us many promises, more than I can remember, but they never kept but one; they promised to take our land, and they took it.
Red Cloud
539
We must wake up to the insane reality of our time. We are all irresponsible, unless we demand from the responsible decision makers that modern armaments must no longer be made available to people whose former battle axes and swords our ancestors condemned.
540
Climbing Mount Everest was the biggest mistake I’ve ever made in my life. I wish I’d never gone. I suffered for years of PTSD and still suffer from what happened. I’m glad I wrote a book about it. But, you know, if I could go back and relive my life, I would never have climbed Everest.
541
Christ’s flock is made up of sheep that not only listen to their shepherd, but are also able to recognize his voice, to follow him, faithfully and with full awareness, on the pastures of eternal life.
Pope John XXIII
542
Culture is not made up but something that evolves which is human.
Edward T. Hall
543
Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?
Thomas J. Watson
544
It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we’ve made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be.
545
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
546
We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
547
You can’t connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something – your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
548
I understand that I’m not perfect. I made mistakes and I had a hand in everything that’s happened to me, good and bad.
549
Records are made to be broken.
Terry Vaughn
550
The voice I use is a very old hardware speech synthesizer made in 1986. I keep it because I have not heard a voice I like better and because I have identified with it.
551
Baseball was made for kids, and grown-ups only screw it up.
Bob Lemon

Everything we call real is made of things that cannot be regarded as real.
Niels Bohr
553
In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord’s vengeance, I myself don’t like it.
Robert Gould Shaw
554
If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man, he would have made me so in the first place.
555
Wherever there are rock ‘n’ rollers, we’ll play. That’s what we’ve been doing for more than 30 years – rock ‘n’ roll. It’s made me everything from an honorary mayor to honorary member of a motorcycle gang.
Ronnie Hawkins
556
The streets made me. They stay at me. There’s nothing that’s gonna take away from my legacy. I’m sorry. It is what it is. I’m dying this way. With the crown on my head, nobody can take nothing away from me. It is what it is. I am who I am. Bottom line.
557
I cannot, or will not, take the freedoms this country offers for granted. But these freedoms have come with a price so many times. The sacrifices made by our veterans are reminders to us of this.
558
I found that dance, music, and literature is how I made sense of the world… it pushed me to think of things bigger than life’s daily routines… to think beyond what is immediate or convenient.
559
The one thing you learn is when you can step out of your comfort zone and be uncomfortable, you see what you’re made of and who you are.
560
If there hadn’t been women we’d still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.
561
It is a maxim among these lawyers, that whatever hath been done before, may legally be done again: and therefore they take special care to record all the decisions formerly made against common justice and the general reason of mankind.
562
Most achievers I know are people who have made a strong and deep dedication to pursuing a particular goal. That dedication took a tremendous amount of effort.
563
I have a dream that one day every valley shall be exalted, every hill and mountain shall be made low, the rough places will be made straight and the glory of the Lord shall be revealed and all flesh shall see it together.
564
There isn’t a day that goes by that I don’t think about the paratroopers I served with who made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedoms.
565
Gratitude is a burden, and every burden is made to be shaken off.
566
We are made to know and love God.
Nicolas Malebranche
567
The immoral cannot be made moral through the use of secret law.
568
I thank every bully I ever had because that’s the only reason I’m here. I learned how to not be affected by it and triumph over it, and that made me – again, if I had any success whatsoever, it’s because these people made fun of me.
569
YouTube has made a lot of changes to support time on site – a statistic they care about. But subscriber support is lacking.
570
Hope cannot be said to exist, nor can it be said not to exist. It is just like roads across the earth. For actually the earth had no roads to begin with, but when many men pass one way, a road is made.
Lu Xun
571
A self-fulfilling prophecy is an assumption or prediction that, purely as a result of having been made, cause the expected or predicted event to occur and thus confirms its own ‘accuracy.’
Paul Watzlawick
572
People worry that gas prices are high and how they are affecting their pocket book. But they want to know about renewable energy. People are really starting to question things, and that’s made people look to the future in a positive way.
573
Good fiction is made of that which is real, and reality is difficult to come by.
Ralph Ellison
574
I have made many decisions that I probably shouldn’t have made, but life is about making mistakes, learning and moving on.
575
I’ve had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict.
576
Trials teach us what we are; they dig up the soil, and let us see what we are made of.
577
I wouldn’t change anything. I’ve made mistakes, but thanks to those mistakes, I’ve learned.
578
The body of a beautiful woman is not made for love; it is too exquisite.
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec
579
Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
580
Hollywood never knew there was a Vietnam War until they made the movie.
Jerry Stiller
581
For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we are grateful that such men and women were among us. For those who continue to serve, we honor their commitment. For those who return to civilian life, we honor their service.
582
If God made anything better than women, I think he kept it for himself.
583
A stair not worn hollow by footsteps is, regarded from its own point of view, only a boring something made of wood.
584
We made too many wrong mistakes.
585
