Your spoken voice is a part of it – not a big part of it, but it’s something. It puts people at ease, and once again kind of reaches out and makes a bridge for what’s otherwise difficult music.
218
The man with a toothache thinks everyone happy whose teeth are sound. The poverty-stricken man makes the same mistake about the rich man.
219
So a good teacher always makes you do something a little bit more than you thought that you could do.
220
It is surmounting difficulties that makes heroes.
Louis Pasteur
221
The knowledge that makes us cherish innocence makes innocence unattainable.
Irving Howe
222
Control is not real, and I’m really understanding that every day. It’s about the acceptance of relinquishing control that makes it powerful for you.
223
A good scientist is a person with original ideas. A good engineer is a person who makes a design that works with as few original ideas as possible. There are no prima donnas in engineering.
224
Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.
225
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
226
The fact that apartheid has been tied up with white supremacy, capitalist exploitation, and deliberate oppression makes the problem much more complex. Material want is bad enough, but coupled with spiritual poverty, it kills.
227
Art is what defines us, what makes us human.
Jan Vogler
228
We learn from each other. We learn from others’ mistakes, from their experience, their wisdom. It makes it easier for us to come to better decisions in our own lives.
229
The value of biodiversity is that it makes our ecosystems more resilient, which is a prerequisite for stable societies; its wanton destruction is akin to setting fire to our lifeboat.
230
What makes something special is not just what you have to gain, but what you feel there is to lose.
231
Irrelevance is the feeling that an employee gets when they don’t see how their job really makes a difference in someone else’s life in some large or small way.
232
A little bit of mercy makes the world less cold and more just.
233
All I know is what the words know, and dead things, and that makes a handsome little sum, with a beginning and a middle and an end, as in the well-built phrase and the long sonata of the dead.
234
Even on casual days, wear at least one thing that makes you happy.
235
It’s lack of faith that makes people afraid of meeting challenges, and I believed in myself.
236
Sure I do a lot of jokes about Anne Frank. But when you do those jokes, it makes people remember what happened to her. That process of bringing her story back doesn’t have to be a serious one. What I say is all nonsense, but it helps to keep her memory alive.
237
An oligarchy of race, where the Saxon rules the African, might be endured; but this oligarchy of sex which makes father, brothers, husband, sons, the oligarchs over the mother and sisters, the wife and daughters of every householdcarries discord and rebellion into every home of the nation.
238
Fashion has always been a repetition of ideas, but what makes it new is the way you put it together.
239
Hunger makes a thief of any man.
240
I believe doctors and scientists who say that disruption of our immune system by negative energy makes you prone to diseases of which cancer is one. That is a medical fact.
241
Individual commitment to a group effort – that is what makes a team work, a company work, a society work, a civilization work.
242
I like to sing ballads the way Eddie Fisher does and the way Perry Como does. But the way I’m singing now is what makes the money.
243
The questions I’m asking myself are, ‘What makes me happy? Where do I want to be? What will make me happy at 50, 60 and 70?’
244
Nationalism makes us weak because its eternal seeking of enemies, its disdain of others, its need to feel superior makes cooperation with other nations to collectively guarantee our freedom and security much more difficult.
245
No matter how good you are, you’re going to lose one-third of your games. No matter how bad you are, you’re going to win one-third of your games. It’s the other third that makes the difference.
246
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.
247
I would enjoy sitting in a rockerlistening to soft music and contemplating the things of the universe. But such activity offers no challenge and makes no contribution.
248
The family is the test of freedom; because the family is the only thing that the free man makes for himself and by himself.
249
There is a certain enthusiasm in liberty, that makes human nature rise above itself, in acts of bravery and heroism.
250
PowerPoint makes us stupid.
251
The personality of the wearer and the hat makes the hat.
252
Drawing makes you see things clearer, and clearer and clearer still, until your eyes ache.
253
Success isn’t everything but it makes a man stand straight.
Lillian Hellman
254
Something opens our wings. Something makes boredom and hurt disappear. Someone fills the cup in front of us: We taste only sacredness.
255
Oh, ‘tis love, ’tis love that makes the world go round.
256
Wonder Woman is a fighter, better than most, but it’s what she fights for that is important. It’s her vision of a future of peace and acceptance that makes her the right ambassador for everyone.
257
Everybody makes mistakes, but when goalkeepers make them, it is costly. That’s the nature of being a goalkeeper.
Gary Speed
258
Some people say that I have an attitude- Maybe I do. But I think that you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does- that makes you a winner right there.
259
I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.
260
My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that – building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.
261
No matter what happens on the field, getting an education makes you a winner.
262
Seeing my parents makes me realise that life is not a fairy tale.
Mollie King
263
Sometimes I sit down and I think ‘Do I regret this? Do I regret that?’ And I feel like everything makes this snowball effect, you know? If you regret something, it’s good because it just means that it’s something that’s affected you enough for you to stop and think… There’s a reason that everything happens.
264
It is the heart that makes a man rich. He is rich according to what he is, not according to what he has.
265
The technology keeps moving forward, which makes it easier for the artists to tell their stories and paint the pictures they want.
266
Confidence is everything. Confidence is what makes that simple white tee and jeans look good.
267
Everyone has days when things can go wrong. That doesn’t make you a bad pastry chef – that makes you human.
268
I’m five feet tall – I’m very petite – so for me, if I’m wearing a skirt or dress, it needs to be short, or else it makes me look frumpy. I need to wear either something really short or a maxi dress; anything in between just looks weird.
269
Look up at the stars and not down at your feet. Try to make sense of what you see, and wonder about what makes the universe exist. Be curious.
270
I pray to God every day that he makes me the biggest superstar, but before that, I ask God to make me a good actor. Being a star is hard, but being an actor is even harder. I want to be both before I am done.
271
Singing is kind of like stress relief and everything just kind of makes sense when I’m doing this.
272
Practice does not make perfect. Only perfect practice makes perfect.
273
What we learn only through the ears makes less impression upon our minds than what is presented to the trustworthy eye.
274
275
If you’re funny, if there’s something that makes you laugh, then every day’s going to be okay.
276
It is not always what we know or analyzed before we make a decision that makes it a great decision. It is what we do after we make the decision to implement and execute it that makes it a good decision.
William Pollard
277
A nation which makes the final sacrifice for life and freedom does not get beaten.
278
Grace, like an angel of mercy, makes his voice heard sweet and clear, repeating the story of the cross, the matchless love of Jesus.
279
If someone says something hurtful to you or makes you feel down on yourself, then you just gotta stay positive and keep moving forward because they might not know much about you, or they may not understand the situation.
280
My dad is always there for me, and no matter how busy, he always makes it a point to answer my calls. I think he knows what is best for me better than me and is very involved in planning my career. Feel blessed to have a dad like him.
281
Living is more a question of what one spends than what one makes.
282
My hair color is super important to my look because I feel like it helps kind of define who I am. It’s like a characteristic of mine that makes me feel comfortable and different from the rest.
283
All punk is is attitude. That’s what makes it. The attitude.
Joey Ramone
284
To see the ball, to run after it, makes me the happiest man in the world.
285
Eliminating the things you love is not wellness. Wellness feeds your soul and makes you feel good.
286
The truth is cruel, but it can be loved, and it makes free those who have loved it.
287
Laughter heals all wounds, and that’s one thing that everybody shares. No matter what you’re going through, it makes you forget about your problems. I think the world should keep laughing.
288
Fear is better than apathy because fear makes us do something.
Emiliano Salinas
289
A great figure or physique is nice, but it’s self-confidence that makes someone really sexy.
290
It is better to be high-spirited even though one makes more mistakes, than to be narrow-minded and all too prudent.
291
Human love has little regard for the truth. It makes the truth relative, since nothing, not even the truth, must come between it and the beloved person.
Dietrich Bonhoeffer
292
You can’t stay mad at somebody who makes you laugh.
293
Memory is a great artist. For every man and for every woman it makes the recollection of his or her life a work of art and an unfaithful record.
294
You can tell the size of a man by the size of the thing that makes him mad.
295
Self-interest makes some people blind, and others sharp-sighted.
296
There’s nothing, today, that excites me, or that makes me think I would like to be back in AFL circles. I have no interest. No interest whatsoever. My love for the game died inside of me in those final years of me playing.
297
A ruffled mind makes a restless pillow.
298
Relish everything that’s inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.
299
A ruler makes use of the majority and neglects the minority, and so he does not devote himself to virtue but to law.
300
The return makes one love the farewell.
Alfred de Musset
301
Listening is a magnetic and strange thing, a creative force. The friends who listen to us are the ones we move toward. When we are listened to, it creates us, makes us unfold and expand.
Karl A. Menninger
302
Reading makes me so sleepy. Honestly, I’m a visual learner.
303
It is not a lack of love, but a lack of friendship that makes unhappy marriages.
304
The best liar is he who makes the smallest amount of lying go the longest way.
305
My family comes first. Maybe that’s what makes me different from other guys.
306
I think what makes people fascinating is conflict, it’s drama, it’s the human condition. Nobody wants to watch perfection.
307
Nothing makes us so lonely as our secrets.
Paul Tournier
308
What you don’t want is for violence and gore to become more important than character and structure. A lot of slasher movies from the eighties were only focused on violence and gore, which robs the human beings in the story of any empathetic reaction from the audience, and instead makes them cheer for the gore.
309
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
310
There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen.
311
If you can learn to love yourself and all the flaws, you can love other people so much better. And that makes you so happy.
312
The nicknames – people say they couldn’t understand it, but look, I have really enjoyed my time away from 3AW, and I have discovered one thing – that I am more than just a yelling fanatical football follower who makes up nicknames.
313
A great restaurant is one that just makes you feel like you’re not sure whether you went out or you came home and confuses you. If it can do both of those things at the same time, you’re hooked.
314
America makes prodigious mistakes, America has colossal faults, but one thing cannot be denied: America is always on the move. She may be going to Hell, of course, but at least she isn’t standing still.
e. e. cummings
315
In rallying every curve, every hill may be different than you thought. That makes it interesting.
Kimi Raikkonen
316
True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things.
317
Prosperity makes friends, adversity tries them.
318
The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing.
Aleister Crowley
319
Keep going and keep believing and do what makes you feel good. And when you feel good and get to the point where no-one can take that from you, then that feeling will the best feeling.
NikkieTutorials
320
It is a poor sermon that gives no offense; that neither makes the hearer displeased with himself nor with the preacher.
321
The mint makes it first, it is up to you to make it last.
Evan Esar
322
It is the accuracy and detail inherent in crafted goods that endows them with lasting value. It is the time and attention paid by the carpenter, the seamstress and the tailor that makes this detail possible.
323
There is nothing either good or bad but thinking makes it so.
324
Hope is the only bee that makes honey without flowers.
325
Appreciation is a wonderful thing: It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well.
326
The darkness of clubs makes me feel much more secure, and you can hide behind smoke and lights.
327
I believe you only have one chance on this earth, and I’m just trying to live my life and do what makes me happy.
328
A woman would never make a nuclear bomb. They would never make a weapon that kills – no, no. They’d make a weapon that makes you feel bad for a while.
329
The beauty of any conspiracy theory is that because it can’t be proved, that just makes it more ‘real.’ It’s not a question of believing or not believing, really; it’s more a question of just accepting a series of probabilities that lead to an undeniable conclusion.
Dean Haglund
330
I do Thai boxing Mondays, jujitsu Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Wednesdays I do boxing with Mark – he was a world champion at one point. I absolutely love it. I actually have a punching bag outside in my garden. I’m obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig, so it kind of makes up for that.
331
One day I decided that I was beautiful, and so I carried out my life as if I was a beautiful girl. I wear colors that I really like, I wear makeup that makes me feel pretty, and it really helps. It doesn’t have anything to do with how the world perceives you. What matters is what you see.
332
An important scientific innovation rarely makes its way by gradually winning over and converting its opponents: What does happen is that the opponents gradually die out.
Max Planck
333
Pain makes man think. Thought makes man wise. Wisdom makes life endurable.
John Patrick
334
The good woman, who makes all the sacrifices is always the one with long hair.
335
We are at our very best, and we are happiest, when we are fully engaged in work we enjoy on the journey toward the goal we’ve established for ourselves. It gives meaning to our time off and comfort to our sleep. It makes everything else in life so wonderful, so worthwhile.
336
Contrast is what makes photography interesting.
337
Civilization is what makes you sick.
Paul Gauguin
338
People who have tried it, tell me that a clear conscience makes you very happy and contented; but a full stomach does the business quite as well, and is cheaper, and more easily obtained.
Jerome K. Jerome
339
I think that always makes it fun, trying to create a heroic character and putting your own twist on it and injecting your own personality into it.
340
We’ve been merging with tools since the beginning of human evolution, and arguably, that’s one of the things that makes us human beings.
341
A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend. A successful woman is one who can find such a man.
Lana Turner
342
We need to reject any politics that targets people because of race or religion. This isn’t a matter of political correctness. It’s a matter of understanding what makes us strong. The world respects us not just for our arsenal; it respects us for our diversity and our openness and the way we respect every faith.
343
Some people think having large breasts makes a woman stupid. Actually, it’s quite the opposite: a woman having large breasts makes men stupid.
344
Free enterprise makes people prosperous, all people prosperous, and big government makes people poorer.
345
Truth that is not undergirded by love makes the truth obnoxious and the possessor of it repulsive.
346
Standing up for what you believe in, to me, is freedom of speech. And that’s a right that every American citizen has and what makes this country great.
347
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.
348
The person who comes up to you and makes the most noise and is the most intrusive is invariably the person in the room who has no respect for you at all, and it’s really all about them.
349
Fear makes strangers of people who would be friends.
350
The only thing that makes life possible is permanent, intolerable uncertainty; not knowing what comes next.
351
What makes old age so sad is not that our joys but our hopes cease.
352
Dancing’s part of my soul. I enjoy it, it makes people happy, and it makes me happy.
353
I am blessed with a funny gene that makes me enjoy life.
354
It is the cause, not the death, that makes the martyr.
355
My parents have always encouraged me to follow my dreams and do what makes me happy.
356
Inductive reason, which alone makes man master of his environment, is an achievement; and when once born it must be reinforced by inhibiting the growth of other modes of knowledge.
357
There is in me an anarchy and frightful disorder. Creating makes me die a thousand deaths, because it means making order, and my entire being rebels against order. But without it I would die, scattered to the winds.
358
Time makes fools of us all. Our only comfort is that greater shall come after us.
E. T. Bell
359
God creates out of nothing. Wonderful you say. Yes, to be sure, but he does what is still more wonderful: he makes saints out of sinners.
360
I’m a happy man, because I am successful in what I do, of course; but what makes me most happy is I have people around me that I love and who love me back. This, for me, is the most important thing. Nobody likes to be alone.
361
Some people say I have attitude – maybe I do… but I think you have to. You have to believe in yourself when no one else does – that makes you a winner right there.
362
When you are full of pride on the inside, it makes you stiff, stubborn, and creates strife with others.
363
Happiness is mostly a by-product of doing what makes us feel fulfilled.
364
Never delay a prompting. When you honor a prompting and then stand back a pace, you realize that the Lord gave you the prompting. It makes me feel good that the Lord even knows who I am and knows me well enough to know that if He has an errand to be run, and He prompts me to run the errand, the errand will get done.
365
Content makes poor men rich; discontent makes rich men poor.
366
What makes the desert beautiful is that somewhere it hides a well.
367
There is a charm about the forbidden that makes it unspeakably desirable.
368
I believe there’s an inner power that makes winners or losers. And the winners are the ones who really listen to the truth of their hearts.
369
A business that makes nothing but money is a poor business.
370
Let us be about setting high standards for life, love, creativity, and wisdom. If our expectations in these areas are low, we are not likely to experience wellness. Setting high standards makes every day and every decade worth looking forward to.
Greg Anderson
371
As long as you have discipline, you can be a success. Discipline is what makes you do everything you need to do.
372
Good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. I always tried to make my home like my mother’s, because Mom was magnificent at stretching a buck when it came to decorating and food. Like a true Italian, she valued beautification in every area of her life, and I try to do the same.
373
That’s what makes Linux so good: you put in something, and that effort multiplies. It’s a positive feedback cycle.
374
Emotional honesty transcends reality; it’s what allows disbelief to be suspended and yet what makes a story stay true.
375
Being the first to cross the finish line makes you a winner in only one phase of life. It’s what you do after you cross the line that really counts.
Ralph Boston
376
Opportunity makes a thief.
377
The same ambition can destroy or save, and make a patriot as it makes a knave.

I know what makes me good, and it’s not a bat.
379
Poverty makes you sad as well as wise.
380
In a competition, there’s always winners and losers. And I think everyone is here to win, which makes it fun for us all.
381
God is a thought who makes crooked all that is straight.
382
The word ‘God’ usually signifies ‘Lord’, but every lord is not a God. It is the dominion of a spiritual being which constitutes a God: a true, supreme, or imaginary dominion makes a true, supreme, or imaginary God.
383
Tea makes everything better.
384
All honest work is good work; it is capable of leading to self-development, provided the doer seeks to discover the inherent lessons and makes the most of the potentialities for such growth.
385
Football is football and talent is talent. But the mindset of your team makes all the difference.
386
Self-suggestion makes you master of yourself.
387
It makes me feel wonderful that people still care for me… that I have so many fans among young people, who write to me and tell me I have been an inspiration.
Bettie Page
388
The last three or four reps is what makes the muscle grow. This area of pain divides the champion from someone else who is not a champion. That’s what most people lack, having the guts to go on and just say they’ll go through the pain no matter what happens.
389
The thing about a band is, it’s not so much how good the musicians are – it’s the blend of personalities and characters. It’s the human chemistry that makes up a good team.
390
I still drink vodka; I’m not an advocate of drinking, but I’m no angel. I don’t like grass, because it just makes me hungry.
391
My philosophy is it’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.
392
The lover of life makes the whole world into his family, just as the lover of the fair sex creates his from all the lovely women he has found, from those that could be found, and those who are impossible to find.
393
Living alone makes it harder to find someone to blame.
394
Naturally, when one makes progressive steps, there may be some who see it as a betrayal of their goals and interests.
395
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
396
To receive this award from an organization I admire so much makes me totally happy and grateful.
James Welch

My favorite food is macaroni and cheese that my grandma makes. My favorite drink has to be Vita Coco coconut water.
Sloane Stephens
398
Charm is the quality in others, that makes us more satisfied with ourselves.
399
Public broadcasting makes our nation smarter, stronger and, yes, safer.
400
American life is based on a reassurance that we like one another but won’t violate one another’s privacies. This makes it a land of small talk.
401
Money is not the only answer, but it makes a difference.
402
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
403
Faced with crisis, the man of character falls back on himself. He imposes his own stamp of action, takes responsibility for it, makes it his own.
404
Art makes us feel less alone. It makes us think: somebody else has thought this, somebody else has had these feelings.
405
In software systems it is often the early bird that makes the worm.
Alan Perlis
406
It’s the teacher that makes the difference, not the classroom.
407
Some weeks, I’m super-duper busy, so I can only fit cardio in here and there, a lot of stuff happens in the afternoon, so I can get up and have a workout, which makes me feel awesome for the rest of my day. There’s just something sexy about feeling strong. And every night I’m onstage, I get another workout.
408
409
The figure a poem makes. It begins in delight and ends in wisdom… in a clarification of life – not necessarily a great clarification, such as sects and cults are founded on, but in a momentary stay against confusion.
410
I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings.
411
A man wrapped up in himself makes a very small bundle.
412
I don’t think that people accept the fact that life doesn’t make sense. I think it makes people terribly uncomfortable. It seems like religion and myth were invented against that, trying to make sense out of it.
413
The closest synonym of happiness is excitement, and you can generate it by doing something that you can’t completely comprehend. This understanding makes the process rich and exciting.
414
My peers, lately, have found companionship through means of intoxication – it makes them sociable. I, however, cannot force myself to use drugs to cheat on my loneliness – it is all that I have – and when the drugs and alcohol dissipate, will be all that my peers have as well.
415
We ought to do good to others as simply as a horse runs, or a bee makes honey, or a vine bears grapes season after season without thinking of the grapes it has borne.
416
You don’t face Nolan Ryan without your rest. He’s the only guy I go against that makes me go to bed before midnight.
417
My definition of love is being full. Complete. It makes everything lighter. Beauty is something you see. Love is something you feel.
Sharon Tate
418
Monetary success is not success. Career success is not success. Life, someone that loves you, giving to others, doing something that makes you feel complete and full. That is success. And it isn’t dependent on anyone else.
James Avery
419
Creating a strong company culture isn’t just good business. It’s the right thing to do, and it makes your company better for all stakeholdersemployees, management, and customers.
420
Prohibition makes you want to cry into your beer and denies you the beer to cry into.
421
It is only by risking our persons from one hour to another that we live at all. And often enough our faith beforehand in an uncertified result is the only thing that makes the result come true.
422
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I’m no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
423
A mind all logic is like a knife all blade. It makes the hand bleed that uses it.
424
Man is an animal that makes bargains: no other animal does this – no dog exchanges bones with another.
425
Life is a series of experiences, each one of which makes us bigger, even though sometimes it is hard to realize this. For the world was built to develop character, and we must learn that the setbacks and grieves which we endure help us in our marching onward.
426
Every experience makes you grow.
427
Sustainability makes good business sense, and we’re all on the same team at the end of the day. That’s the truth about the human condition.
428
I can only go places because I know that I can go away from them, if that makes sense. I like the gypsy lifestyle that filming affords.
429
I think ABBA have a pure joy to their music and that’s what makes them extraordinary.
430
My thing is you’re only as good as the people you work with. I’ve been blessed to work with the Wayanses and Eddie Murphy and Adam Sandler and Chris Rock, and it makes you better.
431
I make up my opinions from facts and reasoning, and not to suit any body but myself. If people don’t like my opinions, it makes little difference as I don’t solicit their opinions or votes.
432
It’s not what you do once in a while, it’s what you do day in and day out that makes the difference.
Jenny Craig
433
It’s okay to lose. Losing teaches you something. Having to try and going through the trials and tribulations to actually overcome, to get there to win, to triumph, that’s what makes life interesting.
434
Everyone loves fried chicken, Don’t ever make it. Ever. Buy it from a place that makes good fried chicken.

Beauty, more than bitterness, makes the heart break.
Sara Teasdale
436
It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
437
Fatigue makes fools of us all. It robs you of your skills and your judgment, and it blinds you to creative solutions. It’s the best-conditioned athlete, not the most talented, who generally wins when the going gets tough.
438
Yes, exercise is the catalyst. That’s what makes everything happen: your digestion, your elimination, your sex life, your skin, hair, everything about you depends on circulation. And how do you increase circulation?
439
Spending too much time focused on others’ strengths leaves us feeling weak. Focusing on our own strengths is what, in fact, makes us strong.
440
I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day.
441
Overcoming adversity not only makes you stronger, it makes you more hopeful.
442
Gender is not an easy conversation to have. It makes people uncomfortable, sometimes even irritable. Both men and women are resistant to talk about gender or are quick to dismiss the problems of gender. Because thinking of changing the status quo is always uncomfortable.
443
It’s not what you’ve got, it’s what you use that makes a difference.
444
A well adjusted person is one who makes the same mistake twice without getting nervous.

A shooter takes shots, a shotter makes shots.
449
A good mustache makes a man for many reasons.
450
I’m much more confident with crypto than with banks or fiat currency because I can actually control it, and the money supply is transparent, stated up front. It makes online shopping a lot easier and a lot safer.
451
Self-reflection is so healthy. Journaling works for me – when I record the details of what I’m going through, whether it’s a relationship issue or negative thoughts, I can look back and see how far I’ve come. It makes me proud to see my progress and how I got through a bad situation.
452
Jealousy is, I think, the worst of all faults because it makes a victim of both parties.
453
The way that people dress makes them part of an army, dressed in their own uniform, determined to do something.
454
Falling in love is terrible. It makes you act foolish, like an idiot.
455
There is no force like success, and that is why the individual makes all effort to surround himself throughout life with the evidence of it; as of the individual, so should it be of the nation.
456
I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman.
457
Action makes more fortune than caution.
Charlotte Whitton
458
Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn’t organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals.
459
Language is the most extraordinary invention in the history of humanity, the one which came before everything and which makes it possible to share everything.
J. M. G. Le Clezio
460
Indeed, wretched the man whose fame makes his misfortunes famous.
Lucius Accius
461
People are different from one another. That’s what makes the world good. That’s what makes the world great.
462
What makes a leader great is not the fact that she (or he) has all the answers, but the ability to inspire and empower us to find the answers.
463
To this day, nothing makes me happier than finding a TV show I really love.
Shawn Ryan
464
School is practice for the future, and practice makes perfect and nobody’s perfect so why bother.
Tre Cool

Unless you love someone, nothing else makes any sense.
e. e. cummings
466
God is cruel. Sometimes he makes you live.
467
Edinburgh is good craic. A romantic and beautiful city, it’s one those places that makes me smile when I think about it – there are other places I would never dare go back to, but Edinburgh is very special.
468
It is probably not love that makes the world go around, but rather those mutually supportive alliances through which partners recognize their dependence on each other for the achievement of shared and private goals.
469
Is it sin, which makes the worm a chrysalis, and the chrysalis a butterfly, and the butterfly dust?
470
Many young people don’t know what Versace represent. I want to show what makes Versace an iconic brand.
471
Only he is successful in his business who makes that pursuit which affords him the highest pleasure sustain him.
472
Pride makes us artificial and humility makes us real.
473
Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.
474
When one puts up a building one makes an elaborate scaffold to get everything into its proper place. But when one takes the scaffold down, the building must stand by itself with no trace of the means by which it was erected. That is how a musician should work.
Andres Segovia
475
Having a second chance makes you want to work even harder.
476
A good fragrance should have a certain personality that makes people identify the scent with you.
477
Covid makes the job harder. But it is what it is and we have to get on with it.

Football is a game of mistakes. Whoever makes the fewest mistakes wins.
481
Most people say that it is the intellect which makes a great scientist. They are wrong: it is character.
482
The phoebe-bird is a wise architect and perhaps enjoys as great an immunity from danger, both in its person and its nest, as any other bird. Its modest ashen-gray suit is the color of the rocks where it builds, and the moss of which it makes such free use gives to its nest the look of a natural growth or accretion.
483
If you help elect more gay people, that gives a green light to all who feel disenfranchised, a green light to move forward. It means hope to a nation that has given up, because if a gay person makes it, the doors are open to everyone.
Harvey Milk
484
A good villain exudes charisma and power. He has principles, though; that just gives him a level of dimension. It makes him seem to be a bit unpredictable, because he’s usually deemed as some type of evil, ruthless person, and then he shows you his principles, and you don’t know what to think of it.
485
Pro wrestling is not fake; it’s sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we’re not going to insult anyone’s intelligence – there is a predetermined winner. It’s just the fans don’t know who it is, and that’s what makes it so intriguing.
486
Everybody has their ups and downs, and that’s what makes you tougher.
487
I spend time doing cardio because it makes me feel good.
488
My friend has a baby. I’m recording all the noises he makes so later I can ask him what he meant.
489
Justifying conscription to promote the cause of liberty is one of the most bizarre notions ever conceived by man! Forced servitude, with the risk of death and serious injury as a price to live free, makes no sense.
490
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
491
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.’
492
A wide screen just makes a bad film twice as bad.
493
If it wasn’t hard, everyone would do it. It’s the hard that makes it great.
494
The unread story is not a story; it is little black marks on wood pulp. The reader, reading it, makes it live: a live thing, a story.
495
You take every opportunity you have to win a trophy. That is always the goal, and winning makes it a little bit easier the next time.
496
Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic.
497
The book to read is not the one which thinks for you, but the one which makes you think. No book in the world equals the Bible for that.
Harper Lee
498
Everybody has 24 hours and the question is, what do you do with your 24 hours? That’s what makes everybody equal.
Stedman Graham
499
Cultivate the habit of zest. Purposefully seek out the beauty in the seemingly trivial. Especially in the trivial. The colors and shapes of the foods you eat. The shadows a vase makes on your table. The interesting faces of the people on the bus with you.
500
It is not wisdom but Authority that makes a law.
501
Sometimes idealism and all that make believe makes the world a better place.
Sung Kang
502
The darkness of death is like the evening twilight; it makes all objects appear more lovely to the dying.
503
Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.
Ludwig Borne
504
Writing music on your own makes you think a lot about your life. Who are you? Would you change anything about yourself? This is where it comes from.
505
It makes sense that a witch lives in a swamp.
506
Going to church doesn’t make you a Christian any more than going to a garage makes you an automobile.
507
A thug is someone who stands on his own. He lives by the decisions he makes and accepts the consequences. A thug is comfortable in his own skin. I wear mine like a glove.
Trick Daddy
508
Android is one of the most open systems I’ve ever seen. What makes Android great is it’s literally designed from the ground up to be customised in a very powerful way.
509
We believe our diversity makes us stronger, smarter, and more innovative, helping us better serve the needs of our clients, our people, and our communities.
510
What makes a child gifted and talented may not always be good grades in school, but a different way of looking at the world and learning.
511
Nature has no principles. She makes no distinction between good and evil.
512
The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days.
513
Veterans are a symbol of what makes our nation great, and we must never forget all they have done to ensure our freedom.
514
We can never run away from our past. The past will catch up to us because it is us. It is a part of us; it’s what makes us we are. It’s what delineates the borders of our societies.
515
I’ve been told that having an Instagram account will help me book more roles, get more endorsement deals. It makes you more of a brand. But I’m not interested. I want to build my fan base through movies and movies alone.
516
Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine! Softball is amazing that way as a sport. Everyone on the field has a slightly different ability that makes them perfect for their position.
517
The patriot volunteer, fighting for country and his rights, makes the most reliable soldier on earth.
Stonewall Jackson
518
Love is friendship that has caught fire. It is quiet understanding, mutual confidence, sharing and forgiving. It is loyalty through good and bad times. It settles for less than perfection and makes allowances for human weaknesses.
519
I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.
520
What makes us human, I think, is an ability to ask questions, a consequence of our sophisticated spoken language.
521
My share of the work may be limited, but the fact that it is work makes it precious.
522
Failure happens all the time. It happens every day in practice. What makes you better is how you react to it.
523
If you hear a good song, it makes you hopeful like, ‘That is out there.’
Jazmine Sullivan
524
It’s not even about looking good; it’s about feeling good inside. Celebrity Sweat makes everyone aware of that but in a fun way with their favorite athletes.
525
In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.
526
One does not establish a dictatorship in order to safeguard a revolution; one makes a revolution in order to establish a dictatorship.
527
I believe that we all have a responsibility to give back. No one becomes successful without lots of hard work, support from others, and a little luck. Giving back creates a virtuous cycle that makes everyone more successful.
528
A great restaurant doesn’t distinguish itself by how few mistakes it makes but by how well they handle those mistakes.
529
Biology is the least of what makes someone a mother.
530
Unrestrained liberalism only makes the strong stronger and the weak weaker and excludes the most excluded.
531
Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference.
532
The more you like yourself, the less you are like anyone else, which makes you unique.
533
The worst wheel of the cart makes the most noise.
534
I’ve tried my hardest to bribe my chef, but my team have been clever and hired someone who not only is not bribeable but who chases me round the house and makes sure I eat what he’s cooked, and he lays out my vitamin pills and supplements in front of me so I can’t ‘forget’ to take them.
535
Different is good, and being different is what makes us stand out in the world.
536
Nothing makes you more tolerant of a neighbor’s noisy party than being there.
Franklin P. Jones
537
For an author to write as he speaks is just as reprehensible as the opposite fault, to speak as he writes; for this gives a pedantic effect to what he says, and at the same time makes him hardly intelligible.
538
The anvil of justice is planted firm, and fate who makes the sword does the forging in advance.
539
The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does. No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.
Daisy Bates
540
Everyone takes surveys. Whoever makes a statement about human behavior has engaged in a survey of some sort.
541
Words make you think a thought. Music makes you feel a feeling. A song makes you feel a thought.
E. Y. Harburg
542
Man’s inhumanity to man makes countless thousands mourn!
Robert Burns
543
Society cannot exist without law. Law is the bond of society: that which makes it, that which preserves it and keeps it together. It is, in fact, the essence of civil society.
Joseph P. Bradley
544
Mentally strong people overcome setbacks with confidence because adversity only makes them better.
545
The eye of a human being is a microscope, which makes the world seem bigger than it really is.

Pure love and suspicion cannot dwell together: at the door where the latter enters, the former makes its exit.
Alexandre Dumas
548
Knowledge is going to make you stronger. Knowledge is going to let you control your life. Knowledge is going to give you the wisdom to teach their children. Knowledge is the thing that makes you smile in the face of disaster.
Avery Brooks
549
Music is the wine which inspires one to new generative processes, and I am Bacchus who presses out this glorious wine for mankind and makes them spiritually drunken.
550
Timidity makes a person modest. It makes him or her say, ‘I’m not worthy of being written up in the record of deeds in heaven or on earth.’ Timidity keeps people from their good. They are afraid to say, ‘Yes, I deserve it.’
551
Death makes angels of us all and gives us wings where we had shoulders smooth as ravens claws.
552
A pessimist is one who makes difficulties of his opportunities and an optimist is one who makes opportunities of his difficulties.
553
We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special.
554
If I became president now I would immediately pass a law that makes every citizen a policeman or a soldier.
555
God gave me some weird, beautiful scent that makes men and women go crazy. People compare it to Carvel. It is a whale of a smell.
556
Winners take time to relish their work, knowing that scaling the mountain is what makes the view from the top so exhilarating.
557
The one charm about marriage is that it makes a life of deception absolutely necessary for both parties.

Repetition makes reputation and reputation makes customers.
Elizabeth Arden
560
A life of anybody is not perfect; there is always things that happen, and that is what makes it interesting.
561
Beer makes you feel the way you ought to feel without beer.
Henry Lawson
562
Darwin‘s idea of natural selection makes people uncomfortable because it reverses the direction of tradition.
563
It is not because angels are holier than men or devils that makes them angels, but because they do not expect holiness from one another, but from God only.
564
Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
565
Success is not a good teacher, failure makes you humble.
566
People’s dreams are made out of what they do all day. The same way a dog that runs after rabbits will dream of rabbits. It’s what you do that makes your soul, not the other way around.
567
For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.
568
Technology feeds on itself. Technology makes more technology possible.
569
I love the color pink. It makes a bold statement.
570
In all ranks of life the human heart yearns for the beautiful; and the beautiful things that God makes are his gift to all alike.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
