I’ve never felt particularly ambitious or driven, that’s for sure, although I like to create stuff, whether it’s a little doodle, a drawing, a small painting or a movie or a piece of music, so I suppose I’m driven by that.

200
201
202
I never drink water; that is the stuff that rusts pipes.
203
I believe that if you work hard and you never get to enjoy it then what’s the point. You can’t take any of this with you, the money or nothing. The only thing you can take is experiences, memories and good times, so I like to get amongst it as much as I can.

The secret of genius is to carry the spirit of the child into old age, which means never losing your enthusiasm.

273
274
275

328
We must never be afraid to go too far, for truth lies beyond.
329

Never lose an opportunity of seeing anything beautiful, for beauty is God’s handwriting.
426
I’ve never known any trouble than an hour’s reading didn’t assuage.
427
The most important lesson that I have learned is to trust God in every circumstance. Lots of times we go through different trials and following God’s plan seems like it doesn’t make any sense at all. God is always in control and he will never leave us.
428
429
I have never made but one prayer to God, a very short one: ‘O Lord make my enemies ridiculous.’ And God granted it.
430
Never underestimate the power of jealousy and the power of envy to destroy. Never underestimate that.
431
Freedom means the opportunity to be what we never thought we would be.
432
Survival can be summed up in three words – never give up. That’s the heart of it really. Just keep trying.
433
434
435
436
437
Never give in – never, never, never, never, in nothing great or small, large or petty, never give in except to convictions of honour and good sense.
438
You never let a serious crisis go to waste. And what I mean by that it’s an opportunity to do things you think you could not do before.
439
Never let the negativity get to you. There are gonna be a lot of people you have to plow through, but as long you believe in yourself, that’s all that matters.
440
A bachelor is a guy who never made the same mistake once.
441
Winners never quit and quitters never win.
442
Never stand begging for that which you have the power to earn.
443
444
Most humans are never fully present in the now, because unconsciously they believe that the next moment must be more important than this one. But then you miss your whole life, which is never not now.
445
446
Our dead are never dead to us, until we have forgotten them.
447
448
449
You can never get all the facts from just one newspaper, and unless you have all the facts, you cannot make proper judgements about what is going on.
450
451
I never do anything half-heartedly. I will continue to work hard and play hard and do everything I can to be successful, whatever I do.
452
The one thing we can never get enough of is love. And the one thing we never give enough is love.
453
I have learned that friendship isn’t about who you’ve known the longest, it’s about who came and never left your side.
454
455
Never give in and never give up.
456
Democracy is messy, and it’s hard. It’s never easy.
457
I never think that people die. They just go to department stores.
458
459
Until the great mass of the people shall be filled with the sense of responsibility for each other’s welfare, social justice can never be attained.
460
461
Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we’re making the right decision. What we do know is that wherever we are, that’s where the Light wants us to be. It’s the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don’t try to control the situation, then we won’t end up in the place we shouldn’t be.
462
Just keep going. You never know how far you can go.
463
War is never a lasting solution for any problem.
464
465
Ignorance more frequently begets confidence than does knowledge: it is those who know little, and not those who know much, who so positively assert that this or that problem will never be solved by science.
466
467
468
Do not wait; the time will never be ‘just right.’ Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.
469
Never, never, never give up.
470
471
472
Be hopeful. Be optimistic. Never lose that sense of hope.
473
I think that I shall never see a billboard lovely as a tree. Perhaps, unless the billboards fall, I’ll never see a tree at all.
474
You have to remember that the hard days are what make you stronger. The bad days make you realize what a good day is. If you never had any bad days, you would never have that sense of accomplishment!
475
Friends are the siblings God never gave us.
476
Identity is never singular but is multiply constructed across intersecting and antagonistic discourses, practices and positions.
477
Never look back unless you are planning to go that way.
478
Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.
479
You can’t live a perfect day without doing something for someone who will never be able to repay you.
480
If you spend too much time thinking about a thing, you’ll never get it done.
481
Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.
482
483
I realized that bullying never has to do with you. It’s the bully who’s insecure.
484
485
486
Truth never damages a cause that is just.
487
I don’t have a feeling of inferiority. Never had. I’m as good as anybody, but no better.
488
It’s always great to engage with people. You never know who you can make an effect on. And I love interacting with the fans, hearing what they have to say and joking around with them. Anytime I can reach out online and give encouragement, motivate people, be a better citizen, that’s what it’s all about, man.
489
I think goals should never be easy, they should force you to work, even if they are uncomfortable at the time.
490
A man who has not passed through the inferno of his passions has never overcome them.
491
492
493
Rest until you feel like playing, then play until you feel like resting, period. Never do anything else.
494
495
People all over the world have problems. And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die.
496
Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
497
498
499
A photograph can be an instant of life captured for eternity that will never cease looking back at you.
500
A man should never neglect his family for business.
501
502
If a man insisted always on being serious, and never allowed himself a bit of fun and relaxation, he would go mad or become unstable without knowing it.
503
I never look at my watch when I’m sketching!
504
Pain is never permanent.
505
A promise must never be broken.
506
507
508
509
510
Never believe that a few caring people can’t change the world. For, indeed, that’s all who ever have.
511
You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.
512
He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.
513
You see things; and you say ‘Why?’ But I dream things that never were; and I say ‘Why not?’
514
Never attempt to murder a man who is committing suicide.
515
In good times and bad times, never comprise who you are.
516
There has never been a protracted war from which a country has benefited.
517
But meanwhile time flies; it flies never to be regained.
518
I’ve never been cool – and I don’t care.
519
Never be haughty to the humble or humble to the haughty.
520
We shall never change our political leaders until we change the people who elect them.
521
You never know God is all you need until God is all you have.
522
523
524
525
It’s never nice to lose someone close to you; unfortunately, life goes on, and we have to make peace with it and move on.
526
Without pain, there would be no suffering, without suffering we would never learn from our mistakes. To make it right, pain and suffering is the key to all windows, without it, there is no way of life.
527
I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
528
Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.
529
History never looks like history when you are living through it.
530
531
Nature never did betray the heart that loved her.
532
Never give a sword to a man who can’t dance.
533
We all have a tendency to avoid our weaknesses. When we do that, we never progress or get any better.
534
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
535
Freedom is never given; it is won.
536
537
538
If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.
539
My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.
540
541
I have a theory that the truth is never told during the nine-to-five hours.
542
Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.
543
If people never did silly things nothing intelligent would ever get done.
544
If all the economists were laid end to end, they’d never reach a conclusion.

547
Never look down on anybody unless you’re helping him up.
548
549
550
It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.
551
552
Unless you try to do something beyond what you have already mastered, you will never grow.
553
Always the journey, never the destination.
554
There is an innocence in admiration; it is found in those to whom it has never yet occurred that they, too, might be admired some day.
555
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.
556
No matter how cynical you become, it’s never enough to keep up.
557
558
A winner never stops trying.
559
If you make friends with yourself you will never be alone.
560
561
Never leave that till tomorrow which you can do today.
562
If your only goal is to become rich, you will never achieve it.
563
Never was anything great achieved without danger.
564
I never fall down. I always fight.
565
The poetry of the earth is never dead.
566
I attribute my success to this – I never gave or took any excuse.

568
Don’t wait. The time will never be just right.
569
Our greatest glory is not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.
570
571
I have never started a poem yet whose end I knew. Writing a poem is discovering.
572
Power concedes nothing without a demand. It never did and it never will.
573
Grief changes shape, but it never ends.
574
575
576
577
There never is a good time for tough decisions. There will always be an election or something else. You have to pick courage and do it. Governance is about taking tough, even unpopular, decisions.
578
579
A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
580
581
You never know where life is going to take you. So everything I do, I just take it one day at a time, and it always leads you to the right place.
582
I never see what has been done; I only see what remains to be done.
583
584
Don’t worry that children never listen to you; worry that they are always watching you.
585
I never took a day off in my twenties. Not one. And I’m still fanatical, but now I’m a little less fanatical.
586
As soon as the land of any country has all become private property, the landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed, and demand a rent even for its natural produce.
587
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.
588
Never neglect details. When everyone’s mind is dulled or distracted the leader must be doubly vigilant.
589
There is no such thing as perpetual tranquillity of mind while we live here; because life itself is but motion, and can never be without desire, nor without fear, no more than without sense.
590
I’ll never tell a lie. I’ll never make a misleading statement. I’ll never betray the confidence that any of you had in me. And I’ll never avoid a controversial issue.
591
There is no substitute for hard work. Never give up. Never stop believing. Never stop fighting.
592
I have never advocated war except as a means of peace.
593
I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
594
I never travel without my diary. One should always have something sensational to read in the train.
595
I am a Republican, a black, dyed in the wool Republican, and I never intend to belong to any other party than the party of freedom and progress.
596
597
598
We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented.
599
600
601
I never want to grow up.
602
Never let the future disturb you. You will meet it, if you have to, with the same weapons of reason which today arm you against the present.
603
Be true to yourself, stay focused and stay you, take advice from other folks, use what you can, but never mind what is not for you. For the most part, trust yourself and believe in what you are doing.
604
The love of gardening is a seed once sown that never dies.
605
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
606
607
608

612
613
It’s never too late in life to have a genuine adventure.
614
615
We learn from experience that men never learn anything from experience.
616
We are never deceived; we deceive ourselves.
617
618
Things never go the way you expect them to. That’s both the joy and frustration in life. I’m finding as I get older that I don’t mind, though. It’s the surprises that tickle me the most, the things you don’t see coming.
619
620
Choose a job you love, and you will never have to work a day in your life.
621
622
Luck? I don’t know anything about luck. I’ve never banked on it and I’m afraid of people who do. Luck to me is something else: Hard work – and realizing what is opportunity and what isn’t.
623
Science may never come up with a better office communication system than the coffee break.
624
625
626
627
Never forget what a person says to you when they are angry.
628
There ain’t no answer. There ain’t gonna be any answer. There never has been an answer. That’s the answer.
629
We will never have true civilization until we have learned to recognize the rights of others.
630
The journey is never ending. There’s always gonna be growth, improvement, adversity; you just gotta take it all in and do what’s right, continue to grow, continue to live in the moment.
631
632
Let us never know what old age is. Let us know the happiness time brings, not count the years.
633
Never put off till tomorrow what you can do the day after tomorrow.
634
Before Alamein we never had a victory. After Alamein we never had a defeat.
635
636

637
Some stories are true that never happened.
638
639
You just can’t beat the person who never gives up.
640
If you never change your mind, why have one?
641
My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.’
642
643
644
645
If money is your hope for independence you will never have it. The only real security that a man will have in this world is a reserve of knowledge, experience, and ability.
646
647
A gentleman is one who never hurts anyone’s feelings unintentionally.
648
If you accept the expectations of others, especially negative ones, then you never will change the outcome.
649
The truth is: Belonging starts with self-acceptance. Your level of belonging, in fact, can never be greater than your level of self-acceptance, because believing that you’re enough is what gives you the courage to be authentic, vulnerable and imperfect.
650
651
True love stories never have endings.
652
Nature’s music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.
653
Whatever affects one directly, affects all indirectly. I can never be what I ought to be until you are what you ought to be. This is the interrelated structure of reality.
654
655
Man can believe the impossible, but man can never believe the improbable.
656
657

660
Never mistake motion for action.
661
Genius must be born, and never can be taught.
662
True friendship ought never to conceal what it thinks.
663
Can you ever imagine yourself in a situation like Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie or Kim Kardashian and Kanye West, where the world feels like they have a stake in your private life? I would never want it.
664
Never interrupt your enemy when he is making a mistake.
665
666
If you live long enough, you’ll make mistakes. But if you learn from them, you’ll be a better person. It’s how you handle adversity, not how it affects you. The main thing is never quit, never quit, never quit.
667
Never apologize for showing feeling. When you do so, you apologize for the truth.
668
The whole secret of existence is to have no fear. Never fear what will become of you, depend on no one. Only the moment you reject all help are you freed.
669
We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap.
670
Heroes get remembered, but legends never die.
671
672
Never trust anything that can think for itself if you can’t see where it keeps its brain.
673
Never pick a fight with an ugly person, they’ve got nothing to lose.
674
The sudden disappointment of a hope leaves a scar which the ultimate fulfillment of that hope never entirely removes.
675
If you believe in yourself and have dedication and pride – and never quit, you’ll be a winner. The price of victory is high but so are the rewards.
