When I look back over my life it’s almost as if there was a plan laid out for me – from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn’t afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.
12
One of the disadvantages of poetry over popular music is that if you write a pop song, it naturally gets into people’s heads as they listen in the car. You don’t have to memorize a Paul Simon song; it’s just in your head, and you can sing along. With a poem, you have to will yourself to memorize it.

Many years ago, it was my opportunity to serve as president of the Canadian Mission. There we had a branch with very limited priesthood. We always had a missionary presiding over the branch. I received a strong impression that we needed to have a member of the branch preside there.

If you’re too methodical, too fearful, you’re not going to win. But the clever thing is to make the calculation correctly about where and when to go over the top. You’ve got to know when to push it and when to come back.

Tip the world over on its side and everything loose will land in Los Angeles.

Power is the measure of the degree of control you have over circumstances in your life and the actions of the people around you. It is a skill that is developed by a deep understanding of human nature, of what truly motivates people, and of the manipulations necessary for advancement and protection.

True teachers use themselves as bridges over which they invite their students to cross; then, having facilitated their crossing, joyfully collapse, encouraging them to create bridges of their own.

Grief is never something you get over. You don’t wake up one morning and say, ‘I’ve conquered that; now I’m moving on.’ It’s something that walks beside you every day. And if you can learn how to manage it and honour the person that you miss, you can take something that is incredibly sad and have some form of positivity.

We are on the forefront of a revolution in which identity and expression will take priority over the labels assigned to us at birth; in which self-identification will take priority over perception; in which gender will fall away entirely.
42
It ain’t over till it’s over.
43
A dish should have flavor, texture, appearance and smell, but I’m doing it differently. We take Chinese food, play with your sentiments, memories of it, and then take you to the border; you won’t fall over the edge, but you get excitement.
44
Young people all over the world are very frustrated. They are very disillusioned. Many of them are turning their backs on religion. They are walking away from the faith of their parents, and most of this is because religion has failed them.
45
I survived turning 60, I was not thrilled to turn 61, I was less thrilled to turn 62, I didn’t much like being 63, I loathed being 64, and I will hate being 65. I don’t let on about such things in person; in person, I am cheerful and Pollyanna-ish. But the honest truth is that it’s sad to be over 60.
46
47
There is one rule for politicians all over the world: Don’t say in Power what you say in opposition; if you do, you only have to carry out what the other fellows have found impossible.

If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
75
I’ve had the opportunity to work with so many great directors. Different styles, as well, like Gus Van Sant. He just does the casting and the milieu and let’s you do your thing, quietly. Bertolucci, who can talk to you about your internal world in quite a creative way or just say, ‘Well, put your hand over here.’
76
The signing of the Sex Pistols was a turning point for Virgin. It put the company on the map and, over the years, attracted bands such as Genesis, the Rolling Stones, Lenny Kravitz, and Janet Jackson. It also attracted Culture Club, who were ground-breaking.
77
78
I am a thinker, and I do muse over things a lot and am constantly assessing whether I am doing enough or what I should be doing more of to make sure I am not letting anyone down.
79
Finishing is one of the most difficult things to do in cricket. A player can’t be a finisher in just 6 months or one year. You have to be used to that responsibility, keeping on doing what is required from you over a period of time.

82
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.
83
84
We must choose dialogue over confrontation, and peaceful settlement of disputes over unilateral acts of imposition.
85
86
Girls’ weekend with the ‘Vampire Diaries‘ girls has become a big deal! It’s our quality time. It’s so much fun to unload and not feel guilty complaining or talking about your insecurities or bonding over things that you thought you were on your own about.
87
Censorship is never over for those who have experienced it. It is a brand on the imagination that affects the individual who has suffered it, forever.

Television is the triumph of machine over people.
94
I don’t know what religious people do. I kind of wished I’d been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma.
95
We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
96
I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that make life more fun.
97
98
We believe in peace and peaceful development, not only for ourselves but for people all over the world.

Atheism is aristocratic; the idea of a great Being that watches over oppressed innocence and punishes triumphant crime is altogether popular.
101
102
I’ve been waiting over 40 years to come to Cyprus, and it has not disappointed – the birthplace of Aphrodite, the Crossroads of Civilization, and, I might add, a genuine strategic partner to the United States of America.
103
My first show was called ‘I Know I’ve Been Changed’ in ’92. I tried to do this show for years and years. It kept failing over and over and over again. Every time I went out to do the show, nobody showed up. I was like, ‘What is this about?’
104
105
To find the universal elements enough; to find the air and the water exhilarating; to be refreshed by a morning walk or an evening saunter… to be thrilled by the stars at night; to be elated over a bird‘s nest or a wildflower in spring – these are some of the rewards of the simple life.
106
All over the world, independent and strong civil society – NGOs, faith leaders, and other community advocates – help governments solve problems and better serve their people better by shining a light on the issues that matter most – like education standards, access to healthcare, the rule of law, and economic opportunity.
107
108
I’ve been asked over the years to compile a list of desert-island discs. I couldn’t do that. If I was trapped on a desert island, I don’t think I’d want 10 songs to bring with me.

The first view of the Earth is magical. It is a very overpowering realization that the Earth is so small. It affected me. I could not get over the notion that in such a small planet, with such a small ribbon of life, so much goes on. It is as if the whole place is sacred.
120
For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.
121
122
123
The advantage that hospitals have over other institutions is that hospitals are community-based. You can’t outsource your work; you can’t move your emergency department to Pakistan.
124
When I was a seminarian, I was dazzled by a girl I met at an uncle‘s wedding. I was surprised by her beauty, her intellectual brilliance… and, well, I was bowled over for quite a while.
125
126
In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.
127
128
So far is it from being true that men are naturally equal, that no two people can be half an hour together, but one shall acquire an evident superiority over the other.
129
We’re always looking over our shoulders, ‘what they will think, what the press will think, what will this one – am I making the right career move?’ When you’re young you have to do all that to survive, I suppose.
130
Go to The Spaniards Inn on Hampstead Heath. It’s an old-fashioned pub, and from there, you can look out over the London skyline.
131
132
Your karma should be good, and everything else will follow. Your good karma will always win over your bad luck.
133
134
135
To think that the new economy is over is like somebody in London in 1830 saying the entire industrial revolution is over because some textile manufacturers in Manchester went broke.
136

I just want to do God’s will. And he’s allowed me to go to the mountain. And I’ve looked over, and I’ve seen the promised land! I may not get there with you, but I want you to know tonight that we as a people will get to the promised land.
142
The one important thing I have learned over the years is the difference between taking one’s work seriously and taking one’s self seriously. The first is imperative and the second is disastrous.
143
144
In the workplace, many people become helicopter managers, hovering over their employees in a well-intentioned but ill-fated attempt to provide support. These are givers gone awry – people so desperate to help others that they develop a white knight complex and end up causing harm instead.
145
Being a big guy, you face certain challenges. Over time, though, women found excuses to find me attractive.
146
Feelings are more dangerous than ideas, because they aren’t susceptible to rational evaluation. They grow quietly, spreading underground, and erupt suddenly, all over the place.
147
I was so depressed for so many years over trying to become a working comedian that my sense of self-worth would plummet.
148
149

Each man is always in the middle of the surface of the earth and under the zenith of his own hemisphere, and over the centre of the earth.
154
155
I’ve had the honor and privilege of knowing Jeff for over 25 years. He’s been a dear friend and a mentor, and there is no finer person in public service than Jeff Sessions. He’s conducted himself with the greatest integrity of any public official I’ve ever met.
156
The only sure bulwark of continuing liberty is a government strong enough to protect the interests of the people, and a people strong enough and well enough informed to maintain its sovereign control over the goverment.
157
Winning takes precedence over all. There’s no gray area. No almosts.
158

Our higher education system is one of the things that makes America exceptional. There’s no place else that has the assets we do when it comes to higher education. People from all over the world aspire to come here and study here. And that is a good thing.
175
176
177
Karma, memory, and desire are just the software of the soul. It’s conditioning that the soul undergoes in order to create experience. And it’s a cycle. In most people, the cycle is a conditioned response. They do the same things over and over again.
178
Building a bridge, in my opinion, is a symbolic gesture, linked with the needs of people who cross over it, and with the idea of overcoming or surmounting obstacles. A modern bridge can also be a work of art. It helps to shape our daily lives and becomes a vital experience for all the people who use it.
179
180
Just remember, once you’re over the hill you begin to pick up speed.
181
Both old and young alike ought to seek wisdom: the former in order that, as age comes over him, he may be young in good things because of the grace of what has been, and the latter in order that, while he is young, he may at the same time be old, because he has no fear of the things which are to come.
182
Everything has been said before, but since nobody listens we have to keep going back and beginning all over again.
183
184
Actors are one family over the entire world.
185
As we know, menstrual hygiene is an issue women have been facing over the years. It’s great that the initiative to provide low-cost sanitary napkins has been undertaken. It is an empowering step for many women.

187
188
189
People see my photos and think I labor over my image and I’m this cool, brooding artist. But I’m just having fun with it.
190
The only purpose for which power can be rightfully exercised over any member of a civilized community, against his will, is to prevent harm to others. His own good, either physical or moral, is not sufficient warrant.
191
192
Politicians are the same all over. They promise to build bridges even when there are no rivers.
193
Whether you like it or not, the digital age has produced a new format for modern romance, and natural selection may be favoring the quick-thumbed quip peddler over the confident, ice-breaking alpha male.
194
The ultimate tragedy is not the oppression and cruelty by the bad people but the silence over that by the good people.
195
196
Many people believe the whole catastrophe is the oil we spill, but that gets diluted and eventually disarmed over time. In fact, the oil we don’t spill, the oil we collect, refine and use, produces CO2 and other gases that don’t get diluted.
197
It is a neck-and-neck race between Mr. Gray and myself who shall complete our apparatus first. He has the advantage over me in being a practical electrician – but I have reason to believe that I am better acquainted with the phenomena of sound than he is – so that I have an advantage there.
198
199
Like a baseball game, wars are not over till they are over. Wars don’t run on a clock like football. No previous generation was so hopelessly unrealistic that this had to be explained to them.
200
What we call Man’s power over Nature turns out to be a power exercised by some men over other men with Nature as its instrument.
201
202
When money is controlled by a few it gives that few an undue power and control over labor and the resources of the country. Labor will have its best return when the laborer can control its disposal.
203
One of the sanest, surest, and most generous joys of life comes from being happy over the good fortune of others.
204
205
206
It takes tremendous discipline to control the influence, the power you have over other people’s lives.
207
208
In the long term, artificial intelligence and automation are going to be taking over so much of what gives humans a feeling of purpose.
209
210
Laughter is the sensation of feeling good all over and showing it principally in one place.
211
212
I do not wish women to have power over men; but over themselves.
213
My own personal popularity can have no influence over me when the dictates of my best judgment and the obligations of an oath require of me a particular course. Under such circumstances, whether I sink or swim on the tide of popular favor is, to me, a matter of inferior consideration.
214
215
On the field, aggression can sometimes be a positive emotion. It boosts performance and can lift your game. But over the years, I have learnt that restrained aggression is a better animal. That way, you will conserve your energy and won’t spend yourself quickly.
216
When I was a sophomore at USC, I was a socialist, pretty much to the left. But not when I left the university. I quickly got wise. I’d read about what had happened to Russia in 1917 when the Communists took over.
217

220
By prevailing over all obstacles and distractions, one may unfailingly arrive at his chosen goal or destination.
221
222
When distant and unfamiliar and complex things are communicated to great masses of people, the truth suffers a considerable and often a radical distortion. The complex is made over into the simple, the hypothetical into the dogmatic, and the relative into an absolute.
223
224
History has taught us over and over again that freedom is not free. When push comes to shove, the ultimate protectors of freedom and liberty are the brave men and women in our armed forces. Throughout our history, they’ve answered the call in bravery and sacrifice.
225

If you hold back in hurdles, you are going to fall over.

232
For too long in this society, we have celebrated unrestrained individualism over common community.
233
234
Why be negative when you can enjoy life and be positive? That’s something I learned over the years.
235
236
237
238
239
No one is different from the other. I’m very grateful that I have a diverse group of fans as well. We welcome individuality over here in my world, and I think that my fans can see and feel that.
240
My father never was and isn’t a mean man. You know, he never was ruthless. And he succeeded in life without sticking it to anybody. And that’s a great example for a man, a strong man, a man’s man, to give to his children. You can succeed, you can be successful, without walking over somebody.
241
242
If I could do anything over, I’d have spent more time with my first set of children. I would have taken more quality time with them, for sure.
243
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
244
245
246
247
248
We plan to eliminate the state of Israel and establish a purely Palestinian state. We will make life unbearable for Jews by psychological warfare and population explosion. We Palestinians will take over everything, including all of Jerusalem.
249
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
250
My voice has changed dramatically over the years.
251
252
253
There’s such a thing as good stress and bad stress. Bad stress is when somebody else stresses you out, and good stress is when you stress yourself out over something you want to accomplish, which makes you want to perfect it.
254
255
256
I think God’s going to come down and pull civilization over for speeding.
257
Indigenous people all over the world take quite a lot of trouble with their hair and their clothes.
258
259
260
Though we travel the world over to find the beautiful, we must carry it with us or we find it not.
261
My first year making music was very experimental. I was trying to find my sound. My second year, I was more in my element. I knew what type of production I wanted to go over and the topics I wanted to address.
262
263
No man has any natural authority over his fellow men.
264
Among the weeds choking out growth and good government are the hundreds of boards, commissions, and advisory committees that have sprouted over the years. They devour time, money, and energy far beyond any real contribution they make.
265
I use a ball pen because fountain pens are clumsy, and I get ink all over my fingers by the time I finish with it.
266
267
Walking is my main method of relaxation. I don’t go over my lines or try to solve the world’s problems, I just enjoy the scenery and the wildlife.
268
Over the years, Forgotten Realms and gaming have taken me all over the world and made me all sorts of new friends.
269
As a leader, you must consistently drive effective communication. Meetings must be deliberate and intentional – your organizational rhythm should value purpose over habit and effectiveness over efficiency.
270
271
People say women shouldn’t have long hair over a certain age, but I’ve never done what everyone says.
272
Praise the bridge that carried you over.
273
If I lose the light of the sun, I will write by candlelight, moonlight, no light, If I lose paper and ink, I will write in blood on forgotten walls. I will write always. I will capture nights all over the world and bring them to you.
274
All the world over, I will back the masses against the classes.
275
People change over the years, and that changes situations for good and for bad.
276
277
Advocates of capitalism are very apt to appeal to the sacred principles of liberty, which are embodied in one maxim: The fortunate must not be restrained in the exercise of tyranny over the unfortunate.
278
279
The person that turns over the most rocks wins the game. And that’s always been my philosophy.
280
I feel as though, if you’re able to control your dreams, you have more power and control over your mind, like you could reach more areas of your mind. Therefore, I feel like it creates the ability for you to achieve more things in reality.
281
282
The vision of a champion is bent over, drenched in sweat, at the point of exhaustion, when nobody else is looking.
283
When you blame yourself, you learn from it. If you blame someone else, you don’t learn nothing, cause hey, it’s not your fault, it’s his fault, over there.
284
For all the supporters of Tesla over the years, and it’s been several years now and there have been some very tough times, I’d just like to say thank you very much. I deeply appreciate the support, particularly through the darkest times.
285
The pop-star thing bores me because it’s somebody programming someone else. Stand over here, sing that, no, sing it like this, talk like that, when they ask you this, don’t say that, say this, hold that, drive this, stay here, live there – you’re not even a human being. You’re a puppet.
286
I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.
287
288
I’m a strong man, and usually I get over hurts and it makes me stronger when I come back.
289
290
291
I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white, and it says, ‘You may have fooled some of the people some of the time, but those days are over, giftless. I’m not your agent, and I’m not your mommy; I’m a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?’ and I really, really don’t. I’ll go peaceable-like.
292
If one cannot enjoy reading a book over and over again, there is no use in reading it at all.
293
There are many talented people who haven’t fulfilled their dreams because they over thought it, or they were too cautious, and were unwilling to make the leap of faith.
294
Over the years, I’ve given myself a thousand reasons to keep running, but it always comes back to where it started. It comes down to self-satisfaction and a sense of achievement.
295
Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you’re going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.
296
297
I believe the only thing that we really have control over is our attitude. If we focus on the positive things in our lives and learn how to cope with all the surprises, we will be happier people.

301
302
The power of man has grown in every sphere, except over himself.
303
But if inventions have increased man’s power over nature very much, then the real value of money is better measured for some purposes in labour than in commodities.
304
305
What satellites help to show us is we’ve actually only found a fraction of a percent of ancient settlements and sites all over the world… It’s the most exciting time in history to be an archaeologist.
306
Never give up. It’s never over until it’s over.
307
We really need to get over this love affair with the fetus and start worrying about children.
308
309
Revision is the heart of writing. Every page I do is done over seven or eight times.
310
311
I wish I could freeze time or go back in time and watch my kids grow up all over again because it is just going by too fast.
312
313
314
If you want grown-ups to recycle, just tell their kids the importance of recycling, and they’ll be all over it.
315
Learning in a face-to-face human community, as humans have evolved to do over hundreds of thousands of years, may always be the ideal – especially in an endeavor that is as relationship-driven as business.
316
317
Ants are the dominant insects of the world, and they’ve had a great impact on habitats almost all over the land surface of the world for more than 50-million years.
318
When you go all over the world for work, your dream vacation is your bedroom.
319
320
The only thing you sometimes have control over is perspective. You don’t have control over your situation. But you have a choice about how you view it.
321
There are so many people who are arguing or fighting over issues which don’t have much relevance. We must all realise it is not worth it.
322
323
324
Start every day off with a smile and get it over with.
325
326
Globalization creates economic policies where the transnationals lord over us, and the result is misery and unemployment.
327
When you have a lot of confidence and you feel like nobody can beat you, it’s game over for everyone else.
328
On the other hand in London you can get an audience that desires dance to go as far as it can go: they’ve seen the bricks of ideas built over a period so therefore there is an acceptance of what otherwise might seem out on a limb.
329
Nobody can do for little children what grandparents do. Grandparents sort of sprinkle stardust over the lives of little children.
330
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I’ve always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It’s been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It’s a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
331
One thing I could tell you is that I’m all over the place.
332
If you don’t give power to the words that people throw at you to hurt you, they don’t hurt you anymore. And you actually have power over those people.
333
I had to pick myself up and get on with it, do it all over again, only even better this time.
334
335
336
The Edge… there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
337
The five warmest years over the last century occurred in the last eight years.
338
Gray hairs seem to my fancy like the soft light of the moon, silvering over the evening of life.
339
340
What the printing press is to Christianity in the 16th century, that’s what the Internet is doing to Islam now. It has opened up the monopoly over the interpretation of Islam that used to solely belong to the religious class.
341
Sometimes over things that I did, movies that didn’t turn out very well – you go, ‘Why did you do that?’ But in the end, I can’t regret them because I met amazing people. There was always something that was worth it.
342
Enthusiasm is that secret and harmonious spirit which hovers over the production of genius.
343
Once a new technology rolls over you, if you’re not part of the steamroller, you’re part of the road.

346
He that cannot forgive others, breaks the bridge over which he himself must pass if he would ever reach heaven; for everyone has need to be forgiven.
347
My parents wanted to light my artistic candle. But over time, the definition of ‘the arts‘ began to stretch. And as I got older, they suddenly realized, Oh, my God, we’re the parents of Iggy Pop.
348
349
One may walk over the highest mountain one step at a time.
350
I’d marry again if I found a man who had fifteen million dollars, would sign over half to me, and guarantee that he’d be dead within a year.
351
Great is the hand that holds dominion over man by a scribbled name.
352
I worked with Jack Nitzsche for ‘One Flew Over the Cuckoo‘s Nest,’ and we’d booked a symphony orchestra. He dismissed them and came with a little man who poured water into glasses of different sizes to make a glass harmonica. And most of the music for the film was that – with some Indian flutes and some drums.
353
It’s so beautifully arranged on the plate – you know someone’s fingers have been all over it.
354
355
356
No, I’m not a vegetarian. I do eat that way. I actually eat vegan quite a lot. I feel better when I eat that way, and I think there’s been a lot of proof that’s come up over the last however many years, that you can’t deny, I don’t think, that meat or dairy aren’t all that good for us.
357
Over the years, I’ve learned that if you can just hang in there and, regardless of what’s presented to you, take it as a challenge and try to bring in something fresh, then it works.
358
359
360
361
362
We should never forget the inevitable, as we will lose everything eventually. So, why fret over any kind of security? The idea is to just fly and experience it all while it lasts.
363
Once I step over that white line I become The Bowler.
364
365
Dreaming means ‘rehearsing‘ what you see, playing it over and over in your mind until it becomes as real to you as your life right now.
366
367
I am the people, I’m not the pig. You got to make a distinction. And the people are going to have to attack the pigs. The people are going to have to stand up against the pigs. That’s what the Panthers is doing, that’s what the Panthers are doing all over the world.
368
In reading the lives of great men, I found that the first victory they won was over themselves… self-discipline with all of them came first.
369
370
No war is over until the enemy says it’s over.
371
372
The separation of church and state was meant to protect church from state; a state that declares religion off limits in public life is a state that declares itself supreme over all religious values.
373
In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.
374
The easiest thing to do in the world is pull the covers up over your head and go back to sleep.
375
I own nothing; I just stay with friends all over the country.
376
All of us have been trained by education and environment to seek personal gain and security and to fight for ourselves. Though we cover it over with pleasant phrases, we have been educated for various professions within a system which is based on exploitation and acquisitive fear.
377
378
Israel is following policies which maximise its security threats… policies which choose expansion over security… policies which lead to their moral degradation, their isolation, their delegitimation, as they call it now, and very likely ultimate destruction. That’s not impossible.

Every man should pull a boat over a mountain once in his life.
382
Every test, every trial, every heartache that’s been significant, I can turn it over and see how God has turned it into good no matter what.
383
The British people know that, given strong leadership, time, and a little bit of hope, the forces of good ultimately rally and triumph over evil.
384
I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust, and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law.
385
Whenever two good people argue over principles, they are both right.
386
Man will occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of the time he will pick himself up and continue on.
387
Old age is not a disease – it is strength and survivorship, triumph over all kinds of vicissitudes and disappointments, trials and illnesses.
388
389
I did not lose myself all at once. I rubbed out my face over the years washing away my pain, the same way carvings on stone are worn down by water.
390
The most exciting part of what I do is understanding the scale of what we don’t know. There are just countless archaeological sites all over the world, and one of the most important and best ways of finding them is using digital technology.
391
One of the things I realized is that if you do not take control over your time and your life, other people will gobble it up. If you don’t prioritize yourself, you constantly start falling lower and lower on your list, your kids fall lower and lower on your list.
392
Digital reading will completely take over. It’s lightweight and it’s fantastic for sharing. Over time it will take over.
393
The brutalities of progress are called revolutions. When they are over we realize this: that the human race has been roughly handled, but that it has advanced.
394
To me, if there is any sort of value added to the accumulation of knowledge over time, then the work of artists should be a reflection of that accumulated value, accumulated knowledge. You have to demonstrate that you have the sophistication to put that into play in the work you’re making.
395
My motto in life is ‘If you think it, you can do it‘ and if we all apply that thought we can end hunger the world over.
396
I’m this overachiever type, I’ll just work and work and I’ll just do it over and over and over again.
397
398
I saw also that there was an ocean of darkness and death, but an infinite ocean of light and love, which flowed over the ocean of darkness.
399
400
401
I love to look at physically beautiful people, and obviously others do, too. But there’s such a narrow definition of what that is; the people who are my friends in life, the more I get to know them over the years, the more beautiful they are to me.
402
Human beings may well be unable to break free of the dictatorship of greed that spreads like a miasma over the world, but no longer will we be an inarticulate and ignorant humanity, confused by our enslavement to superior cruelty and weaponry.
403
When playing big festivals, I tend to play big, over the top techno tracks, like hands in the air songs that make sense being played in front of 30,000 people. I steer away from subtlety in the interests of big bombastic dance music.
404
If you play ‘Fortnite‘ and you’re over the age of 13 years old, you’ve got a psychological problem. There’s something wrong with you.
405
You take somebody that cries their goddam eyes out over phoney stuff in the movies, and nine times out of ten they’re mean bastards at heart.
406
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.
407
Confidence has not always been something I had in my whole life. But when I found it? Man you don’t have to be confident in every area of your life. Just grab something you’re confident about, and if you coast on that it’ll spill over to other areas in your life. Confidence is contagious, you know?
408
409
People all over the world have problems. And as long as people have problems, the blues can never die.
410
411
Over time I think we will probably see a closer merger of biological intelligence and digital intelligence.
412
Over the years, a lot of rappers – Lil’ Wayne, Ice Cube – have used my name in their songs. I’m a real touchstone of history.
413
As long as I live I will have control over my being.
414
415
I’ve got to be happy with myself when this ride is over.
416
417
Activism is very seductive, and writing is painful and hard. It’s very scary to have a death threat living over your head. Activism is very sustaining. But I don’t view myself as a political person. I’m just someone who desperately wants to stay alive.
418
In the 1950s and ’60s, America’s natural resources were in bad shape. Communities were so polluted that clouds of smog lingered over cities like Los Angeles. Rivers and lakes were filled with chemicals. In my hometown of Boston, the harbor was among the nation’s most polluted waterways.
419
I just got to a point where I was lying to myself constantly, so I had to face up to that. It was a lot of… I don’t want to use the words ‘self sacrifice,’ but that’s what it felt like. It was giving up who I thought I was and starting over from scratch and realizing the man that I am was good enough.
420
I’ve got to pick myself up Dust myself off And start all over again.
421
422
423
It’s worth pointing out that conflicts between racially oppressed people often result from the fact that colonialism worked on divide and rule. Certain ethnic, religious, racial or indigenous groups were deliberately privileged over others in order to create a sense of investment in upholding the power structure.
424
The thirst for powerful sensations takes the upper hand both over fear and over compassion for the grief of others.
425
What I’ve really learned over time is that optimism is a very, very important part of leadership.
426
My angels watch over me every day. Make sure I’m on the right path. I might be a angel.

430
Let us look at Jim Crow for the criminal he is and what he has done to one life multiplied millions of times over these United States and the world. He walks us on a tightrope from birth.
431
432
What has happened has happened. What is done cannot be undone. There is no point in looking back and ruminating over the past. I am a forward-looking man. I want to look ahead; I want to put my past behind me. I want to make my country proud.
433
434
Being tired isn’t anything. What’s important is the mind. The body being tired isn’t important. You can get over the body being tired by resting for a half-hour or an hour. What’s important is whether the mind is tired.
435
I’ve learned over the years that people are human and have mood swings, regardless of how talented they are. Today, I’m looking at life from a realistic point of view instead of the way I would want things to be.
436
Hope is tomorrow’s veneer over today’s disappointment.

Blockchain‘s a very interesting technology that will have some very profound applications for society over the years to come.

He took over anger to intimidate subordinates, and in time anger took over him.
441
There are more tears shed over answered prayers than over unanswered prayers.
442
The triumph of persuasion over force is the sign of a civilized society.
443
I think one thing I’ve learned over the years is just that you’re not going to ever please everyone, and the most important person to please is yourself.
444

449
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
450
Reading or written language is a cultural invention that necessitated totally new connections among structures in the human brain underlying language, perception, cognition, and, over time, our emotions.
451
The government of the United States doesn’t want peace. It wants to exploit its system of exploitation, of pillage, of hegemony through war. It wants peace, but what’s happening in Iraq? What happened in Lebanon? Palestine? What’s happening? What’s happened over the last hundred years in Latin America and in the world?
452
453
454
Over time, I have come to believe that ‘brave’ does not mean what we think it does. It does not mean ‘being afraid and doing it anyway.’ Nope. Brave means listening to the still small voice inside and doing as it says. Regardless of what the rest of the world is saying.
455
As the biggest library if it is in disorder is not as useful as a small but well-arranged one, so you may accumulate a vast amount of knowledge but it will be of far less value than a much smaller amount if you have not thought it over for yourself.
456
457
Over time, we as humans have developed a different attitude towards nature and we’ve forgotten about our inner power.
458
459
Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn’t your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.
460
I was born into a Christian family and brought up in a Lutheran church. My faith has been the center point of my life, really, since I was a child, but at 16 years of age, I fully surrendered my life over to Christ. At that point, as a teenager, I began to grasp the concept of Christ’s true love and forgiveness.
461
The citation for the 1971 Nobel Prize in Chemistry reads, ‘for contribution to the knowledge of electronic structures and geometry of molecules, especially free radicals,’ and therefore implies that the Prize has been awarded for a long series of studies extending practically over my whole scientific life.
462
Undeserved praise causes more pangs of conscience later than undeserved blame, but probably only for this reason, that our power of judgment are more completely exposed by being over praised than by being unjustly underestimated.
463
My mom and dad understood that every generation has to earn its freedom over and over again.
464
Try a thing you haven’t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.
465
Jean Shrimpton was the most beautiful of all the models I have known. To walk down the King’s Road, Chelsea, with Shrimpton was like walking through the rye. Strong men just keeled over right and left as she strode up the street.
466
Being transgender, like being gay, tall, short, white, black, male, or female, is another part of the human condition that makes each individual unique, and something over which we have no control. We are who we are in the deepest recesses of our minds, hearts and identities.
467
When I think over what I have said, I envy dumb people.
468
One of the criticisms I’ve faced over the years is that I’m not aggressive enough or assertive enough, or maybe somehow, because I’m empathetic, it means I’m weak. I totally rebel against that. I refuse to believe that you cannot be both compassionate and strong.
469
470
471
Over the years, people I’ve met have often asked me what I’m working on, and I’ve usually replied that the main thing was a book about Dresden.
472
473
No matter what has happened to you in the past or what is going on in your life right now, it has no power to keep you from having an amazingly good future if you will walk by faith in God. God loves you! He wants you to live with victory over sin so you can possess His promises for your life today!
474
I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.
475
And after Brexit, we will be free to determine our economic future, with control over our money, laws and borders.
476
I never feel lonely if I’ve got a book – they’re like old friends. Even if you’re not reading them over and over again, you know they are there. And they’re part of your history. They sort of tell a story about your journey through life.
477
478
479
I’ve put in so many enigmas and puzzles that it will keep the professors busy for centuries arguing over what I meant, and that’s the only way of insuring one’s immortality.
480
In my opinion, the battles over birth control and Planned Parenthood are primarily neither political nor religious. This is an issue of equality for women. This is an issue of women’s rights: Planned Parenthood is the most important private provider of reproductive health care for women in the United States.
481
482
To a philosopher all news, as it is called, is gossip, and they who edit and read it are old women over their tea.
483
We young Filipinos are trying to make over a nation and must not halt in our march, but from time to time turn our gaze upon our elders. We shall wish to read in their countenances approval of our actions.
484
When my father came over here penniless with $100 sewn into his underwear, thank God some well-meaning liberal didn’t come put his arm around him and say, ‘Let me take care of you.’
485
The first thing I did when I sold my book was buy a new wedding ring for my wife and asked her to marry me all over again.
486
I have an existential map. It has ‘You are here’ written all over it.
487
As I get older, the more I stay focused on the acceptance of myself and others, and choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.
488
489
Humor is to get us over terrible things.
490
When man fell from grace, he lost a kingdom, not a religion. He lost dominion over the earth; He did not lose Heaven. Therefore, mankind’s search is not for a religion or for Heaven but for his kingdom.
491
When I tell my colleagues that I remember 1969, 1974 and 1987, their eyes glaze over, but I’m afraid I do remember them, and I therefore err on the side of caution.
492
You just gotta use the sunset as a reset button and start over in the morning with every chance you get to open your eyes.
493
I didn’t want anyone to have control over how people saw me. I wanted to have that power myself.
494
495
Time flies over us, but leaves its shadow behind.
496
I’ve always taken ‘The Wizard of Oz’ very seriously, you know. I believe in the idea of the rainbow. And I’ve spent my entire life trying to get over it.
497
498
499
A great city, whose image dwells in the memory of man, is the type of some great idea. Rome represents conquest; Faith hovers over the towers of Jerusalem; and Athens embodies the pre-eminent quality of the antique world, Art.

501
502
Globalisation means many other countries are asserting themselves and trying to take over leadership. Please don’t ask Americans to let others assume the leadership of human exploration. We can do wonderful science on the Moon, and wonderful commercial things. Then we can pack up and move on to Mars.

505
I don’t look to jump over 7-foot bars: I look around for 1-foot bars that I can step over.
506
Driving a motorcycle is like flying. All your senses are alive. When I ride through Beverly Hills in the early morning, and all the sprinklers have turned off, the scents that wash over me are just heavenly. Being House is like flying, too. You’re free of the gravity of what people think.
507
The most important thing in an argument, next to being right, is to leave an escape hatch for your opponent, so that he can gracefully swing over to your side without too much apparent loss of face.
508
It’s never too late – never too late to start over, never too late to be happy.
509
510
Women deeply want men who are competent and powerful. And I don’t mean power in that they can exert tyrannical control over others. That’s not power. That’s just corruption.
511
Art is the triumph over chaos.
512
Men occasionally stumble over the truth, but most of them pick themselves up and hurry off as if nothing had happened.

Mind over mattress.
528
The world dies over and over again, but the skeleton always gets up and walks.
529
Tonight, we gather to affirm the greatness of our nation – not because of the height of our skyscrapers, or the power of our military, or the size of our economy. Our pride is based on a very simple premise, summed up in a declaration made over two hundred years ago.
530
531
He that cannot forgive others breaks the bridge over which he must pass himself; for every man has need to be forgiven.
532
Some choices we live not only once but a thousand times over, remembering them for the rest of our lives.
533
I accept I am not everyone’s cup of tea, but judge me over a period of time.
534
It is a strange desire, to seek power, and to lose liberty; or to seek power over others, and to lose power over a man’s self.
535
Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, ‘Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?’ You just can’t get stressed about the little things ’cause it’s just not worth it at the end of the day.
536
I hope that some day the practice of producing cowpox in human beings will spread over the world – when that day comes, there will be no more smallpox.
537
538
539
I have a very positive attitude in life. My insecurity, fear and need to know about tomorrow has fortunately eased. What is going to happen will happen anyway. So why break my head over it?
540
541
You not supposed to feel down over whatever happen to you. I mean, you’re supposed to use whatever happen to you as some type of upper, not a downer.
542
543
Anthropology never has had a distinct subject matter, and because it doesn’t have a real method, there’s a great deal of anxiety over what it is.

It’s OK to make mistakes. Just try not to make the same mistakes over.
552
Excellence is being able to perform at a high level over and over again. You can hit a half-court shot once. That’s just the luck of the draw. If you consistently do it… that’s excellence.

When we first announced it, we had over a million people sign up to use Robinhood Crypto in the first couple of days.

556
557
I don’t always have to sing a song. There is something besides ‘The Man That Got Away’ or ‘Over the Rainbow’ or ‘The Trolley Song.’ There’s a woman. There are three children. There’s me! There’s a lot of life going here.
558
559
No matter how corrupt and unjust a convict may be, he loves fairness more than anything else. If the people placed over him are unfair, from year to year he lapses into an embittered state characterized by an extreme lack of faith.
560
561
When all is done, human life is, at the greatest and the best, but like a froward child, that must be played with and humored a little to keep it quiet till it falls asleep, and then the care is over.
562
563
It’s going to cost trillions of dollars to rework the energy sources all over the world. Were going to have to move away from fossil fuels.
564
565
If the Devil can only make you think that you are abused or ill treated, and you begin to fret about it, and you give the Devil power over you – in the end, it is as bad as though you had done wrong yourself.
566
I don’t think that you can possibly embrace the kind of joy which one who has worked with plants and plant structures such as I have over a period of nearly 40 years, how wonderful the plant laboratory seems.
567
It’s not easy to run a social media account over a long period of time, but we love communicating with our fans every day and night.
568
When you deprive people of their right to live in dignity, to hope for a better future, to have control over their lives, when you deprive them of that choice, then you expect them to fight for these rights.
569
Some years I’m the coolest thing that ever happened, and then the next year everyone’s so over me, and I’m just so past my sell date.
570
A dream will always triumph over reality, once it is given the chance.
571
I will not be triumphed over.
572
A circle is the reflection of eternity. It has no beginning and it has no end – and if you put several circles over each other, then you get a spiral.
573
Education must lead us from the irresponsible opinion to true responsible judgment. It must lead us from chance and arbitrariness to rational clarity and intellectual order. Therefore, let us guide our students over the road of discipline from materials, through function, to creative work.
574
575
Just imagine becoming the way you used to be as a very young child, before you understood the meaning of any word, before opinions took over your mind. The real you is loving, joyful, and free. The real you is just like a flower, just like the wind, just like the ocean, just like the sun.
576
I wouldn’t trade the experiences I’ve had over the past 36 years for anything.
577
578
Since I was 16, I’ve felt a black cloud hangs over me. Since then, I have taken pills for depression.
579
580
I’ve learnt so much over time and with the experience that I’ve gained. You can’t please everyone.
581
I have two luxuries to brood over in my walks, your loveliness and the hour of my death. O that I could have possession of them both in the same minute.
582
The laziest man I ever met put popcorn in his pancakes so they would turn over by themselves.
583
I have been given the authority over you, and I am not the best of you. If I do well, help me; and if I do wrong, set me right. Sincere regard for truth.
584
If you do things to the limit, and don’t purposely go over that limit, then I think it’s fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That’s what’s important.
585
Nature’s music is never over; her silences are pauses, not conclusions.
586
Give a man a free hand and he’ll run it all over you.
587
Some kids win the lottery at birth; far too many don’t – and most people have a hard time catching up over the rest of their lives. Children raised in disadvantaged environments are not only much less likely to succeed in school or in society, but they are also much less likely to be healthy adults.
