92
I am a Christian person, and I do love the Lord, and I feel no matter who you are, what you believe, how you live your life, it’s not my place to judge. I don’t have that power.

93
94

We all know how we can be turned around by a magic place; that’s why we travel, often. And yet we all know, too, that the change cannot be guaranteed. Travel is a fool‘s paradise, Emerson reminded us, if we think that we can find anything far off that we could not find at home.
134
135
136
137
I’m very aware there are lots of other people who are just bright and working just as hard, with just the same dedication to make the world a good place.
138
139

141

I had a very happy childhood, but I wasn’t that happy a child. I liked being alone and creating characters and voices. I think that’s when your creativity is developed, when you’re young. I liked the world of the imagination because it was an easy place to go to.

175
176
177
I wanted to live the life, a different life. I didn’t want to go to the same place every day and see the same people and do the same job. I wanted interesting challenges.

Try to leave the Earth a better place than when you arrived.
192

194
I see no faults in the Church, and therefore let me be resurrected with the Saints, whether I ascend to heaven or descend to hell, or go to any other place. And if we go to hell, we will turn the devils out of doors and make a heaven of it.
195
196
197
Every time I imagine a garden in an architectural setting, it turns into a magical place. I think of gardens I have seen, that I believe I have seen, that I long to see, surrounded by simple walls, columns, arcades or the facades of buildings – sheltered places of great intimacy where I want to stay for a long time.
198
199

207
My mother’s idea of natural childbirth was giving birth without makeup. She was hyper-positive – the world is a wonderful place, rainbows and unicorns. If you said anything contrary to her, you were basically exiled.
208
Many times when you’re a tourist you can just stay on the surface and not really experience the place you’re visiting, which will probably leave you disappointed.

209
210
The ache for home lives in all of us, the safe place where we can go as we are and not be questioned.

223
Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.
224
225

226
Every good business story has a conflict and triumph at the core and a turning point where a transformation takes place.
227

The most important thing you learn as a sports photographer is anticipation – not where the action is taking place, but where it’s going to take place. Not where the subject is now, but where they’re going to be.
229
Any place that anyone can learn something useful from someone with experience is an educational institution.
230
231
My grades put me in about 5,000th place in all of South Korea. If I kept going down that path, I would’ve become a successful man with a regular job. However, I was positive I’d be number one in the country as a rapper. So I asked my mother whether she wanted to have a son who was a first-place rapper, or a 5,000th-place student.
232
We should just know that we can all create this special, safe place within ourselves that we can feel comfortable in and that doesn’t necessarily have to be with other people.

235
236
The future isn’t just a place you’ll go. It’s a place you will invent.

238
239
The best place to find God is in a garden. You can dig for him there.
240
241
242
Companies are communities. There’s a spirit of working together. Communities are not a place where a few people allow themselves to be singled out as solely responsible for success.
243
244
At times in my life the only place I have been happy is when I am on stage.
245
246
My place in history will depend on what I can do for the people and not on what the people can do for me.

252
253
Spontaneity has its time and its place.
254
There is always a place I can take someone’s curiosity and land where they end up enlightened when we’re done. That’s my challenge as an educator. No one is dumb who is curious. The people who don’t ask questions remain clueless throughout their lives.
255
There is no right time and right place for love… it can happen any time.
256
257
I always tell myself, ‘There are so many things you regret doing or eating, but you never regret a workout.’ I always feel better after a workout. I have more energy, and mentally, I’m in a better place.
258
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.
259
It’s not new that architecture can profoundly affect a place, sometimes transform it. Architecture and any art can transform a person, even save someone.
260
261
262
263
The mind is its own place and in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven.
264
All of us have a place in history. Mine is clouds.
265
What a blessing that God allows a life to come through your body, and then allows you to place that body in a body bag and take it out. I had to say that there’s a magnificent something that God has for me to do, to give me that level of completion. That level of experience. It’s unspeakable.
266
I feel like the world would be a better place if more people experienced a little bit of someone else’s experience.
267
There’s place and means for every man alive.
268
269
When you decide to get involved in a military operation in a place like Syria, you’ve got to be prepared, as we learned from Iraq and Afghanistan, to become the government, and I’m not sure any country, either the United States or I don’t hear of anyone else, who’s willing to take on that responsibility.
270
Rio’s a beautiful city, a vibrant place, special place.
271

274
275
The Renaissance took place in chaos and plague.
276
A fool and his money are lucky enough to get together in the first place.

God found me when I was at my lowest point. That was the first time in my life when I really felt like I understood who Jesus was – it was more than just knowing about Him: I felt like He met me in that time and place.
278
For Africa to me… is more than a glamorous fact. It is a historical truth. No man can know where he is going unless he knows exactly where he has been and exactly how he arrived at his present place.
279
280
The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.
281

282
283
284
Africa’s not a color – it’s a place.
285
286
If you pay attention to the world, it’s an amazing place. If you don’t, it’s whatever you think it is.
287
Gang violence in America is not a sudden problem. It has been a part of urban life for years, offering an aggressive definition and identity to those seeking a place to belong in the chaos of large metropolitan areas.
288
The suicide arrives at the conclusion that what he is seeking does not exist; the seeker concludes that what he has not yet looked in the right place.
289
A person can only be born in one place. However, he may die several times elsewhere: in the exiles and prisons, and in a homeland transformed by the occupation and oppression into a nightmare.
290
291
292
I always avoid prophesying beforehand, because it is a much better policy to prophesy after the event has already taken place.
293
Prison hosts a lot of normal people, a lot of family men who were caught in a tight situation or in a dark place.
294
295
296

304
305
306
307
I like gardening – it’s a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.
308
309
Architecture is a very dangerous job. If a writer makes a bad book, eh, people don’t read it. But if you make bad architecture, you impose ugliness on a place for a hundred years.
310
311
312
When I’m in Brazil, I’m not Brazilian at all; I am a gringo. And then when I’m in England, I’m not really English, but when I lived in Canada, I was considered too English. So I never really felt like I clicked somewhere or that I belonged to one place.
313
Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.
314

316
317
There’s nothing simple when you’re in this ‘Good Place.’
318

319

320
Before I put another notch in my lipstick case, you better make sure you put me in my place.
321
I think Hell exists on Earth. It’s a psychological state, or it can be a physical state. People who have severe mental illness are in Hell. People who have lost a loved one are in Hell. I think there are all kinds of different hells. It’s not a place you go to after you die.
322
So long as the universe had a beginning, we could suppose it had a creator. But if the universe is really completely self-contained, having no boundary or edge, it would have neither beginning nor end: it would simply be. What place, then, for a creator?
323
324
I shall never come to the Punjab again; it is such a hopeless place.
325
326
I would suggest the taxation of all property equally, whether church or corporation, exempting only the last resting place of the dead and possibly, with proper restrictions, church edifices.
327

328
329
When you get to a place where you understand that love and belonging, your worthiness, is a birthright and not something you have to earn, anything is possible.
330
331
All over the place, from the popular culture to the propaganda system, there is constant pressure to make people feel that they are helpless, that the only role they can have is to ratify decisions and to consume.
332

333
334
335
Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
336
I would like to leave the world a better place than when I entered it. I would hope that by the time I die I could have learned from the years of living and hand something down.
337

338
Without my family, I’m nothing. They kept me in the right place. I believe that I’m the luckiest person in the country when I’m with them.
339
The big problems are where people don’t realise they have one in the first place.
340
341
Football, for me, was a place where I got accepted for being a good footballer.
342
The purpose of art actually is, in many cases, to make you feel quite uncomfortable. Or at least to go to that place that’s already of discomfort inside of you and tap into that.
343
344
345
Jal Mahal, Jaipur, holds a special place for me and it is especially beautiful by night. I enjoy our stay at the old havelis in the region.
346
I think good art does come from a dark place.
347
The only reward in a public life is public progress. You stand back and say, ‘What did I get out of it?’ You look around, and the place is better, and that’s it.
348
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.
349
350
True change takes place in the imagination.
351
I hate this place. I shall hate it to my grave.
352
I’ll always be known reaching out to young people who have no one to help them out, so I help them out with a place to stay or some food to eat or some change for their pocket.
353
When you leave a beautiful place, you carry it with you wherever you go.
354
There is never just one thing that leads to success for anyone. I feel it always a combination of passion, dedication, hard work, and being in the right place at the right time.
355
356
I cannot judge a country. I fall in love with the people and the place each time I visit a new place.
357
The food and the people in Thailand never let you down and Bangkok is an astonishing place – the culture’s lovely and gentle.
358
359
It’s a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations.
360
Learn about the world, the way it works, any kind of science and anthropology, it’s really an interesting place we live in. Evolution is a really fantastic idea, even more than the idea of God I think.
361
Follow your passion. The rest will attend to itself. If I can do it, anybody can do it. It’s possible. And it’s your turn. So go for it. It’s never too late to become what you always wanted to be in the first place.
362
363
364
A lot of our creative flow comes from a place of curiosity and exploration. It often feels like we’re excavating and asking questions and not just giving answers but really just exploring.
365
366
367
Being mayor is about offering a vision for the city, putting the right people in the right place, and executing that vision.
368
When I think of immigration, I want to think of families. I want to think of unity. I want to think of a safe place, you know, free of persecution, a place where we can welcome a child that is hungry.
369
If you put out quality music, you’re always going to be in a good place.
370
371
372
Evil isn’t prejudiced. It doesn’t care what you look like; it just wants a place to rest. It’s up to you whether you give it that place.
373
A desert is a place without expectation.
374
Mathematics is a place where you can do things which you can’t do in the real world.
375
I come from a rare place. It’s a different culture, different atmosphere, police crooked. Different emojis, and when I say emojis, I mean personalities.
376
377
Coming to Australia, it was just really magical for me. It just had the wow factor of a different sort of place and, more so, just being with a family that wanted to love me and to have me, because I knew back then, before coming to Australia, there was no way of getting back home or finding my real family.
378
If Antarctica were music it would be Mozart. Art, and it would be Michelangelo. Literature, and it would be Shakespeare. And yet it is something even greater; the only place on earth that is still as it should be. May we never tame it.
379
We can make the world a better place, one butt at a time.
380
It’s an embarrassment that we don’t have a broad enough consensus among political leaders that true reform should take place. I could count the members of Congress on one hand that took these issues seriously.
381
382
383
Religion has a good place and it has its good people.
384
Art, in the first place, has to connect with yourself.
385
Let the word go forth from this time and place, to friend and foe alike, that the torch has been passed to a new generation of Americans – born in this century, tempered by war, disciplined by a hard and bitter peace.
386
387
388
Great times, beautiful place, Boulder. In fact, that’s where I proposed to Jaye when I took her back there. In the parking lot of Baseline Liquors!
389
390
A conclusion is the place where you got tired thinking.
391
If I ever found a place where I belonged, that in itself would be an identity crisis to me.
392
Sometimes you’re trying your best and you still can’t find a solution, but I try not to waste my life living in a dark place.
393
Religion was nearly dead because there was no longer real belief in future life; but something was struggling to take its place – service – social service – the ants creed, the bees creed.
394
395
It’s tough to find a place not to like in Switzerland.
396
397
Well being as there’s no other place around the place, I reckon this must be the place, I reckon.
398
399
Home is, in the end, not just the place where you sleep, but the place where you stand.
400
For a man who no longer has a homeland, writing becomes a place to live.
401
Home is the place we love best and grumble the most.
402
All issues, therefore, must be resolved through dialogue and there can be no place for violence. Negativity and rejection cannot be the path for a vibrant country that is moving to seek its destiny.
403
404
I learned to see myself and my role as a capitalist… as somebody who’s trying to harness, for myself and for society, the power of greed and the power of the will to acquire into something that makes the world a better place. That’s the version of capitalism that we want.
405
406
I’m all over the place.
407
408
409
With all the globalisation that has taken place, countries are a lot more interdependent and therefore ‘coupled.’
410
Positive energy knows no boundaries. If everyone were to spread positive energy on the Internet, the world would be a much better place.
411
412
Open your refrigerator door, and you summon forth more light than the total amount enjoyed by most households in the 18th century. The world at night, for much of history, was a very dark place indeed.
413
414
415
416
417
Music took me from a real dark place to a real bright one.
418
If you took some famous religious leader, for example, and said it would be nice to clone them indefinitely so you have a dynasty of leaders, my own guess would be that each time the cloning takes place, they would become more and more defective, presumably mentally defective and subsequently worse.
419
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other’s worth.
420
421
It takes a long time to free oneself from chatter – goals, social media, image, persona. And if you’re able to move through in that way, you can actually start trying to create from a different place.
422
As a long-time registered Democrat who started voting in the year of Watergate, I resent being taken for a ride to the place where anything goes and nothing matters. And especially where nothing matters less than clear thinking and straight talk.
423
What takes place in the Security Council more closely resembles a mugging than either a political debate or an effort at problem-solving.
424
At Columbia Law School, my professor of constitutional law and federal courts, Gerald Gunther, was determined to place me in a federal court clerkship, despite what was then viewed as a grave impediment: On graduation, I was the mother of a 4-year-old child.
425
426
I simply do not think that yelling, swearing, threatening or belittling will get you to the place you want to be faster than kindness, understanding, patience and a little willingness to compromise.
427
428
When you’re wide open, the world is a good place.
429
If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place.
430
431
Talent is not enough. You need to be in the right place at the right moment.
432
433
434
When a marriage works, nothing on earth can take its place.
435
All the fossils that we have ever found have always been found in the appropriate place in the time sequence. There are no fossils in the wrong place.
436
Imagination is a very potent thing, and in the uneducated often usurps the place of genuine experience.
437
Never stop fighting until you arrive at your destined place – that is, the unique you. Have an aim in life, continuously acquire knowledge, work hard, and have perseverance to realise the great life.
438
We live in a very chaotic world that sometimes we – it just seems like a mess. One of the reasons why we listen to music, and to great classical music in particular, is that everything is in an order and in a place and has a beauty that you see in nature, that you see and that people look for when they look for God.
439
No one was more important than my mom and dad. I know they are watching from a place up in heaven here today to make sure all their kids are doing good.
440
I think the world has a place for gay superheroes, certainly.
441
It’s my destiny to make a place where people can come and be happy: a garden of joy.
442
443
A studio is like a meditation room where music is created. And a live performance is the place where the creation of the studio is taken ahead. I love both.
444
Theater is a verb before it is a noun, an act before it is a place.
445
446
A hospital is no place to be sick.
447
I heckled somebody at the U.S. Open once. And you know, tennis, it’s not a good place for that.
448
You get to a certain age and you start comparing and being uncomfortable in one’s body. And then you get to a place where you start to love yourself, accept yourself, celebrate and honor yourself.
449
To name something is to wait for it in the place you think it will pass.
450
451
There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see.
452
453
I love Canada. It makes a nice hat for America. When America runs out of water, it’s the first place I’ll go.
454
455
456
The problem of the minimum dwelling is that of establishing the elementary minimum of space, air, light, and heat required by man in order that he be able to fully develop his life functions without experiencing limitations due to his dwelling, i.e. a minimum modus vivendi in place of a modus non moriendi.
457
Hollywood is a place where people from Iowa mistake each other for stars.
458
459
Science is a perception of the world around us. Science is a place where what you find in nature pleases you.
460
A belief which leaves no place for doubt is not a belief; it is a superstition.
461
It is far more difficult to be simple than to be complicated; far more difficult to sacrifice skill and easy execution in the proper place, than to expand both indiscriminately.
462
A desk is a dangerous place from which to view the world.
463
Los Angeles feels empty and overrated. I struggle with it as a holiday destination. It’s the sort of place where you need to know some locals, otherwise it just feels so empty.
464
Today, the degradation of the inner life is symbolized by the fact that the only place sacred from interruption is the private toilet.
465
Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.
466
To me, the greatest invention of my lifetime is the laptop computer and the fact that I can be working on a book and be in an airport lounge, in a hotel room, and continue working; I fire up my laptop, and I’m in exactly the same place I was when I left home – that, to me, is a miracle.
467
Nietzsche claimed that his genius was in his nostrils and I think that is a very excellent place for it to be.
468
There’s a time and a place for everything. There’s a time to sleep, wake up, there’s a time to be graceful, and there’s a time to be aggressive.
469
470
Treat your friends as you do your best pictures, and place them in their best light.
471
472
One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.
473
474
Together we are stronger, our voices louder, and the synergy of our actions more powerful. Together we can prevail on the Navy to put commonsense safeguards in place, like requiring its ships to avoid the most sensitive marine mammal habitats and to stop their training exercises during peak migrations.
475
476
477
478
The most important single central fact about a free market is that no exchange takes place unless both parties benefit.
479
480
Remember not only to say the right thing in the right place, but far more difficult still, to leave unsaid the wrong thing at the tempting moment.
481
The revolution that takes place in your head, nobody will ever see that.
482
483
I am obsessed with beauty. I want everything to be perfect, and of course it isn’t. And that’s a tough place to be because you’re never satisfied.
484
While I appreciate what goes into making high-end Indian dishes, street food has a special place in my heart. Being raised in India, street food played an integral part in my life while growing up.
485
Language, identity, place, home: these are all of a piece – just different elements of belonging and not-belonging.
486
The White House isn’t the place to learn how to deal with international crisis, the balance of power, war and peace, and the economic future of the next generation.
487
The wise man should restrain his senses like the crane and accomplish his purpose with due knowledge of his place, time and ability.
488
A Canadian is a Canadian is a Canadian. And you devalue the citizenship of every Canadian in this place and in this country when you break down and make it conditional for anyone.
489
490
Wherever you go, your memories from the place you grew up in always remain special.
491
492
There are no shortcuts to any place worth going.
493
494
A place for everything, and everything in its place.
495
The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive.
496
497
Hard times are when a man has worked at a job for 30 years – 30 years – and they give him a watch, kick him in the butt, and say, ‘Hey, a computer took your place, daddy.’ That’s hard times!
498
Neither comprehension nor learning can take place in an atmosphere of anxiety.
499
Art to me is a humanitarian act and I believe that there is a responsibility that art should somehow be able to effect mankind, to make the word a better place.
500
Morocco is such a beautiful place. It’s incredibly beautiful. And also it is captivating place because for a writer, you feel that you make impact. I mean, when I write something in the press, the day after in the fish market, people will be discussing it.
501
A babe in the house is a well-spring of pleasure, a messenger of peace and love, a resting place for innocence on earth, a link between angels and men.
502
Singapore has always held a special place in my heart.
503
Feelings or emotions are the universal language and are to be honored. They are the authentic expression of who you are at your deepest place.
504
505
Hong Kong might be a small place, but its people make it unique. The iconic images of skyscrapers in this bustling metropolis are famous around the world, but it is the people of Hong Kong, standing up for their city on the streets, who make it truly great.
506
It’s a good place when all you have is hope and not expectations.
507
508
Compassion has no place in the natural order of the world which operates on the basis of necessity. Compassion opposes this order and is therefore best thought of as being in some way supernatural.
509
There is no room for second place. There is only one place in my game and that is first place. I have finished second twice in my time at Green Bay and I never want to finish second again.
510
I believe the House of Representatives is exactly the place where immigration reform should take place. Our entire House is elected every two years. We’re the people closest to the people.
511
512
There’s a special place in heaven for caregivers.
513
While the crash only took place six months ago, I am convinced we have now passed the worst, and with continued unity of effort, we shall rapidly recover. There is one certainty of the future of a people of the resources, intelligence and character of the people of the United States – that is, prosperity.
514
515
A pub can be a magical place.
516
Doubts never end. If one doubt is removed, another takes its place. It is like removing the leaves of a tree one by one. Even if all the leaves are clipped off, new ones grow. The tree itself must be uprooted.
517
When time and space and change converge, we find place. We arrive in Place when we resolve things. Place is peace of mind and understanding. Place is knowledge of self. Place is resolution.
518
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.
519
520
Death is such a strange thing. One minute you’re here and then just gone. You’d think there would be an anteroom, a place where you could be visited before you go.
521
It takes a long time to learn that a courtroom is the last place in the world for learning the truth.
522
I felt I was in a good place with Oklahoma.
523
524
I dream of an India that is prosperous, strong and caring. An India, that regains a place of honour in the comity of great nations.
525
The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.
526
527
Time, place, and action may with pains be wrought, but genius must be born; and never can be taught.
528
Find a place inside where there’s joy, and the joy will burn out the pain.
529
530
When a place gets crowded enough to require ID’s, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.
531
My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better place – police, firefighters and members of our armed forces.
532
Before Hurricane Katrina, I always felt like I could come back home. And home was a real place, and also it had this mythical weight for me. Because of the way that Hurricane Katrina ripped everything away, it cast that idea in doubt.
533
I fell in love with the Maldives. It’s a beautiful place!
534
Belgium is such a beautiful place with so much history and charm.
535
At last, after completing year 12, I failed the great final examination, repeated the following year and failed again even more dismally than before. This was not an easy thing to do. My mates did the simple thing in the first place and mainly passed with honours and went on to have remarkably successful lives.
536
537
The connection to place, to the land, the wind, the sun, stars, the moon… it sounds romantic, but it’s true – the visceral experience of motion, of moving through time on some amazing machine – a few cars touch on it, but not too many compared to motorcycles. I always felt that any motorcycle journey was special.
538
It’s not how you play the game, it’s how you place the blame.
539
540
Oh, how great peace and quietness would he possess who should cut off all vain anxiety and place all his confidence in God.
541
542
The only place success comes before work is in the dictionary.
543
We feel very honored to have been offered the responsibility to host this great event, Berlin is a wonderful city that is developing at a tremendous rate, and this decision means that we can now prepare to welcome the world’s best athletes to a fascinating place.
544
545
I didn’t lose. I got second. That’s still winning. How could I be unhappy with second place? There are a million people who would love to be in my position.
546
Confidence cannot find a place wherein to rest in safety.
547
548
549
I may not have the gun that Jesse James had when he was gunned down, but if there’s a piece identified with him and the same place, then I get interested; it’s always excited me.
550
I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.
551
It is said an artist spends their whole life trying to get to the place where their heart was first opened up. ‘Rent’ was that place for me.
552
Football in itself is a grand game for developing a lad physically and also morally, for he learns to play with good temper and unselfishness, to play in his place and ‘play the game,’ and these are the best of training for any game of life.
553
Ants are good citizens, they place group interests first.
554
555
Unless India stands up to the world, no one will respect us. In this world, fear has no place. Only strength respects strength.
556
If a man cannot be a Christian in the place where he is, he cannot be a Christian anywhere.
557
I’m proud to partner with organizations that place an emphasis on and share my interest in giving back to the community. RBC has a rich history of doing this through their sponsorship of golf and the extensive ambassadorial program they have in place.
558
What drew me to politics in the first place was the fact that I wanted to have a place to take a stand and use my voice to express what I believed in. But I’ve no longer got any political aspirations. I feel that as a politician, fifty per cent of people would hate you before you even left the house.
559
Everything that makes man’s life worthwhile – family, work, education, a place to rear one’s children and a place to rest one’s head – all this depends on the decisions of government; all can be swept away by a government which does not heed the demands of its people, and I mean all of its people.
560
‘Good English’ is whatever educated people talk; so that what is good in one place or time would not be so in another.
561
The world is a strange and wonderful place.
562
563
564
A city is a place where there is no need to wait for next week to get the answer to a question, to taste the food of any country, to find new voices to listen to and familiar ones to listen to again.
565
The truth is, you cannot run a political campaign like a tech startup. Technology is a field that fetishizes disruption. The old ways are suspect, and we place an almost irrational trust on new tools. That’s fine for developing games, but it was a failing playbook for politics.
566
The problem with winter sports is that – follow me closely here – they generally take place in winter.
567
568
In matters of conscience, the law of the majority has no place.
569
570
571
Hate has no place in the house of God.
572
573
I love the Country Music Hall of Fame. I don’t think it’s just a hall of fame and it’s not just a museum. It’s a schoolhouse. It’s a place where people from all across the world can come and learn about this great genre that we’re making a living out of.
574
It is difficult to obtain the friendship of a cat. It is a philosophical animal… one that does not place its affections thoughtlessly.
575
I left Goldman Sachs. I was thinking about going to another Wall Street place. I didn’t want to do that. That was crazy. After you work on Wall Street, it’s a choice: would you rather work at McDonald‘s or on the sell side? I would choose McDonald’s over the sell side.
576
You cannot simply put something new into a place. You have to absorb what you see around you, what exists on the land, and then use that knowledge along with contemporary thinking to interpret what you see.
577
Accordingly, globalization is not only something that will concern and threaten us in the future, but something that is taking place in the present and to which we must first open our eyes.
578
579
580
Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.
581
When I was a kid, monsters made me feel that I could fit somewhere, even if it was… an imaginary place where the grotesque and the abnormal were celebrated and accepted.
582
How do you change the world? Bring people together. Where is the easiest big place to bring people together? In the work environment.
583
The basis for all human relationships and where we derive our greatest strength and power, trust is single-handedly the most powerful source of positive energy and, once in place, unlocks a freedom and peace to explore.
584
I have the same feeling when I walk in a very beautiful place that I have when I play and it goes right.
585
Murder is unique in that it abolishes the party it injures, so that society has to take the place of the victim and on his behalf demand atonement or grant forgiveness; it is the one crime in which society has a direct interest.
586
587
I’m mortified to be on the stage, but then again, it’s the only place where I’m happy.
588
Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?
589
We stress humanity, and this is done at considerable cost. We can’t have a lot of dramatics that other shows get away with – promiscuity, greed, jealousy. None of those have a place in ‘Star Trek.’
590
You can’t assume any place you go is private because the means of surveillance are becoming so affordable and so invisible.
591
I think you have to be much more secure and much less angry to trust the simple. You’ve got to be in a pretty good place to trust those simple, obvious answers and, most important, to use them.
592
I prayed about it consistently – that God would direct me in the right path and that, when it would happen, I would know that I’m in the right place.
593
One thing I could tell you is that I’m all over the place.
594
Sometimes idealism and all that make believe makes the world a better place.
595
The more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.
596
Architecture should speak of its time and place, but yearn for timelessness.
597
The golden rule for every business man is this: ‘Put yourself in your customer‘s place.’
598
Switzerland is a place where they don’t like to fight, so they get people to do their fighting for them while they ski and eat chocolate.
599
When you give everyone a voice and give people power, the system usually ends up in a really good place. So, what we view our role as, is giving people that power.
600
601
602
603
604
There are days where I lose track of time, of place, of everything else, because I’ve been transported to another universe.
605
606
I was away from the front lines for a while this spring, living with other troops, and considerable fighting took place while I was gone. When I got ready to return to my old friends at the front I wondered if I would sense any change in them.
607
It is hard to believe that a man is telling the truth when you know that you would lie if you were in his place.
608
The absolute transformation of everything that we ever thought about music will take place within 10 years, and nothing is going to be able to stop it. I see absolutely no point in pretending that it’s not going to happen. I’m fully confident that copyright, for instance, will no longer exist in 10 years.
609
Be kind, don’t judge, and have respect for others. If we can all do this, the world would be a better place. The point is to teach this to the next generation.
610
There is a time for departure even when there’s no certain place to go.
611
612
I’m happy, I’m in a good place, I’m looking forward to my future.
613
I understand now that my soul is my power, not perfection or my ego. I continue to teach this to my children, despite their glamorous careers. If we can maintain our core values, the exteriors take second place and become a gift, a source of gratitude.
614
There is a saying that every nice piece of work needs the right person in the right place at the right time.
615
616
My happy place is my bedroom. I love it.
617
618
I wish it, I command it. Let my will take the place of a reason.
619
620
