Years of cultural programming have taught us to love some animals while eating others, when in all reality, all animals are sentient beings with the capacity to feel, both physically and emotionally. Every day, I have the choice to live a life of compassion that not only saves animals but helps the environment.

You may be able to read Bernard Shaw’s plays, you may be able to quote Shakespeare or Voltaire or some new philosopher; but if you in yourself are not intelligent, if you are not creative, what is the point of this education?

The six of us gathered at my house, and we walked to the polls. I’ll never forget it. Not a Negro was on the streets, and when we got to the courthouse, the clerk said he wanted to talk with us. When we got into his office, some 15 or 20 armed white men surged in behind us – men I had grown up with, had played with.
9
Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. When you feed yourself what your body needs when it needs it, that’s love. So give your bod some TLC and sit down and enjoy a good, substantial breakfast.

11
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.
12
Brand is just a perception, and perception will match reality over time. Sometimes it will be ahead, other times it will be behind. But brand is simply a collective impression some have about a product.

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.

‘Educational‘ refers to the process, not the object. Although, come to think of it, some of my teachers could easily have been replaced by a cheeseburger.
19
Steve Irwin did wonderful conservation work but I was uncomfortable about some of his stunts. Even if animals aren’t aware that you are not treating them with respect, the viewers are.

Instead of being presented with stereotypes by age, sex, color, class, or religion, children must have the opportunity to learn that within each range, some people are loathsome and some are delightful.
27
28
There’s beauty everywhere. There are amazing things happening everywhere, you just have to be able to open your eyes and witness it. Some days, that’s harder than others.

32
Sometimes it’s like watching a train wreck. You’re uncomfortable, but you just can’t help yourself. Some of those so-called bad interviews actually turned into compelling television.
33
34
Optimism is normal, but some fortunate people are more optimistic than the rest of us. If you are genetically endowed with an optimistic bias, you hardly need to be told that you are a lucky person – you already feel fortunate.
35
36
I know I may have done some bad things, but I’m not a bad person.
37
To have long term success as a coach or in any position of leadership, you have to be obsessed in some way.
38
39
40
By all means use some time to be alone.
41
42
Yesterday I was thinking about the whole idea of genius and creative people, and the notion that if you create some magical art, somehow that exempts you from having to pay attention to the small things.
43
44
45
Coincidence is a recognized element in ‘real life.’ All of us have anecdotes about those times when, by the merest coincidence, we avoided some disaster or stumbled onto some wonderful experience.
46
It is a strange fact that freedom and equality, the two basic ideas of democracy, are to some extent contradictory. Logically considered, freedom and equality are mutually exclusive, just as society and the individual are mutually exclusive.
47
Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.

51
A liberal to me is one who – and it suits some of the dictionary definitions – is unbeholden to any specific belief or party or group or person, but makes up his or her mind on the basis of the facts and the presentation of those facts at the time. That defines what I am.

I don’t know what’s the matter with people: they don’t learn by understanding; they learn by some other way – by rote, or something. Their knowledge is so fragile!
61
Some people drink from the fountain of knowledge, others just gargle.
62
63
If it weren’t for the fact that the TV set and the refrigerator are so far apart, some of us wouldn’t get any exercise at all.
64
I think if there’s a great depression there might be some hope.
65
We’ve definitely had our share of ups and downs as a group, and there were times we’ve faced some pretty big challenges, but we were able to get through these times, which allowed our bond to grow stronger.
66
High school is what kind of grows you into the person you are. I have great memories, good and bad, some learning experiences and some that I’ll take with me the rest of my life.
67

71
Life is about having a good time, and it was a good time. We did some things well and some things poorly, but that was always the case.
72
73
74
I think the high-tech industry is used to developing new things very quickly. It’s the Silicon Valley way of doing business: You either move very quickly and you work hard to improve your product technology, or you get destroyed by some other company.
75
76
I like to be a free spirit. Some don’t like that, but that’s the way I am.
77
I am sure that no man can derive more pleasure from money or power than I do from seeing a pair of basketball goals in some out of the way place.
78
79
80
There are just some really beautiful people in the world. When you’re walking down the street, or you’re at a restaurant, someone catches your eye because they have their own look. It goes way beyond what they’re wearing – into their mannerisms, the way they smile, or just the way they hold themselves.
81
Every day or two, I strolled to the village to hear some of the gossip which is incessantly going on there, circulating either from mouth to mouth, or from newspaper to newspaper, and which, taken in homeopathic doses, was really as refreshing in its way as the rustle of leaves and the peeping of frogs.
82

85
I know of no single formula for success. But over the years I have observed that some attributes of leadership are universal and are often about finding ways of encouraging people to combine their efforts, their talents, their insights, their enthusiasm and their inspiration to work together.

90
Let us make a special effort to stop communicating with each other, so we can have some conversation.
91
Disinformation is more than just lying: it’s the denial and twisting of reality in order to present some desired image to the rest of the world.
92
93
94
At some point, I don’t want to have any obligation. And just chill out.
95
Life can be boring unless you put some effort into it.
96
It was wrong to capture wild animals and confine them in captivity for people to go and gawk at them. And that’s basically how zoos got started. But once you do that, and once you have animals that have been bred in captivity, you’re really stuck with them in some sense. You can’t return them to the wild.
97
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
98
The distinction between children and adults, while probably useful for some purposes, is at bottom a specious one, I feel. There are only individual egos, crazy for love.
99
Nobody really knows what they’re doing. Some are just better at pretending like they do.
100
101
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.
102
103
104
I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don’t find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.
105
106
107
I love me some me.
108
109
We control the world basically because we are the only animals that can cooperate flexibly in very large numbers. And if you examine any large-scale human cooperation, you will always find that it is based on some fiction like the nation, like money, like human rights.
110
One of the common failings among honorable people is a failure to appreciate how thoroughly dishonorable some other people can be, and how dangerous it is to trust them.
111
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.
112
113
I wish you could see some of the girls I have genuinely had crushes on in my life. They’re not the girls you would assume.
114
I’m having a great time. It’s like I’m on some ridiculous big roller coaster not knowing what’s happening next, but just having a great time on the ride.
115
There are amazingly wonderful people in all walks of life; some familiar to us and others not. Stretch yourself and really get to know people. People are in many ways one of our greatest treasures.
116
117

121
122
We are all born mad. Some remain so.
123
124
125
126
127
128
I thank God for my failures. Maybe not at the time but after some reflection. I never feel like a failure just because something I tried has failed.
129
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
130
Some people are born on third base and go through life thinking they hit a triple.
131
132
133
134
135
136
137
Some people like you, some people don’t. In the end you just have to be yourself.
138
139
140
In the final analysis, the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions, no longer asking why something happened, but asking how we will respond, what we intend to do now that it happened.
141
142
An institution or reform movement that is not selfish, must originate in the recognition of some evil that is adding to the sum of human suffering, or diminishing the sum of happiness.
143
Some days you’re the fire hydrant, and some days you’re the dog.
144
There is no formula for success. All you need to do is put in your best and be blessed with some good luck as well.
145
Some things are so unexpected that no one is prepared for them.
146
At some point in every person’s life, you will need an assisted medical device – whether it’s your glasses, your contacts, or as you age and you have a hip replacement or a knee replacement or a pacemaker. The prosthetic generation is all around us.
147
People spend so much time in their cars, and it’s a legal way to have fun by speeding a little bit or testing yourself a little bit, and you get to invest in your car. For some people, it becomes their baby.
148
149
Classes struggle, some classes triumph, others are eliminated. Such is history; such is the history of civilization for thousands of years.
150
The world is full of willing people; some willing to work, the rest willing to let them.
151
152
153
154
All animals are equal, but some animals are more equal than others.
155
Maybe some people think that it’s all about the hype, about the fame, but it’s not. It’s all about being the best. It’s all about challenging myself everyday.
156
Not everything has a happy ending, and not everything has an ending. Some things just kind of dribble away or cut off abruptly.
157
158
159
We are all living together on a single planet, which is threatened by our own actions. And if you don’t have some kind of global cooperation, nationalism is just not on the right level to tackle the problems, whether it’s climate change or whether it’s technological disruption.
160
161
162
163
164
165
166
167
168
Read some good, heavy, serious books just for discipline: Take yourself in hand and master yourself.
169
170
You should take some responsibility for the way you present yourself. But you should not be hung up on your looks, whether you are ugly or handsome, because it isn’t an achievement.
171
172
The only good political movement I’ve seen lately was Occupy Wall Street. They had no leaders, which was genius. But unfortunately it always ends up with some hippy playing a flute.
173
Failure at some point in your life is inevitable, but giving up is unforgivable.
174
At times, when I reach my saturation point, I go to some random place and throw my phone away.
175
176
Be able to delegate, because there are some things that you just can’t do by yourself.
177
178
179
There are some people who, if they don’t already know, you can’t tell ’em.
180
Nobody realizes that some people expend tremendous energy merely to be normal.
181
182
Globalization means we have to re-examine some of our ideas, and look at ideas from other countries, from other cultures, and open ourselves to them. And that’s not comfortable for the average person.
183
This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us; to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves; to act in such a way that some part of us lives on.
184
185
186
187
There have been a lot of stories written about me, some of them fantastically distorted.
188
189
I truly believe that everything that we do and everyone that we meet is put in our path for a purpose. There are no accidents; we’re all teachers – if we’re willing to pay attention to the lessons we learn, trust our positive instincts and not be afraid to take risks or wait for some miracle to come knocking at our door.
190
191
192
193
So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
194
I learned a long time ago that some people would rather die than forgive. It’s a strange truth, but forgiveness is a painful and difficult process. It’s not something that happens overnight. It’s an evolution of the heart.
195
196
197
Look, I can’t dim my shine just because some people feel uncomfortable.
198
199
To live is to suffer, to survive is to find some meaning in the suffering.
200
201
202
Some people never go crazy, What truly horrible lives they must live.
203
You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt.
204
Blockchain’s a very interesting technology that will have some very profound applications for society over the years to come.
205
My school days were the happiest days of my life; which should give you some indication of the misery I’ve endured over the past twenty-five years.
206
207
208
209
God has been very good to me, for I never dwell upon anything wrong which a person has done, so as to remember it afterwards. If I do remember it, I always see some other virtue in that person.
210
I wasn’t real quick, and I wasn’t real strong. Some guys will just take off and it’s like, whoa. So I beat them with my mind and my fundamentals.
211
212
The influence of social media is unbelievable. It’s sad to see – it’s a fake life that some people live.
213
I think there ought to be some serious discussion by smart people, really smart people, about whether or not proliferation of things like The Smoking Gun and TMZ and YouTube and the whole celebrity culture is healthy.
214
215
If this is coffee, please bring me some tea; but if this is tea, please bring me some coffee.
216
Some people are born mediocre, some people achieve mediocrity, and some people have mediocrity thrust upon them.
217
218
At some stage in most people’s lives, things turn upside down, and nothing is as you expected it to be.
219
220
221
222
223
224
225
226
227
A sense of humor… is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.
228
229
230
Wherever my story takes me, however dark and difficult the theme, there is always some hope and redemption, not because readers like happy endings, but because I am an optimist at heart. I know the sun will rise in the morning, that there is a light at the end of every tunnel.
231
The only thing that should surprise us is that there are still some things that can surprise us.
232
233
Times may have changed, but there are some things that are always with us – loneliness is one of them.
234
To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You’ve got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.
235
We have tolerance, respect, and equality in our written laws but not in the hearts of some of our people.
236
237
In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord‘s vengeance, I myself don’t like it.
238
We will always have STEM with us. Some things will drop out of the public eye and will go away, but there will always be science, engineering, and technology. And there will always, always be mathematics.
239
I remember I took a music course in junior year of high school, and some girl brought in ‘Teardrops On My Guitar,’ and she was like, ‘Isn’t this song great?’ And everyone was like, ‘Who’s Taylor Swift?’ And now, every time I listen to Taylor Swift, I remember that moment.
240
241
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.
242
Well first of all, tell me, is there some society you know of that doesn’t run on greed? You think Russia doesn’t run on greed? You think China doesn’t run on greed? What is greed?
243
244
245
Life is unpredictable, and I feel, to some extent, lighting and cinematography should be a reflection of that.
246
Life is a terminal condition. Were all going to die. Cancer patients just have more information, but we all, in some ways, wait for permission to live.
247
248
249
It is of practical value to learn to like yourself. Since you must spend so much time with yourself you might as well get some satisfaction out of the relationship.
250
251
252
253
Neither sex, without some fertilization of the complimentary characters of the other, is capable of the highest reaches of human endeavor.
254
255
I should like to know if, taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle, you begin making exceptions to it, where will you stop? If one man says it does not mean a Negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?
256
Some people regard discipline as a chore. For me, it is a kind of order that sets me free to fly.
257
Some girls cannot go to school because of the child labor and child trafficking.
258
I don’t have much patience for people who are self-conscious about the act of eating, and it irritates me when someone denies themselves the pleasure of a bloody hunk of steak or a pungent French cheese because of some outdated nonsense about what’s appropriate or attractive.
259
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.
260
Maybe you’re not perfect, but you’re willing to actually look at yourself and take some kind of accountability. That’s a change. It might not mean that you can turn everything around, but I think there’s something incredibly hopeful about that.
261
When I read things like the foundations of capitalism are shattering, I’m like, maybe we need that. Maybe we need some time where we’re walking around with a donkey with pots clanging on the sides.
262
263
I think everyone understands grief, the journey it takes us on, whether it’s the death of a loved one, the end of a relationship, a disappointment. Some people don’t deal with it, the power of it. Some do. Some feel the weight of it and it informs their choices. I’ve had to open up to grief in different contexts.
264
I regret to say that we of the FBI are powerless to act in cases of oral-genital intimacy, unless it has in some way obstructed interstate commerce.
265
As it stands, motherhood is a sort of wilderness through which each woman hacks her way, part martyr, part pioneer; a turn of events from which some women derive feelings of heroism, while others experience a sense of exile from the world they knew.
266
Some things have to be believed to be seen.
267
268
I eat about two meals a day vegan, is my rule of thumb. When I’m traveling, all bets are off, but I don’t cook meat in the house. I rarely cook eggs. I never use milk. But when I go out to eat for a special treat, I’ll have some meat. But I know, personally, that’s the best I’m ever going to do in my life.
269
270
If you look at the history of innovation, the innovations coming through the defence department have been some of the most important innovations ever. Little things like drones, sensors, and the Internet of Things are defence-type initiatives, but the big one is the Internet itself.
271
When we recognise the virtues, the talent, the beauty of Mother Earth, something is born in us, some kind of connection, love is born.
272
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.
273
274
Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away.
275
There are some people so addicted to exaggeration that they can’t tell the truth without lying.
276
Great men are like eagles, and build their nest on some lofty solitude.
277
278
You can’t please everyone. When you’re too focused on living up to other people’s standards, you aren’t spending enough time raising your own. Some people may whisper, complain and judge. But for the most part, it’s all in your head. People care less about your actions than you think. Why? They have their own problems!
279
I usually find myself hiking in a place that not a lot of people go hiking, just trying to find some solitude. I like being out in the middle of nowhere. Not always, but it’s a good place to go to just reflect and think, and it’s something I really enjoy.
280
281
Some things are best left to memories.
282
I feel that it is a social responsibility for us who are better educated to give back some to the society in whatever service we can help.
283
284
285
286
287
It is the nature of truth in general, as of some ores in particular, to be richest when most superficial.
288
289
Capital as such is not evil; it is its wrong use that is evil. Capital in some form or other will always be needed.
290
291
292
You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.
293
Into each life some rain must fall.
294
Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the average. His ego approximates to that of the psychotic in some part or other and to a greater or lesser extent.
295
296
I do think there should be some regulations on AI.
297
Globalization is not a monolithic force but an evolving set of consequences – some good, some bad and some unintended. It is the new reality.
298
Thy fate is the common fate of all; Into each life some rain must fall.
299
300
Old age may have its limitations and challenges, but in spite of them, our latter years can be some of the most rewarding and fulfilling of our lives.
301
In order to get beyond racism, we must first take account of race. There is no other way. And in order to treat some persons equally, we must treat them differently.
302
Do all children have some inherent right to live in America if they have done nothing wrong? If not, then why should the children of illegal immigrants have such a right?
303
304
Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don’t normally use.
305
Right now I just want to chill for a while. Take a hiatus from all the craziness. To clean my house, see my family. Just see some movies and pick some strawberries.
306
Some people revel in taking risks, and some go through life taking no risks at all.
307
Some things are better than sex, and some are worse, but there’s nothing exactly like it.
308
We are living in a computer-programmed reality, and the only clue we have to it is when some variable is changed, and some alteration in reality occurs. We have the overwhelming impression that we were reliving the present – deja vu.
309
America does not need another political campaign based on denial and avoidance of some of our real problems. It needs a crusade to reform and renew our country, its institutions and political system.
310
Political chaos is connected with the decay of language… one can probably bring about some improvement by starting at the verbal end.
311
312
Some people are just stuck in their ways and have been brainwashed into believing that credit cards and debt are an unavoidable part of life.
313
314
315
316
Just like the Internet disrupted the publishing industry, we’re going to see Bitcoin micropayments creating some very interesting opportunities for pay-as-you-go, pay-based-on-time online businesses and, frankly, some risks as well to the traditional business model as to how things get sold online.
317
There are very few people who are going to look into the mirror and say, ‘That person I see is a savage monster;’ instead, they make up some construction that justifies what they do.
318
I feel really humbled and really grateful to have the opportunities that I’ve had over the past couple of years to work with some amazing people. I think, at this point, I just want to put my head down and grind and do honest work.
319
Every new beginning comes from some other beginning’s end.
320
321
322
Some cause happiness wherever they go; others whenever they go.
323
I mean the whole thing about meditation and yoga is about connecting to the higher part of yourself, and then seeing that every living thing is connected in some way.
324
I hope there will be some good news and some good profits, and people will realize we have a lot of outstanding executives, and a lot of companies that are doing a good job, and those are good companies to invest in.
325
326
The Internet is so big, so powerful and pointless that for some people it is a complete substitute for life.
327
328
329
Some days I’m up, some days I’m down. But I think one thing that does get you moving is hope.
330
331
I might have some character traits that some might see as innocence or naive. That’s because I discovered peace and happiness in my soul. And with this knowledge, I also see the beauty of human life.
332
333
I don’t think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.
334
Some people have been kind enough to call me a fine artist. I’ve always called myself an illustrator. I’m not sure what the difference is. All I know is that whatever type of work I do, I try to give it my very best. Art has been my life.
335
If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
336
337
Well, any good comeback needs some true believers.
338
339
340
The solar system should be viewed as our backyard, not as some sequence of destinations that we do one at a time.
341
Some people say my humor focuses too much on stereotypes. It doesn’t. It focuses on facts.
342
There are some important differences between me and Tony Stark, like I have five kids, so I spend more time going to Disneyland than parties.
343
344
You show me anybody that’s great in anything they do, I’ll show you somebody that’s persevered, demonstrated that mental toughness to overcome some obstacles and adversity.
345
346
The U.S. has some of the most significant income inequality in the developed world, yet people seem routinely to underestimate that fact.
347
I believe that every single one of us, celebrity or not, has a responsibility to get involved in trying to make a difference in the world. Our generation faces many challenges, some of which were passed on to us by the past generations, but it’s up to us to find solutions today so that we don’t keep passing our problems on.
348
349
350
Age is not measured by years. Nature does not equally distribute energy. Some people are born old and tired while others are going strong at seventy.
351
352
353
Some say the world will end in fire, some say in ice.
354
The world, we are told, was made especially for man – a presumption not supported by all the facts. A numerous class of men are painfully astonished whenever they find anything, living or dead, in all God’s universe, which they cannot eat or render in some way what they call useful to themselves.
355

Be a yardstick of quality. Some people aren’t used to an environment where excellence is expected.
361
362
When things are going bad, there’s going to be some good that’s going to come from it.
363
Focus on solving real problems and not on making money. There will be enough takers for your solutions. You will help make lives of some people better, and money will follow.
364
365
Let your joy be in your journey – not in some distant goal.
366
Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that.
367
368
369
370
371
When you invest your time, you make a goal and a decision of something that you want to accomplish. Whether it’s make good grades in school, be a good athlete, be a good person, go down and do some community service and help somebody who’s in need, whatever it is you choose to do, you’re investing your time in that.
372
373
Some people awaken spiritually without ever coming into contact with any meditation technique or any spiritual teaching. They may awaken simply because they can’t stand the suffering anymore.
374
375
The world breaks everyone, and afterward, some are strong at the broken places.
376
377
Many of us are more capable than some of us… but none of us is as capable as all of us!
378
We’re on some path that’s set since we’re born, but I still believe we can change some things. So I believe in my faith, but I still don’t believe in my fate.
379
380
Part of the problem is there are people in Washington, D.C. in positions of power to whom the border is just a nuisance, and I think some of them believe that illegal immigration is a moral good. It is not. It undermines legal immigration.
381
There will always be some corners which are challenging and more dangerous than others.
382
What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.
383
384
One lives with so many bad deeds on one’s conscience and some good intentions in one’s heart.
385
386
387
388
389
390
391
We can’t change anything until we get some fresh ideas, until we begin to see things differently.
392
There are some days when I think I’m going to die from an overdose of satisfaction.
393
394
Some stories are true that never happened.
395
396
It’s really important to have balance, spend some time in nature, go to a few parties, enjoy my friends and really chill out.
397
398
I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
399
I am not someone who believes we should build a fence around our country but I do believe there ought to be some fairness with respect to the rules of this globalization.
400
401
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can’t eat it.
402
403
You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer.
404
405
Telephone, n. An invention of the devil which abrogates some of the advantages of making a disagreeable person keep his distance.
406
407
408
409
I remember knowing, for a while, for a long time, that I was kind of abnormal in some sense.
410
411
412
I still love to do the old songs. I know some people don’t.
413
414
Some weeks, I’m super-duper busy, so I can only fit cardio in here and there, a lot of stuff happens in the afternoon, so I can get up and have a workout, which makes me feel awesome for the rest of my day. There’s just something sexy about feeling strong. And every night I’m onstage, I get another workout.
415
What you see is what you get. My God, I don’t have the time nor the energy to live up to some persona.
416
Remember you will not always win. Some days, the most resourceful individual will taste defeat. But there is, in this case, always tomorrow – after you have done your best to achieve success today.
417
There is some risk that if the wrong regulatory regime gets adopted in the U.S., then the center of innovation could move to other countries. If blockchains are the next Internet, that would be a very unfortunate development for the U.S.
418
A word is dead when it is said, some say. I say it just begins to live that day.
419
One of the greatest gifts my father gave me – unintentionally – was witnessing the courage with which he bore adversity. We had a bit of a rollercoaster life with some really challenging financial periods. He was always unshaken, completely tranquil, the same ebullient, laughing, jovial man.
420
421
422
Much of the time, the things we feel guilty about are not our issues. Another person behaves inappropriately or in some way violates our boundaries. We challenge the behavior, and the person gets angry and defensive. Then we feel guilty.
423
424
425
426
You have to spend some energy and effort to see the beauty of math.
427
I don’t really think I am the most beautiful woman in the world at all. If I can create some illusion to that effect – and it seems I have – then that is what spells success to me.
428
429
430
All of us, believers and non-believers, desire some kind of fellowship and connection.
431
I’ve had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy. The reason is that I was trying to fight against the stomach pain, trying to hold my food down. People looked me and assumed I was some kind of addict.
432
433
Creativity is a great motivator because it makes people interested in what they are doing. Creativity gives hope that there can be a worthwhile idea. Creativity gives the possibility of some sort of achievement to everyone. Creativity makes life more fun and more interesting.
434
We’ve got some people who think Shariah law oughta be the law of the land, forget the Constitution. But the guns are there, the Second Amendment is there, to make sure all of the rest of the amendments are followed.
435
436
There are some people that if they don’t know, you can’t tell them.
437
438
439
All human beings are born entrepreneurs. Some get a chance to unleash that capacity. Some never got the chance, never knew that he or she has that capacity.
440
441
Some days I can’t get an idea, and I think, ‘Man, I’m just washed up,’ but it’s just a mood.
442
Some weasel took the cork out of my lunch.
443
There is no great genius without some touch of madness.
444
If you’re going to help somebody, sneak in, sneak out, do what you can. I just sneak along and do my thing and meet wonderful people, some people I’ve never met, new friends.
445
Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything, or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.
446
A good villain exudes charisma and power. He has principles, though; that just gives him a level of dimension. It makes him seem to be a bit unpredictable, because he’s usually deemed as some type of evil, ruthless person, and then he shows you his principles, and you don’t know what to think of it.
447
448
Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.
449
450
It is only in adventure that some people succeed in knowing themselves – in finding themselves.
451
Life goes on pretty much the same way. I’ve been working on a couple of films on the side. You may see some more. You may even see another television show.
452
I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.
453
Some of our greatest historical and artistic treasures we place in museums; others, we take for walks.
454
There is no decision that we can make that doesn’t come with some sort of balance or sacrifice.
455
But change must always be balanced with some degree of consistency.
456
457
458
459
A politician’s goal is always to manipulate public debate. I think there are some politicians with higher goals. But all of them get corrupted by power.
460
461
462
You can’t please everybody. You’d be crazy if you’re trying to. So take some time out to do some things for yourself.
463
464
465
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.
466
There were some great clinicians in the 20th century – great men. Freud was a genius; Jung was a genius, Carl Rogers was a genius – there’s a half-dozen psychologists of the 1950s and humanists of the 1960s.
467
468
The only thing that might have annoyed some mathematicians was the presumption of assuming that maybe the axiom of choice could fail, and that we should look into contrary assumptions.
469
470
I doubt if a single individual could be found from the whole of mankind free from some form of insanity. The only difference is one of degree. A man who sees a gourd and takes it for his wife is called insane because this happens to very few people.
471
Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.
472
Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.
473
474
If you’re raised with a poverty mentality, nothing is going to change it. I do know some really stingy billionaires. I come from such a generation of hand-to-mouthers.
475
Some people are making such thorough preparation for rainy days that they aren’t enjoying today’s sunshine.
476
477
478
To become mindfully aware of our surroundings is to bring our thinking back to our present moment reality and to the possibility of some semblance of serenity in the face of circumstances outside our ability to control.
479
480
481
You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
482
True freedom requires the rule of law and justice, and a judicial system in which the rights of some are not secured by the denial of rights to others.
483
484
I found there are a lot of advantages to being on a small budget and having a small crew. You get some very intimate performances and naturalistic cinematography.
485
To reminisce with my old friends, a chance to share some memories, and play our songs again.
486
487
Take some time to learn first aid and CPR. It saves lives, and it works.
488
We go to the theater to be entertained, but if what is left after you watch the movie is a sort of eye-opening perspective on some social issues, then it can be a really powerful piece of art.
489
490
I’m here. I’m not going anywhere. No matter what the injury – unless it’s completely debilitating – I’m going to be the same player I’ve always been. I’ll figure it out. I’ll make some tweaks, some changes, but I’m still coming.
491
492
493
Man’s mind is like a store of idolatry and superstition; so much so that if a man believes his own mind it is certain that he will forsake God and forge some idol in his own brain.
494
There is an electric fire in human nature tending to purify – so that among these human creatures there is continually some birth of new heroism. The pity is that we must wonder at it, as we should at finding a pearl in rubbish.
495
I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that’s to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn’t know if someone was stuttering. ‘Yes, hello I’d like some b-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries!’ and D-batteries that’s hard for foreigners. ‘Yes, I would like de batteries.’
496
The offhand decision of some commonplace mind high in office at a critical moment influences the course of events for a hundred years.
497

I got some cash from agents. I’ve talked to the NCAA. I think that should be legal. I want some money, too; everybody else is making money. I want to go on dates. I want to go buy myself some new suits. I want to buy myself some new sneakers, and I paid the agents back.
501
How wonderful that we have met with a paradox. Now we have some hope of making progress.
502
Each goal, each win, going to different buildings, the rivalries, the excitement – it is something. I try to catch myself, you know, in the warm-ups, when you’re on the line and the anthem and you get to some milestones and stuff. It’s such a neat experience.
503
Some books leave us free and some books make us free.
504
505
506
507
You can’t change the world alone – you will need some help – and to truly get from your starting point to your destination takes friends, colleagues, the good will of strangers and a strong coxswain to guide them.
508
509
510
511
512
There’s a bit of magic in everything, and some loss to even things out.
513
514
515
516
There may be some people in the country who forget to perform their duty. You should set an example by doing your job with honesty and faithfulness.
517
Some people create with words or with music or with a brush and paints. I like to make something beautiful when I run. I like to make people stop and say, ‘I’ve never seen anyone run like that before.’ It’s more than just a race, it’s a style. It’s doing something better than anyone else. It’s being creative.
518
519
Happiness in this world, when it comes, comes incidentally. Make it the object of pursuit, and it leads us a wild-goose chase, and is never attained. Follow some other object, and very possibly we may find that we have caught happiness without dreaming of it.
520
521
I went out with some old friends and we were having fun. A couple of them were very intoxicated. When I went to leave, I refused to let them drive. So when I got pulled over, I was the driver.
522
523
Today some actors get a little full of themselves about what they’re doing.
524
Celebrate your successes. Find some humor in your failures.
525
Trust me, you can’t change anything without causing some degree of disruption. It’s impossible, that is exactly what change is. Some people are uncomfortable with the disruption that change causes, but the disruption is necessary if anything is going to change.
526
Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream of things that never were, and say why not.
527
The next time some academics tell you how important diversity is, ask how many Republicans there are in their sociology department.
528
Some people try to get very philosophical and cerebral about what they’re trying to say with jazz. You don’t need any prologues, you just play.
529
To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
530
Some folk want their luck buttered.
531
You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.
532
Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some. We are less dissatisfied when we lack many things than when we seem to lack but one thing.
533
Somehow our society has formed a one-sided view of the human personality, and for some reason everyone understood giftedness and talent only as it applied to the intellect. But it is possible not only to be talented in one’s thoughts but also to be talented in one’s feelings as well.
534
There’s always some room for improvisation.
535
536
I believe alien life is quite common in the universe, although intelligent life is less so. Some say it has yet to appear on planet Earth.
537
There is no excellent beauty that hath not some strangeness in the proportion.
538
Intuition and concepts constitute… the elements of all our knowledge, so that neither concepts without an intuition in some way corresponding to them, nor intuition without concepts, can yield knowledge.
539
I am glad that I paid so little attention to good advice; had I abided by it I might have been saved from some of my most valuable mistakes.
540
Some people are so afraid to die that they never begin to live.
