165
We have to ask, ‘How can we break a huge challenge like sending humans to Mars into a series of doable, affordable steps? How can we break that problem down into chunks in order to keep making progress?’
166
Common sense steps in here and says: Separate the parts you want to be mobile from the parts you want to be inert. You have seen the result, and I know many have the skill to apply it.

The Palestinian Authority refuses on an ongoing basis to take the necessary steps to prevent terrorists from getting into Israel.
David Baker
169
With my social media posts on fairness creams, I felt really strongly that I needed to speak up about it because I think we can take baby steps. Colour and caste is engrained in our culture, but I don’t think it should be applauded or packaged and sold.
170
I think back into when I was in college coming out, what I had to go through, the steps I had to make. And I still play with that chip on my shoulder to this day and I always will, so that’s something that’ll always stay with me.
171
My own office life at Hampton Court is somewhat challenging food-wise. It’s miles from anywhere, off the Chapel Court, deep inside the palace, up a spiral staircase of 51 steps. You can’t just nip out for a sandwich.
172
I’m a tennis fan, so I like Roger Federer. He’s always two or three steps ahead, so he’s hitting a shot, but he’s also thinking about the next two shots. So I try to be in that frame of mind – to always be ahead.
173
I’m not sure whether Los Angeles borders on the ocean or on oblivion. I always feel that I’m two steps away from the other side when I’m out there. It’s more like a vacation place or a place to visit than a place to hunker down.
174
Mistakes are merely steps up the ladder.
Paul J. Meyer
175
When I was a teenager, I used to watch the ‘Making Michael Jackson’s ‘Thriller” video and try to follow the steps and do the ‘Thriller’ moves in my bedroom. That was the most incredible dance sequence.
176
I see my writing as the process of looking at the usual, but from two steps to the side.
177
People think cyberbullying will never end, so why try to fix it? Which I completely understand. I will be the first to tell you that it’s not going to end. But if you start making the change and start making the steps, over time change will happen.
178
You always get things that teach you and steps to grow, but there is a confidence that is gained and a deep understanding of what it means to be supported by your knowledge – not by some team that is there to create confidence; it is there within you. That takes time. That takes teachers. That takes taking risks.
Sharon Lawrence
179
To be very honest, I cannot drape a saree myself. I have never draped one on my own, ever. But it has been done on me so many times, that now I have memorised all the steps, and if someone challenges me, I will surely be able to do it.
180
Most research into life’s murky origin has been carried out by chemists. They’ve tried a variety of approaches in their attempts to recreate the first steps on the road to life, but little progress has been made. Perhaps that is no surprise, given life’s stupendous complexity.
181
Well Washington DC what are you going to do. They think the capitol steps are the state of the art in comedy. You try to drag them into the 20th century let alone the 21st and they refuse to come with you.
182
When I was leaving NBC News to go to CNN, people would say, ‘What?! Why would you possibly leave the ‘Today Show’ to go to cable?’ If I would’ve listened to people, I would’ve been on a great platform, but I wouldn’t have grown as a journalist. So far, most of the steps in my career have been really good.
183
There’s a staircase on the first floor of the Capitol that I walk every day. It’s made of marble, and as you walk those steps, you think of those who’ve walked before you. You think of the challenges that the country’s faced.
184
Working with Madonna, she always told me the meaning behind the steps and why I was doing these steps – she treated us like actors. So I feel like I’ve always been an actor, truly.
185
It’s always when you think that you’ve lost a little of the baby weight that someone steps in grabs a handful of a now sans baby soft belly and asks the inevitable ‘When are you due?’
186
While we can’t begin to repay the debt we owe our veterans for their brave service, we can certainly take steps to ease the physical, psychological and financial hardships they may be experiencing.
187
Our Constitution in many situations rightly demands a warrant or order before we take investigative steps. And the FISC provides that vital, independent oversight.
188
‘ABCD’ is an out-and-out dance film. I also dance in the film. I must say you would see better dancers than me in this film. It was very tough for me to match their steps.
189
In Degas’s compositions with several dancers, their steps, postures and gestures often resemble the almost geometric, formal letters of an alphabet, whereas their bodies and heads are recalcitrant, sinuous and individual.
190
When it comes to providing aid, developing innovations, and making bold steps that change the course of history, the United States is usually on the front lines.
191
The advent of AIDS circa 1980 has really forced medicine and biology to take enormous steps just for sheer survival. The same way war propels hard technology, AIDS has created wartime conditions in the field of biology that will have all sorts of spin-offs.
192
Televisa is the largest media company in the Spanish-speaking world, and the steps we have taken, which extend the tenure of our exclusive access to Televisa’s premium Spanish-language telenovelas, sports, sitcoms, reality series, news programs and feature films, put Univision in a stronger competitive position.
193
The best way to make employees happy is to set realistic goals and achieve them. The big job is to make sure those small steps are pointing us in the right direction and demonstrate at the end of the year that they all add up to something pretty great.
194
Young people really want you to give them a road map, and they will follow it to a tee. If you tell them, ‘These are the eight steps you have to take to be successful,’ they will do all eight very earnestly.
195
I always wanted to just stay 10 steps ahead of everybody. It’s just been like that my whole life.
Westside Gunn
196
You’ve got to take each step as it comes – you can’t think about 20 steps away because it will distract you and trip you up.
197
Most of the people who will walk after me will be children, so make the beat keep time with short steps.
Hans Christian Andersen
198
A powerful studio boss doesn’t want to be bested by a woman, even in chess. And a successful agent steps on a lot of toes. You lose actors jobs so you can get them for your own clients.
Sue Mengers
199
My life is very exciting now. Nostalgia for what? It’s like climbing a staircase. I’m on the top of the staircase, I look behind and see the steps. That’s where I was. We’re here right now. Tomorrow, we’ll be someplace else. So why nostalgia?
200
I counted everything. I counted the steps to the road, the steps up to church, the number of dishes and silverware I washed… anything that could be counted, I did.
Katherine Johnson
201
Addressing climate change and positioning the United States as the leader in advanced energy should be a top priority for our country and our economy, and I applaud the Obama administration for the steps it is taking.
202
All I’ve got to say is I’m in the top 15, I’m not taking any backwards steps.
203
I’m not a mainstream artist. But I’ve seen my kids being born; I’ve seen them take their first steps, I’ve seen them grow up and start school. That’s worth more to me than any umpteen million dollars.
204
I think the new spirituality will be a spirituality that’s not based on a particular dogma. And that steps away from the old spiritual paradigm that we have created on this planet, which comes from a thought that there is such a thing as being better.
205
We want to use our site to galvanize people to give but also to take important steps toward real change.
206

William Peter Blatty
212
Dealing with a simple burglary can require 1,000 process steps and 70 forms to be completed as a case goes through the Criminal Justice System. That can’t be right.
213
My role models are every single woman that steps inside of the cage – inside of an octagon, inside a ring, or on a mat – and proves to themselves and to others that they can do what they need to do. Those are my heroes. Those are my sheroes. Those are the people that I look up to.
214
Walking is a great way to exercise, and we can find ways to take additional steps each day by parking a car farther away from a destination, climbing stairs instead of taking the elevator or escalator, and walking during occasional breaks from sitting at a desk.
215
For every step forward in electronic communications, we’ve taken two steps back in humanity. People know how to use a computer and answering machines but have forgotten how to connect with one another. Our society is unraveling. We’re too self-obsessed.
216
I don’t like being choreographed to a T. I like to take steps and make them my own.

220
Try to think for your own why the Russians and the Chinese do not like the idea that whoever takes aggressive steps to keep order within his sovereign borders should not accept others to intervene physically.
221
The specific steps for changing a specific habit differ from person to person and habit to habit, but the steps – the formula – is essentially the same, and once you learn it, you can do amazing things.
222
Dancing is just like racing. You don’t learn choreography. They just give you steps to do, and you do them over and over and over. It’s very much like what I do in racing.
Helio Castroneves
223
The teams that win consistently, they put the work into it and they don’t skip steps.
224
It’s about keeping my eyes on the prize. That comes in steps. So for me to get where I really want, I have to take it one step at a time and I have to focus on the plate of food that’s in front of me. I can’t be looking down the road or at everyone else‘s plate.
225
Your lost friends are not dead, but gone before, advanced a stage or two upon that road which you must travel in the steps they trod.
Aristophanes
226

227
We must take steps to prevent further nuclear weapons development or modernization.
228
You don’t have to try to get a job and go through set steps before you start a career or start your life. That’s what I want young girls to know – you can do anything you want. Just start.
229
We want people to tell us the possible steps that can be taken to save ourselves from the harmful effects of air pollution.
230

231
Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don’t want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map.
Silvan Shalom
232
Governments can’t escape from taking tough steps. One can’t be populist about it. You can’t flirt with such serious issues like security.
233
I support the Affordable Care Act and believe we should take steps to further expand coverage and reduce costs.
234
I have maintained a low profile throughout my career but have always done things in my own unique way, be it dancing or dressing up. On the dance floor, I had my own unique steps and often had to lead my choreographer.
Mithun Chakraborty
235
I have an idea for a story, and if the idea is going to work, then one of the characters steps forward, and I hear her voice telling the story. This is what has happened with all the books I’ve written in the first person.
236
In Goodfellas they have this one scene where the camera goes down some steps and walks through a kitchen into a restaurant and the critics were all over this as evidence of the genius of Scorsese and Scorsese is a genius.
Alex Cox
237
I want to write, direct, produce, but in steps. I want to take steps. I don’t want to just jump in because I sold a lot of records and just feel like I can jump into the movie world. Naw, I want to learn the movie world like I learned the music world.
238
Illinois needs a single-payer health care system, and as governor, I will take the steps to get us there.
239
My heart goes out to the Lindsay Lohans and Britneys who have really had childhood taken from them and probably missed important developmental steps. They have become sort of ‘public domain‘ and something to be made money on. There’s no sense of self there, I’m sure of it.
Genie Francis
240
Indonesia can hold regular elections, but if the laws do not apply to the most powerful elements in society, then there is no rule of law and no genuine democracy. The country will never become a true democracy until it takes serious steps to end impunity.
241
Likewise nanotechnology will, once it gets under way, depend on the tools we have then and our ability to use them, and not on the steps that got us there.
242
There are good reasons why natural selection has become widely accepted as an explanation of evolutionary development. When applied to mammals and other large animals, it fits perfectly. But we cannot assume that all evolutionary steps arise from selection, particularly when looking at smaller animals.
John Tyler Bonner
243
There isn’t really anybody who occupies the lens to the extent that Lindsay Lohan does. Something happens when she steps in front of the camera. There is this magnetic energy.
244
I begin with the premise that behavior is an incredibly important element in medicine. People’s habits, their willingness to quit smoking, their willingness to take steps to avoid transmission of HIV, are all behavioral questions.
245
The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.
246
Must we wait for selection to solve the problems of overpopulation, exhaustion of resources, pollution of the environment and a nuclear holocaust, or can we take explicit steps to make our future more secure? In the latter case, must we not transcend selection?
247
There’s a lot of steps between there not being music and there being music. Composition is one part of that, but if no one performs it… It’s like if a tree falls in the forest and no one’s there to hear it, does it make a sound?
248
I always knew from that moment, from the time I found myself at home in that little segregated library in the South, all the way up until I walked up the steps of the New York City library, I always felt, in any town, if I can get to a library, I’ll be OK. It really helped me as a child, and that never left me.
249

252
We need a change of course in the European Union. The most important is the focus on the big questions and a European Union that steps back on the small questions.
253
Why does my brain insist on counting the steps every time I walk up a flight of stairs? I just can’t help myself. There’s something about my mind that always wants to keep counting.
254
This historically has been an issue that both parties have run away from. For the first time, Hillary Clinton and the Democratic Party in its platform are making this issue, about needing to do better as a country to take common sense steps to help prevent gun violence.
255
There have to be practical steps. There’s no point in holding out for a magic door because there are no magic doors. You can dream your life away or actually do what you dream of doing. That’s the most valuable advice I can give.
256
Most people don’t know that dancing auditions, you learn the steps right now.
257

Susan Brooks
261
I didn’t take the Porto job nor the Chelsea job because Jose made the same steps.

263
Western investment is usually assumed to walk hand-in-hand with the democratic values of its home countries, and indeed, opening an economy to outside money is one of the textbook steps in a shift from authoritarianism to an open society.
264
My first passion was to create for young girls the idea that you have to be brave and courageous, it’s not easy taking big steps and saying, ‘I’m going to be a professional dancer’.
265
I want to see businesses identifying where the highest risks of modern slavery are in their business and supply chains and take targeted steps to address those risks.

268
Sometimes learning simple little steps kind of gives couples a pattern that they can follow, and they feel a bit more confident. I literally melt every time I help a couple with their first dance, and they’re not dancers.
269
When takers talk about mistakes, they’re usually quick to place the blame on other people. Givers are more likely to say ‘Here’s the mistake I made; I learned the following from it. Here are the steps I’m taking to make sure I don’t let people down in the future.’
270
Soledad Barrio is clearly a master – of thrilling steps and passionate movement. She stalks, she circles, she struts, she snaps her head – her feet drill the stage.

272

277
OFSTED has made large cuts in the paperwork which schools are asked to provide and further steps to reduce the bureaucratic burden will be introduced in September.
278

279
I am not in a hurry… I take slow steps but never go backwards.
280
Remember if people talk behind your back, it only means you’re two steps ahead!
Fannie Flagg
281
Rhythm is born in all of us. To be a desirable dancing partner, you don’t have to do all the intricate fancy steps that happen to be in vogue. All you have to do is be a good average dancer, and anybody who spends the time and effort can accomplish this.
282
Ultimately, we have to decide, with the Legislature: Are we willing to take some bold steps to make us even more competitive in the future, competing in a global economy? I think Nebraskans are willing to listen to that discussion. They want an opportunity for their kids and grandkids to live here.
Dave Heineman
283
We lived in the projects in Brooklyn, the elevator used to be broken, and we used to walk up 20 flights of steps and then walk down.
284
For a while, I didn’t want to leave the house. Eventually, I just got sick of being indoors. Now I take steps not to be noticed when I don’t want to be. For instance, I live near Westfield shopping centre, so I won’t go there at the weekend.
285
Safety and security in East Delhi is a very big concern, and this is an across-class concern. It isn’t an issue that one segment faces and another does not… But because Delhi Police comes under the central government, there are virtually no steps being taken.
286
With dancing, you have to know spatial movement with somebody. It is steps. It’s literally steps and knowing how close to be or how far away. You have to have the beat in the right place with the camera.
287
I had met a young lady who wanted to be in the theater. It was Judy Holliday. She had somehow fallen down the steps of the Village Vanguard, which still exists today.
Adolph Green
288
Our leaders have the solemn obligation to know the proper steps to take before acting upon them, and building a wall from the Pacific Ocean to the Gulf Coast of Texas is a third-century solution to a 21st-century problem.
289
We had staffed up to do ‘Doom 4’ internally in parallel with ‘Rage’. We also had our mobile and ‘Quake Live’ departments. We were taking a lot of steps to kind of provide a little bit more scope and protection for ourselves. And we certainly were listening to offers from all the majors about acquisition.
290
I think that instead of laying out ahead of time where my career is going to go, I try to make decisions that feel like they’re the best steps for me in that moment.
291
As 17th U.S. Surgeon General, I was privileged to serve as the nation’s doctor. I focused much of my time on promoting proven programs and individual steps that lead to good health.

293
We will keep the promise of Social Security by taking the responsible steps to strengthen it – not by turning it over to Wall Street.
294
And I don’t have any specific steps to take because I don’t start the same way every time. But there is a knowing when it’s enough and you can leave it alone.
Bruce Nauman
295
I think we’re getting to the point where everyone’s getting fat and everyone’s getting allergic, or claims to be allergic to something and people can’t walk from their front door to their car without a bottle of water in their hand because they have to hydrate every three and half steps.
296
Five and forty steps the sky will burn. Fire approaching the large new city. Instantly a great thin flame will leap, when someone will want to test the Normans.

306
Gay marriage is the last bastion of, to me… as a legal, ceremonial, sentimental and religious side, it’s one of the last steps. Retaining your job being one of the earlier steps, like, not getting kicked out of your job because you’re gay.
307
Even when governments take the right steps to reform, these can be negatively impacted by events outside their control.
308
Germany has always stood for an E.U. of the 27 countries. But in light of Britain‘s continued resistance to further integration steps, as we saw with the fiscal pact, there are limits to my optimism in this regard. It’s quite possible that we will have to create the new institutions for the euro zone first.
309
I would only once have the opportunity to let my scientific career encompass a path from the double helix to the three billion steps of the human genome.
310

311
A lot of heroines ask me to make the dance steps easier.
312

316
Mass incarceration is the result of small, distinct steps, each of whose significance becomes more apparent over time, and only when considered in light of later events.

318
Running up a steep hill or up steps are fantastic ways of building explosive strength.
319
My main efforts focussed on trying to identify the rate controlling steps during the cell cycle. Crucial for this analysis were wee mutants that were advanced prematurely through the cell cycle and so divided at a reduced cell size.
320
You don’t know how many times I fell just taking ridiculous small steps.

324
Dodging and burning are steps to take care of mistakes God made in establishing tonal relationships.
325

326
In any discussion of technology, you hear the same argument: You can’t turn the clock back and you can’t put the genie back in the bottle. Maybe not. But there are steps we can take to limit the social harm caused by this industry, just like we do with others.

329

330
I remember at the 1996 Olympics in Atlanta, Shaq always wanted me to show him steps over and over.
Hakeem Olajuwon
331
Floor exercise, the longest you run is two or three steps. In the vault, it’s not a whole lot more than that.
332
After spending time around Donald Trump I find myself inspired by his vision, thought process, keen insight, and overall discipline. He’s a brilliant thinker who tends to walk several steps ahead of the masses. I want to share his wisdom with the world in my own way.
333
The 50th Earth Day was always going to be special, but the coronavirus pandemic has made it even more so. The unprecedented steps the world has taken to slow the spread of the virus have dramatically reduced the number of cars on the road, planes in the air, and oil being pulled from the ground.
334
Patrick Pearse – who set the events of 1916 in motion when he read the Proclamation of the Irish Republic from the steps of the General Post Office in Dublin – is not exactly an unfamiliar name to the Miramichi Irish.
335
Academic experts may not be good at doing what they are experts in themselves, but they are good at explaining the subject matter to others. They write books, teach courses and offer lessons and give steps others can follow.
336
Honestly, I guess if you looked at my CV, I’ve been doing independent movies since I started. I think that I kind of took a few steps back from Hollywood as soon as it all started to come my way because I wasn’t quite ready for the attention.
337
If you expect to grow your business, you need to be plotting out your schedules days in advance. Until you get that most basic of steps orchestrated, you can never get to the critical steps that I outline in any one of dozens of books.
338
Could we have entered into the mind of Sir Isaac Newton, and have traced all the steps by which he produced his great works, we might see nothing very extraordinary in the process.
Joseph Priestley

If you dream of something worth doing and then simply go to work on it and don’t think anything of personalities, or emotional conflicts, or of money, or of family distractions; it is amazing how quickly you get through those 5,000 steps.
Edwin Land
340
Tiny steps will get you to your goal months and months sooner. A little is better than a lot.
341
I really take my hat off to anybody that steps in the ring because it’s so hard – you’re competing against your friends, and you’re working in front of an audience who tells you exactly what they’re thinking.
342
There are definitely roles within this industry that are industry-related, but to be a good actor, you really have to want to act first. At the same time, my goal was never to go to Hollywood to make movies. I think if you come here with that attitude, then you’ve missed a few steps.
343
I see more people taking charge of their well-being through the use of data and digital sensors, wearable health bands, and smartphone apps that can track and quantify everything from their heart rate, blood pressure, and sleep quality to steps walked and calories consumed.
344

345
When I want to check out how my life’s been, I go through my albums. They steps in my life.
346
Even though I am a professional, and I know what the steps are, I don’t quite know how I’m going to do them, because I haven’t lived that moment yet. I always feel very insecure and I get very excited.
347
The Feeding the 5000 campaign is inviting food businesses to sign up to the principles of the Food Waste Pyramid tool, which illustrates a simple set of steps that any food business can take to avoid and reduce food waste.
348
Not counting ‘Small Steps,’ I think ‘Holes‘ is my best book, in terms of plot, and setting, and the way the story revealed itself. It hasn’t changed my life, other than that I have more money than I did before I wrote it. I’m still too close to ‘Small Steps’ to compare it to ‘Holes.’
349
There are fully forty towers, which are lofty and well built, the largest of which has fifty steps leading to its main body, and is higher than the tower of the principal tower of the church at Seville.
Hernan Cortes
350
We are constantly driven to believe that women should look a set age or be a certain body size, which is fuelling an obsession with ever more dramatic and invasive steps.
351
Writing can sometimes be exploitative. I like to take a few steps of remove in order to respect the privacy of the subject. If readers make the link, they have engaged with the poem.
352
There has been a growing consensus across the country – from statehouses to the White House and the halls of Congress – that we need to take dramatic steps to improve our secondary schools.
353
At times, I find that TV today has taken so many steps backwards and has become so regressive as compared to the kind of wit in shows from the ’80s and ’90s.
354
It’s about winning the ball, making this step or making the right decision. If you make all of these steps then wins, a final position in the table will come on its own.
355
Just to take a couple steps back historically, Korea, as you can see, is located among what we call big countries. And historically we’ve always been the victim of numerous invasions and whatnot.
356
The nuclear arsenal that Pakistan has, I believe is secure. I think the government and the military have taken adequate steps to protect that.
357
We need a government which, yes, guarantees basic standards in public services, but which also steps in to protect people’s wellbeing as they take part in our consumer democracy – particularly online.
358
The thing about hoofing is that It’s much more intricate than people realize. Occasionally you see some good hoofing on TV. Bob Hope is very good at the old slide steps. George Burns does a good, old-fashioned sand dance from Vaudeville!
359
People have often asked me to do a remake of Awara’ with Rishi Kapoor and Ranbir Kapoor. When I took the idea few steps forward, we all got scared. Where will we get another Prithviraj Kapoor and Raj Kappor? Where will I get composers like Shankar-Jaikishen?
360
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.
361
Fractions, decimals, algebra, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, mechanics – these are the steps up the mountain side. How high is one going to get? For me, the pinnacle was Projective Geometry. Who today has even heard of this branch of mathematics?
362
The secret of success lies in realising one’s mistake, understanding where one went wrong and taking steps to rectify that mistake.
363
Our military and national security agencies will require flexibility to take steps, short of war, to counter the Iranian threat in the Middle East and elsewhere.
364
I’ve been playing football for a while, but Guardiola really made me a better player. I was 29 when I started working with him, so I wasn’t very young, but if you see the steps I made thanks to him, it shows you what he is capable of doing. Guardiola didn’t just put me on the flanks but in other positions as well.
365
It always sounds so cheesy when I say it, but whatever it is you want to do, just go for it. I don’t care what it is: find a reputable school, or if you need to go to college or get the right training, just go do it and take little steps.
366
The BJP has a zero-tolerance policy towards terrorism and is determined to equip the Indian armed forces with modern and hi-tech equipment and take steps to restrict illegal immigration.
367

368
It is easy to go down into Hell; night and day, the gates of dark Death stand wide; but to climb back again, to retrace one’s steps to the upper air – there’s the rub, the task.
369
I learned some valuable lessons about the legislative process, the importance of bipartisan cooperation and the wisdom of taking small steps to get a big job done.

Well, I like to be kept on my toes. I look for a challenge. I don’t like to recreate steps that I’ve already walked. I like to see if I can create something new.
374
I’ve got to take measured steps and avoid the pitfalls. Life in general has pitfalls, but being a boxer there’s even more.

376
I saw this movie ‘The Right Stuff’ when I was in college, and it really rekindled my interest in being an astronaut. I started taking those steps, and then I realized it would be the chance of a lifetime. It would be a dream life: not just a job, but the whole life.
Michael J. Massimino
377
A well-developed sense of humor is the pole that adds balance to your steps as you walk the tightrope of life.
William Arthur Ward
378
Going from sharing a one-bedroom place to living in a loft to two people living in a house to me having my own place by myself has kind of mirrored my career… small steps to bigger, to bigger, to now having a steady job.
379
Every fan wants to win every year, that’s how my dad was. It would be nice to be able to do that every year, but I think Lakers fans know, as long as they see progress, and steps going in the right direction, they’ll be patient.
380
I don’t know why all these actors think going to a gym or riding horses or learning how to fight are the steps to becoming an actor.
381
Legitimate steps of self-defence which Israel takes in its war against Palestinian terror – actions which any sovereign state is obligated to undertake to ensure the security of its citizens – are presented by those who hate Israel as aggressive, Nazi-like steps.
382
Call him wise whose actions, words, and steps are all a clear because to a clear why.
Sara Teasdale
383
Denzel’s all about the work. He’s all about the acting. He’s an actor. He’ll tell you himself, ‘I’m not a movie star, celebrity, something else. I’m an actor.’ He steps on a set, that’s what he is, and that’s what he gives you. He gives his heart.
384
I really chess-play culture shifts. I’m really good at understanding what worldwide cell-phone use means. That’s what I do. I try to picture it three to four to five steps ahead.
385
On the steps is a machine-gun ready for action. The square is empty; only the streets that lead into it are jammed with people. It would be madness to go farther – the machine-gun is covering the square.
Erich Maria Remarque
386
Every generation has someone who steps outside the norm and offers a voice for the unspeakable attitudes of that time. I represent everything that’s supposed to be wrong, everything that’s forbidden.
387
Writers tend to write stories as a kind of holiday between novels, or as preliminary steps towards a novel. Stories just don’t often make up a writer’s main body of work, and that’s not because they don’t see the market for it.
James Lasdun
388
Mankind progresses not smoothly, as by a sliding carpet ascent, but by rugged steps broken by gaps. He halts long on one stage before taking the next. Often he remains stationary, unable to form resolution to step forward – sometimes even has turned round and retrograded.
389
When I did lose weight, by the way, I did it because my doctor recommended it. My secret isn’t a pill. I took individual steps to eat more healthily, cutting down on unhealthy snacking and the empty calories of alcohol.
390
Taxpayers should demand that their states honestly assess public pension plans, accurately measure the assets and liabilities, and take steps to provide fair benefits to public employees that limit taxpayersliability.
391
The Nike Fuel Band is interesting – it measures your movements and how far you’ve walked and how hard you’ve worked that day. I prefer using when I travel. It’s a fun way to see how far I’ve walked – how many steps I’ve taken when I’m walking around different cities.
392
I always say, and I truly believe this, that my work is three steps ahead of me. I have an idea for something and I tend to feel like it’s leading me and I’ll follow the process through, and it’s not until after I’ve seen it that I truly understand why I’m doing this.
393
I learned that the purpose of the Twelve Steps is to do the will of God.
Keith Miller
394

395
Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.
396
Beginning with a trip out to Ellis Island, I saw for myself where thousands of European immigrants took their first steps onto American soil, bringing with them nothing but their ambition: people such as Erich von Stroheim and Adolph Zukor.
397
We need to get back and make the agencies who are putting more burdens on businesses and employers and hardworking taxpayers and question whether or not there’s a true benefit, and if there isn’t, we must take steps to repeal them.
398
I took business and economics courses. More than anything, I learned the proper steps and the things that need to be outlined. You have to keep your books: how much money you made, how much money you’re spending, what you profited, and what you’re gonna need for expenses.
399
I do think women can have it all – but not all women. If you take daring steps and are smart about it, you can probably have it all. But you might have to wait a while.

Michael Eisner let it be known last week that he had no intention of leaving the entertainment business once he steps down as CEO of Disney in October.
Peter Bart
401
The interest in character-driven content over narrative-driven ditto is increasing; that’s why television steps in. Personally, I love it, since psychology and character, really, are my beacons.
402
I saw many people who had advanced heart disease and I was so frustrated because I knew if they just knew how to do the right thing, simple lifestyle and diet steps, that the entire trajectory of their life and health would have been different.
403
Research clearly shows us that the earlier women think about maintaining their bone mass and take the steps to do so, the better their health will be in the long run.
404

405
I learned to put 100 percent into what you’re doing. I learned about setting goals for yourself, knowing where you want to be and taking small steps toward those goals. I learned about adversity and how to get past it.
406
At this time – we’re in a dramatic crisis – euro bonds are precisely the wrong answer. They lead us into a debt union, not a stability union. Each country has to take its own steps to reduce its debt.
407
There are a number of steps that we can take to reinvigorate and rebuild the economic and the physical infrastructure of our country and then to rebuild us, frankly, on a spiritual level.
408
You can be taking two steps forward as an actor, but if a movie doesn’t make money, you might as well be taking two steps backwards. It’s all about economics.
409
But when it really happens I’m very fascinated, I’m waiting for the moment, because the moment where life abandons you and death steps in, that moment must be fantastic, no?
Nastassja Kinski
410
On the molecular scale, you find it’s reasonable to have a machine that does a million steps per second, a mechanical system that works at computer speeds.
411
When you look at coaching in the pros 25-plus years, I have been with rebuilding teams and I have been with championship teams, and so I know all the steps in-between.
412

414

415
America has taken small baby steps of progress towards having more inclusion and diversity in Hollywood. It’s optimistic.
416
People would say my children should have free will to eat meat – my philosophy is that is wrong, not healthy for the planet, animals or people. They learned and embraced all they could, taking gradual steps toward becoming vegan.
Maggie Baird
417
Government should take necessary steps to add music into school syllabus and impart knowledge to the students.
418
When you’re trying to solve a problem on a new product type, you become completely focused on problems that seem a number of steps removed from the main product. That problem solving can appear a little abstract, and it is easy to lose sight of the product.
419
I used to think that the image of the press in the 1940s – a bunch of guys in hats screaming on the courthouse steps – was all baloney. I used to say, ‘I know reporters. We’re not like that.’ But we are.
420
Before, I would play a little hoops, a little tennis. Now it’s more yoga, Pilates, stretching, some light weight work, push-ups, sit-ups, resistance things. When I used to live on the eleventh floor, I would take the steps. I don’t do that so much now. I’m taking the elevator a bit more these days.
Robin Roberts
421
On Sunday morning, it’s Brooklyn Bagels on Beverly Boulevard. We get them hot. Then we walk some of the famous Silver Lake steps or hike in the hills to the highest vantage point to see the reservoir.
422
My goal and mission is to be very strong in avoiding back steps. I leave judgments, evaluations and analysis to the media, then to the observers.
Enrico Letta
423
If each of your time steps is one week long, you are not modeling the stock price terribly well over a one-week time period, because you are saying that there are only two possible outcomes.
John Hull
424
If you really want to thrive, I would say you need a minimum of 12,000 steps a day.
425
When you’re thinking about building your own online dating profile, especially on OkCupid, you should go through the same steps you’re thinking about when you’re going out to meet someone new. You want to put your best foot forward.
426
My own ideas on the mechanism of catalytic phenomena were very different from those at one time commonly held, ideas which I no doubt owed to the influence of the illustrious teacher who had guided my first steps in chemistry nearly twenty years before – I refer, of course, to Berthelot.
Paul Sabatier
427
A lasting two-state solution requires two credible partners, and not just one side – Israel – taking superficial steps simply to placate world opinion.

436
I think that’s one of the most important thing for a player to have – to have goals for yourself, that you want to make steps, that you want to improve yourself, that you want to go the highest level.
437
There are some things the general public does not need to know and shouldn’t. I believe democracy flourishes when the government can take legitimate steps to keep its secrets, and when the press can decide whether to print what it knows.
438
I have to strive to go two steps forward and realize that, sometimes, there will be one step back.
439
I think you have to see two steps ahead of things. That’s just the way I roll.
440
I was very fortunate to hook up with Jerry in the first place. The network was already committed to doing something with him, so I skipped a couple of hundred steps right there.
441
No graduation speaker will ever tell you that the future is anything but uncertain. It never is. But graduations need not only be obsessed with looking ahead; a graduation can be a day on which we turn back and trace our steps to see how we ended up where we are.
Taylor Mali
442
For rich children, it’d be very easy and convenient never to take any steps to build an identity outside of your association with your family’s wealth.

Every book that you pick up takes you a step away from your real world, but if you read a book about magic, it takes you an extra two steps.
Jenny Nimmo
444

445
Best thing for a government to do is to eliminate obstacles like filing registrations, getting licences, and so on… tedious steps slow everything down.
446
The electric guitar was a big step for me, but I didn’t spend a lot of time trying to adjust. It wasn’t like, ‘Hey, little lady, come strap on this here big guitar.’ We took it in steps as much as possible.
447
A leader is someone who steps back from the entire system and tries to build a more collaborative, more innovative system that will work over the long term.
448

449
Omega’s pioneering spirit and quest for innovation has endured throughout the times, and has created many ‘first steps’ in history. Hopefully, as an ambassador, I can deliver Omega’s philosophy and message, and we can create some special new footprints together.
450
When Cody won the Ring of Honor title, I rushed out of my seats, tripped on the steps, and bruised my leg in front of a couple fans. I just didn’t want to miss a moment with him. That is how much I care about my husband, I care so much I get clumsy.
451
Ever since Theresa May’s premiership, I have become suspicious of the ‘lectern moment’. That is when the prime minister steps outside Downing Street to address the nation on Brexit.
452
There are no mistakes. The events we bring upon ourselves, no matter how unpleasant, are necessary in order to learn what we need to learn; whatever steps we take, they’re necessary to reach the places we’ve chosen to go.
453
Access to books and the encouragement of the habit of reading: these two things are the first and most necessary steps in education and librarians, teachers and parents all over the country know it. It is our children’s right and it is also our best hope and their best hope for the future.
454
I finished high school, moved to Nashville for college, and set out to break into the music business. Every night when I called home with news of my experiences, my mom and dad would encourage me to keep taking those small steps.

Decide while you’re young to keep the commandments of God, and you won’t have to think fast, because before temptation even steps up to the bat, you’ll have made your decision. You were smart enough to think first.
456
You can improve in every stage of your career, and even in training, after training, analysing your game, you can do a lot of stuff to make steps, and that’s also a major point of becoming a top player.
457
I want to be an arena act. There’s so many steps to take to get there, and it’s so easy to get lost and cocky. I just take small steps each day.
458

460

Richard Masur
461
I feel rejecting rejection is one of the most crucial steps in getting past failure.
462
Broadway is the same as Hollywood. Every few years we say we reached the mountaintop, then we take two steps back.
463
Whether it’s learning to hit a backhand in tennis, learning high school chemistry, or getting better at ski racing, I really believe with hard work and analytic preparation, you can skip a few steps and find the faster way.
464
When it comes to making laws that protect the public from the financial services industry, Congress has done a progressively worse job since the Pecora Commission hearings of the early 1930s, which led to Congress taking bold steps to regulate banking and securities firms in 1933 and 1934.
465
Foreign policy exactly suits Obama’s strong points as a leader, which turn out not to be giving the masses a clear sense of direction and hope, but instead exercising good judgment on a case-by-case basis while thinking many steps ahead of the present moment.
466
Access to capital is one of the most important first steps entrepreneurs take when starting a business, and it is also one of the biggest difficulties, especially for our veterans.

469
I learned a long time ago that you can’t skip steps.
470

Gilbert Parker
471
I’m a huge Russell Westbrook fan. I pretend I know him, I call him Rusty. But I love his style and someone who steps out out of the box and is bold and that’s him.

477

Caprice Bourret
478
I have fully retired as a choreographer. I do not have the patience now to make actors learn their steps. For me, that ship has sailed. I have enjoyed 22 years of it.
479
In my home there was a garden and many trees, and I remember growing up without fear. Everything was very steep amongst the trees and I remember running up and down always trying to go faster. I would go so fast that there would be a trail of my steps that I would leave behind.
480
When you look at the fittest, leanest populations like Japan and Scandinavia, they don’t even go to the gym. The average person in Sydney takes 11,000 steps a day, and the average person in Houston does 4000. Guess who is going to be leaner, regardless of their diet?
481
I did not support the Federal Communications Commission’s decision to repeal net neutrality, but we can take steps here in Vermont to uphold these values, while ensuring compliance with Federal law.

Breyten Breytenbach
483
Changes occur after taking practical steps, not by chanting slogans and giving speeches.
484
In life, there’s a ladder sometimes, and maybe at the top, there’s a mirror. You take a step up, then maybe three steps down… just because you don’t want to face the decloaking in the mirror.
485
To enhance ease of doing business, the government has taken multiple steps to simplify procedures, rationalise rules, and increased use of technology.

487
I have found there are four steps to change. 1. You must want it. 2. You must believe it. 3. You must live it. 4. You will become it.
488
If a script is good, you are 10 steps into the part just reading it. But my choices are not all down to my taste. It is about people you have worked with before.

491
Hitting the road with Steps is going to be so much fun.
492
Taking responsible steps to reduce poverty is not merely a moral imperative but an economic one.
493

495
Not only in the Octagon, but also in life, sometimes I have to take two steps back to take one step forward.
496
Every little kid that steps on the court or the field has aspirations to go pro. I think being a pro basketball player is the best job. The thing I had to realize was that I can’t do every dream that I have.
497
The government can take smart steps to give all kids the healthy start they need to reach their full potential.
498
The biggest terrorist is the God of the Quran. I know this is very dangerous and this will offend many people. The more you follow the steps of the prophet of Islam and the God of Islam, the more you get close to being a terrorist.
Mosab Hassan Yousef
