Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things.
219

222
One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute.

If people concentrated on the really important things in life, there’d be a shortage of fishing poles.
224
Things don’t have to change the world to be important.
225
Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.
226
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
227
In our business, things look like a failure until they’re not. It’s pretty binary transitions.
228
There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.
229
I come into the peace of wild things who do not tax their lives with forethought of grief… For a time I rest in the grace of the world, and am free.
230
If you do things to the limit, and don’t purposely go over that limit, then I think it’s fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That’s what’s important.
231
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
232
People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?
233
You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.
234
I have a personal philosophy in life: If somebody else can do something that I’m doing, they should do it. And what I want to do is find things that would represent a unique contribution to the world – the contribution that only I, and my portfolio of talents, can make happen. Those are my priorities in life.
235
What consumerism really is, at its worst is getting people to buy things that don’t actually improve their lives.
236
Love conquers all things except poverty and toothache.
237
There are three things extremely hard: steel, a diamond, and to know one’s self.
238
The most dangerous man to any government is the man who is able to think things out… without regard to the prevailing superstitions and taboos. Almost inevitably he comes to the conclusion that the government he lives under is dishonest, insane, intolerable.
239
To God everything is beautiful, good, and just; humans, however, think some things are unjust and others just.
Heraclitus
240
It is not because things are difficult that we do not dare, it is because we do not dare that they are difficult.
241
If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.
242
The most important things in life aren’t things.
243
I think we’re going to the moon because it’s in the nature of the human being to face challenges. It’s by the nature of his deep inner soul… we’re required to do these things just as salmon swim upstream.
244
You must do the things you think you cannot do.
245
I am always looking forward to learn new things in my life.
246
Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.
247
True happiness comes from the joy of deeds well done, the zest of creating things new.
248
You don’t have to be a ‘person of influence‘ to be influential. In fact, the most influential people in my life are probably not even aware of the things they’ve taught me.
249
I don’t get upset over things I can control, because if I can control them there’s no sense in getting upset. And I don’t get upset over things I can’t control, because if I can’t control them there’s no sense in getting upset.
Mickey Rivers
250
A man is rich in proportion to the number of things he can afford to let alone.
251
Biology is the study of complicated things that have the appearance of having been designed with a purpose.
252
It is not by muscle, speed, or physical dexterity that great things are achieved, but by reflection, force of character, and judgment.
253
I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one’s life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.
254
Great things in business are never done by one person. They’re done by a team of people.
255
I’d rather regret the things I’ve done than regret the things I haven’t done.
256
I’m a tomboy at heart. I always like to say that I’m an ordinary girl doing extraordinary things.
257
All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.
258
You can control two things: your work ethic and your attitude about anything.
259
A great restaurant is one that just makes you feel like you’re not sure whether you went out or you came home and confuses you. If it can do both of those things at the same time, you’re hooked.
260
I’ve gotten to travel all over the world and meet all kinds of people and do all kinds of great things, so it’s, like, surreal. It just lets you know how time flies, especially when you’re having fun. It seems like time keeps going by faster as I get older.
261
It’s good to have money and the things that money can buy, but it’s good, too, to check up once in a while and make sure that you haven’t lost the things that money can’t buy.
George Horace Lorimer
262
Thus the sum of things is ever being reviewed, and mortals dependent one upon another. Some nations increase, others diminish, and in a short space the generations of living creatures are changed and like runners pass on the torch of life.
Lucretius
263
I was quiet, a loner. I was one of those children where, if you put me in a room and gave me some crayons and a pencils, you wouldn’t hear from me for nine straight hours. And I was always drawing racing cars and rockets and spaceships and planes, things that were very fast that would take me away.
264
One of the things I was taught in law school is that I’d never be able to think the same again – that being a lawyer is something that’s part of who I am as an individual now.
265
Things start out as hopes and end up as habits.
Lillian Hellman
266
I like the challenge of trying different things and wondering whether it’s going to work or whether I’m going to fall flat on my face.
267
Dragon fruit is very subtle, very delicate. So you want to be careful not to kill it with things that have very strong flavor.
268
Working hard and working smart sometimes can be two different things.
269
When you’re challenged to the extreme, you learn so much about yourself. And when you’re willing to give that ultimate sacrifice, when you’re willing to tackle a job or a task or a mission head-on and give 100%, you can achieve amazing things because you’re almost fearless.
270
While it may seem small, the ripple effects of small things is extraordinary.
271
Of all the things I’ve done, the most vital is coordinating those who work with me and aiming their efforts at a certain goal.
272
As I enter a new phase of life and my circle broadens, I start learning new things.
273
If you are going to achieve excellence in big things, you develop the habit in little matters. Excellence is not an exception, it is a prevailing attitude.
274
Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.
275
A life of leisure and a life of laziness are two things. There will be sleeping enough in the grave.
276
One of the best things that ever happened to me is that I’m a woman. That is the way all females should feel.
277
The only two things that scare me are God and the IRS.
278
Every judgement of conscience, be it right or wrong, be it about things evil in themselves or morally indifferent, is obligatory, in such wise that he who acts against his conscience always sins.
279
The trouble with having an open mind, of course, is that people will insist on coming along and trying to put things in it.
280
Great things are not done by impulse, but by a series of small things brought together.
281
Finishing is one of the most difficult things to do in cricket. A player can’t be a finisher in just 6 months or one year. You have to be used to that responsibility, keeping on doing what is required from you over a period of time.
282
I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.
283
The good and bad things are what form us as people… change makes us grow.
284
Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.
285
I’m an imperfect person. I’ve let anger, jealousy, all the emotions, get the best of me. If I go into books, word by word, little by little, they help re-center and re-ground me and put me on the right path. Life is a journey. I’m very focused on the things I do and have learned not to be pressured.
286
Put your own twist to it. That’s how you say relevant. Or things get old and boring.
287
Money and women. They’re two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn’t do for anything else. Same with money.
Satchel Paige
288
The secret of happiness is this: let your interests be as wide as possible, and let your reactions to the things and persons that interest you be as far as possible friendly rather than hostile.
289
Life is a journey. When we stop, things don’t go right.
290
There’s a lot of things we go through and we don’t even know why… At the end of the day, God has a purpose and a plan for you, and that’s kind of how I take that.
291
A man has to learn that he cannot command things, but that he can command himself; that he cannot coerce the wills of others, but that he can mold and master his own will: and things serve him who serves Truth; people seek guidance of him who is master of himself.
292
The more I learn about things, I realise how wrong I was before.
293
Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.
Randolph Bourne
294
Women desire six things: They want their husbands to be brave, wise, rich, generous, obedient to wife, and lively in bed.
Geoffrey Chaucer
295
You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.
296
There is no greater power in Heaven or on Earth than pure, unconditional love. The nature of the God force, the unseen intelligence in all things, which causes the material world and is the center of both the spiritual and physical plane, is best described as pure, unconditional love.
297
There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen.
298
If it weren’t for painting, I wouldn’t live; I couldn’t bear the extra strain of things.
299
We must all suffer one of two things: the pain of discipline or the pain of regret or disappointment.
300
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.
301
All things will be produced in superior quantity and quality, and with greater ease, when each man works at a single occupation, in accordance with his natural gifts, and at the right moment, without meddling with anything else.
302
Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.
303
I do have a childlike enthusiasm at times. I certainly enjoy life and get pleasure sometimes in childish things.
Brian Baumgartner
304
In this hectic life, we have no time to take care of ourselves, hence massage is needed for rejuvenation and stress reduction. A lot of people are looking for quick fixes: like, they are taking medications, and they are doing other things which are not healthy. But massage is very holistic and natural.
305
Believe deep down in your heart that you’re destined to do great things.
306
One of the many lessons that one learns in prison is, that things are what they are and will be what they will be.
307
Diplomacy is to do and say the nastiest things in the nicest way.
Isaac Goldberg
308
You don’t do things right once in a while. You do things right all the time.
309
Things don’t always go your way in football: there are always good and bad times. At the end of the day, you have to have a positive attitude and a strong mentality and not let any setbacks get you down. And that’s what I’ve done – I’ve tried to keep my composure, even when things aren’t going the way I’d like.
Giovani Dos Santos
310
I like to challenge myself. I like to learn – so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.
311
That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.
312
Sad things happen. They do. But we don’t need to live sad forever.
313
One thing I always tell players is that there are three bad things: Nothing good happens after midnight, nothing good happens when you’re around guns unless you’re going hunting, and you don’t want to mess around with women that you don’t know because a lot of times, bad things happen.
314
Animals praise a good day, a good hunt. They praise rain if they’re thirsty. That’s prayer. They don’t live an unconscious life, they simply have no language to talk about these things. But they are grateful for the good things that come along.
315
Ignorance of all things is an evil neither terrible nor excessive, nor yet the greatest of all; but great cleverness and much learning, if they be accompanied by a bad training, are a much greater misfortune.
316
‘The time has come,’ the walrus said, ‘to talk of many things: of shoes and ships – and sealing wax – of cabbages and kings.’
317
Sometimes we should express our gratitude for the small and simple things like the scent of the rain, the taste of your favorite food, or the sound of a loved one‘s voice.
318
The world is not black and white; there are lots of shades of grey. There are good things and bad things in every era, and I think it’s kind of very blindfolded to say one era was wonderful, as it was wonderful, but there were a lot of bad things as well.
319
The more one does and sees and feels, the more one is able to do, and the more genuine may be one’s appreciation of fundamental things like home, and love, and understanding companionship.
Amelia Earhart
320
To me, photography is an art of observation. It’s about finding something interesting in an ordinary place… I’ve found it has little to do with the things you see and everything to do with the way you see them.
321
All things are possible until they are proved impossible – and even the impossible may only be so, as of now.
322
Let others lead small lives, but not you. Let others argue over small things, but not you. Let others cry over small hurts, but not you. Let others leave their future in someone else’s hands, but not you.
323
The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I’ve got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.
324
It is said that power corrupts, but actually it’s more true that power attracts the corruptible. The sane are usually attracted by other things than power.
325
I’ve got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.
326
When things are going bad, don’t get all bummed out. Don’t get startled; don’t get frustrated. If you can say the word ‘good,’ guess what? It means you’re still alive. It means you’re still breathing.
327
Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality, but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things. If the door opens, go through it. Always go forwards.
David Soul
328
It’s never going to be a smooth sailing ship, there’s going to be ups and downs and I think one of the most important things to understand is not to ride the highs too high and ride the lows too low – it is a marathon and if you can just try to steady the ship as you go.
329
Be extra careful in the work environment with those who like to maintain their position through charm and being political, rather than getting things done. They are very prone to envying and hating those who work hard and get results. They will slander and sabotage you without any warning.
330
Never tell people how to do things. Tell them what to do and they will surprise you with their ingenuity.
331
If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water.
332
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.
Katherine Johnson
333
The fun of sitting around Pangong Lake with 40 guys around a fireplace, having a glass of wine… staying in one camp together… that’s an experience. Waking up at 5 in the morning, watching the sun come up. You don’t do these things in Bombay.
Gautam Singhania
334
Excellence is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
335
Small things make me smile.
336
I’m interested in that thing that happens where there’s a breaking point for some people and not for others. You go through such hardship, things that are almost impossibly difficult, and there’s no sign that it’s going to get any better, and that’s the point when people quit. But some don’t.
337
Productivity is being able to do things that you were never able to do before.
338
I’ve learned over the years that people are human and have mood swings, regardless of how talented they are. Today, I’m looking at life from a realistic point of view instead of the way I would want things to be.
Otis Williams
339
There are two things in life for which we are never truly prepared: twins.
340
Small things sometimes mean a whole lot!
341
I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.
342
Perhaps even these things, one day, will be pleasing to remember.
343
There are few things more dishonorable than misleading the young.
344
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.
345
Even nice things don’t make you happy when you’re tired.
346
The Tao that can be told is not the eternal Tao; the name that can be named is not the eternal name. The Nameless is the origin of Heaven and Earth; the Named is the mother of all things.
347
Happiness is a state of mind, you know. I don’t think you are permanently happy. One is happy about certain things and not so happy about others.
348
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.
349
There seems to be some perverse human characteristic that likes to make easy things difficult.
350
Chaos is inherent in all compounded things. Strive on with diligence.
351
Flowers are the sweetest things God ever made and forgot to put a soul into.
352
To accomplish great things we must first dream, then visualize, then plan… believe… act!
Alfred A. Montapert
353
Adversity is like a strong wind. It tears away from us all but the things that cannot be torn, so that we see ourselves as we really are.
Arthur Golden
354
Make it your habit not to be critical about small things.
355
Every man must do two things alone; he must do his own believing and his own dying.
356
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
357
358
Morality is the basis of things and truth is the substance of all morality.
359
I hope that posterity will judge me kindly, not only as to the things which I have explained, but also to those which I have intentionally omitted so as to leave to others the pleasure of discovery.
Rene Descartes
360
Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.
361
The moon is the accomplice of all things related to the heart.
362
I was asked to act when I couldn’t act. I was asked to sing ‘Funny Face’ when I couldn’t sing, and dance with Fred Astaire when I couldn’t dance – and do all kinds of things I wasn’t prepared for. Then I tried like mad to cope with it.
363
Men must be taught as if you taught them not, and things unknown proposed as things forgot.
364
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
365
The difference between equity and equality is that equality is everyone get the same thing and equity is everyone get the things they deserve.
366
We keep moving forward, opening new doors, and doing new things, because we’re curious and curiosity keeps leading us down new paths.
367
The glories of our blood and state, Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate, Death lays his icy hand on kings. Scepter and crown must tumble down, And, in the dust, be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade.
James Shirley
368
Time, the devourer of all things.
369
I startedOuter Banks,’ because there’s so much hype around it. I saw one episode and I didn’t really continue, but I got to keep going at it. Two of the actors on there were also in ‘Stranger Things,’ and all my friends always ask, ‘Oh my God, you know Madelyn Cline. She was in ‘Stranger Things’ too.’
370
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
371
I am blessed to have so many great things in my life – family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
372
Sometimes over things that I did, movies that didn’t turn out very well – you go, ‘Why did you do that?’ But in the end, I can’t regret them because I met amazing people. There was always something that was worth it.
373
Nobody in life gets exactly what they thought they were going to get. But if you work really hard and you’re kind, amazing things will happen.
374
I’m usually the kind of person where if someone tells me, ‘Oh my God, you have to watch this show. It’s amazing,’ I kind of want to go against it and not watch it. But for ‘Stranger Things,’ I couldn’t resist. I had to watch it.
375
Little else is requisite to carry a state to the highest degree of opulence from the lowest barbarism but peace, easy taxes, and a tolerable administration of justice: all the rest being brought about by the natural course of things.
376
Bad things do happen in the world, like war, natural disasters, disease. But out of those situations always arise stories of ordinary people doing extraordinary things.
377
The world is full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.
378
I don’t create companies for the sake of creating companies, but to get things done.
379
Why are we, as a nation so obsessed with foreign things? Is it a legacy of our colonial years? We want foreign television sets. We want foreign shirts. We want foreign technology. Why this obsession with everything imported?
380
All action takes place, so to speak, in a kind of twilight, which like a fog or moonlight, often tends to make things seem grotesque and larger than they really are.
Carl von Clausewitz
381
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
382
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.
383
The pursuit, even of the best things, ought to be calm and tranquil.
384
I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I’m not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person – love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship.
385
All the lessons are in nature. You look at the way rocks are formed – the wind and the water hitting them, shaping them, making them what they are. Things take time, you know?
386
One of the things that has to be faced is the process of waiting to change the system, how much we have got to do to find out who we are, where we have come from and where we are going.
Ella Baker
387
We need to look to the future. You can’t come up with new things unless you constantly forget the past. There’s no reason to keep wearing the same pair of pants.
Andrew Lau
388
As long as you’re not hurting anybody else, as long as you’re being kind to people and you’re doing what you love, only good things can come of it.
389
You cannot define a person on just one thing. You can’t just forget all these wonderful and good things that a person has done because one thing didn’t come off the way you thought it should come off.
390
Innocence is one of the most exciting things in the world.
391
You’re never too old to start learning, and you’re never too young to aim high and achieve great things.
392
I’m always trying to turn things upside down and see if they look any better.
Tibor Kalman
393
Change in all things is sweet.
394
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Chuck Noll
395
I think it’s important to find the little things in everyday life that make you happy.
396
The only power any government has is the power to crack down on criminals. Well, when there aren’t enough criminals, one makes them. One declares so many things to be a crime that it becomes impossible for men to live without breaking laws.
397
The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.
398
When I stepped out into the bright sunlight from the darkness of the movie house, I had only two things on my mind: Paul Newman and a ride home.
399
To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.
400
If your determination is fixed, I do not counsel you to despair. Few things are impossible to diligence and skill. Great works are performed not by strength, but perseverance.
401
I enjoy life when things are happening. I don’t care if it’s good things or bad things. That means you’re alive.
402
Indeed, this life is a test. It is a test of many things – of our convictions and priorities, our faith and our faithfulness, our patience and our resilience, and in the end, our ultimate desires.
403
Political leaders still think things can be done through force, but that cannot solve terrorism. Backwardness is the breeding ground of terror, and that is what we have to fight.
404
Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things.
405
I collect memories. I look for opportunities to try new things, go to new places, and meet new people all the time.
406
There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors.
407
There are only two things we should fight for. One is the defense of our homes and the other is the Bill of Rights.
Smedley Butler
408
I did many stupid things. I made many mistakes, but I learnt from everything. I still make mistakes; I still learn from them. Nobody is perfect.
409
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I’m not sure about the former.
410
If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
411
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
Frank A. Clark
412
The wise have always said the same things, and fools, who are the majority have always done just the opposite.
413
There are two things to aim at in life: first, to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind achieve the second.
414
Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.
415
We have an unknown distance yet to run, an unknown river to explore. What falls there are, we know not; what rocks beset the channel, we know not; what walls ride over the river, we know not. Ah, well! we may conjecture many things.
John Wesley Powell
416
Violence is one of the most fun things to watch.

True wisdom is less presuming than folly. The wise man doubteth often, and changeth his mind; the fool is obstinate, and doubteth not; he knoweth all things but his own ignorance.
Akhenaton
418
An intelligent person is never afraid or ashamed to find errors in his understanding of things.
419

Innovation is taking two things that already exist and putting them together in a new way.
Tom Freston

Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me.

Harriet Beecher Stowe
432
Don’t forget to tell yourself positive things daily! You must love yourself internally to glow externally.
433
Everyone has a different life story. Things happen rapidly for someone, and things move slowly for others.
434
Success in life is founded upon attention to the small things rather than to the large things; to the every day things nearest to us rather than to the things that are remote and uncommon.
Booker T. Washington
435
Lighten up, just enjoy life, smile more, laugh more, and don’t get so worked up about things.
436
Few things can help an individual more than to place responsibility on him, and to let him know that you trust him.
Booker T. Washington
437
Every day we have plenty of opportunities to get angry, stressed or offended. But what you’re doing when you indulge these negative emotions is giving something outside yourself power over your happiness. You can choose to not let little things upset you.
438
The only real things in life is the unexpected things. Everything else is just an illusion.
439
Practice yourself, for heaven’s sake in little things, and then proceed to greater.

441
Life is short, so go for things you enjoy.
442
If I were to say, ‘God, why me?’ about the bad things, then I should have said, ‘God, why me?’ about the good things that happened in my life.
Arthur Ashe
443
Research indicates that employees have three prime needs: Interesting work, recognition for doing a good job, and being let in on things that are going on in the company.
444
People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things – to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.
445
As a blind man has no idea of colors, so have we no idea of the manner by which the all-wise God perceives and understands all things.

Prayer doesn’t just change things – it changes us. If we are diligent in seeking God, slowly and surely we become better people.
456
One of the most beautiful things in the world is seeing a mommy with her kids. There’s nothing more beautiful, nothing more sublime.

The meaning of things lies not in the things themselves, but in our attitude towards them.
460
Memory is the treasury and guardian of all things.
461
Change can be frightening, and the temptation is often to resist it. But change almost always provides opportunities – to learn new things, to rethink tired processes, and to improve the way we work.
462
If I could talk to my younger self, I would just say that the path to great things is filled with a lot of stumbles, suffering, and challenges along the way. But if you have the right attitude and know that hard times will pass – and you get up each time – you will reach your destination.
463
If you play good cricket, a lot of bad things get hidden.
464
What makes things memorable is that they are meaningful, significant, colorful.
465
I have held many things in my hands, and I have lost them all; but whatever I have placed in God’s hands, that I still possess.
466
War is an ugly thing, but not the ugliest of things. The decayed and degraded state of moral and patriotic feeling which thinks that nothing is worth war is much worse.
467
Good things happen when you get your priorities straight.
468
Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.
469
Just try new things. Don’t be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar, all right?

You have to cherish things in a different way when you know the clock is ticking, you are under pressure.
471
I’m the kind of person who doesn’t really focus on more negativity. I’m a positive person, and I look at things in a positive way.
472
Set your sights high, the higher the better. Expect the most wonderful things to happen, not in the future but right now. Realize that nothing is too good. Allow absolutely nothing to hamper you or hold you up in any way.
Eileen Caddy
473
There are an endless number of things to discover about robotics. A lot of it is just too fantastic for people to believe.
474
Success, to me, is just doing things that I’m really proud of.
475
Few things in the world are more powerful than a positive push. A smile. A world of optimism and hope. A ‘you can do it’ when things are tough.
476
There are only two things. Truth and lies. Truth is indivisible, hence it cannot recognize itself; anyone who wants to recognize it has to be a lie.
477
Fight for the things that you care about, but do it in a way that will lead others to join you.
478
In order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: They must be fit for it. They must not do too much of it. And they must have a sense of success in it.
479
Being natural is incredibly empowering for women because it’s just who you are. You’re embracing all the beautiful things about you from your head to your toes. Because when you mask so much of your natural beauty, people don’t get to see that.
480
There are positive things that come of social media as well as negative.
481
You can’t jump from little things to big things. It just takes time and patience.
482
I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.
483
There are many things that are essential to arriving at true peace of mind, and one of the most important is faith, which cannot be acquired without prayer.
484
A healthy friendship is one where you share your true feelings without fearing the end of the relationship. It’s also one where you sometimes have to let things that bug you slide. The tough moments will make you wiser about yourself and each other. They will also make you stronger and closer as friends.
485
Things are not going to be easy, things are not going to be fair. Just do your best.
486
The more things change, the more they are the same.
Alphonse Karr
487
It is better wither to be silent, or to say things of more value than silence. Sooner throw a pearl at hazard than an idle or useless word; and do not say a little in many words, but a great deal in a few.
Pythagoras
488
I hate books; they only teach us to talk about things we know nothing about.
489
The more often we see the things around us – even the beautiful and wonderful things – the more they become invisible to us. That is why we often take for granted the beauty of this world: the flowers, the trees, the birds, the clouds – even those we love. Because we see things so often, we see them less and less.
490
I never drink water because of the disgusting things that fish do in it.
491
The most beautiful things are not associated with money; they are memories and moments. If you don’t celebrate those, they can pass you by.
492
Many big and small things happen in our lives, almost on daily basis, and I hope that everyone would not lose the trust that they have in themselves, and never lose positive attitude.
Gong Hyo-jin
493
The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become.
494
Effective leadership is putting first things first. Effective management is discipline, carrying it out.
495
It is not so important to be serious as it is to be serious about the important things. The monkey wears an expression of seriousness which would do credit to any college student, but the monkey is serious because he itches.
Robert M. Hutchins
496
Look! Don’t be deceived by appearances – men and things are not what they seem. All who are not on the rock are in the sea!
William Booth
497
Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.

Inspiration comes from within yourself. One has to be positive. When you’re positive, good things happen.
Deep Roy

Above the cloud with its shadow is the star with its light. Above all things reverence thyself.
Pythagoras
501
Most human beings have an almost infinite capacity for taking things for granted.
502
Sometimes if you want to see a change for the better, you have to take things into your own hands.
503
As pessimistic as I am about the nature of human beings and our capacity for atrocity and malevolence and betrayal and laziness and inertia, and all those things, I think we can transcend all that and set things straight.
504
Man will do many things to get himself loved, he will do all things to get himself envied.
505
Sometimes things aren’t clear right away. That’s where you need to be patient and persevere and see where things lead.
Mary Pierce
506
Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure… than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat.
507
There are so many great things in life; why dwell on negativity?
508
To be without some of the things you want is an indispensable part of happiness.
509
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies.
510
Experience is the teacher of all things.
Julius Caesar
511
Every day, I like to wake up and remind myself to be grateful of the simple things.
512
I still get wildly enthusiastic about little things… I play with leaves. I skip down the street and run against the wind.
513
A concerted effort to preserve our heritage is a vital link to our cultural, educational, aesthetic, inspirational, and economic legacies – all of the things that quite literally make us who we are.
Steve Berry
514
I’m a human being. I’ve got opinions, I’m not always right, I’m not always on time, I don’t always say things in the proper way, but my intentions are always extremely pure.
515
I never learn anything talking. I only learn things when I ask questions.
516
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.
Bruce Lee
517
Sometimes I wish that I could go into a time machine right now and just look at my self and say, ‘Calm down. Things are gonna be fine. Things are gonna be all great. Just relax.’
Tristan Wilds
518
I think you can make fun of anything except things people can’t help. They can’t help their race or their sex or their age, so you ridicule their pretension or their ego instead. You can ridicule ideas – ideas don’t have feelings. You can ridicule an idea that someone holds without hurting them.
519
I’d much rather hang out in a cafe. That’s where things are really happening.
Joe Sacco
520
I’ve trained myself to illuminate the things in my personality that are likable and to hide and protect the things that are less likeable.
521
Humankind has not woven the web of life. We are but one thread within it. Whatever we do to the web, we do to ourselves. All things are bound together. All things connect.
522
Accept the things to which fate binds you, and love the people with whom fate brings you together, but do so with all your heart.
523
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
Humphry Davy
524
You can look in the mirror and find a million things wrong with yourself. Or you can look in the mirror and think, ‘I feel good, I have my health, and I’m so blessed.’ That’s the way I choose to look at it.
525
All things by immortal power. Near of far, to each other linked are, that thou canst not stir a flower without troubling of a star.
Francis Thompson
526
I just owe almost everything to my father and it’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
527
If we are honest with ourselves, we have to admit that sometimes our assumptions and preconceived notions are wrong, and therefore, our interpretation of events is incorrect. This causes us to overreact, to take things personally, or to judge people unfairly.
528
One of the nice things about getting older is that you come to understand that you can integrate multiple aspects of your life together. When you’re young, you think everything has to be binary, as that’s exactly how you feel at that age.
529
We really have the most beautiful planet in our solar system. None other can sustain life like we know it. None other has blue water and white clouds covering colorful landmasses filled with thriving, beautiful, living things like human beings.
530
Times may have changed, but there are some things that are always with us – loneliness is one of them.
531
The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once.
532
What should young people do with their lives today? Many things, obviously. But the most daring thing is to create stable communities in which the terrible disease of loneliness can be cured.
533
The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.
Horace Walpole
534
If you don’t lose, you cannot enjoy the victories. So I have to accept both things.
535
But time growing old teaches all things.
536
To live in this world, you must be able to do three things: to love what is mortal; to hold it against your bones knowing your own life depends on it; and, when the time comes to let it go, to let it go.
537
Sometimes the bad things that happen in our lives put us directly on the path to the best things that will ever happen to us.
538
Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.
539
You can’t regulate child labor. You can’t regulate slavery. Some things are just wrong.
540
Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.
Hypatia
541
Life goes by fast. Enjoy it. Calm down. It’s all funny. Next. Everyone gets so upset about the wrong things.
542
In order for a war to be just, three things are necessary. First, the authority of the sovereign. Secondly, a just cause. Thirdly, a rightful intention.
543
Life is difficult for everyone; everyone has bad days. Everyone has trouble in their life, because it doesn’t matter how rich you are: Sickness and trouble and worry and love, these things will mess with you at every level of life.
544
And now we welcome the new year. Full of things that have never been.
545
We proved that we are still a people capable of doing big things and tackling our biggest challenges.
546
I think it’s very important to have a feedback loop, where you’re constantly thinking about what you’ve done and how you could be doing it better. I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
547
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
548
Great things are not accomplished by those who yield to trends and fads and popular opinion.
549
As you get older, the cliches of life ring true. It’s the simple things that matter most: your family, the people you love, your health and sanity.
550
Some things are so unexpected that no one is prepared for them.
Leo Rosten
551
I have just three things to teach: simplicity, patience, compassion. These three are your greatest treasures.
552
I do not regret the things I’ve done, but those I did not do.
Rory Cochrane
553
Ensuring quality higher education is one of the most important things we can do for future generations.
554
The things I want to know are in books; my best friend is the man who’ll get me a book I ain’t read.
555
Don’t let fear or insecurity stop you from trying new things. Believe in yourself. Do what you love. And most importantly, be kind to others, even if you don’t like them.
556
Do not spoil what you have by desiring what you have not; remember that what you now have was once among the things you only hoped for.
Epicurus
557
Small things amuse small minds.
558
Life is tough, and things don’t always work out well, but we should be brave and go on with our lives.
Suga
559
The things that we love tell us what we are.
560
Too many people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people they don’t like.
561
To practice five things under all circumstances constitutes perfect virtue; these five are gravity, generosity of soul, sincerity, earnestness, and kindness.
562
You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don’t enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It’s not the law-abiding citizens, it’s not the person who uses it as a hobby.
563
Have patience with all things, But, first of all with yourself.
Saint Francis de Sales
564
In the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures. For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.
565
The softest things in the world overcome the hardest things in the world.
566
Fixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done.
567
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.
568
If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
569
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.
570
We spend money we don’t have, on things we don’t need, to make impressions that don’t matter.
571
Surround yourself with people and things that inspire you. Learn everything you can.
572
All things excellent are as difficult as they are rare.
573
You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.
574
I just got an ear for the kind of things I like.
575
Notice the small things. The rewards are inversely proportional.
Liz Vassey
576
Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.
577
Don’t be intimidated by what you don’t know. That can be your greatest strength and ensure that you do things differently from everyone else.
578
Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you’ve started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can’t get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?
579
The goal of education is not to increase the amount of knowledge but to create the possibilities for a child to invent and discover, to create men who are capable of doing new things.
580
God gave me life to continue to do things that I would never have done.
581
We can’t change the past but we can learn from history and remember the important things – the sacrifices our loved ones made, and the price of our freedom today.
582
There’s three things men always talk about – women, sports, and cars.
Mario Lopez
583
You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren’t true, but you never hear about the positive.
584
I’ll say things that are serious and put them in a joke form so people can enjoy them. We laugh to keep from crying.
585
I do not like to repeat successes, I like to go on to other things.
586
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.
587
I would say to always follow your dream. And dream big because my whole career, including any of the things that I’ve accomplished, I never thought in a million years that I would be here. So it just proves that once you believe in yourself, and you put your mind to something, you can do it.
588
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.
589
We don’t get a chance to do that many things, and every one should be really excellent. Because this is our life. Life is brief, and then you die, you know? So this is what we’ve chosen to do with our life.
590
I’m interested in things that change the world or that affect the future and wondrous, new technology where you see it, and you’re like, ‘Wow, how did that even happen? How is that possible?’
591
One of the most important things about looking youthful is to have a modern haircut.
Evelyn Lauder
592
Common Sense is that which judges the things given to it by other senses.
593
Love feels no burden, thinks nothing of trouble, attempts what is above its strength, pleads no excuse of impossibility; for it thinks all things lawful for itself, and all things possible.
594
I see great things in baseball. It’s our game – the American game.
595
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
596
You have to always continue to strive no matter how hard things get, no matter how troubled you feel. No matter how tough things get, no matter how many times you lose, you keep trying to win.
597
For in the true nature of things, if we rightly consider, every green tree is far more glorious than if it were made of gold and silver.
598
Most of the important things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.
599
I used to work with autistic children, and they said a lot of funny things to me.
600
There are three things in the world that deserve no mercy, hypocrisy, fraud, and tyranny.
Frederick William Robertson
601
Caring – about people, about things, about life – is an act of maturity.
602
Isn’t it strange that we talk least about the things we think about most?
603
There are known knowns. These are things we know that we know. There are known unknowns. That is to say, there are things that we know we don’t know. But there are also unknown unknowns. There are things we don’t know we don’t know.
604
You can’t be all things to all people.
605
Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.
606
I do not love to be printed on every occasion, much less to be dunned and teased by foreigners about mathematical things or to be thought by our own people to be trifling away my time about them when I should be about the king’s business.
607
A tailor is a person’s best friend as far as I’m concerned, because you can take things that fit OK or look OK, and if you get them tailored, they can be fabulous.
608
Three things are necessary for the salvation of man: to know what he ought to believe; to know what he ought to desire; and to know what he ought to do.
609
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.
610
If you look at it ecologically, deforestation is high on the list of things which bring devastation. You cut down trees to build homes, for fuel, and you end up with no trees left, and you have to move on. If you take the earth as a whole, eventually there’s nowhere to move on to.
611
A man can do all things if he but wills them.
Leon Battista Alberti
612
Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.
613
For what is a man, what has he got? If not himself, then he has naught. To say the things he truly feels, and not the words of one who kneels.
Paul Anka
614
The devil has put a penalty on all things we enjoy in life. Either we suffer in health or we suffer in soul or we get fat.
615
Any soldier worth his salt should be antiwar. And still there are things worth fighting for.
616
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
617
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
618
The bad thing about being a famous comedian is that every now and then someone approaches me to tell an old joke. Don’t tell me jokes – I have that. People also say the weirdest things, sometimes sarcastic things, and even evil things. They like to provoke to get a reaction.
619
All things truly wicked start from innocence.
620
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
621
The American Dream is a term that is often used but also often misunderstood. It isn’t really about becoming rich or famous. It is about things much simpler and more fundamental than that.
622
Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.
Epicurus
623
Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
624
It’s always good to change and keep things fresh, whether it’s a hairstyle or wardrobe.
625
Humans are creatures of habit. If you quit when things get tough, it gets that much easier to quit the next time. On the other hand, if you force yourself to push through it, the grit begins to grow in you.
626
Great and glorious God, and Thou Lord Jesus, I pray you shed abroad your light in the darkness of my mind. Be found of me, Lord, so that in all things I may act only in accordance with Thy holy will.
627
Joy is not in things; it is in us.
628
It doesn’t pay to say too much when you are mad enough to choke. For the word that stings the deepest is the word that is never spoke, Let the other fellow wrangle till the storm has blown away, then he’ll do a heap of thinking about the things you didn’t say.
Jules Renard
629
A man’s face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man’s thoughts and aspirations.
630
It’s the little things that count, hundreds of ’em.
Cliff Shaw
631
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.
632

Struggle teaches you a lot of things, and I am happy that I witnessed a roller coaster ride. The journey has improved me as a person and made me more mature.
641

One of the things that attracts me to vintage and antique things is they have stories, and even if I don’t know the stories, I make them up.
659
I don’t believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you’re spending your time doing something worthwhile.
660
There are two things that won’t last long in this world, and that’s dogs chasing cars and pros putting for pars.

667
Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That’s truly about the game, and in some ways that’s about life too.
668
Human nature is above all things lazy.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
669

In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.
692
The biggest challenge of being a pastry chef is that, unlike other types of chefs, you can’t throw things together at a farmer‘s market. When you’re working with baking powder and a formula, you have to be exact. If not, things can go wrong.
Carla Hall
693
Things turn out best for the people who make the best of the way things turn out.
694
I think it’s difficult to say what exactly made me become a successful DJ. It depends on so many different things. If I were given an award, I would thank my family, friends, Tiesto and the great team behind me for all their support and hard work. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
695
The media transforms the great silence of things into its opposite. Formerly constituting a secret, the real now talks constantly. News reports, information, statistics, and surveys are everywhere.

700
At some stage in most people’s lives, things turn upside down, and nothing is as you expected it to be.
701
Things never go the way you expect them to. That’s both the joy and frustration in life. I’m finding as I get older that I don’t mind, though. It’s the surprises that tickle me the most, the things you don’t see coming.

I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.

The number one benefit of information technology is that it empowers people to do what they want to do. It lets people be creative. It lets people be productive. It lets people learn things they didn’t think they could learn before, and so in a sense it is all about potential.
706
It is wise to persuade people to do things and make them think it was their own idea.
707
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ’cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.
708
Happiness is actually found in simple things, such as taking my nephew around the island by bicycle or seeing the stars at night. We go to coffee shops or see airplanes land at the airport.

713

714
There are two different things: there’s grilling, and there’s barbecue. Grilling is when people say, ‘We’re going to turn up the heat, make it really hot and sear a steak, sear a burger, cook a chicken.’ Barbecue is going low and slow.
715
The alchemists in their search for gold discovered many other things of greater value.

724
I think we judge talent wrong. What do we see as talent? I think I have made the same mistake myself. We judge talent by people’s ability to strike a cricket ball. The sweetness, the timing. That’s the only thing we see as talent. Things like determination, courage, discipline, temperament, these are also talent.
725
Beauty in things exists in the mind which contemplates them.
726
Harmony makes small things grow, lack of it makes great things decay.
727

731

Pauly D
732
