Our flag honors those who have fought to protect it, and is a reminder of the sacrifice of our nation’s founders and heroes. As the ultimate icon of America’s storied history, the Stars and Stripes represents the very best of this nation.
203
Those who play with the devil‘s toys will be brought by degrees to wield his sword.
204
It is like a voyage of discovery into unknown lands, seeking not for new territory but for new knowledge. It should appeal to those with a good sense of adventure.
Frederick Sanger
205
After 50 years of smoking unfiltered cigarettes, my father died, too young, of a massive heart attack. He was 69. It’s almost certain that all those years of nicotine inhalation were a major contributor to his clogged arteries.
206
I have a problem when people say something’s real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I’ve always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words.
207
Those Dutchmen had hardly any imagination or fantasy, but their good taste and their scientific knowledge of composition were enormous.
208
Some people are your relatives but others are your ancestors, and you choose the ones you want to have as ancestors. You create yourself out of those values.
Ralph Ellison
209
Those who want the Government to regulate matters of the mind and spirit are like men who are so afraid of being murdered that they commit suicide to avoid assassination.
210
Always remember that others may hate you but those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
211
Have you learned the lessons only of those who admired you, and were tender with you, and stood aside for you? Have you not learned great lessons from those who braced themselves against you, and disputed passage with you?
212
Those who have learned to walk on the threshold of the unknown worlds, by means of what are commonly termed par excellence the exact sciences, may then, with the fair white wings of imagination, hope to soar further into the unexplored amidst which we live.
213
People who achieve the highest levels of success – whether in business or in raising families or simply in discovering fulfillment and satisfaction and purpose in life – are those who place their focus on other people rather than themselves.
214
The ship of democracy, which has weathered all storms, may sink through the mutiny of those on board.
Grover Cleveland
215
No one succeeds without effort… Those who succeed owe their success to perseverance.
216
Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have.
Rene Descartes
217
A state is better governed which has few laws, and those laws strictly observed.
Rene Descartes
218
Those who have no record of what their forebears have accomplished lose the inspiration which comes from the teaching of biography and history.
219
All ambitions are lawful except those which climb upward on the miseries or credulities of mankind.
220
The friend in my adversity I shall always cherish most. I can better trust those who helped to relieve the gloom of my dark hours than those who are so ready to enjoy with me the sunshine of my prosperity.
221
Bores can be divided into two classes; those who have their own particular subject, and those who do not need a subject.
222
Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle.
223
I despise people who go to the gutter on either the right or the left and hurl rocks at those in the center.
224
It’s not the events of our lives that shape us, but our beliefs as to what those events mean.
225
You have to listen to the people who have a negative opinion as well as those who have positive opinion. Just to make sure that you are blending all these opinions in your mind before a decision is made.
226
Vox populi vox dei: the voice of the people is the voice of God. The slogan was useful for those who first attempted to substitute the people for God as the source of political authority. Their attempt was ultimately so successful that God no longer seems to be needed in government.
227
You will learn more from your failures than your successes – so embrace those mistakes, as difficult as that sounds, and grow from them. When a project is successful, you’re never really sure why, because so many elements come into play. However, when you fail, you always know why. That is how you learn and grow.
228
Use what talents you possess; the woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang best.
Henry Van Dyke
229
Be loyal to those who are loyal to you. And respect everyone, even your enemies and competition.
230
Happiness is a byproduct of function, purpose, and conflict; those who seek happiness for itself seek victory without war.
231
I don’t want to have lived in vain like most people. I want to be useful or bring enjoyment to all people, even those I’ve never met. I want to go on living even after my death!
232
Scientific discovery and scientific knowledge have been achieved only by those who have gone in pursuit of it without any practical purpose whatsoever in view.
Max Planck
233
Summer afternoon, summer afternoon; to me those have always been the two most beautiful words in the English language.
234
There’s no question that as science, knowledge and technology advance, that we will attempt to do more significant things. And there’s no question that we will always have to temper those things with ethics.
235
Few would deny the importance of tackling online hatred or child abuse content. The internet, after all, has become a key weapon for those who disseminate and incite hatred and violence against minorities, and for those who pose a horrifying threat to children.
236
Tough times not only make you stronger, but you grow from those experiences. The same is true with fighting. You have to lean into it.
237
Make new friends, but keep the old; Those are silver, these are gold.
Joseph Parry
238
Few are those who see with their own eyes and feel with their own hearts.
239
If you can’t see it, you can’t be it. It’s just having those brilliant women break out and do something – then other girls can say, ‘I can do it, too!’
240
Those men are most apt to be obsequious and conciliating abroad, who are under the discipline of shrews at home.
241
The American dream comes from opportunity. The opportunity comes from our founding principles, our core values that’s held together and protected by the Constitution. Those ideas are neither Republican, Democrat, conservative, liberal, white, or black. Those are American ideologies.
242
Decisions are made by those who show up.
243
At times our own light goes out and is rekindled by a spark from another person. Each of us has cause to think with deep gratitude of those who have lighted the flame within us.
244
Those who say religion has nothing to do with politics do not know what religion is.
245
It hasn’t always been easy. There’s a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.
246
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.
247
Where do we enroll in Life 101? Where are the classes dealing with the loss of a job, the death of a loved one, the failure of a relationship? Unfortunately, those lessons are mostly learned through trial by fire and the school of hard knocks.
248
Being a teen can be tough. Just try to surround yourself with really good friends that really have your back, and also be a really good friend to those who really care about you. If you’re not sure about certain things, talk to your friends that you trust and your family.
249
Don’t get the impression that you arouse my anger. You see, one can only be angry with those he respects.
250
The most virtuous are those who content themselves with being virtuous without seeking to appear so.
251
Those who write clearly have readers, those who write obscurely have commentators.
252
You will know that forgiveness has begun when you recall those who hurt you and feel the power to wish them well.
253
A good Catholic meddles in politics, offering the best of himself, so that those who govern can govern. But what is the best that we can offer to those who govern? Prayer!
254
They died hard, those savage men – like wounded wolves at bay. They were filthy, and they were lousy, and they stunk. And I loved them.
255
The bravest are surely those who have the clearest vision of what is before them, glory and danger alike, and yet notwithstanding go out to meet it.
Pericles
256
Art is for anyone. It just isn’t for everyone. Still, over the past decade, its audience has hugely grown, and that’s irked those outside the art world, who get irritated at things like incomprehensibility or money.
257
Success makes so many people hate you. I wish it wasn’t that way. It would be wonderful to enjoy success without seeing envy in the eyes of those around you.
258
I’m not into that Keith Richard trip of having all those guitars in different tunings. I never liked the Rolling Stones much anyway.
259
Even when bad things happen you have to try to use those bad things in a positive manner and really just take the positive out of it.
Natalie du Toit
260
When you feel sad, it’s okay. It’s not the end of the world. Everyone has those days when you doubt yourself, and when you feel like everything you do sucks, but then there’s those days when you feel like Superman. It’s just the balance of the world. I just write to feel better.
261
On Memorial Day, I don’t want to only remember the combatants. There were also those who came out of the trenches as writers and poets, who started preaching peace, men and women who have made this world a kinder place to live.
262
I told the doctor I broke my leg in two places. He told me to quit going to those places.
263
I think that true love, fairy tales, the positive messages of positive stories – I don’t think those ever die. Sometimes we like to hide them in sarcasm or irony, but they are still there, and they still move us.
264
Just knowing you don’t have the answers is a recipe for humility, openness, acceptance, forgiveness, and an eagerness to learn – and those are all good things.
265
Few will have the greatness to bend history itself; but each of us can work to change a small portion of events, and in the total; of all those acts will be written the history of this generation.
266
Those convinced against their will are of the same opinion still.
267
When I take good care of myself, it lifts my spirits, boosts my confidence, and makes me feel strong. When someone tries to throw me shade, it bounces right off. I look those haters straight in the eye, keep my chin up and shoulders back. Because I know I’m a fierce queen – and they know it, too.
268
Sometimes it’s like watching a train wreck. You’re uncomfortable, but you just can’t help yourself. Some of those so-called bad interviews actually turned into compelling television.
269
Little things seem nothing, but they give peace, like those meadow flowers which individually seem odorless but all together perfume the air.
Georges Bernanos
270
Marriage is good for those who are afraid to sleep alone at night.
St. Jerome
271
It seems to be a law of nature, inflexible and inexorable, that those who will not risk cannot win.
272
There are two kinds of people: those who say to God, ‘Thy will be done,’ and those to whom God says, ‘All right, then, have it your way.’
273
It’s not easy to work with me, I recognize that. It’s not easy if those people aren’t as perfectionistic as I am.
274
I believe that good things come to those who work.
Wilt Chamberlain
275
Positive thinking is more than just a tagline. It changes the way we behave. And I firmly believe that when I am positive, it not only makes me better, but it also makes those around me better.
276
I have no choice about whether or not I have Parkinson‘s. I have nothing but choices about how I react to it. In those choices, there’s freedom to do a lot of things in areas that I wouldn’t have otherwise found myself in.
277
The sun, with all those planets revolving around it and dependent on it, can still ripen a bunch of grapes as if it had nothing else in the universe to do.
Galileo Galilei
278
The happiness and peace attained by those satisfied by the nectar of spiritual tranquillity is not attained by greedy persons restlessly moving here and there.
279
I swear by that old expression, ‘One monkey don’t stop no show!’ The reality is, we still have some good men out there, and we should hail those men as the kings they are.
280
I don’t fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.
281
It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.
282
Almost any illiquid asset today lends itself well to moving onto the blockchain and becoming tokenized. It will create a deeper market with improved price discovery and should increase the value of those assets.
David O. Sacks
283
Hope is the only good that is common to all men; those who have nothing else possess hope still.
Thales
284
Truth is something which can’t be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning.
285
I made ‘LS4TS2’ for women, my Day 1’s, the trenches, and all those that doubted me.
286
Those who cannot work with their hearts achieve but a hollow, half-hearted success that breeds bitterness all around.
287
We find comfort among those who agree with us – growth among those who don’t.
Frank A. Clark
288
The name, Seventh-day Adventist, is a standing rebuke to the Protestant world. Here is the line of distinction between the worshipers of God, and those who worship the beast, and receive his mark. The great conflict is between the commandments of God and the requirements of the beast.
289
In the black culture, certain kids are given nicknames that they roll with forever; the nicknames outweigh their real names. I’m one of those scenarios.
290
There is strength in numbers, but organizing those numbers is one of the great challenges.
291
I’m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I’ve always been a freak. So I’ve been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I’m one of those people.
292
It’s always great to see old friends, especially those I have not been able to see in 15 months.
293
The responses of the baby monkey are very similar to those of a human baby.
Harry Harlow
294
We will not agree on every issue. But let us respect those differences and respect one another. Let us recognize that we do not serve an ideology or a political party; we serve the people.
John Lynch
295
My expectations on myself exceed any of those put on me.
296
The senses deceive from time to time, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once.
Rene Descartes
297
Marriage is like a cage; one sees the birds outside desperate to get in, and those inside equally desperate to get out.
298
Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.
299
Lead by example. Be better than those you despise.
300
The sea does not reward those who are too anxious, too greedy, or too impatient. One should lie empty, open, choiceless as a beach – waiting for a gift from the sea.
301
To all those who have suffered as a consequence of our troubled past I extend my sincere thoughts and deep sympathy. With the benefit of historical hindsight we can all see things which we would wish had been done differently or not at all.
302
Surround yourself with people who take their work seriously, but not themselves, those who work hard and play hard.
303
Jay-Z called me onstage during my song that I produced for ‘Watch the Throne?’ That was surreal, man. One of those situations I’ll never forget. I’ll be able to show my kids the footage of when Jay-Z brought me onstage.
Hit-Boy
304
It is hard to imagine a more stupid or more dangerous way of making decisions than by putting those decisions in the hands of people who pay no price for being wrong.
305
You can be a Christian. You can be Jew. You can be a Muslim. You can be atheist. This is your own choice. But the law, the constitution, the law of the people is above God’s law. So when somebody arrives in Europe, people need to accept those rules.
Charles Michel
306
Those who ‘abjure’ violence can do so only because others are committing violence on their behalf.
307
Those who are at war with others are not at peace with themselves.
308
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation. War is hell.
309
We gazed dreamily at the Milky Way and once in a while caught some shooting stars. Times like those gave me the opportunity to wonder and ask all those very basic questions. That sense of awe for the heavens started there.
310
In America the young are always ready to give to those who are older than themselves the full benefits of their inexperience.
311
Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds. The most powerful ones are those we can’t even describe, aren’t even aware of.
Ellen Goodman
312
You can’t control where you were born, the family you were born into, what you look like; you can’t control any of those circumstances. The only thing you can control is how you react.
313
The rich are those who play to win. The middle class plays not to lose.
314
Justice will not come to Athens until those who are not injured are as indignant as those who are injured.
Thucydides
315
Those who stand at the threshold of life always waiting for the right time to change are like the man who stands at the bank of a river waiting for the water to pass so he can cross on dry land.
316
Good things happen to those who hustle.
Chuck Noll
317
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
318
Just as fossil fuels from conventional sources are finite and are becoming depleted, those from difficult sources will also run out. If we put all our energy and resources into continued fossil fuel extraction, we will have lost an opportunity to have invested in renewable energy.
319
A good character is the best tombstone. Those who loved you and were helped by you will remember you when forget-me-nots have withered. Carve your name on hearts, not on marble.
320
There are those who wrap themselves in flags and blow the tinny trumpet of patriotism as a means of fooling the people.
321
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.
322
Wall Street is the only place that people ride to in a Rolls Royce to get advice from those who take the subway.
323
However good a Constitution may be, if those who are implementing it are not good, it will prove to be bad. However bad a Constitution may be, if those implementing it are good, it will prove to be good.
324
Those who know how to think need no teachers.
325
The lover of life makes the whole world into his family, just as the lover of the fair sex creates his from all the lovely women he has found, from those that could be found, and those who are impossible to find.
326
My kids are my No. 1 priority. They’re the light in my everyday life. The sunshine. The miracle. Those eyes. Those smiles. At the same time, I have an extended, amazing family that is my audience. All these people have been with me for such a long time. I have these two responsibilities.
327
God has equipped you to handle difficult things. In fact, He has already planted the seeds of discipline and self-control inside you. You just have to water those seeds with His Word to make them grow!
328
The law condemns and punishes only actions within certain definite and narrow limits; it thereby justifies, in a way, all similar actions that lie outside those limits.
329
If there is no word that means you don’t have the concept. In North Korea they eliminate the words: depression, stress, dictatorship, human rights. You cannot think of those. That’s why all the brainwashing was possible.
330
I have learned that to be with those I like is enough.
331
In a meadow full of flowers, you cannot walk through and breathe those smells and see all those colors and remain angry. We have to support the beauty, the poetry, of life.
332
Food, to me, is always about cooking and eating with those you love and care for.
333
Those who know the least obey the best.
George Farquhar
334
Justice is conscience, not a personal conscience but the conscience of the whole of humanity. Those who clearly recognize the voice of their own conscience usually recognize also the voice of justice.
335
I write for those women who do not speak, for those who do not have a voice because they were so terrified, because we are taught to respect fear more than ourselves. We’ve been taught that silence would save us, but it won’t.
336
Hope lies in dreams, in imagination, and in the courage of those who dare to make dreams into reality.
Jonas Salk
337
Men do not accept their prophets and slay them, but they love their martyrs and worship those whom they have tortured to death.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
338
History isn’t something you look back at and say it was inevitable, it happens because people make decisions that are sometimes very impulsive and of the moment, but those moments are cumulative realities.
339
Those who aim at great deeds must also suffer greatly.
340
I regret those times when I’ve chosen the dark side. I’ve wasted enough time not being happy.
341
We must reject not only the stereotypes that others have of us but also those that we have of ourselves.
342
Love is the ability and willingness to allow those that you care for to be what they choose for themselves without any insistence that they satisfy you.
343
The most important service to others is service to those who are not like yourself.
J. Irwin Miller
344
It is really rare to find someone you really, really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.
345
The most remarkable discovery in all of astronomy is that the stars are made of atoms of the same kind as those on the earth.
346
During the Great Depression, African Americans were faced with problems that were not unlike those experienced by the most disadvantaged groups in society. The Great Depression had a leveling effect, and all groups really experienced hard times: poor whites, poor blacks.
William Julius Wilson
347
I will not agree to go to war in the Donbass. I know there are a lot of hotheads, especially those who hold rallies and say, ‘Let’s go fight and win it all back!’ But at what price? What is the cost? It’s another story of lives and land. And I won’t do it.
348
Sudden glory is the passion which maketh those grimaces called laughter.
349
Valor is a gift. Those having it never know for sure whether they have it till the test comes. And those having it in one test never know for sure if they will have it when the next test comes.
350
Wretched are those who are vindictive and spiteful.
351
Revenge… is like a rolling stone, which, when a man hath forced up a hill, will return upon him with a greater violence, and break those bones whose sinews gave it motion.
352
Nothing is too small. Nothing is too, quote-unquote, ordinary or insignificant. Those are the things that make up the measure of our days, and they’re the things that sustain us. And they’re the things that certainly can become worthy of poetry.
353
I love writing but hate starting. The page is awfully white, and it says, ‘You may have fooled some of the people some of the time, but those days are over, giftless. I’m not your agent, and I’m not your mommy; I’m a white piece of paper. You wanna dance with me?’ and I really, really don’t. I’ll go peaceable-like.
354
Among those who dislike oppression are many who like to oppress.
355
Those who say it can’t be done are usually interrupted by others doing it.
356
Of all those arts in which the wise excel, Nature’s chief masterpiece is writing well.
Andre Breton
357
Life consists not in holding good cards but in playing those you hold well.
358
This world is a comedy to those that think, a tragedy to those that feel.
Horace Walpole
359
The smallest minority on earth is the individual. Those who deny individual rights cannot claim to be defenders of minorities.
360
The hottest place in Hell is reserved for those who remain neutral in times of great moral conflict.
361
I am patient with stupidity but not with those who are proud of it.
Edith Sitwell
362
I’m happy being myself, which I’ve never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn’t have those things in mine.
363
I hope there will be some good news and some good profits, and people will realize we have a lot of outstanding executives, and a lot of companies that are doing a good job, and those are good companies to invest in.
Don Nickles
364
Gratitude bestows reverence, allowing us to encounter everyday epiphanies, those transcendent moments of awe that change forever how we experience life and the world.
John Milton
365
Modern cynics and skeptics… see no harm in paying those to whom they entrust the minds of their children a smaller wage than is paid to those to whom they entrust the care of their plumbing.
366
Sooner or later, those who win are those who think they can.
Paul Tournier
367
Our life is the sum total of all the decisions we make every day, and those decisions are determined by our priorities.
368
We sleep safe in our beds because rough men stand ready in the night to visit violence on those who would do us harm.
369
I can observe the game theory is applied very much in economics. Generally, it would be wise to get into the mathematics as much as seems reasonable because the economists who use more mathematics are somehow more respected than those who use less. That’s the trend.
370
People of African descent, most of us grew up accepting and loving Spider-Man. I still love Spider-Man. I still love the Incredible Hulk. I still have those characters that were white role models, superheroes, heroes – whatever you want to call it. You basically had no choice but to accept those.
371
Our envy always lasts longer than the happiness of those we envy.
Heraclitus
372
I have always been amazed at the way an ordinary observer lends so much more credence and attaches so much more importance to waking events than to those occurring in dreams… Man… is above all the plaything of his memory.
Andre Breton
373
Those who realize their folly are not true fools.
Zhuangzi
374
You cannot tailor-make the situations in life but you can tailor-make the attitudes to fit those situations.
375
The things that make us different, those are our superpowers.
376
If ever I feel the soul within me elevate and expand to those dimensions not wholly unworthy of its Almighty Architect, it is when I contemplate the cause of my country, deserted by all the world beside, and I standing up boldly and lone and hurling defiance at her victorious oppressors.
377
I fear those big words which make us so unhappy.
378
My goal was never to just create a company. A lot of people misinterpret that, as if I don’t care about revenue or profit or any of those things. But what not being just a company means to me is not being just that – building something that actually makes a really big change in the world.
379
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
380
The two powers which in my opinion constitute a wise man are those of bearing and forbearing.
381
I’m one of those regular weird people.
Janis Joplin
382
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.
383
Amnesty is as good for those who give it as for those who receive it. It has the admirable quality of bestowing mercy on both sides.
384
I love those who do not know how to live for today.
385
What I needed most was to love and to be loved, eager to be caught. Happily I wrapped those painful bonds around me; and sure enough, I would be lashed with the red-hot pokers or jealousy, by suspicions and fear, by burst of anger and quarrels.
386
Nothing splendid has ever been achieved except by those who dared believe that something inside them was superior to circumstance.
Bruce Barton
387
Of puns it has been said that those who most dislike them are those who are least able to utter them.
388
Sometimes it’s easy to go where the wind blows, but those that stand firmly planted are forces to be reckoned with.
389
For among other evils caused by being disarmed, it renders you contemptible; which is one of those disgraceful things which a prince must guard against.
390
In everyone’s life, at some time, our inner fire goes out. It is then burst into flame by an encounter with another human being. We should all be thankful for those people who rekindle the inner spirit.
391
On Memorial Day, we remember the service of those brave military men and women who paid the ultimate sacrifice defending and protecting our freedoms.
392
To survive and even thrive in a changing world, nature offers another great lesson: the survivors are those who at the least adapt to change, or even better learn to benefit from change and grow intellectually and personally. That means careful listening and constant learning.
393
A lasting marriage, they say, is one where the two reach for different sections of the Sunday paper. Me, I go right for the obituaries, just like those very elderly characters in Muriel Spark’s spooky novel, ‘Memento Mori.’
394
Thousands of years ago, civilizations flourished in Africa which suffer not at all by comparison with those of other continents. In those centuries, Africans were politically free and economically independent. Their social patterns were their own and their cultures truly indigenous.
395
Ever since the Industrial Revolution, investments in science and technology have proved to be reliable engines of economic growth. If homegrown interest in those fields is not regenerated soon, the comfortable lifestyle to which Americans have become accustomed will draw to a rapid close.
396
This land may be profitable to those that will adventure it.
Henry Hudson
397
Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.
398
God places the heaviest burden on those who can carry its weight.
Reggie White
399
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
400
Freedom of the press is guaranteed only to those who own one.
401
When one person makes an accusation, check to be sure he himself is not the guilty one. Sometimes it is those whose case is weak who make the most clamour.
402
The loudest voices we hear are those who advocate conflict, divisiveness.
John C. Danforth
403
I have no use for people who throw their weight around as celebrities, or for those who fawn over you just because you are famous.
404
For those who have made the ultimate sacrifice, we are grateful that such men and women were among us. For those who continue to serve, we honor their commitment. For those who return to civilian life, we honor their service.
405
Make bold choices and make mistakes. It’s all those things that add up to the person you become.
406
Space and light and order. Those are the things that men need just as much as they need bread or a place to sleep.
Le Corbusier
407
A judge who likes every outcome he reaches is very likely a bad judge… stretching for results he prefers rather than those the law demands.
408
The greatness of a man is not in how much wealth he acquires, but in his integrity and his ability to affect those around him positively.
409
Yeah, I know, some people are against drunk driving, and I call those people ‘the cops.’ But you know, sometimes, you’ve just got no choice; those kids gotta get to school!
Dave Attell
410
Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying.
411
I don’t care what gender someone is, or what race they are. Those things don’t matter to me.
412
Power is given only to those who dare to lower themselves and pick it up. Only one thing matters, one thing; to be able to dare!
Fyodor Dostoevsky
413
I’m not really conservative. I’m conservative on certain things. I believe in less government. I believe in fiscal responsibility and all those things that maybe Republicans used to believe in but don’t any more.
414
To state the facts frankly is not to despair the future nor indict the past. The prudent heir takes careful inventory of his legacies and gives a faithful accounting to those whom he owes an obligation of trust.
415
God helps those who help themselves.
416
People who ask confidently get more than those who are hesitant and uncertain. When you’ve figured out what you want to ask for, do it with certainty, boldness and confidence. Don’t be shy or feel intimidated by the experience. You may face some unexpected criticism, but be prepared for it with confidence.
417
This land is your land and this land is my land, sure, but the world is run by those that never listen to music anyway.
418
Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired, signifies in the final sense a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed.
419
Toxic people defy logic. Some are blissfully unaware of the negative impact that they have on those around them, and others seem to derive satisfaction from creating chaos and pushing other people’s buttons.
420
I am a woman, and I am a Latina. Those are the things that make my writing distinctive. Those are the things that give my writing power.
421
I’ve always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you’ve got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish.
422
The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.
423
Your destiny is to fulfill those things upon which you focus most intently. So choose to keep your focus on that which is truly magnificent, beautiful, uplifting and joyful. Your life is always moving toward something.
424
If you read history you will find that the Christians who did most for the present world were precisely those who thought most of the next. It is since Christians have largely ceased to think of the other world that they have become so ineffective in this.
425
Aim for the sky, but move slowly, enjoying every step along the way. It is all those little steps that make the journey complete.
426
I liked school, but I used to dread those moments when the teacher would call me up to give an oral report. I forced myself to deal with it and not dwell on the class in front of me – to keep a straight face, give the report and concentrate on getting it right. That’s normally how I perform. That’s how I am.
427
We can come to look upon the deaths of our enemies with as much regret as we feel for those of our friends, namely, when we miss their existence as witnesses to our success.
428
You can be like a thermometer, just reflecting the world around you. Or you can be a thermostat, one of those people who sets the temperature.
429
You know the good part about all those executions in Texas? Fewer Texans.
430
Life is not always going to be roses and rainbows. You are going to have uncomfortable moments. It’s what we do with those moments that is going to count and determine our destiny.
431
You can’t grow long-term if you can’t eat short-term. Anybody can manage short. Anybody can manage long. Balancing those two things is what management is.
432
I will never win an Oscar, and do you know why? First of all, because I’m not Jewish. Secondly, I make too much money for all those old farts in the Academy.
433
No man ever got very high by pulling other people down. The intelligent merchant does not knock his competitors. The sensible worker does not knock those who work with him. Don’t knock your friends. Don’t knock your enemies. Don’t knock yourself.
434
Now the reason the enlightened prince and the wise general conquer the enemy whenever they move and their achievements surpass those of ordinary men is foreknowledge.
435
People who say it cannot be done should not interrupt those who are doing it.
436
It is only for the sake of those without hope that hope is given to us.
437
The average person puts only 25% of his energy and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those who put in more than 50% of their capacity, and stands on its head for those few and far between souls who devote 100%.
438
Those who are believed to be most abject and humble are usually most ambitious and envious.
439
True champions aren’t always the ones that win, but those with the most guts.
440
I’m trying to stay focused on what I’m doing. I don’t want a whole lot of things going on – people to call back, or text messages or whatever. I chill out, relax a little bit, and then I don’t have those issues.
441
No one can pass through life, any more than he can pass through a bit of country, without leaving tracks behind, and those tracks may often be helpful to those coming after him in finding their way.
442
I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person.
Judith Hill
443
Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons.
444
Remember, always give your best. Never get discouraged. Never be petty. Always remember, others may hate you. But those who hate you don’t win unless you hate them. And then you destroy yourself.
445
Today’s Constitution is a realistic document of freedom only because of several corrective amendments. Those amendments speak to a sense of decency and fairness that I and other Blacks cherish.
446
Every man, every woman who has to take up the service of government, must ask themselves two questions: ‘Do I love my people in order to serve them better? Am I humble and do I listen to everybody, to diverse opinions in order to choose the best path?’ If you don’t ask those questions, your governance will not be good.
447
No distance of place or lapse of time can lessen the friendship of those who are thoroughly persuaded of each other’s worth.
Robert Southey
448
None are so empty as those who are full of themselves.
Benjamin Whichcote
449
Man is that being who invented the gas chambers of Auschwitz; however, he is also that being who entered those chambers upright, with the Lord’s Prayer or the Shema Yisrael on his lips.
450
Those who do not complain are never pitied.
451
A great restaurant doesn’t distinguish itself by how few mistakes it makes but by how well they handle those mistakes.
452
Those who rule data will rule the entire world.
453
Look at the sky. We are not alone. The whole universe is friendly to us and conspires only to give the best to those who dream and work.
454
Those who find beauty in all of nature will find themselves at one with the secrets of life itself.
L. Wolfe Gilbert
455
All existing things are really one. We regard those that are beautiful and rare as valuable, and those that are ugly as foul and rotten The foul and rotten may come to be transformed into what is rare and valuable, and the rare and valuable into what is foul and rotten.
Zhuangzi
456
Science is a way of life. Science is a perspective. Science is the process that takes us from confusion to understanding in a manner that’s precise, predictive and reliable – a transformation, for those lucky enough to experience it, that is empowering and emotional.
457
A good teacher must be able to put himself in the place of those who find learning hard.
Eliphas Levi
458
Men often oppose a thing merely because they have had no agency in planning it, or because it may have been planned by those whom they dislike.
459
Only those who have patience to do simple things perfectly ever acquire the skill to do difficult things easily.
James J. Corbett
460
Political tags – such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth – are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire.
461
We seek him here, we seek him there, Those Frenchies seek him everywhere. Is he in heaven? – Is he in hell? That damned, elusive Pimpernel?
Emma Orczy
462
I have treated many hundreds of patients. Among those in the second half of life – that is to say, over 35 – there has not been one whose problem in the last resort was not that of finding a religious outlook on life.
463
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.
464
Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
465
Change is always tough. Even for those who see themselves as agents of change, the process of starting a new thing can cause times of disorientation, uncertainty and insecurity.
466
There are two types of companies: those that have been hacked, and those who don’t know they have been hacked.
467
The invention of basketball was not an accident. It was developed to meet a need. Those boys simply would not play ‘Drop the Handkerchief.’
James Naismith
468
Almost all our suffering is the product of our thoughts. We spend nearly every moment of our lives lost in thought, and hostage to the character of those thoughts. You can break this spell, but it takes training just like it takes training to defend yourself against a physical assault.
469
If I found a healing tree in my backyard, and it grew some sort of fruit that was a healing balm for people to repair what was damaged, I’m not going to just harvest all of those fruits and say, ‘You cant have this.’ If I have a cure for people, I’m going to share it.
470
Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren’t really about anything – which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.
471
Those who remain unmoved by the wind of joy silently follow the Path.
472
The very existence of flame-throwers proves that some time, somewhere, someone said to themselves, You know, I want to set those people over there on fire, but I’m just not close enough to get the job done.
473
The hardest years in life are those between ten and seventy.
Helen Hayes
474
You make different colors by combining those colors that already exist.
475
Those who have succeeded at anything and don’t mention luck are kidding themselves.
476
In sports and in business, the greatest leaders are those who make the best decisions in the most crucial of situations. They are the ones who focus their energy on turning tough decisions into winning decisions.
477
For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who don’t believe, no proof is possible.
Stuart Chase
478
Those men get along best with women who can get along best without them.
479
Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future.
480
Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution inevitable.
481
Pride deafens us to the advice or warnings of those around us.
482
Wellness, I came to realize, will not happen by accident. It must be a daily practice, especially for those of us who are more susceptible to the oppressiveness of the world.
483
I don’t like country music, but I don’t mean to denigrate those who do. And for the people who like country music, denigrate means ‘put down’.
484
Success comes to those who dedicate everything to their passion in life. To be successful, it is also very important to be humble and never let fame or money travel to your head.
485
Happiness is like those palaces in fairy tales whose gates are guarded by dragons: we must fight in order to conquer it.
Alexandre Dumas
486
Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion; it is not the expression of personality, but an escape from personality. But, of course, only those who have personality and emotions know what it means to want to escape from these things.
487
Those who are easily shocked should be shocked more often.
488
Today we know that World War II began not in 1939 or 1941 but in the 1920’s and 1930’s when those who should have known better persuaded themselves that they were not their brother’s keeper.
489
I was a child among the lions. Now I want to be one of those lions.
490
I really admire Airbnb as a pioneer of the sharing economy and for building community. They’ve found an elegant way to help hosts make more money and for guests to have authentic experiences. It brings those people together in a unique way.
491
I experience a period of frightening clarity in those moments when nature is so beautiful. I am no longer sure of myself, and the paintings appear as in a dream.
492
Desperation is the raw material of drastic change. Only those who can leave behind everything they have ever believed in can hope to escape.
493
The 1 to 2 billion poorest in the world, who don’t have food for the day, suffer from the worst disease: globalization deficiency. The way globalization is occurring could be much better, but the worst thing is not being part of it. For those people, we need to support good civil societies and governments.
494
The world is never quiet, even its silence eternally resounds with the same notes, in vibrations which escape our ears. As for those that we perceive, they carry sounds to us, occasionally a chord, never a melody.
495
Moderation is a virtue only in those who are thought to have an alternative.
496
But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.
497
If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself – your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers.
498
A deep sense of love and belonging is an irreducible need of all people. We are biologically, cognitively, physically, and spiritually wired to love, to be loved, and to belong. When those needs are not met, we don’t function as we were meant to. We break. We fall apart. We numb. We ache. We hurt others. We get sick.
499
It sounds simple telling people to work hard and never quit, but to really execute and demonstrate those principles takes discipline and faith. Those are the two factors that I believe separate the good from the great, the successes from the failures.
500
I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.
501
The world is full of people with different characters and temperaments. We all have a dark side, a tendency to manipulate, and aggressive desires. The most dangerous types are those who repress their desires or deny the existence of them, often acting them out in the most underhanded ways.
502
I do not regret the things I’ve done, but those I did not do.
Rory Cochrane
503
When you create Hope in people, you create expectations. When you do not fulfill those expectations, when the change becomes more of the same old, same old, the Hope that was created can only turn to anger, frustration and bitter disappointment.
504
I prefer to be a dreamer among the humblest, with visions to be realized, than lord among those without dreams and desires.
505
Those who live are those who fight.
506
I would rather be exposed to the inconveniences attending too much liberty than those attending too small a degree of it.
507
This is one of those cases in which the imagination is baffled by the facts.
508
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
509
There are no limitations to the mind except those we acknowledge.
510
The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.
511
The conquest of the earth, which mostly means the taking it away from those who have a different complexion or slightly flatter noses than ourselves, is not a pretty thing when you look into it too much.
512
It’s New York City, you want to be shown in Times Square. you want your picture there. You want those kind of things. To inspire people, that’s really what it’s about.
513
It’s my view that gender is culturally formed, but it’s also a domain of agency or freedom and that it is most important to resist the violence that is imposed by ideal gender norms, especially against those who are gender different, who are nonconforming in their gender presentation.
514
There are few earthly things more beautiful than a university a place where those who hate ignorance may strive to know, where those who perceive truth may strive to make others see.
John Masefield
515
The film is made in the editing room. The shooting of the film is about shopping, almost. It’s like going to get all the ingredients together, and you’ve got to make sure before you leave the store that you got all the ingredients. And then you take those ingredients and you can make a good cake – or not.
516
I learned early on about the real meaning of equity and inclusion, and that when those guiding principles are not met, they can have devastating effects on individuals, families, and communities.
517
My heroes are those who risk their lives every day to protect our world and make it a better placepolice, firefighters and members of our armed forces.
518
Life is short, and time just flies by, so I love those moments when we’re all sitting around the table together laughing and joking.
519
The human body is a miraculous self-healing machine, but those self-repair systems require a nutrient-dense diet.
520
The time at our disposal each day is elastic; the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.
521
Let us be sure that those who come after will say of us in our time, that in our time we did everything that could be done. We finished the race; we kept them free; we kept the faith.
522
In various countries and times, leaders of groups that lagged behind, economically and educationally, have taught their followers to blame all their problems on other people – and to hate those other people.
523
Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat.
524
In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.
525
The right of self defense never ceases. It is among the most sacred, and alike necessary to nations and to individuals, and whether the attack be made by Spain herself or by those who abuse her power, its obligation is not the less strong.
526
It is by the goodness of God that in our country we have those three unspeakably precious things: freedom of speech, freedom of conscience, and the prudence never to practice either of them.
527
Those who give themselves to prayer should in a special manner have always a devotion to St. Joseph; for I know not how any man can think of the Queen of the angels, during the time that she suffered so much with the Infant Jesus, without giving thanks to St. Joseph for the services he rendered them then.
528
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.
529
There are those who believe Black people possess the secret of joy and that it is this that will sustain them through any spiritual or moral or physical devastation.
530
Do more than is required. What is the distance between someone who achieves their goals consistently and those who spend their lives and careers merely following? The extra mile.
Gary Ryan Blair
531
I like to think I’m a pretty good friend. I love having a good time, and I enjoy being able to share those good times with others.
532
Those who won our independencevalued liberty as an end and as a means. They believed liberty to be the secret of happiness and courage to be the secret of liberty.
533
Many will call me an adventurer – and that I am, only one of a different sort: one of those who risks his skin to prove his platitudes.
534
In judging of a beautiful statue, the aesthetic faculty is absolutely and completely gratified by the splendid curves of those marble lips that are dumb to our complaint, the noble modelling of those limbs that are powerless to help us.
535
Prince got some Marvin Gaye and Jimi Hendrix and Sly in him, also, even Little Richard. He’s a mixture of all those guys and Duke Ellington.
Miles Davis
536
You cannot hope to build a better world without improving the individuals. To that end, each of us must work for his own improvement and, at the same time, share a general responsibility for all humanity, our particular duty being to aid those to whom we think we can be most useful.
537
There’s always failure. And there’s always disappointment. And there’s always loss. But the secret is learning from the loss, and realizing that none of those holes are vacuums.
538
There is hope in dreams, imagination, and in the courage of those who wish to make those dreams a reality.
Jonas Salk
539
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
540
I love those who yearn for the impossible.
