It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.
188
And I think both the left and the right should celebrate people who have different opinions, and disagree with them, and argue with them, and differ with them, but don’t just try to shut them up.
189
When I’m being funny, I try not to offend. I don’t think much of what I’ve done has been in really ghastly taste. I don’t think I have embarrassed many people or distressed them.
190
I don’t try to be sexy, but I do want to look as good as I can.
191
If you try to come off as this big-time star with an attitude, people don’t like that.
Selena
192
I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
193
Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky – or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time.
194
When you have enough understanding and compassion in you, then that amount of understanding and compassion will try to express itself in action. And your practice should help you to cultivate more understanding and compassion.
195
I think you always need to try your best, but at the same time you can only do what you can do, and you don’t need to beat yourself up about it.
196
I think you can be the greatest orator of all time, the greatest motivator of all times, but if those players know that you don’t care about them, and you don’t try to understand them, then they’re never going to hear what you have to say.
197
I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.
198
I have to stay positive and try to find time to do what I want to do while working at the same time.
199
I really try to live my life a little more, in ways I would hold back from previously.
200
It is one of the beautiful compensations in this life that no one can sincerely try to help another without helping himself.
201
For the moment I prefer to be a beautiful woman of my age than try desperately to look 30.
202
I don’t think about art when I’m working. I try to think about life.
Jean-Michel Basquiat
203
We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
204
We’ll try and be very aggressive, we’ll try and speed up and change gears, and we’ll see who’s going to win.
205
Everyone goes down a road that they’re not supposed to go down. You can do two things from it. You can keep going down that road and go to a dark place. Or you can turn and go up the hill and go to the top – try to go to the top.
206
I want to be proud of this country, but when aspects of our policy don’t align with my ethics, I want to protest them and try to change them.
207
When I tour, it’s like, well, like a food tour as much as a comedy tour. I try to eat at all the weird places, the obscure barbecue joints, burger places. There are a few spots in L.A. that I’m obsessed with – one of them is the Taco Zone taco truck on Alvarado. There are secret off-menu items that are amazing.
208
Each outing is its own game. You roll on your game plan. It is a different chess match each time you go out there. I just try to be prepared.
Jason Hammel
209
Not only is there no God, but try finding a plumber on Sunday.
210
Life is full of tough decisions, and nothing makes them easy. But the worst ones are really your personal koans, and tormenting ambivalence is just the sense of satori rising. Try, trust, try, and trust again, and eventually you’ll feel your mind change its focus to a new level of understanding.
211
This life that has been given to us as a gift, as such a precious gift. To really try to understand it, really try to recognize it, is the greatest meditation. Through the media of this Knowledge we can tap into our inner sources that are so beautiful.
Prem Rawat
212
Try a thing you haven‘t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.
Virgil Thomson
213
I always look at the worst situations and try and figure out how I can make them better. Let today’s garbage be better than yesterday‘s, is my motto.
214
I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on.
215
The older I get the more I try not to waste my time on negative energy.
216
You don’t know what you can get away with until you try.
217
Success is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God.
218
Any time you try to create an Internet meme, automatic fail. That’s like the worst thing you can do.
219
As long as inequality and other social problems plague us, populists will try to exploit them.
220
I just save my money, man. I don’t even try to enjoy it like these other rappers; they having fun and they lit, but they gon’ be broke later on. I be savin’, I be chillin’. It feels good to know I got it, but it feel better to know I’ma keep it too.
221
As a DJ, I’m really focused on the crowd. I never play the same set. I always look at the crowd, try to read what they want, and always look at the signs, point at people.
222
I believe totally in a Capitalist System, I only wish that someone would try it.
223
I was born and raised in China, Mandarin is my first language, and I definitely know America. I think that will be my strength, to try and bring the two worlds together.
224
I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better.
225
You never know the plan. You never know what’s going to happen. We are not even promised tomorrow. I just try to focus on one day at a time.
226
If something’s important enough, you should try. Even if – the probable outcome is failure.
227
Somebody said they threw their copy of Dungeons and Dragons into the fire, and it screamed. It’s a game! The magic spells in it are as real as the gold. Try retiring on that stuff.
Gary Gygax
228
Sometimes I try to concentrate on the story I would like to write, and I realize that what interests me is something else entirely, or, rather, not anything precise but everything that does not fit in what I ought to write.
229
Having caught a glimpse of what I might be able to do with my talent, I feel a tremendous obligation to try to fulfill it.
230
I try to be grateful for the abundance of the blessings that I have, for the journey that I’m on and to relish each day as a gift.
231
I’m going to try to unite all Americans.
232
You’re going to have your struggles every now and then, but you’ve just got to always keep it in perspective and try to have a good time.
233
The actor creates with his own flesh and blood all those things which all the arts try in some way to describe.
Lee Strasberg
234
Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.
235
If you ever face a significant disaster, do your best to keep up the spirits of those around you, act flexibly and creatively to help, try to sort rumors from truth, and remember that the decisions you make will have repercussions after the disaster has passed.
Sheri Fink
236
You just try to play tough and focus point for point. Sounds so boring, but it’s the right thing to do out there.
237
I just try to be the best I can, but I’m human.
238
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
239
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don’t limit myself.
240
In football, the only game I know is the 90-minutes game. It’s not mind games; I don’t try to do that.
241
When choosing between two evils, I always like to try the one I’ve never tried before.
242
My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.’
243
I’m just willing to try different things. But you gotta keep it all making sense.
244
Rule number one in negotiating anything with Missy is never try and run me over. Never push me, because I am a very strong woman. I’m nice, but I’m very strong. When it gets down gritty, I can get grittier. Never, ever underestimate me.
245
We try really hard to avoid those conventional experiences, these adrenaline rush, anger, competition, violence. We intentionally avoid that. We try to create a game that’s serene and tranquil and filled with love.
246
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
247
If you have got a dream and you’ve got ambition, then go for it. You know, unless you try, you’ll never know.
248
Anybody can jump a motorcycle. The trouble begins when you try to land it.
249
I asked my parents for permission to study in America and they were so sure that I wouldn’t get in and get a scholarship that they encouraged me to try. So I applied to Yale and got an excellent scholarship. I then worked for the Boston Consulting Group for six and half years.
250
I try to look cute all the time.
Sloane Stephens
251
I do not try to play a role. I feel good being myself and saying what I think.
252
If you are going to do something, you have to do it for yourself, and that’s what I try to do. I try to be authentic and try to be original, so that’s what I try to be. A lot of people try to build big brands but have received bad advice, and they don’t try to be authentic and real with themselves.
253
If I play, I try to concentrate on producing my best.
Oliver Kahn
254
I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction.
255
I really try to enjoy life and have joy with what I do.
256
I just try to love and serve everyone, and bring everyone water, and lend an ear; that’s what Jesus said to do.
257
The disabled people that do sport, they don’t think about what they don’t have but try to get better with what they do have. That is the same for me.
258
Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant.
259
I’m not cynical or bitter in any way. Life’s too short; you get ripped off, but if you hold a grudge, it’s going to affect you. You take it on the chin, you learn, you try not to make the same mistakes.
Tony Fernandes
260
I have a complex feeling about genre. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. I have the urge to make audiences thrill with the excitement of a genre, but I also try to betray and destroy the expectations placed on that genre.
261
You can say, like, planet Earth has an existing geology, and what we do as human beings and as architects is that we try to sort of alter and modify and expand the geology.
262
Jazz is known all over the world as an American musical art form and that’s it. No America, no jazz. I’ve seen people try to connect it to other countries, for instance to Africa, but it doesn’t have a damn thing to do with Africa.
Art Blakey
263
I’m not the judge of who that is, but I am a believer that no debt in the universe goes unpaid. If you try to buy early, you’ll pay late.
264
I love to feed people, and I like to cook food they want to eat and food that will be good for them. I try to cook them things that are lower in fat and see if they will eat them.
265
We do not know what love is. We know the symptoms of it, the pleasure, the pain, the fear, the anxiety and so on. We try to solve the symptoms, which becomes a wandering in darkness. We spend our days and nights in this, and it is soon over in death.
266
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than ‘try to be a little kinder.’
267
My dad‘s method in his madness was to try every sport and then observe what I liked. I played football, tennis, golf, cricket but I loved my snooker.
Ronnie O’Sullivan
268
Sometimes I live in Paris for a couple of months, then I have a job some place, and then I come back to New York. I guess my base is New York-ish, ’cause my family is here. But my husband’s family is all in Paris, so we try to spend a lot of time there, also. Especially now that we have Rose.
269
You try to be yourself, do only what you’ve always done and like to do, and right away, you’re tagged as an oddball.
270
There’s nothing scarier than silence. A lot of horror movies lean on hits and score to try and create tension, which actually does the opposite. The best scares come from a desire to see the character overcome what they’re dealing with in the scene. If you care about the character you’ll care about the scare.
271
I try to teach my heart not to want things it can’t have.
272
Don’t try to be different. Just be good. To be good is different enough.
Arthur Freed
273
I try not to drink too much because when I’m drunk, I bite.
274
I really don’t think life is about the I-could-have-beens. Life is only about the I-tried-to-do. I don’t mind the failure but I can’t imagine that I’d forgive myself if I didn’t try.
275
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?
276
We must guard against disrespectful, disparaging, and criticizing thoughts. We must try to practice reverence and devotion in our thinking at all times.
277
I very much believe in values-based leadership and that the values that I believe in and try to govern by are transcendent values.
278
I don’t know the rules of grammar… If you’re trying to persuade people to do something, or buy something, it seems to me you should use their language, the language they use every day, the language in which they think. We try to write in the vernacular.
279
An award means a lot to me. It brings happiness along with a kind of fear. It brings fear because the award is the responsibility which audiences have put on us. So a singer winning an award should always try to give best of him to the audiences.
280
If you have a goal, you have to step forward and try to get it accomplished.
281
Don’t try to buy at the bottom and sell at the top. It can’t be done except by liars.
282
There are two types of people: those who try to win and those who try to win arguments. They are never the same.
283
Many people have the heart to give back, but a lot don’t know how to. I try to be the bridge for those people – whether that means getting them involved in one of my campaigns or inspiring them by showing them a blueprint of how to get others engaged.
284
Nobody’s perfect, everybody is flawed in a way, and to recognize your own flaws and to just enjoy them is something that I try to do for myself. I do that all the time.
Adam Gontier
285
I can’t go against my nature because I am what I am. I don’t try to be anyone different to who I am.
Brian McDermott
286
Some people try to find things in this game that don’t exist but football is only two things – blocking and tackling.
287
If only for the sake of elegance, I try to remain morally pure.
288
It’s okay to lose. Losing teaches you something. Having to try and going through the trials and tribulations to actually overcome, to get there to win, to triumph, that’s what makes life interesting.
289
If you try to please everybody, somebody’s not going to like it.
290
Try, try, try, and keep on trying is the rule that must be followed to become an expert in anything.
291
Being a good teammate is when you try to sprint down a ball that everyone thinks is going out of bounds. But you go after it anyways and you get it.
292
My mind doesn’t work, my memories don’t work like a computer file where I can just retrieve them and, boy, there it is. My mind is selective in terms of memories. When I try to think back to college or high school, there are gaps. I try to fill them in. But I can’t tell you it’s always the truth.
293
I never try to convey a message, I just want to tell a story. Why that story in particular? I have no idea, but I have learned to surrender to the muse. I become obsessed with a theme or with certain stories; they haunt me for years, and finally, I write them.
294
It’s important for women to embrace their beauty and sexuality. Females are victimized and made to feel ashamed of their bodies, or they can’t be smart and beautiful, and I try to work against that.
295
I feel like it’s actually everybody’s responsibility to use whatever platform they have to do good in the world, basically, and to try to make our society better, whether you’re an accountant or an activist or an athlete or whatever it is. I think it’s everybody’s responsibility.
296
Do what you want to try doing. Take whatever you get out of it and have fun.
297
If religion were true, its followers would not try to bludgeon their young into an artificial conformity; but would merely insist on their unbending quest for truth, irrespective of artificial backgrounds or practical consequences.
298
Fear of failure must never be a reason not to try something.
Frederick W. Smith
299
Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.
300
You gotta try your luck at least once a day, because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it.
Jimmy Dean
301
Life’s philosophy, hm… I just say, ‘Do what you do and have fun doing it and try not to be too miserable.’
302
If we want to get to the next level, let’s take a risk and try something different.
303
I learn something new every game. Every game is always different, no matter how you try and think about it beforehand.
Marcus Rashford
304
There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.
305
I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.
306
Sometimes it’s important to get out of that comfort zone and, I think, try new things, and sometimes you can express yourself better.
307
As an artist, I feel that we must try many things – but above all we must dare to fail.
308
People will always try to change you. They will always want you to be who they want you to be. That’s fine because I’ll always be exactly who I want to be.
309
Fun is one of the most important – and underratedingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.
310
I had a ukulele when I was much younger. I have no idea what happened to it but I think that was part of it, just being inspired and wanting to try to play an instrument that, to me, sounded beautiful.
311
I go up to San Francisco on holidays and spend time with my family there, but whenever I go to Japan, I enjoy every moment. I try to go back there every year or so. It’s a phenomenal place, and I absolutely love it. It’s not my second home; it is my home. Whenever I go back, I feel very connected with Japan.
Ryan Potter
312
I just try to do something to sweat at least an hour a day.
313
One of my modeling bookers told me that the most important thing is to try to be vigilant about taking care of yourself. Get sleep, don’t be afraid to trim your hair even if you’re trying to grow it out, don’t bite your fingernails, and stay in shape. A lot of it is in the little things.
Julia Jones
314
Back when I watched ‘Future Boy Conan,’ I thought I might like to try my hand at animation, but now, not at all.
315
Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we’re making the right decision. What we do know is that wherever we are, that’s where the Light wants us to be. It’s the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don’t try to control the situation, then we won’t end up in the place we shouldn’t be.
316
If you will tell me why the fen appears impassable, I then will tell you why I think that I can cross it if I try.
Marianne Moore
317
If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you’ll develop skills that other professionals don’t have.
318
The people who truly know me know what I’m like. There have been people who try to say things that aren’t fair, and I check them. And then they don’t like me because I checked them.
319
Whether you’re trying to learn in hockey or trying to learn in life, I’ve always tried to be observant and tried to learn more, tried to evolve, whether it’s as a hockey player or as a person. With each year, I try to do that.
320
I’ve always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You’re trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that’s about so you can represent it.
321
Some people try to get you out of slavery for you to be their slave.
322
The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen.
323
In life, you have ups and downs, but you should never give up. You should always try to get ahead.
Yalitza Aparicio
324
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.
325
Don’t try to be what you’re not. If you’re nervous, be nervous. If you’re shy, be shy. It’s cute.
326
I worked with Ty Dolla Sign, YG, Nipsey Hussle, Metro Boomin – I build relationships, and I try to stay afloat with everyone who is hot or cool, period.
327
The aim, if reached or not, makes great the life: Try to be Shakespeare, leave the rest to fate!
328
Diet is weird. It’s elusive. I just try to listen to my body.
329
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
330
I try to speak plainly so that my constituents who don’t follow the nuances of government like I do, because they’re too busy earning a real living, can understand the issues before me. None of this stuff is brain surgery.
331
The difficulty is to try and teach the multitude that something can be true and untrue at the same time.
332
I realize I don’t do a very good job in keeping up to date, but I try to.
333
What people think in their heart gets out, no matter how much they try to hide it.
334
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
335
Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.
336
I respect all religions, but I’m not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn’t brought up in a religious way, but I believe there’s something out there that looks after you.
337
I’m scared to be political. You get too powerful, and more people try to take you out.
338
I thought being in the wheelchair might be kind of limiting for me as an actor. It turned out cool in a lot of ways. Of course, at the end of the day, I can get up out of the chair and go home, but I’m very acutely aware that most people can’t, so I try to give the situation that depth.
Jim Beaver
339
As long as your body is healthy and under control and death is distant, try to save your soul; when death is immanent what can you do?
340
I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I’m really good at email.
341
The one thing you shouldn’t do is try to tell a cab driver how to get somewhere.
342
Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn’t work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.
Roger von Oech
343
The trouble with most comedians who try to do satire is that they are essentially brash, noisy and indelicate people who have to use a sledge hammer to smash a butterfly.
Imogene Coca
344
Drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Try not to stress. Positive thoughts only!
345
Every time I play darts I try to keep my poker face on and stay focused until that last dart has gone in.
346
People sometimes turn out to be almost the opposite of how they present. It isn’t because they’re trying to fool you or because they’re hypocrites. It’s because they badly want to be that thing, and so they’ll try to be it.
347
Grace is sufficient even though we huff and puff with all our might to try and find something or someone that it cannot cover. Grace is enough.
Brennan Manning
348
My goal is just to be respected as a man when I walk down the street with my family. I don’t care what your job is, you’re not gonna talk down to me, you’re not gonna try to get a rise out of me. I’m a man first. And in establishing that, some interesting things have happened.
349
The best way to look stylish on a budget is to try second-hand, bargain hunting, and vintage.
350
I try to apply the organic concept to my clothes and bedding as well. There’s nothing like swimming in organic cotton sheets.
351
I try not to worry about things I can’t do anything about.
352
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
353
You never think about what life’s going to be like five years down the road or 10 – you just go though the day and try to make good decisions. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. You just hope this day will be a good day.
Jack Harbaugh
354
There are two kinds of companies, those that work to try to charge more and those that work to charge less. We will be the second.
355
One of the things you have to deal with is the pressure of expectations. It takes time for people to believe in yourself; to believe you can finish the innings. You try and do it consistently and that’s what you aim to do as a batsman.
356
It was the winter of war, in 1939. It felt completely pointless to try to create pictures… I suddenly felt an urge to write down something that was to begin with ‘Once upon a time.’
Tove Jansson
357
Just set yourself a goal and try and stick to it. Because you’ll always end up better than where you started.
358
Treat failure as a lesson on how not to approach achieving a goal, and then use that learning to improve your chances of success when you try again. Failure is only the end if you decide to stop.
359
I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console.
360
These are the times that try men’s souls.
361
I don’t want to be mean to people. I try to be as nice as possible to everyone.
362
I’m very, very competitive. If my grandmother asks to race me down the street, I’m going to try to beat her. And I’ll probably enjoy it!
363
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
364
I try my best to keep my feet on the floor and stay humble and let my ability do the talking.
365
When I am shooting, I am inside the theatre, when I am in the editing room, I am inside the theatre. I always try to feel what they will feel. I see a film, not as a director, but as the audience. If I am entertained, they will be, too.
366
However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations… Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers.
367
Too many people just eat to consume calories. Try dining for a change.
John Walters
368
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age.
George Sand
369
Texas women have an amazing sense of purpose when they lose it. They’re the best girls in the world – they’re loyal and fun, but when they get mad, they’ll try to kill you.
370
Certainly there are things in life that money can’t buy, but it’s very funny – Did you ever try buying them without money?
371
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
372
When I tweet, I try and accomplish three things. One, is to make you laugh. Two, is to inform you. Three, is to enlighten you. That’s all I do.
373
I’m a big cockeyed optimist. I try to accentuate the positive as opposed to the negative.
374
In acting, I always try to go back to what would actually be the real situation, the real human behavior in life.
375
I try to woo the person whom I love. Even a good morning call to start the day is good enough for me.
376
Of course there are certain things that get to me, but I try and lead by example and show people that, especially with haters, that you should just ignore them.
377
If I’d been on the Remain side I would have tried to have seen the best in Europe and tried to explain that. Instead, what they’ve done is endlessly try and talk up what they see as the weaknesses of Britain and they aren’t there. That’s a total mistake.
378
You’ve just got to keep going through the tough times and try your best every time you play.
379
You fight, you try your best, but if you lose, you don’t have to break five racquets and smash up the locker room. You can do those things, but when you’ve finished, nothing’s changed. You’ve still lost. If something positive came from that, I probably would do it. But I see only negativity.
380
Why should I try to make you believe the things I believe in?
381
Try to be like the turtle – at ease in your own shell.
Bill Copeland
382
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.
383
In order to keep my creativity alive, I just try to enjoy life to the fullest.
384
Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There’s more to life than you know and it’s all happening out there. Discover what part you can play and then go for it.
385
I love stories, and as I got older, I realized how important what happened yesterday is to how you try to make your present better.
Derek Waters
386
I try to treat all the money I’m making like it’s the last time I’m going to make it.
387
Risk is the essence of any reward – to try the thing that no one else is willing to try.
388
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
389
I really try to spend as little time as possible on grooming. I think if you have a good moisturizer and a solid razor to clean up the beard, you’re golden.
390
I go to the fanciest restaurants in the world and try them out. I like to see these chefs that are wizards do their thing. I like two types of food: cheap fast food – In-N-Out Burger, Taco Bell, stuff like that – or expensive food. Anything in between just bothers me.
391
When I was in Cambridge reading mathematics, I went to Amsterdam for the International Mathematics Congress. There I saw M.C. Escher’s fascinating work. That inspired me to try my hand at drawing such impossibilities.
392
Do not think of your faults, still less of other’s faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.
393
My approach is just fearless. I’m not afraid to try anything.
394
You keep your eyes on the prize, you try to do what’s right, and eventually, you’ll reach your goal.
395
The first canon of my religion is that you shouldn’t try to convince anybody to believe like you do.
396
Far away there in the sunshine are my highest aspirations. I may not reach them, but I can look up and see their beauty, believe in them, and try to follow where they lead.
397
I try to be as honest about what I see and to speak rather than be silent, especially if it means I can save lives, or serve humanity.
398
I can’t solve the world’s problems, can’t even begin to contemplate them all. But on my little corner of Earth, I at least can try to live in a way that treads lightly.
John Grogan
399
I’m very happy at Atletico. I’m very proud to play for these fans, with these players, and with this coach. I want to try and pay back the confidence and care that the people at Atletico have always shown me.
400
I try to give to my music the spiritual quality, very deep in the soul, which does something even if you are not realizing it or analyzing it – that’s the duty of the music.
401
I had so many people try to talk me out of starting a rocket company, it was crazy.
402
Just make games for yourself and try to have a critical eye to what you do. If you genuinely like the game, there will be other people who like it as well.
403
Let us stop saying ‘white Americans’ and ‘colored Americans,’ let us try once and for all saying… Americans. Let human beings be equal on Earth as in Heaven.
404
The independent-minded movies – it’s always an uphill battle to get them made and seen. You do what you can, and go out there after and try to tell people about it, but at the end of the day, that’s all you can do.
405
If two wrongs don’t make a right, try three.
406
I’m not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
407
Try not to have a good time… this is supposed to be educational.
Charles M. Schulz
408
When I write a goal down – and I truly write them down – it becomes a part of me. That’s a contract that I sign with myself to say, ‘I don’t care what happens – I’m going to stay on this path. I’m going to try and see this through; I’m going to give it my best shot, my best effort.’
409
You can have all the talent in the world, but it’s the ability to go out there every day and try to get better. And that’s the key to being successful and being successful for a long time.
410
Now, I’m not saying I’m fashionable, but there are sociological interests that matter to me, things that are theoretical, political, intellectual and also concerned with vanity and beauty that we all think about but that I try to mix up and translate into fashion.
411
If you want to be original just try being yourself, because God has never made two people exactly alike.
Bernard Meltzer
412
I had to realize that you can’t try to get money, support yourself, and grind doing whatchu need to do at the same time. The music is the grind. You really gotta grind. You gotta find your way around. You can’t be stuck tryna get there.
413
As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.
414
I don’t like to try very hard. Most of the time it’s just jeans, a T-shirt and Converse trainers. Casual, comfortable and boyish is how I’d describe my look. The way people wear clothes makes them stylish, rather than the clothes themselves.
Jessica Hart
415
Everybody should spend some quality time with their family members and try to make the best out of bad situations.
416
I try to bring the audience’s own drama – tears and laughter they know about – to them.
417
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.
418
I always try to get the best result out of it, I’m not there to just sit second or sit third. I’m a winner, and I want to win every single race, and I will always go for it.
419
Over the years, I’ve learned that if you can just hang in there and, regardless of what’s presented to you, take it as a challenge and try to bring in something fresh, then it works.
420
What is interesting is the power and the impact of social media… So we must try to use social media in a good way.
421
You can’t try to do things; you simply must do them.
422
There’s been times when I’ve been standing in a line at a movie and someone’s hit me with something really heavy about someone really close and how our music has helped them get through it. Even in our darkest moments we try and find something beautiful.
423
My child, you are going to be a great king; do not imitate me in the taste I have had for building, or in that I have had for war; try, on the contrary, to be at peace with your neighbors.
Louis XIV
424
I believe in nourishment and having a balanced diet. I avoid bingeing and try and eat healthy, especially lots of amla, and drink lots and lots of water.
425
The first rule is that you can’t really know anything if you just remember isolated facts and try and bang ’em back. If the facts don’t hang together on a latticework of theory, you don’t have them in a usable form.
426
I think all of us are thankful every day we get to put this uniform on, and we play this game. So try not to take any days for granted. Every time you take the field, give a hundred percent and leave it all out there.
427
If you want to test your memory, try to recall what you were worrying about one year ago today.
428
I try and keep busy and lift some weights and do cardio as much as I can.
429
You’re not gonna get through life without being worshipful or devoted to something. You’re either devoted to your job, or to your desires. So the best way to spend your life is to try to be devoted to prayer, to Allah.
430
We are all different. We all have different circumstances, and you have to cope with whatever it is, try not to dwell on things.
431
I think that if you live long enough, you realize that so much of what happens in life is out of your control, but how you respond to it is in your control. That’s what I try to remember.
432
My natural accent is American. I chose to speak with a U.K. accent when I was about to enter the final year at drama school in London. I was going to try to find a way to stay in the U.K. after I finished college and could not imagine trying to live and get work there with an American accent.
Jennifer Ehle
433
Illness, mechanicals, and injuries is not something you can 100% avoid; you can only try to limit the risk.
Nino Schurter
434
If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
435
I have too much respect for people to try to control them. But they are estranged from love, afraid to reach out and touch one another. We’re afraid to appear sentimental or speak in platitudes because people will say, ‘What a jerk!’ It takes courage in our culture to be a lover.
436
I will try to work very hard not to disappoint the people of South Africa.
437
Ever tried. Ever failed. No matter. Try Again. Fail again. Fail better.
438
The worst thing one can do is not to try, to be aware of what one wants and not give in to it, to spend years in silent hurt wondering if something could have materialized – never knowing.
439
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
440
I’m a competitor; I like to try to be the best at everything I do.
441
Different people in different parts of the world can be thinking the same thoughts at the same time. It’s an obsession of mine: that different people in different places are thinking the same thing but for different reasons. I try to make films which connect people.
442
I feel like if I can help somebody look at money differently or manage their finances differently or spend a little differently, then I feel like I’m doing my job. So I’ll try to help them see the bigger picture and think longevity versus the temporary spending that we’re kind of accustomed to.
443
I’m like a bad musical cliche because I bring my guitar on the road and try to write songs in hotel rooms.
444
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things – but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
445
I’ve always been an unselfish guy, and that’s the only way I know how to play on the court and I try to play to the maximum of my ability – not only for myself but for my teammates.
446
I always try to see the good in everything, and that gives me strength. Even when I lost in the London Olympics quarterfinals, I said to myself, ‘Don’t lose heart, God has his own plans.’ Actually, life just goes on; you have to accept whatever challenge you face and become stronger.
447
Don’t let anyone try to tell you who you are. Define yourself.
David Alan Grier
448
When I would hear the rabbi tell about some miracle such as a bush whose leaves were shaking but there wasn’t any wind, I would try to fit the miracle into the real world and explain it in terms of natural phenomena.
449
I always say just stay positive. If you ever get down on yourself, try to find something that takes away that negative. Always find that positive area.
450
Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That’s success.
451
I try to dig deep into my soul to figure out something positive in the pain. I think I go to certain places when I play to heal.
452
I am a woman in process. I’m just trying like everybody else. I try to take every conflict, every experience, and learn from it. Life is never dull.
453
When you encounter difficulties and contradictions, do not try to break them, but bend them with gentleness and time.
Saint Francis de Sales
454
I always assume that one day someone will come and try to do better so you always have to go beyond your limits.
455
Humans think in stories, and we try to make sense of the world by telling stories.
456
Football is not about suffering. It’s about enjoyment. Control the ball, be friendly with it, try to attack, try to score goals. Of course defending is part of it, but you can defend in a lot of ways.
457
We should all aspire in life to do a multitude of things well – to be a great father, to be a good husband, to be a good lover, you know, to try to do things the best you can is very important to me.
Matthew Modine
458
In many a piece of music, it’s the pause or the rest that gives the piece its beauty and its shape. And I know I, as a writer, will often try to include a lot of empty space on the page so that the reader can complete my thoughts and sentences and so that her imagination has room to breathe.
459
The remedy for life’s broken pieces is not classes, workshops or books. Don’t try to heal the broken pieces. Just forgive.
460
I just try to stay focused and show the goodness in me to people.
461
Don’t make things too complicated. Try to relax, enjoy every moment, get used to everything.
462
I try to build a full personality for each of our cartoon characters – to make them personalities.
463
At the end of the day, you’re responsible for yourself and your actions and that’s all you can control. So rather than be frustrated with what you can’t control, try to fix the things you can.
464
You’re trying too hard to find a correlation here. You don’t know these people, you don’t know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation.
Marc Racicot
465
For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
466
Every girl/woman in the world has flaws. Instead of focusing on your flaws when you look in a mirror, focus on the parts of you that you love; try to do this every morning. You will ooze confidence all day long.
Chelan Simmons
467
I sleep on my stomach with my head under a bunch of pillows so if someone wants to come in and try to kill me they can’t tell if I’m there or not, so they’ll just leave.
468
One who has no love in his heart will try to possess everything for himself. One who has love in his heart is ready to sacrifice everything, including his own body, for the benefit of others.
Thiruvalluvar
469
All intelligent thoughts have already been thought; what is necessary is only to try to think them again.
470
There is nothing impossible to him who will try.
Alexander the Great
471
You have to rely on your preparation. You got to really be passionate and try to prepare more than anyone else, and put yourself in a position to succeed, and when the moment comes you got to enjoy, relax, breathe and rely on your preparation so that you can perform and not be anxious or filled with doubt.
472
It’s been my experience in politics that you can try and plan it out: ‘I’m going to hit the three ball which will hit the eight ball.’ You’ve just got to go run and try to do everything right. And then have a little luck.
473
I set very high standards, normally for myself. For other people, I try to lower my standards.
474
Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.
475
When you love someone and care about them, you want what’s best for them, and it’s always the hardest thing to realize maybe you aren’t what’s best for them, how hard you try.
476
The most dangerous thing in the world is to try to leap a chasm in two jumps.
David Lloyd George
477
I own my sexuality, and I don’t try to hide it.
478
Since the Puffy Combs case in New York, I will not try any more criminal cases.
Johnnie Cochran
479
If you have an important point to make, don’t try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time – a tremendous whack.
480
For me, I try not to set any goals or try and see what’s gonna happen, because I don’t wanna be let down or disappointed that something didn’t happen the way I thought it was gonna happen.
481
I don’t think you should try to be anything you’re not. If you’re not smiling all the time or always happy – I don’t think it matters. If you’re having bad day, show you’re having a bad day. Don’t try to put up something that’s fake.
482
Instead of minority and majority politics, if we try and give the same rights to all, it is not polarisation. This is the core value of our Constitution.
483
I don’t want to become a serious, annoying sociologist. I try to regard sociology as a part of everyday life.
Agnes Varda
484
Too much coffee. Too much coffee and Gatorade. It’s a hell of a mix. If you’re ever tired in the morning, just try that mix, and tell me what you think.
485
Every bad joke, every endorsement deal, all of the things that a typical host would normally get creamed for, people don’t mind, because they know I don’t cheat when it comes to the work I actually try. I’m a lab rat. I’m a perpetual apprentice. The joke is on me if there is one.
486
That’s what all art’s about – a sense of moving away from boundaries that you can’t in real life. Like a dancer is always trying to fly, really – to do something that’s just not possible. But you try to do as much as you can within those physical boundaries.
487
I have so much chaos in my life, it’s become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they’re wrong.
Tom Welling
488
When I work, I try to eat as much vegetarian as possible. When I do Cupid, I eat vegetarian because I need the energy. I’ve got those wings on my back.
Karl Urban
489
You wouldn’t try and make a cake without a recipe book. Careers are just the same.
490
This is who I am. I’m not perfect. I don’t want to try to be perfect.
491
No one really listens to anyone else, and if you try it for a while you’ll see why.
492
Don’t ever try and be like anybody else and don’t be afraid to take risks.
493
Stand-up comedy and comedy in general is the ultimate form of free speech, because you get to poke holes in all the pretentious bubbles politicians and pundits and popes and pretenders try to float over our heads.
494
I really try to put myself in uncomfortable situations. Complacency is my enemy.
495
And I like the look on people’s faces when I say I’m doing this movie called Pride and Prejudice and they kind of smile, and then I say I’m in a movie called Doom and they kind of do a double take and try and put the two things together. And they never quite manage to.
496
Family is a unique gift that needs to be appreciated and treasured, even when they’re driving you crazy. As much as they make you mad, interrupt you, annoy you, curse at you, try to control you, these are the people who know you the best and who love you.
497
It’s challenging, but you have to at least try to eat right and exercise.
498
I try to lead by example, being conscious of others and being responsible.
499
War is so unjust and ugly that all who wage it must try to stifle the voice of conscience within themselves.
500
I try to push design boundaries using new draping and fabric manipulation techniques every time I approach a new design.
501
A little irreverence is always important to being a columnist. I try to do that.
502
It’s OK to make mistakes. Just try not to make the same mistakes over.
503
You try to do what you can to bring harmony wherever you go.
504
Art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic.
505
I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.
506
The secret to gaining the upper hand in a negotiation is to give the other side the illusion of control. Don’t try to force your opponent to admit that you are right. Ask questions, that begin with ‘How?’ or ‘What?’ so your opponent uses mental energy to figure out the answer.
507
I’ve reached a point in life where it’s no longer necessary to try to impress. If they like me the way I am, that’s good. If they don’t, that’s too bad.
508
It’s the people who try to be clever who never are; the people who are clever never think of trying to be.
Gilbert Parker
509
In planes, I used to try to look behind the clouds to see if I saw an angel.
510
When you have a conflict, that means that there are truths that have to be addressed on each side of the conflict. And when you have a conflict, then it’s an educational process to try to resolve the conflict. And to resolve that, you have to get people on both sides of the conflict involved so that they can dialogue.
511
I try to keep my private life kind of private.
512
One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
513
I try to talk on the phone as little as possible.
514
If I’m going to be straightforward, like I always try to be, I know guys are going to come back at me sometimes.
515
The difference between tithe and first fruit, first fruit is all of it. All of what? Well, if you want to bring God all of one day’s salary, one week’s salary or one month’s salary, that’s between you and God… I try to bring a month’s salary, but at the very least every year I give God a week’s salary.
516
Bruce Lee was just so lightning-fast. People try to emulate him in whatever way they can, but to try and do what he was doing… you’re just inspired by it; you’re not trying to say, ‘Look, I can do that.’ No one can do what he did.
517
I always try to start out with some type of goal. Then I work backward and think of what I need to do to get there, and give myself smaller goals that are more immediate.
518
Life will take its toll on all of us. We get injured, we get old. It’s really sad to try to run away from these harsh realities of life. Looks are not everything. I am not going to look beautiful all the time.
519
If you want to truly understand something, try to change it.
Kurt Lewin
520
It’s important not to indicate. People don’t try to show their feelings, they try to hide them.
521
Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.
522
Don’t listen to what anybody says except the people who encourage you. If it’s what you want to do and it’s within yourself, then keep going and try to do it for the rest of your life.
523
If you are afraid of being lonely, don’t try to be right.
Jules Renard
524
Writing your own jokes, you just kind of keep working on something until you think it might work, and then you try it out and hope for the best.
525
Buddhism teaches us not to try to run away from suffering. You have to confront suffering. You have to look deeply into the nature of suffering in order to recognize its cause, the making of the suffering.
526
The happiness of one’s own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one’s own happiness, the happiness of others.
527
Money begets money. If you don’t have that, you wait around to be hired by somebody at the mercy of others. If you have that money in your hand, you desperately try to make the best use of it and move ahead. And that’s generating income for yourself.
528
We all go through things in life, and it’s just how you deal with it. Try to stay positive throughout the worst.
529
I need time, but as soon as possible, we are going to try to create team spirit. That is the most important thing. After that, you can create tactics, but we have to create something special with ourselves.
530
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough – that we should try again.
531
You are the sum total of everything you’ve ever seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot – it’s all there. Everything influences each of us, and because of that I try to make sure that my experiences are positive.
532
The more colorful the food, the better. I try to add color to my diet, which means vegetables and fruits.
533
As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.
534
The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life.
535
My competition is always with my previous song. Each time I start working on a new track, I try to make it better than my last one.
536
There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.
John Cage
537
When things are a disappointment, try not to be so discouraged.
538
I always try to be nice. I never want to be that person that anyone perceives as being rude or disrespectful, ’cause that’s not me at all.
539
You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do things that you’re incapable of… If you think you’re incapable of running a company, make that your aim… Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.
540
If you don’t want my God here, you don’t want me here either. God has been too good to me to go and try to sell out to get some money.
541
If you’re glued together right and honorable, you will succeed. Get in there and get rid of stupidities and avoid bad people. Try teaching that to your grandchildren. The best way is by example. Fix yourself.
542
I like to delude myself that I’m in the old-Hollywood mode. I just tailor my clothes well and try to keep my skin clear. While it would be great to work out an hour a day, there is something inherently sort of selfish about it. I can’t do it.
543
Be thirsty to always try to achieve something more.
544
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
545
Enjoy the journey and try to get better every day. And don’t lose the passion and the love for what you do.
546
The notion that before you even set out to go to Thailand, you say, ‘I’m not interested,’ or you’re unwilling to try things that people take so personally and are so proud of and so generous with, I don’t understand that, and I think it’s rude. You’re at Grandma‘s house, you eat what Grandma serves you.
547
Life doesn’t require that we be the best, only that we try our best.
548
I think the secret is really observation. Well, if you observe what’s going on and try to figure out how people are thinking, I think you can always write something that people will understand.
Sam Cooke
549
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it.
550
Don’t try to guess what it is people want and give it to them. Don’t ask for a show of hands. Try your best to write what you like, what you think your friends would like and what you think your father would like and then cross your fingers… The most valuable thing you have is your own voice.
551
Every time you feel depressed about something, try to identify a corresponding negative thought you had just prior to and during the depression. Because these thoughts have actually created your bad mood, by learning to restructure them, you can change your mood.
552
Looking the way I look, whenever anybody’s looking for a light brown funny guy, I get the call… I’m 100 percent Greek, but I look like I could be Indian or Middle Eastern or Hispanic. If it’s ethnic, they’ll try and put me in it.
Jason Mantzoukas
553
The ability to get to the verge without getting into the war is the necessary art. If you try to run away from it, if you are scared to go to the brink, you are lost.
John Foster Dulles
554
I think to be a great quarterback, you have to have a great leadership, great attention to detail, and a relentless competitive nature. And that’s what I try to bring to the table, and I have a long way to go. I’m still learning, and I’m still on a constant quest for knowledge.
555
The only time you mustn’t fail is the last time you try.
556
I try to avoid all mistakes. I try to prepare my players and to put them in the best condition to play the game. If you discover a problem during the game, it is too late. You must anticipate and prepare.
557
I try as much as possible to take a moment every so often, pause, and enjoy the journey.
558
Invention requires two things: One, the ability to try a lot of experiments, and two, not having to live with the collateral damage of failed experiments.
559
I try to forget the past.
560
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
Lawrence G. Lovasik
561
We are so lucky because all our fans from around the world are great. We love all our fans from everywhere, and they want us to visit them. We will try! They are really the best fans we could wish for.
562
I don’t think you should be ashamed of anybody that you know that has AIDS. You should stand as close to them as you can and help them out as much as you can. I’m a strong believer in that and that’s why I try to do that for everyone I know that has the virus.
563
God gave us faculties for our use; each of them will receive its proper reward. Then do not let us try to charm them to sleep, but permit them to do their work until divinely called to something higher.
564
I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.
Joan Miro
565
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
566
If you try to do your best there is no failure.
567
The best gift you can give yourself is getting over the fear of embarrassment because then you’re completely free to try anything.
568
I have a zero tolerance for sanctimonious morons who try to scare people.
569
If somebody says I’m a leader or notices the things I try to do to be a leader, it’s the ultimate compliment.
570
You can’t let fear paralyze you. The worse that can happen is you fail, but guess what: You get up and try again. Feel that pain, get over it, get up, dust yourself off and keep it moving.
571
If you just try long enough and hard enough, you can always manage to boot yourself in the posterior.
572
When I want to understand what is happening today or try to decide what will happen tomorrow, I look back.
Omar Khayyam
573
I like to try new looks and new haircuts. It’s part of who I am.
574
People try to change too much at once and it becomes overwhelming, and they end up falling off the program. So gradually changing bad habits makes much more of a difference than trying to change them all at once.
Ian K. Smith
575
When I prepare for a role, I try to get inside the character’s head and understand him.
576
It seems to me that if you or I must choose between two courses of thought or action, we should remember our dying and try so to live that our death brings no pleasure on the world.
577
I just claim to do what I do, which is to sing old songs and try to make them cool.
578
We all have idols. Play like anyone you care about but try to be yourself while you’re doing so.
579
Sleep is huge. That’s your biggest way of recovering. In baseball, it’s such a hard sleep schedule during the season, but you try to do the best you can. Because you can take all the protein drinks, you can do all these things, but your recovery is your sleep.
580
Since we can’t know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
John Holt
581
We must not try to force him to take civilization immediately in its complete form, but under just laws, guaranteeing to Indians equal civil laws, the Indian question, a source of such dishonor to our country and of shame to true patriots, will soon be a thing of the past.
George Crook
582
You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.
583
Hug the shore; let others try the deep.
584
People always underestimate me. But if you stick around long enough, act out of conviction, and try to be honorable in everything you do, good things will come to you.
585
I have a necklace around my neck that my lady gave me, so I try never to leave home without that.
586
Any time I try to play anything that doesn’t come natural, I’m just plain bad.
Andy Griffith
587
I think every day you try to soak up as much as you can to learn and understand things better.
588
Watch the mouth, it reveals what the eyes try to hide.
John Thaw
589
I can’t stand being late. I try to be professional. I try not to let people down. But people let me down. That’s why I don’t rely on anyone to call me. That’s why I have clocks as well as people. I have to be able to call myself; it’s the only way to be sure.
590
I just bring energy, try to put myself in a good mood, because you’re not going to get through practice if you’re drowsy, don’t feel like doing nothing. Then it’s going to be a long practice and coach is going to be all over you.
591
The fundamentals, what I want, which is to take the ball, try to play as offensive as possible and dominate the game through the ball, is the same. I grew up with that; I was a player with that idea, and I am a coach with that idea.
592
You try to do the best with what you’ve got and ignore everything else. That’s why horses get blinders in horse racing: You look at the horse next to you, and you lose a step.
593
I’m always down to try a new burger, but Shake Shack is still my top. What makes them so special is for the bread they use Martin‘s potato rolls which is just the best hamburger buns ever.
594
I feel like guys, girls, whatever it is, you just come out hoping to make the best record. You just try to have a conversation and just create what you’ve talked about. Whatever you find to fit the beat at the time, what the person is down for, wherever the beat takes you towards.
Future
595
I think regardless of what your religion is or what you believe, you try to treat people in a positive way, and that’s all you can do in life.
596
Everyone in their career is going to go through a slump, but the thing is how you react to it. You’re either going to talk about it or you’re going to try to shoot your way out of it and I’m going to try to shoot my way out of it.
597
What bothers most critics of my work is the goofiness. One reviewer said I need to make up my mind if want to be funny or serious. My response is that I will make up my mind when God does, because life is a commingling of the sacred and the profane, good and evil. To try and separate them is fallacy.
598
No matter how hard you try to teach your cat general relativity, you’re going to fail.
599
If you try to protect yourself from pain, it becomes a stone in your heart. But the more you learn to face things, the more likely that stone can become a pearl.
600
Success comes to those who have an entire mountain of gold that they continually mine, not those who find one nugget and try to live on it for fifty years.
601
So many people try to grow up too fast, and it’s not fun! You should stay a kid as long as possible!
602
I try to stick to real food, meaning anything that has been grown naturally or organically and that is not majorly processed: meats and proteins, a lot of green vegetables, less sugary fruits, solid starches and nuts.
603
I try to think about optimism. I try to look at the beautiful things in life.
604
Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.
605
Whatever I try to do, I always try to give it my best and try to be a killer because, at the end of the day, if you don’t work hard, you are not going to get food on your table.
606
If you think nobody cares about you, try missing a couple of payments.
607
Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don’t know that I’m an example. I hate to say, ‘Yes, look at me. I’m a good example of being Mormon.’ I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I’m a good example.
608
You may be disappointed if you fail, but you are doomed if you don’t try.
609
I like to solve problems. I know it is a skill set, but it’s also an obligation. I grew up with parents who believe that you don’t simply complain: you try to find solutions and fix what’s in front of you.
610
When you meet with someone and you try to assess whether they’re telling you the truth or not, there’s several things you can do. You judge demeanor and credibility. You look at corroboration.
611
Bureaucracy kills people’s ability to try new ideas.
612
I think I’m generally an upbeat person. Obviously I can get moody, but my whole philosophy is to try and have a good time.
613
I try not to think about the things I can’t control.
614
‘The Lion‘ all began with a picture of a faun carrying an umbrella and parcels in a snowy wood. This picture had been in my mind since I was about sixteen. Then one day, when I was about forty, I said to myself, ‘Let’s try to make a story about it.’
615
If you fall during your life, it doesn’t matter. You’re never a failure as long as you try to get up.
616
Young players need freedom of expression to develop as creative players… they should be encouraged to try skills without fear of failure.
617
Poor people are those who only work to try to keep an expensive lifestyle and always want more and more.
618
When it comes to time management, I talk a lot more about energy management. I try to give people 100% of my energy even if I’m giving them very little of my time.
619
You’ll never get ahead of anyone as long as you try to get even with him.
620
Talk about a dream, try to make it real.
621
I believe that if life gives you lemons, you should make lemonade… And try to find somebody whose life has given them vodka, and have a party.
622
We try to make games we want to make for the sake of making fun games and not necessarily to make a profit.
623
Never be a food snob. Learn from everyone you meet – the fish guy at your market, the lady at the local diner, farmers, cheese makers. Ask questions, try everything and eat up!
624
Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another’s money. Idiots!
625
Whether it’s a friendly match, or for points, or a final, or any game – I play the same. I’m always trying to be my best, first for my team, for myself, for the fans, and to try and win.
626
Once or twice a week, I try to do some kind of boxing. I’m hitting the bags and jumping rope – all that stuff.
627
Things go wrong for me all the time with technology. I’m not familiar enough with it, and I’m too old-school a brain to be able to figure it out. I’m dumb. Anything that I have to attack with my thumbs, for any period of time, makes me feel stupid. So, I try to avoid it, as much as possible, to protect my thumbs.
628
Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
Louis E. Boone
629
Good food and a warm kitchen are what makes a house a home. I always tried to make my home like my mother’s, because Mom was magnificent at stretching a buck when it came to decorating and food. Like a true Italian, she valued beautification in every area of her life, and I try to do the same.
630
I try and create for the audience something that relates to real-life experience.
631
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.
632
I try to have a balanced diet. I try to write down everything that I eat.
633
Success is achieved and maintained by those who try and keep trying.
634
Terrorism is a psychological warfare. Terrorists try to manipulate us and change our behavior by creating fear, uncertainty, and division in society.
635
I always try to do as much as I can do. I’m never a person that does not enough, because I’d regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn’t work.
636
We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it.
637
To me, it doesn’t matter how good you are. Sport is all about playing and competing. Whatever you do in cricket and in sport, enjoy it, be positive and try to win.
Ian Botham
638
By letting it go it all gets done. The world is won by those who let it go. But when you try and try. The world is beyond the winning.
639
No one knows what’s a good idea or a bad idea until you try it.
640
I’m human, I’m not perfect. I make mistakes all the time, but I guess my job is to keep those mistakes to myself, which I’m already fine doing and just try to be the best I can be for those kids.
641
I try not to cancel people. But at some point, we got to stand up and say, hey, right is right, wrong is wrong.
642
Try to forget what objects you have before you – a tree, a house, a field, or whatever. Merely think, ‘Here is a little square of blue, here an oblong of pink, here a streak of yellow,’ and paint it just as it looks to you, the exact color and shape, until it gives you your own impression of the scene before you.
643
If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some.
644
I direct with energy. I believe in energy. I think energy is an electric thing in actors. I try to inspire, encourage, and make choices with lots of energy. And truth. I’m big fan of truth and being funny. I like leading 50 people into battle every day.
645
My body doesn’t have a lot of curves; I have small breasts, I don’t have hips – so I’m not going to try to make myself something that I’m not. I’m just going to try to be the best version of myself.
646
I feel like anything I’m doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I’ve always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life.
647
Try to see the good in others. When you’re tempted to judge someone, make an effort to see their goodness. Your willingness to look for the best in people will subconsciously bring it forth.
648
Don’t try to be young. Just open your mind. Stay interested in stuff. There are so many things I won’t live long enough to find out about, but I’m still curious about them. You know people who are already saying, ‘I’m going to be 30 – oh, what am I going to do?’ Well, use that decade! Use them all!
649
As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.
650
The life of a model isn’t easy. But I try to keep a good head on my shoulders by staying close to my family and old friends. They’re my support system.
Constance Jablonski
651
I cannot follow you Christians; for you try to crawl through your life upon your knees, while I stride through mine on my feet.
Charles Bradlaugh
652
I love my life, and I try to keep my fans happy.
653
I must try and break through the cliches about Latin America. Superpowers and other outsiders have fought over us for centuries in ways that have nothing to do with our problems. In reality we are all alone.
654
The part that makes you unique is the bit people will like or fear, fall in love with, or try to avoid.
655
Each goal, each win, going to different buildings, the rivalries, the excitement – it is something. I try to catch myself, you know, in the warm-ups, when you’re on the line and the anthem and you get to some milestones and stuff. It’s such a neat experience.
656
I try to be vegan… I really, really try. I don’t eat any red meat, and the whole animal thing really upsets me, so I’ve tried.
657
If you don’t think every day is a good day, just try missing one.
Cavett Robert
658
On the course, I sometimes eat a little sandwich or a slow-release energy bar – one on the front nine and one on the back nine. You’re out there five hours, so you have to keep eating. You’re going to burn at least 1,000 calories. I’ll try to take in about 400-600 calories during a round and drink water.
659
One of the greatest resources people cannot mobilize themselves is that they try to accomplish great things. Most worthwhile achievements are the result of many little things done in a single direction.
Nido Qubein
660
You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.
661
Customers are willing to try new things, and if you can survive, you will have fewer competitors. It’s like entering the eye of the storm. As long as you are strong enough to survive, you can end up in still water by yourself.
662
Move out of your comfort zone. You can only grow if you are willing to feel awkward and uncomfortable when you try something new.
663
I want my clothes, my stores, everything I design to have that feeling of being natural and easy. And that takes effort, but you try not to have it show.
664
We’re all entitled to make mistakes. I’m not one of these guys where if you make a mistake, I’m gonna try to tear your life down and burn it to the ground.
665
I try to lie as much as I can when I’m interviewed. It’s reverse psychology. I figure if you lie, they’ll print the truth.
666
I have good and bad days like everyone else. I just try to be positive and surround myself with great people. When I think about all the great things and people I have had in my life, that gives me confidence.
667
When life knocks you down, try to land on your back. Because if you can look up, you can get up. Let your reason get you back up.
668
Do not try to approach God with your thinking mind. It may only stimulate your intellectual ideas, activities, and beliefs. Try to approach God with your crying heart. It will awaken your soulful, spiritual consciousness.
669
Life is not easy for anyone. You have to have ups and downs. You can make mistakes. You learn and try not to make them again. That’s pretty much my principle.
670
The endorsement process is an evolution. What you try to do is you endorse someone that you believe in and their ideas and their solutions align with yours.
671
I use printers to make prints of the images that I am creating. And I try to have that surface kind of replicated in the painting.
672
People, when they go on stage, tend to be animated and try to force things out instead of relaxing and bringing it in.
673
I say to myself that I shall try to make my life like an open fireplace, so that people may be warmed and cheered by it and so go out themselves to warm and cheer.
674
Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it.
Rene Descartes
675
Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal ‘security,’ those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists – they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.
676
I think it’s impossible to maintain a good, strong, muscular physique without taking some supplements. Between the protein shakes and the multivitamins that I take, I use C4, the pre-workout mix. I try to keep it as basic as I can, but I think I would shrink and disappear if I stopped taking protein shakes.
Joseph Gatt
677
People always say that you can’t please everybody. I think that’s a cop-out. Why not attempt it? ‘Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.
678
I try to tell all the – not even the kids, even people older than me – to just be themselves. Don’t wear what I wear ’cause I wear it; wear what you like.
679
I think French women tend to keep it simple. I’d say try the less-is-more approach, which is not always easy to get right.
680
I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
681
Happiness is like a cat, If you try to coax it or call it, it will avoid you; it will never come. But if you pay not attention to it and go about your business, you’ll find it rubbing against your legs and jumping into your lap.
William Bennett
682
Try and live your life the way you wish other people would live theirs.
Raymond Burr
683
Friendships naturally shift over life. We have different friends for different times in our lives, and sometimes it’s not the best idea to hang on to a friendship to try to make it work if it’s an unhealthy connection.
684
I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.
685
I think the more realistic you try to make the graphics and the experience, the more you limit yourself to a single vision.
686
If you behind me, I’m not going to look back and try and figure out what you’re doing behind me.
Future
687
Dr. Seuss said, ‘No one can be you-er than you,’ and Oscar Wilde said, ‘Be yourself because everyone else is taken.’ So I just try to continue to be who I am and don’t change that. And I’m a little chameleon, so I can fit in wherever I am.
688
Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums.
689
You have to understand that every negotiation isn’t about taking everything off the table. It’s cliche, but you have to try and make sure the other side feels good and you feel good. Because in my business, when I make a deal, it just means once we’re done negotiating, we have to go off and work together.
690
I like refried beans. That’s why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they’re just as good and we’re just wasting time. You don’t have to fry them again after all.
691
Think left and think right and think low and think high. Oh, the thinks you can think up if only you try!
692
I just try to be authentic.
693
For me, meditation’s hard because I feel like I have developedcultural attention-deficit disorder,’ where, because we have so much stimulation, I feel like I have trouble focusing on things for very long. So when I try to meditate, my brain gets so scattered.
694
I was born with a happy heart, and I try to keep a good attitude. It’s not true that I’m happy all the time because nobody is, and we all go through our things.
695
I’m not perfect; I make mistakes all the time. All I can do is to try my best to learn from my mistakes, take responsibility for them, and do a better job tomorrow.
696
I pay attention to lyrics and I know what rap fans care about. I try to write for the average listener and I’m conscious of the mainstream without selling out.
697
The sexiest thing in the entire world is being really smart. And being thoughtful and being generous. Everything else is crap. I promise you. It’s just crap that people try to sell to you to make you feel like less. So don’t buy it. Be smart. Be thoughtful and be generous.
698
I try to start drinking water as soon as my feet hit the floor in the morning.
699
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
Claude Debussy
700
A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.
701
If something is boring after two minutes, try it for four. If still boring, then eight. Then sixteen. Then thirty-two. Eventually one discovers that it is not boring at all.
John Cage
702
If you think you can slander a woman into loving you, or a man into voting for you, try it till you are satisfied.
703
Try not to do too many things at once. Know what you want, the number one thing today and tomorrow. Persevere and get it done.
George Allen, Sr.
704
As long as God gives me strength to work and try to make things real for my children, I’m going to work for it – even if it means making the ultimate sacrifice.
Medgar Evers
705
Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.
706
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
707
What I try to tell young people is that if you come together with a mission, and its grounded with love and a sense of community, you can make the impossible possible.
708
I try to hire good people and let them do their job and don’t question how they do things.
709
I don’t write on topics that require a lot of urgency. But in ‘Stiff,’ I wanted to change people’s hearts about organ donation. Whenever I get a chance, I try to talk about that.
710
I remember being in college knowing I didn’t want to go anymore. I wanted to try and become an actor. There is a something in me, with a risk of sounding cliche, that I just had to do it. I knew from an early age that acting was my path.
711
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.
712
I want to take my life and the time I have on this earth to try to tell others about Jesus, that Jesus Christ is God’s son who took our sins to the Cross and shed His blood for our sins.
713
I’m prepared to try to talk to a very beautiful girl. I learned a fantastic secret, which is that the most beautiful woman in the room is not being spoken to because she’s too intimidating. They’re not looking for somebody beautiful; they’re looking for somebody to amuse them.
714
How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.
Barbara Pym

If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
Jeff Rich
716
People will try to pull you down, but you need to fight the negativity in your life. It’s always good to stay positive and think positive.
717
I simplify the spices. I’m the same way as everybody else: if I look at a recipe and there’s ten spices in it, I’m going to have to think long and hard about when I’m going to be able to make that… so I try to simplify the spices to three or four.
Aarti Sequeira
718
When I was elected President nobody asked me to negotiate between Israel and Egypt. It was not even a question raised in my campaign. But I felt that one of the reasons that I was elected President was to try to bring peace to the Holy Land.
719
Don’t try too hard to be something you’re not.
720
Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.
Mary Kay Ash

People try to glorify war, particularly those who aren’t actually fighting in them. People tend to make heroes of those who are fighting in them.
John Boyne

I always try to outsmart my defender.

Nothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels… try it!

You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.

The first rule of management is delegation. Don’t try and do everything yourself because you can’t.
