The people who are bullying you, they’re insecure about who they are, and that’s why they’re bullying you. It never has to do with the person they’re bullying. They desperately want to be loved and be accepted, and they go out of their way to make people feel unaccepted so that they’re not alone.
335
336
I know you’ve heard it a thousand times before. But it’s true – hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don’t love something, then don’t do it.
337
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.
338
If you want to feel good, you have to go out and do some good.
339
Freedom makes a huge requirement of every human being. With freedom comes responsibility. For the person who is unwilling to grow up, the person who does not want to carry his own weight, this is a frightening prospect.
340
341
I’m not a politician. I don’t want to be a politician, because politicians do what is politically expedient. I want to do what’s right.
342
I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone’s inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.
343
344
I don’t want to miss out on the chance of having a good time.
345
Keep yourself busy if you want to avoid depression. For me, inactivity is the enemy.
346
347
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.
348
349
If you want to conquer fear, don’t sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
350
I do not play football to win the Ballon d’Or. I play football to be happy, because I love it and want to play football.
351
You want to create your own path, no matter what situation you’re in.
352
I’ve been told that having an Instagram account will help me book more roles, get more endorsement deals. It makes you more of a brand. But I’m not interested. I want to build my fan base through movies and movies alone.
353
What the people want is very simple – they want an America as good as its promise.
354
Men want a battle to fight, an adventure to live, and a beauty to rescue. That is what is written in their hearts. That is what little boys play at. That is what men’s movies are about. You just see it. It is undeniable.
355
Growth is uncomfortable; you have to embrace the discomfort if you want to expand.
356
We have to fight climate change like we actually want to win.
357
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.
358
359
360
Individuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.
361
362
Developing nations want to become developed nations.
363
No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary – not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn’t want to be prime minister; you have to give yourself 100 percent.
364
I attack ideas. I don’t attack people. And some very good people have some very bad ideas. And if you can’t separate the two, you gotta get another day job. You don’t want to be a judge. At least not a judge on a multi-member panel.
365
My psychiatrist told me I was crazy and I said I want a second opinion. He said okay, you’re ugly too.
366
I want people to talk to one another no matter what their difference of opinion might be.
367
I was given such a great gift. It’s a miracle that never stops amazing me and reminding me to give thanks, every day. Having a wife and daughter gives me a lot more purpose. I was much more selfish before, but now I think about what kind of role model I’ll be. I just want to be a better man.
368
If you want to know the taste of a pear, you must change the pear by eating it yourself. If you want to know the theory and methods of revolution, you must take part in revolution. All genuine knowledge originates in direct experience.
369
370
I don’t want to hear the specials. If they’re so special, put ’em on the menu.
371
372
What you do not want done to yourself, do not do to others.
373
374
To me, the American Dream is being able to follow your own personal calling. To be able to do what you want to do is incredible freedom.
375
I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.
376
377
It is better to vote for what you want and not get it than to vote for what you don’t want and get it.
378
There’s a saying. If you want someone to love you forever, buy a dog, feed it and keep it around.
379
We do not know what we want and yet we are responsible for what we are – that is the fact.
380
381
I don’t want to forgive myself. That’s why I hate psychoanalysis I think if you’re guilty of something you should live with it. Get rid of it – how can you get rid of a real guilt? I think people should live with it, face up to it.
382
You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.
383
You can have anything you want, but not everything. If it was really important to spend an afternoon at my daughter’s school, I had to think, how was I going to organize my life to do that? How could I become more efficient? I always tried to put my priorities on the table, personal and professional, and work around them.
384
Style is whatever you want to do, if you can do it with confidence.
385
I don’t have no friends. I don’t want no friends. That’s how I feel.
386
387
I want to live my life, not record it.
388
389
390
Cute is when a person’s personality shines through their looks. Like in the way they walk, every time you see them you just want to run up and hug them.
391
392
393
You can never get enough of what you don’t want.
394
Meetings are indispensable when you don’t want to do anything.
395
I know I want to always do the best I can.
396
397
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.
398
I pray to God every day that he makes me the biggest superstar, but before that, I ask God to make me a good actor. Being a star is hard, but being an actor is even harder. I want to be both before I am done.
399
400
401
A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.
402
I don’t get all the women that I want… I get all the women that want me.
403
I like to use light as a material, but my medium is actually perception. I want you to sense yourself sensing – to see yourself seeing.
404
Nobody likes to fail. I want to succeed in everything I do, which isn’t much. But the things that I’m really passionate about, if I fail at those, if I’m not successful, what do I have?
405
406
What new technology does is create new opportunities to do a job that customers want done.
407
If you want to be the champ, you’ve got to beat the champ.
408
If you really want to do it, you do it. There are no excuses.
409
You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.
410
411
I do not want to foresee the future. I am concerned with taking care of the present. God has given me no control over the moment following.
412
Be careful not to compromise what you want most for what you want now.
413
I just want to live each moment to the fullest. And enjoy life.
414
415
I’ve always been attracted to women who are assertive and have confidence – qualities older women possess. They’ve been on the Earth a little longer. They’re more seasoned. They don’t play games. They know what they want, and they’re not afraid to tell you.
416
I realize that humor isn’t for everyone. It’s only for people who want to have fun, enjoy life, and feel alive.
417
418
I want to remind the new generation about the power of old school romance.
419
If you want a good education, go to private schools. If you can’t afford it, tough luck. You can go to the public school.
420
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
421
422
I am a simple man who comes from a village, and villagers like us speak our mind. Now, in the process, if unknowingly my words came across as disrespectful or insulting, then I am deeply sorry. I don’t want to hurt anyone.
423
We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.
424
Do something because you really want to do it. If you’re doing it just for the goal and don’t enjoy the path, then I think you’re cheating yourself.
425
We don’t want tradition. We want to live in the present and the only history that is worth a tinker‘s dam is the history we make today.
426
427
Sexuality is who you want to be with. Gender identity is who you want to be in the world.
428
429
All creative people want to do the unexpected.
430
If I am not allowed to laugh in heaven, I don’t want to go there.
431
432
I want a man who’s kind and understanding. Is that too much to ask of a millionaire?
433
434
The predator wants your silence. It feeds their power, entitlement, and they want it to feed your shame.
435
If you want to be successful, it’s just this simple. Know what you are doing. Love what you are doing. And believe in what you are doing.
436
437
I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
438
There is not enough time to do all the nothing we want to do.
439
You have to surround yourself with people who love you and want the best for you.
440
People are basically the same the world over. Everybody wants the same things – to be happy, to be healthy, to be at least reasonably prosperous, and to be secure. They want friends, peace of mind, good family relationships, and hope that tomorrow is going to be even better than today.
441
442
If you want to be thought a liar, always tell the truth.
443
History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.
444
What does love look like? It has the hands to help others. It has the feet to hasten to the poor and needy. It has eyes to see misery and want. It has the ears to hear the sighs and sorrows of men. That is what love looks like.
445
If you want to see law and order, then come to Uttar Pradesh.
446
Rice is great if you’re really hungry and want to eat two thousand of something.
447
448
If you want it, and the more you keep hearing you can’t have it, you just go and get it.
449
I don’t want to be a VIP. I want to be an LIP, a Less Important Person.
450
It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to have to paint it.
451
Darling, I want my gay rights now.
452
453
454
I want to have fun. It’s a beautiful life. You learn, you win, you lose, but you get up.
455
If you want to go east, don’t go west.
456
My dad said, ‘Go to college and take whatever you want.’ So, I went to the University of Miami. When I got up to the line at registration, I saw that you had to take math and history. I said, ‘There’s no way I’m taking math and history.’ And right next to it was the line for the drama department.
457
458
I want the world to be better because I was here.
459
460
If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? That’s the question that changed my life forever.
461
Employees are a company’s greatest asset – they’re your competitive advantage. You want to attract and retain the best; provide them with encouragement, stimulus, and make them feel that they are an integral part of the company’s mission.
462
463
464
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can’t find them, make them.
465
The people who hold that our culture is an oppressive patriarchy, they don’t want to admit that the current hierarchy might be predicated on competence.
466
467
What do you want a meaning for? Life is a desire, not a meaning.
468
Anywhere I see suffering, that is where I want to be, doing what I can.
469
470
471
Socialism states that you owe me something simply because I exist. Capitalism, by contrast, results in a sort of reality-forced altruism: I may not want to help you, I may dislike you, but if I don’t give you a product or service you want, I will starve. Voluntary exchange is more moral than forced redistribution.
472
We’re always going to argue about abortion. It’s a hard choice and it’s controversial, and that’s why I’m pro-choice, because I want people to make their own choices.
473
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
474
475
476
I wanted to live the life, a different life. I didn’t want to go to the same place every day and see the same people and do the same job. I wanted interesting challenges.
477
I’m not afraid of dying I just don’t want to be there when it happens.
478
479
480
481
The past is a great place and I don’t want to erase it or to regret it, but I don’t want to be its prisoner either.
482
All the women want to be with me, all the men want to be like me.
483
484
When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
485
486
We’re only on the earth for a short period of time. Movies aren’t enough. I want to take my success and parlay it into something bigger and better.
487
488
It’s funny because I’ve made a living off of words, but words get in the way of what you really want to say.
489
490
Business is war. I go out there, I want to kill the competitors. I want to make their lives miserable. I want to steal their market share. I want them to fear me and I want everyone on my team thinking we’re going to win.
491
If you want to wear something and you feel confident, you are going to rock it. That’s what I love about fashion: it’s your choice and your chance to express yourself.
492
The change I want to see is a start-up environment where everyone, regardless of gender and background, feels welcome and safe; where sexual harassment or discrimination will not impede great talent from producing great impact.
493
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
494
495
496
When I was a child, there’s one thing I said: ‘I never want to be alone.’ That’s what I would say. I don’t want to be alone.
497
498
Any negotiation involves compromise and no one will get everything they want.
499
500
I love the work, love the grind. I love what I have to go through to get what I want.
501
You can fool some of the people all the time, and those are the ones you want to concentrate on.
502
503
Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.
504
When you want something, all the universe conspires in helping you to achieve it.
505
People can say what they want about me. But I’ve got a big heart and will keep going.
