I just go where the guitar takes me.

I have amazing people around me. I couldn’t be in a better place. I’m grateful for my life and where I’m at. I never thought I could be in the position that I’m in.
23
The way I work with my cinematographer is not based on general principles, but the ideas are triggered by the locations where we shoot.

The best scientists and explorers have the attributes of kids! They ask question and have a sense of wonder. They have curiosity. ‘Who, what, where, why, when, and how!’ They never stop asking questions, and I never stop asking questions, just like a five year old.
31
You get to the point where you’re like, ‘I’m just doing me, and if people don’t like it, then it is what it is.’
32

41
42
All I can tell you really is if you get to the point where someone is telling you that you are not great or not good enough, just follow your heart and don’t let anybody crush your dream.
43
I do believe that there are places where the mythological and the literal touch.

The biggest determinant in our lives is culture, where we are born, what the environment looks like. But the second biggest determinant is probably governance, good governance or a certain kind of governance makes a huge difference in our lives.

It doesn’t matter where you’re from. You can be from the hood or the suburbs. You can be poor with no education or a college graduate. No matter your background, you can win.

Without disruptions in life, where would we be?

Baseball is a game based on adversity. It’s a game that’s going to test you repeatedly. It’s going to find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and force you to adjust. That adversity, in the big picture, is a really good thing because it shows you where your weaknesses are. It gives you the opportunity to improve.

We live life in restaurants, its the center of social life, where we celebrate with family and friends, make new friends, travel without traveling, and of course, eat.

I look to the future because that’s where I’m going to spend the rest of my life.
81
82
83
One day, I will tell my story… where I came from and where I am now and how I remained positive.
84
It only stands to reason that where there’s sacrifice, there’s someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there’s service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
85
86
87
Do not waste time dreaming of great faraway opportunities; do the best you can where you are. Open your petals of power and beauty and fling out the fragrance of your life in the place that has been assigned to you.
88
Snoop Dogg eats terrible. That’s another reason I had to leave him. I would have been dead of a heart attack. He literally eats at 7-11. That’s where he does his grocery shopping or it’s Roscoe’s Chicken & Waffles, or it’s Denny’s delivery. There’s not a piece of salad or vegetable within two miles of this dude.
89
90
91
I was about half in love with her by the time we sat down. That’s the thing about girls. Every time they do something pretty… you fall half in love with them, and then you never know where the hell you are.
92
93
Along the way, let’s never forget that once we were children and that we were all playing together without distinction of skin color, society level, or where people come from. Adults need to remember to play and to be more childlike in our behavior. We’ve forgotten what that childlike experience was like.
94
95
I think the key to getting rid of illegal immigration, no matter where its coming from, is that you need to have a good legal apparatus for immigration.
96
97
I feel like I’m a New Yorker because I really know the city. I actually tell the drivers where to go – I have this bad habit, I always question the drivers. I do that all the time because I feel like I know the best way, when really it’s like, ‘Yo, man, shut up. This dude does this every day of his life.’

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.
106
You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there.
107
Give to us clear vision that we may know where to stand and what to stand for – because unless we stand for something, we shall fall for anything.
108
Where words fail, music speaks.
109
110
Where there is great love, there are always wishes.
111
The foundation of family – that’s where it all begins for me.
112

My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.
114
115
116
I’m like an old turtle these days. I don’t run wide-open everywhere, but at the end of the day, I’ll be where I’m supposed to be.

119
With every drop of water you drink, every breath you take, you’re connected to the sea. No matter where on Earth you live. Most of the oxygen in the atmosphere is generated by the sea.
120
121
The football field was a place where I could express myself and just be me. Play the game as well as you can and that’s what you’re judged on. Not the colour of your skin, or your beliefs, or the conversation you have around racism.
122
123
124
We have created a society where individual rights and freedoms, compassion and diversity are core to our citizenship. But underlying that idea of Canada is the promise that we all have a chance to build a better life for ourselves and our children.
125
What’s great about this country is that America started the tradition where the richest consumers buy essentially the same things as the poorest. You can be watching TV and see Coca-Cola, and you can know that the President drinks Coke. Liz Taylor drinks Coke, and just think, you can drink Coke, too.
126
Extremism can flourish only in an environment where basic governmental social responsibility for the welfare of the people is neglected. Political dictatorship and social hopelessness create the desperation that fuels religious extremism.
127
Home is where you feel at home and are treated well.
128
We are living toward incredible times where the only constant is change, and the rate of change is increasing.
129
130
Golf… is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
131
There can be no tyrants where there are no slaves.
132
133
134
135
Make space in your life for the things that matter, for family and friends, love and generosity, fun and joy. Without this, you will burn out in mid-career and wonder where your life went.
136

Determination Over Negativity is a belief that anything is possible no matter who you are or where you come from.
144
We are now living in a fast paced technological era where every skill that we teach our children becomes obsolete in the 10 to 15 years due to exponentially growing technological advances.
145
146
I have two homes, like someone who leaves their hometown and/or parents and then establishes a life elsewhere. They might say that they’re going home when they return to see old friends or parents, but then they go home as well when they go to where they live now. Sarajevo is home, Chicago is home.
147
Be not afraid of discomfort. If you can’t put yourself in a situation where you are uncomfortable, then you will never grow. You will never change. You’ll never learn.
148
149
Optimistic people play a disproportionate role in shaping our lives. Their decisions make a difference; they are inventors, entrepreneurs, political and military leaders – not average people. They got to where they are by seeking challenges and taking risks.
150
151
Sometimes things aren’t clear right away. That’s where you need to be patient and persevere and see where things lead.
152
If you’re too methodical, too fearful, you’re not going to win. But the clever thing is to make the calculation correctly about where and when to go over the top. You’ve got to know when to push it and when to come back.
153
Where there’s tea there’s hope.
154
155
156
Babylon is everywhere. You have wrong and you have right. Wrong is what we call Babylon, wrong things. That is what Babylon is to me. I could have born in England, I could have born in America, it make no difference where me born, because there is Babylon everywhere.
157
If we don’t change direction soon, we’ll end up where we’re going.
158
My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what’s keeping my head above the water.
159
A leader takes people where they want to go. A great leader takes people where they don’t necessarily want to go, but ought to be.
160
You just gotta keep going and fighting for everything, and one day you’ll get to where you want.
161
162
The single overriding objective in wellness is creating constant personal renewal where we recognize and act on the truth that each day is a miraculous gift, and our job is to untie the ribbons. That’s the Law of Esprit: living life with joy.
163
164
There is a wide, yawning black infinity. In every direction, the extension is endless; the sensation of depth is overwhelming. And the darkness is immortal. Where light exists, it is pure, blazing, fierce; but light exists almost nowhere, and the blackness itself is also pure and blazing and fierce.
165
166
167
It isn’t what you have, or who you are, or where you are, or what you are doing that makes you happy or unhappy. It is what you think about.
168
We are clear that all lives matter, but we live in a world where that’s not actually happening in practice. So if we want to get to the place where all lives matter, then we have to make sure that black lives matter, too.
169
We live in a world where everyone thinks they do the right thing, so they are entitled to do the wrong thing. So ends can justify the means.
170
And where I excel is ridiculous, sickening, work ethic. You know, while the other guy’s sleeping? I’m working.
171
172
You never know where life is going to take you. So everything I do, I just take it one day at a time, and it always leads you to the right place.
173
174
I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
175
176
To not have any hope is where things start to get really bleak. Things are possible. The impossible can be possible.
177
178
179
Most of us grew up with video games in the household, either the original Nintendo in the living room or hoarding quarters for that trip to the arcade. And as time moves on, that line of nostalgia will keep moving forward where ‘Frogger’ gets replaced with ‘Street Fighter 2′ or ‘Resident Evil 4.’
180
181
And it’s a human need to be told stories. The more we’re governed by idiots and have no control over our destinies, the more we need to tell stories to each other about who we are, why we are, where we come from, and what might be possible.
182
183
If there’s any object in human experience that’s a precedent for what a computer should be like, it’s a musical instrument: a device where you can explore a huge range of possibilities through an interface that connects your mind and your body, allowing you to be emotionally authentic and expressive.
184
I started playing violin in the 5th grade. They had a program in school where you could get out of class to go play instruments. So I raised my hand, left out of class, me and a bunch of my homeboys, just to get out of class for that day. They asked what instrument you wanted to play and I picked the violin.
185
People often say that ‘beauty is in the eye of the beholder,’ and I say that the most liberating thing about beauty is realizing that you are the beholder. This empowers us to find beauty in places where others have not dared to look, including inside ourselves.
186
187
188
The only point in making money is, you can tell some big shot where to go.
189
190
You can win all the tournaments you want, but the majors are what you’re remembered for. It’s how you’re measured as a champion in our sport. The majors are where it’s at.
191
192
193
A museum is a place where one should lose one’s head.
194
I want to be a superhero dad to where my kid feel like everything I do is nothing wrong.
195
The Kingdom is the love of God prevailing in politics, in business, in government, in media. It is all the impact of the laws of God creating a social environment where the strong help the weak, where those who have give to those who don’t. It’s a society where relationships are built on love.
196
Your present circumstances don’t determine where you can go; they merely determine where you start.
197
He who does not know how to look back at where he came from will never get to his destination.
198

201
I was a child actor in ‘Deliverance,’ but not the banjo player. It was my dad’s big movie as a director, and at the very end there’s a scene where Jon Voight comes home to his wife. I played his young son.
202
I like going to areas where the murder rate is high and dropping it.
203
How do you go from where you are to where you wanna be? And I think you have to have an enthusiasm for life. You have to have a dream, a goal. And you have to be willing to work for it.
204
What makes a river so restful to people is that it doesn’t have any doubt – it is sure to get where it is going, and it doesn’t want to go anywhere else.
205
If you want a happy ending, that depends, of course, on where you stop your story.
206
Where thou art, that is home.
207
I do not at all understand the mystery of grace – only that it meets us where we are but does not leave us where it found us.
208
209
210
You can be discouraged by failure, or you can learn from it. So go ahead and make mistakes, make all you can. Because, remember that’s where you’ll find success – on the far side of failure.
211
212
I feel like I’m exactly where I’m supposed to be, which is both settling and terrifying. The roller coaster is going, and there is no jumping off at this point unless I just go nuclear. It’s a really interesting part of the whole journey.
213
I have a 60-acre farm in North Carolina, and I have a tractor and a farmhouse. As soon as I groom the land, I want to put cabins around and have a place where people can write and hang out. It’ll be either that or an all-black nudist colony.
214
215
If we could first know where we are, and whither we are tending, we could then better judge what to do, and how to do it.
216
Where there’s water on Earth, you find life as we know it. So if you find water somewhere else, it becomes a remarkable draw to look closer to see if life of any kind is there, even if it’s bacterial, which would be extraordinary for the field of biology.
217
218
Don’t stop until you get where you’re trying to go.
219
If you are building a culture where honest expectations are communicated and peer accountability is the norm, then the group will address poor performance and attitudes.
220
221
222
223
Writing in a journal reminds you of your goals and of your learning in life. It offers a place where you can hold a deliberate, thoughtful conversation with yourself.
224
I wouldn’t be where I am without my fans, and I am very thankful for them.
225
The sadness of the women’s movement is that they don’t allow the necessity of love. See, I don’t personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed.
226
227
Death is such a strange thing. One minute you’re here and then just gone. You’d think there would be an anteroom, a place where you could be visited before you go.
228
Paradise is exactly like where you are right now… only much, much better.
229
You only have so much time in the day, and you only have so many working years. Where do you want to invest that life?
230
Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
231
We are fast approaching the stage of the ultimate inversion: the stage where the government is free to do anything it pleases, while the citizens may act only by permission; which is the stage of the darkest periods of human history, the stage of rule by brute force.
232
Blessed are they who see beautiful things in humble places where other people see nothing.
233
In chess you try to do your best, but there are instances where you make mistakes or you try and take risks that you shouldn’t. And I think losing games is a good thing, because you learn more from when you lose than when you win.
234
235
236
A matter that seems to be very clear in terms of the alternative view, is what do you expect to happen in Africa with regard to immune systems, where people are poor, subject to repeat infections and all of that. Surely you would expect their immune systems to collapse.
237
Empowerment isn’t a buzzword among leadership gurus. It’s a proven technique where leaders give their teams the appropriate training, tools, resources, and guidance to succeed.
238
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.
239
240
We all strive for balance, often moving to extremes to find ourselves somewhere in the middle where we can sustainably exist in optimal inspiration. Working toward balance takes a lot of ingredients. We need courage, reflection, attention, action, and a push-and-pull relationship between effort and relaxation.
241
242
243
If you don’t know where you are going, you might wind up someplace else.
244
You never get away from that thing in your hometown that it has over you. You don’t outgrow where you come from.
245
246
The living room is where we come to think, to slow down the world for a second.
247
All things must come to the soul from its roots, from where it is planted.
248
Accept responsibility for your life. Know that it is you who will get you where you want to go, no one else.
249
Climate change is analogous to Lincoln and slavery or Churchill and Nazism: it’s not the kind of thing where you can compromise.
250
Do what you can, with what you have, where you are.
251
252
People have to go through trials and tribulations to get where they at. Do your thing – continue to rock it – because obviously, God wants you here.
253
254
255
256
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
257
258
We must create economic opportunity, build a culture of entrepreneurship, get people to take responsibility for improving their lives, rather than putting them in a position where they sit back in their poverty and blame others for it.
259
When you love someone, or when someone is special to you, there are situations where little white lies are necessary.
260
You can’t have everything. Where would you put it?
261
Where you have the most armed citizens in America, you have the lowest violent crime rate. Where you have the worst gun control, you have the highest crime rate.
262
Sometimes it takes a good fall to really know where you stand.
263
People come in and out of our lives, and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other.
264
The ultimate measure of a man is not where he stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he stands at times of challenge and controversy.
265
266
267
268
Light is the task where many share the toil.
269
To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.
270
The place where you made your stand never mattered. Only that you were there… and still on your feet.
271
In the courtroom, it’s where a lawyer really becomes an actor. There’s a very fine line between delivering a monologue in a play and delivering a monologue to a jury. I’ve always felt that way – I’ve been in a lot of courtrooms. The best lawyers are really theatrical.
272
273
274
275
I’ll never forget where I came from. It’s always on my mind.
276
Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent to the dark place where it leads.
277
And more importantly, I wouldn’t be the person I am today, I wouldn’t be where I am now and I may not even have been here if it wasn’t for the accident.
278
Landlords, like all other men, love to reap where they never sowed.
279
I don’t think Africa gets as much credit as it should have on the world stage. People tend to think of us as coming from The Dark Continent, where nothing good goes on. That’s not true. A huge amount of, as I say, entrepreneurship goes on.
280
281
None of us got to where we are alone. Whether the assistance we received was obvious or subtle, acknowledging someone’s help is a big part of understanding the importance of saying thank you.
282
The fact of storytelling hints at a fundamental human unease, hints at human imperfection. Where there is perfection there is no story to tell.
283
Control your expenses better than your competition. This is where you can always find the competitive advantage.
284
I give thanks to my Creator for this wonderful life where each of us has the opportunity to learn lessons we could not fully comprehend by any other means.
285
Where there’s marriage without love, there will be love without marriage.
286
Let us dream of tomorrow where we can truly love from the soul, and know love as the ultimate truth at the heart of all creation.
287
Where knowledge ends, religion begins.
288
It keeps me humble just to know exactly where I came from and all the hard work I had to put in to be here. It feels good to reminisce about the past.
289
290
291
Men make history and not the other way around. In periods where there is no leadership, society stands still. Progress occurs when courageous, skillful leaders seize the opportunity to change things for the better.
292
293
If you don’t know where you’re going, you will probably end up somewhere else.
294
Prayer is where the action is.
295
The river is constantly turning and bending and you never know where it’s going to go and where you’ll wind up. Following the bend in the river and staying on your own path means that you are on the right track. Don’t let anyone deter you from that.
296
297
We cannot and will not ban the creation of violent video games. But, we can prevent the distribution of these disturbing games to children, where their effects can be negative.
298
I must not fear. Fear is the mind-killer. Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration. I will face my fear. I will permit it to pass over me and through me. And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path. Where the fear has gone, there will be nothing. Only I will remain.
299
Investing is a business where you can look very silly for a long period of time before you are proven right.
300
With power comes the abuse of power. And where there are bosses, there are crazy bosses. It’s nothing new.
301
Where there are friends there is wealth.
302
I look back, and I have no regrets, truly. Everything led me to the place where I am now.
303
304
305
No matter where I’m at in life, whether I’m in the music industry, rich, poor, everybody need love in their life. Gangsta or not, everybody need love in their life. You can’t act too hard about that.
306
307
No matter where you stand politically – even if you’re unsure of what your political ideology is – it is important to take part in the process of shaping our government.
308
Where there is no vision, there is no hope.
309
310
I grew up in Oxnard, CA, and I went to a church called St. Paul, where I was playing drums. My mom had a strawberry company. The whole town of Oxnard is basically built on produce, and more particularly, strawberries.
311
You never know what the future holds or where my life will take me.
312
I love my living room: it’s the heart of my home where I get to chill and spend time with family and friends.
313
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.
314
Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.
315
Where I am today… I still have my ups and downs, but I take it one day at a time and I just hope that I can be the best that I can possibly be, not only for myself, but also young people that are out there today that need someone to look up to.
316
317
Being myself is what got me to where I am.
318
319
320
Count on me to shine where it doesn’t count.
321
Share everything. Don’t take things that aren’t yours. Put things back where you found them.
322
323
Solitude is the strength of being alone. It’s where we become our best company.
324
Then stirs the feeling infinite, so felt In solitude, where we are least alone.
325
Both read the Bible day and night, but thou read black where I read white.
326
Life doesn’t always end up where you want it to go; you have to be an optimist and keep moving forward.
327
The role of a creative leader is not to have all the ideas; it’s to create a culture where everyone can have ideas and feel that they’re valued.
328
I cannot even imagine where I would be today were it not for that handful of friends who have given me a heart full of joy. Let’s face it, friends make life a lot more fun.
329
330
331
Automation is good, so long as you know exactly where to put the machine.
332
I’m still growing, still learning. I’m still open and vulnerable enough to know there’s much more to be taught to me and learned by me. I hope I don’t reach my pinnacle on this earth where I think I know it all.
333
334
335
Barack knows the American Dream because he’s lived it, and he wants everyone in this country to have that same opportunity, no matter who we are or where we’re from or what we look like or who we love.
336

Postmodernism was a reaction to modernism. Where modernism was about objectivity, postmodernism was about subjectivity. Where modernism sought a singular truth, postmodernism sought the multiplicity of truths.
341
If you put yourself in a position where you have to stretch outside your comfort zone, then you are forced to expand your consciousness.
342
343
344
345
346
Editing is where movies are made or broken. Many a film has been saved and many a film has been ruined in the editing room.
347
348
You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.
349
350
We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time.
351
The world is like a reverse casino. In a casino, if you gamble long enough, you’re certainly going to lose. But in the real world, where the only thing you’re gambling is, say, your time or your embarrassment, then the more stuff you do, the more you give luck a chance to find you.
352
353
Drink! for you know not whence you came nor why: drink! for you know not why you go, nor where.
354
I live in Tuxedo Park, N.Y. and spend time in the West Village, where my wife Elizabeth Cotnoir, a writer-producer and documentary filmmaker, has an office.
355
While imperfect, the electoral college has generally served the republic well. It forces candidates to campaign in a variety of closely contested races, where political debate is typically robust.
356
357
In a universe that’s an intelligent system with a divine creative force supporting it, there simply can be no accidents. As tough as it is to acknowledge, you had to go through what you went through in order to get to where you are today, and the evidence is that you did.
358
359
How do you change the world? Bring people together. Where is the easiest big place to bring people together? In the work environment.
360
We’ve come a long way from the days where there was state-enforced segregation. But we still have a way to go.
361
362
Genius… is the capacity to see ten things where the ordinary man sees one.
363
I think that passion is the secret ingredient that drives hard work and excellence. My passion is to serve the public: to be in the arena of public policy, to have the opportunity to solve problems for our country, to be in a position where I can make a difference.
364
Trust in what you love, continue to do it, and it will take you where you need to go.
365
366
Where id was, there ego shall be.
367
I’m substantially concerned about the policy directions of the space agency. We have a situation in the U.S. where the White House and Congress are at odds over what the future direction should be. They’re sort of playing a game and NASA is the shuttlecock that they’re hitting back and forth.
368
Whoever said money can’t buy happiness simply didn’t know where to go shopping.
369
I would like to say to people, open your eyes and find beauty where you normally don’t expect it.
370
I have great respect for the past. If you don’t know where you’ve come from, you don’t know where you’re going. I have respect for the past, but I’m a person of the moment. I’m here, and I do my best to be completely centered at the place I’m at, then I go forward to the next place.
371
Where you come from now is much less important than where you’re going. More and more of us are rooted in the future or the present tense as much as in the past. And home, we know, is not just the place where you happen to be born. It’s the place where you become yourself.
372
The game of basketball brings people together. It really doesn’t matter where you are coming from. It’s a game all of us love.
373
Your wealth is where your friends are.
374
Home is, in the end, not just the place where you sleep, but the place where you stand.
375
With artificial intelligence, we are summoning the demon. You know all those stories where there’s the guy with the pentagram and the holy water, and he’s like, yeah, he’s sure he can control the demon? Doesn’t work out.
376
377
Success is where preparation and opportunity meet.
378
379
I’ll walk where my own nature would be leading: It vexes me to choose another guide.
380
381
Where the senses fail us, reason must step in.
382
Let the world know you as you are, not as you think you should be, because sooner or later, if you are posing, you will forget the pose, and then where are you?
383
In a modern and innovative society, where advancements are plentiful and communication is instantaneous, science and technology are a part of everyday life.
384
Australia is not a secular country. It is a free country. This is a nation where you have the freedom to follow any belief system you choose.
385
I am the type where I don’t worry about anything else but how to top what I did yesterday. My main goal is to top what I did before.
386
You get this overview effect where you realize how small we are and how fragile our planet is and how we’re really all in it together. You don’t see borders from space, you don’t see diversity and differences in people on Earth.
387
My favorite thing is to go where I’ve never been.
388
A lot of people think international relations is like a game of chess. But it’s not a game of chess, where people sit quietly, thinking out their strategy, taking their time between moves. It’s more like a game of billiards, with a bunch of balls clustered together.
389
To live is to choose. But to choose well, you must know who you are and what you stand for, where you want to go and why you want to get there.
390
391
For me, I think one of the biggest battles is mentally. You have good days, and you have bad days. Randomly, you’ll feel good for weeks, and then all of a sudden, you’ll have a bad day where you’re really sore. And you end up questioning yourself, like, ‘Am I doing the right thing? Why is this so hard?’
392
393
The Edge… there is no honest way to explain it because the only people who really know where it is are the ones who have gone over.
394
We have to acknowledge that adolescence is that time of transition where we begin to introduce to children that life isn’t pretty, that there are difficult things, there are hard situations, it’s not fair. Bad things happen to good people.
395
I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
396
397
Where I am, I don’t know, I’ll never know, in the silence you don’t know, you must go on, I can’t go on, I’ll go on.
398
399
Persuasion is achieved by the speaker‘s personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible. We believe good men more fully and more readily than others: this is true generally whatever the question is, and absolutely true where exact certainty is impossible and opinions are divided.
400
The game of basketball has been everything to me. My place of refuge, place I’ve always gone where I needed comfort and peace. It’s been the site of intense pain and the most intense feelings of joy and satisfaction. It’s a relationship that has evolved over time, given me the greatest respect and love for the game.
401
Where educators are raising and combining their voices, the seeds of positive change have emerged. Collective voice, exercised through the union, is power – the power to drive real change for our kids, families and communities.
402
403
I am proud of where I came from, and I am proud of what I’ve been able to achieve through hard work and perseverance. And I guarantee you that anyone who tries to say otherwise hasn’t walked a day in my shoes.
404
Our society constantly promotes role models for masculinity, from superheroes to politicians, where the concept of being a ‘man’ is based in their ability to be tough, dominant – and even violent when required.
405
406
407
But from each crime are born bullets that will one day seek out in you where the heart lies.
408
Inspiration is hard to come by. You have to take it where you find it.
409
Where there is righteousness in the heart, there is beauty in the character. When there is beauty in the character, there is harmony in the home. When there is harmony in the home, there is order in the nation. When there is order in the nation, there is peace in the world.
410
I don’t want to know what time it is. I don’t want to know what day it is or where I am. None of that matters.
411
412
413
Women are capable of doing so many things these days, physically, emotionally, within relationships and career. There are so many things that women have evolved into and I feel really proud about where women are right now.
414
415
Loneliness is different than isolation and solitude. Loneliness is a subjective feeling where the connections we need are greater than the connections we have. In the gap, we experience loneliness. It’s distinct from the objective state of isolation, which is determined by the number of people around you.
416
417
418
419
The garden suggests there might be a place where we can meet nature halfway.
420
Mental toughness is a lifestyle. It’s something that you live every single day of your life. When I was growing up, I was a lazy kid. I was a lazy kid, and everybody goes, ‘How did you get to where you’re at today? How did you get to where you’re running 200 miles at one time in 39 hours? Being so disciplined?’
421
It is not a question of whether I believe in voodoo. I am a scholar and, as such, I have studied the concept of voodoo. I have created the faculty of Afro-Haitian ethnology in our university where the concept of voodoo is taught. Voodoo is not superstition. It is a philosophy, a conception of God.
422
Popular culture is one of the sites where this struggle for and against a culture of the powerful is engaged: it is also the stake to be won or lost in that struggle. It is the arena of consent and resistance.
423
424
Where all are guilty, no one is; confessions of collective guilt are the best possible safeguard against the discovery of culprits, and the very magnitude of the crime the best excuse for doing nothing.
425
Chemistry is a class you take in high school or college, where you figure out two plus two is 10, or something.
426
Where do the evils like corruption arise from? It comes from the never-ending greed. The fight for corruption-free ethical society will have to be fought against this greed and replace it with ‘what can I give’ spirit.
427
Football is my sanctuary. It’s where I go to escape. It’s where I’m most happy.
428
429
There’s no medals for trying. This isn’t like eighth grade where everybody gets a trophy. We are in a professional sport, and it is competitive to win. That’s what we do.
430
431
If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading.
432
We danced on the lip of the volcano, so to speak. We were young, too. And New York was still a big, open city where anything could happen and anyone could be star. Rents were cheap, creativity was encouraged, and bottle service was still 20 years away. That was the era the Club Kids came into.
433
I’ve played for Real Madrid, where the pressure is so huge because you have to go and really win absolutely every game.
434
If you look at history, innovation doesn’t come just from giving people incentives; it comes from creating environments where their ideas can connect.
435
436
You reach a point where you don’t work for money.
437
The only way we can reduce the number of these endangered species is to improve and provide additional habitat where they can live and reproduce.
438
If you don’t know where you are going, every road will get you nowhere.
439
Where is the Life we have lost in living? Where is the wisdom we have lost in knowledge? Where is the knowledge we have lost in information?
440
If you want to be a rock star or just be famous, then run down the street naked, you’ll make the news or something. But if you want music to be your livelihood, then play, play, play and play! And eventually you’ll get to where you want to be.
441
It doesn’t matter what the colour of your skin is, your sexual preference, the region where you were born, your gender. We’re all equal… We can’t take certain minorities and think they have super powers and are different from the others.
442
443
Faith begins where Reason sinks exhausted.
444
445
The God we serve does not seek out the perfect, but instead uses our imperfections and our shortcomings for his greater good. I am humbled by my own limitations. But where I am weak, He is strong.
446
It’s not an easy journey, to get to a place where you forgive people. But it is such a powerful place, because it frees you.
447
Architects have to become designers of eco-systems. Not just designers of beautiful facades or beautiful sculptures, but systems of economy and ecology, where we channel the flow not only of people, but also the flow of resources through our cities and buildings.
448
449
450
I went to the mosque one day, and it came to me, like, ‘This is where I belong.’
451
I long for the countryside. That’s where I get my calm and tranquillity – from being able to come and find a spot of green.
452
There can be economy only where there is efficiency.
453
My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope of earth.
454
455
All coaching is, is taking a player where he can’t take himself.
456
Not like Chinese food, where you eat it and then you feel hungry an hour later.
457
Welcome to Lake Wobegon, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average.
458
459
I’ve done a lot of work to get where I’m at, but I have to keep working.
460
461
Love you will find only where you may show yourself weak without provoking strength.
462
463
The sign of a good society is where talent is respected.
464
Lead us not into temptation. Just tell us where it is; we’ll find it.
465
Nice guys finish first. If you don’t know that, then you don’t know where the finish line is.
466
467
Flowers heal me. Tulips make me happy. I keep myself surrounded by them as soon as they start coming to the island from Canada, and after that when they come from the fields in La Connor, not far from where I live.
468
The only place where your dream becomes impossible is in your own thinking.
469
This is what people don’t understand: obesity is a symptom of poverty. It’s not a lifestyle choice where people are just eating and not exercising. It’s because kids – and this is the problem with school lunch right now – are getting sugar, fat, empty calories – lots of calories – but no nutrition.
470
Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
471
I’m concentrating on staying healthy, having peace, being happy, remembering what is important, taking in nature and animals, spending time reading, trying to understand the universe, where science and the spiritual meet.
472
473
Just don’t give up trying to do what you really want to do. Where there is love and inspiration, I don’t think you can go wrong.
474
Where there is unity there is always victory.
475
The way I make art – the way a lot of people make art – is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.
476
I kinda live where I find myself.
477
478
The best marriages are the ones where we can go out in the world and really put ourselves out there. A lot of times we’ll fail, and sometimes we’ll pull it off. But good marriages are when you can go home and know that your vulnerability will be honored as courage, and that you’ll find support.
479
We live in a world where all wars will begin as cyber wars… It’s the combination of hacking and massive, well-coordinated disinformation campaigns.
480
It’s pretty refreshing to be in a situation where the spotlight is on someone else.
481
I like gardening – it’s a place where I find myself when I need to lose myself.
482
Where there is no struggle, there is no strength.
483
But the power of instruction is seldom of much efficacy, except in those happy dispositions where it is almost superfluous.
484
I will continue to work hard until I get to where I want to be.
485
Trust is to human relationships what faith is to gospel living. It is the beginning place, the foundation upon which more can be built. Where trust is, love can flourish.
