I’m not a parenting expert. In fact, I’m not sure that I even believe in the idea of ‘parenting experts.’ I’m an engaged, imperfect parent and a passionate researcher. I’m an experienced mapmaker and a stumbling traveler. Like many of you, parenting is by far my boldest and most daring adventure.

Women are the real reason we get up every day. I’m talking about real men. If there were no women, I would not even have to bathe, because why would I care? These are guys I’m hanging with. I wake up for a woman every day of my life to make it happen for her.

Even if you’re on the right track, you’ll get run over if you just sit there.
105
I am a sports enthusiast, and if given an opportunity, I want to be a sportsman, even today. I want to promote the sport that is indigenous to India. Kabaddi is a matter of national pride. Why can’t cricket, hockey, football and kabaddi be given equal platforms and co-exist? I believe that can happen.
106
Habit allows us to go from ‘before’ to ‘after,’ to make life easier and better.

141
142
I like ambiguity because you may be the villain in someone else’s story and the hero in your own, and I think very often, African-American characters are either one thing or the other. You shouldn’t have to be perfectly good or perfectly bad. You don’t even have to be magical.
143

145
146
147
148

Religion, in any form, is always interesting to me because of how powerful it is. Not even the religion itself, but to the people that follow it… The effect that it has had on people’s minds.

184
185
186
187
Doubts never end. If one doubt is removed, another takes its place. It is like removing the leaves of a tree one by one. Even if all the leaves are clipped off, new ones grow. The tree itself must be uprooted.
188
People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.

210
211
212
Why should men be constrained by antiquated stereotypes of masculinity? What does it even mean to ‘Be a Real Man‘ anymore? Shouldn’t we all be celebrating a wide range of definitions of manhood?

You do the right thing even if it makes you feel bad. The purpose of life is not to be happy but to be worthy of happiness.

215
216
Gun control means being able to hit your target. If I have a ‘hot button‘ issue, this is definitely it. Don’t even think about taking my guns. My rights are not negotiable, and I am totally unwilling to compromise when it comes to the Second Amendment.
217
218
Happiness is within the reach of everyone, rich or poor. Yet comparatively few people are happy. I believe the reason for this is that the majority don’t recognize happiness even when it is within their grasp.

The bad thing about being a famous comedian is that every now and then someone approaches me to tell an old joke. Don’t tell me jokes – I have that. People also say the weirdest things, sometimes sarcastic things, and even evil things. They like to provoke to get a reaction.
222
223
Even victors are by victories undone.
224
We live in an age of innovation, where digital technology is providing solutions to problems before we’ve even realised we needed them. We see it every day as we find new ways to travel, eat and shop.

246
247
While on top of Everest, I looked across the valley towards the great peak Makalu and mentally worked out a route about how it could be climbed.

248
Every human heart cries and yearns for the same thing: a chance to fulfill his or her own dreams and desires. Even the poorest man has a dream.

254
255

261
262
It’s not our job to play judge and jury, to determine who is worthy of our kindness and who is not. We just need to be kind, unconditionally and without ulterior motive, even – or rather, especially – when we’d prefer not to be.
263
264
265
266

274
I trust no one, not even myself.
275
276

277
278
The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.

Indeed, man wishes to be happy even when he so lives as to make happiness impossible.
284
285
286
When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.
287
288
Being a philosopher is to think, seek wisdom, and have principles that guide and influence what you do. It’s to give meaning to things, find your way in the world, believe that in the end, in every instance, good will overcome evil, even if there’s a bit of suffering along the way.
289
I don’t care what people think of me. I don’t even care what happens to me.

293
294
295
296
I am not a creationist as the term is usually understood. I believe that the earth is billions of years old and the universe even older. I do believe that God is the creator, but that’s a completely different thing. I’ve written in defense of evolution and made arguments that are based on evolution.
297
298
299
Pain forces even the innocent to lie.
300
We have to forget the past. History is something that even today we are paying the consequences, and the future is integration. We all as a people, as citizens, as the leadership of both countries should be looking in that direction.
301
302
Even the striving for equality by means of a directed economy can result only in an officially enforced inequality – an authoritarian determination of the status of each individual in the new hierarchical order.

309
310
311
Even peace may be purchased at too high a price.
312
Even though you’re growing up, you should never stop having fun.
313
If there is a meaning in life at all, then there must be a meaning in suffering. Suffering is an ineradicable part of life, even as fate and death. Without suffering and death, human life cannot be complete.
314
315
Human beings do things for a reason, even if sometimes it’s the wrong reason.
316
317
One person can make a difference, even if it takes forty years.
318

320
321
Even in the 1950s, President Eisenhower was concerned about what he called a campaign of hatred of the U.S. in the Arab world, because of the perception on the Arab street that it supported harsh and oppressive regimes to take their oil.
322
I know that love is real when it’s not convenient, when it’s not selfish, when it’s challenged, sometimes even if it’s not reciprocated.
323
I don’t have a formula to pass on. I always did it my own way. Even today, I hold my independence close. It’s what’s most precious to me. Passion. Risk. Tenacity. Consistency. This is my professional history.
324
325
326
Any change, even a change for the better, is always accompanied by drawbacks and discomforts.
327
328
329
At the age when other children, I imagine, experience their first ‘feeling’ for a person, or for art, or for religion, I was affectionate, good, and even pious: by that I mean that under the influence of my mother, I was devoted to the Child Jesus.
330
331
332
Revenge by young men is considered gain, even at the cost of their own lives, but old men who stay at home in times of war, and mothers who have sons to lose, know better.
333
334
The pop-star thing bores me because it’s somebody programming someone else. Stand over here, sing that, no, sing it like this, talk like that, when they ask you this, don’t say that, say this, hold that, drive this, stay here, live there – you’re not even a human being. You’re a puppet.
335
Courage conquers all things: it even gives strength to the body.
336
Even when life challenges us, it’s a gift beyond all measure.
337
338
339
340
The making of the far-famed New York Central Park was opposed by even good men, with misguided pluck, perseverance, and ingenuity, but straight right won its way, and now that park is appreciated. So we confidently believe it will be with our great national parks and forest reservations.
341
You’ve got as many lives as you like, and more, even ones you don’t want.

Traditions are the guideposts driven deep in our subconscious minds. The most powerful ones are those we can’t even describe, aren’t even aware of.
343
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.
344
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.
345
346
347
If you want to be honest with yourself, you have to take criticism, even if you attract adverse comments from others.
348

349
350
351
352
353
354
355
No matter the risks we take, we always consider the end to be too soon, even though in life, more than anything else, quality should be more important than quantity.
356
Common sense is the most fairly distributed thing in the world, for each one thinks he is so well-endowed with it that even those who are hardest to satisfy in all other matters are not in the habit of desiring more of it than they already have.
357
358
We think, each of us, that we’re much more rational than we are. And we think that we make our decisions because we have good reasons to make them. Even when it’s the other way around. We believe in the reasons, because we’ve already made the decision.
359
The red car, even before I knew it was called Ferrari, was my obsession.
360
361
362
363
I wish my name was Brian because maybe sometimes people would misspell my name and call me Brain. That’s like a free compliment and you don’t even gotta be smart to notice it.
364
I’ve come to understand that there’s always something positive, even in a negative situation.
365
I think we ought always to entertain our opinions with some measure of doubt. I shouldn’t wish people dogmatically to believe any philosophy, not even mine.

I have seen what a laugh can do. It can transform almost unbearable tears into something bearable, even hopeful.
367
Better remain silent, better not even think, if you are not prepared to act.
368
Women are considered deep – why? Because one can never discover any bottom to them. Women are not even shallow.
369
I am the greatest, I said that even before I knew I was.
370
A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

372
Even if I died in the service of the nation, I would be proud of it. Every drop of my blood… will contribute to the growth of this nation and to make it strong and dynamic.
373
I know that campaigns can seem small, and even silly. Trivial things become big distractions. Serious issues become sound bites. And the truth gets buried under an avalanche of money and advertising. If you’re sick of hearing me approve this message, believe me – so am I.
374
375
But even the President of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked.
376
377
378
379
The United States has to move very fast to even stand still.
380
381
Kindness is in our power, even when fondness is not.
382
383
Even if a unity of faith is not possible, a unity of love is.
384
385
386
There is a fellowship more quiet even than solitude, and which, rightly understood, is solitude made perfect.
387
To survive and even thrive in a changing world, nature offers another great lesson: the survivors are those who at the least adapt to change, or even better learn to benefit from change and grow intellectually and personally. That means careful listening and constant learning.
388
389
390
Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
391
Even perfection has room for improvement.
392
393
A founder can carry an institution only so far, and then others have to step in, even the alumni. That’s how an institution becomes one.
394
395
When you’re introducing a mobile app, you look around and say, ‘We could be doing 15 different things, but how do we communicate to someone why they would want to download and even sign up for this thing?’
396
Tennis is mostly mental. Of course, you must have a lot of physical skill, but you can’t play tennis well and not be a good thinker. You win or lose the match before you even go out there.
397
398
Even God lends a hand to honest boldness.
399
What is really important for a woman, you know, even more than being beautiful or intelligent, is to be entertaining.
400
Success or failure in business is caused more by the mental attitude even than by mental capacities.
401
We are the children of our landscape; it dictates behavior and even thought in the measure to which we are responsive to it.
402
I’m a multi-faceted woman and person, like all women are – there’s no black and white. We have shades of grey in the middle. And even many more colours that other people don’t see!
403
404
405
Making duplicate copies and computer printouts of things no one wanted even one of in the first place is giving America a new sense of purpose.
406
407
Language is a process of free creation; its laws and principles are fixed, but the manner in which the principles of generation are used is free and infinitely varied. Even the interpretation and use of words involves a process of free creation.
408
409
My liberty is about living. It’s about spreading more love. Even though I was always a peaceful, loving individual, my music sometimes didn’t reflect that. But now it’s different. My music is reflecting the way I feel.
410
A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men.
411
The most important advances, the qualitative leaps, are the least predictable. Not even the best scientists predicted the impact of nuclear physics, and everyday consumer items such as the iPhone would have seemed magic back in the 1950s.
412
413
Learning is a result of listening, which in turn leads to even better listening and attentiveness to the other person. In other words, to learn from the child, we must have empathy, and empathy grows as we learn.
414
You can only hate someone whom you have the capacity to love, because if you are really indifferent, you cannot even get up the enough energy to hate him.
415
I’m really thankful for every experience I’ve had, even the ones that were puzzling or disorienting, because they taught me so much.
416
Doing voiceovers is so great because even though many people would think it’s just your voice, you really do use all your physicality. I’ve done everything from playing a butterfly to Alice in Wonderland when she’s 10 feet tall, so it allows you to be an actor and build new characters.
417
418
419
I don’t smile as much as I should, even though I smile inside a lot.
420
Experience hath shewn, that even under the best forms of government those entrusted with power have, in time, and by slow operations, perverted it into tyranny.
421
What we have found in this country, and maybe we’re more aware of it now, is one problem that we’ve had, even in the best of times, and that is the people who are sleeping on the grates, the homeless, you might say, by choice.
422
Wherever the bishop appears, there let the people be, even as wheresoever Christ Jesus is, there is the catholic church.
423
424
425
426
Beetles and butterflies are sometimes restricted to small areas. Each mountain in a range, and even the different zones of a mountain, may have its own peculiar species. But the house-fly seems to be everywhere. I wonder if any island in mid-ocean is flyless.
427
428
Even if I’m talking about something that’s negative, I look at it as putting my mistakes out there for people to learn from it.
429
Even if I might say to myself, ‘I don’t need health insurance. I won’t get sick,’ the fact is, as human beings with mortality, we are going to get sick, and it’s unpredictable when.
430
The police cannot protect the citizen at this stage of our development, and they cannot even protect themselves in many cases. It is up to the private citizen to protect himself and his family, and this is not only acceptable, but mandatory.
431
When you make the finding yourself – even if you’re the last person on Earth to see the light – you’ll never forget it.
432
433
434
Poetry, even when apparently most fantastic, is always a revolt against artifice, a revolt, in a sense, against actuality.
435
Truth is always served by great minds, even if they fight it.
436
Reserve your right to think, for even to think wrongly is better than not to think at all.
437
438
Man does not live by soap alone; and hygiene, or even health, is not much good unless you can take a healthy view of it or, better still, feel a healthy indifference to it.
439
I love having short hair – that means I can wear big earrings and even dresses sometimes without me feeling too feminine.
440
441
442
While one man can discover a certain thing by himself, another is never able to understand it, even if taught by means of all possible expressions and metaphors, and during a long period; his mind can in no way grasp it, his capacity is insufficient for it.
443
444
445
I’m a perfectionist, and even if something comes out great, it’s still not perfect, you know?
446
Even if you are on the right track, you will get run over if you just sit there.
447
Even at my lowest point, when I’ve wanted to give up, I know that I have to believe in myself because I’m all that I have.
448
449
Always be a poet, even in prose.
450
When I was 27 years old, I left a very demanding job in management consulting for a job that was even more demanding: teaching. I went to teach seventh graders math in the New York City public schools.
451
There could be shadow galaxies, shadow stars, and even shadow people.
452
I want to make beautiful things, even if nobody cares.
453
Evil, when we are in its power, is not felt as evil, but as a necessity, even a duty.
454
455
456
Gender is not an easy conversation to have. It makes people uncomfortable, sometimes even irritable. Both men and women are resistant to talk about gender or are quick to dismiss the problems of gender. Because thinking of changing the status quo is always uncomfortable.
457
Speak your mind, even if your voice shakes.
458
459
We’re so trendy we can’t even escape ourselves.
460
My first movie was this independent that I did on the Erie Canal in 1995, called Erie, that I don’t know if you could even get, actually with Felicity Huffman. And then from that I did this film that was eventually called The Broken Giant later that fall. And then I kind of started getting into doing pilots.
461
If you even dream of beating me you’d better wake up and apologize.
462
Even after all this time, the sun never says to the earth, ‘You owe me.’ Look what happens with a love like that. It lights the whole sky.
463
If you love those who love you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners love those who love them. And if you do good to those who do good to you, what credit is that to you? For even sinners do the same.
464
In all history there is no war which was not hatched by the governments, the governments alone, independent of the interests of the people, to whom war is always pernicious even when successful.
465
I think we all have different personalities… and even in relationships, we can be called psycho, and we can be called sweet, based on what the person feels about you.
466
467
Being a good actor isn’t easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I’m done.
468
469
470
471
472
The dog lives for the day, the hour, even the moment.
473
474
Everything is a blessing, even meetings. Whether it’s meetings or running gassers or lifting, it’s an opportunity, and the best thing to do is be thankful for it.
475
You don’t get music in your daily life, do you? Even in a movie, it’s unnatural to have music. I always feel it’s unnatural. But I want to make it not unnatural, to construct reality in another sense.
476
You can live your life angry, bitter, mad at somebody or even guilty, not letting go of your own mistakes, but you won’t receive the good things God has in store.
477
Things don’t always go your way in football: there are always good and bad times. At the end of the day, you have to have a positive attitude and a strong mentality and not let any setbacks get you down. And that’s what I’ve done – I’ve tried to keep my composure, even when things aren’t going the way I’d like.
478
We live in a disposable society. It’s easier to throw things out than to fix them. We even give it a name – we call it recycling.
479
480
Once social media was introduced, it enabled a new way for people, particularly the younger generation, to connect with one another, based on common interests, goals and even values.
481
Even if you don’t have time for a big workout, stretching in the morning and night really changes your body.
482
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.
483
I don’t wish jail on nobody, not even my worst enemies.
484
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.
485
486
I don’t even listen to rap. My apartment is too nice to listen to rap in.
487
488
Treat all men alike. Give them the same law. Give them an even chance to live and grow.
489
490
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.
491
492
Everyone wants to be Cary Grant. Even I want to be Cary Grant.
493
Go up in an airplane. Go high enough, and it’s like we don’t even exist.
494
Be loyal to those who are loyal to you. And respect everyone, even your enemies and competition.
495
496
497
I started being really proud of the fact that I was gay even though I wasn’t.
498
It’s not even about looking good; it’s about feeling good inside. Celebrity Sweat makes everyone aware of that but in a fun way with their favorite athletes.
499
All my life, the naysayers have told me that I can’t win because I’m a progressive… because I’m a woman… even because I’m a lesbian.
500
China and the U.S. are two societies with very different attitudes towards opinion and criticism. In China, I am constantly under surveillance. Even my slightest, most innocuous move can – and often is – censored by Chinese authorities.
501
502
We are going to have peace even if we have to fight for it.
503
I always wanted to be a femme fatale. Even when I was a young girl, I never really wanted to be a girl. I wanted to be a woman.
504
505
506
Perhaps even these things, one day, will be pleasing to remember.
507
Consistency of performance is essential. You don’t have to be exceptional every week but as a minimum you need to be at a level that even on a bad day you get points on the board.
508
509
Everything is political. I will never be a politician or even think political. Me just deal with life and nature. That is the greatest thing to me.
510
Time travel and teleportation will have to wait. It may take centuries to master these technology. But within the coming decades, we will understand dark matter, perhaps test string theory, find planets which can harbor life, and maybe have Brain 2.0, i.e. our consciousness on a disk which will survive even after we die.
511
512
513
514
515
Remember even though the outside world might be raining, if you keep on smiling the sun will soon show its face and smile back at you.
516
Willingness to change is a strength, even if it means plunging part of the company into total confusion for a while.
517
518
519
520
More information is always better than less. When people know the reason things are happening, even if it’s bad news, they can adjust their expectations and react accordingly. Keeping people in the dark only serves to stir negative emotions.
521
I drink booze, I smoke, and I’m hooked on caffeine. I actually have been known to swear at times and belch and even raise my voice when provoked. And I’m not physically repressed!
522
I’m inconsistent, even to myself.
523
Even as you make progress, you need the discipline to keep from backtracking and sabotaging the success as it’s happening.
524
Suppose that we are wise enough to learn and know – and yet not wise enough to control our learning and knowledge, so that we use it to destroy ourselves? Even if that is so, knowledge remains better than ignorance.
525
The bottom line in the Christian life is obedience and most people don’t even like the word.
526
527
Even when I’m old and grey, I won’t be able to play it, but I’ll still love the game.
528
A bad peace is even worse than war.
529
530
Even if it turns out that time travel is impossible, it is important that we understand why it is impossible.
531
We cannot live being obsessed with what other people think about us. It’s impossible to live like that. Not even God managed to please the entire world.
532
533
534
Even when we talked about child labor, we were frowned upon. But then you know that you have to speak the truth irrespective of the repercussions.
535
536
537
538
We stumble and fall constantly even when we are most enlightened. But when we are in true spiritual darkness, we do not even know that we have fallen.
539
Always kiss your children goodnight, even if they’re already asleep.
540
541
I have come to believe that a great teacher is a great artist and that there are as few as there are any other great artists. Teaching might even be the greatest of the arts since the medium is the human mind and spirit.
542
Always give a word or sign of salute when meeting or passing a friend, or even a stranger, if in a lonely place.
543
We have to stand up for what we believe in, even when we might not be popular for it. Honesty starts with being ourselves, authentic and true to who we are and what we believe in, and that may not always be popular, but it will always let you follow your dreams and your heart.
544
Who you are as a person will only be amplified once you are ‘famous,’ so if you had a good heart, then I would imagine you’ll have the same good heart but the means to do even more with it.
545
When the whole world is silent, even one voice becomes powerful.
546
When you’re doing something you’re not used to, you kind of realize that you’re still a kid: even though the whole world around you sees you as an adult and you’re expected to act like an adult, you still haven’t actually grown up.
547
548
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
549
Resilience is accepting your new reality, even if it’s less good than the one you had before.
550
551
I may be wrong, but I am never in doubt! And anyone who has been around me for even a minute understands that my self-confidence and self-esteem is sometimes overwhelming!
552
553
In football, even when you do your best on the pitch, you can win or lose. That is the nature of the game.
554
A girl has to be super-hot now for me to be even semi-interested.
555
556
Even if you fall on your face, you’re still moving forward.
557
One must not cheat anyone, not even the world of its victory.
558
Well, love is insanity. The ancient Greeks knew that. It is the taking over of a rational and lucid mind by delusion and self-destruction. You lose yourself, you have no power over yourself, you can’t even think straight.
559
560
Almost half of the population of the world lives in rural regions and mostly in a state of poverty. Such inequalities in human development have been one of the primary reasons for unrest and, in some parts of the world, even violence.
561
A liar will not be believed, even when he speaks the truth.
562
There is a theory which states that if ever anyone discovers exactly what the Universe is for and why it is here, it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another theory which states that this has already happened.
563
564
Individuals need to be willing to face truth about their attitudes, behaviors, even what we want out of life.
565
Be polite; write diplomatically; even in a declaration of war one observes the rules of politeness.
566
The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.
567
The trouble with the rat race is that even if you win, you’re still a rat.
568
When I was young we weren’t even allowed to speak our own languages in school. They called it ‘vernacular,’ as if only English was the real tongue.
569
570
Honesty is a foundation, and it’s usually a solid foundation. Even if I do get in trouble for what I said, it’s something that I can stand on.
571
572
Kisses, even to the air, are beautiful.
573
No great achiever – even those who made it seem easy – ever succeeded without hard work.
574
The world, when you look at it, it just can’t be random. I mean, it’s so different than the vast emptiness that is everything else, and even all the other planets we’ve seen, at least in our solar system, none of them even remotely resemble the precious life-giving nature of our own planet.
575
All generalizations are dangerous, even this one.
576
577
578
At some point in life the world’s beauty becomes enough. You don’t need to photograph, paint or even remember it. It is enough.
579
Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.
580
You women could make someone fall in love even with a lie.
581
582
Before I came out, the thought of someone calling me gay, even when I knew very well that I was, was petrifying.
583
Never compromise your principles, even if it leads to difficulties in the short term.
584
In many ways, writing is the act of saying ‘I,’ of imposing oneself upon other people, of saying, ‘Listen to me, see it my way, change your mind.’ It’s an aggressive, even a hostile act.
585
Facts which at first seem improbable will, even on scant explanation, drop the cloak which has hidden them and stand forth in naked and simple beauty.
586
587
For it is mutual trust, even more than mutual interest that holds human associations together. Our friends seldom profit us but they make us feel safe. Marriage is a scheme to accomplish exactly that same end.
588
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.
589
590
591
If you so choose, even the unexpected setbacks can bring new and positive possibilities. If you so choose, you can find value and fulfillment in every circumstance.
592
593
594
The biggest lessons I’ve learned in life have probably come from a bad situation, from an angry situation, even if I wasn’t the one who was angry.
595
While we walking, while we breathing, we dying… I be really feeling like, even though we live to die, some people be dying to live.
596
597
Keep a good attitude and do the right thing even when it’s hard. When you do that you are passing the test. And God promises you your marked moments are on their way.
598
It takes time to persuade men to do even what is for their own good.
599
Even in a world with much sadness, at its essence, life is beautiful.
600
601
I have lots of friends, but I’m probably a terrible friend to all of them, even my family. I wouldn’t be surprised if I found myself with no friends later on in life. My friends become my enemies.
602
603
The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.
604
605
606
607
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.
608
It is surprising to notice that even from the earliest age, man finds the greatest satisfaction in feeling independent. The exalting feeling of being sufficient to oneself comes as a revelation.
609
610
611
God is, even though the whole world deny him. Truth stands, even if there be no public support. It is self-sustained.
612
If my father had hugged me even once, I’d be an accountant right now.
613
To bear with patience wrongs done to oneself is a mark of perfection, but to bear with patience wrongs done to someone else is a mark of imperfection and even of actual sin.
614
615
Leadership can not be measured in a poll or even in the result of an election. It can only be truly seen with the benefit of time. From the perspective of 20 years, not 20 days.
616
617
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.
618
If people think I am gay, yeah, hey that doesn’t bother me. Not at all. What would people think? To me I am such a heterosexual guy. It doesn’t even, I don’t even think about it.
619
620
I do not want war. I am not seeking revenge, even though I can see before my eyes the great sacrifices made by the Ukrainian people. I am seeking peace and will achieve Ukraine‘s unity.
621
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.
622
623
624
I believe that in a great city, or even in a small city or a village, a great theater is the outward and visible sign of an inward and probable culture.
625
626
Every discourse, even a poetic or oracular sentence, carries with it a system of rules for producing analogous things and thus an outline of methodology.
627
Thought is powerful in all phases. Even in my career, even in my life, things end up exactly how I visualized them.
628
International affairs is very much run like the mafia. The godfather does not accept disobedience, even from a small storekeeper who doesn’t pay his protection money. You have to have obedience; otherwise, the idea can spread that you don’t have to listen to the orders, and it can spread to important places.
629
I consider abortion to be a deeply personal and intimate issue for women and I don’t believe male legislators should even vote on the issue.
630
I can’t even explain how blessed I am and how fortunate that I have such a great team that believes in me.
631
The moment one gives close attention to any thing, even a blade of grass it becomes a mysterious, awesome, indescribably magnificent world in itself.
632
It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.
633
634
Beauty is indeed a good gift of God; but that the good may not think it a great good, God dispenses it even to the wicked.
635
636
Even if the last move did not succeed, the inner command says move again.
637
Throughout my career, I learned plenty about war on the battlefield, but I learned even more about the importance of finding peace. And that is what the State Department and U.S.A.I.D. do: prevent the wars that we can avoid so that we fight only the ones we must.
638
639
My parents were divorced by the time I was even conscious – like, I don’t remember them ever being together.
640
641
642
643
644
645
Daring to set boundaries is about having the courage to love ourselves, even when we risk disappointing others.
646
647
Everyone loves to fly, and flying underwater is even better than flying in air because there are things around you.
648
649
It only serves to show what sort of person a man must be who can’t even get testimonials. No, no; if a man brings references, it proves nothing; but if he can’t, it proves a great deal.
650
In all life one should comfort the afflicted, but verily, also, one should afflict the comfortable, and especially when they are comfortably, contentedly, even happily wrong.
651
652
Our minds are finite, and yet even in these circumstances of finitude we are surrounded by possibilities that are infinite, and the purpose of life is to grasp as much as we can out of that infinitude.
653
Not all moral issues have the same moral weight as abortion and euthanasia. There may be legitimate diversity of opinion even among Catholics about waging war and applying the death penalty, but not… with regard to abortion and euthanasia.
654
655
Examinations are formidable even to the best prepared, for the greatest fool may ask more than the wisest man can answer.
656
657
Even virtue is fairer when it appears in a beautiful person.
658
The man who looks for security, even in the mind, is like a man who would chop off his limbs in order to have artificial ones which will give him no pain or trouble.
659
660
I think that the United States and the Philippines have always had a good relationship with each other. We were colonized by the Americans and we have their culture and our traditions even up to this day and I think that we’re very welcoming with the Americans. And I don’t see any problem with that at all.
661
When you fail you learn from the mistakes you made and it motivates you to work even harder.
662
Government, even in its best state, is but a necessary evil; in its worst state, an intolerable one.
663
Boys will be boys. And even that wouldn’t matter if only we could prevent girls from being girls.
664
It takes an endless amount of history to make even a little tradition.
665
The nationalist not only does not disapprove of atrocities committed by his own side, but he has a remarkable capacity for not even hearing about them.
666
Always be sincere, even if you don’t mean it.
667
668
I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees Christmas trees. I don’t feel threatened. I don’t feel discriminated against.
669
Countries such as the U.S. and Britain have taken it upon themselves to decide for us in the developing world, even to interfere in our domestic affairs and to bring about what they call regime change.
670
If you are possessed by an idea, you find it expressed everywhere, you even smell it.
671
