All of the great social justice advances that we ever had in this country have come not from people with big titles and not from people at the top, but just from everyday people getting together saying ‘Enough is enough. I’m going to change this, and I’m going to get involved, and I am going to be engaged.’

Being involved in sports and having a very sport orientated family just helped the transition extremely well. I guess, in a way, your school colleagues saw you out and about, and you were part of the team you were getting into the Australian way, learning the language. The transition was extremely smooth.
22

All my friends started getting boyfriends, but I didn’t want a boyfriend, I wanted a thirteen-colour biro.
31
What’s important at the grocery store is just as important in engines or medical systems. If the customer isn’t satisfied, if the stuff is getting stale, if the shelf isn’t right, or if the offerings aren’t right, it’s the same thing. You manage it like a small organization. You don’t get hung up on zeros.
32
It is easy to sit up and take notice, What is difficult is getting up and taking action.

45
My delivery can be intense, but it’s intense because I need to be heard. I know that people don’t usually listen, as it relates to constructive criticism, without getting offended. So, I speak my mind with an attitude that I don’t care if you get offended; I just want you to get the message.
46
Electronics are getting more and more accessible now – you don’t have to be an engineer to start building things.
47
I know I can’t plan in this business, but I’m going to keep going as long as I keep getting close… So far, I feel lucky and infinitely grateful for the successes that I’ve had. I’m just going to keep working hard, and whatever happens, happens.
48
49
Getting organized in the normal routines of life and finishing little projects you’ve started is an important first step toward realizing larger goals. If you can’t get a handle on the small things, how will you ever get it together to focus on the big things?

51
52
Our responsibility in life is not to lie around and wait for things to happen. Our responsibility in life is to work. Life is getting out and getting things done. When people say they’re over-the-hill at age 50, I don’t understand it.

Awards can give you a tremendous amount of encouragement to keep getting better, no matter how young or old you are.

64
65

66
67
The good news, though, is that I find in my political travels that people, as regular citizens, are more interested than ever in getting together and having discussions. They want to hear about other viewpoints that differ entirely from what the administration is putting out.

71
With the advent of cell phones, especially with the very small microphone that attach to the cell phone itself, it’s getting harder and harder I find, to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone.
72
73
74
True contentment is a thing as active as agriculture. It is the power of getting out of any situation all that there is in it. It is arduous and it is rare.
75
76
There is so much potential out there in young people and they aren’t getting the right information or being encouraged in the right ways. This is our duty as a society.
77
People had lost trust in governance. Getting back that trust, instilling a sense of hope and belief that good governance and development would be back on track, is my biggest achievement.
78
Because we’re in a small town and somewhat isolated from the fast lane of high tech, we’ve been able to grow and concentrate on our work instead of being distracted by the competition and getting caught up in the soap opera of Silicon Valley.
79
My reasons for getting into the entertainment business weren’t entirely selfless. Hollywood as an industry can at times be insular and doesn’t understand the market very well. I saw an opportunity in that fact.
80
81
Wellness is associated with happiness. When you’re happy, you’re feeling good in your mind and body. That ties into being healthy, eating well, and exercising regularly. It also ties into being excited about things – like getting up in the morning and having a healthy breakfast.
82
83
84
I love getting amazing jackets, because you can wear your pajamas underneath and everyone‘s like, ‘Oh, fabulous jacket,’ and I’m like, ‘You should see what’s underneath!’
85

Getting divorced didn’t sour me on the institution of marriage. I’ll tell you what I’ll never do: I’ll never get divorced again.
87

Gymnastics, for me, gave me a lot of self-pride: that drive to want to be great at something for myself. But it also gave me a sense of appreciation toward God. Now that I’m getting older, I really appreciate the talents God gave me. Not just physically, but mentally and emotionally.
95
96
97
I can get a good doctor in a minute and a half. Getting a really good electrician – that’s hard.
98
99
There’s nothing I believe in more strongly than getting young people interested in science and engineering, for a better tomorrow, for all humankind.
100
101
Happiness is understanding that friendship is more precious than mere things, more precious than getting your own way, more precious than being in situations where true principles are not at stake.
102
103
I’m seeing too much power being concentrated in the executive branch, and so our system of government is really in jeopardy, and more importantly, the overwhelming issue that we’ve had for a long time is money in politics. I see that problem getting worse.

Almost everything worthwhile carries with it some sort of risk, whether it’s starting a new business, whether it’s leaving home, whether it’s getting married, or whether it’s flying in space.

I had a great job, living a great lifestyle… and just started doing the wrong things, getting a little bit cocky.

After the scarlet fever and the whooping cough, I remember I started to get mad about it all… I went through the stage of asking myself, ‘Wilma, what is this existence all about? Is it about being sick all the time? It can’t be.’ So I started getting angry about things, fighting back in a new way with a vengeance.
133
What I wanted was for everyone listening to understand that these things mattered – not necessarily for me, but in this particular forum they mattered in terms of whether of not we were getting a person who should sit on the Supreme Court.
134
135
I feel I am lucky. I am grateful for this life that God has given me. I am happy, as I am getting to do work that I want to do and enjoy doing it.

138
Getting out of bed in the morning is an act of false confidence.
139
It’s really easy to have a nice philosophy about openness, but moving the world in that direction is a different thing. It requires both understanding where you want to go and being pragmatic about getting there.
140
141
142
You don’t enter politics when you come to parliament. I was getting politics for breakfast, dinner and tea when I was a little kid.
143
My old life – no amount of getting used to it would have made it right.
144
You can’t help getting older, but you can help yourself from becoming old and infirm, in mind as well as body.
145
Appallingly, I hadn’t thought about it one jot. I never daydreamed as a little girl of getting married and having children. I was as surprised to discover I was getting married as I was to discover I was up the duff.
146
147
It used to be 65 when you went into retirement. Before that, when you got into your 50s, you were getting older.

Men for the sake of getting a living forget to live.
149

152
153
154
If you’re broke, you don’t want to rap about being broke; you gonna rap about hustling and getting that bread.
155
156
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.
157
158
159
160
161
Getting divorced just because you don’t love a man is almost as silly as getting married just because you do.
162
163
For a lot of folks who get sober, the process of getting and staying sober becomes their higher power, and it becomes a religion that sort of consumes a whole lot of them. I just don’t think that that’s necessary. I think that that can be a side note rather than the story of your life.
164
Rockets are cool. There’s no getting around that.
165
166
I went to art school in Chicago for a year at Columbia College. I had this whole master plan of getting into sustainable development and green architecture and construction, so I wanted to go to business school and then get my masters in construction and development.
167
Your ideas and the things that you do are dumb and stupid and make no sense – until you start getting recognized and making money. Then you’re a genius.
168
169
I’m a big believer in evolution, growth, and in being the best you that you can be, and I feel like the first step to doing that is getting mentally healthy.
170
I was like other teenagers in the late 1960s; I too was very interested in having an Afro and getting rid of the perm that was in my hair.
171
172
The great fun in my life has been getting up every morning and rushing to the typewriter because some new idea has hit me.
173
Mistakes and pressure are inevitable; the secret to getting past them is to stay calm.
174
175
I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.
176
177
I don’t mind getting my hands dirty, and I don’t mind getting to the truth of a situation and saying, ‘You’re right, you’re wrong, next case.’
178
Getting to play with your friends and trash talk. That’s some of the best parts of gaming for me. It’s like having recess in elementary school.
179
180
181
182
If you’re in P10 and you’re getting caught from behind from P11 or the other way round… there’s that one point to gain… and there’s not really a lot to lose.
183
What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I’m happy.
184
Life, is not a having and a getting, but a being and a becoming.
185
I stress out so much about the red carpet and interviews and pictures, and, you know, not getting my skirt tucked in my knickers.
186
The DJ still has the relationship with the people, I believe. I don’t know to call the DJ ‘the ambassadors’ or what, but we still are connecting the dots, getting the good stuff and passing it on to the people. DJs still have relevance, even with the technology that elevates the DJ beyond being a selector.
187
‘Back To Love‘ is a way of letting people know that sometimes you get caught up in trying to be successful in school or in your social life, and it’s a reminder not to forget that each day people are getting older. Nobody is promised tomorrow, so we should make sure that we spend quality time with quality people.
188
Once you achieve one goal, you should be looking forward to trying to build onto the next thing, and not just getting comfortable with what you’re doing.
189
190
Whatever the device you use for getting your information out, it should be the same information.
191
192
Global warming is a fact. Now it’s up to liberals to make it a reality. Hence there is crucial importance in preventing powerful, greedy free market forces from getting in the way of worsening storms and rising sea levels. The Kyoto Accord is a good first step.
193
Trust me, if I were gay I’d be getting more action than I’m getting now.
194
195
I’m just cruising, doing me, having a good time and focusing on getting better.
196
197
You learn that you either are going to have a police state where you don’t have any freedom left, or you’re going to build a world that doesn’t create terrorists – and that means a whole different way of ‘getting along.’
198
199
200
201
The first step towards getting somewhere is to decide that you are not going to stay where you are.
202
We had a lot of difficulty in getting the French to accept the pyramid. They thought we were trying to import a piece of Egypt until I pointed out that their obelisk was also from Egypt and the Place des Pyramides is around the corner. Then they accepted it. The pyramid at the Louvre, though, is just the tip.
203
204
205
206
While I was trying to save money to go to the National Institute of Dramatic Art in Australia I ended up getting all of this experience which meant that by the time I had enough money in the bank to go to school I didn’t really need to go to school anymore.
207
208
I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion‘s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.
209
Consciousness is an end in itself. We torture ourselves getting somewhere, and when we get there it is nowhere, for there is nowhere to get to.
210
We don’t teach kids how to think anymore. We’re getting rid of the classics – high school is all about self-esteem.
211
Happiness isn’t getting what you want, it’s wanting what you got.
212
213
214
When you’re growing up, you play dress-up – it’s a game, it’s a pastime. And then as you get older, getting ready and looking nice becomes this constant stress. I want to make it fun again.
215
216
217
The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country.
218
219
You want to keep getting better every day.
220
We have food deserts in our cities. We know that the distance you live from a supplier of fresh produce is one of the best predictors of your health. And in the inner city, people don’t have grocery stores. So we have to figure out a way of getting supermarkets and farmers markets into the inner cities.
221
222
I worked with a skateboarding instructor for three hours every day. We would go to the park and do ramps. I had to wear a ridiculous amount of gear – elbow pads, knee pads, every kind of pad, plus a helmet – to stop myself from getting hurt.
223
224
If it is something particularly useful and for some reason is having trouble getting funding from traditional sources, I may be interested.
225
Everyone finds their little ways of getting past bad moments and everyone has them, it’s football. We get the good moments and we get stick. You can start overthinking, it’s human, everyone does it.
226
227
God’s not complicated – He’s really not. And He helps people in their everyday life so that they can get better in relationships, in their job situations, in getting through grief.
228
Maybe it’s stress or anger or adrenaline or disillusionment or a bullying nature or simple fear of getting killed themselves, but there is a problem if a cop cannot tell the difference between a menacing gangster and the far more common person they encounter whose life is a little frayed and messy.
229
Racists seem obsessed by the idea that illegal workers – the hardest-working, poorest people in America – are somehow getting away with something, sneaking goodies that should be for Americans. You can always avoid this problem by having no social services. This is the refreshing Texas model, and it works a treat.
230
I just think my children and your children would be much better off and much more successful getting married and raising a family, and I don’t want them brainwashed into thinking that homosexuality is an equally valid and successful option – it isn’t.
231
ACT and SAT each have their own parts of the country. The GRE has its lock on graduate admissions. And so, one could blame the companies, but really, economically, they have no incentive to change things very much because they’re getting the business.
232
I realized early on that I was pretty good at organizing. A lot of it was about control. While my friends were out getting hammered at concerts, I was making money. I am a control freak.
233
You can be watching the greatest film in the world, and if you hear your neighbor getting into a fight, you’re at the window.
234
Getting old is a fascination thing. The older you get, the older you want to get.
235
236
Instead of getting married again, I’m going to find a woman I don’t like and give her a house.
237
I like getting married, but I don’t like being married.
238
We must make sure that there is recess and P.E. class in every school, getting kids outside for 60 minutes, every day.
239
Be careful what you wish for – getting to be a successful business and maintaining it is so hard. Anyone can be good one night; being good over several years is incredibly difficult.
240
241
242
I feel fine about getting older because I’m in good shape. I’m 64 and I feel good.
243
If you’re a reporter, the easiest thing in the world is to get a story. The hardest thing is to verify. The old sins were about getting something wrong, that was a cardinal sin. The new sin is to be boring.
244
245
Right is right, and wrong is wrong, and when people start getting it confused, that means they need to sit down with some real people.
246
I like the idea of the documentary as a portrait. There’s not a chronological beginning, middle, and end structure. You build something in the editing room that’s shaped by getting to know the person and digging deeper, unpeeling the layers of them as you get to know them.
247
248
If you start by promising what you don’t even have yet, you’ll lose your desire to work towards getting it.
249
I simply adore getting dressed up for a special occasion. I feel incredible stepping out in luxurious fabrics and a bit of bling. That’s also how I feel about special-occasion dining rooms. Because these aren’t everyday spaces, they contain all sorts of drama for that once-in-a-while ‘wow‘ event.
250
When I am getting ready to reason with a man, I spend one-third of my time thinking about myself and what I am going to say and two-thirds about him and what he is going to say.
251
I love getting to have different food and getting to be around different people and different cultures and different ways people look at life. It’s really kind of helped me open up my mind and see the world from different perspectives.
252
Getting sober was one of the three pivotal events in my life, along with becoming an actor and having a child. Of the three, finding my sobriety was the hardest thing.
253
One way to define spiritual life is getting so tired and fed up with yourself you go on to something better, which is following Jesus.
254
Technology is changing so fast that investment in hardware is getting riskier everyday. On the other hand, whether it is traditional computers or smart gadgets which are part of the convergence technologies of the future, some planning of hardware needs is still important.
255
If your concentration is getting bad, take up bass fishing. It will really improve your ability to focus. If you aren’t ready when that fish hits, you can’t set the hook.
256
257
When I travel too much, it affects the music, and that is the most important thing. As long as I make good music, I can play shows, but if the music starts getting bad, the show offers won’t come.
258
Successful negotiation is not about getting to ‘yes‘; it’s about mastering ‘no’ and understanding what the path to an agreement is.
259
Remember that the happiest people are not those getting more, but those giving more.
260
261
262
People often remark that I’m pretty lucky. Luck is only important in so far as getting the chance to sell yourself at the right moment. After that, you’ve got to have talent and know how to use it.
263
What people tend to forget is the journey that I had getting to Formula One. There were plenty of years where I had to learn about losing and having bad races.
264
There’s something about the rhythm of walking, how, after about an hour and a half, the mind and body can’t help getting in sync.
265
One of the pluses of getting older is you set some limits.
266
Patience is key for getting over a breakup. That, and trailing off your interaction after the breakup.
267
268
In liberal logic, if life is unfair then the answer is to turn more tax money over to politicians, to spend in ways that will increase their chances of getting reelected.
269
I don’t know if this is because I’m a bit too old, but it is true that I’m getting insensible about romance recently. I’m very used to being alone now, and I don’t think that’s not half bad.
270
I’m actually not a particularly negative person, but I feel like most things are better when they’re not actualized. The motivation that comes from wanting something is so much more driving of people than actually getting it.
271
However, don’t let perfectionism become an excuse for never getting started.
272
Just getting a degree is not enough, and you need to sell your ideas.
273
I’ll put it out there: I love getting hugs.
274
275
276
277
278
279
280
I maybe had a first love and had my heart broken, but reflecting on it, I don’t think that was love. I think as I’m getting older and having more in-depth relationships, maybe I’ll experience it. At the moment, I don’t know, exactly, if I’ve been in love.
281
I want to enjoy not getting recognised while it lasts. But the mask is a symbol of unity. Anyone can be a Walker.
282
283
284
Born again?! No, I’m not. Excuse me for getting it right the first time.
285
The Village Voice gave me an outlet. They encouraged writers to publish idiosyncratic, intellectually ambitious journalism in voices that ranged from demonic to highfalutin. And they paid me well once the magazine was unionized. Getting paid is motivational.
286
287
Look around at things that just aren’t getting done. Maybe there’s a project you could tackle. Maybe there’s an issue that always gets back-burnered for other priorities. Challenge yourself to take on those difficult assignments. They’re learning opportunities, and you have a chance to change something for the better.
288
289
Getting rid of a delusion makes us wiser than getting hold of a truth.
290
291
I think the people in this country have had enough of experts with organisations from acronyms saying that they know what is best and getting it consistently wrong.
292
293
Human life is far more important than just getting to the top of a mountain.
294
295
There’s a lot of luck involved in getting married to the right woman.
296
And if there’s any hope for America, it lies in a revolution, and if there’s any hope for a revolution in America, it lies in getting Elvis Presley to become Che Guevara.
297
I’m experiencing a lot of new things in life – cars, houses, jewelry – and getting the family situated. I’ve been dealing with fake friends, though, like a lot of people trying to come around. There are pros and cons to this fame thing.
298
It’s a really scary thing, having your dreams come true and seeing everything you ever wanted happening, getting the attention for it and then not knowing how to handle it properly.
299
Some luck lies in not getting what you thought you wanted but getting what you have, which once you have got it you may be smart enough to see is what you would have wanted had you known.
300
Throughout my work with family and child support organizations, one thing that has stood out to me time and again is that getting early support for a child who is struggling to cope is the best possible thing we can do to help our children as they grow up.
301
Zumba is a great dance-cardio option that’s an immersive experience for participants and is not only effective but allows you to express yourself while getting in shape.
302
Life is one long process of getting tired.
303
I try to be home for dinner, but I’m not there enough. I sometimes feel I’m still fumbling, getting it wrong, but I make my way.
304
I love tattoos. And mine symbolise who I really am. I have a Samurai on my left arm. At a subconscious level, I connect to this warrior and model myself on his discipline, skills and honour. There is also a tribal tattoo and a Chinese symbol of faith. I have seen a lot of people getting tattoos just because it’s a trend.
305
In Louisiana, you can drive when you’re 15 – you could get your driving permit. I remember, during driver’s ed, I fell asleep at the wheel one day. I was tired. The guy shook me and switched and said he was getting into the driver’s seat. I didn’t fail, so I guess you can fall asleep occasionally. It’s Louisiana.
306
I did go to an MFA program, at Bowling Green State University in Ohio. For me, it worked perfectly. It was a small program. They only take five fiction writers a year, and they fund all of us – you don’t go into debt to get an MFA. It’s not like getting an MBA – you’re not going to buy yourself out.
307
308
They say that pace is the first thing to go, but my game was never based on pace. It was about strength and power and withstanding challenges and getting in the right position.
309
If you’re not getting older, you’re dead.
310
311
Life is about growing and improving and getting better.

Just getting older, you stop caring what other people think, but also, you know who you are, and you know what you want.
316
317
Success doesn’t motivate me as much as integrity does. Everyone loses. I enjoy the pressure of showing up every single day, being focused, putting forth my best effort, getting the best out of my teammates, and enjoying the journey.
318
319
The next phase of the journey is to move from speculation to actual use cases – people getting into Bitcoin because they want to use it.
320
321
If you don’t believe in yourself, then who will believe in you? The next man’s way of getting there might not necessarily work for me, so I have to create my own ways of getting there.
322
323
These times are so hard, and they’re getting even harder.
324
You don’t concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.
325
326
327
Twenty is a tough age because it slips past in the middle of so much else – university, gap year, leaving home, getting jobs.
328
329
330
Top European clubs are always progressing with what they can do off the field. Training is getting more scientific, and we are constantly getting more educated on nutrition.
331
The great thing about getting older is that you don’t lose all the other ages you’ve been.
332
You can’t stop getting older; you just have to keep going and laugh a lot.
333
334
Life has been kind to me. I am happy with the love and appreciation that I have been getting throughout my career. I feel blessed.
335
There are some real memorable highlights in my history that, in my mind, are such milestones. Winning a national championship in college and being on the Olympic platform getting a gold medal. Visiting the Hall of Fame and going into the Hall of Fame.
336
If you were a new guy at ILM, they put you on the night crew – my shift was from 7 P.M. to about 5 A.M. In my free time, I was working on an idea with my older brother, a software engineer getting his doctorate at the University of Michigan. Ultimately, it developed into Photoshop.
337
The best way to learn is by doing. The only way to build a strong work ethic is getting your hands dirty.
338
A big barrier to people getting help with online harassment is the general attitude either that it’s not a real issue – that it’s ‘only’ online – or that it’s limited to someone saying they don’t like you, and all of that stems from a basic misunderstanding of what we mean when we say ‘online harassment.’
339
If I don’t feel confident about my body, I’m not going to sit at home and feel sorry for myself and not do something about it. It’s all about taking action and not being lazy. So you do the work, whether it’s fitness or whatever. It’s about getting up, motivating yourself and just doing it.
340
341
You can’t help getting older, but you don’t have to get old.
342
343
We are tired out in making complaints and getting no redress.
344
I have discovered in life that there are ways of getting almost anywhere you want to go, if you really want to go.
345
Reinforcement learning is the idea of being able to assign credit or blame to all the actions you took along the way while you were getting that reward signal.
346
347
One nice thing about the benefit of long experience with la frontera is that we in Texas don’t have to run around getting all hysterical about immigrants. The border is porous. When you want cheap labor, you open it up; when you don’t, you shut it down. It works to our benefit – it always has.
348
I was at a bar nursing a beer. My nipple was getting quite soggy.
349
350
The first thing I learned in boxing is to not get hit. That’s the art of boxing. Execute your opponent without getting hit. In sports school, we were putting our hands behind our backs and having to defend ourselves with our shoulders, by rolling, by moving round the ring, moving out feet.
351
352
353
I actually think there’s an incredible amount of self-knowledge that comes with getting older.
354
355
356
Right out of high school I never had the fear of getting beat, which is how most people lose.
357
358
359
Every day, in every way, I’m getting better and better.
360
361
If you think of human experience as a pie, then the wedge Hollywood is reflecting now is getting smaller and smaller.
362
And I always say, when Southern people get on the dance floor, they ain’t getting off.
363
364
There is no happiness in having or in getting, but only in giving.
365
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.
366
I’ll keep getting better and better.
367
368
Who would have ever thought that, within a couple months of getting into the WWE, that I’d be wrestling in the main event for the world championship? Then, nine months after getting here, actually being the world champion.
369
370
I think I’m decisive, and I like to get things done quickly. So if that comes across as intimidation, I’m sorry to hear it. But it’s more in the interest of getting things done.
371
While there is a chance of the world getting through its troubles, I hold that a reasonable man has to behave as though he were sure of it. If at the end your cheerfulness in not justified, at any rate you will have been cheerful.
372
I think that’s what makes life interesting – the evolution of getting older, and it’s kinda fascinating to me, the whole process.
373
I had no idea that I was ever getting into music. I did not prepare for a music career, and here I’ve found, out of pure luck, that I did have, not only a talent and an ear, but a passion for music. And I have it to this day.
374
Sure, we’ve had our fair share of ups and downs, but I don’t know if we’ve had more than any other rock band… we just have a way of getting ourselves into hot water.
375
The 50-50-90 rule: Anytime you have a 50-50 chance of getting something right, there’s a 90% probability you’ll get it wrong.
376
Without the persistence of voters in America getting up to every election, democracy will not flourish.
377
Cold calling is about developing social skills and getting used to rejection. We are constantly selling something to somebody.
378
379
When your friends begin to flatter you on how young you look, it’s a sure sign you’re getting old.
380
What matters is getting the best out of the squad you have.
381
Obviously, when you’re getting games, you’re getting confidence as well.
382
I have great childhood memories cow-tipping, going off and getting lost in the bog for hours, and coming home covered in dirt.
383
The best thing about getting older is knowing history. The longer you live, the longer you have been in a sport, the more you know, and the more you know where things started.
384
385
The bad part about growing older is I’m going bald. The good part is my nose seems to be getting shorter.
386
Besides the noble art of getting things done, there is the noble art of leaving things undone. The wisdom of life consists in the elimination of non-essentials.
387
Working against a restriction – for me – often produces greater things than getting rid of all boundaries.
388
For myself, losing is not coming second. It’s getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I’ve been in.
389
Getting information off the Internet is like taking a drink from a fire hydrant.
390
I’m changing every day as far as this rap thing. I’m learning new things. I’m getting bigger by the day.
391
392
Having emotional intelligence allows you to manage your emotions, show empathy, and prevent you from getting distracted. It also helps you solve problems and be a more likable person.
393
Leadership is the art of getting someone else to do something you want done because he wants to do it.
394
I love being outside and getting fresh air.
395
396
397
398
399
After getting out of the service and going into baseball I never wanted to do anything else.
400
What is the most common investor mistake? Trading – getting in and getting out at all the wrong times, for all the wrong reasons.
401
402
403
It was a fun ride. I’ve enjoyed my time on the ice and I’ve enjoyed more and more people getting interested in the game of hockey.
404
Leadership is not about a title or a designation. It’s about impact, influence and inspiration. Impact involves getting results, influence is about spreading the passion you have for your work, and you have to inspire team-mates and customers.
405
If all my bridge coach ever told me was that I was ‘satisfactory,’ I would have no hope of ever getting better. How would I know who was the best? How would I know what I was doing differently?
406
It is no good getting furious if you get stuck. What I do is keep thinking about the problem but work on something else. Sometimes it is years before I see the way forward. In the case of information loss and black holes, it was 29 years.
407
Trading is very competitive and you have to be able to handle getting your butt kicked.
408
I’m very stodgy. I’m always looking at old photos of California and Los Angeles, knowing that what I’m looking at is now full of houses. There used to be vacant lots in Los Angeles, now all taken up by three-storey boxes – it’s all getting infilled.
409
410
411
412
I wore black until I was twenty-five, like many young people. Everybody did. It was crazy! But now, getting older, I think color does me good.
413
414
Getting ahead in a difficult profession requires avid faith in yourself. That is why some people with mediocre talent, but with great inner drive, go so much further than people with vastly superior talent.
415
416
I’m kind of comfortable with getting older because it’s better than the other option, which is being dead. So I’ll take getting older.
417
Negotiation means getting the best of your opponent.
418
Many of us are tethered to bodies that sabotage us in our struggle to keep from getting fat, or to slim down when we do.
419
We are always getting ready to live but never living.
420
There is no more fatal blunderer than he who consumes the greater part of his life getting his living.
421
I don’t know if it’s just me getting older or if it’s a reflection of times changing, but it just seems to me like among most of my friends and peers, there’s a lot more time being spent at home than out.
422
Christmas is the spirit of giving without a thought of getting. It is happiness because we see joy in people. It is forgetting self and finding time for others. It is discarding the meaningless and stressing the true values.
423
424
One thing we have lost, that we had in the past, is a sense of progress, that things are getting better. There is a sense of volatility, but not of progress.
425
426
Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don’t. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life.
427
Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.
428
429
430
If you play against a Peyton Manning, that’s a great quarterback, but I’d rather have that quarterback that stays still. You have a better chance of getting to him. The mobile quarterbacks, they do a lot of different stuff.
431
432
Trajectories aren’t linear. Life’s just a roller coaster. If you’re getting a chance to do cool stuff, and it’s varied stuff, just enjoy it. I guess I’m a believer in the randomness of life rather than it being a linear trajectory or an arc, a consistent smooth arc, towards anything.
433
434
You get better at working by working. And if you don’t work, you’re not getting better.
435
I work really hard at trying to see the big picture and not getting stuck in ego. I believe we’re all put on this planet for a purpose, and we all have a different purpose… When you connect with that love and that compassion, that’s when everything unfolds.
436
The idea of getting old is horrific, but I don’t want to make it worse by becoming a grotesque caricature. A lot of people have made that mistake of trying so hard to hang on to their looks that they make themselves look really scary.
437
Abortion and racism are both symptoms of a fundamental human error. The error is thinking that when someone stands in the way of our wants, we can justify getting that person out of our lives. Abortion and racism stem from the same poisonous root, selfishness.
438
439
Sometimes getting something off your chest to someone else is an important step in coping – so you know that you’re not alone, you’re not failing, and that it is perfectly normal to feel overwhelmed or sad at times. Everybody does.
440
I didn’t see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
441
Leadership is getting someone to do what they don’t want to do, to achieve what they want to achieve.
442
Statesmanship is harder than politics. Politics is the art of getting along with people, whereas statesmanship is the art of getting along with politicians.
443
444
I get a lot of the ideas when I’m resting – either when I’m meditating or getting some kind of work done on my back, like physical therapy or acupuncture. That’s where I get my best ideas, maybe because I’m balancing my body.
445
446
447
Does being practical mean we prop up a legal system that’s unfair, that bears its weight down on black men and black women, and by extension if you are Hispanic or indigenous or poor? Does being practical mean you don’t say to the American people you deserve better than you’re getting? That’s not the practical we want.
448
The world is getting to be such a dangerous place, a man is lucky to get out of it alive.
449
Getting all of the nutrients you need simply cannot be done without supplements.
450
Deism is the belief that nature and God are one and the same thing. If you study nature, you’re getting insights about God.
451
A trap in dealing with difficult people is getting wrapped up in their personality. When we can stay objective and remove ourselves from other people’s roller-coaster psychology, we have a much better chance of moving through the situation positively.
452
I was upset about getting $40 haircuts, like, every month. That’s a lot of money, and so, man, that’s a lot of food. That’s a waste. No more. So I’m, like, letting it go so I have more food. My budget‘s good for food now.
453
My greatest trouble is getting the curtain up and down.
454
I remember, when I was a young guy in the SEAL teams, I was very afraid of making mistakes and looking stupid or doing dumb things and getting a bad reputation.
455
I knew my ways were unfulfilling. I chased power, pleasure, possessions, something satisfying. I knew I kept getting let down. I knew it was insanity, and I was never going to find fulfillment, but I didn’t know what else to look for.
456
The two words ‘information’ and ‘communication’ are often used interchangeably, but they signify quite different things. Information is giving out; communication is getting through.
457
458
Being in a successful marriage is no different than being cast in a successful movie. It’s all about who you pick; in that first moment, did you pick the right person? I think you need to pick somebody who’s more interested in being married than in getting married.
459
That was my way of getting through difficult times of low confidence – hard work.
460
461
462
Getting the care for a common cold, migraine, or high blood pressure can and should be easy, whether one has an insurance card or not.
463
If you are not emotionally involved, your client is not getting your best effort.
464
Life is about falling down, getting up, and moving ahead.
465
When I was younger, I wanted to be tall and skinny. And because I wasn’t, I was disappointed. The great thing about getting older is that I’ve come to accept my shape – and embrace it.
466
America is not just a country, it’s an idea, and real Americans are getting busy.
467
One night in 1974, I made the comment, ‘Here I am, this fat kid, the son of a plumber. I don’t look like a body builder; fist fight in a parking lot, it doesn’t matter. I’m getting ready to sell out this building. I’m going to sell out Madison Square Garden one day. This is the American Dream. I’m living it.’
468
Every day I’m getting shaped and molded. Keepin’ on, being a better artist, and improving on this, improving on that. The more I’m in it, the more I’m practicing and the more I’m advancing.
469
Madeleine Albright, when you see her, she’s not a beautiful woman and she’s getting older. But you’re saying that woman has gravitas. She knows what she’s talking about.
470
471
472
I hope everybody enjoys our input on ‘Black Water’ – it sure was a lot of fun getting to record it.
473
One of the nice things about getting older is that you come to understand that you can integrate multiple aspects of your life together. When you’re young, you think everything has to be binary, as that’s exactly how you feel at that age.
474
475
I really didn’t feel challenged anymore. I wanted to learn something and be excited again… While it can be a family – that environment is actually a family – in the sense that also you sometimes hate each other, you can’t stand being around each other and grudges are held… I was getting cranky on ‘Criminal Minds.’
476
477
I am not getting any younger and am taking a new approach to life.
478
The Wire‘ was from a police perspective – in terms of the streets and that, it was probably like, thirty per cent. ‘Top Boy’ is really from the perspective of the quote-unquote criminal. It’s getting into the mind of these people and why they do what they do. It’s bigger than just ‘Woke up and wanted to be bad one day.’
479
480
It is not knowledge, but the act of learning, not possession but the act of getting there, which grants the greatest enjoyment.
481
I was looking to become more proactive with my career because I wasn’t crazy with some of the scripts I was getting – this was before Blow and Hannibal – so I decided to start my own production company.
482
I’m just excited to see myself on billboards. I’m getting ready to be a star.
483
I don’t really have a choice. I’m getting older.
484
485
The indispensable first step to getting the things you want out of life is this: decide what you want.
486
I got the idea for ‘Throne of Glass’ when I was sixteen. Music always inspires my books, and when I was listening to the ‘Cinderella‘ soundtrack, I thought, ‘What if Cinderella was actually an assassin who liked getting dressed up all pretty and going to the ball, but then she wouldn’t mind kicking butt?’
487
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
488
For the rich, it’s not about getting more stuff. It’s about having the freedom to make almost any decision you want.
489
Kendrick Lamar is 10-times the rapper I am, but I just feel I’m the best at getting my own point across.
490
491
492
I’m not getting any younger. You’re not getting any younger, so yeah. You age.
493
The big biography of Lincoln necessarily had to do so much with his political career, his ambitions, his accomplishments in public, with less time to spend on his private life, his inner life, and I thought this might be a way of getting at that.
494
Getting up and having the courage to share with people, all people, and even just being asked to sing, first of all, that’s all part of how I express my identity.
495
I have a hard time getting past the day without the nap, so the nap is a must.
496
497
498
499
I’ve got to be honest and say that, growing up, I wasn’t a big sports guy, but I love the camaraderie. I just love people getting together, fighting for a team and getting super-emotional about it.
500
No man for any considerable period can wear one face to himself and another to the multitude, without finally getting bewildered as to which may be the true.
501
By the time we get to the 2040s, we’ll be able to multiply human intelligence a billionfold. That will be a profound change that’s singular in nature. Computers are going to keep getting smaller and smaller. Ultimately, they will go inside our bodies and brains and make us healthier, make us smarter.
502
503
I’m sounding like Oprah, but if you’re not practicing contentment where you are now, you’re not getting contentment when you get what you want.
504
Getting the best out of your best players gets the best out of the team.
505
I like getting fresh air.
506
507
508
‘The Walking Dead’ and ‘Guardians of the Galaxy‘ have pumped up the recognition factor a thousand times. I can’t get off an airplane anymore. I don’t know how the hell they know and how these people find out. They must have some interesting, secret way of getting a hold of the flight manifesto or something.
509
I see women in their 30s getting plastic surgery, pulling this up and tucking that back. It’s like a slippery slope – once you start you pull one thing one way and then you think, ‘Oh my God, I’ve got to do the other side.’
510
511
Once an economy reaches a certain level of acceleration… the Fed is no longer with you… The Fed, instead of trying to get the economy moving, reverts to acting like the central bankers they are and starts worrying about inflation and things getting too hot.
512
I always saw my role as getting LGBT to support the immigrant rights movement – which they did – and getting Latino organizations to support the women’s movement, for reproductive rights. So that’s kind of the work that I’ve always been doing.
513
I need to celebrate life because I’m in a good spot, I work hard, and I am happy with who I am and happy with what I do for a living, and sometimes I just focus and overwhelm myself so much with the fights and getting better, that I just need to slow it down and enjoy life and enjoy training.
514
Whenever I’m stressed out or having a bad day, the one thing that gets me happy or back into like a good place of mind is being on the golf course. I love being out there, especially really early in the morning getting the first tee time out and just playing by myself. It’s so peaceful.
515
What’s it like finding out Denzel Washington wants you to direct his next movie? It’s like getting a phone call from Muhammad Ali or Michael Jordan saying they want you to coach them.
516
Turnaround or growth, it’s getting your people focused on the goal that is still the job of leadership.
517
I never liked Hans Christian Andersen because I knew he was always getting at me.
518
I’ve got to admit it’s getting better. It’s a little better all the time.
519
520
521
Challenges give me a kick. The day I stop getting challenges, I would quit.
522
Oh, I have this feud going with the L.A. Unified School District, because I keep getting these phone calls saying my daughter keeps missing classes, I mean, at all hours of the night, I had like, two calls this morning and I keep calling saying I haven’t got a daughter!
523
There was certainly, like, a rebellious, like, youthful rage in me. And there was also the fact of no getting away from fact that I am white, and you know, this is predominantly black music, you know.
524
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is wanting what you get.
525
526
If you keep proving stuff that others have done, getting confidence, increasing the complexities of your solutions – for the fun of it – then one day you’ll turn around and discover that nobody actually did that one!
527
528
It’s not a prerequisite for an actor to be obsessed about his looks. I know there are people who don’t look in the mirror at all, and I’m getting there.
529
530
There are few ways in which a man can be more innocently employed than in getting money.
531
A man can be short and dumpy and getting bald but if he has fire, women will like him.
532
533
The Iowa Women’s Health Study, which has followed more than 35,000 women for decades, found eating more broccoli, cauliflower, kale and other cruciferous vegetables was associated with a lower risk of getting non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma in the first place.
534
You’ve got to eat while you dream. You’ve got to deliver on short-range commitments, while you develop a long-range strategy and vision and implement it. The success of doing both. Walking and chewing gum if you will. Getting it done in the short-range, and delivering a long-range plan, and executing on that.
535
536
Feminism has never been about getting a job for one woman. It’s about making life more fair for women everywhere. It’s not about a piece of the existing pie; there are too many of us for that. It’s about baking a new pie.
537
538
I just want people to be affected by the music. I’m really affected by my surroundings and put everything in my music – what I’m not getting and what I desire. I want it to be uncompromised… almost a spiritual thing.
539
When you see who I am, you’re getting a real character, a real person. R-Truth, that’s me.
540
For me, making a mass film is tougher. A lot of things needed to be intertwined into a two-hour narrative without getting too complicated.
541
Coming to Australia, it was just really magical for me. It just had the wow factor of a different sort of place and, more so, just being with a family that wanted to love me and to have me, because I knew back then, before coming to Australia, there was no way of getting back home or finding my real family.
542
Gambling: The sure way of getting nothing for something.
543
544
Negotiating means getting the best of your opponent.
545
When it comes to extracurricular activities, many children are getting too much of a good thing.
546
Unemployment is capitalism‘s way of getting you to plant a garden.
547
That’s another great thing about getting older. Your life is written on your face.
548
549
I’m an evangelist for the idea of being ultrafit if you want to be the best of breed. Getting into world-class physical condition is one of the smartest moves you can make.
550
Part of what confuses people in times of upheaval is that you’re getting so many different points of view and directions and so and so, how to do this and do that. And a lot of it is written in a language that honestly most people cannot understand.
551
I love being new places and hate getting there, and have been known to say on multiple occasions that I would give anything from a piece of my soul to a limb to a portion of my life savings to teleport. Especially when bad weather keeps me off planes.
552
I have to tell you I never in my life anticipated getting this old, this fast. It seems as if I were 25 just a few days ago.
553
554
I love just getting to experience the different types of fans and getting to perform in front of thousands of people every night; that is icing on the cake for me. That is the fun.
555
Winning is not always the barometer of getting better.
556
I went to an all-girls’ Catholic school for, like, six years during the time when kids actually had handwriting class. I’ve always had a propensity for getting the cursive down pretty well.
557
I’m gonna have some nights when it’s not gonna come. But if you keep playing natural, it’s just gonna come. I’m gonna keep getting better, keep getting better, and one day, everything’s gonna pay off.
558
If you’re not getting better, you’re getting worse.
559
I was skint, and I had to move back to my mum and dad‘s house, back into the room I shared with my brother when I was a kid. I kept getting people on the streets telling me that they loved me; it didn’t mean anything to me because I was still borrowing tenners off my pensioner father to go and get some chicken.
560
My father died during open-heart surgery on March 29 of my senior year in college. I was getting set to go to law school. I remember sitting in the waiting room when the doctor walked in. I said to myself, The worst possible thing just happened. What will you do?
561
There’s nothing as exciting as a comeback – seeing someone with dreams, watching them fail, and then getting a second chance.
562
563
564
Throughout your career, whether you’re getting into the sport or have been it in for a number of years like me, there will always be obstacles. The important thing is how you deal with those obstacles and come back from any disappointment or setback, no matter how big or small.
565
566
My biggest success is getting over the things that have tried to destroy and take me out of this life. Those are my biggest successes. It has nothing to do with work.
567
Things happen for some reason. I don’t know what, but I just think about the positives, focus on getting better, and that’s it.

It’s getting harder and harder to differentiate between schizophrenics and people talking on a cell phone. It still brings me up short to walk by somebody who appears to be talking to themselves.
569
570
The world is getting more connected through technology and travel. Cuisines are evolving. Some people are scared of globalization, but I think people will always take pride in cultural heritage.
571
572
I don’t care what you label me or how many times you come for me. I am fearless, and I’m just getting started.
573
People have to realize that just because you’re a Christian, it doesn’t mean that you’re perfect, because every once in a while everyone stumbles. Living by faith is about when you do mess up, getting back up, brushing yourself off, and keep trying to improve where you mess up or where you have temptation.
574
575
Everyone loves a love story, and everyone wants to know who’s getting on with who, it’s what makes the world go round.
576
I used to get very angry as I was getting older, because my voice was breaking. So I’ve trained my voice so religiously through my teenage years, because I wanted to be able to hit the notes that those females hit. And I can, which is great.
577
Too often, these comedy guys now only care about getting on and then getting off and getting rich.
578
The world is getting so small. Young people are mobile; they want to travel around the world. When you travel around the world, you exchange culture, you want to make friends, you want to exchange things.
579
When you are not practicing, someone else is getting better.
580
Survival is not about being fearless. It’s about making a decision, getting on and doing it, because I want to see my kids again, or whatever the reason might be.
581
582
Art is going to make a bigger comeback than ever. That’s the upside to things getting challenging.
583
584
I’d hate to be a teetotaler. Imagine getting up in the morning and knowing that’s as good as you’re going to feel all day.
585
I’m definitely not getting married. In this business, you’re either getting married or they want you to be pregnant. I’m not getting married until I’m forty. If ever.
586
587
Getting and spending, we lay waste our powers.
588
I was just a goofy little funny kid, who was always getting sent to the principal. It wasn’t serious because I was smart. I wasn’t like a true troublemaker, just rambunctious – like, talkative and trying to be funny. That was me in middle-school.
589
There are no tests similar to SATs to tell us how much undergraduates know. State legislators, who appropriate billions of dollars each year to higher education, are naturally interested in finding out what they are getting for their money.
590
I’m not getting old, I’m getting dead.
591
The most audacious thing I could possibly state in this day and age is that life is worth living. It’s worth being bashed against. It’s worth getting scarred by. It’s worth pouring yourself over every one of its coals.
592
593
There are so many people getting dementia. It is like an epidemic now. It is a terrible disease because once you get it, your life changes completely.
594
595
596
597
I had a normal upbringing and went to public school. If I ever, even for a second, started getting a big head, I was brought back to reality pretty quickly. I was working full time and still had to fight for a cell phone.
598
If anybody’s getting a shot, somebody’s getting a shot against me because I’m the guy to beat.
599
You look at driving down the road, night after night, tryin’ to make a town, getting $25 – that’s hard times. It’s our duty to make it good times for the fans that pay their money to see us perform each and every night.
600
601
Success is falling nine times and getting up ten.
602
I’m looking forward to fighting Chisora, getting him out of the way, and then fighting Klitschko for all the belts, but I don’t think Wladimir is going to take the fight.
603
I like being out onstage in front of everybody, getting that energy and giving that energy. Hopefully I am making them forget about all their problems in the world. For however many hours they are at our show, hopefully they are going to have a great time, and it makes life a little more bearable for everybody involved.
604
What I tell young couples that are getting married is: you’re going to have quarrels, and on some things, you’re just going to have to agree to disagree. And when you go to bed at night, kiss each other and tell each other that you love each other. Don’t go to bed mad. Life is too short. Keep it simple.
605
We think about education as a stepping stone into a higher socio-economic class, into a better job. And it does do those things. But I don’t think that’s what it really is. I experienced it as getting access to different ideas and perspectives and using them to construct my own mind.
606
Getting people to like my music was challenging at first. It’s hard to get people to like your music. There isn’t a simple formula that automatically makes people like you.
607
Getting out of bed is like the foundation of the discipline, and I think it carries over into everything else.
608
At 25, I was in the audience of my first professional speaker, Bob Bales. His presentation got my attention. I had never seen anyone having so much fun ‘at work’ and getting paid for it!
609
Success is getting what you want. Happiness is liking what you get.
610
611
When my mother got home from work, she would take me to the movies. It was her way of getting out, and she would take me with her. I’d go home and act all the parts. It had a tremendous influence on my becoming an actor.
612
If I had my choice I would kill every reporter in the world, but I am sure we would be getting reports from Hell before breakfast.
613
Getting out to protest, this is something real and, I would say, something patriotic. Part of the new authoritarianism is to get people to prefer fiction and inaction to reality and action.
614
615
I was 17 and out of school, living with my mom, starving, not eating, getting locked up, no focus, no guidance. When you ain’t got no guidance, you can’t do too much. But then I had my first son and started working. I got the right people around me.
616
617
I think getting drunk is the key to flying comfortably. A couple of bloody marys or several glasses of champagne, and suddenly it’s like you’re on a roller coaster.
618
I have pushed the boat out as far as I should in terms of taking on too many things. I’m getting older and I just could not take it any more. I am now monitoring myself very closely and I’m just trying not to get into that sort of state again.
619
I think the most important factor in getting out of the recession actually is just the regenerative capacity of – of American capitalism.
620
Sin and forgiveness and falling and getting back up and losing the pearl of great price in the couch cushions but then finding it again, and again, and again? Those are the stumbling steps to becoming Real, the only script that’s really worth following in this world or the one that’s coming.
621
622
I’ve been offered political shows before, and I don’t know anything about politics and I feel uncomfortable making political opinions – there’s consequences to them. I often think I’m wrong, so I really don’t like getting in political or religious discussions because of the giant possibility that I might be wrong.
623
624
625
It was fun getting my feet wet on an NBA floor.
626
627
The fellow that agrees with everything you say is either a fool or he is getting ready to skin you.
628
I think what makes a woman naturally more beautiful is when she starts believing in herself and starts getting more confident because you can have the most expensive makeup, you can get a lot of services done, but if deep inside you’re still not happy and confident, that’s going to show.
629
It’s paradoxical, that the idea of living a long life appeals to everyone, but the idea of getting old doesn’t appeal to anyone.
630
When you walk down the street and see something in a crazy spot, there’s something powerful about that. The street will always be an important part of getting art out there for me.
631
The secret of getting things done is to act!
632
633
634
I’m terrified to get married. I’m not getting married till my gay friends can.
635
636
The mistake British comedians often make is trying to beat the Americans at their own game – getting visiting American singers on their shows, talking about ‘sidewalk‘ instead of ‘pavement,’ sitting on high stools in a white dinner jacket doing ballads. That way, you simply end up with a mid-Atlantic mishmash.
637
When you’re in a pocket with low vaccination rates, that’s when you find yourself at greater risk of getting measles.
638
639
When I see out-of-shape, overweight people huffing and puffing in the gym, my eyes well up with tears of pride. I want to walk over to them, hug them, and say, ‘Good on you for getting in here. It gets better!’ You know why? Because they’re challenging themselves.
640
We all know what flopping is when we see it. The stuff that you see is where guys aren’t really getting hit at all and are just flailing around like a fish out of water.
641
The biases the media has are much bigger than conservative or liberal. They’re about getting ratings, about making money, about doing stories that are easy to cover.
642
643
644
Before everything else, getting ready is the secret of success.
645
646
When we take time to notice the things that go right – it means we’re getting a lot of little rewards throughout the day.
647
Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.
648
It truly feels like all my blood, sweat, and tears have paid off, and you’re just excited to be a woman because you’re getting just as much time as the men, and you’re getting the recognition.
649
I live in a neighborhood so bad that you can get shot while getting shot.
650
The clock never stops, never stops, never waits. We’re growing old. It’s getting late.
651
652
Debt certainly isn’t always a bad thing. A mortgage can help you afford a home. Student loans can be a necessity in getting a good job. Both are investments worth making, and both come with fairly low interest rates.
653
654
Making my class laugh and getting in trouble. I was the class clown.
655
A lot of hacking is playing with other people, you know, getting them to do strange things.
