190
Optimism is a kind of heart stimulant – the digitalis of failure.
191
‘The Grand Budapest Hotel‘ is not really my thing, but I kind of loved it.

194
One door shuts, and another one opens, and you just kind of follow that path. My path has been a little curvy, but it is what it is. It’s all good.
195
All of these young people have some kind of potential in them. And if we don’t invest in them as a nation, regardless of where they come from or what color they are, if we don’t invest in them, we lose.
196
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
197
Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
198
On two occasions I have been asked, ‘Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?’ I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question.
199
I have always imagined that Paradise will be a kind of library.
200
What is faith but a kind of betting or speculation after all? It should be, I bet that my Redeemer liveth.
201
I thought being in the wheelchair might be kind of limiting for me as an actor. It turned out cool in a lot of ways. Of course, at the end of the day, I can get up out of the chair and go home, but I’m very acutely aware that most people can’t, so I try to give the situation that depth.
Jim Beaver
202
Me and Kylie are sisters, but not everything we can always do together. She’s not trying to be a model. She’s trying to be more like a personality. We’re trying to kind of separate ourselves – not in a bad way!
203
Rational intelligence is dangerous and leads to ratiocination. The painter is a medium who doesn’t realize what he is doing. No translation can express the mystery of sensibility, a word, still unreliable, which is nevertheless the basis of painting or poetry, like a kind of alchemy.
204
I am a deeply religious nonbeliever – this is a somewhat new kind of religion.
205
Surfing soothes me, it’s always been a kind of Zen experience for me. The ocean is so magnificent, peaceful, and awesome. The rest of the world disappears for me when I’m on a wave.
206
Mirth is like a flash of lightning, that breaks through a gloom of clouds, and glitters for a moment; cheerfulness keeps up a kind of daylight in the mind, and fills it with a steady and perpetual serenity.
207
It is up to God to take revenge. Only God can judge. I don’t have to worry about getting even with anybody or taking out any kind of aggression on anybody. Doing that is a weakness, anyway.
208
You need to have a redesign because familiarity breeds a kind of complacency.
Timothy White
209
Culture is mix. Culture means a mix of things from other sources. And my town, Istanbul, was this kind of mix. Istanbul, in fact, and my work, is a testimony to the fact that East and West combine cultural gracefully, or sometimes in an anarchic way, came together, and that is what we should search for.
210
A movie that makes me cry every time is ‘Billy Elliot.’ That scene where he’s dancing in the hall, and his dad walks in. And the first time his dad can see how amazing he is dancing, but he’s so conflicted with kind of his own feelings towards it. Oh, it’s so emotional.
211
Everybody should be able to enjoy their life, because you only live once. So I just want to get it all out there and be the best role model that I can be, if people want to put me in that kind of predicament. I mean, I didn’t ask to be a role model, because I’m not perfect.
212
There are two kinds of statistics, the kind you look up and the kind you make up.
Rex Stout

215
Here’s the thing – if Donald Trump is elected president of the United States, in a kind of historical way, it’s exciting because we will see the actual last president of the United States. It just won’t work after that.
216
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.
217
You can’t build any kind of organization if you’re not going to surround yourself with people who have experience and skill base beyond your own.
218
I always wanted to know, and I always used to daydream, about what it would be like to stand on a really big stage and sing songs for a lot of people, songs that I had writtenDaydreaming was kind of my No. 1 thing when I was little, because I didn’t have much of a social life going on.
219
You cannot have the same kind of character again and again in every season or every stage of your life. You change, people change.
220
To say that a work of art is good, but incomprehensible to the majority of men, is the same as saying of some kind of food that it is very good but that most people can’t eat it.
221

222
Once you attempt legislation upon religious grounds, you open the way for every kind of intolerance and religious persecution.
223
My mom speaks English – she moved to England in the ’70s, so she’s fluent in English. We use to speak in Spanish when I was a kid all the time, me and my mom. But when I went to boarding school, I kind of lost it a little bit.
Ed Weeks
224
Everything is so chaotic and messy in the world, and I have always felt kind of dirty.
225
Experience is never limited, and it is never complete; it is an immense sensibility, a kind of huge spider-web of the finest silken threads suspended in the chamber of consciousness, and catching every air-borne particle in its tissue.
226
I do not know what the spirit of a philosopher could more wish to be than a good dancer. For the dance is his ideal, also his fine art, finally also the only kind of piety he knows, his ‘divine service.’
227
The kind of classic pose of a female model is to look kind of sexy and a bit annoyed.
228
I’m kind of a Jack of all trades, master of none.
229
When I was a kid, I used to pretend to be Bond; I used to make up scenarios and irritate my sister and annoy my mother and father pretending to be someone else, so I kind of was already acting when I was a child. I just didn’t really know it.
230
I’m an all-or-nothing kind of guy, I guess.
231
I don’t have time to beat myself up over my fallible nature. Instead I use my energy to learn from my past and let it inform my future. It’s time to own all of our glory, mistakes, mess and light and be gentle to ourselves. Let’s be kind to our spirits and celebrate the truth of our hearts.
232
We can’t solve problems by using the same kind of thinking we used when we created them.
233
I noticed that there are no B batteries. I think that’s to avoid confusion, cause if there were you wouldn’t know if someone was stuttering. ‘Yes, hello I’d like some b-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries.’ ‘What kind?’ ‘B-batteries!’ and D-batteries that’s hard for foreigners. ‘Yes, I would like de batteries.’
234
The idea of it becomes a little freaky if you’re dealing with someone who has trouble differentiating between fantasy and reality, but that’s a concern no matter what kind of movie you’re dealing with.
235
I have a son, who is my heart. A wonderful young man, daring and loving and strong and kind.
236
I was sort of born into a Subud cult that has ties to Islam and Indonesia and Middle Eastern spiritualism. My parents were kind of trial-and-error when it came to religion.

244
I never get tired of smiling. I’m just the kind of guy who likes to smile.
245
I do Thai boxing Mondays, jujitsu Tuesdays and Thursdays, and Wednesdays I do boxing with Mark – he was a world champion at one point. I absolutely love it. I actually have a punching bag outside in my garden. I’m obsessed with working out. I eat like a pig, so it kind of makes up for that.
246
Waiting is painful. Forgetting is painful. But not knowing which to do is the worse kind of suffering.
247
There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.
248
Religion is capable of driving people to such dangerous folly that faith seems to me to qualify as a kind of mental illness.
249
I’m usually the kind of person where if someone tells me, ‘Oh my God, you have to watch this show. It’s amazing,’ I kind of want to go against it and not watch it. But for ‘Stranger Things,’ I couldn’t resist. I had to watch it.
250
Everything in the Universe, throughout all its kingdoms, is conscious: i.e., endowed with a consciousness of its own kind and on its own plane of perception.
Helena Blavatsky
251
Basically I wake up in the morning and I think everything’s going to be great. I’m really kind of optimistic, and I look forward to a new day. I pick up ‘The New York Times,’ and I look at the front page and realize that once again I’m wrong. I start to fixate on stuff.
252
The greatest gift is a passion for reading. It is cheap, it consoles, it distracts, it excites, it gives you knowledge of the world and experience of a wide kind. It is a moral illumination.
Elizabeth Hardwick
253
Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.
254
I’m kind of unlucky in love and I have, for some reason, always fallen for the straight guy.
255
Remove all the traffic lights, yellow lines, one-way systems and road markings, and let blissful anarchy prevail. I imagine it would produce a kind of harmony.

Bob Hope
258

260
Conflict is drama, and how people deal with conflict shows you the kind of people they are.
261
Dictators can fix up their entire families in good jobs, in or around government, and often do. In democracies, such a practice is frowned upon. Privileged access to the corridors of power through family connections and a kind of old boys’ network, is also deemed an abuse of power, and so it is.
Jimmy Reid
262
In our leisure we reveal what kind of people we are.
263

Tycho Brahe
264
Man is the only kind of varmint sets his own trap, baits it, then steps in it.

271
It is a kind of spiritual snobbery that makes people think they can be happy without money.

278
The guitar has a kind of grit and excitement possessed by nothing else.
279
The world is a fickle place, and it’s not fair. But if you’re getting most of your rewards from you, then you can use that as a kind of compass, and you can be secure in the fact that you’re working for the right reason, and you’re going in the right direction.
280
My father has fair skin, and my mother is dark, and I’m kind of cafe au lait.
Lela Rochon

The ultimate end of education is happiness or a good human life, a life enriched by the possession of every kind of good, by the enjoyment of every type of satisfaction.
282
Honestly, I don’t listen to nobody else‘s music but my own. It’s kind of like sports to me. You don’t see Kobe Bryant at a LeBron James game – he just works on his own game. And that’s what I do. I only listen to me, so I can criticize and analyze and all those things.
283
I was wrestling all the way to high school, but it kind of came in the same season as basketball, so I had to pick and choose one, and I decided to go all the way with basketball.
284
I’m an optimistic realist. I kind of expect the worst but prepare for the best.
285
I give all the glory to God. It’s kind of a win-win situation. The glory goes up to Him and the blessings fall down on me.
286
Maybe, if you put your disbelief aside, roll up your sleeves, take some risks, and totally go for it, you’ll wake up one day and realise you’re living the kind of life you used to be jealous of.
287
I’m a Pisces, so I’m a very closed-book kind of person.
288

289
Your life is your canvas, and you are the masterpiece. There are a million ways to be kind, amazing, fabulous, creative, bold, and interesting.
290
A hypocrite is the kind of politician who would cut down a redwood tree, then mount the stump and make a speech for conservation.
291
I think everybody has their own way of looking at their lives as some kind of pilgrimage. Some people will see their role as a pilgrim in terms of setting up a fine family, or establishing a business inheritance. Everyone’s got their own definition. Mine, I suppose, is to know myself.
292
I just got an ear for the kind of things I like.
293
I don’t know the law, the kind of law of quantity and quality, but I think the opportunity of people being able to express themselves and to have the means of production is a great thing. It’s also changing how we’re telling stories.
294
There’s a schizoid streak within the family anyway so I dare say that I’m affected by that. The majority of the people in my family have been in some kind of mental institution, as for my brother he doesn’t want to leave. He likes it very much.
295
I put little goals in place every day, and I think if you can kind of keep to the small things it’s easier to capture the big picture at the end.
296
My mom has always been kind of my backbone. She keeps me strong. She is a mother, a friend. She is really everything to me.

Dorothy L. Sayers
299
My brain is just so busy. I’m inattentive; I’m a daydreamer: the space cadet kind.
300
Things don’t just happen in this world of arising and passing away. We don’t live in some kind of crazy, accidental universe. Things happen according to certain laws, laws of nature. Laws such as the law of karma, which teaches us that as a certain seed gets planted, so will that fruit be.
301
Some people strengthen the society just by being the kind of people they are.
302
Revenge is a kind of wild justice, which the more a man’s nature runs to, the more ought law to weed it out.
303
One of our things is that money follows; it does not lead. So we want people that are fired up and passionate about their mission… and people that aren’t so married to spreadsheets and thinking that kind of voodoo controls the future. Because it doesn’t.
304
I guess this is gonna sound kind of weird, but I’m not scared for myself for dying. Because I believe all these places are temporary. This is just one shell. Because we Hawaiians live in both worlds.
Israel Kamakawiwo’ole
305
I guess I kind of lived in a fairytale world… looking at everything through rose-colored glasses. I probably always will, to a certain extent.

309
See what you have to ask yourself is what kind of person are you? Are you the kind that sees signs, sees miracles? Or do you believe that people just get lucky?
310
The most practical kind of politics is the politics of decency.
311
There’s always a bittersweet kind of thing, but I feel like everything had to work out the way it is. Everything that had to happen, happened.
312
I grew up in a house of no love or emotion – it kind of sticks with you.
313
I’m a fan of the kind of political correctness that is about not promoting prejudice. But some people in America are offended by equality because when you’ve had privilege for so long, equality feels like oppression.
314
The government, whether state or central, is elected. That means we have a responsibility to elect the right kind of leaders.
315
A woman can beat any man; it’s difficult to imagine another kind of sport where a woman can beat a man. That’s why I like chess.
Alexandra Kosteniuk
316
I’ve always been kind of a voyeur.
317
Justice… is a kind of compact not to harm or be harmed.
Epicurus
318
A two-year-old is kind of like having a blender, but you don’t have a top for it.
319
It is not the style of clothes one wears, neither the kind of automobile one drives, nor the amount of money one has in the bank, that counts. These mean nothing. It is simply service that measures success.
320
To some degree Satanism is purely a kind of disease of Christianity. You’ve got to really be Christian to believe in Satan.

322
Standing as a witness in all things means being kind in all things, being the first to say hello, being the first to smile, being the first to make the stranger feel a part of things, being helpful, thinking of others’ feelings, being inclusive.
323
I hate Woody Allen physically, I dislike that kind of man.
324
I believe Costco does more for civilization than the Rockefeller Foundation. I think it’s a better place. You get a bunch of very intelligent people sitting around trying to do good, I immediately get kind of suspicious and squirm in my seat.
325
Treat others as you wish to be treated. Don’t just be nice, but be kind to other people. That can be so rewarding.
326
True patriotism is better than the wrong kind of piety.
327
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.
328
Many a friendship, long, loyal, and self-sacrificing, rested at first on no thicker a foundation than a kind word.
Frederick William Faber
329
There’s something about the water – that solitary kind of peaceful feeling. You’re on Earth but not quite.
330
My hair color is super important to my look because I feel like it helps kind of define who I am. It’s like a characteristic of mine that makes me feel comfortable and different from the rest.
331
Many churches of all persuasions are hiring research agencies to poll neighborhoods, asking what kind of church they prefer. Then the local churches design themselves to fit the desires of the people. True faith in God that demands selflessness is being replaced by trendy religion that serves the selfish.
332
So much of left-wing thought is a kind of playing with fire by people who don’t even know that fire is hot.
333
At the heart of globalisation is a new kind of intolerance in the West towards other cultures, traditions and values, less brutal than in the era of colonialism, but more comprehensive and totalitarian.
334
The biggest determinant in our lives is culture, where we are born, what the environment looks like. But the second biggest determinant is probably governance, good governance or a certain kind of governance makes a huge difference in our lives.
335

Dietrich Bonhoeffer
336

338
I really enjoy the company of my kids… I’m not one of those people who goes ‘Yeah, my kids are my mates‘, that’s a dreadful kind of mother, but I’m fortunate that there are times that they do want me around, and I feel lucky that they let me into their world.
339
I’m kind of stupid when it comes to gadgets.
340
I wish to be useful, and every kind of service necessary to the public good becomes honorable by being necessary.
Nathan Hale
341
I take after my mother more than my father in terms of personality. My mother’s a worrier, and I’m a worrier. Both were very good with numbers and mathematics, so I kind of got that from both of them.
342
I think it’s important to get your surroundings as well as yourself into a positive state – meaning surround yourself with positive people, not the kind who are negative and jealous of everything you do.
343
Happy accidents are real gifts, and they can open the door to a future that didn’t even exist. It’s kind of nice sometimes to set up something to encourage or allow happy accidents to happen.
344
And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others.
345
I feel like anything I’m doing in life, I try to stay myself and be as honest and true as I can be, you know, and be a nice person. I’ve always been taught to be kind to people and have an open mind about life.
346
It’s a very empowering kind of music, heavy metal is.
347
There are two kinds of teachers: the kind that fill you with so much quail shot that you can’t move, and the kind that just gives you a little prod behind and you jump to the skies.
348
I did a year at Columbia, and I just kind of floundered. Maybe it wasn’t the right place for me.
349
My second divorce was the worst kind of divorce. There were two children; one had just been born. My husband was in love with someone else.
350
My favourite kind of comedy comes from the awkwardness of living, the stuff that makes you cringe but borders on tragic – that is more interesting to me. It resonates; it comes from emotional truth.
351
When I came to Johannesburg from the countryside, I knew nobody, but many strangers were very kind to me. I then was dragged into politics, and then, subsequently, I became a lawyer.
352
I think there’s just one kind of folks. Folks.
Harper Lee
353
The most important practical lesson that can be given to nurses is to teach them what to observe – how to observe – what symptoms indicate improvement – what the reverse – which are of importance – which are of none – which are the evidence of neglect – and of what kind of neglect.
354
‘The more expensive the better’ is kind of the American way, and if you spent $600 for a sweatshirt, then that makes it better.
355
I think that a lot of people, especially as technology began to speed up and we became more distant, we kind of started to lose our appreciation for human contact and gathering and friendships and a lot of the things that we really took for granted.
356
The neck is kind of what’s sexy in Japan, so you have to have the kimono a little bit back. It was just a whole different way of appealing to what was sexy.
Lucy Liu
357
Most gospel music is very vertical. And there’s nothing wrong with that – there’s nothing wrong with, you know, ‘God, we praise you,’ and ‘hallelujah.’ Those songs are very important. But I also like to do songs that are very horizontal, that kind of fit within the fabric of people’s everyday life.
358
The most formidable weapon against errors of every kind is reason.
359
The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.
360
I hate prejudice, discrimination, and snobbishness of any kind – it always reflects on the person judging and not the person being judged. Everyone should be treated equally.
361
The idea is that there is a kind of memory in nature. Each kind of thing has a collective memory. So, take a squirrel living in New York now. That squirrel is being influenced by all past squirrels.
362
I don’t think I’ve ever felt that same kind of peace, the kind of serenity that I felt after acknowledging that maybe I was going to die of this TB.
363
Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all.
364
Three things in human life are important. The first is to be kind. The second is to be kind. And the third is to be kind.
365
I went to the University of Vermont because I had a kind of unrequited love for this high school girlfriend. She wasn’t even at the University but at another school nearby. But I thought if went to a school near her, just maybe… I was really remedial about girls in so many ways.
366
Be to their virtue very kind; be to their faults a little blind.
Matthew Prior
367
If we don’t plant the right things, we will reap the wrong things. It goes without saying. And you don’t have to be, you know, a brilliant biochemist and you don’t have to have an IQ of 150. Just common sense tells you to be kind, ninny, fool. Be kind.
368
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.
369
Every significant event that takes place in our lives is set to some kind of music.
Peabo Bryson
370
One of the most important decisions you’ll ever make is choosing the kind of universe you exist in: is it helpful and supportive or hostile and unsupportive? Your answer to this question will make all the difference in terms of how you live your life and what kind of Divine assistance you attract.
371
Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else’s expense. And I find that that’s just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else’s feelings.
372
There’s something about a humid, dusky evening that’s kind of sexy.
Sam Trammell
373
I’m kind of mischievous with good friends around.
