Because hip-hop has no requirements, you deal with people that have the least intelligence on the planet. Some of the people that compare themselves to me, compare themselves to me because they rap and I rap. They can’t even read the contracts that they sign to be a rapper, to do the deal.

I think I came to see Islam, or at least one part of Islam, as an important defense mechanism against the commercialization of the world.
13
I go to Canada at least every two years.
14
The problem of different sensitivities of distinct protein groups to lysosomal inhibitors has remained unsolved and may have served as an important trigger in the future quest for a non-lysosomal proteolytic system that may be involved in at least certain aspects of intracellular protein degradation.

There are no figures in the Trump campaign who colluded with Russia – but there were at least five in the Obama administration who helped push the bogus narratives of collusion and obstruction, and they have plenty of questions to answer.

It is extremely interesting to live in a private house and to see the externalities, at least, of domestic life in a Japanese middle-class home.
25
26
I just didn’t want to leave the Cowboys when they were down. I at least wanted them to get into a respectable position before anyone else took over.

I like to do at least 15 minutes of cardio every day if I can fit it in.
31
For me, what’s a more important question is how we get at least the option of more diverse experiences in this media.

It is necessary to work, if not from inclination, at least from despair. Everything considered, work is less boring than amusing oneself.

It’s an amusing idea to some, this feminism thing – this audacious notion that women should be able to move through the world as freely, and enjoy the same inalienable rights and bodily autonomy, as men. At least, that’s the impression given when feminism and feminists are all too often the targets of lazy humor.
45
As soon as men know that they can kill without fear of punishment or blame, they kill; or at least they encourage killers with approving smiles.
46
47
I understand the common man because I understand me in that regard at least.
48
49
The least one can say of power is that a vocation for it is suspicious.

One of the great ironies of the social media era is that some of the least social people in the world created it.
53
54
55
56
If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.
57
If you look to lead, invest at least 40% of your time managing yourself – your ethics, character, principles, purpose, motivation, and conduct. Invest at least 30% managing those with authority over you, and 15% managing your peers.
58
In some extremely important ways, people are what you expect them to be, or at least they behave as you expect them to behave.

I was kind of secretly hoping one of my kids would go out and make a million bucks. So when they put me in a home, at least I’ll have a window with a view.
64
In Barcelona, things seem so different. For example, I know that it’s traditionally the least Spanish city, but you’d never know they had a monarchy, coming here as a tourist – as opposed to the U.K., where the Queen is probably the best-known animal, vegetable and/or mineral going when it comes to overseas visitors.

As for ‘Great Expectations‘, it is up there for me with the world’s greatest novels, not least as it vindicates plot as no other novel I can think of does, since what there is to find out is not coincidence or happenstance but the profoundest moral truth.
72
73
I’m a ‘specist.’ I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race. I’m the product of 6 million years of evolution? Come on, man.
74
Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.
75
76
77
78
We should pass the U.N.’s Comprehensive Convention on International Terrorism. At least it will clearly establish whom you view as a terrorist and whom you don’t. We need to delink terrorism from religion – to isolate terrorists who use this interchange of arguments between terrorism and religion.

I don’t do ordinary work. That is not me in the least.
85
86
87
Vote for the man who promises least; he’ll be the least disappointing.
88
Winning a Nobel Prize isn’t about being clever at all. It’s about making… at least in physiology or medicine, it’s about making discoveries, and you don’t have to be clever to make a discovery, I don’t think; it just comes up and punches you on the nose.
89
If you’re setting up lights and tripods, and you’ve got three assistants running around, people will want to get you out as fast as they can. But if you go the opposite way, if you make the camera the least important thing in the room, then it’s different.

People may trash me, but at least they’re talking about me.

I read everywhere. I read every day. I read on the couch with my dog in the afternoon and at night. I try to read at least two to three hours a day. I read only fiction.
107
What I would like is to at least have a discussion with the coach, that he tells me what he thinks. I have to know.
108
I don’t like drum solos, to be honest with you, but if anybody ever told me he didn’t like Buddy Rich I’d right away say go and see him, at least the once.
109
Sexiness is all in the eye of the beholder. I think it should be. Absolutely. My sex appeal, whatever it might be, isn’t obvious… at least to me.
110
Our generation was born during the turmoil following the First World War. That war marked the dividing line – at least for the Western World – between the comfortable security of the 19th century and the instability and flux of our own time.
111
112
113
If I’m in a political argument, I think I can, with reasonable accuracy and without boasting, put the other person’s side of the case at least as well as they could. One has to be able to say that in any well-conducted argument.

Someone enjoys your batting, and someone, your humour. Since I’m not batting any longer, I can at least say some words, so people enjoy and give me compliments, too.
123
I want art to make me think. In order to do that, it may piss me off, or make me uncomfortable. That promotes awareness and change, or at least some discussion.
124
125
I go back to South Africa at least once a year, sometimes twice, and usually for a month. And probably, I’m guessing, I’ll spend more time back there as I get older.
126
127
128
129
I may be no better, but at least I am different.
130
I think race and racism is probably the most studied social, economic, and political phenomenon in this country, but it’s also the least understood.
131
The thing that makes writing so difficult is you don’t have the element of serendipity. At least with a photograph, you can set up the camera, and something might happen. You might be a lousy photographer, but you can get a good picture if you just take enough of them.
132
133
In colleges throughout America, students are taught to have disdain for the white race. I know this sounds incredible, or at least exaggerated. It is neither.
134
Truth, though it has many disadvantages, is at least changeless. You can always find it where you left it.
135
136
Mama exhorted her children at every opportunity to ‘jump at the sun.’ We might not land on the sun, but at least we would get off the ground.
137
Life is the game that must be played, this truth at least, good friends, we know; so live and laugh, nor be dismayed as one by one the phantoms go.
138
139
When I was very young in London, I had a bank account, which didn’t have a great deal in it. I should think at least every three months the bank manager would call me up and threaten to strangle me because I had no money, and I was writing checks.
140
It took me at least all my 20s and some of my 30s to get the confidence to realise I could just write about what I wanted to write about without having to pass a test or look super clever.
141
142
I have a type of bipolar that swings up and down all day long. There are significant mood swings within a day, within a week, within a month. I go through at least four major episodes a year. That’s really the definition of bipolar rapid cycle. But I have ultra-rapid, so I have tiny little episodes all day long.
143
Old age is an excellent time for outrage. My goal is to say or do at least one outrageous thing every week.
144
The idea of ‘raw‘ music, to me, is honesty: getting people to feel you with the least amount of production possible, the shortest distance traveled emotionally, sonically.
145
I will check the internet for at least an hour every morning scanning worldwide news to do with child abuse. So if you’re constantly putting yourself in an environment where you’re checking up on social economics or homelessness problems, if you keep yourself aware of it, you don’t really have a day off.
146
When mental energy is allowed to follow the line of least resistance and to fall into easy channels, it is called weakness.
147
148
Even in the depths of dreadful situations, there’s usually something rather comic, or something you can laugh about afterwards, at least. So, I do look for the comedy in those things.
149
Jerry Seinfeld is amazing in many ways, not the least of them his ability to find humor, and convincing us to find it, too, in the million-and-two details about modern life that under different circumstances might send us into paroxysms of rage.
150
151
152
153
I think in some ways it’s good to have at least one thing for which you could be really immortal, you know?
154
Three, maybe four times a week, I run for 30 minutes. If I don’t run, I’m out for a brisk walk at least an hour every day.
155
156
Good ideas are free – or at least they should be.
157
Of all classes the rich are the most noticed and the least studied.
158
159
160
I envy people who drink – at least they know what to blame everything on.
161
162
With the casino and the beds, our passengers will have at least two ways to get lucky on one of our flights.
163
164
Close by the Rights of Man, at the least set beside them, are the Rights of the Spirit.
165
As hard as it is and as tired as I am, I force myself to get dinner at least once a week with my girlfriends, or have a sleepover. Otherwise my life is just work.
166
167
It is by a wise economy of nature that those who suffer without change, and whom no one can help, become uninteresting. Yet so it may happen that those who need sympathy the most often attract it the least.
168
169
I’ve done some movies before when you have months, or three weeks at least, to train and to learn choreography.
170
I think good art should always be entertaining, or at least give pleasure of some sort. And my chief goal as a writer has always been to tell a good story and give my readers a good time.
171
172
Cruelty is a part of nature, at least of human nature, but it is the one thing that seems unnatural to us.
173
As for civil liberties, any one who is not vigilant may one day find himself living, if not in a police state, at least in a police city.
174
175
176
Destiny smiles upon me but without making me the least bit happier.
177
In the usual progress of things, the necessities of a nation in every stage of its existence will be found at least equal to its resources.
178
179
He might never really do what he said, but at least he had it in mind. He had somewhere to go.
180
181
My first novel, ‘Leaving Atlanta,’ took at look at my hometown in the late 1970s, when the city was terrorized by a serial murderer that left at least 29 African-American children dead.
182
183
We are least open to precise knowledge concerning the things we are most vehement about.
184
We still don’t know what evolutionary significance to attach to it, but it is at the very least interesting that a telomere gene is related to obesity.
185
186
While one can’t always begrudge the wealth of people who have at least produced something of value, the rich of the financial world don’t make anything but more money. They’re not creative, aside from, perhaps, in accounting.
187
188
Simplicity, for reasons that are a little bit obscure, is almost not pursued, at least in the academic world.
189
It is very important for both the parents to spend quality time with their children, at least till they are eight years old, whatever be our social status, or even if grandparents are available to take care of them, and that is the message we try to drive home in ‘Pasanga 2.’
190
Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that – fight.
191
Thank God that at least in one place, all men are equal: in the church of God. I do not consider it any degradation to kneel side by side with a Negro in the house of our Heavenly Father.
192
193
194
I just try to do something to sweat at least an hour a day.
195
We owe at least this much to future generations, from whom we have borrowed a fragile planet called Earth.
196
Temptation is as old as time; or at least, the history of temptation extends as far back as the moment Eve gave Adam that serpent’s apple. But what sets the lady apart from the tramp is the ability to acknowledge she needs to clean up her act – and then, of course, the fact that she actually does clean up her act.
197
I have the audience I deserve. Or at least I have the audience that represents the kind of people that I like.
198
199
200
201
If you pay your credit card off every month, get a rewards card. One that gives you airline miles or that will give you 1 percent cash back at least on every purchase.
202
I believe it is incredibly important for women and people of color to become the builders and creators in technology. In order to do so, we need to know how to code or, at least, know the language of coding – what I like to call ‘code speak.’
203
204
Narcissism is the part of my personality that I am the least proud of, and I certainly don’t like to see it highlighted in everybody else I meet.
205
Sometimes you are lucky, sometimes you’re unlucky. It all weighs out at the end. That is my experience at least.
206
Poetry is at least an elegance and at most a revelation.
207
208
A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit.
209
210
As technology evolves, it manipulates our culture, and there’s a huge opportunity to push ourselves further. I think it actually makes ourselves maybe more human, or at least human in a different way, that we can connect together in amazingly different ways and powerful new ways.
211
212
I have never been a Conservative, or at least not since being a young teenager. My father voted Conservative, and even his doing that was a hangover from the ’50s and ’60s, which may have been an influence on me.
213
I believe in practicing prudence at least once every two or three years.
214
215
216
Today, the District of Columbia has more residents than at least two other states; Puerto Rico has more than 20. With numbers like that, admitting either or both to the union is less a political power play on the Democrats‘ part than the late-19th-century partisan move that still warps American politics.
217
Working with Brock Lesnar is a daily challenge because every Monday night that we’re on television, I feel compelled to deliver, at least from my end, the best performance I’ve ever put on.
218
The majority must be persuaded by ideology that their government is good, wise and, at least, inevitable, and certainly better than other conceivable alternatives. Promoting this ideology among the people is the vital social task of the ‘intellectuals.’
219
220
God created paper for the purpose of drawing architecture on it. Everything else is, at least for me, an abuse of paper.
221
In Kosovo, the U.S. has chosen a course of action that escalates atrocities and violence. It is also a course of action that strikes a blow against the regime of international order, but which offers the weak at least some protection from predatory states.
222
When I heard the Pixies for the first time, I connected with that band so heavily I should have been in that band – or at least in a Pixies cover band.
223
I tend to think some things are off-limits. Not in the sense that you should not be able to say them, but you need some care about how and when you go into them. If you wanted to make a joke about concentration camps you should think twice. At least twice.
224
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.
225
226
Opening day. All you have to do is say the words and you feel the shutters thrown wide, the room air out, the light pour in. In baseball, no other day is so pure with possibility. No scores yet, no losses, no blame or disappointment. No hangover, at least until the game’s over.
227
228
229
Extradition treaties date back at least to 1259 B.C., when the Hittite King Hattusili the Third and Ramesses the Second signed a treaty of ‘peace and brotherhood for all time.’ They have become more commonplace as international travel has become easier and sensibly streamlined.
230
231
When I wrote ‘The Rozabal Line,’ I had no preconceived notions of what a commercial bestseller should be. I have always viewed ‘The Rozabal Line’ as my first love and probably my best work. The fact, however, is that it is my least read work.
232
I’m a perfectionist. I can’t help it, I get really upset with myself if I fail in the least.
233
234
235
I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.
236
Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.
237
Medicine has changed greatly in the last decades. Widespread vaccinations have practically eradicated many illnesses, at least in western Europe and the United States. The use of chemotherapy, especially the antibiotics, has contributed to an ever decreasing number of fatalities in infectious diseases.
238
I do think we need to at least register artificial intelligence units to be able to monitor and control them. Because we want to control them and not vice versa.
239
There seem to me to be very few facts, at least ascertainable facts, in politics.
240
Luck affects everything. Let your hook always be cast; in the stream where you least expect it there will be a fish.
241
242
243
244
245
246
247
If I was being paid thirty-thousand dollars a year, the very least I could do was hit .400.
248
249
More important than your obligation to follow your conscience, or at least prior to it, is your obligation to form your conscience correctly.
250
Jokes are better than war. Even the most aggressive jokes are better than the least aggressive wars. Even the longest jokes are better than the shortest wars.
251
I say: If you don’t know how to cook, I’m sure you have at least one friend who knows how to cook. Well, call that friend and say, ‘Can I come next time and can I bring some food and can I come an hour or two hours ahead and watch you and help you?’
252
253
254
My father said, ‘Aren’t you going to do anything to help people? We have a whole rack of relatives who are always breaking the law. At least help your relatives.’ And so that’s what I did.
255
I wear wigs all the time on shows, and every day when I’m in public, at Dollywood. People say, ‘How many wigs do you have?’ And I say, ‘Well, at least 365 because I wear at least one a day.’
256
257
258
259
You have no control over the market. You can’t predict where it will go, and you can’t bring it back from the depths. What you can do is save more. Make sure you have cash on hand – an emergency fund of at least six months of expenses.
260
I’d like to be the person who changes things, or at least open doors for others.
261
The language fictional characters use is chosen for effect, at least if the author is concentrating.
262
If you would be a real seeker after truth, it is necessary that at least once in your life you doubt, as far as possible, all things.
263
Though analogy is often misleading, it is the least misleading thing we have.
264
265
The least thing upset him on the links. He missed short putts because of the uproar of the butterflies in the adjoining meadows.
266
Socialism violates at least three of the Ten Commandments: It turns government into God, it legalizes thievery and it elevates covetousness. Discussions of income inequality, after all, aren’t about prosperity but about petty spite. Why should you care how much money I make, so long as you are happy?
267
At the very least we should be given a bit of credit and a little bit of space, and maybe the media should think we could help them discover why English teams do not win European competitions.
268
Wonder if there is life on another planet? Let’s suppose there is. Suppose further, that only one star in a trillion has a planet that could support life. If that were the case, then there would be at least 100 million planets that harbored life.
269
270
271
272
273
Well it was not exactly a dissertation in logic, at least not the kind of logic you would find in Whitehead and Russell‘s Principia Mathematica for instance. It looked more like mathematics; no formalized language was used.
274
275
276
277
278
If I’ve ever regretted anything, it was putting all my eggs in one basket, holing up and kneeling at the altar of literature, instead of going out and at least reviewing, running around and trying to write for magazines. That would’ve been the intelligent thing to do, but I didn’t, and that was because of fanaticism.
279
280
Any government, that is its own judge of, and determines authoritatively for the people, what are its own powers over the people, is an absolute government of course. It has all the powers that it chooses to exercise. There is no other or at least no more accurate definition of a despotism than this.
281
282
283
284
285
Overspending is as certain a part of the holiday season as overeating. But pushing away from both the table and the cash register at least a little bit sooner can make the post-holiday hangover hurt a little bit less.
286
We all know that Art is not truth. Art is a lie that makes us realize the truth, at least the truth that is given to us to understand.
287
The photographers are always around. Wherever I go, they start clicking incessantly. I am always like, ‘At least give me a heads-up, as, many times, I look so disheveled. What will people think?’
288
289
Going to a party uninvited always has been a negative action. It never has been acceptable. At the very least, it upsets kitchen preparations, parking arrangements, and even details such as space for hanging coats and depositing dripping umbrellas.
290
You’re allowed to have gravitas when you’ve got the wrinkles to prove it, but not when you’re attractive and younger – or, at least, you have to fight really hard to prove you’re capable of productive thought.
291
292
Mistakes are a part of being human. Appreciate your mistakes for what they are: precious life lessons that can only be learned the hard way. Unless it’s a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.
293
The best-regulated home is always that in which the discipline is the most perfect, and yet where it is the least felt. Moral discipline acts with the force of a law of nature.
294
My mother, father, stepmother and surrogate mother have all died of cancer; my best friend has got terminal cancer and at least five of my other friends have had cancer but survived it.
295
An actor is at most a poet and at least an entertainer.
296
I reject the notion that a high turnout helps Senator Kerry. I think in Florida at least, it’s going to help President Bush because we have gotten more registered voters than the Democrats, and our base is just fired up – thanks to your help and a lot of others.
297
Art work is inconclusive. It opens your mind up. At least, that’s what I hope it does. And advertising, using exactly the same photograph, closes things down. It makes it conclusive. It sells a product, and that is its primary function.
298
299
300
It is well for people who think to change their minds occasionally in order to keep them clean. For those who do not think, it is best at least to rearrange their prejudices once in a while.
301
A little narcissism is good. At least that’s what I am telling myself.
302
My physical preparation for a series starts at least 10, 15 days before it begins, but mentally around a month before I start visualising things as to which bowling attack I will be facing, the conditions I will encounter and other things.
303
I don’t know if there’s anything sadder than an actor who hasn’t made a good picture, and at least I got a few good ones that will stand the test of time. I feel very fortunate about that.
304
I swear my car won’t run unless I’m picking my nose: At least, I’m that superstitious about it, so I don’t want to take any chances.
305
306
I think at the beginning of a project, you decide if you’re in love with the idea and what it’s about, or what you think it’s about at that time at least. Then you commit to it, and once you’ve commit to it no matter what, no matter how many self doubts you have, you’re in it. The ship‘s sailed, you can’t turn around.
307
Of all noises, I think music is the least disagreeable.
308
309
For at least another hundred years we must pretend to ourselves and to every one that fair is foul and foul is fair; for foul is useful and fair is not. Avarice and usury and precaution must be our gods for a little longer still.
310
I always cringe when people tell me they don’t eat breakfast, as though that’s a good thing. Eek! You have to start the day off with something in your stomach to get your metabolism active. Also, the mental game of ‘holding out,’ not eating for as long as possible, at least for me, was a really unhealthy mental place.
311
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don’t win, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried. If you don’t accept failure as a possibility, you don’t set high goals, you don’t branch out, you don’t try – you don’t take the risk.
312
If you play this game long enough, you’re going to get your tail kicked at least once.
313
I enjoy nothing more than spending time with my loved ones, young and old, and at least once a year we get together for a formal family photograph.
314
If I didn’t have a front-row seat on history, it was at least a seat on the aisle.
315
316
317
In the ’30s, the Keynesian stuff worked at least in the sense that you could print money without inflation because there was all this productivity growth happening. That’s not going to work today.
318
When you tour you become more intimate with your audience. It’s like I need reassurance that they like me or at least find me relevant. And that I can still do it.

There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next level of performance. Miss that moment – and you start to decline.
321
Constant tension should be applied to the last five reps of every working set, meaning, do the first 5-6 reps normal tempo, and the last few reps should be held for at least two seconds at the peak of the contraction. This allows your muscles to have more time under tension, and you work different muscle fibers.
322
Everything that’s bad for you catches on too quickly in America, because that’s the easiest thing to get people to invest in, the pursuits that are easy and destructive, the ones that bring out the least positive aspects of people.
323
324
And, we put a lot more value, or at least I personally put a lot more value, on the creative values and creative challenges of something than the commercial necessities.
325
The least amount of judging we can do, the better off we are.
326
There are at least two retrospectives of my work each year in some country.
327
328
We all dream; we do not understand our dreams, yet we act as if nothing strange goes on in our sleep minds, strange at least by comparison with the logical, purposeful doings of our minds when we are awake.
329
330
331
332
Time travel may be achieved one day, or it may not. But if it is, it should not require any fundamental change in world-view, at least for those who broadly share the world view I am presenting in this book.
333
A source of embarrassment for Libyans, Gadhafi has never been a joke: disappearances, a police state, zero freedom of expression, and poverty for at least a third of the population of country tremendously wealthy thanks to oil.
334
How many actors have a shot at being a part of something that became a part of pop culture? It’s been very rewarding. I’m not getting the 20 million bucks for the new movies, but at least I’m getting warmth and recognition from people wherever I go.
335
Though Mohyeldin’s journalistic reputation continues to grow – born in Egypt, raised in Michigan, started as a gofer for NBC News, reared as a producer at CNN, first appeared on-camera for Al Jazeera in 2006 – his is hardly a household name, not in America at least.
336
337
A black agenda is jobs, jobs, jobs, quality education, investment in infrastructure and strong democratic regulation of corporations. The black agenda, at its best, looks at America from the vantage point of the least of these and asks what’s best for all.
338
If you don’t own a dog, at least one, there is not necessarily anything wrong with you, but there may be something wrong with your life.
339
340
When you’re in your 20s, your 30s, even, you have – at least, I had – vast ambitions, and you sit around mooning about these things, and you’re depressed, because you haven’t done them. And it takes you a long time to come to the realization that if you can’t be John Updike, well, then, you can’t.
341
I quickly found that I didn’t really fit into ‘gay culture,’ as identified by many gay people, and that it can be just as confining as straight culture, not least in the way that bisexual people are told that ‘they can’t make up their mind.’
342
Let your hook be always cast. In the pool where you least expect it, will be fish.
343
We always work at least a month to six weeks before we go on the road, usually for something like eight to 12 hours a night. It took six weeks to do it this time. We just play virtually everything we know.
344
I don’t regard James Bond precisely as a hero, but at least he does get on and do his duty, in an extremely corny way.
345
346
347
348
349
350
I mean, what is music anyway? It’s a form of communication – at least for me it is. And that’s why I play the kind of music that I think – that I hope – can communicate with people.
351
Africans who immigrate to America know how little racism exists there. They suspect it before emigrating from Africa, and they know it after arriving in America. Indeed, America, the Left’s depiction of it notwithstanding, is the least racist country in the world.
352
If God had to give a woman wrinkles, He might at least have put them on the soles of her feet.
353
354
There are two sides, at least, to most political questions, and a politician‘s impulse may be to believe that the same holds true for science. Certainly, there are disputes in science. But on the question of climate change, the divide is stark.
355
Every day of my adult life, I have worn at least one piece of jewelry from my maternal grandmother‘s collection, all of which were manufactured by famed Danish silversmith Georg Jensen. To the naked eye, I am either a Jensen loyalist or a grandmother loyalist. Really I am just a Pretty Things loyalist.
356
I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it’s OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink.
357
I would say probably my least favorite costume ever was in ‘Van Helsing.’ That was a huge pain because it had thigh-high boots with 30 buckles on them that had to be done up individually.
358
359
360
361
Marketing is what gets you noticed, and that side of it something – this side of it, if you like, doing interviews – is the side of it that I least enjoy, and yet is 50% of the project.
362
Nothing can resist the person who smiles at life – I don’t mean the ironic and disillusioned smile of my grandfather, but the triumphant smile of the person who knows that he will survive, or that at least he will be saved by what seems to be destroying him.
363
I still make sure to go, at least once every year, to a country where things cannot be taken for granted, and where there is either too much law and order or too little.
364
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one’s will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
365
366
Since the pleasure of most foods is in the first few bites, eat one thing on your plate at a time, at least at the start of the meal when you can concentrate and enjoy the full flavors.
367
I love teaching. If I made a trillion dollars, I would still teach. It’s different every day. You get to meet intelligent people all the time – or at least most of the time.
368
Of two evils we must always choose the least.
369
The question I ask myself is: have I really just become a squeamish middle-aged man, or has something happened to the horror genre that shows a growing appetite for watching torture, or at least a desire to explore it on film? And if so, why would that be? I can’t pretend I know. I just know I don’t like it.
370
371
I don’t know; it just seemed like the cooler guys are playing Xbox. At least the ones I know.
372
I usually write about ordinary people and ordinary things, but Paul Farmer is the least ordinary person I’ve ever met… He’s the leader of a small group of people who hope to cure a sick world, and I hope my book can help in some small way.
373
374
375
376
It is necessary to help others, not only in our prayers, but in our daily lives. If we find we cannot help others, the least we can do is to desist from harming them.
377
If you can’t make it good, at least make it look good.
378
I think happiness really happens when you least expect it: it’s when you’re not really thinking about it, when you’re not trying to achieve it, when you’re not trying to get the perfect holiday, the perfect life, the perfect body, the perfect existence.
379
Because what happens is, as the economy suffers, tax revenues go down. But unlike businesses, where at least your variable costs go down, in government your variable costs go up: unemployment insurance, workmen’s compensation, health care benefits, welfare, you name it.
380
A Supreme Court justice must convince at least four colleagues to bind the federal government nationwide, whereas a district court judge issuing a nationwide injunction needn’t convince anyone.
381
Metaphors have a way of holding the most truth in the least space.
382
I personally think that you have to get lost to find something really worthwhile, at least sometimes.
383
Vices are usually pleasurable, at least for the time being, and often do not disclose themselves as vices, by their effects, until after they have been practised for many years; perhaps for a lifetime.
384
385
386
But he said Blanket Hill should be a national monument. And so we came out of his chambers feeling, though while we had lost to the powers of darkness, we had at least shown one Federal Judge what the right path would have been.
387
Unfortunately we live in a world where I think women aren’t actively encouraged or at least not empowered to make good work in every creative sphere, particularly in comedy.
388
To my mind the boy who gives least promise is one in whom the critical faculty develops in advance of the imagination.
389
390
Responsible choice involves consequences, not the least of which are relinquishments all along our way.
391
392
Make a habit of two things: to help; or at least to do no harm.
393
394
395
396
397
398

400
If we could do high-speed rail in California just half a notch above what they’ve done on the Shanghai line in China, and if we had a straight path from L.A. to San Francisco, as well as the milk run, at least that would be progress.
401
402
All I know is that, thanks to a sort of habit which has always been ingrained in me, I have never, at any moment of my life, experienced the least difficulty in addressing myself to God as to a supreme Someone.
403
404
I am shy by nature, a person who’s always found something burdensome about human interaction and who probably always will, at least to some degree.
405
406
407
You need to recognize that the copyright date on a book reflects when it came out, not when it was written – assume that the information in the book is at least a year older than the copyright date, and possibly two.
408
409
410
All of the religions are looking after the poor. At least leave me alone to look after the rich. I am the rich man‘s guru.
411
412
413
At least I can write.
414
The writer must be a participant in the scene… like a film director who writes his own scripts, does his own camera work, and somehow manages to film himself in action, as the protagonist or at least the main character.
415
416
It would seem, therefore, that this constitutional safeguard may no longer serve its original purpose, especially when, as we learned last year, some acts of perjury may now be acceptable – in this world, at least, if not the next.
417
Everyone has a ‘risk muscle.’ You keep it in shape by trying new things. If you don’t, it atrophies. Make a point of using it at least once a day.
418
While we are examining into everything we sometimes find truth where we least expected it.
419
420
If you can, help others; if you cannot do that, at least do not harm them.
421
422
Crisis is not a nine-to-five job… Crisis happens when you least expect it.
423
People ask me all the time, ‘How can I become a successful entrepreneur?’ And I have to be honest: It’s one of my least favorite questions, because if you’re waiting for someone else’s advice to become an entrepreneur, chances are you’re not one.
424
Committed partisans are generally the most knowledgeable voters, independents the least. And the more political knowledge people have, the more apt they are to discuss politics with people who agree with, and reinforce, them.
425
426
I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, drinking a lot of water and exercising.
427
Reports in Washington show that our reasoning was just like that of your physicists. With all this information available, at least to privileged persons, I cannot understand why it is generally held in the United States that we completely missed the basic principle of the bomb until after Hiroshima.
428
At least before my hip replacement, I had a quick first step. I could get by you off the dribble. My business game is the same way. I can turn an idea into a business before you know it’s going to be important. My first step will blow by you.
429
430
431
For a man to strike any women is most brutal, and I, as well as everyone else, think this far worse than any attempt to shoot, which, wicked as it is, is at least more comprehensible and more courageous.
432
Hero-worship is strongest where there is least regard for human freedom.
433
The thing that interests me least about the radio business is the radio business. But I’ve had to learn a little bit about it. It’s not rocket science: You get ratings, that’s good.
434
435
With so much of music blurring the lines between ersatz and authenticity, at least the ‘Rock Band‘ game is a tribute to rock rather than an affront.
436
People who want the most approval get the least and people who need approval the least get the most.
437
It is a very busy mission: every day has some major goals that we have to get through, but my experience before has been that at least in the evening, you kind of take a deep breath and look around where you are and have some downtime.
438
439
440
I want to go and go, and then drop dead in the middle of something I’m loving to do. And if that doesn’t happen, if I wind up sitting in a wheelchair, at least I’ll have my high heels on.
441
I can’t solve the world’s problems, can’t even begin to contemplate them all. But on my little corner of Earth, I at least can try to live in a way that treads lightly.
442
Men of genius sometimes accomplish most when they work the least, for they are thinking out inventions and forming in their minds the perfect idea that they subsequently express with their hands.
443
I always wanted to experience 50 games at least in a season because all the top players in the world, they do that every year.
444
445
People who have no stake in society are the least likely to have respect for it.
446
I never thought much of the courage of a lion tamer. Inside the cage he is at least safe from people.
447
448
I’m not saying I look cool, but every single time I go onstage, it is a fail if I don’t feel like I’m going to pass out at least twice.
449
Men of lofty genius sometimes accomplish the most when they work least, for their minds are occupied with their ideas and the perfection of their conceptions, to which they afterwards give form.
450
I’ll do at least one action film every year because of my fans. This is my promise to them.
451
452
The money I have made and will be making means nothing to me compared to the fact that about half of the black people I meet – ranging from the most sophisticated to the least sophisticated – say to me, ‘I’m proud of you.’ I feel strongly about always earning that and never letting black people down.
453
I’m scammed almost every day. Or, if not scammed, at the very least someone tries to scam me. Usually more than once a day.
454
Most fashion photography is done by gay people finding women sexy – which is sort of not sexy at all, at least to a heterosexual man.
455
My priority is my books, at least at this point. What I have to do is write the narrative of this time.
456
457
458
The ‘democracy gap‘ in our politics and elections spells a deep sense of powerlessness by people who drop out, do not vote, or listlessly vote for the ‘least worst’ every four years and then wonder why after every cycle the ‘least worst’ gets worse.
459
If we are not our brother’s keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.
460
461
462
Plays are a pretty big commitment. It takes a minimum of three months out of your life, really. And if you have family or kids, then at least during the rehearsal period for five or six weeks, you kind of say goodbye to everybody.
463
I was a musical theatre kid, which meant you could always find me singing or dancing in the halls with at least four other people.
464
I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow; if I fail, or if I succeed at least I did as I believe.
465
The bosses can’t read your mind, so I think women should tell them what they want out of their careers. And so I think that if you’re just a good person, you work hard, you say ‘yes,’ and you are driven, you will eventually work your way to the top. At least, that’s how it’s been for me.
466
Say what you want about George W. Bush, but the guy is a man’s man. He means what he says, and he says what he means. Whether you agree with the Texan or not, at least one always knows where they stand with him.
467
If I don’t laugh at least 20 times a day – it hasn’t been a good day.
468
I followed my heart and figured that if I tried and failed, at least I’d know that I tried.
469
Romantic lovers require from each other at least the facade of reason: We desire to be what romantic love makes us appear in the other’s eyes. We want to imagine we are deserving of the love we inspire.
470
471
I have friends, political scientists, sociologists, who all share an interest at least in certain kinds of science fiction.
472
473
I lost my father four years ago to what was the culmination of a manic episode that seemingly, to my family, came completely out of the blue after 59 years on this earth with no issues that we knew about, at least – sort of a normal run-of-the-mill guy who did his job and came home and had a family.
474
475
I don’t even like old cars. I’d rather have a goddam horse. A horse is at least human, for God’s sake.
476
You always put some goal in your mind and you try to reach it. If you don’t reach it, that’s fine because you at least had something to look forward to.
477
When I was playing, I always preferred to be meeting a side like the Faroe Isles or San Marino early doors. Do things right in those games, and you knew you would get six points on the board, at least be up and running and challenging in the group.
478
It’s challenging, but you have to at least try to eat right and exercise.
479
When I came to Swansea, no one said to me: ‘Whatever happens you’re going to be No. 1.’ But I felt I would at least have the chance to start or be given an opportunity and then it would be up to me to take it.
480
The proper study of Man is anything but Man; and the most improper job of any man, even saints (who at any rate were at least unwilling to take it on), is bossing other men. Not one in a million is fit for it, and least of all those who seek the opportunity.
481
I had been taught that if I cried, to be quiet about it, so whereas I never howled, the least thing made me cry both at school and at home. Crying tends to separate a child from other children, for even children dislike a cry baby, and I had no friends in the world.
482
483
484
My mother is most attached to my brother because she has the feeling that she could not provide him anything. By the time I was born, at least I got a meal and a half a day, but he sometimes got only water.
485
We all have a responsibility, and since I’ve been so wonderfully blessed, I really want to share and to make life at least a little better. So every chance I get to share the gospel or uplift people, I will take full advantage of that opportunity.
486
487
488
489
490
The path of least resistance and least trouble is a mental rut already made. It requires troublesome work to undertake the alternation of old beliefs.
491
At the end of the day, somebody someday is going to say something about you. At least you can look back and say you lived the way you wanted to.
492
I’m not a traditional sonero, at least not in the way they want me to be, I’m an interpreter, and I reach people in a different level.
493
If I may take the liberty to speak for science at least, today his name and his prizes are without a peer in the world. He not only elevates science but he influences it as well.
494
God has given such brave soldiers to this Crown that, if they do not frighten our neighbours, at least they prevent us from being frightened by them.
495
Forced labor affects the most vulnerable and least protected people, perpetuating a vicious cycle of poverty and dependency. Women, low-skilled migrant workers, children, indigenous peoples, and other groups suffering discrimination on different grounds are disproportionately affected.
496
497
498
You never know how long Federer is going to play, but in my opinion he has at least one or two more grand slams to win. It depends how long he stays motivated. For me, he is the greatest player to ever play the game.
499
If I get the forty additional years statisticians say are likely coming to me, I could fit in at least one, maybe two new lifetimes. Sad that only one of those lifetimes can include being the mother of young children.
500
501
502
503
I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it’s pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living.
504
When anyone starts out to do something creative – especially if it seems a little unusual – they seek approval, often from those least inclined to give it. But a creative life cannot be sustained by approval, any more than it can be destroyed by criticism – you learn this as you go on.
505
506
I just want young people to read my books and feel cared for, feel safe, feel like there’s someone else in the world who understands – or at least acknowledges – your existence.
507
Acupuncture was a saving grace. It helps more than anything else I tried. Everyone with endometriosis should give acupuncture a shot, at least once.
508
I try to wear $1 million a day. At least.
509
You could just do independent movies, but I like bigger kind of studio movies, at least some of them.
510
My least favorite phrase in the English language is ‘I don’t care.’
511
512
513
Libertarians recognize the inevitable pluralism of the modern world and for that reason assert that individual liberty is at least part of the common good.
514
It’s no secret that I didn’t love ‘An Officer And A Gentleman’ then, and I certainly don’t love it now, so at least no one could accuse me of being inconsistent.
515
Men who care passionately for women attach themselves at least as much to the temple and to the accessories of the cult as to their goddess herself.
516
The United States is afraid of China; it is not a military threat to anyone and is the least aggressive of all the major military powers.
517
There’s not a single man in this world who has not cheated on his woman at least once!
518
At least Russia and China didn’t call us names when we smiled sweetly at America.
519
I am personally not against keeping animals at zoos, as they serve a huge educational purpose, but treating them well and with respect seems the least we could do, and with ‘we’ I mean not just zoo staff, but most certainly also the public.
520
I loved growing up in Canada. It’s a great place to grow up because – well, at least where I grew up – it’s very multicultural. There’s also good health care and a good education system.
521
522
523
I like all my characters in one way or another, or at least I understand them.
524
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.
525
Growing up near Scarsdale, I should have had at least one Jewish girlfriend. Maybe at some point it’ll happen.
526
People in Hollywood don’t have that much sex, or at least I don’t.
527
528
For a time, at least, I was the most famous person in the entire world.
529
530
531
My least favorite ingredient to cook with is black pepper.
532
533
People think of teachers who are born to teach, and you think of all these charismatic folks. Some of the most successful teachers are some of the least charismatic, interestingly. But they have a gift of figuring out what motivates people.
534
535
536
537
The questions which one asks oneself begin, at least, to illuminate the world, and become one’s key to the experience of others.
538
Words of wisdom are spoken by children at least as often as scientists.
539
And ‘tis remarkable that they talk most who have the least to say.
540
Some people plant in the spring and leave in the summer. If you’re signed up for a season, see it through. You don’t have to stay forever, but at least stay until you see it through.
541
542
Some facts should be suppressed, or, at least, a just sense of proportion should be observed in treating them.
543
Those who know the least obey the best.
544
If I can’t get the girl, at least give me more money.
545
The science supporting the relationship between carbohydrates and dementia is quite exciting, as it paves the way for lifestyle changes that can profoundly affect a person’s chances of remaining intact, at least from a brain perspective.
546
For food service industry and retail, I’m for the minimum wage being increased to at least $12. Not for manufacturing. Software and robotics are going to revolutionize manufacturing in the next 10 years. In the meantime, we have to compete with overseas manufacturing.
547
I consider skateboarding an art form, a lifestyle and a sport. ‘Action sport’ would be the least offensive categorization.
548
You learn a lot about love before you ever get there. You learn at least as much about love from books as you do from watching your parents.
549
550
551
552
553
554
Life isn’t always black and white. You’re not always sure you’re right. At least I’m not.
555
As long as you’ve got your courage of conviction, it works for you. I think that the same applies, too, even where you don’t, because in today’s world, financial resources are the least important. World has moved to the power of ideas.
556
557
The path of least resistance is the path of the loser.
558
You gotta try your luck at least once a day, because you could be going around lucky all day and not even know it.
559
560
I hate the human race. Of course, therefore, I hate myself the most, because I am the least of the human race.
561
Scriptwriting is the toughest part of the whole racket… the least understood and the least noticed.
562
If life is tough, at least you got that thing you can pawn.
563
I’m reasonably optimistic about the future, especially the future of the United States – for the century, at least.
564
Protecting the rights of even the least individual among us is basically the only excuse the government has for even existing.
565
566
We are on the road 250-280 days a year at least, and it’s something that, if I have a wife and kids at home, I don’t know if I could do it.
567
568
I attack ideas. I don’t attack people. And some very good people have some very bad ideas. And if you can’t separate the two, you gotta get another day job. You don’t want to be a judge. At least not a judge on a multi-member panel.
569
Do no dishonour to the earth least you dishonour the spirit of man.
570
571
572
573
But I think talent as a writer is hard-wired in, it’s all there, at least the basic elements of it. You can’t change it any more than you can choose whether to be right handed or left handed.
574
575
And we should consider every day lost on which we have not danced at least once. And we should call every truth false which was not accompanied by at least one laugh.
576
In the case of the armies at Fredericksburg it would have been, to say the least, very hazardous to give counter-attack, the Federal position being about as strong as ours from which we had driven them back.
577
Women I’ve known have always been quite strong and confident women. Sure, I’ve got some friends who aren’t so overtly confident, or at least don’t appear that way. But when you get to know them, they are very much so.
578
Without a moral framework, there is nothing left but immediate self-indulgence by some and the path of least resistance by others. Neither can sustain a free society.
579
The least of things with a meaning is worth more in life than the greatest of things without it.
580
Nobody will deny that there is at least some roughness everywhere.
581
582
Aviation is the branch of engineering that is least forgiving of mistakes.
583
The best solution is very much the least expensive and most creative.
584
585
The purpose of art actually is, in many cases, to make you feel quite uncomfortable. Or at least to go to that place that’s already of discomfort inside of you and tap into that.
586
