I live a very joyful life, with a lot of laughter and good times.

Taylor Kinney
139
I do think there is a lot of potential if you have a compelling product and people are willing to pay a premium for that. I think that is what Apple has shown.

140
If anything, taxes for the lower and middle class and maybe even the upper middle class should even probably be cut further. But I think that people at the high end – people like myself – should be paying a lot more in taxes. We have it better than we’ve ever had it.
141
I run six-to-eight miles a day, plus weights and aerobics in the lunch hour. I also lie a lot, which keeps me thin.

164

I think people who have faults are a lot more interesting than people who are perfect.
189
No grand idea was ever born in a conference, but a lot of foolish ideas have died there.
190
I spent a lot of money on booze, birds and fast cars. The rest I just squandered.
191
Lot’s wife, of course, was told not to look back where all those people and their homes had been. But she did look back, and I love her for that, because it was so human.
192
There’s a lot of optimism in changing scenery, in seeing what’s down the road.
193
I was an only child and I had a mother and father who were just – there wasn’t a straight man in the house, and I mean that in a very nice way. They were fun, and we would laugh a lot.
194
You know, I look like a woman but I think like a man. And in this world of business, that has helped me a lot. Because by the time they think that I don’t know what’s goin’ on, I then got the money, and gone.
195
In life, you can blame a lot of people and you can wallow in self-pity, or you can pick yourself up and say, ‘Listen, I have to be responsible for myself.’
196
Just build your brand from day one, man. Your brand is your name, basically. A lot of people don’t know that they need to build their brand, your brand is what keeps you moving.
197
I am convinced that material things can contribute a lot to making one’s life pleasant, but, basically, if you do not have very good friends and relatives who matter to you, life will be really empty and sad and material things cease to be important.
198
I’m such a good lover because I practice a lot on my own.
199
A lot of people think I’m just an athletic thug.
200
I was born and brought up in the countryside. I used to live in a sort of converted stables on the grounds of a castle, and I spent a lot of my childhood running around with a pretend sword pretending to be Robert the Bruce.
201
For me, education has never been simply a policy issue – it’s personal. Neither of my parents and hardly anyone in the neighborhood where I grew up went to college. But thanks to a lot of hard work and plenty of financial aid, I had the opportunity to attend some of the finest universities in this country.
202
I’m much more confident with crypto than with banks or fiat currency because I can actually control it, and the money supply is transparent, stated up front. It makes online shopping a lot easier and a lot safer.
203
I remember how being young and black and gay and lonely felt. A lot of it was fine, feeling I had the truth and the light and the key, but a lot of it was purely hell.
204
Life is one long decay, no? There’s a lot of beauty in it. Like the patina in an old city.
Urs Fischer
205
I used to watch a lot of motivational films and videos to remain positive.
206
I still have a lot to learn, and I still have a lot to prove.
207
I’m a pretty tough guy, you know. I’m a pretty hard man. I’ve got a lot of compassion, but I don’t waste time with people.
208
My idea of professionalism is probably a lot of people’s idea of obsessive.
209
I might have had a tough break; but I have an awful lot to live for.
Lou Gehrig
210
A lot of people have their big dreams and get knocked down and don’t have things go their way. And you never give up hope, and you really just hold on to it. Hard work and perserverance. You just keep getting up and getting up, and then you get that breakthrough.
211
Asian parents, or a lot of parents in general, they have no idea what goes on in this industry. Mine were born in the Philippines, where it’s different, because it is about who you know, and who knows what you have to do to get to the top? So they had a lot of that skepticism.
Manny Jacinto
212
There are a lot of ups and downs. But there are always people who have it worse.
213
When I first got to Madrid, Cannavaro helped me loosen up a lot. The rule was that I could attack as long as I sprinted back. But if I was late? Man, then it got real. The man could yell.
214
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.
215
Success begets success. I’ve been offered a lot of movies now that ’30 Rock‘ has been successful.
216
Once you have a lot of success, you become a target in many ways.
217
I’ve taken a lot of risks through the years, but I always followed my instincts and always explored new opportunities. The biggest reward has been having an idea and being able to make it a reality. My passions always lead the way – travel and adventure, fitness, art, and home.
218
I don’t want to get typecast and I’ve been doing a lot of stuff to make that happen and not be the case.
219
A house full of new furniture doesn’t mean a whole lot.
220
We came to Canada as refugees from Africa and worked hard for everything we have. I think my life can show people that a lot is possible if you stay true to yourself and don’t let yourself be led astray.
221
I think a lot of self-importance is a product of fear. And fear, living in sort of an un-self-examined fear-based life, tends to lead to narcissism and self-importance.
222
Boxing is a lot of white men watching two black men beat each other up.
223
When you have to cope with a lot of problems, you’re either going to sink or you’re going to swim.
224
Most of the people that I deal with are human. So I’ve had a lot of experience with that.
225
A hexagonal piece of cheese is a lot better than a square piece of cheese.
Hod Lipson
226
Being healthy is the crown that only the sick can see. A lot of times, we take it for granted.
227
Organic food is the best for you, and I’m eating the best, a lot of fresh vegetables. I also keep myself hydrated. It’s all made a big difference to my performance in the gym.
228
I spent a lot of time on recce. It is a kind of creative chaos, but I like the sense of creative serendipity.
229
Regrets are something you can’t really have as an actor, because ultimately you’ll end up destroying yourself… there’s a lot of disappointment in this business.
230
The way I make art – the way a lot of people make art – is as an extension of language and communication, where references are incredibly important.
231
I never regret or sit back and think that I shouldn’t have said something. There are a lot of people who tell me that you shouldn’t say this or that or should keep quiet, and I really think that I can either be true to my conscience or can live a fake life by staying quiet.
232
I think a simple rule of business is, if you do the things that are easier first, then you can actually make a lot of progress.
233
Jin-hyung had a lot of cool parts in ‘Fake Love.’ Jin-hyung is the main character.
234
I’m investing. I’m taking a lot of bitcoin, selling it as the price goes up, and putting it into real estate. Because then if bitcoin goes to zero – which, it’s an experiment, it could – I won’t be on the street.
Charlie Shrem
235
I did quite a lot of menial jobs. I was a waiter, an inventory clerk touring round properties listing cups and saucers, and a laserquest marshal.
236
I think a lot of what I do is for my own personal healing.
237
The cars we drive say a lot about us.
Alexandra Paul
238
Kissing a man with a beard is a lot like going to a picnic. You don’t mind going through a little bush to get there!
Minnie Pearl
239
I’m more about mind over muscle. My mindset needs to be the fittest, because it drags my body through whatever needs to be done. A lot of people neglect training their mind and their self-belief, but I believe that’s crucial.
240
If you look at space companies, they’ve failed either because they’ve had a technical solution where success was not a possible outcome, they were unable to attract a critical mass of talent, or they just ran out of money. The finish line is usually a lot further away than you think.
241
A lot of what is most beautiful about the world arises from struggle.
242
I have made a lot of mistakes, but I am proud of them all.
243
Being a captain means a lot – it’s not just about wearing the armband.
244
My skin is hard when it comes to my music. But with my movies, I’m still a virgin in a lot of ways. I’m not used to being shot down for no reason.
245
Destiny has a lot to do with it, but so do you. You have to persevere, you have to insist.
246
I like to play cards. I’m not very good, because I don’t want to calculate, I just play by instinct. But I’ve learned a lot of business philosophy by playing poker.
247
We have a lot to gain through furthering stem cell research, but medical breakthroughs should be fundamentally about saving, not destroying, human life. Therefore, I support stem cell research that does not destroy the embryo.
248
There’s definitely a lot of responsibility to keep the good energy going.
249
George Carlin‘s album, ‘Class Clown,’ came out when I was in high school. I memorized a lot of that album. I’d come home from school, put it on, and listen over and over. I started memorizing it. I don’t even know why. I loved it so much I memorized it.
250
If you fight angry, you make a lot of mistakes, and when you fight a sharp, witty fighter like me, you can’t make mistakes.
251
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
252
I’ve had a lot of plastic surgery, and I’m completely honest about it.
253
I always say: ‘Share your happiness with the world, give other people that happiness and let it come back,’ but some things make me question it. I don’t know if I want some people to know that I am happy. I think a lot of people want to take it away from you, and that’s really scary.
254
I don’t pay good wages because I have a lot of money; I have a lot of money because I pay good wages.
Robert Bosch
255
In open source, we feel strongly that to really do something well, you have to get a lot of people involved.
256
You get a lot of accommodations for being on scholarship, but there is too much money floating around in the NCAA to not be giving it to the people earning it.
257
Effective philanthropy requires a lot of time and creativity – the same kind of focus and skills that building a business requires.
258
I have a lot to be thankful for. I am healthy, happy and I am loved.
259
I don’t like to spend a lot of money on haircuts: I’ll sometimes grow my hair and get an acting job and get them to cut it for free. I think for a lady, though, it’s okay to spend a lot on a haircut.
260
I’ve been very careful to always make clear that I am a real person. That’s why I’m on social media a lot.
261
Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we’re scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don’t have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own ‘to do’ list.
262
I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.
263
Pro wrestling is not fake; it’s sports entertainment. We go out there and we perform, and a lot of what we do out there is real, but we’re not going to insult anyone’s intelligence – there is a predetermined winner. It’s just the fans don’t know who it is, and that’s what makes it so intriguing.
264
I’m learning a lot about myself being alone, and doing what I’m doing.
265
The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.
266
You can only do three things with your money. You can spend it. You can invest it. Or you can give it away. And if you invest it, you’re really just getting more money to give away or buy something. How many things can you buy? So I don’t really think there’s a lot of choices.
267
Anyone who says he can see through women is missing a lot.
268
I feel a lot of support from the people of Penrith and the Blue Mountains and will always remember the amazing welcome home I received after the London Olympics. But more importantly, it’s during hard times that Westies come together.
Jessica Fox
269
I’ve been through a lot of experiences in my life being in the biggest band in the world.
270
There are quite a lot of YouTube clips of me that have gone viral. One that I think of is of a young woman at a lecture I was giving – she came from Liberty University, which is a ludicrous religious institution. She said, ‘What if you are wrong?’ and I answered that rather briefly, and that’s gone viral.
271
So that the record of history is absolutely crystal clear. That there is no alternative way, so far discovered, of improving the lot of the ordinary people that can hold a candle to the productive activities that are unleashed by a free enterprise system.
272
You learn a lot more when you’re going through a rough period compared to the good times when everything goes your way.
273
My parents couldn’t give me a whole lot of financial support, but they gave me good genes. My dad is a handsome son-of-a-gun, and my mom is beautiful. And I’ve definitely been the lucky recipient. So, thank you, Mom and Dad.
274
It’s been a long road for me, with a lot of ups and downs. Thankfully there have been more ups than there have been downs. For me, what brings me down has only made me stronger because of it.
275
I don’t think a lot of people understand the situations I’ve been involved in and the way I grew up. I took myself away from it and made something out of a bad situation.
276
‘Crazy’ is a term of art; ‘Insane‘ is a term of law. Remember that, and you will save yourself a lot of trouble.
277
I used to own two homes in Atlanta. But it was a lot of trouble. There are leaky roofs; you have to call people. It takes up too much time to own property everywhere. Now I stay at the St. Regis. I used to like cars a lot, too. I had 25 of them: Porsches, Ferraris.
Aliko Dangote
278
A lot of artists that I’ve met let me know they’re huge fans of mine.
279
A lot of people tend to chew up the scenery. I’m a firm believer in less is more, especially on the big screen.
280
People bought bitcoin because they thought it would be worth more tomorrow. And a lot of people got lucky. But we’re not seeing real people use bitcoin. And we don’t know what problem it solves. Now, blockchain, I think, is a genius advancement in technology.
281
I tell you, gospel music is very uplifting. It’s great. It’s just a lot of fun to write, and it’s wonderful for the heart, soul, mind, and spirit. It’s just great.
282
Results! Why, man, I have gotten a lot of results. I know several thousand things that won’t work.
283
People think modeling‘s mindless, that you just stand there and pose, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I like to have a lot of input. I know how to wear a dress, whether it should be shot with me standing or sitting.
284
I’ve learned a lot. I’ve seen a lot. I’ve grown a lot.
285
A lot of people believe Italian food is tasty because there are a lot of ingredients. But they don’t understand that the reason why it’s tasty is because there are less ingredients than in any other cuisine.
286
When I was very young, most of my childhood heroes wore capes, flew through the air, or picked up buildings with one arm. They were spectacular and got a lot of attention. But as I grew, my heroes changed, so that now I can honestly say that anyone who does anything to help a child is a hero to me.
287
I like vintage a lot.
288
Football is about sacrifice, dedication, a lot of work, and friendship off the pitch.
289
In football, I don’t have a lot of friends. The people who I really trust, there are not many… Most of the time, I’m alone.
290
I suppose there are a lot of reasons to be jaded or sarcastic or bitter in life, but I hang on to the reasons why life is beautiful.
291
I sort of set myself really high standards which is good and bad. If I know that I’ve done all I can to prepare, that’s when I race the best and in ’09 I was going through a lot of emotional ups and downs and I was never as fit as I would have liked to have been. So I never felt comfortable.
Stephanie Rice
292
As my kids grow up, I think a lot about the lessons and values I want to impart to them. More than any particular skill or even financial support, I believe perseverance and resilience will serve them best, regardless of what curveball life inevitably throws them.
293
I’m now comfortable playing a lot of the old songs, and I’ve gotten out a lot of the old equipment.
294
In this hectic life, we have no time to take care of ourselves, hence massage is needed for rejuvenation and stress reduction. A lot of people are looking for quick fixes: like, they are taking medications, and they are doing other things which are not healthy. But massage is very holistic and natural.
295
There’s a lot of automation that can happen that isn’t a replacement of humans but of mind-numbing behavior.
296
There’s no prerequisites to worthiness. You’re born worthy, and I think that’s a message a lot of women need to hear.
297
You don’t appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.
298
You don’t even realise how much you need Internet, but it really stops you from doing a lot.
299
A lot of cinematography is intuition. It’s an art, not a formula.
300
The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them.
301
When you’re singing, you’re using extra muscles, and it requires a lot of exercise and breathing. You can’t do that if you’re a sissy. If I have any fitness advice for people, I’d tell them to sing more. It’s good therapy, too.
302
Well, I was 29 years old when I came to the United States Senate, and I have learned a lot.
303
I never wanted to give in to my condition. My life changed a lot but I didn’t want it to change my dreams or goals.
304
I have a lot of respect for Martin Luther King. I think he was one of the greatest orators that the country ever produced.
305
Politics organizes our lives. We can’t disregard it. Politics has lot of muck, lot of dirt. But that doesn’t mean you have to be away from it. It’s ubiquitous.
306
I’m always looking for a new challenge. There are a lot of mountains to climb out there. When I run out of mountains, I’ll build a new one.
307
I am a bad boy. I don’t come across clearly to a lot of people, so I am bad for them.
308
I’ve had a lot of success; I’ve had failures, so I learn from the failure.
309
You know, I don’t play the race card a lot. I’m half-black, half-white, and I’m proud of – my skin is brown. The world sees me as a black man, but my mother didn’t raise me as a black man. She didn’t raise me as a white guy.
310
I say ‘here’s the thing’ a lot, both to alert people that I’m about to say something important and to give myself a moment to figure out what that important thing might be, because my head is so often completely empty.
311
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.
312
A boy can learn a lot from a dog: obedience, loyalty, and the importance of turning around three times before lying down.
313
I experienced bullying a lot. I was an only child, and I was kind of a small kid with a big mouth, and so I always got myself in trouble.
314
With all the globalisation that has taken place, countries are a lot more interdependent and therefore ‘coupled.’
315
If people sat outside and looked at the stars each night, I’ll bet they’d live a lot differently.
316
We all strive for balance, often moving to extremes to find ourselves somewhere in the middle where we can sustainably exist in optimal inspiration. Working toward balance takes a lot of ingredients. We need courage, reflection, attention, action, and a push-and-pull relationship between effort and relaxation.
317
There’s a lot of ‘Silent Hill’ in the Upside Down, which people have noticed.
318
In Scotland, I’m just like a lot of other guys, but in America, I’m seen as a very strong, masculine guy.
319
I keep telling myself to calm down, to take less of an interest in things and not to get so excited, but I still care a lot about liberty, freedom of speech and expression, and fairness in journalism.
320
I think a lot of kids feel alone and slightly isolated and in their own world.
321
I’m lucky to be surrounded by incredibly talented people at Pixar, of course, and I learn a lot from them each and every day.
322
The best way to have a good idea is to have a lot of ideas.
Linus Pauling
323
I wish they’d had electric guitars in cotton fields back in the good old days. A whole lot of things would’ve been straightened out.
324
So many diseases and illnesses have fundamental roots in the lack of clean water. Resolving the clean water crisis would mitigate a lot of problems.
325
You may go through a lot of good times, you may go through a lot of bad times, you just have to try to prepare yourself as best as you can, and for me, that’s just sticking with my family.
326
It takes a lot of time to be a genius, you have to sit around so much doing nothing, really doing nothing.
327
I think beta males on an evolutionary basis are much more successful than the alpha males are. You don’t hear much about us, but there’s a lot more of us out there.
328
The intersection of law, politics, and technology is going to force a lot of good thinking.
329
I’d say I’m moody, I’d say I’m temperamental. But within my certain group of friends and family, I’m very open and outgoing and joke around a lot.
330
I spend a lot of time upside down. It increases the blood flow to the brain, so it really helps your creativity.
331
I grew up Catholic and still feel a lot of Catholic guilt. But my wife is not religious so we’re not raising our daughters religiously.
332
I am looking for a lot of men who have an infinite capacity to not know what can’t be done.
333
I look at a lot of artists. I’m inspired by – I suppose I shouldn’t say ‘inspired,’ but it’s not really influenced. I am inspired. Art comes from art.
Cy Twombly
334
Any intelligent fool can make things bigger and more complex… It takes a touch of genius – and a lot of courage to move in the opposite direction.
E. F. Schumacher
335
I was a poor kid. I came from nothing. We didn’t have any money; a lot of times we didn’t have any food, and now, all of a sudden, I’m a superhero in a Marvel movie? Talk about the American dream, man – I’m living it.
336
You don’t know what people are really like until they’re under a lot of stress.
337
It takes a lot of energy to be negative. You have to work at it. But smiling is painless. I’d rather spend my energy smiling.
338
A lot of us have energy that we can tap into. We sell ourselves short.
339
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.
340
No one will improve your lot if you do not yourself.
341
The reason a lot of people do not recognize opportunity is because it usually goes around wearing overalls looking like hard work.
342
‘Shine On You Crazy Diamond‘ and ‘Wish You Were Here’ are standout tracks. ‘Comfortably Numb’ is another one. ‘High Hopes‘ from ‘The Division Bell’ is one of my favorite all-time Pink Floyd tracks. ‘The Great Gig in the Sky,’ ‘Echoes,’ there’s lot of them.
343
I have a lot of other stuff to accomplish before I get to kids. Whenever the time is right, I’ll just know. If I had a girl, she’d probably be really rebellious. She would be like a bundle of karma. I would love to bring them up in Barbados.
344
People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
345
We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.
346
There comes a point in your life when you realize how quickly time goes by, and how quickly it has gone. Then it really speeds up exponentially. With that, I think you start to put a lot of things into context; you start to see how huge the world is, and really, the universe.
347
A lot of fashion is really inspired by vintage and it’s the forefront of fashion.
348
Racism and sexism, misogyny and homophobia, they’re so visible. They’re out in the open. When they’re visible, it’s a lot easier to deal with them.
349
I named my new son James Joseph Brown II. I think he’s going to be a lot better than I was.
350
Now I’m president. I get to meet a lot of other company presidents. They’re such weird people. I’m fascinated by them. I use some of them as enemy characters in our games.
351
Self-talk, for me, has been the biggest thing in my life. A lot of us have a dialogue that is crap. It’s a crappy dialogue. We live in a world right now that is very external. Everything is very on the surface. Superficial. Everything. And what we’re telling ourselves is what we see on TV.
352
There’s a lot more power in calm than in vituperation.
353
I’m fascinated with myself and love hearing the sound of my own voice. I’d like to hear what I have to say. A lot of people don’t like being alone because they truly don’t like themselves, but I love me.
354
Behind every successful man there’s a lot of unsuccessful years.
355
I think everyone should experience defeat at least once during their career. You learn a lot from it.
356
My job is making money, helping other people make money. I am spending money, trying to make sure more people get rich, because you cannot spend a lot of money, right? So my job is spending money, helping others. This is a headache.
357
A lot of times the interview relies not so much on the interviewee, but on the interviewer.
358
Adapt yourself to the things among which your lot has been cast and love sincerely the fellow creatures with whom destiny has ordained that you shall live.
359
I’ve always worked on the principle that if it interests me enough to write about it, then it must interest a lot of other people.
Morris West
360
It doesn’t take a lot of strength to hang on. It takes a lot of strength to let go.
361
School, I never truly got the knack of. I could never focus on things I didn’t want to learn. Math is just the worst. To this day, I can’t concentrate on it. People always say, ‘You should have tried harder.’ But actually, I cheated a lot because I could not sit and do homework.
362
When you don’t know that you don’t know, it’s a lot different than when you do know that you don’t know.
363
A lot of people think that addiction is a choice. A lot of people think it’s a matter of will. That has not been my experience. I don’t find it to have anything to do with strength.
364
I’ve worked under a lot of managers, whether it’s the national team or at St Mirren and everyone has their moments. I think it is important, you can’t just let things pass if they are not good enough.
365
In all my characters, I try to find an iota of myself, and in Castle, I found a lot. He gets away with a lot, so that’s fun.
366
I’m very mature for my age, but I’m also innocent in a lot of ways.
367
Being able to give someone a hug from the heart, it’s healing. It’s healing for yourself and healing for others, and we need a lot of that.
368
Working with great people makes you great; you learn a lot and it also gives you the experience and confidence to move on with your own career.
369
You always hear the phrase, money doesn’t buy you happiness. But I always in the back of my mind figured a lot of money will buy you a little bit of happiness. But it’s not really true. I got a new car because the old one‘s lease expired.
370
There is a lot I need to thank God for, everyday. But I think I am blessed because I have a very loving, understanding and supporting family.
371
To be frank, it sometimes seems that the American idea of freedom has more to do with my freedom to do what I want than your freedom to do what you want. I think that, in Europe, we’re probably better at understanding how to balance those competing claims, though not a lot.
372
Vision 2030 is about a lot of big opportunities, so Aramco is one of them, Neom another opportunity.
373
I had no idea that being your authentic self could make me as rich as I’ve become. If I had, I’d have done it a lot earlier.
374
Beauty has a lot to do with character.
375
A lot of times, people are reserved or maybe scared of testing what your body is capable of. I’m not.
376
As a pilot, I can tell you drones may be a lot of things; airplanes they are not.
377
I have taken lot of risks in life, and I believe that life is about taking risks.
378
I have had bad luck with injuries, but I can’t keep saying I’ve been injured a lot.
379
Inspiration can come from anywhere, and a lot of the time, it depends on how you feel when you get up in the morning.
Tyler Shaw
380
I put a lot of pressure on myself. I think something’s not good enough, and I won’t stop until I feel like I’ve made it. I’m never satisfied.
381
If I wasn’t Bob Dylan, I’d probably think that Bob Dylan has a lot of answers myself.
382
It always feels good to come back here. I love New York… it’s just nice to see a lot of familiar faces.
Latrell Sprewell
383
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. I wouldn’t say musically, though.
Future
384
A lot of people who have experienced trauma at the hands of people they’ve trusted take responsibility, and that is what’s toxic.
385
Fishing is quite a good metaphor for life. You do your prep, you do your thinking, you put your bait out, and you wait, confident that you’ve done your groundwork. But a lot of life is luck.
386
A lot of people told me I should be quiet about being bisexual and not say anything, but for me this is a part of my identity.
387
My mom has beautiful eyes, and I inherited a lot of her rituals, accentuating eyes.
388
I have done a lot of crazy things in my life, and I do not regret anything.
389
Want to learn to eat a lot? Here it is: Eat a little. That way, you will be around long enough to eat a lot.
390
Confidence has a lot to do with interviewing – that, and timing.
Michael Parkinson
391
Friendship brings in a lot of honesty and trust into any relationship, especially a marriage.
392
Knowing is not understanding. There is a great difference between knowing and understanding: you can know a lot about something and not really understand it.
393
We talk a lot about hope, helping, and teamwork. Our whole message is that we are more powerful together.
394
A lot of people go on this journey of finding themselves and then eventually realize that their true self wasn’t on the outside but it’s always been there.
395
Showing up is not all of life – but it counts for a lot.
396
For the most part, that message hasn’t changed a lot over the years – love is still love, and heartbreak is still heartbreak.
397
If you go back to 1800, everybody was poor. I mean everybody. The Industrial Revolution kicked in, and a lot of countries benefited, but by no means everyone.
398
When you’re doing good, everybody praises you. But when everything’s all gone, a lot of people are nowhere to be found. So you always just believe in yourself, do it yourself and you won’t be let down.
399
I like things that make you grit your teeth. I like tucking my chin in and sort of leading into the storm. I like that feeling. I like it a lot.
400
Child slavery is a crime against humanity. Humanity itself is at stake here. A lot of work still remains, but I will see the end of child labor in my lifetime.
401
I’d recommend anyone watch ‘Harold and Maude,’ ’cause it helps a lot with fear of death.
402
You know, when I have a bad game, it continues to humble me and know that, you know, you still have work to do and you still have a lot of people to impress.
403
I’m not as talented as others, but I have a determination and will that enable me to work a lot harder than anyone else.
404
There is a lot of noise out there. I don’t want to follow the trend – I want to create the trend.
405
A lot of people in our generation like to make excuses about little things that really don’t hinder them from doing what they want to. It always comes down to the work ethic.
406
The big difference between sex for money and sex for free is that sex for money usually costs a lot less.
407
There’s a lot of randomness in the decisions that people make.
408
Persuade thyself that imperfection and inconvenience are the natural lot of mortals, and there will be no room for discontent, neither for despair.
Tokugawa Ieyasu
409
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.
410
A friend is a lot of things, but a critic isn’t.
411
I don’t mind being older. I’m proud of my age. I’ve achieved a lot. It’s the same thing with Mick and the Stones. They should be revered and respected. Isn’t it strange that now we’re living longer we have so much less respect for old age? Perhaps it’s a less valuable commodity?
412
There’s a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven’t the time to enjoy it.
413
I really believe that all of us have a lot of darkness in our souls. Anger, rage, fear, sadness. I don’t think that’s only reserved for people who have horrible upbringings. I think it really exists and is part of the human condition. I think in the course of your life you figure out ways to deal with that.
414
Returns matter a lot. It’s our capital.
415
Once you’re a chess player, you spend a lot of time thinking about the game and you can’t get it completely out of your head.
416
A relationship requires a lot of work and commitment.
Greta Scacchi
417
I’ve had a lot of ridiculous haircuts.
418
My idol is Emile Zola. He was a man of the left, so people expected of him a kind of ‘Les Miserables,’ in which the underdogs are always noble people. But he went out, and found a lot of ambitious, drunk, slothful and mean people out there. Zola simply could not – and was not interested in – telling a lie.
419
A simple lifestyle can make you happy and high expectations can disappoint a lot.
420
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It’s not.
421
Marriage is miserable unless you find the right person that is your soulmate and that takes a lot of looking.
Marvin Gaye
422
I believe in throwing a lot of positive energy in the universe and hope for the best.
423
I think people forget that it doesn’t take a big donation to help someone, just a lot of little donations.
424
I had a lot of dates but I decided to stay home and dye my eyebrows.
425
I make a lot of money and I’m worth every cent.
426
I was very innocent and shielded as a child, so I didn’t know a lot about music or dancing. When I was in Primary Six, no one would participate in a talent show, so I decided to go on. When the audience applauded me, I felt euphoric, and I started dancing right after that!
Rain
427
There’s a lot of noise in the world, and the Internet magnifies that energy.
428
There are a lot of people who really abused sampling and gave it a bad name, by just taking people’s entire hit songs and rapping over them. It gave publishers license to get a little greedy.
429
And I’ve always worked on the principle that if it interests me enough to write about it, then it must interest a lot of other people.
Morris West
430
I go to Montreal a lot – maybe twice a year.
431
I think, a lot of times, people just want to be cool, and to be in love is not cool. But I think it’s the coolest. I think love is the coolest thing that there is.
432
I always say the minute I stop making mistakes is the minute I stop learning and I’ve definitely learned a lot.
433
People just see the shine. They don’t see the grind, the bags under my eyes. It was a lot of grinding, setbacks… I ain’t finna let nothing stop me. Wherever I stop at, I already know who I am.
Kodak Black
434
Whenever the price of cryptocurrency is rallying, people start spending a lot more.
435
You’ve gotta do things that make you happy. As women, we tend to give away a lot. We take care of a lot of people, and we can’t forget to take care of ourselves.
436
If you don’t know what you want, you end up with a lot you don’t.
437
It’s the journey of self, I guess. You start with this kind of loner, outside guy, which a lot of people can relate to, and he goes out into the world.
438
Don’t pretend to know everything. I’ve been blessed to work with a lot of veteran actors, and I soak up lessons from them like a sponge.
439
I’m grateful for every day I’m still alive. Everything is still working. I attribute it to eating a lot of processed foods. I think it’s the preservatives that keep me going. That, and I eat as much chocolate as I can get my hands on.
440
I had no friends. I worried a lot.
441
My body doesn’t have a lot of curves; I have small breasts, I don’t have hips – so I’m not going to try to make myself something that I’m not. I’m just going to try to be the best version of myself.
442
If heavy metal bands ruled the world, we’d be a lot better off.
443
The Internet is just bringing all kinds of information into the home. There’s just a lot of distraction, a lot of competition for the parent’s voice to resonate in the children’s ears.
444
If you dig it, do it. If you dig it a lot, do it twice.
Jim Croce
445
I’m a wrestler with nine toes. I’m a wrestler who has been through a lot of battles. I get to do a lot of motivational speaking, and people are blown away and say, ‘You never quit. You keep coming back.’
446
The problem is that at a lot of big companies, process becomes a substitute for thinking. You’re encouraged to behave like a little gear in a complex machine. Frankly, it allows you to keep people who aren’t that smart, who aren’t that creative.
447
A lot of what the ‘Culture’ is about is a reaction to all the science fiction I was reading in my very early teens.
448
I haven’t got a lot of patience.
Jeffrey Katzenberg
449
I’m not really good in public spaces, I’m not really good with people, I’m not really good at a lot of things.
450
Creating a book and creating a collection involve a lot of editing.
451
Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings, whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound, an accordion falling down a staircase, can somehow capture an emotion much better.
452
Soup is a lot like a family. Each ingredient enhances the others; each batch has its own characteristics; and it needs time to simmer to reach full flavor.
Marge Kennedy
453
I like playing sport, and I like doing physical stuff. I like hiking and I like climbing and I like playing sport. I do a lot. But I don’t like the term ‘exercising.’ I feel like with sport, you’re playing games. But with exercise, you’re literally just trying to stop yourself from dying too young. It’s weird.
454
Milestones have never really meant a lot. They probably will mean more when I’ve finished playing and actually reflect on what I have achieved.
455
War is big business. It’s a lot of money going to and fro, and unfortunately a lot of angst, and a lot of fear, and a lot of doubt. And eventually a lot of wonderful people, like soldiers, like men and women that are out there trying to do the best they can, they come back being wounded on many levels.
456
A lot of black guys always ask me, ‘Did Larry Bird really play that good?’ I said, ‘Larry Bird is so good it’s frightening.’
457
I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids around, and I definitely want to have children as well.
458
You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don’t take things for granted.
459
Social media, unfortunately, just makes it a lot easier to be jealous. It sets up false expectations of reality, so it’s really easy to look at someone else’s life online and assume that they have everything going great for them and that their life is perfect.
460
I have a lot of great memories, but I can’t imagine anything more exciting than the life I have now.
461
I’m not a film buff. I don’t watch a lot of movies.
462
I dated a lot, but I never really had anyone who was worthy of an anniversary. And most girlfriends never made it to a year, anyway.
463
My weak spot is laziness. Oh, I have a lot of weak spots: cookies, croissants.
464
I’m my own boss, my own editor, my own shooter, my own writer, everything. This is all stuff I learned through trial and errorfailing at a lot of things has taught me how to succeed at them eventually… you roll with the punches.
465
A lot of people always question, ‘What else can she do, what else can she do?’ And I’m going to show you.
466
I’ve done a lot of work to get where I’m at, but I have to keep working.
467
I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I’m not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person – love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship.
468
I have always… expected a lot from myself.
469
I think there’s a lot of different kinds of love: not just between a boyfriend and girlfriend, but love with your family, love with the people around you. I think that’s really important and, I think, would really be a good thing for the world and make a better world for everybody.
Suga
470
I just grew up watching a lot of movies. I’m attracted to this genre and that genre, this type of story, and that type of story. As I watch movies I make some version of it in my head that isn’t quite what I’m seeing – taking the things I like and mixing them with stuff I’ve never seen before.
471
There’s a lot of sacrifices you have to make to be the boss.
472
You can’t have F1 without Ferrari – you just can’t have it. It’s part of the theme that is the red car, and a lot of it is to do with the colour.
473
Life’s complicated and people do things for a lot of reasons.
474
Electronic medical records are, in a lot of ways, I think the aspect of technology that is going to revolutionize the way we deliver care. And it’s not just that we will be able to collect information, it’s that everyone involved in the healthcare enterprise will be able to use that information more effectively.
475
When you’ve seen a lot of bad stuff and just want to enjoy your life and be happy and have your kids happy and have your friends happy, you just have a value system where it raises the bar on what’s important.
476
I like cats a lot. I’ve always liked cats. They’re great company. When they eat, they always leave a little bit at the bottom of the bowl. A dog will polish the bowl, but a cat always leaves a little bit. It’s like an offering.
477
I am humbled, gratified and overjoyed at the dedication of the Martin Luther King Jr. National Memorial in commemoration of my father’s leadership. It of course means a lot to our family. But more important, it is a great step forward for America.
478
Whatever woman may cast her lot with mine, should any ever do so, it is my intention to do all in my power to make her happy and contented; and there is nothing I can imagine that would make me more unhappy than to fail in the effort.
479
Write your goals down in detail and read your list of goals every day. Some goals may entail a list of shorter goals. Losing a lot of weight, for example, should include mini-goals, such as 10-pound milestones. This will keep your subconscious mind focused on what you want step by step.
480
I cut off my dreadlocks, but I couldn’t face throwing them away. They were so hard to grow, man. There’s a lot of work goes into those things. Some people keep a diary or a photo album to remind them of their past lives – well, I’ve got hair. Who knows? One day, maybe my grandchildren might want to see it.
481
For a lot of people, most of their exposure to politics and politicians involves events on the campaign trail, interviews on cable news, or seeing a viral tweet here or there. But day to day, there’s so much more than anyone sees.
482
A lot of times when you keep it real with somebody, you can’t expect them to keep it real with you.
Gucci Mane
483
I’m not the strongest, I’m not the fastest, I can’t jump the highest, so for me, it’s doing it in other ways: changing paces, using your body to get open, knowing your defender. A lot goes into it. You have to study the game.
484
You just have to keep the same mentality of trying to prove yourself every single day. But it’s a lot of easier when you have people telling you how bad you are than when people are telling you how good you are.
485
If we give people the ability to buy a lot more because they can store a lot more, for a company that creates TV shows and movies, that’s fantastic.
486
If a lawyer, if a teacher, if a bus driver, if they’re on $40,000 and they get offered a lot more to go somewhere else, what do you think they’re going to do?
487
You’ll like this, not a lot, but you’ll like it.
Paul Daniels
488
With my music, I can express myself so much. A lot of the fans can sense that I’m relating to them something that’s quite personal.
489
A lot of people give up just before they’re about to make it. You know you never know when that next obstacle is going to be the last one.
490
Writing is my love. If you love something, you find a lot of time. I write for two hours a day, usually starting at midnight; at times, I start at 11.
491
My diet is mostly chicken and fish. I make sure I get a lot of vegetables, a lot of fruit. I am a big fruit man, I am a vegetable man anyway. And I also get a lot of rest. That’s the key I may be up early, but I’m in bed early too.
492
It’s easy to make a buck. It’s a lot tougher to make a difference.
493
Most people think when the world gets itself together, we’ll all be okay. I don’t see that situation arriving. I think one by one, we all free ourselves from the chains we have chained ourselves to. But I don’t think that suddenly some magic happens and the whole lot of us will all be liberated in one throw.
494
When I was younger, I used to do that a lot: I would hear a part of a song that would really relax me and then put it on repeat. That would send me to sleep. It was quite obvious classical music, people like Penguin Cafe Orchestra, Erik Satie, Claude Debussy, Maurice Ravel.
495
I wanted to go to drama school, but when I got the part in ‘Falling,’ I got an agent, so it seemed a good idea to work. I always did a lot of singing and dancing, so I am glad it worked out that way. I would like to study stage acting at some point, though.
496
Becoming famous was never what I wanted to do. There’s a lot of things that come with fame – it’s what people in the limelight have to do.
497
A lot of vets like ‘Good Morning Vietnam‘ – I get great letters from guys.
498
People would be a lot better off if they’d enjoy being single.
499
We all have dreams. But in order to make dreams come into reality, it takes an awful lot of determination, dedication, self-discipline, and effort.
Jesse Owens
500
I have a lot of natural gas on my properties.
501
You can tell a lot about a person from his underwear.
502
I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me – they’re cramming for their final exam.
503
Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There’s still time, but not a lot, to turn things around.
504
I have had unsuccessful films, but I learned a lot from those films. I give my failures as much importance as my success.
505
You look more like a legend when you accomplish a lot at a young age.
506
Leo Burke was an unbelievable trainer. Him and Tom Prichard. Tom Prichard was not a big guy. And I learned a lot from him.
507
I think after Sandy Hook, when Obama went out, and he talked a lot about gun control and met with the parents, there was a sense that something was going to happen. But then, I guess, the power of special interests was greater than public sentiment.
508
There’s an old joke that politics is Hollywood for ugly people. An awful lot of the press coverage about Washington reads like coverage of Hollywood. Madonna is having some spat with Sean Penn. Who cares? And who cares which politician is mad at that politician?
509
I plant a lot of trees. I am a great believer in planting things for future generations. I loathe the now culture where you just live for today.
Penelope Keith
510
My glasses say a lot about me because I think me in a pair of sunglasses is an image that a lot of people would recognise.
511
People learn something every day, and a lot of times it’s that what they learned the day before was wrong.
Bill Vaughan
512
It hasn’t always been easy. There’s a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.
513
I don’t know about a lot of things. I read a lot, but a lot of it just passes through me. I don’t retain much. I am kind of dumb that way. Or maybe ‘I am a simple man,’ is a better way to say it.
514
A lot of country music is sad. I think most art comes out of poverty and hard times. It applies to music. Three chords and the truth – that’s what a country song is. There is a lot of heartache in the world.
515
I would like to think I am a little bit of a man’s man and a ladies‘ man. I suppose, I’m a guy’s guy because I like to do a lot of, you know, the man stuff: Working out, off-roading, getting on the dirt bike and what not. I am a ladies’ man because I spend more time with girls than I do with guys.
516
I went to the carnival a lot. The carousel was my favorite ride as a kid.
517
I have a feeling that I make a very good friend, and I’m a good mother, and a good sister, and a good citizen. I am involved in life itself – all of it. And I have a lot of energy and a lot of nerve.
518
I don’t see myself as beautiful, because I can see a lot of flaws. People have really odd opinions. They tell me I’m skinny, as if that’s supposed to make me happy.
519
With any mannerisms or dialogue, you have to be careful you’re not just serving yourself. What happens with improving is a lot of times, if you’re not in the framework of the script, you’re just making everything easier so it fits you.
520
My justification is that most people my age spend a lot of time thinking about what they’re going to do for the next five or ten years. The time they spend thinking about their life, I just spend drinking.
521
A lot of people think international relations is like a game of chess. But it’s not a game of chess, where people sit quietly, thinking out their strategy, taking their time between moves. It’s more like a game of billiards, with a bunch of balls clustered together.
522
Basically my whole life revolves around soccer. I don’t take many vacations. Everything just gets put on the back burner because of my training. I miss out on a lot of weddings and family functions. But at the end of the day, I’m sitting here as a world champion, and it feels pretty good.
523
Let’s face it, a nice creamy chocolate cake does a lot for a lot of people; it does for me.
524
Everybody talks about wanting to change things and help and fix, but ultimately all you can do is fix yourself. And that’s a lot. Because if you can fix yourself, it has a ripple effect.
525
I’m healthy as can be – not an ache or a pain. A lot of my prayer is thanking the Lord that I am healthy. I pray for long life and good health.
526
Rhyme patterns are nothing without meanings to the words. A lot of rappers can do those flows, but the raps aren’t really about anything – which is cool sometimes, but to have the flow and the message is one of my favorite things.
527
I’ve been blessed to have a lot of mentors in my life that just have been good people and hard workers. Jae Crowder is one of them; Jimmy Butler is one of them.
528
We only have one life, and it is very precious, and there’s a lot we can do, and there’s a lot we should do.
529
I will not agree to go to war in the Donbass. I know there are a lot of hotheads, especially those who hold rallies and say, ‘Let’s go fight and win it all back!’ But at what price? What is the cost? It’s another story of lives and land. And I won’t do it.
530
I want to thank all our fans all around the world for their unconditional love and support. It really means a lot to me.
531
Great times, beautiful place, Boulder. In fact, that’s where I proposed to Jaye when I took her back there. In the parking lot of Baseline Liquors!
532
We’ve got to put a lot of money into changing behavior.
533
I don’t go to celebrity parties a lot. I don’t really enjoy them because I really like going for it in parties. And sometimes at celebrity parties, there is no dancing on tables because people… it can be a little judgmental at times. So I tend not to go unless it is Taylor Swift‘s birthday party; then it’s amazing.
534
I studied at Cathedral School, where a lot of kids go abroad after Class XII. But I was clear that I wanted to be an actress, and thus, even though I got 92% in my board exams, I applied only to Jai Hind College for Mass Communication and got in and completed my graduation.
535
In the globalized world that is ours, maybe we are moving towards a global village, but that global village brings in a lot of different people, a lot of different ideas, lots of different backgrounds, lots of different aspirations.
536
My hair is different than a lot of people’s. I like my hair. I like the fade. I like the little design I have. I’m cool with it. Obviously my hair is thin on top, so it looks like a bald spot, but I really could care less.
537
If people are good only because they fear punishment, and hope for reward, then we are a sorry lot indeed.
538
I have a lot of chameleon qualities, I get very absorbed in my surroundings.
539
Hot Lips changed a lot in eleven years. Initially, Margaret Houlihan behaved as though a man were the only thing that could complete her life, and she didn’t see what richness her life contained. She gained a lot of self-esteem through the years, and she came to realize that what she did, what she offered, was valuable.
540
Whatever you go into, you have to go in there to be the best. There’s no formulas. It’s all about passion and honesty and hard work. It might look glamorous, but it takes a lot of hard work. The blessing with the arts is that you can do it forever.
541
When asked to explain this space, I often ask people to forget pretty much everything you’ve heard about blockchains, crypto-currencies, and bitcoin, and instead dumb it down a lot and think about something no more complex or intimidating than good old-fashioned database technology.
542
My experiences have taught me a lot and I’m happy with my learnings, if not with what I went through to learn.
Ally Sheedy
543
A lot of music is mathematics. It’s balance.
544
I knew I wanted to do music, but leaving such a successful career one would think I’d kind of shot myself in the foot. I knew I made the right decision, and at the end of the day it’s up to me to get where I want to go, but it’s a lot to take on.
545
I used to suffer from a lot of regret while touring. Regret at having to leave certain places, people and situations, or just a beautiful day.
Kiri Te Kanawa
546
I’ve been compared to a lot of redheads. Here’s the thing though: you can look nothing like somebody, but if you both have red hair, all of a sudden people think you look exactly the same.
547
I eat a lot. I eat three times a day and I snack.
548
When you do something with a lot of honesty, appetite and commitment, the input reflects in the output.
549
People fear death even more than pain. It’s strange that they fear death. Life hurts a lot more than death. At the point of death, the pain is over. Yeah, I guess it is a friend.
550
When you get to know a lot of people, you make a great discovery. You find that no one group has a monopoly on looks, brains, goodness or anything else. It takes all the people – black and white, Catholic, Jewish and Protestant, recent immigrants and Mayflower descendants – to make up America.

It takes a lot of imagination to be a good photographer. You need less imagination to be a painter because you can invent things. But in photography everything is so ordinary; it takes a lot of looking before you learn to see the extraordinary.

I started out printing silk screen t-shirts. I sold ink pens. I worked construction. I worked at a gas station. I pumped gas. I was a mechanic for a little bit. I went into sewers, down into sewer lines. I had a lot of somewhat unpleasant gigs for a time there.

Innovation is like looking for pieces in a jigsaw puzzle. You have to find a lot of pieces that don’t match to find the one or two pieces that match.

I dare not stay home while Quichuas perish. What if the well-filled church in the homeland needs stirring? They have the Scriptures, Moses, and the prophets, and a whole lot more. Their condemnation is written on their bank books and in the dust on their Bible covers.

For many people, the age of 20 is when they first reach adulthood, and it’s a time full of ideals and dreams. But when I was 20, a lot of misfortune came along. I spent a year in the hospital and couldn’t move, and I was forced to think a lot.

I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don’t find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.

When you have confidence, you can have a lot of fun. And when you have fun, you can do amazing things.

Pakistan has to export a lot of uneducated people, many of whom have become infected with the most barbaric reactionary ideas.
