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.
13
I like the feeling of making things. It’s very very rewarding. And filmmaking is that type of experience, where you’re forced to collaborate with so many people. You’re involved in the beginning to end, you’re involved with so many elements, and when it’s done, you’re like, ‘I made this movie.’
14
Things are never so bad they can’t be made worse.

Money doesn’t mean anything to me. I’ve made a lot of money, but I want to enjoy life and not stress myself building my bank account. I give lots away and live simply, mostly out of a suitcase in hotels. We all know that good health is much more important.

100
I’ve had this terrible stomach problem for years, and that has made touring difficult. People would see me sitting in the corner by myself looking sick and gloomy.

101
Man is not made for defeat.
102
There is always a certain leap of faith that editors have made with their nonfiction writers. If the trust is broken, things can get very embarrassing for the writers and the publisher.
103
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.
104
105

107
Hollywood never knew there was a Vietnam War until they made the movie.
108
109
110
The script for ‘The Art of Self-Defense,’ to be fair, I knew going into it that it was going to be a hard movie to get made.
111
I had a very strong feeling about the Vietnam War, and I had a strong feeling about participating in it. The military draft was in place, I was summoned for a physical exam, and I was either going to be classified as fit for military service or make my objection to it. So I made my objection to it.
112
As more men become more educated and women get educated, the value system has to be more enhanced and the respect for human dignity and human life is made better.
113
I believe in God, who made of one blood all nations that on earth do dwell. I believe that all men, black and brown and white, are brothers, varying through time and opportunity, in form and gift and feature, but differing in no essential particular, and alike in soul and the possibility of infinite development.
114
115
There were many people who tried to insult me and never appreciated me in the beginning. The biggest platform for me I would say more than South Industry, I will say was ‘Bigg Boss‘. They made me realise who I am and what all I can do in my life.
116
Every color I can think of and nationality, we were all touched by Dr. King because he made us like each other and respect each other.

118

120
121
Don’t worry, be crappy. Revolutionary means you ship and then test… Lots of things made the first Mac in 1984 a piece of crap – but it was a revolutionary piece of crap.
122
123
124
Hearts will never be practical until they can be made unbreakable.
125
126
Abraham wasn’t perfect. He failed, made mistakes. But, he would go back, get right with God, and then just keep moving forward. He didn’t quit when things got hard. He just kept on going. And everywhere he went, God was there. God was with him.
127
I like pressure. Diamonds are made under pressure, and I definitely enjoy it.
128
During the Cuban Missile Crisis, decisions made by President John F. Kennedy and Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev could have plunged both countries into thermonuclear war.
129
If you love life, don’t waste time, for time is what life is made up of.

132
133
I made a mistake by being ejected from the presidency. Next time, I will choose a Cabinet which will allow me to be life President.

155
Two roads diverged in a wood and I – I took the one less traveled by, and that has made all the difference.
156

160
161
162
163
I had no blood relatives till I made some.
164
165

It is a hard thing to let go of mistakes we’ve made and sins. God wants us to do that because He knows the guilt and the condemnation will keep us from becoming who He has created us to be.
167
168
169
170
I’ve always made a total effort, even when the odds seemed entirely against me. I never quit trying; I never felt that I didn’t have a chance to win.

179
180
Vocational education programs have made a real difference in the lives of countless young people nationwide; they build self-confidence and leadership skills by allowing students to utilize their unique gifts and talents.
181

182
183
Giving back, doing motivational speeches and stuff like that, that’s always made me feel good. If you repeatedly go out there, and you are the change that you want to see, then that’s what you are.
184
It’s not that diamonds are a girl’s best friend, but it’s your best friends who are your diamonds. It’s your best friends who are supremely resilient, made under pressure and of astonishing value. They’re everlasting; they can cut glass if they need to.
185
My mom made me read a ton of books, so I got good at words and understood the English language. So when I started rapping, words were something I knew. I learned how to manipulate them so that I could say whatever I wanted to say.
186
If your goal is to be the biggest movie star in the world, a 10-movie contract is gold. It was never my goal. Up until now, I made movies – and I have a nice house, a nice car. I’m fortunate, happy and grateful. Life is good.
187
I made a lot of money. I earned a lot of money with CNN and satellite and cable television. And you can’t really spend large sums of money, intelligently, on buying things. So I thought the best thing I could do was put some of that money back to work – making an investment in the future of humanity.
188
189
190
If I didn’t make it in baseball, I won’t have made it workin’. I didn’t like to work.

192
Promises and pie-crust are made to be broken.
193
A journey through the Mediterranean is not only inspiring and stimulating, it is also humbling. The men and women who created antique treasures for us to marvel at had to deal with plague, genocide, a world without writing, iron tools, or penicillin – and yet they made something extraordinary of their life and times.
194
If… many influential people have failed to understand, or have just forgotten, what we were up against in the Cold War and how we overcame it, they are not going to be capable of securing, let alone enlarging, the gains that liberty has made.
195
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.

197
198

203
It has been discovered that all the world is made of the same atoms, that the stars are of the same stuff as ourselves. It then becomes a question of where our stuff came from. Not just where did life come from, or where did the earth come from, but where did the stuff of life and of the earth come from?
204
Life on earth is such a good story you cannot afford to miss the beginning… Beneath our superficial differences we are all of us walking communities of bacteria. The world shimmers, a pointillist landscape made of tiny living beings.
205
We are each made for goodness, love and compassion. Our lives are transformed as much as the world is when we live with these truths.
206
The knowledge of God is the cause of things. For the knowledge of God is to all creatures what the knowledge of the artificer is to things made by his art.
207
208
The human brain had a vast memory storage. It made us curious and very creative. Those were the characteristics that gave us an advantage – curiosity, creativity and memory. And that brain did something very special. It invented an idea called ‘the future.’
209
210
211
212
Records are made to be broken.
213
214
I wasn’t brought up with any religion at all. At school and in my early 20s, I read every religious text I could get my hands on – Buddhist scriptures, Hindu texts, the Qur’an, and the Bible. I wanted to feel like something made sense to me, that there was something sacred I could feel aligned with.
215
Christ’s flock is made up of sheep that not only listen to their shepherd, but are also able to recognize his voice, to follow him, faithfully and with full awareness, on the pastures of eternal life.
216
I know that God is intentional with everything that He brings to me and what He does for me. I’m not here just to be here. God made me intentionally! He created me on purpose, for a reason! To throw the shot put for sure. That’s one of the things I am created to do.
217
Fine art is knowledge made visible.
218
219
220
Life is too short to spend in negativity. So I have made a conscious effort to not be where I don’t want to be.
221
222
223
224
It is change, continuing change, inevitable change, that is the dominant factor in society today. No sensible decision can be made any longer without taking into account not only the world as it is, but the world as it will be.
225
226
If there hadn’t been women we’d still be squatting in a cave eating raw meat, because we made civilization in order to impress our girlfriends.
227
228
God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.
229
230
231
232
Edison failed 10,000 times before he made the electric light. Do not be discouraged if you fail a few times.

234
235
I’m not one for blaspheming, but that one made me laugh.
236
237
238
Wherever you’re from, you adapt to your environment. It definitely made my music a little bit more explicit. Because I really was in North Philly, I listened to State Property and stuff. Everything my dad listened to, I listened to.
239
Every generation inherits a world it never made; and, as it does so, it automatically becomes the trustee of that world for those who come after. In due course, each generation makes its own accounting to its children.
240
The secret of life is honesty and fair dealing. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.
241
Having children made us look differently at all these things that we take for granted, like taking your child to get a vaccine against measles or polio.
242
The Father willed that his blessed and glorious Son, whom he gave to us and who was born for us, should through his own blood offer himself as a sacrificial victim on the altar of the cross. This was to be done not for himself through whom all things were made, but for our sins.
243
If I have made an appointment with you, I owe you punctuality, I have no right to throw away your time, if I do my own.
244
Editing is where movies are made or broken. Many a film has been saved and many a film has been ruined in the editing room.
245
I have always been fascinated by the way things work and how they came to take the form that they did. Writing about these things satisfies my curiosity about the made world while at the same time giving me an opportunity to design a new explanation for the processes that shape it.
246
My appeal to the rich is, Deal liberally with your poor brethren, and use your means to advance the cause of God. The worthy poor, who are made poor by misfortune and sickness, deserve your especial care and help.
247
As the evening progressed, Scott said that he was looking forward to settling down, but that he hadn’t yet found the right person. The way he looked at me when he said that made me feel he might be wondering whether I was that person.
248
249
250
Set yourself earnestly to see what you are made to do, and then set yourself earnestly to do it.
251
252
253
254
255
256

257
258
259
260
261
The world must be made safe for democracy. Its peace must be planted upon the tested foundations of political liberty.
262
263
There is nothing that living things do that cannot be understood from the point of view that they are made of atoms acting according to the laws of physics.
264
Nothing that God ever made is the same thing to more than one person. That is natural.
265
266
Whatever our souls are made of, his and mine are the same.
267
Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power, intelligence, and love, and the lord of his own thoughts, he holds the key to every situation.
268
269
270
I used to look like an American flag. The Padre uniform makes me look like a taco. Actually, the transition has been great. I’ve made 25 new friends, and I never thought I wanted to be anything other than a Dodger, but this is fun.
271
272
273
All our work, our whole life is a matter of semantics, because words are the tools with which we work, the material out of which laws are made, out of which the Constitution was written. Everything depends on our understanding of them.
274
Laws should be like clothes. They should be made to fit the people they serve.
275
276
Our lives are a sum total of the choices we have made.
277
Life is made up of sobs, sniffles, and smiles, with sniffles predominating.
278
279
280
God could not be everywhere, and therefore he made mothers.
281
282
283
284
285
Our teachers made such a difference – all my teachers and professors were very supportive and nurturing.
286
Just because I made it look easy doesn’t mean that it was and you don’t work hard and become a Hall of Famer without working day in and day out.
287
We’re all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made.
288
When you look at art made by other people, you see what you need to see in it.
289
I don’t really have any regrets because if I choose not to do something there is usually a very good reason. Once I’ve made the decision I don’t view it as a missed opportunity, just a different path.
290
You know, the benefit in life is to say, ‘Maybe you made a mistake, let’s dig deep.’
291
292
293
By the grace of God, my parents were fantastic. We were a very normal family, and we have had a very middle-class Indian upbringing. We were never made to realise who we were or that my father and mother were huge stars – it was a very normal house, and I’d like my daughter to have the same thing.
294
I’m sick to death of people saying we’ve made 11 albums that sounds exactly the same, Infact, we’ve made 12 albums that sound exactly the same.
295
There was my name up in lights. I said, ‘God, somebody’s made a mistake.’ But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, ‘Remember, you’re not a star.’ Yet there it was up in lights.
296
297
298
299
If the Great Spirit had desired me to be a white man, he would have made me so in the first place.
300
Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.
301
Of course as children, we all, in all cultures and societies, learn behavior from observation, imitation, and encouragement of various kinds. So by the suggestion made, we all ‘pretend‘ most of the time.
302
The law was made for one thing alone, for the exploitation of those who don’t understand it, or are prevented by naked misery from obeying it.
303
304
‘The Lady’s World’ should be made the recognized organ for the expression of women’s opinions on all subjects of literature, art and modern life, and yet it should be a magazine that men could read with pleasure.
305
306
Money was a big differentiator when I was growing up, but I made sure it doesn’t stay that way.
307
Science has revealed that the human body is made up of millions and millions of atoms… For example, I am made up of 5.8×10 27 atoms.
308
309
Strong people are made by opposition like kites that go up against the wind.
310
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
311
312
By the time we’ve made it, we’ve had it.
313
314
God made me the way I am, and I accept myself. I am who I am, and I’m proud of myself.
315
Indians walk softly and hurt the landscape hardly more than the birds and squirrels, and their brush and bark huts last hardly longer than those of wood rats, while their more enduring monuments, excepting those wrought on the forests by the fires they made to improve their hunting grounds, vanish in a few centuries.
316
317
We shot ‘Breaking Bad‘ on film; we capture ‘Better Call Saul’ digitally. In the shooting of ‘Breaking Bad,’ we would have this steady, handheld, cinema verite sort of look, so we purposely went the opposite way with ‘Better Call Saul’ – locked in the cameras and made the movements smoother and more mechanical.
318
319
320
Was it not enough punishment and suffering in history that we were uprooted and made helpless slaves not only in new colonial outposts but also domestically.
321
322
Believing in progress does not mean believing that any progress has yet been made.
323
324
Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising.
325
326
327
We started MakerBot in 2009 and made a conscious decision to educate people with the possibilities they could do with 3D printing and share with people what is possible.
328
329
God didn’t make a mistake when He made you. You need to see yourself as God sees you.

331
332
‘LIFE Magazine’ decided to do a story about a young actress in Hollywood in 1954. And I made the cover. And I remember that the fellow who was doing the story on me said, ‘Listen, kid, I just want you to know, if Eisenhower gets a cold, you’re off the cover.’
333
334
I think it’s important to move people beyond just dreaming into doing. They have to be able to see that you are just like them, and you made it.
335
I made all my generals out of mud.
336
If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way.
337
Military leaders aren’t made. They are born. To be a good leader, you have to have something in your character to cause people to follow you.
338
This book-promotion stuff is like a political campaign. You work your butt off, and at the end of the day, you can’t tell if it’s made a damned bit of difference.
339
340
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
341
‘No one can make you successful; the will to success comes from within.’ I’ve made this my motto. I’ve internalized it to the point of understanding that the success of my actions and/or endeavors doesn’t depend on anyone else, and that includes a possible failure.
342
Fashion is made to become unfashionable.
343
In a universe made out of energy, everything is entangled; everything is one.
344
The high probability is if American forces withdraw from Afghanistan and if no alternative international arrangement is made that then the historic contests between the regions and the sects will reappear, the Taliban will re-emerge, and a very complicated and maybe chaotic situation will develop.
345
You’re not the only one who’s made mistakes, but they’re the only things that you can truly call your own.
346
347
When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits, I was – my big thing was I went to put super unleaded in my truck for the first time.
348
Kings are not born: they are made by artificial hallucination.
349
The appeal to the white man’s pocket has ever been more effectual than all the appeals ever made to his conscience.
350
If you want something, work hard for it, go after it. I can’t worry about all the ‘no’s, because I believe there’s a yes, and I’ve been very fortunate to find those in my career and made the most of those opportunities.
351
352
A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.
353
354
355
Years ago I went into my laboratory and said, ‘Dear Mr. Creator, please tell me what the universe was made for?’ The Great Creator answered, ‘You want to know too much for that little mind of yours. Ask for something more your size, little man.’
356
357
These people are very unskilled in arms… with 50 men they could all be subjected and made to do all that one wished.
358
Your grammar is a reflection of your image. Good or bad, you have made an impression. And like all impressions, you are in total control.
359
All the seven deadly sins are man’s true nature. To be greedy. To be hateful. To have lust. Of course, you have to control them, but if you’re made to feel guilty for being human, then you’re going to be trapped in a never-ending sin-and-repent cycle that you can’t escape from.
360
361
Consider your origins: you were not made to live as brutes, but to follow virtue and knowledge.
362
363
364
If you can make it here, you can make it anywhere. That’s why I play. If I made it in New York, you can make it anywhere.
365
The more we pour the big machines, the fuel, the pesticides, the herbicides, the fertilizer and chemicals into farming, the more we knock out the mechanism that made it all work in the first place.
366
Obedience brings peace in decision making. If we have firmly made up our minds to follow the commandments, we will not have to redecide which path to take when temptation comes our way.
367
I know a lot of people who are struggling musicians; it’s a hard life, and I’ve risked being that. The rewards are tremendous now that I’ve made it, I thank God every day. But I put it all on the line for it.
368
Music was the one thing that was just mine, and no one could take it from me. I created it, dictated it, and it made me not able to let go of it.
369
Some people wonder all their lives if they’ve made a difference. The Marines don’t have that problem.
370
The Indians on board said that thence to Cuba was a voyage in their canoes of a day and a half; these being small dug-outs without a sail. Such are their canoes. I departed thence for Cuba, for by the signs the Indians made of its greatness, and of its gold and pearls, I thought that it must be Cipango.
371
No great art has ever been made without the artist having known danger.
372
I believe in censorship. I made a fortune out of it.
373
The reason I made my stage name Kali Uchis is because it’s still me in the sense that, my dad called me ‘Kali Uchis’ my whole life. It’s still something I’ve been called since I was a baby. It’s still me.
374
375
376
In theory it may seem all right to some, but when it comes to being made the instrument of the Lord’s vengeance, I myself don’t like it.
377
378
379
380
As the First World War made painfully clear, when politicians and generals lead nations into war, they almost invariably assume swift victory, and have a remarkably enduring tendency not to foresee problems that, in hindsight, seem obvious.
381
I think we judge talent wrong. What do we see as talent? I think I have made the same mistake myself. We judge talent by people’s ability to strike a cricket ball. The sweetness, the timing. That’s the only thing we see as talent. Things like determination, courage, discipline, temperament, these are also talent.
382
383
I was born in South Africa during apartheid, a system of laws that made it illegal for people to mix in South Africa. And this was obviously awkward because I grew up in a mixed family. My mother’s a black woman, South African Xhosa woman… and my father’s Swiss, from Switzerland.
384
Markets are constantly in a state of uncertainty and flux and money is made by discounting the obvious and betting on the unexpected.
385
An expert is a man who has made all the mistakes which can be made, in a narrow field.
386
Stuff your eyes with wonder, live as if you’d drop dead in ten seconds. See the world. It’s more fantastic than any dream made or paid for in factories.
387
Animals, whom we have made our slaves, we do not like to consider our equal.
388
389
I am sure that the sad days and happenings were rare, and that I lived the joyous and careless life of other children; but just because the happy days were so habitual to me they made no impression upon my mind, and I can no longer recall them.
390
The most important decision I’ve made in business? The choices of people I have around me. When I first started I brought everybody with me, my homies from the neighborhood, criminals. I just said, ‘Come on everybody, we made it.’ Then I had to realize we didn’t make it. I made it.
391
392
393
394
The war on drugs has made government more powerful, citizens less free, and hasn’t helped users or addicts.
395
Any life is made up of a single moment, the moment in which a man finds out, once and for all, who he is.
396
They may forget what you said – but they will never forget how you made them feel.
397
I have made good judgments in the past. I have made good judgments in the future.
398
Gratitude is a burden, and every burden is made to be shaken off.
399
Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely is made for the eye of one who sees.
400
The Church is the new creation, it is life and joy, it is the sacramental fellowship in which we share the ultimate purpose of God, made real for us now in our hearing the Word and sharing the Sacrament.
401
After the fall of Communism, the biggest mistake Boris Yeltzin’s regime made was not to disband the KGB altogether. Instead it changed its name to the FSB and, to many observers, morphed into a gangster organisation, eventually headed by master criminal Vladimir Putin.

406
Companies figured out that the easiest way to make money was to reissue records that the accounting department had paid for years ago and already made a profit.
407
408
I thank every bully I ever had because that’s the only reason I’m here. I learned how to not be affected by it and triumph over it, and that made me – again, if I had any success whatsoever, it’s because these people made fun of me.
409
I have made myself what I am. And I would that I could make the red people as great as the conceptions of my own mind, when I think of the Great Spirit that rules over us all.
410
No decisions should ever be made without asking the question, is this for the common good?
411
412
Rules are made for people who aren’t willing to make up their own.
413
I made the Yankee hat more famous than a Yankee can.
414
If God made the body, and the body is dirty, then the fault lies with the manufacturer.

Everyone has been made for some particular work, and the desire for that work has been put in every heart.
419
420
Anyone who has never made a mistake has never tried anything new.

Great games are played, not made.

The world always seems brighter when you’ve just made something that wasn’t there before.
426
427
Do what you will, this world’s a fiction and is made up of contradiction.
428
When you fail you learn from the mistakes you made and it motivates you to work even harder.
429
430
431
Vows made in storms are forgotten in calm.
432
Don’t ask me who’s influenced me. A lion is made up of the lambs he’s digested, and I’ve been reading all my life.
433
Gay people are made and not born.
434
I could have ended the war in a month. I could have made North Vietnam look like a mud puddle.
435
He who never made a mistake, never made a discovery.
436
Forgiveness is the answer to the child’s dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.
437
438
Communism, like any other revealed religion, is largely made up of prophecies.
439
I only made $200 a week and I had to buy my own bullets.
440
My mom and dad did something special when they made me.
441
442
Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.
443
The Supreme Court, of course, has the responsibility of ensuring that our government never oversteps its proper bounds or violates the rights of individuals. But the Court must also recognize the limits on itself and respect the choices made by the American people.
444
445
With my wife I don’t get no respect. I made a toast on her birthday to ‘the best woman a man ever had.’ The waiter joined me.
446
447
448
449
I remember when I was a child… walking into the woods by myself and feeling the solitude around me build like electricity and pass through my body with a jolt that made my hair prickle.
450
Happiness seems made to be shared.
451
I asked myself, ‘What are you going to do with your life? Are you going to be like everyone else or are you going to do what’s right?’ I just made a decision. I said, ‘It’s time to grow up. It’s time to start living for the Lord, do things the right way.’ I accepted the Lord, and it changed my life.
452
All art is contemporary art because it had to be made when it was now.
453
454
I am happy that I have entertained people and made them happy.
455
456
Marriages are made in heaven and consummated on Earth.
457
458
It’s funny because I’ve made a living off of words, but words get in the way of what you really want to say.
459
Giving every man a vote has no more made men wise and free than Christianity has made them good.
460
I don’t trust politicians. I think that by the time they’ve made it, with the concessions they’ve had to make in that position, I don’t believe they still have the beliefs they had at the root.
461
462
I have many years to get better and better, and that has to be my ambition. The day you think there is no improvements to be made is a sad one for any player.
463
464
465
It is with your aid, as the people, that I think we shall be able to preserve – not the country, for the country will preserve itself, but the institutions of the country – those institutions which have made us free, intelligent and happy – the most free, the most intelligent, and the happiest people on the globe.
466
My comfort zone is like a little bubble around me, and I’ve pushed it in different directions and made it bigger and bigger until these objectives that seemed totally crazy eventually fall within the realm of the possible.
467
Poetry must be made by all and not by one.
468
469
Experience praises the most happy the one who made the most people happy.

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.
475
476
Love doesn’t just sit there, like a stone; it has to be made, like bread, remade all the time, made new.
477
478
I steal from every movie ever made.
479
Fire made us human, fossil fuels made us modern, but now we need a new fire that makes us safe, secure, healthy and durable.
480
God made me an Indian.
481
I am not a creationist as the term is usually understood. I believe that the earth is billions of years old and the universe even older. I do believe that God is the creator, but that’s a completely different thing. I’ve written in defense of evolution and made arguments that are based on evolution.
482
Anyone who is capable of getting themselves made President should on no account be allowed to do the job.
483
Life is made up, not of great sacrifices or duties, but of little things, in which smiles and kindness, and small obligations given habitually, are what preserve the heart and secure comfort.
484
In the heart of the Great Depression, millions of American workers did something they’d never done before: they joined a union. Emboldened by the passage of the Wagner Act, which made collective bargaining easier, unions organized industries across the country, remaking the economy.
485
486
Conservatism is rooted in preservation; progressivism advances alteration. These are different love languages. These languages turn on your view of change itself: When you think of America, do you see a country struggling to be maintained or one striving to be made better?
487
Kindness and faithfulness keep a king safe, through kindness his throne is made secure.
488
I often tell my students not to be misled by the name ‘artificial intelligence‘ – there is nothing artificial about it. AI is made by humans, intended to behave by humans, and, ultimately, to impact humans’ lives and human society.
489
490
I am not someone who is ashamed of my past. I’m actually really proud. I know I made a lot of mistakes, but they, in turn, were my life lessons.
491
We are made to know and love God.
492
Nobody made a greater mistake than he who did nothing because he could do only a little.
493
494
495
Dance is the only art of which we ourselves are the stuff of which it is made.
496
497
The atomic bomb made the prospect of future war unendurable. It has led us up those last few steps to the mountain pass; and beyond there is a different country.
498
499
Living big and joyful and content is almost always the result of our finding satisfaction in life’s ordinary day-to-day pleasures. And God must be fond of them, too, for He made so many of them for us to enjoy.
500
Friendships are discovered rather than made.
501
I believe in Karma. If the good is sown, the good is collected. When positive things are made, that returns well.
502
503
504
505
I’m made up of immigrant stock. I went to a primary school in London. I grew up eating Spangles, why shouldn’t I be as well placed to speak for Londoners as anyone else?
506
Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made.
507
No statement should be believed because it is made by an authority.
508
Man is so made that when anything fires his soul, impossibilities vanish.
509
510
I made three films with Boris Karloff. He was absolutely wonderful.
511
Wherever there are rock ‘n’ rollers, we’ll play. That’s what we’ve been doing for more than 30 years – rock ‘n’ roll. It’s made me everything from an honorary mayor to honorary member of a motorcycle gang.
512
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
513
We made too many wrong mistakes.
514
515
The Talented Tenth of the Negro race must be made leaders of thought and missionaries of culture among their people.
516
Robotics has already made significant inroads in electronics assembly, with sewing trades – traditionally many countries’ first entry point to the global trading system – likely to come next.
517
518
True self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There’s no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.
519
Through my writing, I have made new friends and continued to learn about this world of ours in all its wonder, with all its challenges.
520
I could fall in love with a sumo wrestler if he told stories and made me laugh. Obviously, it would be easier if someone was African-American and lived next door and went to the same church. Because then I wouldn’t have to translate.
521
The people made worse off by slavery were those who were enslaved. Their descendants would have been worse off today if born in Africa instead of America. Put differently, the terrible fate of their ancestors benefitted them.
522
523
524
525
I suppose we’ll make money off our album and our singles and stuff, but, like, they were made as we wanted them, exactly with what we had to say, and done exactly how we wanted them, right? And, like, we didn’t put them out to make money. We put them out because we wanted to do them, do you know what I mean?
526
Our life is made by the death of others.
527
528
529
530
All religions have been made by men.
531
532
The independent-minded movies – it’s always an uphill battle to get them made and seen. You do what you can, and go out there after and try to tell people about it, but at the end of the day, that’s all you can do.
533
Life is partly what we make it, and partly what it is made by the friends we choose.

Science has made us gods even before we are worthy of being men.

540
Gold medals are made out of sweat, blood and tears and effort in the gym every day.
541
542
543
544
It’s important for women to embrace their beauty and sexuality. Females are victimized and made to feel ashamed of their bodies, or they can’t be smart and beautiful, and I try to work against that.
545
We all make mistakes. God knows I’ve made more than anyone else I know.
546
We didn’t slow down, unlike the others, when we got to the moon because we needed its gravity to get back, so we hold the altitude record. I never even thought about it. Records are only made to be broken.
547
548
It is true that we are made of dust. And the world is also made of dust. But the dust has motes rising.
549
The world, we are told, was made especially for man – a presumption not supported by all the facts. A numerous class of men are painfully astonished whenever they find anything, living or dead, in all God’s universe, which they cannot eat or render in some way what they call useful to themselves.
550
It’s funny how most people love the dead, once you’re dead, you’re made for life.
551
552
553
Man is made by his belief. As he believes, so he is.
554
555
556
I have made a lot of mistakes, but I am proud of them all.
557
558
559
560
I’ve been lucky, I’ve had movies that made a lot of money, so I don’t feel like I have to kill every time out. I don’t want that pressure. I don’t need it.
561
There was never yet fair woman but she made mouths in a glass.
562
I’d like to be remembered as someone who made a difference in the lives of young people – that I nurtured someone and taught them to pursue their dreams and their careers, to leave a legacy.
563
The first time I made any money, I was 27. I went to Bergdorf’s looking like a proper guttersnipe and bought a pair of Louboutins. I’d wear them and an old ink-stained kimono and make my drawings and feel indomitable.
564
My mother and brother made me strive to get good grades and get through school.
565
566
When you are chiselling a sculpture, it won’t happen in one day, it happens over a period of time. It’s the same way that my personality has changed over the past 15 years. I am not the same person I used to be and my life experiences are what have made me.
567
568
Stupid people do make me lose my temper and most people are stupid, fortunately for me. It’s made it easier for me to make a living.
569
God made the Idiot for practice, and then He made the School Board.
570
I have never been in doubt since I was old enough to think intelligently that I would someday be made president.
571
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
572
I do not like broccoli. And I haven’t liked it since I was a little kid and my mother made me eat it. And I’m President of the United States and I’m not going to eat any more broccoli.
573
574
575
I grew up below the poverty line; I didn’t have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college, and just become a better person.
576
I probably hold the distinction of being one movie star who, by all laws of logic, should never have made it. At each stage of my career, I lacked the experience.
577
I mean, I do think at a certain point you’ve made enough money.
578
579
We can’t change the past but we can learn from history and remember the important things – the sacrifices our loved ones made, and the price of our freedom today.
580
I think my mother… made it clear that you have to live life by your own terms and you have to not worry about what other people think and you have to have the courage to do the unexpected.
581
Life cannot be without relationship, but we have made it so agonizing and hideous by basing it on personal and possessive love. Can one love and yet not possess? You will find the true answer not in escape, ideals, beliefs but through the understanding of the causes of dependence and possessiveness.
582
Life is not what you expect: it is made up of the most unexpected twists and turns.
583
584
I was like the class clown in school so I guess I would say I did like the attention. In church I did a lot of plays, my mother made me play characters, do a lot of drama and acting, trying to become someone else. So it helped me create who I am, to create Snoop Dogg.
585
You can always tell a real friend: when you’ve made a fool of yourself he doesn’t feel you’ve done a permanent job.
586
In my school, the brightest boys did math and physics, the less bright did physics and chemistry, and the least bright did biology. I wanted to do math and physics, but my father made me do chemistry because he thought there would be no jobs for mathematicians.
587
The true treasure lies within. It is the underlying theme of the songs we sing, the shows we watch and the books we read. It is woven into the Psalms of the Bible, the ballads of the Beatles and practically every Bollywood film ever made. What is that treasure? Love. Love is the nature of the Divine.
588
589
Historically, our culture has not made room for the nuances of humanity. People have not been kept safe: women, people of colour, queer people, transgender people.
590
I’ve made peace with the fact that the things that I thought were weaknesses or flaws were just me. I like them.
591
I am even thankful for the negative things that have made me a stronger and better person.
592
Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What’s a sundial in the shade?
593
594
Critical thinking is not something you do once with an issue and then drop it. It requires that we update our knowledge as new information comes in. Time spent evaluating claims is not just time well spent. It should be considered part of an implicit bargain we’ve all made.
595
Everything should be made as simple as possible, but not simpler.
596
The most important thing in acting is honesty. If you can fake that, you’ve got it made.
597
598
My main mistake was to have made an ancient people advance by forced marches toward independence, health, culture, affluence, comfort.
599
The new physics provides a modern version of ancient spirituality. In a universe made out of energy, everything is entangled; everything is one.
600
601
The minute you decide to do what you love to do, you have made a life plan for yourself and a career choice.
602
603
Skin is made in large measure of a protein called collagen.
604
All the money I have, I made with my talent.
605
606
A covenant made with God should be regarded not as restrictive but as protective.
607
608
We think the Dred Scott decision is erroneous. We know the court that made it has often overruled its own decisions, and we shall do what we can to have it overrule this.
609
610
I’m not one icon. I’m every icon. I’m an icon that is made out of all the colors on the palette at every time. I have no restrictions. No restrictions.
611
Mother Nature made me the way I am, and I should be happy.
612
Being made in the image of God, man was the crown of creation.
613

616
I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin’ hell, but as long as they ain’t free, I ain’t free.
