Science is not, despite how it is often portrayed, about absolute truths. It is about developing an understanding of the world, making predictions, and then testing these predictions.

I think artists can influence only through making music that challenges people, excites them and flips them out. Music that repeats what you know in ever-decreasing derivation, that’s unchallenging and unstimulating, deadens our minds, our imagination and our ability to see beyond the hell we find ourselves in.

Do not take yourself too seriously. You have to learn not to be dismayed at making mistakes. No human being can avoid failures.

33
34
Think about it: Venezuela, Cuba, Nicaragua, Vietnam, North Korea, the former Soviet Union – they all start with the intention of leveling the playing field – or making things better for the little guy – and instead, they created misery, poverty, destruction and a permanent ruling class of bureaucrats.

People think that what I see diving must drive what I put into films, but that isn’t really the case. When I am making a Hollywood production, I am telling a different kind of story. Of course, if I see something interesting that works, we will look at it, but they are different things.

43
44
I think your ego gets in the way of making something good because it kind of blinds you from the actual art.

Obviously, there are moments that you look back at and cringe – things in the past involving violence or disrespect to women or disrespect to other people that are so far away from what I want to put out there now. But it’s actually a privilege to be able to change and be making records that reflect that change.

65
66
Greatness comes by doing a few small and smart things each and every day. Comes from taking little steps, consistently. Comes from a making a few small chips against everything in your professional and personal life that is ordinary, so that a day eventually arrives when all that’s left is The Extraordinary.

Making a record? You’ve got to have the song, then you create a record. I think it’s the same with a live performance. If the material is strong, you’re already 90% there. I always tell young people it’s all about the music, the songs. Work on the songs, work on the songs, work on the songs.
71
72
He that is good for making excuses is seldom good for anything else.

Kindle Singles is publishing on skates. It prints like lightning; our book meets readers in hours. I’ve spent so many years waiting for publishers to consider whether they wanted to print a book of mine, making contracts, taking months to fit it into the Fall list or the Spring list, fitting it into an advertising plan.

As individuals, people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what’s happening in our country, which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don’t seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.
96
97
Just the minute the FBI begins making recommendations on what should be done with its information, it becomes a Gestapo.

100
101
102
103
I wouldn’t say I’m underrated, but more reserved. Only time will tell, but I’ve been good so far in being consistent and making hit after hit writing for myself and other artists, from rap to R&B, and being able to make those different records.
104
105
106
I like films and I have been watching films from a young age. So, making films happened to be a natural progression.

108
109
Now I’ve devoted my life to making sure that I can be a trailblazer for any other African American kids or any other gay kids or any other kids that just feel weird or uncomfortable and have their own issues and don’t know how to express themselves. I want to be like a beacon for those kids now.
110
111
The key to making money is to stay invested.
112
I was making almost minimum wage on ‘The Young and the Restless.’ But it was my first job, so I accepted my first quote. I had a great time on it, and it obviously led me to better things.
113
Pink is the color of strength, a color of conviction, a color of decision making.
114

I’m not impressed by someone’s degree… I’m impressed by them making movies.

124
125
I had fame and wealth and things that are supposed to make you happy, but I wasn’t happy, because there’s no importance on having a fulfilling life. So in my mid-40s, that was my pursuit – making films that interested me, films that I would like to go see.
126
Creativity is more than just being different. Anybody can plan weird; that’s easy. What’s hard is to be as simple as Bach. Making the simple, awesomely simple, that’s creativity.
127
128
129
We were for Mao, but when we saw the films he was making, they were bad. So we understood that there was necessarily something wrong with what he was saying.
130
131
I think it just helps to be very aware that fundamentally, there are no adults. Everyone is making it up as they go along. You have to find your own path, picking, choosing, taking and discarding as you see fit.
132
I’ve never really lived a conventional life, so I think it’s quite foolish for me or anyone else to start thinking that I am going to start making conventional choices.
133
I think the biggest way of connecting with people is through your music and kind of saying what you want to say as an artist. And hopefully, you’re making something that someone’s going to be like, ‘This is my favorite song.’ That’s always your goal, I think, anybody in any genre.
134
135
There are three rules for being in the Paper Route Illuminati. Rule number one: get the money first. Rule number two: don’t forget to get the money. How do you make that money? You can’t make money without making sacrifices.

Being sexy, to me, is possessing the full package: the brains, the drive, inner confidence, spiritual foundation, a positive attitude, proceeding through obstacles, making a positive contribution to the world, and maintaining a healthy lifestyle.
142
143
144
145
If we live a self-directed, self-motivated, self-centered life, always needing to get our own way, then we’re going to be miserable. In fact, many times we believe it’s our problems that are making us unhappy when, in reality, it’s because we’re focused on ourselves!
146
I think I’m basically a liberal Conservative – I believe in low tax, spirit of free enterprise, and in making sure that we as politicians create the framework for business to produce the dosh that we’re going to need to pay for the poorest. And the longer I live, the more I think that we all have a duty to each other.
147
I like mash-ups, taking contemporary songs and making them old… old songs, making them new.
148
I don’t care half so much about making money as I do about making my point, and coming out ahead.
149
A lot of people making a lot of money, billion, billions of dollars accumulating. Why are they coming for, finally, for philanthropy? Why the need for accumulating money, then doing philanthropy? What if one decided to start philanthropy from the day one?
150
151
152
Even with the ‘Top Boy’ series with Ashley Walters… I’ve been talking like on the creative direction wave with Drake about the series. Making greatness with it. The whole style of what’s going on in London, the sound, is real. It’s an actual thing that actually happened. So it deserves to be on the telly.
153
154
155
156
157
Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it’s like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference?
158
159
The Congressional Budget Office has been embarrassed repeatedly by making projections based on the assumption that tax revenues and tax rates move in the same direction.
160
The reason I do this job is because I started to be a painter. Making money in art was difficult. The easiest way to make money was to use art for some other reason. One of the easiest and most interesting from an economic point of view was fashion. Fashion pays.
161
162
Prudence does not mean failing to accept responsibilities and postponing decisions; it means being committed to making joint decisions after pondering responsibly the road to be taken.
163
I’m a fan of polarization. If you make something that is palatable to everybody, it’s like making vanilla ice cream, and I think we have enough of that.
164
I just wanted to speak to the streets and give them motivation on making it out. Whatever situation they’re in, know that they can make do and have a better life.
165
Just because you’re working does not mean you’re making money. That’s two very different things in show business.
166
I don’t do anything malicious or anything in a negative manner. I’m all about positivity and making people smile is positive.
167
Overnight successes are generally years in the making. And most progress is made in isolation, far from the public eye.
168
169
170
The only point in making money is, you can tell some big shot where to go.
171
172

175
176
177
178
I don’t think you get to be pope without making some enemies, like you do when you’re president.
179
Men and machines are good at different things. People form plans and make decisions in complicated situations. We are less good at making sense of enormous amounts of data. Computers are exactly the opposite: they excel at efficient data processing but struggle to make basic judgments that would be simple for any human.
180
To me, if there is any sort of value added to the accumulation of knowledge over time, then the work of artists should be a reflection of that accumulated value, accumulated knowledge. You have to demonstrate that you have the sophistication to put that into play in the work you’re making.
181
182
People who get trapped in the tunnel vision of making money think that is all there is to life.
183
Now we have a problem in making our power credible, and Vietnam is the place.
184
I look back on my 20s. It’s supposed to be the prime of your life, the most vital, the most beautiful. But you’re making your critical decisions and sometimes your most critical mistakes.
185
Life started getting good when I started making money.
186
187
You will be a failure, until you impress the subconscious with the conviction you are a success. This is done by making an affirmation which ‘clicks.’
188
I am fearful, or suspicious, of generalizations… They cannot guide me reliably in making decisions about particular individuals.
189
190
That’s the thing about making a movie: You never finish editing. They just take it away from you.
191
192
193
194
195
They want me to stop making my opinions and not saying a word; I know the Left wants that.
196
It is one of the most saddening things in life that, try as we may, we can never be certain of making people happy, whereas we can almost always be certain of making them unhappy.
197
I go to the studio every day, but I don’t paint every day. I love playing with my architectural models. I love making plans. I could spend my life arranging things.
198
A transition to clean energy is about making an investment in our future.
199
When I was working, and when I was making substantial amounts of money, I always filed and paid my taxes. This only stopped, when it was necessary to withdraw from society, in order to guarantee the safety and well-being of myself and my family.
200
Weapons of mass destruction are the greatest threat to life on earth. Biological weapons are often called the poor man‘s atomic bomb. Saddam Hussein is the ruler who has for decades been making the most determined and diabolical illegal effort to acquire them.
201
Globalisation has powered economic growth in developing countries such as China. Global logistics, low domestic production costs, and strong consumer demand have let the country develop strong export-based manufacturing, making the country the workshop of the world.
202
I’m more comfortable writing traditional protagonists. But ‘Steve Jobs‘ and ‘The Social Network’ have antiheroes. I like to write antiheroes as if they’re making their case to God about why they should be allowed into heaven. I have to find something in that character that is like me and write to that.
203
I’ve never really taken anything very seriously. I enjoy life because I enjoy making other people enjoy it.
204
A successful economic development strategy must focus on improving the skills of the area‘s workforce, reducing the cost of doing business and making available the resources business needs to compete and thrive in today’s global economy.
205
I haven‘t lived a perfect life. I have regrets. But that’s from a lifetime of taking chances, making decisions, and trying not to be frozen. The only thing that I can do with my regrets is understand them.
206
While I appreciate what goes into making high-end Indian dishes, street food has a special place in my heart. Being raised in India, street food played an integral part in my life while growing up.
207
208
We in the Negro leagues felt like we were contributing something to baseball, too, when we were playing. We played with a round ball, and we played with a round bat. And we wore baseball uniforms, and we thought that we were making a contribution to baseball. We loved the game, and we liked to play it.
209
210
There is only one way… to get anybody to do anything. And that is by making the other person want to do it.
211
Before I turned vegetarian, I used to often cook seafood or my favourite breakfast of eggs and bacon. Now, I love making pulao or rice with lots of spices and vegetables.
212
Sometimes it can be bad to have too much family. Everybody gets involved in your problems, giving their opinion, gossiping, and making drama. But when bad things happen, they will be there to support you.
213
We’re making this analogy that AI is the new electricity. Electricity transformed industries: agriculture, transportation, communication, manufacturing.
214
I had a wonderful time making ‘Dark Shadows.’
215
216
A positive attitude is a choice, like walking to the other side of a street to avoid trouble or making a 180-degree turn when you feel you’re heading in the wrong direction.
217
218
I love the Country Music Hall of Fame. I don’t think it’s just a hall of fame and it’s not just a museum. It’s a schoolhouse. It’s a place where people from all across the world can come and learn about this great genre that we’re making a living out of.
219
220
I have found that I always learn more from my mistakes than from my successes. If you aren’t making some mistakes, you aren’t taking enough chances.
221
And I’m not so in love with making people mad that I want to live my life around it.
222
For me, architecture is the means, not the end. It’s a means of making different life forms possible.
223
The key to life is your attitude. Whether you’re single or married or have kids or don’t have kids, it’s how you look at your life, what you make of it. It’s about making the best of your life wherever you are in life.
224
I have ways of making money that you know nothing of.
225
We need to lower the cost of healthcare and prescription drugs instead of making it easier for insurance companies to charge more for less inclusive coverage.
226
227
228
229
230
231
232
233
I’ve kind of become used to making new friends.
234
Emotionally, making my debut has been the highlight so far. I didn’t know I was starting until three minutes before. I went in and put my shirt on, and the team were already in the tunnel.
235
I love standing at a microphone and making a room of people laugh. That’s the part of the work I love; everything else is extraneous.
236
People believe practice makes perfect, but it doesn’t. If you’re making a tremendous amount of mistakes, all you’re doing is deeply ingraining the same mistakes.
237
If the agency of the mother in forming the character of her children is, in truth, so considerable, as I think it – if she does so much toward making her son what she would wish him to be – how essential is it that she should be fitted for the beneficial performance of these important duties.
238
In the big picture, architecture is the art and science of making sure that our cities and buildings fit with the way we want to live our lives.
239
240
241
I have no fear of making changes, destroying the image, etc., because the painting has a life of its own.
242
I think the things that everyone can do are small things, but if they’re done, it will eventually help the environment. I think recycling is the biggest effort I’m making.
243
244
When you’re making music, it’s meant to be shared with people. Sometimes, even if I’m writing a song, someone else brings a vibe. There’s something different about it. If someone can play a better bassline than me, I’ll let them do it. I’m just here to fit in and see where it goes.
245
246
For me, it matters that we drive technology as an equalizing force, as an enabler for everyone around the world. Which is why I do want Google to see, push, and invest more in making sure computing is more accessible, connectivity is more accessible.
247
Governing is about making tough decisions, but it’s also about figuring out a better way to do things.
248
Peer pressure is something everyone will face in school. You have to really go by what you think is the right thing to do. Turn to the friends you trust the most when you are put in a compromising situation. If your friends are making the wrong decision, then turn to your parents.
249
A man acquainted with history may, in some respect, be said to have lived from the beginning of the world, and to have been making continual additions to his stock of knowledge in every century.
250
Speculation is only a word covering the making of money out of the manipulation of prices, instead of supplying goods and services.
251
Patents are like fertilizer. Applied wisely and sparingly, they can increase growth. But if you apply too many chemicals, or make patents too strong, then you can leach the land, making growth more difficult.
252
There’s no better feeling than making your little girls laugh.
253
Helping those who have been struck by unforeseeable misfortunes is fundamentally different from making dependency a way of life.
254
255
When I do have free time, I spend it with friends, or I spend it at home writing or making something.
256
We are the miracle of force and matter making itself over into imagination and will. Incredible. The Life Force experimenting with forms. You for one. Me for another. The Universe has shouted itself alive. We are one of the shouts.
257
I see myself as a bit of a capitalist really – I like enterprise and making money.
258
People give more importance to material things, it all seems to be a power game, while people ought be making the most of every moment as time is fleeting.
259
Before you can become a millionaire, you must learn to think like one. You must learn how to motivate yourself to counter fear with courage. Making critical decisions about your career, business, investments and other resources conjures up fear, fear that is part of the process of becoming a financial success.
260
261
Good management is the art of making problems so interesting and their solutions so constructive that everyone wants to get to work and deal with them.
262
You aren’t going to find anybody that’s going to be successful without making a sacrifice and without perseverance.
263
Just the life of doing what I do, being in the public eye, it’s a stressful environment… You feel strange, self-aware, very foolish. Your third eye clicks on, just to try to maintain a healthy sense of perspective, and you think, ‘What am I doing here? I’m just making a movie, and people want all these things from me.’
264
The vast majority of people in academia, especially at the administrative level, have so little confidence in their ability to make an argument for their liberal cause, they choose to keep conservatives from making their own case at all. It’s pathetic, cowardly, unconstitutional and completely predictable.
265
If someone else isn’t making it happen for you, make it happen yourself.
266
This is the most fun thing in the world to me, making music. Sitting down, I can make songs and not leave the booth, ever, and I love it.
267
268
Leadership – leadership is about taking responsibility, not making excuses.
269
270
I always try to be smart. I try to treat all the money I’m making like it’s the last time I’m going to make it.
271
We’re always looking over our shoulders, ‘what they will think, what the press will think, what will this one – am I making the right career move?’ When you’re young you have to do all that to survive, I suppose.
272
273
What matters is ‘Have you done a better job of making our experiences feel like home on Windows?’ That’s our real goal, and that’s what we’re going to stay focused on.
274
Don’t worry about writing a book or getting famous or making money. Just lead an interesting life.
275
Mayweather was TBE – The Best Ever – at making money, but look at his highlights and look at mine. You can’t pretend it’s the same.
276
277
The concept of fair value accounting is correct and useful, but the application during periods of crisis is problematic. It’s another one of those unintended consequences of making a rule that’s supposed to be good that turns out the other way.
278
When you’re making a movie, it’s a very interiorised world.
279
280
Making my class laugh and getting in trouble. I was the class clown.
281
I believe when you meet the right person it clicks, and you both know and you start making it work, you know?
282
283
284
285
‘Frankenstein‘ was all about the idea that, through electricity and the destruction of night, man creating light and darkness, we took on god-like powers and then abused them like gods, and we are only men. That’s a story about man making a man in his own image. The inversion of natural order.
286
287
288
I think people don’t realize how little of being an artist is making art.
289
I remember, when I was a young guy in the SEAL teams, I was very afraid of making mistakes and looking stupid or doing dumb things and getting a bad reputation.
290
291
292
293
When you’re making anime, if you get all of your inspiration from anime… it’s going to lack originality and creativity, so I try to get my inspiration from different genres.
294
295
I already know what people are going to say about me, and judge me for the decisions that I’m making, and I’m going to be the one who has to deal with that, and nobody else. And that’s a lot.
296
Science has not been successful by making up explanations of things that fit with the current social fabric.
297
298
Design and style should work toward making you look good and feel good without a lot of effort so you can get on with the things that matter.
299
Now I see the secret of making the best person: it is to grow in the open air and to eat and sleep with the earth.
300
301

302
I thank God for making me a man.
303
304
305

306
307

309
310
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.

Marty was an extraordinary person. Of all the boys I had dated, he was the only one who really cared that I had a brain. And he was always – well, making me feel that I was better than I thought I was.
312
313
314
So there’s nothing more provocative than taking a genre that everybody who’s cool hates – and then making it cool.
315
The most amazing philanthropists are people who are actually making a significant sacrifice.
316
317
For me, making a mass film is tougher. A lot of things needed to be intertwined into a two-hour narrative without getting too complicated.
318
Of course I make mistakes. I’m human. If I didn’t make mistakes, I’d never learn. You can only go forward by making mistakes.
319
One of the challenges in networking is everybody thinks it’s making cold calls to strangers. Actually, it’s the people who already have strong trust relationships with you, who know you’re dedicated, smart, a team player, who can help you.
320
Football is a game you cannot play without making mistakes.
321
A myth is a way of making sense in a senseless world. Myths are narrative patterns that give significance to our existence.
322
323
324
A basic truth that the history of the creation of the transistor reveals is that the foundations of transistor electronics were created by making errors and following hunches that failed to give what was expected.
325
When making your choice in life, do not neglect to live.
326
I think it’s always the moments that are the trials that end up making you become a hero in the end. You’re not a hero unless you’ve gone through the trials. And it makes these moments so much sweeter, so much better. I don’t believe in ‘deserved,’ but I might believe in ‘earned.’
327
328
The Industrial Revolution has two phases: one material, the other social; one concerning the making of things, the other concerning the making of men.
329
I feel very lucky to have grown up having interaction with adults who were making change but who were far from perfect beings. That feeling of not being paralyzed by your incredible inadequacy as a human being, which I feel every day, is a part of the legacy that I’ve gotten from so many of the adult elders.
330
Don’t worry about being famous or making money; the most important thing is being the best. You have to become a master of your craft, and everything else will come.
331
It’s a never ending battle of making your cars better and also trying to be better yourself.
332
333
334
Back in the 1970s, Kodak tried to give $25m to a black civil rights organisation in Rochester, New York. The company’s shareholders rose up in arms: making this politically charged offering wasn’t the reason they had entrusted Kodak with their money. The donation was withdrawn.
335
336
Flaws are awesome – so, ‘flawsome!’ I love making up a word.
337
When you’re making an independent film, it’s like this actor plus this actor equals this funding, this financing. Pull this actor out, this actor is still here but this money’s gone. It’s this frightening puzzle mosaic that is the world of independent film.
338
And you realise you’re doing a public service in making people happy – as a musician you can give people something a doctor, a lawyer, a politician cannot give them that. It’s not scientific. It’s spiritual – a good feeling. And although you don’t know them personally, the audience are like your friends.
339
Being self-made means never making an excuse as to why you can’t take steps toward whatever your goal is.
340
You’ve got to try to find ways to dominate in any way – it ain’t about getting sacks, it’s about making the big plays. If that’s pressing the quarterback, making them throw a pick – whatever you’ve got to do to try to dominate the game.
341
The reason why I wanted to direct is because there are personal stories that I want to tell, but also because I love every part of movie making – from the wardrobe to the set decoration to cinematography.
342
Poetry and beauty are always making peace. When you read something beautiful you find coexistence; it breaks walls down.
343
344
Inside my empty bottle I was constructing a lighthouse while all the others were making ships.
345
Trust the young people; trust this generation‘s innovation. They’re making things, changing innovation every day. And all the consumers are the same: they want new things, they want cheap things, they want good things, they want unique things. If we can create these kind of things for consumers, they will come.
346
Whatever feminists may say about their only advocating choices, everyone knows the truth: Feminism regards work outside the home as more elevating, honorable, and personally productive than full-time mothering and making a home.
347
We are committed to making construction zones as safe as we possibly can for motorists and those working on the job.
348
One of my favourite Donald Byrd tracks is ‘Think Twice,’ and I didn’t want to sample it. I’ve always enjoyed when other people have sampled it, so I wanted to instead of making a beat with it or something like that, or freak the beat of whatever. I wanted to just recreate it in my own way, like how I heard it.
349
350
Objectifying is kind of a funny thing. Art is objectification, all art, because you’re taking someone and making them into an object. But people can also talk back more to you when you’re sketching them. They can look at you and say, ‘Oh man, you got me wrong.’
351
352
Worry about going out there and making your own legacy.
353
354
I should like to know if, taking this old Declaration of Independence, which declares that all men are equal upon principle, you begin making exceptions to it, where will you stop? If one man says it does not mean a Negro, why not another say it does not mean some other man?
355
Making movies is controlled anarchy, chaos.
356
357
358
I have seven kids. I want to watch my kids grow up. I want to participate in their activities. There’s a lot I wanted to accomplish beyond football. It all starts with making sure my heart’s healthy.
359
I am happy with my family and my colleagues and want to continue making my own kind of cinema. I have never belonged to any camp and have no friends in the industry. Most of them will pay lip service, but when it comes to doing, they tend to shy away.
360
Winners embrace hard work. They love the discipline of it, the trade-off they’re making to win. Losers, on the other hand, see it as punishment. And that’s the difference.
361
362
363
364
The making of the far-famed New York Central Park was opposed by even good men, with misguided pluck, perseverance, and ingenuity, but straight right won its way, and now that park is appreciated. So we confidently believe it will be with our great national parks and forest reservations.
365
366
My grandmother worked at one of those Bel-Air mansions, and we would go – not too often, but every now and then – to pick her up. Hollywood was probably 12 miles from my house, but it might as well have been a million miles away. The only time I saw that world was on TV. Until I started making records.
367
Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful.
368
I love travelling; going to different parts of the world and making new friends is something that I really enjoy.
369
Fame can be very dangerous, because you can start to enjoy that part of it. And that’s not the good part of what I do for a living. The good part is the making of films. The unpleasant part is the fame part, if you’re not careful.
370
In Iroquois society, leaders are encouraged to remember seven generations in the past and consider seven generations in the future when making decisions that affect the people.
371
372
Every white liberal straight man needs to take action and work at unifying all peoples of our sides and stop making women and people of color and the LGBT community fight it out themselves and just pat them on the back. We have to take active roles in supporting them, defending them, and hiring them.
373
374
If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day, he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator, shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time, he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.
375
376
Only since the Industrial Revolution have most people worked in places away from their homes or been left to raise small children without the help of multiple adults, making for an unsupported life.
377
Research shows that making eye contact is a powerful draw for guys – even in photos. Just don’t mistake duck face for flirty.
378
You’re always learning. The problem is, sometimes you stop and think you understand the world. This is not correct. The world is always moving. You never reach the point you can stop making an effort.
379
Finance is not merely about making money. It’s about achieving our deep goals and protecting the fruits of our labor. It’s about stewardship and, therefore, about achieving the good society.
380
Making poetry with a camera – that’s the essence of what I do.
381
Whether you’re making a million dollar film or a $100 million film there is never enough money, there’s never enough time.
382
Every dollar spent on nuclear is one less dollar spent on clean renewable energy and one more dollar spent on making the world a comparatively dirtier and a more dangerous place, because nuclear power and nuclear weapons go hand in hand.
383
The best way to promote and protect opportunity is through collaboration, consensus-building, and pragmatic problem-solving. Throughout nearly 30 years in public service, I have approached tough challenges by making room for as many people as possible around the table in search of common ground.
384
385
386
We need to keep making our streets safer and our criminal justice system fairer – our homeland more secure, our world more peaceful and sustainable for the next generation.
387
I don’t believe that fashion should exclude people – I have always been about making it accessible to everyone.
388
If you’re not making some mistakes, it probably means you’re not trying hard enough.
389
390
We have the duty of formulating, of summarizing, and of communicating our conclusions, in intelligible form, in recognition of the right of other free minds to utilize them in making their own decisions.
391
392
I definitely had a big head, and I’ll be the first to admit that I made some bad decisions. But back when I was making those decisions, in my head I was doing no wrong.
393
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.
394
Making money from money is like aerobatics.
395
396
397
398
Once you get past 100, it is all about not making a mistake.
399
Go vegetable heavy. Reverse the psychology of your plate by making meat the side dish and vegetables the main course.
400
401
I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You’re doing things you’ve never done before, and more importantly, you’re doing something.
402
I’d like to thank the good Lord for making me a Yankee.
403
Succeeding in business is not just about making money.
404
Management manages by making decisions and by seeing that those decisions are implemented.
405
I like the idea that I’m making things that people might think and argue about.
406
Today is either the beginning of the end, or the end of the beginning. Today we are making history.
407
Effective leadership is not about making speeches or being liked; leadership is defined by results not attributes.
408
There is the GIS world that is largely managing authoritative data sources, supporting geocentric workflows like fixing roads, making cities more livable through better planning, environmental management, forest management, drilling in the right location for oil, managing assets and utilities.
409
410
411
412
The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don’t really even notice it, so it’s part of everyday life.
413
There is a charm in making a stew, to the unaccustomed cook, from the excitement of wondering what the result will be, and whether any flavour save that of onions will survive the competition in the mixture.
414
415
When I go into making a movie, personally, I don’t try to bring other pieces of movies with me.
416
Once you make it to your point of making it, you’ll appreciate the struggle.
417
One of the most powerful tools for empowering individuals and communities is making certain that any individual who wants to receive a quality education can do so.
418
419
It really matters whether people are working on generating clean energy or improving transportation or making the Internet work better and all those things. And small groups of people can have a really huge impact.
420
I am for doing good to the poor, but I differ in opinion about the means. I think the best way of doing good to the poor is not making them easy in poverty, but leading or driving them out of it.
421
Every time I rap about being a big girl in a small world, it’s doing a couple things: it’s empowering my self-awareness, my body image, and it’s also making the statement that we are all bigger than this; we’re a part of something bigger than this, and we should live in each moment knowing that.
422
When it comes to making tough decisions, I’m ready to make them.
423
When making music I sink myself into the process as deeply as I can and forget all of the success.
424
425
I think that when you get dressed in the morning, sometimes you’re really making a decision about your behavior for the day. Like if you put on flipflops, you’re saying: ‘Hope I don’t get chased today.’ ‘Be nice to people in sneakers.’
426
One of the advantages of being disorderly is that one is constantly making exciting discoveries.
427
I’m always afraid of making mistakes. I think I was born with that.
428
429
If you are born poor, whether white or black, you are going to be in a bad neighborhood and go to a bad school. If you are making three million dollars a year, a couple hundred thousand in taxes ain’t gonna kill you.
430
Don’t say Aretha is making a comeback, because I’ve never been away!
431
I found by deeper breathing, going into the cold, thinking about it, dealing with it; getting the conviction that my ability to breathe deeper is making connections with my body.
432
433
It is most regrettable that nuclear energy is being harnessed for making nuclear weapons.
434
435
I don’t think there’s so much difference between making documentaries and feature films. I think it’s even harder to make documentaries.
436
437
I’m hopeless at small talk and have a problem making eye contact.
438
439
We can’t get to the $4 trillion in savings that we need by just cutting the 12 percent of the budget that pays for things like medical research and education funding and food inspectors and the weather service. And we can’t just do it by making seniors pay more for Medicare.
440
Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other’s speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.
441
We may be coming to a new golden age of instrument making.
442
443
I’ll always love the time I spent making ‘Black and White.’
444
I try to be respectful about getting an honor or recognition, but I don’t really know what the Rock Hall actually is. In my experience with the people who run it, I don’t see it having to do with anything other than them making money.
445
446
447
I started in the restaurant business at the age of 19 as a waitress. I loved the atmosphere and the camaraderie of the restaurant business. I loved not having to go to an office. I loved making people happy.
448
Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we’re making the right decision. What we do know is that wherever we are, that’s where the Light wants us to be. It’s the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don’t try to control the situation, then we won’t end up in the place we shouldn’t be.
449
One man’s trash is another man‘s treasure, and the by-product from one food can be perfect for making another.
450
You never know when you’re making a memory.
451
What progress we are making. In the Middle Ages they would have burned me. Now they are content with burning my books.
452
I believe that every leader has a right to implement his own policy. But when I see things that are done that are not right – abuse of power, wrong approaches, wrong strategies, making use of foreign consultants, including those discarded by other countries – I feel that I have to have my say.
453
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.
454
High office teaches decision making, not substance. It consumes intellectual capital; it does not create it. Most high officials leave office with the perceptions and insights with which they entered; they learn how to make decisions but not what decisions to make.
455
Everyone knows what it’s like to make the wrong decision for the right reasons. For me, wrong decisions are the heart of drama – a character who’s always making the right decisions is boring.
456
457
Tact is the art of making a point without making an enemy.
458
It doesn’t matter which side of the fence you get off on sometimes. What matters most is getting off. You cannot make progress without making decisions.
459
If you want to change the world, start off by making your bed.
460
461
Poetry is plucking at the heartstrings, and making music with them.
462
463
A hen is only an egg’s way of making another egg.
464
465
466
Universal education is not only a moral imperative but an economic necessity, to pave the way toward making many more nations self-sufficient and self-sustaining.
467
468
You should feel good about making your home nicer for your family and your friends. You should feel great about cooking a good dinner and making a dress for a granddaughter, creating a beautiful birthday party. It’s all part of life.
469
Making better choices takes work. There is a daily give and take, but it is worth the effort.
470
471
Too many women throw themselves into romance because they’re afraid of being single, then start making compromises and losing their identity. I won’t do that.
472
I am making amends and seeking forgiveness. My only hope is that some good can come out of my situation.
473
474
The heart is forever making the head its fool.
475
476
477
478
An eye for an eye only ends up making the whole world blind.
479
480
You know, the process of making a documentary is one of discovery, and like writing a story, you follow a lead and that leads you to something else and then by the time you finish, the story is nothing like you expected.
481
A woman should be home with the children, building that home and making sure there’s a secure family atmosphere.
482
A man at work, making something which he feels will exist because he is working at it and wills it, is exercising the energies of his mind and soul as well as of his body. Memory and imagination help him as he works.
483
Once we’re willing to confront our emotional suffering, we begin making choices based on attraction instead of aversion, love instead of fear. Where we used to think about what was ‘safe,’ we now become interested in doing what seems right or fun or meaningful or ripe with possibilities.
484
I try to live my life where I end up at a point where I have no regrets. So I try to choose the road that I have the most passion on because then you can never really blame yourself for making the wrong choices. You can always say you’re following your passion.
485
The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake.
486
The speed of decision making is the essence of good governance.
487
Well, I was making a record, and I had to choose a name, because they said, you know, you can’t make a record under the name of Reg Dwight, because it’s never going to – you know, it’s not attractive enough.
488
Intel is not the right person to be making clothing or even wristbands. We want to provide the fashion industry with the technical solutions.
