My intentions are I’m living my life and my life is created by my parents, my different experiences, my languages, my culture and, yeah, my kids do have very Spanish-influenced names.
192
Throughout my life my greatest benefactors have been my dreams and my travels; very few men, living or dead, have helped me in my struggle.
193
One of the most wonderful memories in my life was when I sang at the Opera House in Sydney. I will never forget that. It is one of the most beautiful Houses I have ever sung in my life.
Nana Mouskouri
194
I just bring a black turtleneck sweater everywhere – it’s the greatest purchase of my life. Period.
195
The joys of my life are my granddaughters. They are beautiful. You don’t have to believe me. You can ask my wife. She’ll tell you.
Dom DeLuise
196
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.
197
I am Pisces, with Aries on the ascent. I couldn’t have done all I’ve done in my life if it hadn’t been for Aries.
198
I’ve been absolutely terrified every moment of my life – and I’ve never let it keep me from doing a single thing I wanted to do.
199
I’ve missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I’ve lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I’ve been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed.
200
It’s a full time job – trying to be at peace in my life, trying to be a better person and be best in every way I can be, be a good brother, be a good actor and a good human being.
201
I’m tired of living the vanilla, non-offensive life. I think that’s a really sad way to spend my life, and I lived it like that because that’s what I was brought up in, taught to not rock the ship.
202
I want to live and feel all the shades, tones, and variations of mental and physical experience possible in my life. And I am horribly limited.
203
I would live all my life in nonchalance and insouciance, Were it not for making a living, which is rather a nouciance.
204
I look to the future because that’s where I’m going to spend the rest of my life.
205
Music is still part of my life, but I hate the idea of people coming to see me play the guitar because they’ve seen me in movies. You want people who are listening to be only interested in the music.
206
The decision to use a pen name was nothing more than a desire to compartmentalise my life. However, I had not thought about an appropriate pseudonym, and since there’s an abundance of anagrams in the novel, the idea struck me: why not use an anagram of my name? Hence, Shawn Haigins.
207
Poverty was the greatest motivating factor in my life.
Jimmy Dean
208
I’m most proud of the blessings that God has bestowed upon me, in my life. He’s given me the vision to truly see that you can fall down, but you can still get back up. Hopefully I’ll learn from my mistakes and have the opportunity to strengthen and improve the next thing I do.
Martin Lawrence
209
It’s just a whole different thing, and it’s just that my life has been a blessing, and I thank god every day for the gifts that he has given me and for my daughter and to be able to watch her grow and be a part of her joys and her excitement and what she wants to do in life.
210
The only thing I regret about my past is the length of it. If I had to live my life again I’d make all the same mistakes – only sooner.
Tallulah Bankhead
211
Israel changed my life. It is one of the most amazing countries that I have ever been to.
212
All my life I’ve looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.
213
I’m always thinking about creating. My future starts when I wake up every morning… Every day I find something creative to do with my life.
Miles Davis
214
My life has been a happy accident. Anybody who succeeds in anything should count their lucky stars, because that’s the biggest element. It’s not hard work; it’s not necessarily talent.
215
I should get a few ribs taken out, because I’ll be in a corset for the rest of my life.
216
Wave after wave of love flooded the stage and washed over me, the beginning of the one great durable romance of my life.
217
218
I’m a fun-loving guy. I enjoy my life. I have a big kid inside me.
219
Honestly, I feel like everything in life happens for a reason, and my son has been the greatest gift that God has given me in my life and been the most game-changing thing that’s happened to my life, in a necessary way.
220
Half my life is an act of revision.
221
It is as if my life were magically run by two electric currents: joyous positive and despairing negative – whichever is running at the moment dominates my life, floods it.
222
I know the feeling of confusion and betrayal. I know the feeling of fearing for my life.
223
I try not to put anything political on the forefront of what I’m trying to do creatively. At the same time, I do think it’s wonderful when I hear people say that it’s inspirational that I’m an Indian woman on camera. My life is very diverse, and my friends are a diverse group of people.
224
I’m going to be true to what I want to do, because if I care what people think about me, I’m a puppet. Which I have been in my life. And you can’t live life that way, man!
225
It’s been a crazy whirlwind, but I’m so blown away by God’s hand on my life.
226
My parents taught me about the importance of qualities like kindness, respect, and honesty, and I realize how central values like these have been to me throughout my life.
227
Anything I wanted to do and achieve has not been influential in my life, but my failures have.
228
There is my life in Cuba and my life in America, the old life and the new life, and almost nothing about them is the same.
229
A thought transfixed me: for the first time in my life, I saw the truth as it is set into song by so many poets, proclaimed as the final wisdom by so many thinkers. The truth – that love is the ultimate and the highest goal to which man can aspire.
230
I’m not going to change the way I look or the way I feel to conform to anything. I’ve always been a freak. So I’ve been a freak all my life and I have to live with that, you know. I’m one of those people.
231
232
I gave my life to become the person I am right now. Was it worth it?
233
I do realize that God has given me so many blessings in my life. I mean, not only with football, but with the family that He’s blessed me with and the opportunity He’s given me to grow up in a home that embraces God.
Sam Bradford
234
My life is not that glamorous. I actually live a pretty simple life, really. I just work. I don’t have time to do all these glamorous things. I just do my thing, just work.
235
Since I was a kid, music has been a huge part of my life. My parents had a pretty solid vinyl collection and exposed me to some amazing artists.
236
When Shanthi Ranganathan was the featured turn on ‘Hip Hop Saved My Life With Romesh Ranganathan,’ we learned she didn’t allow him to have a girlfriend until he’d finished university, and she learned – to her unfeigned horror – that he used to sneak girls into the house when she was out.
237
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.
238
Whatever happens, I’m going to adapt to it. I always been like that all my life.
239
I was raised on a ranch in Wyoming, and I’ve been riding horses most of my life.
Larry Wilcox
240
I’m at the age where food has taken the place of sex in my life. In fact, I’ve just had a mirror put over my kitchen table.
241
As a kid, I kind of spent my life being amazed by being tricked. I love being tricked. I still love it today.
242
Live, so you do not have to look back and say: ‘God, how I have wasted my life.’
243
I really try to live my life a little more, in ways I would hold back from previously.
244
When I look back over my life it’s almost as if there was a plan laid out for me – from the little girl who was so passionate about animals who longed to go to Africa and whose family couldn’t afford to put her through college. Everyone laughed at my dreams. I was supposed to be a secretary in Bournemouth.
245
I may have had a lot of luck in my life, but I still need to find a challenge in the game.
246
I see what happens when one gets very attached to material things. That’s just not what my life is.
247
I just have beautiful memories of what has happened in my life.
248
Timing has always been a key element in my life. I have been blessed to have been in the right place at the right time.
249
Everything in my life I owe to God, my family, the Naval Academy, and the Marine Corps.
250
The terrorists thought they would change my aims and stop my ambitions, but nothing changed in my life except this: weakness, fear and hopelessness died. Strength, power and courage were born.
251
I define my life around happiness, being safe, being able to enjoy life and live this life for a long time.
252
When I’m singing or on stage, I become complete all of a sudden. I’m whole. I don’t think I’ve really had that in so many other things in my life.
253
Mr. Bachchan is one of the best things to have happened in my life. The best teacher, the best guru.
254
If I studied all my life, I couldn’t think up half the number of funny things passed in one session of congress.
255
The arts saved my life.
Michael K. Williams
256
After I got my gold medal, I thought, ‘This isn’t just me. It belongs to my team, my friends, my family, the fans, everybody who’s impacted my life – this is our gold medal.’ So when someone asks to try it on, I’m like, ‘Sure, why not?’ I might be a little too relaxed about it, but why would I keep it to myself?
257
I’ve never once in my life had a tan – I’m basically a ghost!
258
Maintenance of good relations with the neighbours, friendship to all, malice to none is the policy I pursue throughout my life.
259
I’d been to a number of war zones before in my life, but I had never been in one as terrifying as Chechnya.
Scott Anderson
260
My life is PG-13 sometimes, and I really want Josh Grogan to propose to me, and he just won’t do it.
261
I’m just living my life the way I want to. I have the freedom to do that.
262
The Congo was the most difficult shoot of my life but was also maybe the greatest adventure of my life.
263
I need drama in my life to keep making music.
264
Good luck happens to people who work hard for it. Sometimes people just fall into the honey pot, but I’ve consistently strived to create whatever good fortune I can get in my life – and consistently strive just as hard not to screw it up once I have it!
265
Only reality interests me now and I know I could spend the rest of my life in copying a chair.
Alberto Giacometti
266
When I swapped studying for a wage and a proper job, Mam and Dad were devastated. I was rejecting an opportunity they never had. But their eldest son, at 16, wanted only to follow his father down the pit. It was to be the biggest education of my life.
267
Julia Roberts most definitely would play me in the film of my life. Not just because of the hair but because she has all sides to her personality come through in films that I could just imagine her playing my crazy self so well.
268
I just knew that was what I wanted to do. I was going to perform as a singer; I was going to perform as a dancer, and I was, you know, going to do movies and be an actress. I was going to do it or die trying. That’s what my life was.
269
I don’t fear being outspoken. The only thing I fear is losing my sense of integrity or losing sight of the values on which I guide my life. So I don’t think it’s particularly brave or unusual for me to speak out.
270
You go through life experiences. Each record captures a different turning point in my life.
271
I can see a version of my life where it all becomes meaningless. On a good day, writing seems noble. Other times, it’s narcissistic and pointless.
272
I knew what I wanted to do when I was 13 and I had to go through four years of high school to get out. That’s a blessing, because I never had to lay on my bed staring up at the ceiling going, ‘What am I going to do with my life?’
273
If I were to live my life over again, I would be an American. I would steep myself in America, I would know no other land.
274
I have a confidence about my life that comes from standing tall on my own two feet.
275
I love my life, and I try to keep my fans happy.
276
Acting is playing pretend, playing a children’s game at an adult level, but with children’s rules. It’s fun to play bad guys. I’ve never been in a fight in my life, so it’s fun to play something that’s different.
277
Every time I start to get worked up over something, I just think to myself, ‘Is this really going to matter in my life tomorrow, in an hour, in a year?’ You just can’t get stressed about the little things ’cause it’s just not worth it at the end of the day.
278
My son has been the best thing that has happened in my life. He has been amazing, and he is truly heaven-sent. And so, I just feel all that love.
279
I am grateful to all the ups and downs in my life.
280
I know I’m going to blow one day. My life is doomed the way it is. I have no future.
281
I don’t want anything negative in my life, like hate, comparison, competition, and jealousy. I think these things are very heavy and take away from you the way of enjoying life.
282
I have no room in my life for any form of negativity or nonacceptance.
283
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.
Bede Griffiths
284
I have a phone obsession. It’s really hard on set sometimes because I’ll be checking Instagram, and then I have to remember, ‘Oh, crap, I have to shoot a scene or rehearse.’ Every now and then, I have to turn it off and live my life.
285
I have done a lot of crazy things in my life, and I do not regret anything.
286
I choose not to think of my life as surviving, but coping.
287
I wound up sticking with violin because it was the strongest current in my life.
288
‘Tulip Fever‘ did change my life. It did that thing that sometimes happens when a book takes off – it opened doors on to whole other worlds.
289
I had a very big crush on Errol Flynn during ‘Captain Blood.’ I thought he was absolutely smashing for three solid years, but he never guessed. Then he had one on me but nothing came of it. I’m not going to regret that; it could have ruined my life.
290
All my life I knew that there was all the money you could want out there. All you have to do is go after it.
Curtis Carlson
291
Your subconscious mind is trying to help you all the time. That’s why I keep a journal – not for chatter but for mostly the images that flow into the mind or little ideas. I keep a running journal, and I have all of my life, so it’s like your gold mine when you start writing.
292
All the adversity I’ve had in my life, all my troubles and obstacles, have strengthened me… You may not realize it when it happens, but a kick in the teeth may be the best thing in the world for you.
293
There are a lot of things going on with my life right now that don’t just have to do with career. So I have a hard time making decisions about work. That’s really a luxury problem.
294
There is nothing left to me but honor, and my life, which is saved.
Francis I
295
I don’t go off and sit down and try to write material, because then it’s contrived and forced. I just live my life, and I see things in a word or a situation or a concept, and it will create a joke for me.
296
Every musician, their goal in life is to play music that people love, and I’ve accomplished my goal. I was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and left that chapter of my life and those people in the past. Good and bad, I’ve loved and am thankful for that chapter.
297
The sky is always there for me, while my life has been going through many, many changes. When I look up the sky, it gives me a nice feeling, like looking at an old friend.
298
I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody.
299
I’d rather give my life than be afraid to give it.
300
I’ve only had four ideas for a novel in my life, and I’ve written all of them.
301
I cannot join the space program and restart my life as an astronaut, but this opportunity to connect my abilities as an educator with my interests in history and space is a unique opportunity to fulfill my early fantasies.
302
My best background is, like, smash opponents. I all the time go forward. I all the time try to take down somebody. Make him give up. This is my style, you know. This is what I do all my life.
303
I rely on other people every day of my life.
304
There’s a reason poets often say, ‘Poetry saved my life,’ for often the blank page is the only one listening to the soul’s suffering, the only one registering the story completely, the only one receiving all softly and without condemnation.
305
Movement has been one of the few constants in my life, and I always feel a great sense of optimism when I set off to a new place.
306
I have been very blessed in my life and rewarded with good friends and good health. I am grateful and happy to be able to share this.
307
I have a lot of things to prove to myself. One is that I can live my life fearlessly.
308
Once I knew only darkness and stillness… my life was without past or future… but a little word from the fingers of another fell into my hand that clutched at emptiness, and my heart leaped to the rapture of living.
309
My natural state is to be happy. I’m naturally buoyant. I wake up feeling, ‘What a great morning!’ I’ve had some tragedy in my life, absolutely, but I don’t know one human being who hasn’t. You either learn from it and become empowered by it, or you become a victim to it. It’s life, after all.
310
When I was 23, I climbed this mountain in Alaska called Devil‘s Thumb alone. It was incredibly dangerous, and I did it because I thought that if I did something that hard and pulled it off, my life was gonna be transformed. And of course, nothing happened. But I get the search for purpose.
311
Music is everywhere and in everything! I draw my inspiration from the day to day activities of my life!
312
Real estate is my life. It is my day job, if you will. But it consumes my nights and weekends, too.
313
I’ve never lifted a single weight in my life.
314
I invented my life by taking for granted that everything I did not like would have an opposite, which I would like.
315
‘That ’70s Show’ was one of the highlights of my life. I didn’t expect to be on it as long as I was.
316
If I were to say, ‘God, why me?’ about the bad things, then I should have said, ‘God, why me?’ about the good things that happened in my life.
Arthur Ashe
317
By nature, I’m a very positive person, and because I’m happy in myself, and in my life, and I’ve got a great husband, and beautiful children, and I have a job that I love that calls for a certain amount of emotional expression, I get to realise a lot of my dreams and aspirations.
318
There are certain things about me that I will never tell to anyone because I am a very private person. But basically, what you see is who I am. I’m independent, I do like to be liked, I do look for the good side of life and people. I’m positive, I’m disciplined, I like my life in order, and I’m neat as a pin.
319
Thought is powerful in all phases. Even in my career, even in my life, things end up exactly how I visualized them.
320
The sweetest feeling you can have in this world is to feel the hand of the Lord upon your shoulder. In my patriarchal blessing as a boy, I was promised that I would have the gift of discernment. I have to acknowledge that such a declaration has been abundantly fulfilled in my life.
321
All my life, the naysayers have told me that I can’t win because I’m a progressive… because I’m a woman… even because I’m a lesbian.
Tammy Baldwin
322
I loved reading when I grew up but did feel totally invisible because I couldn’t see myself and my life reflected in the books I was reading.
323
The events of my life are too unimportant, and have too little interest for any person not of my immediate family, to render them worth communicating or preserving.
324
I have spent a great deal of my life being part of minorities. Some of the people I admire the most in the world have had the courage to defend, against wind and tide, minority viewpoints in those frightening times when any disagreement with universal conformity is identified as treason.
325
I live my life exactly the way I want to. Nothing stops me from going out or being anywhere that I want to be. I am doing whatever I want to do. I do not live my life according to any restrictions whatsoever!
326
I sent one e-mail in my life. I sent it to Jeff Raikes at Microsoft, and it ended up in court in Minneapolis, so I am one for one.
327
To choose ways of not acting was ever the concern and scruple of my life.
Fernando Pessoa
328
The perfect life is the combination of great moments and bad ones, and under that point of view, my life is fantastic, because I’ve certainly hit more than one bump.
329
My life has been such a blur since I was 18, 19 years old. I haven’t even had time to contemplate my own life. By forcing yourself to write your life story you learn a great deal about yourself.
330
The happiest moment of my life was probably when my daughter was born.
331
I saw that giving even all my life to God (supposing it possible to do this and go no further) would profit me nothing unless I gave my heart, yea, all my heart, to Him.
332
Music bypasses the brain and goes straight to the heart. I wish my life had more of it.
333
I have been constantly betrayed and deceived all my life.
334
We’ve become, now, an oligarchy instead of a democracy. I think that’s been the worst damage to the basic moral and ethical standards to the American political system that I’ve ever seen in my life.
335
Chess is my life, but my life is not chess.
336
I think, all my life, I’ve grown up and had high expectations, but that becomes so stressful.
337
I love my life!
338
Our heavenly Father understands our disappointment, suffering, pain, fear, and doubt. He is always there to encourage our hearts and help us understand that He’s sufficient for all of our needs. When I accepted this as an absolute truth in my life, I found that my worrying stopped.
339
I just like to do the fun stuff. If I’m not having fun with it, I’m not going to do it for the rest of my life.
340
I always felt like I needed to act. Not that I wanted to act, but I needed to. And I still feel that same way. There’s an expression that I get to have in acting that I can’t consciously express in my life. It has always defined me and it always will.
341
I let people see the cracks in my life. We can’t be phony. We’ve got to keep it real.
342
Racism, anti-Semitism, homophobia, sexism, anything Nazi and a boatload of other things have no place in my life.
343
The very contradictions in my life are in some ways signs of God’s mercy to me.
344
I’ve really had two heroes in my life. My father and Ronald Reagan.
345
My life needs editing.
Mort Sahl
346
I’m half living my life between reality and fantasy at all times.
347
I hit Damian Fuller with a left hook that left him laid out for 30-45 minutes. They brought oxygen to him, they couldn’t wake him up, he was out cold. The television station kept having to take breaks, he was out so long. It was unbelievable. That was the best one-shot I’ve ever done in my life.
Diego Corrales
348
I take all of my life lessons, which some people might call ‘mistakes,’ and apply them to my future so that I keep growing.
Kimberly Caldwell
349
I will form good habits and become their slave. And how will I accomplish this difficult feat? Through these scrolls it will be done, for each scroll contains a principle which will drive a bad habit from my life and replace it with one which will bring me closer to success.
350
Football has been my life and Real Madrid my home and together we have lived unique moments.
351
I’m at a place in my life right now where I’m very happy, very content. I’m finally OK with the idea of who I love, who I want to be with.
352
I’m very type-A, and many things in my life are about control and domination, but eating should be a submissive experience, where you let down your guard and enjoy the ride.
353
The people that matter to me the most are the people that are in my life. That’s who I really learn from, and it’s always a very personal kind of connection.
354
I haven’t understood a bar of music in my life, but I have felt it.
355
I have no fear of losing my life – if I have to save a koala or a crocodile or a kangaroo or a snake, mate, I will save it.
356
When I stand before God at the end of my life, I would hope that I would not have a single bit of talent left, and could say, ‘I used everything you gave me’.
357
All my life, I have loved balloons – all balloons – the heavy English sort, immense and round, that have to be pushed about, and the gay, light, gas-filled French ones that soar into the air the moment you let go of them.
358
I’ve made a lot of mistakes in my life. I wouldn’t say musically, though.
Future
359
All that I know about my life, it seems, I have learned in books.
360
I decided in my life that I would do nothing that did not reflect positively on my father’s life.
361
I’m only going to stand before God and give an account for my life, not for somebody else’s life. If I have a bad attitude, then I need to say there’s no point in me blaming you for what’s wrong in my life.
362
Life and death have been lacking in my life.
363
I was raised in the Catholic Church, and for me, the thought in the Bible and Christianity, and the spirit within that, is one of the guiding principles in my life.
364
I am always looking forward to learn new things in my life.
365
I don’t fear nobody, and that’s how I live my life. I live my life with no fears.
366
There are old heads in the world who cannot help me by their example or advice to live worthily and satisfactorily to myself; but I believe that it is in my power to elevate myself this very hour above the common level of my life.
367
You leave old habits behind by starting out with the thought, ‘I release the need for this in my life’.
368
I call my life a beautiful mess and organised chaos. It’s just always been like that. My entire life things have been attracted to me and vice versa that turn into chaotic nightmares or I create the chaos myself.
Mindy McCready
369
The reason of my life is not to be the most beautiful woman in the world.
370
I know my life story sounds too extraordinary to be true.
371
I think of my life as a journey, and I’m still on it.
372
I love Jesus Christ with all my heart and everything He stands for. I think that sums up everything that I want for my life, everything I want for my family, everything I want for my career. I want it to be entertaining. I want people to smile and tap their toes, but I want it to be meaningful when the day is done.
373
No matter how tough my life was, I was always looking up at the sky and wishing for good things.
374
I don’t care about what nobody say or how nobody feel. I’m happy, I’m living my life, and that’s what it is.
21 Savage
375
I was born in a University campus and seem to have lived all my life in one campus or another.
Amartya Sen
376
Nixon was the most dishonest individual I have ever met in my life. He lied to his wife, his family, his friends, his colleagues in the Congress, lifetime members of his own political party, the American people and the world.
Barry Goldwater
377
The people I love, I’m committed to loving for the rest of my life.
378
I live my life day by day, and that’s how I continue to live it.
379
I like to think that today is the best day of my life and tomorrow will be the next best day of my life. And if you think that way, you’re living for the beauty of today.
380
Sex does not exist for me at all. I haven’t had a boyfriend for a long time. There were only three or four in my life up until now anyway.
Kim Wilde
381
I think women should start to embrace their age. What’s the alternative to getting older? You die. I can’t change the day I was born. But I can take care of my skin, my body, my mind, and try to live my life and be happy.
382
I don’t imagine myself, my work, or my life, fitting into any kind of standardized path. In fact, the idea of there even being a standard freaks me out a lot.
383
I have so many wonderful people in my life. I’ve never had any major physical problems or an accident or anything like that. I’m a very, very lucky person, thus far, knock on wood.
384
My life path number is 7. One of the qualities is leadership. If I’m not being a leader, I’m not doing what I’m supposed to be doing.
385
Looking back at it now, any objective account of my life is bound to read like a cross between ‘The Wife of Bath‘s Tale’ and a travel brochure.
386
I’m not a gambling-man. I have never bet a dollar in all my life.
John Forsythe
387
I’m reticent to say much more, but we would like to begin in the coming year. We’d like to shoot through the seasons because of the passage of time. This project is the great love of my life.
388
As soon as it was understood that we could handle things in our own way, it was the thrill of my life to walk out on that stage with people just hemming the band in.
Benny Goodman
389
My daily routine is set: I wake up and go for gymnastics, then dance class, gym, and come back home. That’s my life. I am very boring.
390
The most interesting guy I’ve ever played with was King Hassan of Morocco. I went over there on a trip in the early 1970s, and the King and I played five holes. I’ve never been that nervous in my life.
391
The presence of any humility in my life is purely and completely an evidence of God’s grace. From my perspective, I am not a humble man. I am a proud man pursuing humility by the grace of God.
C. J. Mahaney
392
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.
393
I have been a teacher myself all my life. I have an intense passion to share with people. Our only salvation is in knowledge, in learning.
394
I don’t want to spend my life on an ice cube.
395
I don’t think my life would be significantly poorer if I don’t impersonate Nick Clegg. Life is short enough without sitting up night after night listening to tapes of him.
396
One of the biggest obstacles I’ve overcome in my life was thinking I didn’t deserve to be successful. Artistically I’m not as much of a heavyweight as someone like Paul Simon or Joni Mitchell, because I’m not a creator of original music, and I worried about that for years.
397
My life is short. I can’t listen to banality.
398
I will stay faithful to what God has called me to do all the days of my life, and I don’t try to figure it out.
399
Music is a part of my life all the time – on the plane, before matches, driving out to the court.
400
My life is an open book. You’re welcome to speculate.
401
I have measured out my life with coffee spoons.
402
I have a responsibility to nurture and shepherd my talent and when I’m living the parts of my life not related to that I feel I have the right to be left alone.
403
All I want is to live a peaceful life, to regain my life and be happy.
404
I am a Senator against my wishes and feelings, which I regret more than any other of my life.
405
Vision connects you. But it also separates you. In my work, and my life, I feel a desire to merge. Not in terms of losing my own identity… but there’s a feeling that life is interconnected, that there’s life in stones and rocks and trees and dirt, like there is in us.
406
I did not want to go out at 5:30 in the morning with my stocking cap and my navy pea coat on and shoot lines and grades for the rest of my life.
A. James Clark
407
Music has always been a huge part of my life from a very young age, and today it remains a very powerful and natural way for me to connect with people, as well as my children.
408
If some years were added to my life, I would give fifty to the study of the Yi, and then I might come to be without great faults.
409
My life is storytelling. I believe in stories, in their incredible power to keep people alive, to keep the living alive, and the dead.
410
The thing that would most improve my life is 27 hours in a day. I could meet all my deadlines.
411
My life is a struggle.
412
My shyness probably defined the first 30 years of my life, really. It’s a crippling thing. It can be very lonely knowing that you’ve got things to say, but you daren’t say them.
413
I have spent many years of my life in opposition, and I rather like the role.
414
I find my life is a lot easier the lower I keep everyone’s expectations.
415
My life is actually empty, so I feel like I’m lying to everyone by pretending to be happy on the outside.
416
It’s not my plan or whatever in my life to be a sex symbol. It never is. You are who you are, but you can’t help what you look like. And when you do a film, like for me, it’s just not about that. I would prefer to downplay it. I prefer to downplay the sex appeal.
417
I want to take my life and the time I have on this earth to try to tell others about Jesus, that Jesus Christ is God’s son who took our sins to the Cross and shed His blood for our sins.
418
I’m an entrepreneur. This is my life. This my career. This the way I eat.
Future
419
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.
420
I admit to wasting my life messing around with fast cars and motorcycles.
Brock Yates
421
There have been two great accidents in my life. One was the trolley, and the other was Diego. Diego was by far the worst.
422
I say to myself that I shall try to make my life like an open fireplace, so that people may be warmed and cheered by it and so go out themselves to warm and cheer.
423
It’s well known I’m a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it’s something that has given me great stability and tools that I use.
424
I will not have my life narrowed down. I will not bow down to somebody else’s whim or to someone else’s ignorance.
425
My life has been nothing short of a fairy tale.
426
I’ve had so many injuries in my life that it’s ridiculous.
427
I have never smuggled anything in my life. Why, then, do I feel an uneasy sense of guilt on approaching a customs barrier?
428
Attitude and enthusiasm play a big part in my life. I get excited about the things that inspire me. I also believe in laughing and having a good time.
429
There has been a lot of self-doubt and unwelcome events in my life.
430
I’ve never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
431
My debut album, ‘Forget the World,’ is all about not listening to the negativity around you and to continue to do what you love, no matter what people think. I love what I do. Dance music is my passion, my life. There is no greater feeling than being one with my fans, partying to the music we love.
432
Throughout my life, there are four people I’ve met who were truly original people. The other three were Groucho Marx, Jim Morrison, and Pablo Picasso.
433
These words dropped into my childish mind as if you should accidentally drop a ring into a deep well. I did not think of them much at the time, but there came a day in my life when the ring was fished up out of the well, good as new.
434
I have, indeed, lived most of my life overseas, but I’ve returned repeatedly to work in film, special television productions, and the New York theater. There have also been tributes and similar occasions that have called me back to Hollywood. I’ve returned so often, I almost feel that I’ve never left.
435
I famously tasted shark fin soup many, many years ago before we understood exactly what was going on with the harvesting of sharks. I’ve consequently come out against it. I make personal choices in my life and stand behind them.
436
I made the record that my life had me make. Each one is like a diary.
437
I am blessed to have so many great things in my life – family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
438
I pray almost every day, and you can see that I pray on the pitch. I pray in the dressing room. That is just part of my life.
439
Life seeks life and loves life. The opening of a catkin of a willow, in the flight of the butterfly, in the chirping of a tree-toad or the sweep of an eagle – my life loves to see how others live, exults in their joy, and so far is partner in their great concern.
440
When I was 20, I was the hustlerrubbing my temples, stressed, trying to get out the streets, trying to take my life to another side of the game with something I really loved to do: rap music.
441
I think that I am lucky and blessed to have the job that I have, and I am trying to create longevity. If that means that I transition into different things at different points in my life, then that’s fine. I also believe that if doors don’t open, make new doors, so I’ve also started producing quite a bit of things.
442
I don’t need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me.
443
The principal factors which influenced my life are 1) nonviolent tactics; 2) constitutional means; 3) democratic procedures; 4) respect for human personality; 5) a belief that all people are one.
444
Winning is the most important thing in my life, after breathing. Breathing first, winning next.
George Steinbrenner
445
As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.
446
My interest is in the future because I am going to spend the rest of my life there.
447
I’ve felt like an outsider all my life. It comes from my mother, who always felt like an outsider in my father’s family. She was a powerful woman, and she motivated my father.
448
I’ve put my life back together, but it’s all a growing process and that’s neat, too, because if you stop growing, what good is it musically? So that is what I am looking forward to – growing. In some ways, I felt stagnant in my life and it showed.
449
I always loved hip-hop, being a black little kid. I always used to freestyle on the bus when I was young. It was always a part of my life.
450
I will remember this day for the rest of my life. There is nothing you can say. It’s just like you won the match after the earthquake and it just feels great.
Elena Vesnina
451
I’ve spent my life butting my head against other people’s lack of imagination.
452
I don’t smoke. I don’t drink. I don’t use drugs. That may be boring for some people, but that’s just me. That’s how I live my life.
453
My life is like a speeding bullet that just hasn’t hit the target yet.
454
The minute I stepped foot on the shop floor and started serving in a retail environment, I knew it was the career for me. I was a shop assistant for just one day, and I thought, ‘This is it. This is the rest of my life. This is all I want to do.’
455
I like all types of women. I accept them as they are when they come into my life… But I’m not a romantic. I’m just up-front. I like to be a part of something real, not make-believe. I tell women to tell me the truth, to just lay it out. Let me be the judge and decide if I want you around or not. Let me have my choice.
Future
456
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.
457
The Christ path is the path I’ve walked all my life, so it’s normal and natural. And I have no reason to abandon it because it leads to where I want to go.
458
I have never been able, really, to figure out where my life begins and where it ends. I have never, never been able to figure it all out, what it’s all about, what it all means.
459
Like my mother, I was always saying, ‘I’ll fix my life one day.’ It became clear when I saw her die without fulfilling her dreams that my time was now or maybe never.
460
Milan is not just a team for me. It is part of my life.
461
The more simple my life is, the happier I am.
462
For me, being out within my life became far more important than being in any movie.
463
I never regret. I don’t like to look back on my life and have regrets.
464
My mother has been the greatest influence on my life, morally. When I get right down to it, my mother and father are two people I can count on no matter what.
Jack Wagner
465
I don’t think there’s anything they can say about me that I haven’t said about myself already. And I would be an absolute total liar, and my fans would not respect me, if I said that my life and my marriage are perfect. But we absolutely love each other; we have fun together – it’s great.
466
I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.
467
So I’m very grateful for everything that has happened in my life.
Alice Barrett
468
I’ve spent as much of my life fishing as decency allowed, and sometimes I don’t let even that get in my way.
469
I played some ping pong with the guys on the T’Wolves team. I might have been the champ on that team, too. But ping pong is a big part of my life. I grew up playing it against my brother and my father when I was young. They used to kick my behind for a long time, so I got very good at it.
470
I’m not into one-night stands. I’ve only slept with three guys in my life and they all involve relationships.
471
At the age of 18, I made up my mind to never have another bad day in my life. I dove into a endless sea of gratitude from which I’ve never emerged.
472
I get half a million just to show up at parties. My life is, like, really, really fun.
473
My sole ambition is to rid Mexico of the class that has oppressed her and given the people a chance to know what real liberty means. And if I could bring that about today by giving up my life, I would do it gladly.
Pancho Villa
474
I would rather drudge out my life on a cotton plantation, till the grave opened to give me rest, than to live with an unprincipled master and a jealous mistress.
475
If there’s not drama and negativity in my life, all my songs will be really wack and boring or something.
476
I think, if I had a dad, I would have went the normal college route. I’m so stoked my life panned out how it was.
477
My diabetes is such a central part of my life… it did teach me discipline… it also taught me about moderation… I’ve trained myself to be super-vigilant… because I feel better when I am in control.
478
I enjoyed my life when I had nothing… and kinda like the idea of just being happy with me.
Joey Ramone
479
I have enough money to last me the rest of my life unless I buy something.
480
I can’t make a song for a particular person or demographic. If I love it, I’m gonna do it. I have to perform it for the rest of my life. A song is like a tattoo – you can never get away from it.
481
I grew up watching YouTube and it was tough feeling like everyone I watched had a perfect life. I couldn’t help but feel that my life sucked when I watched their videos.
482
I’m a gay man who came out when I was 10 years old, and there’s nothing in my life that I’m prouder of.
483
My experience in uniform has shaped my life and informed who I am like no other, and it’s difficult for me to wrap my mind around the idea that I will no longer be a soldier.
484
One thing I’ve done in my life is train year-round to compete at anything, anything. I’ve got an invitation now to maybe be on the karate team for the Barcelona Olympics. I’m debating whether I want to do that. I just love to compete, and I want to win.
485
I’m trying to incorporate colour into my life. Until recently, everything in my closet was black, white, grey, navy or olive.
486
‘School Daze’ was one of the highlights of my life because it was the first chance I had to act on screen. I would have been happy if that had been it, because I proved that I could do it.
Bill Nunn
487
I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. ‘If there’s no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.’ That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that.
488
All my life I’ve felt quite misunderstood because of my personality.
489
The fact that I am blind is not what defines my life. It should be of no more interest than my blood type. People wonder if there is a relationship between my lack of sight and the way I sing. But there’s no connection.
490
I always think that for each day of my life, the tune of that day is particular to that day. Each day brings a different tune and I follow whatever it is.
491
There wasn’t really one time in my life where I was like, ‘I want to be a model!’
492
Just as the wave cannot exist for itself, but is ever a part of the heaving surface of the ocean, so must I never live my life for itself, but always in the experience which is going on around me.
493
With all the highs and lows I’ve had in my life, I wouldn’t change anything. So no, I don’t, this is what I’m supposed to be doing.
494
There is nothing on earth that could ever make me want to relive certain years of my life when I was young.
495
Every time in my life when I have chosen to delay following inspired counsel or decided that I was an exception, I came to know that I had put myself in harm‘s way. Every time that I have listened to the counsel of prophets, felt it confirmed in prayer, and then followed it, I have found that I moved toward safety.
496
Hesitation before birth. If there is a transmigration of souls then I am not yet on the bottom rung. My life is a hesitation before birth.
497
For me, my life is a journey.
Jay Electronica
498
You can have anything you want, but not everything. If it was really important to spend an afternoon at my daughter’s school, I had to think, how was I going to organize my life to do that? How could I become more efficient? I always tried to put my priorities on the table, personal and professional, and work around them.
Laura Lang
499
My life is my argument.
500
Whatever dramas are going on in my life, I always find that place inside my head where I see myself as the cleanest, tallest, strongest, wisest person that I can be.
501
So though there are many things I would have done differently, I submit to God’s sovereignty and His purpose in my life and I thank Him that He brought me the way He brought me and gave me what He gave me when He thought I could handle it.
502
If I were not a physicist, I would probably be a musician. I often think in music. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music.
503
My father never kissed me, hugged me or told me that he loved me. As my only living parent, he became the filter through which I saw myself, the possibilities for my life, the world and all men. He was a conflicted and dark filter.
504
For me, saying ‘I’m bossy‘ is a cute, tongue-in-cheek way of saying that I’m in control of my life.
505
I’ve cried, and you’d think I’d be better for it, but the sadness just sleeps, and it stays in my spine the rest of my life.
506
When I thought about having the greatest impact with my life, I thought about all the times people lose loved ones because diseases weren’t detected early enough. I thought, ‘I can play a role there.’
507
I love sleep. My life has the tendency to fall apart when I’m awake, you know?
508
A year or so ago I went through all the people in my life and asked myself: does this person inspire me, genuinely love me and support me unconditionally? I wanted nothing but positive influences in my life.
Mena Suvari
509
I hate failure and that divorce was a Number One failure in my eyes. It was the worst period of my life. Neither Desi nor I have been the same since, physically or mentally.
510
I live my life like everyone else; everyone has their own obstacles. Mine is deafness.
511
I think I have a right to live my life the way I like.
512
My life is a beautiful struggle.
513
I want my children and my grandchildren to live in a world with clean air, pure drinking water, and an abundance of wildlife, so I’ve chosen to dedicate my life to wildlife conservation so I can make the world just a little bit better.
514
I guess I’m attracted to these off beat roles because my life has been a bit abnormal. The only thing I have a problem with is being labeled.
515
You know, when I was a kid waiting on the bus, I remember that was when I imagined my life. I imagined everything that I was gonna be when I grew up and I imagined all of these amazing journeys and amazing people I’d meet. Of course, all of it has kind of come to fruition.
516
My mom passed away when I was 4 years old, and she came from a very conservative Korean background. I feel like my life would’ve been incredibly different had she still been alive.
517
The most terrifying moment in my life was October 1962, during the Cuban Missile Crisis. I did not know all the facts – we have learned only recently how close we were to war – but I knew enough to make me tremble.
518
My workout was running down fly balls, stealing a base, or running for my life on the football field.
519
All my life, I always wanted to be somebody. Now I see that I should have been more specific.
Jane Wagner
520
I can’t tell you how many hot dogs I’ve eaten in my life.
521
My life at home gives me absolute joy. There are some days when, as soon as you’ve finished cooking breakfast and cleaning up the kitchen, it’s time to start lunch, and by the time you’ve done that, you’re doing dinner and thinking, ‘There has to be a menu we can order from.’
522
Xi Jinping is one of the strongest and most capable revolutionary leaders I have met in my life.
523
An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I’ve left the opera house.
Maria Callas
524
I have been wrathful all my life, angry against my father and all others. My wrath must end. All my images now are of heaven.
525
When my daughter was ill in Great Ormond Street, it was the darkest period of my life.
526
I know who I am and what I’m doing in my life and what I’ve accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being.
527
During most of my life, my contact with Jews and Judaism was slight. I gave little thought to their problems, save in asking myself, from time to time, whether we were showing by our lives due appreciation of the opportunities which this hospitable country affords. My approach to Zionism was through Americanism.
528
If all I’m remembered for is being a good basketball player, then I’ve done a bad job with the rest of my life.
529
My life is a lovely story, happy and full of incident.
Hans Christian Andersen
530
I feel in the depths of my soul that it is the highest, most sacred, and most irreversible part of my obligation to preserve the union of these states, although it may cost me my life.
531
I’ve failed over and over and over again in my life and that is why I succeed.
532
Everybody has their own rules, and so do I. I have always lived on my own terms. As far as mistakes are concerned, I’ve made them and acknowledged them as mistakes, not regrets. I consider my life a success. There’s nothing that I would re-do. I’ve always done what I felt was right.
533
I have had so much at heart. Defeated, not conquered; disappointed, not discouraged. I have but to be more energetic and more faithful in the difficult and painful vocation to which my life is devoted.
534
I have been a foreigner all my life, first as a daughter of diplomats, then as a political refugee and now as an immigrant in the U.S. I have had to leave everything behind and start anew several times, and I have lost most of my extended family.
535
The real beauty of it – key to my life was playing key chords on a banjo. For somebody else it may be a golf club that mom and dad put in their hands or a baseball or ballet lessons. Real gift to give to me and put it in writing.
536
I will perform My Heart Will Go On for the rest of my life and it will always remain a very emotional experience for me.
537
I have spent more time in my life working and being in restaurants than being at home. I immediately feel comfortable entering a restaurant, and I feel even more comfortable in the back with the chef and cooks.
538
I hope I didn’t bore you too much with my life story.
539
I’ve yet to meet a person in my life who doesn’t have some moral ambiguity.
Jason Beghe
540
I had it all – money, women, fame, cars, yachts, everything a man could want – but it didn’t give my life meaning.
