77
78
Sometimes things have to get worse before they get better.

The only way you gain mental toughness is to do things you’re not happy doing. If you continue doing things that you’re satisfied and make you happy, you’re not getting stronger. You’re staying where you’re at. Either you’re getting better, or you’re getting worse. You’re not staying the same.

158
159
I think it’s difficult to say what exactly made me become a successful DJ. It depends on so many different things. If I were given an award, I would thank my family, friends, Tiesto and the great team behind me for all their support and hard work. Without them, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
160
Some people see things that are and ask, Why? Some people dream of things that never were and ask, Why not? Some people have to go to work and don’t have time for all that.

Many big and small things happen in our lives, almost on daily basis, and I hope that everyone would not lose the trust that they have in themselves, and never lose positive attitude.

God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.
170
171
You can have all the gun control laws in the country, but if you don’t enforce them, people are going to find a way to protect themselves. We need to recognize that bad people are doing bad things with these weapons. It’s not the law-abiding citizens, it’s not the person who uses it as a hobby.
172
Everyone has a different life story. Things happen rapidly for someone, and things move slowly for others.

187
188
189
Nothing makes you feel better than when you get into a hotel bed, and the sheets feel so good. Why shouldn’t you wake up like that every day? Spend money on your mattress and bedding because these things make a difference on your sleep and, ultimately, your happiness.
190
191
Money and women. They’re two of the strongest things in the world. The things you do for a woman you wouldn’t do for anything else. Same with money.

197
It hasn’t always been easy. There’s a lot of hard moments. Sometimes you learn from the end of the bench. Sometimes you learn from injuries. Sometimes you learn the most through the hard things. If you can keep a good attitude and keep on working, eventually situations change, and you can put those things to use.
198
I do not love to be printed on every occasion, much less to be dunned and teased by foreigners about mathematical things or to be thought by our own people to be trifling away my time about them when I should be about the king’s business.
199
The things that have always been important: to be a good man, to try to live my life the way God would have me, to turn it over to Him that His will might be worked in my life, to do my work without looking back, to give it all I’ve got, and to take pride in my work as an honest performer.
200
But time growing old teaches all things.
201
202

203
204

205

225
All things are difficult before they are easy.
226
The world is so unpredictable. Things happen suddenly, unexpectedly. We want to feel we are in control of our own existence. In some ways we are, in some ways we’re not. We are ruled by the forces of chance and coincidence.
227
You need to aim beyond what you are capable of. You must develop a complete disregard for where your abilities end. Try to do things that you’re incapable of… If you think you’re incapable of running a company, make that your aim… Make your vision of where you want to be a reality. Nothing is impossible.
228
Leaders are people who do the right thing; managers are people who do things right.
229
You can’t jump from little things to big things. It just takes time and patience.

244
To see things in the seed, that is genius.
245
246
247
248

Everyone loves to fly, and flying underwater is even better than flying in air because there are things around you.
281
282

283
284
285
Make it your habit not to be critical about small things.
286

300
301
302

A man’s face as a rule says more, and more interesting things, than his mouth, for it is a compendium of everything his mouth will ever say, in that it is the monogram of all this man’s thoughts and aspirations.
310
There is no greater power in Heaven or on Earth than pure, unconditional love. The nature of the God force, the unseen intelligence in all things, which causes the material world and is the center of both the spiritual and physical plane, is best described as pure, unconditional love.
311
I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.
312
The unreal is more powerful than the real, because nothing is as perfect as you can imagine it, because it’s only intangible ideas, concepts, beliefs, fantasies that last. Stone crumbles, wood rots. People, well, they die. But things as fragile as a thought, a dream, a legend, they can go on and on.
313
314
But I always think that the best way to know God is to love many things.
315
316
I basically taught myself how to DJ, but I’ve been inspired by DJs throughout my whole career. I have some good friends that would hook us up with music. You learn some little things here and there from each DJ and you just take it and put your own style into to it.

One’s destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.

324
325
Working hard and working smart sometimes can be two different things.
326
Don’t think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It’s self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can’t try to do things. You simply must do things.
327
I think electricity will create a new world. I feel like the world will change a lot with electricity, and I wonder how it will change, it’s scary, and it’s going to be fun. I think there are so many things to think about when it comes to electric cars.
328
Life is too short and too sweet to complain about the silly things.
329
Have patience. All things are difficult before they become easy.
330
We need to steer clear of this poverty of ambition, where people want to drive fancy cars and wear nice clothes and live in nice apartments but don’t want to work hard to accomplish these things. Everyone should try to realize their full potential.
331
To me, ideology is corrupt; it’s a parasite on religious structures. To be an ideologue is to have all of the terrible things that are associated with religious certainty and none of the utility. If you’re an ideologue, you believe everything that you think. If you’re religious, there’s a mystery left there.
332
I am blessed to have so many great things in my life – family, friends and God. All will be in my thoughts daily.
333
334
Too many people spend money they haven’t earned to buy things they don’t want to impress people they don’t like.
335
One of the nice things about getting older is that you come to understand that you can integrate multiple aspects of your life together. When you’re young, you think everything has to be binary, as that’s exactly how you feel at that age.
336
One of the funny things about the stock market is that every time one person buys, another sells, and both think they are astute.
337
338
I think you can make fun of anything except things people can’t help. They can’t help their race or their sex or their age, so you ridicule their pretension or their ego instead. You can ridicule ideas – ideas don’t have feelings. You can ridicule an idea that someone holds without hurting them.
339
One of the things I learned the hard way was that it doesn’t pay to get discouraged. Keeping busy and making optimism a way of life can restore your faith in yourself.
340
A human being has so many skins inside, covering the depths of the heart. We know so many things, but we don’t know ourselves! Why, thirty or forty skins or hides, as thick and hard as an ox‘s or bear’s, cover the soul. Go into your own ground and learn to know yourself there.
341
They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.
342
Things are never quite as scary when you’ve got a best friend.
343
I think that’s the single best piece of advice: constantly think about how you could be doing things better and questioning yourself.
344
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.
345
346
We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are.
347
348
349
The essence of philosophy is that a man should so live that his happiness shall depend as little as possible on external things.
350
We love things we love what they are.
351
When you don’t manage your life well, you become angry and frustrated as things don’t go as intended, and our bad mood is a sign showing we were not able to resolve the conflict.
352
I cannot say whether things will get better if we change; what I can say is they must change if they are to get better.
353
It behooves every man to remember that the work of the critic is of altogether secondary importance, and that, in the end, progress is accomplished by the man who does things.
354
One of the things I was taught in law school is that I’d never be able to think the same again – that being a lawyer is something that’s part of who I am as an individual now.
355
All good things which exist are the fruits of originality.
356
A great restaurant is one that just makes you feel like you’re not sure whether you went out or you came home and confuses you. If it can do both of those things at the same time, you’re hooked.
357
If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.
358
I feel as though, if you’re able to control your dreams, you have more power and control over your mind, like you could reach more areas of your mind. Therefore, I feel like it creates the ability for you to achieve more things in reality.
359
In our business, things look like a failure until they’re not. It’s pretty binary transitions.
360
Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
361
Just knowing you don’t have the answers is a recipe for humility, openness, acceptance, forgiveness, and an eagerness to learn – and those are all good things.
362
Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little.
363
364
The key to success is to focus our conscious mind on things we desire not things we fear.
365
God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.
366
Just simple things – I like black and white, monochrome; I like suits.
367
368
You cannot define a person on just one thing. You can’t just forget all these wonderful and good things that a person has done because one thing didn’t come off the way you thought it should come off.
369
370
Winning is not a sometime thing; it’s an all the time thing. You don’t win once in a while… you don’t do things right once in a while… you do them right all the time. Winning is habit.
371
There are people who make things happen, there are people who watch things happen, and there are people who wonder what happened. To be successful, you need to be a person who makes things happen.
372
373
Things done well and with a care, exempt themselves from fear.
374
Don’t tell people how to do things, tell them what to do and let them surprise you with their results.
375
376
There are so many great things in life; why dwell on negativity?
377
Equality is not in regarding different things similarly, equality is in regarding different things differently.
378
379
It all depends on how we look at things, and not how they are in themselves.
380
See any detour as an opportunity to experience new things.
381
The hallmark of successful people is that they are always stretching themselves to learn new things.
382
Life’s too short to dwell on things. When you go through experiences that are bad, it’s a good thing. You learn from it – become a stronger person. Life is a roller coaster, and you don’t know what’s going to be thrown at you next, so all you can do is give it your best shot.
383
Everything is a learning lesson, good and bad, so I am happy with the way things are, and I learned from everything negative. I am in a great space now, so I wouldn’t change a thing!
384
Things are going to get a lot worse before they get worse.
385
386
The art of being happy lies in the power of extracting happiness from common things.
387
388
Things don’t have to change the world to be important.
389
390
I want to be with those who know secret things or else alone.
391
I just owe almost everything to my father and it’s passionately interesting for me that the things that I learned in a small town, in a very modest home, are just the things that I believe have won the election.
392
393
I’m interested in two things. I’m interested in truth and I’m interested in fairness.
394
There are things known and things unknown and in between are the doors.
395
Only when a man will not do some things is he capable of doing great things.
396
Why should we think upon things that are lovely? Because thinking determines life. It is a common habit to blame life upon the environment. Environment modifies life but does not govern life. The soul is stronger than its surroundings.
397
People are afraid of things they don’t understand. They don’t know how to relate. It threatens their security, their existence, their career, image.
398
O Lord, deliver me from the man of excellent intention and impure heart: for the heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked.
399
Four things for success: work and pray, think and believe.
400
If we want things to stay as they are, things will have to change.
401
Success is doing ordinary things extraordinarily well.
402
All things truly wicked start from innocence.
403
404
The things that have been most valuable to me I did not learn in school.
405
You can learn many things from children. How much patience you have, for instance.
406
Never do things others can do and will do if there are things others cannot do or will not do.
407
I think it’s important to find the little things in everyday life that make you happy.
408
One of the most important actions, things a leader can do, is to lead by example. If you want everyone else to be passionate, committed, dedicated, and motivated, you go first!
409
Right now I think censorship is necessary; the things they’re doing and saying in films right now just shouldn’t be allowed. There’s no dignity anymore and I think that’s very important.
410
There is nothing more difficult to take in hand, more perilous to conduct, or more uncertain in its success, than to take the lead in the introduction of a new order of things.
411
I have no plan. I will leave it to the good things and good times to find me.
412
Keep your dreams alive. Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication. Remember all things are possible for those who believe.
413
Mathematics is the art of giving the same name to different things.
414
One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!
415
I know the power obedience has of making things easy which seem impossible.
416
417
418
419
420
421
Some men see things as they are, and say why. I dream of things that never were, and say why not.
422
423
The things that we love tell us what we are.
424
425
Great things are done by a series of small things brought together.
426
I’m not always going to say things the perfect way, the right way. But I’m going to say how I feel.
427
It’s not ‘can’; it’s ‘will.’ You have to will things into fruition.
428
I have a personal philosophy in life: If somebody else can do something that I’m doing, they should do it. And what I want to do is find things that would represent a unique contribution to the world – the contribution that only I, and my portfolio of talents, can make happen. Those are my priorities in life.
429
430
431
The way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit for doing them.
432
433
434
Your mind knows only some things. Your inner voice, your instinct, knows everything. If you listen to what you know instinctively, it will always lead you down the right path.
435
436
437
Enjoy the satisfaction that comes from doing little things well.
438
A lot of hard work is hidden behind nice things.
439
A leader’s job is not to do the work for others, it’s to help others figure out how to do it themselves, to get things done, and to succeed beyond what they thought possible.
440
The more that you read, the more things you will know. The more that you learn, the more places you’ll go.
441
You become a champion by fighting one more round. When things are tough, you fight one more round.
442
Come, let us have some tea and continue to talk about happy things.
443
444
Nothing defines humans better than their willingness to do irrational things in the pursuit of phenomenally unlikely payoffs. This is the principle behind lotteries, dating, and religion.
445
Some things are so unexpected that no one is prepared for them.
446
447
Cinema is not only about making people dream. It’s about changing things and making people think.
448
You can’t know what you don’t know. You can’t know about things you have yet to discover.
449
Throughout life people will make you mad, disrespect you and treat you bad. Let God deal with the things they do, cause hate in your heart will consume you too.
450
You can’t be brave if you’ve only had wonderful things happen to you.
451
452
My childhood did not prepare me for the fact that the world is full of cruel and bitter things.
453
A dog will teach you unconditional love. If you can have that in your life, things won’t be too bad.
454
455
456
There is only one way to happiness and that is to cease worrying about things which are beyond the power of our will.
457
458
You don’t do things right once in a while. You do things right all the time.
459
The more things you do, the more you can do.
460
Procrastination makes easy things hard, hard things harder.
461
Life is short, so go for things you enjoy.
462
Because things are the way they are, things will not stay the way they are.
463
To achieve great things, two things are needed; a plan, and not quite enough time.
464
Great things are done when men and mountains meet.
465
Everyone can do simple things to make a difference, and every little bit really does count.
466
Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things.
467
468
Life is too short to be arguing over some little things.
469
The world is full of magical things patiently waiting for our wits to grow sharper.
470
I collect memories. I look for opportunities to try new things, go to new places, and meet new people all the time.
471
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.
472
Don’t make things too complicated. Try to relax, enjoy every moment, get used to everything.
473
Being natural is incredibly empowering for women because it’s just who you are. You’re embracing all the beautiful things about you from your head to your toes. Because when you mask so much of your natural beauty, people don’t get to see that.
474
There are things which a man is afraid to tell even to himself, and every decent man has a number of such things stored away in his mind.
475
I have an almost complete disregard of precedent, and a faith in the possibility of something better. It irritates me to be told how things have always been done. I defy the tyranny of precedent. I go for anything new that might improve the past.
476
Fixing a broken immigration system. Protecting our kids from gun violence. Equal pay for equal work, paid leave, raising the minimum wage. All these things still matter to hardworking families; they are still the right thing to do; and I will not let up until they get done.
477
Everyone goes down a road that they’re not supposed to go down. You can do two things from it. You can keep going down that road and go to a dark place. Or you can turn and go up the hill and go to the top – try to go to the top.
478
I am always looking forward to learn new things in my life.
479
There’s a lot of things we go through and we don’t even know why… At the end of the day, God has a purpose and a plan for you, and that’s kind of how I take that.
480
So many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.
481
482
If there is any one secret of success, it lies in the ability to get the other person’s point of view and see things from that person’s angle as well as from your own.
483
The best way to know God is to love many things.
484
485
486
You have to always continue to strive no matter how hard things get, no matter how troubled you feel. No matter how tough things get, no matter how many times you lose, you keep trying to win.
487
Technology is nothing. What’s important is that you have a faith in people, that they’re basically good and smart, and if you give them tools, they’ll do wonderful things with them.
488
I think it’s really important to design things with a kind of personality.
489
A man may imagine things that are false, but he can only understand things that are true, for if the things be false, the apprehension of them is not understanding.
490
491
As you get older, you want less from the world; you just want to experience it. Any barriers to feeling emotions get dismantled. And ordinary things become beautifully poetic.
492
493
494
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.
495
Some things are best left to memories.
496
Friendships are fragile things, and require as much handling as any other fragile and precious thing.
497
I did not direct my life. I didn’t design it. I never made decisions. Things always came up and made them for me. That’s what life is.
498
Of all the things which wisdom provides to make us entirely happy, much the greatest is the possession of friendship.
499
You hear certain things, negative things, all the time that aren’t true, but you never hear about the positive.
500
The world is so full of a number of things, I’m sure we should all be as happy as kings.
501
Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.
502
It is the sweet, simple things of life which are the real ones after all.
503
Nearly all the best things that came to me in life have been unexpected, unplanned by me.
504
505
There are few things more dishonorable than misleading the young.
506
In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.
507
Violence is one of the most fun things to watch.
508
509

515
516
There are three things you can do in a baseball game. You can win, or you can lose, or it can rain.
517
History isn’t just the story of bad people doing bad things. It’s quite as much a story of people trying to do good things. But somehow, something goes wrong.
518
519
520
Life’s complicated and people do things for a lot of reasons.
521
522
Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time; it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.
523
The more things are forbidden, the more popular they become.
524
Men are disturbed not by things, but by the view which they take of them.
525
Order is the sanity of the mind, the health of the body, the peace of the city, the security of the state. Like beams in a house or bones to a body, so is order to all things.
526
The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things – but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all.
527
Music is probably the only real magic I have encountered in my life. There’s not some trick involved with it. It’s pure and it’s real. It moves, it heals, it communicates and does all these incredible things.
528
When I wake up, I expect things to be good. If they’re not, then I try to set about trying to make them as good as I can ’cause I know I’m gonna have to live that day anyway. So why not try to make the most of it if you can? Some days, they pan out a little better than others, but you still gotta always just try.
529
530
531
Whatever you put around yourself, you will be the mirror of it. Surround yourself with things you love.
532
For the things of this world cannot be made known without a knowledge of mathematics.
533
I believe life is an intelligent thing: that things aren’t random.
534
535
Smart people focus on the right things.
536
If you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together. You can speak about spirit, or you can live it.
537
I’d much rather hang out in a cafe. That’s where things are really happening.
538
A youth, when at home, should be filial and, abroad, respectful to his elders. He should be earnest and truthful. He should overflow in love to all and cultivate the friendship of the good. When he has time and opportunity, after the performance of these things, he should employ them in polite studies.
539
540
The Universal view melts things into a blur.
541
The day, water, sun, moon, night – I do not have to purchase these things with money.
542
The difference between equity and equality is that equality is everyone get the same thing and equity is everyone get the things they deserve.
543
It is not the language of painters but the language of nature which one should listen to, the feeling for the things themselves, for reality is more important than the feeling for pictures.
544
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
545
546
547
Truth is ever to be found in simplicity, and not in the multiplicity and confusion of things.
548
You get what you give. What you put into things is what you get out of them.
549
550
I made odd noises as a child. Just did weird things, like turn off light switches twice. I think my parents thought I had Tourette’s syndrome.
551
Now, you lose something in your life, or you come into a conflict, and there’s gonna come a time that you’re gonna know: There was a reason for that. And at the end of your life, all the things you thought were periods, they turn out to be commas. There was never a full stop in any of it.
552
Just try new things. Don’t be afraid. Step out of your comfort zones and soar, all right?
553
554
You have to enjoy life. Always be surrounded by people that you like, people who have a nice conversation. There are so many positive things to think about.
555
As pessimistic as I am about the nature of human beings and our capacity for atrocity and malevolence and betrayal and laziness and inertia, and all those things, I think we can transcend all that and set things straight.
556
If you want to be the best, you have to do things that other people aren’t willing to do.
557
558
559
It is my feeling that Time ripens all things; with Time all things are revealed; Time is the father of truth.
560
561
Nothing is impossible; there are ways that lead to everything, and if we had sufficient will we should always have sufficient means. It is often merely for an excuse that we say things are impossible.
562
The only things worth learning are the things you learn after you know it all.
563
If you do things to the limit, and don’t purposely go over that limit, then I think it’s fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That’s what’s important.
564
In life, all good things come hard, but wisdom is the hardest to come by.
565
566
It’s the little things that count, hundreds of ’em.
567
I found I could say things with color and shapes that I couldn’t say any other way – things I had no words for.
568
569
Good things happen when you meet strangers.
570
There are positive things that come of social media as well as negative.
571
Things are as they are. Looking out into it the universe at night, we make no comparisons between right and wrong stars, nor between well and badly arranged constellations.
572
I believe in doing the right things; that is my character and personality.
573
I’m changing every day as far as this rap thing. I’m learning new things. I’m getting bigger by the day.
574
Life is a journey. When we stop, things don’t go right.
575
I really haven’t had that exciting of a life. There are a lot of things I wish I would have done, instead of just sitting around and complaining about having a boring life. So I pretty much like to make it up. I’d rather tell a story about somebody else.
