When someone asks ‘what’s the use of philosophy?’ the reply must be aggressive, since the question tries to be ironic and caustic. Philosophy does not serve the State or the Church, who have other concerns. It serves no established power.

I think I usually play the woman that, after the person tries to go for some extraordinary feat of romantic accomplishment, they happily wind up with me.
25
I am getting better at facing the bouncers, as I know opposition tries to use those as a weapon against me. Yet, no one is perfect, and he takes time to master a particular thing.

It can be a machine. The machine tries to make money and forget about the heart and the art. Hollywood is more about making money.

A good lie detector doesn’t jump to conclusions but tries to understand the person across the table, her personality, and her motivations. Your goal as a lie spotter isn’t to point the finger and say, ‘You’re lying‘ – your goal is to get to the truth.
40
The draconian spirit that seeks to enhance penalties and to lower the age at which juveniles will be tries as adults, is part of the ‘whole cloth‘ of three strikes. Our failure to address the depair of our inner-city youth is only delayed by our over-confidence in a stance that is ‘tougher than thou.’

44
Religion promotes the divine discontent within oneself, so that one tries to make oneself a better person and draw oneself closer to God.
45
46
47
Wijnaldum always tries to do some jokes inside the dressing room. He’s always winding people up. He always tries to speak in Portuguese or Spanish with us and dancing.
48

In top-down processing, which is normally what we do in psychotherapy, we talk about our problems, our symptoms, or our relationships. And then the therapist often tries to get the client to feel what they’re feeling when they talk about those kinds of things.
62
I’m a guy that tries to eat right. I try to keep my body right. I try to do all the right things. But like everybody else, I have flaws. I slip up. I eat the wrong things sometimes. I have cheat days. I think I make mistakes just like everybody else, but I try to minimize them.
63
64
Every time somebody tries to go in and reinvent what we do, it always ends up being more about technology and sets, and flash and dash, forgetting the main thing, which is interesting people saying interesting, important things.
65
When a man tries to communicate with an animal, there’s a relationship between them, and you generally find this between the dog and his master.
66
Chaos is the natural state, and theater tries to make sense of it, but it’s got to be a little messy to be believable.
67
68
I’m the guy who tries with my qualities to help on the field.
69
If I follow the media and everyone that tries to set expectations for me because I’m a high draft pick, if I follow that, I will never become a great player.
70
71
I don’t know why everyone tries to be like everyone else or just tries to make it to the top when they should be themselves and do their own thing.
72
73
74
Anyone who tries to diss me in comparison to Queen, it just renders all their criticisms completely futile. That’s quite pleasurable.
75
76
What will eventually cause the defeat of ISIL is that it will collapse under its own contradictions, frankly. When the populations in which it tries to maneuver realize that that ideology is not to their future benefit.
77
American businesses deserve a federal government that doesn’t stand in their way, not one that tries to chase them overseas.

God lends a helping hand to the man who tries hard.
102
It takes a lot of dedication to quit smoking, and whether you give up for good on your first try or have to give it a couple of tries – just keep swinging at it and you will succeed.
103
As humans, we have the tendency to call on God only when we think that we’re in dire straits as opposed to cultivating a real relationship with Him every day. And that’s what my music tries to convey to all the listeners – try to cultivate it every day.
104
Of course, it is the case that conservatism as I envisage it distances itself always from abstract conceptions and tries to find the concrete reality.
105
Most things at their core are love stories anyway, whether they realize it or not. It’s hilarious, the more seriously a show tries to take itself and detach itself from that, the more that the love story generally tends to come forward.
106
I try to support all the women in my life. So absolutely, Aladdin tries to do that as well, and rightfully – rightfully so.
107
I’m on Facebook anonymously. I wanted to see how people use it, what’s going on there, but I personally didn’t want to be on it because everybody in the world tries to get to you with scripts.
108
109
110
One tries to be an observer as an actor and indeed as a director because the small things, the give-away things are what are really interesting to a performer.
111
The impulse to write things down is a peculiarly compulsive one, inexplicable to those who do not share it, useful only accidentally, only secondarily, in the way that any compulsion tries to justify itself.
112
113
The last thing I want to do is force tries to happen.
114
115
116
I’m a pass-first point guard that tries to get everybody involved.
117
118
My friendships all tend to be quite steady, so it’s really hard to novelise that stuff because it’s just boring. I mean, there’s interesting conversations, but there’s no power struggle. And you can’t work with equilibrium; you have to work with something that’s just off and then observe how it tries to correct itself.
119
120
121
I don’t see Republicans flipping their lids trying to burn down buildings in Ninja outfits when a Democrat, progressive, or socialist tries to speak.
122
I have said this in the past and I will continue to repeat it as long as I live: Whoever tries to hurt our national unity is my enemy until the day of judgement.
123
124
125
Ryan Murphy, he basically tries to find something that’s a pulse, a pressure point in our culture, and he grabs it, and he squeezes it. I think ‘Freak Show’ has a lot to do with the entertainment industry and the way we entertain ourselves: the objectification of people and the lengths we’ll go for our own amusement.
126
127
When government – in pursuit of good intentions – tries to rearrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interests, the cost come in inefficiency, lack of motivation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an active player.
128
I think Jughead is a pretty trustworthy character – not only a narrator. I think he might be selfish, but he’s obviously selfish, and that is comforting to me. I also think he has a really strong moral fiber and a propensity for good, and he tries to cultivate that in other people.
129
A hair-hopper is someone who pretends they’re rich, who really wasn’t brought up very wealthy but now tries to brag that they’re rich, and they spend too much time on their hair.
130
The second a political consultant tries to play dirty tricks, it will backfire, and it will hurt that candidate.
131
I work with amazing organisations: I work with I’m A Performer With Disability, and I work with a clinic which tries to get opportunities for people with disabilities to work in the film and TV industry, and we’re making strides, and they’re making strides.
132
I have dealings with a pension firm, an insurance company and a bank, and every day one of these institutions tries to worry me into buying something else. The bank wants to sell me a pension, the pension company wants to sell me insurance for my pension and the insurance company wants to insure my bank account.
133
But someone like Claude Chabrol tries to make a connection between the society in which we live and the social reasons which make monsters out of some people.
134
135
136
What makes us love a character is a character that tries.
137
Generally speaking, when a woman offers unsolicited advice or tries to help a man, she has no idea of how critical and unloving he may sound to him.
138
Paul Ryan is the establishment tool in D.C. that tries to splinter groups and does not work for the will of the people.
139
140
141
142
Mauricio always tries to give you the opportunity to keep improving. I think that’s his main quality, that he always wants you to be the best, and I think that affects a lot of players.
143
I went to public school for like, one day. I don’t get it. Everybody tries to be exactly the same. I think being an outsider is a good thing.
144
145
146
147
For a true writer, each book should be a new beginning where he tries again for something that is beyond attainment. He should always try for something that has never been done or that others have tried and failed. Then sometimes, with great luck, he will succeed.
148
149
Romney is not funny. When he tries to be, it often comes across as awkward.
150
I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist – I’m happy to see the work.
151
152
153
The Antichrist is often identified with the second beast in the Book of Revelation that arises from the land, the beast that tries to make everyone worship the power of evil.
154
155
It’s a weird thing, having a double act – I think Stew puts more energy into his solo stuff than I do, and tries to establish his independence more.
156
157
158
I think he tries to be nice. But he has absolutely zero self-awareness. None. Zip. So we see the public Donald Trump, the candidate, as being different than the in-person Donald Trump.
159
I’m somebody who tries to remain positive and looks forward to setting goals and reaching them. But that’s easier said than done.
160
161
A lover tries to stand in well with the pet dog of the house.
162
I have all the admiration in the world for somebody like Bono, who really puts himself on the line and tries actively to do something about our world situation.
163
164
165
The current approach that psychiatry takes almost ignores social worlds in which mental health problems arise and tries to become highly biomedical like other branches of medicine such as cardiology or oncology. But psychiatry has to be far more embedded in people’s personal and social worlds.
166
167
I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change – within himself, not on the outside.
168
The human mind is inspired enough when it comes to inventing horrors; it is when it tries to invent a Heaven that it shows itself cloddish.
169
170
171
I think all writing is necessarily autobiographical to a greater or lesser extent, and the less it tries to be confessional, the more likely it is that you’re somehow sneaking the things you need to say in there.
172
If one tries to think about history, it seems to me – it’s like looking at a range of mountains. And the first time you see them, they look one way. But then time changes, the pattern of light shifts. Maybe you’ve moved slightly, your perspective has changed. The mountains are the same, but they look very different.
173
174
175
The tradition of Chicago price theory is a good one, and it is a low-tech methodology that tries to apply simple economic theory to the world.
176
177
You have to give people more than one chance. We hire people in job A, and if it doesn’t work out, we try them on job B. We’ll generally give them three different tries. You have to be more committed to training, but you know they have the right stuff because someone you think highly of has recommended them.
178
179
When a writer tries to copy another writer, it’s doomed to fail.
180
Religious life is an encounter with the living God. Sometimes that encounter is preceded by a kind of soul-searching agony that tries desperately not to hear, runs in the opposite direction, and frantically tries to reason itself out of answering the invitation.
181
I will not stand idly when anyone gets in the way of the national interest and tries to block the national vision. From where I sit, I can tell you, a president is always as strong as she wants to be.
182
183
The most successful politicians are the ones who embrace their best traits while turning their liabilities into loveable attributes. And yet, many a candidate tries to run as something they aren’t simply because the strategy dictates it.
184
185
186
187
No one knows what he can do until he tries.
188
189
190
Teaching is hard. It takes a lot of skill. Not everyone who tries can do it well. We need to admit that and act accordingly. We should reward and respect great teachers by paying them more, and we should stop rewarding seniority over effectiveness.
191
When I go to shows, I’m really looking forward to hearing the songs I know. I don’t like it when a band tries to expose me to new stuff.
192
193
I always look for a story that hasn’t been told in the same way. I don’t care about a lot of the usual elements people use for a quick drama boost. I want to know, for example, what happens when a man who was victimized by his father tries to be a father to a woman sixty years his senior.
194
I produce the records. I don’t hand over control to some really expensive producer who then talks to the record company and then tries to bend me to their will – for commercial purposes.
195
Unfortunately, in collective bargaining one party or the other too often tries to gain an advantage – a bargain, like buying something in a store for less than it is worth.
196
197
Everything I do tries to do the same thing, which is to express things that are hard to express, hidden things.
198
199
What I really like about ‘Grit‘ – especially being the guy who goes on TV every week and says ‘Never Give Up’ and who truly tries to live his life to that credo – we recruited 16 people who said, ‘I will never give up.’ And the only way they can leave the contest is by doing the one thing they said they never would.

Everyone tries to give 100 per cent for the team. If you can help with goals or assists then it’s even more important.
209
Hollywood seduces a person who’s used to making theater, art, and having success on their own terms and then tries to squish them into a box and, eventually, throws the box out.
210
While the West tries to turn its civilization into cultural variety hour, Islam tries to turn Muslim lands into a cultural monolith. The same West that justifies the rap culture thinks that every Muslim terrorist bombing is an expression of economic angst or social alienation.
211
You know what, we can be really fierce with each other but as soon as someone tries to take either one of us on, that’s not one of us, we back each other up.
212
If there is no God, then man sometimes thinks he is god, and sometimes tries to live like a god.
213
Ray Allen‘s diet was insane. He was trying to break it down to me what he ate and how disciplined he tries to stay. When you’re a 21 year-old, you’re not used to that. He was doing Paleo and experimenting with all types of things.
214
When you come into this league, everyone tries to put you in categories – ‘this is what he is’ or ‘this is what he can do.’
215
216
I love ‘Somebody to Love’ by Queen and of course ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ is one of my favorites, just because it makes everyone in the room go crazy. Everyone tries to sing along with it, and half the room gets it right and the other half gets it wrong.
217
I bring to the table core Democratic values and can articulate them very strongly. I’m not someone who tries to claim the middle.
218
The name of the game is ‘kill the quarterback.’ Every football team tries to knock the guy out of the game that’s handling the ball.
219
220
221
222
223
224
225
It sounds kind of farfetched, yet I can’t tell you how many people have had this syndrome… the ‘Old Hag Syndrome.’ Apparently, there’s this little old lady who comes into your room at night, sits on your chest and tries to suffocate you. You can Google her – she’ll pop up. She’s out there.
226
227
A man that is born falls into a dream like a man who falls into the sea. If he tries to climb out into the air as inexperienced people endeavor to do, he drowns.
228
229
I think I view the system the same way that Ayn Rand views the system – that it really oppresses those that create, if you will, and tries to take away from those that produce and give to the non-producers.
230
231
232
233
She tries to get a waitressing job for a while – I mean, she’s looking for a while before she finds Coyote Ugly – and it’s hard to get a waitressing job in the city.
234
Everyone has changed, haven‘t they? Everyone tries to get better; everyone tries to grow.
235
236
237
238
When the brain perceives you are no longer reproductive because your hormones are out of balance, it tries to get rid of you, and it usually activates the cancers in perimenopause.
239
I’ve been the type of father who tries desperately to be perfect but doesn’t succeed all the time.
240
241
242
243
244
When you first meet someone, it’s always about one-upmanship. The couple tries to impress each other.
245
One of the greatest moments in anybody’s developing experience is when he no longer tries to hide from himself but determines to get acquainted with himself as he really is.
246
Like most women, I hate when a guy tries to pick me up by saying, You are the hottest girl I’ve ever seen. It’s totally unrealistic. There are beautiful women everywhere.
247
I’m not the type of guy who tries to do everything by myself.
248
249
250
251
Michael Carrick helps me a lot day-to-day. We always talk and he tries to help me with my positioning on the field. He’s someone who always talks to me, which is important for adapting my football to the Premier League.
252
253
254
Every season I think it’s right every great team tries to improve the quality of the team.
255
American television constantly tries to co-op British comedy and create their own version of it. Most of the time it doesn’t work; obviously, in the case of ‘The Office,’ it did. But a lot of times, it doesn’t really work.
256
Skateboarding teaches you how to take a fall properly. If you try to kickflip down some stairs, it might take you thirty tries – and you just learn how to take a tumble out of it without getting hurt.
257
258
259
260
A lot of the American press at the time was saying ‘just watch what happens when Bertelsmann tries to buy EMI, that will be a moment of truth that will show the Commission‘s true colors.’ Well, that deal never happened either.
261
I am a person who always tries not to be easily influenced by position or achievement. I thank God for the fact that I can share more kindness and a good quality of life through the popularity. Not for the popularity itself.
262
263
It’s tricky because obviously when you join a new club, from the very first day, everyone looks at you and tries to see if you are good enough. That’s more or less what you have to go through. Then the other thing is that when I signed for West Ham nobody told me I was going to be number one.
264
265
266
Everyone tries to decipher what I write as if there’s a hidden message and I’m like, ‘There’s no hidden message.’ I don’t even put that much energy into things. I wish I did.
267
I don’t think anybody really super-consciously tries to develop a style to play.
268
#BlackLivesMatter is about black pride and black power and standing up against a world that tries to annihilate us.
269
270
With respect to drugs, you know, there are a lot of organizations, including an enormous budget and an army at the federal government level that tries to deal with the drug problem.
271
The VMAs have always been a moment where each celebrity tries to outdo the other in making the biggest moment.
272
One definition of noir is where a not-so-good man or woman tries to touch something good – and fails.
273
274
275
276
Not too much, though there’s a certain amount of rancour and bitterness when someone tries to fire you.
277
I’ve sat in sushi bars, really fine ones, and I know how hard this guy worked, how proud he is. I know you don’t need sauce. I know he doesn’t even want you to pour sauce. And I’ve seen customers come in and do that, and I’ve seen him, as stoic as he tries to remain, I’ve seen him die a little inside.
278
In organizations, once you articulate how success will be measured, everybody tries to game the system so that they are measured in the best possible way.
279
When we lose the ball, I don’t want to win it back directly. I act smarter now, have better anticipation, and also start earlier when somebody tries to lob the ball over me.
280
Astronauts cannot pick their nicknames and can only get their nicknames from other astronauts. Any astronaut who tries to give himself a cool nickname will regret it by getting just the opposite from his astronaut friends.
281
282
I think religion and science operate in different regimes. Religion is a belief system that tries to give meaning and comprehension to peoples’ lives. Science is more about the mechanics of the universe around us and the way in which it works. And I don’t think those things have to be mutually exclusive.
283
Real silencing occurs when a conservative tries to speak at a liberal university like Berkeley, and the party of anger and violence acts on their hatred when a police department says we can’t protect a Republican speaker.
284
285
286
287
288
Our laws are very clear on a woman’s reproductive health care. I will not only enforce those laws as attorney general, I will take the appropriate action against anyone who tries to interfere with a woman’s right to choose her reproductive health care.
289
It is unfortunate whenever someone tries to bring politics into sport.
290
I was slightly disappointed, but also encouraged, because I put myself in position to win a major, which is all even Tiger says he tries to do.
291
292
293
294
295
If there’s a British film in the marketplace that is successful on a worldwide basis – whether it’s ‘A Room with a View,’ ‘Four Weddings‘ or ‘The Full Monty‘ – money follows, and everyone tries to emulate that success.
296
I don’t like to give predictions but I am the type of fighter who tries to stop his man every time, and that’s why I’m such a fan favourite. People know I do the business.
297
298
My favourite player was Jack Grealish; top man! He is a naturally gifted footballer and for me, he is a joy to watch. If I could watch any player play, it would be him. He can do everything – he is exciting and tries to make things happen.
299
A smart society recognises the benefits of treating problems before they escalate, either through helping people quit smoking or moving them out of mould-blighted bedsits. A compassionate society also tries to limit human misery and suffering wherever possible.
300
Most people think an artist tries to be original, but originality is the last thing that develops in the artist.
301
A financial institution has the task of taking risks, and if it’s a well run institution – say, Goldman Sachs – it tries to cover the potential losses to itself, but only to itself.
302
303
304
Women care about a wide range of issues – climate change, social justice. What the Green Party tries to do is apply gender analysis to a whole lot of questions that people might not think of as women’s issues. For instance, women in developing countries are the most vulnerable to climate crisis.
305
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
306
I don’t like confrontation. I don’t care about it. If someone tries it with me, they will be talking to themselves because I don’t listen.
307
The mark, to me, of a constructive argument is one that looks at a specific problem and says, ‘What shall we do about this?’ And a nonconstructive one is one that tries to label people.
308
309
What becomes fascinating is the way the culture industry doesn’t deny it and doesn’t try to mitigate it, but tries to sell its products as a way of liberating oneself.
310
311
A candidate who tries to steer a path down the middle in an effort to ‘win independents‘ runs the risk of convincing everyone that they have no core values. As much as – or more than – any other voters, independents want to see conviction and authenticity.
312
Every film tries to advance the state of the art, at least a little bit. Brand new techniques? A lot of them are just evolutionary: we’re just building on something that’s like something we’ve done before and just trying to do it a little bit better or make it a little bit more realistic.
313
The media tries to do what they do. You can’t stop. You gotta get money.
314
If you live in free countries, you don’t have to spend all your life arguing about freedom because it is all around you. It seems redundant to make a lot of noise about something when, in fact, there it is. But if someone tries to remove it, it becomes important for you to formulate your own defenses of it.
315
A prisoner of war is a man who tries to kill you and fails, and then asks you not to kill him.
316
In history, one gathers clues like a detective, tries to present an honest account of what most likely happened, and writes a narrative according to what we know and, where we aren’t absolutely sure, what might be most likely to have happened, within the generally accepted rules of evidence and sources.
317
318
319
320
I’m a person who tries not to have regrets.
321
I think that ultimately any effective drama or tragedy tries to put you as much as it can into the protagonist‘s shoes.
322
I can’t understand why TV tries to appeal to youth.
323
I’m one of these people who tries to look for the good in people, but I’ve learnt that, actually, no, some people fundamentally just are not nice.
324
325
Despite my firm convictions, I have always been a man who tries to face facts, and to accept the reality of life as new experience and new knowledge unfolds. I have always kept an open mind, a flexibility that must go hand in hand with every form of the intelligent search for truth.
326
I really believe that anybody on the Left or the Right that tries to invoke the teachings of Jesus to say they should vote for this candidate or that candidate, I think they’re stretching Scripture.
327
328
329
Be the guy that delivers the goods and consistently promise things that you can deliver. Even if you under-promise, it’s better than over-promising and not delivering, because you don’t get a lot of tries.
330
331
Obviously the commercial news media tries to get you worked up and terrified so you’ll buy products that they’re advertising.
332
I guess I feel the most powerful when someone tries to take my power or belittle me or insult me, and it doesn’t work.
333
334
I’m sort of an optimist, a high energy type of enthusiastic guy. Someone that tries to be genuine with the players, I’m not a guy that’s going to come in and be a drill sergeant.
335
