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.

164
When you love someone and care about them, you want what’s best for them, and it’s always the hardest thing to realize maybe you aren’t what’s best for them, how hard you try.

I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life.

Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.
178

I would rather try to persuade a man to go along, because once I have persuaded him, he will stick. If I scare him, he will stay just as long as he is scared, and then he is gone.
183
I try to have a balanced diet. I try to write down everything that I eat.
184
You can’t try to do things; you simply must do them.
185
I always try to see the good in everything, and that gives me strength. Even when I lost in the London Olympics quarterfinals, I said to myself, ‘Don’t lose heart, God has his own plans.’ Actually, life just goes on; you have to accept whatever challenge you face and become stronger.
186
Fun is one of the most important – and underratedingredients in any successful venture. If you’re not having fun, then it’s probably time to call it quits and try something else.
187
One would like to be grand and heroic, if one could; but if not, why try at all? One wants to be very something, very great, very heroic; or if not that, then at least very stylish and very fashionable. It is this everlasting mediocrity that bores me.
Harriet Beecher Stowe
188
When I was a young man, Dirac was my hero. He made a breakthrough, a new method of doing physics. He had the courage to simply guess at the form of an equation, the equation we now call the Dirac equation, and to try to interpret it afterwards.
189
Frustration is a sign I am acting independently. The more you try your own way, the tighter the doors will stay closed.
190
Some people are afraid of what they might find if they try to analyze themselves too much, but you have to crawl into your wounds to discover where your fears are. Once the bleeding starts, the cleansing can begin.
191
My mind doesn’t work, my memories don’t work like a computer file where I can just retrieve them and, boy, there it is. My mind is selective in terms of memories. When I try to think back to college or high school, there are gaps. I try to fill them in. But I can’t tell you it’s always the truth.
192
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don’t limit myself.
193
Instead of stubbornly attempting to use surrealism for purposes of subversion, it is necessary to try to make of surrealism something as solid, complete and classic as the works of museums.
194
The life of a model isn’t easy. But I try to keep a good head on my shoulders by staying close to my family and old friends. They’re my support system.
Constance Jablonski
195
I pay attention to lyrics and I know what rap fans care about. I try to write for the average listener and I’m conscious of the mainstream without selling out.
196
I love my life, and I try to keep my fans happy.
197
You can’t suppress the things that make us human. It’s pointless to try.
198
Some people try to get very philosophical and cerebral about what they’re trying to say with jazz. You don’t need any prologues, you just play.
Oscar Peterson
199
I try to watch a movie a day, if not more, and through movies, I learned about so many different political themes I hadn’t been interested in and cultural things I hadn’t been aware of and economic factors I hadn’t thought about.
200
It’s vital that the monarchy keeps in touch with the people. It’s what I try and do.
201
People always underestimate me. But if you stick around long enough, act out of conviction, and try to be honorable in everything you do, good things will come to you.
202
I have a dogmatic certainty: God is in every person’s life. God is in everyone’s life. Even if the life of a person has been a disaster, even if it is destroyed by vices, drugs or anything else – God is in this person’s life. You can – you must – try to seek God in every human life.
203
Too many people just eat to consume calories. Try dining for a change.
John Walters
204
Whenever anyone has offended me, I try to raise my soul so high that the offense cannot reach it.
Rene Descartes
205
Every generation witnesses atrocities. People in power try to fulfill prophecy.
206
Illness, mechanicals, and injuries is not something you can 100% avoid; you can only try to limit the risk.
Nino Schurter
207
If I meet other people and criticize their weaknesses, I rob myself of higher cognitive power. But if I try to enter deeply and lovingly into another person’s good qualities, I gather in that force.
208
I try to avoid all mistakes. I try to prepare my players and to put them in the best condition to play the game. If you discover a problem during the game, it is too late. You must anticipate and prepare.
209
When you form a team, why do you try to form a team? Because teamwork builds trust and trust builds speed.
Russel Honore
210
I think French women tend to keep it simple. I’d say try the less-is-more approach, which is not always easy to get right.
211
It’s just a game. I love it. And yeah, I get frustrated, but I try to not let it get me too upset. I mean, I don’t get upset over bad shots or anything like that.
212
When it comes to time management, I talk a lot more about energy management. I try to give people 100% of my energy even if I’m giving them very little of my time.
213
The happiness of one’s own heart alone cannot satisfy the soul; one must try to include, as necessary to one’s own happiness, the happiness of others.
214
If you try to make such projects, unseen by others, as perfect as any human could, you’ll develop skills that other professionals don’t have.
215
I try and create for the audience something that relates to real-life experience.
216
Often people attempt to live their lives backwards; they try to have more things, or more money, in order to do more of what they want, so they will be happier.
Margaret Young
217
I try to make music with emotion and integrity. And authenticity. You can feel when something’s authentic, and you can feel when it’s not: you know when someone’s trying to make the club record, or trying to make the girl record, or trying to make the thug record. It’s none of that. It’s just my emotions.
218
I think it’s important to earn your fan base and not just try to immediately advance to the top. If you ride to the top quickly, you’re liable to fall as quickly. Take your time. It’s a long journey ahead of you as an artist. There’s nowhere that you’re supposed to be other than right now living inside of your art.
219
Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
220
Every girl/woman in the world has flaws. Instead of focusing on your flaws when you look in a mirror, focus on the parts of you that you love; try to do this every morning. You will ooze confidence all day long.
Chelan Simmons
221
I try to look at problems very clearly and think, ‘How do we get out of this? What will work? What will be the consequences for the people involved?’
222
If two wrongs don’t make a right, try three.
223
In order to really enjoy a dog, one doesn’t merely try to train him to be semi-human. The point of it is to open oneself to the possibility of becoming partly a dog.
Edward Hoagland
224
The rivalry is with ourself. I try to be better than is possible. I fight against myself, not against the other.
Luciano Pavarotti
225
You must accept that you might fail; then, if you do your best and still don’t win, at least you can be satisfied that you’ve tried. If you don’t accept failure as a possibility, you don’t set high goals, you don’t branch out, you don’t try – you don’t take the risk.
226
It is a bit embarrassing to have been concerned with the human problem all one’s life and find at the end that one has no more to offer by way of advice than ‘try to be a little kinder.’
227
Never trust a man, who when left alone with a tea cosey… Doesn’t try it on.
228
The more people that learn about you, even if you’re an underdog, then you can come under fire a lot and the more attention you get and the more threatening or dangerous you appear to people. And the more people try to knock you down.
229
You’re trying too hard to find a correlation here. You don’t know these people, you don’t know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation.
Marc Racicot
230
I try to keep my filters simple. I don’t do anything major to my photos.
231
I don’t try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
232
Success is just being happy. And I try so many different things. I do a lot of different things. Because I think God has helped me to love myself. I know who God is, and I love God.
233
When I work, I try to eat as much vegetarian as possible. When I do Cupid, I eat vegetarian because I need the energy. I’ve got those wings on my back.
Karl Urban
234
I believe in nourishment and having a balanced diet. I avoid bingeing and try and eat healthy, especially lots of amla, and drink lots and lots of water.
235
If you think it’s hard to meet new people, try picking up the wrong golf ball.
236
As a leader, the first person I need to lead is me. The first person that I should try to change is me.
237
If somebody says I’m a leader or notices the things I try to do to be a leader, it’s the ultimate compliment.
238
The future hasn’t happened yet and the past is gone. So I think the only moment we have is right here and now, and I try to make the best of those moments, the moments that I’m in.
239
Being a great baker and pastry chef requires the upmost open mind. I try every dessert that comes my way!
240
In planes, I used to try to look behind the clouds to see if I saw an angel.
241
I don’t talk to old people; they try to find ways to stay static. Young folks are the ones with the ideas and constantly moving forward.
242
I don’t like to try very hard. Most of the time it’s just jeans, a T-shirt and Converse trainers. Casual, comfortable and boyish is how I’d describe my look. The way people wear clothes makes them stylish, rather than the clothes themselves.
Jessica Hart
243
What I try to tell young people is that if you come together with a mission, and its grounded with love and a sense of community, you can make the impossible possible.
244
Always try to rub up against money, for if you rub up against money long enough, some of it may rub off on you.
Damon Runyon
245
I think the kids in school that laughed at the clothes that we wore and the house that we lived in, and then my mother had to cut hair… I think that was a good motivator. Every time they laughed at me, they just built a fire, and there was only one way to put it out – to try and show ’em I was as good as they were.
Jimmy Dean
246
I have always been delighted at the prospect of a new day, a fresh try, one more start, with perhaps a bit of magic waiting somewhere behind the morning.
247
I want to be proud of this country, but when aspects of our policy don’t align with my ethics, I want to protest them and try to change them.
248
I’m a failed poet. Reading poetry helps me to see the world differently, and I try to infuse my prose with figurative language, which goes against the trend in fiction.
249
Whatever I try to do, I always try to give it my best and try to be a killer because, at the end of the day, if you don’t work hard, you are not going to get food on your table.
250
We never fail when we try to do our duty, we always fail when we neglect to do it.
251
My father used to say that it’s never too late to do anything you wanted to do. And he said, ‘You never know what you can accomplish until you try.’
252
I try and keep my feet on the ground and keep working at my game.
253
You don’t know what you can get away with until you try.
254
You never know the plan. You never know what’s going to happen. We are not even promised tomorrow. I just try to focus on one day at a time.
255
I try to make the good days great and take something positive from the days I’m not feeling good – work on technique or something like that.
Katie Ledecky
256
You can have all the talent in the world, but it’s the ability to go out there every day and try to get better. And that’s the key to being successful and being successful for a long time.
257
That’s why I began doing makeup in the first place: I was hoping that through helping people see the beauty in themselves, I could try and find it in me.
258
At the end of the day, you’re responsible for yourself and your actions and that’s all you can control. So rather than be frustrated with what you can’t control, try to fix the things you can.
259
In life, you have ups and downs, but you should never give up. You should always try to get ahead.
Yalitza Aparicio
260
It doesn’t matter if you try and try and try again, and fail. It does matter if you try and fail, and fail to try again.
261
You’ll never do a whole lot unless you’re brave enough to try.
262
You have to learn every single day, and try not to make the same mistakes. That’s my mentality.
263
Of course there are certain things that get to me, but I try and lead by example and show people that, especially with haters, that you should just ignore them.
264
Those in power always try to distort reality, to suit their needs and keep things safe.
265
I realize I don’t do a very good job in keeping up to date, but I try to.
266
Be true to the game, because the game will be true to you. If you try to shortcut the game, then the game will shortcut you. If you put forth the effort, good things will be bestowed upon you. That’s truly about the game, and in some ways that’s about life too.
267
For me, I just try to make sure I eat enough and drink enough water and that’s about it.
268
I am constantly struggling to show people that there is more to me than my appearance. You do have to try and overcome those hurdles. Female actresses need to be given the chance to be more than how they look.
269
Any time I try to play anything that doesn’t come natural, I’m just plain bad.
Andy Griffith
270
Don’t try to change anybody. And they should let you be yourself, ‘You loved me when you met me, so let’s keep going!’
271
The company without a strategy is willing to try anything.
272
I’m not perfect; no one is perfect. Everyone makes mistakes. I think you try to learn from those mistakes.
273
I just happen to like ordinary things. When I paint them, I don’t try to make them extraordinary. I just try to paint them ordinary-ordinary.
274
As far as practicing is concerned, I usually try to do one to two hours a day. It isn’t good to practice too much, or your playing becomes too mechanical.
275
Do not try to live forever. You will not succeed.
276
I like to solve problems. I know it is a skill set, but it’s also an obligation. I grew up with parents who believe that you don’t simply complain: you try to find solutions and fix what’s in front of you.
277
As far as the constitution allows me, I will try to ensure that there is responsible and accountable governance at all levels of government in the country. For I will not have kept my own trust with the Nigerian people if I allow others abuse theirs under my watch.
278
Things go wrong for me all the time with technology. I’m not familiar enough with it, and I’m too old-school a brain to be able to figure it out. I’m dumb. Anything that I have to attack with my thumbs, for any period of time, makes me feel stupid. So, I try to avoid it, as much as possible, to protect my thumbs.
279
I learn something new every game. Every game is always different, no matter how you try and think about it beforehand.
Marcus Rashford
280
One of the greatest gifts God ever gave to humanity was that of liberty. We love freedom and bloom under it. We cannot and should not try to force people to live by a certain religious code. To do so negates our free will.
281
Try to leave the Earth a better place than when you arrived.
282
All my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it.
283
You can’t learn if you don’t try.
David Green
284
I’m a competitor; I like to try to be the best at everything I do.
285
Some people never contribute anything positive to society, they may even drain our resources, but most of us try to do something better, to give back.
286
People try to function in the real world – the analog world – while they’re texting in the digital world, and they run into the car in front of them. It doesn’t work to be in both.
287
I don’t want to try to piggyback off of anybody else.
288
I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life – to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.
289
I’m scared to be political. You get too powerful, and more people try to take you out.
290
Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough – that we should try again.
291
Talk about a dream, try to make it real.
292
Every bad joke, every endorsement deal, all of the things that a typical host would normally get creamed for, people don’t mind, because they know I don’t cheat when it comes to the work I actually try. I’m a lab rat. I’m a perpetual apprentice. The joke is on me if there is one.
293
Just make games for yourself and try to have a critical eye to what you do. If you genuinely like the game, there will be other people who like it as well.
294
There are not many persons who know what wonders are opened to them in the stories and visions of their youth; for when as children we listen and dream, we think but half-formed thoughts, and when as men we try to remember, we are dulled and prosaic with the poison of life.
295
I try to woo the person whom I love. Even a good morning call to start the day is good enough for me.
296
If you think education is expensive, try ignorance.
Jeff Rich
297
My competition is always with my previous song. Each time I start working on a new track, I try to make it better than my last one.
298
I love to put on lotion. Sometimes I’ll watch TV and go into a lotion trance for an hour. I try to find brands that don’t taste bad in case anyone wants to taste me.
299
So many people are looking at what’s wrong, and I try to encourage them to look at what’s right in their life. A lot of people have it a lot worse than you do.
300
I direct with energy. I believe in energy. I think energy is an electric thing in actors. I try to inspire, encourage, and make choices with lots of energy. And truth. I’m big fan of truth and being funny. I like leading 50 people into battle every day.
301
I believe in a ‘give us this day our daily bread’ sort of thing. And what I draw from that is, I try not to stock my refrigerator for groceries for the week, cause I might not live to see the full week.
302
I make fun of situations and try and find the humor in things, but it’s never at the expense of the other guy.
303
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
304
Look, sometimes, no matter how hard you try, sometimes you need a bit of luck.
305
However much I might try to expound or explain Love, when I come to Love itself, I am ashamed of my explanations… Love alone can explain the mysteries of love and lovers.
306
And it comes from saying no to 1,000 things to make sure we don’t get on the wrong track or try to do too much. We’re always thinking about new markets we could enter, but it’s only by saying no that you can concentrate on the things that are really important.
307
Arithmetic is where the answer is right and everything is nice and you can look out of the window and see the blue sky – or the answer is wrong and you have to start over and try again and see how it comes out this time.
308
First of all, I try to be a positive role model.
309
Shall we make a new rule of life from tonight: always to try to be a little kinder than is necessary?
310
I just try to do something to sweat at least an hour a day.
311
If you try to do your best there is no failure.
312
You never think about what life’s going to be like five years down the road or 10 – you just go though the day and try to make good decisions. Sometimes you do, sometimes you don’t. You just hope this day will be a good day.
Jack Harbaugh
313
I try to look cute all the time.
Sloane Stephens
314
When I wake up in a bad mood, I try not to stay in one. Learn to make the best of what you have.
315
Different people in different parts of the world can be thinking the same thoughts at the same time. It’s an obsession of mine: that different people in different places are thinking the same thing but for different reasons. I try to make films which connect people.
316
When you try to do everything perfectly, it gets very tiring.
317
Son, we’d like to keep you around this season but we’re going to try and win a pennant.
318
I do love email. Wherever possible I try to communicate asynchronously. I’m really good at email.
319
Try to see the good in others. When you’re tempted to judge someone, make an effort to see their goodness. Your willingness to look for the best in people will subconsciously bring it forth.
320
There is nothing impossible to him who will try.
Alexander the Great
321
I try to keep in mind that it’s a long journey. It’s not a race. It’s about staying focused, continuing to do good work, make my family and community proud; that’s all I really want to do… and pay my bills.
322
There are so many different walks of life, so many different personalities in the world. And no longer do you have to be a chameleon and try and adapt to that environment – you can truly be yourself.
323
In the end, the only people who fail are those who do not try.
324
Sometimes you’re trying your best and you still can’t find a solution, but I try not to waste my life living in a dark place.
325
I could describe my career in two words: who knew. I was on the path to becoming a professional baseball player, but I got injured in college. When I decided to move out to L.A. to try acting, nobody was betting on me, not even my family.
326
I can’t predict the future and I don’t have respect for people who try to.
327
I’ll try anything once, twice if I like it, three times to make sure.
328
I intend to fight and I want to win. But my priorities are basically to be a good Brother and a strong one, and to try to be a good father one day.
329
I hate letting my teammates down. I know I’m not going to make every shot. Sometimes I try to make the right play, and if it results in a loss, I feel awful. I don’t feel awful because I have to answer questions about it. I feel awful in that locker room because I could have done something more to help my teammates win.
330
The worst part of success is to try finding someone who is happy for you.
331
If you will tell me why the fen appears impassable, I then will tell you why I think that I can cross it if I try.
Marianne Moore
332
You never know what you can do till you try.
William Cobbett
333
I see myself out of my own eyes, which means I have no idea what’s going on the other way around. I just think I try to be a good person – and I fail.
334
Many people have the heart to give back, but a lot don’t know how to. I try to be the bridge for those people – whether that means getting them involved in one of my campaigns or inspiring them by showing them a blueprint of how to get others engaged.
335
Drink lots of water and get enough sleep. Try not to stress. Positive thoughts only!
336
It may be that religion is dead, and if it is, we had better know it and set ourselves to try to discover other sources of moral strength before it is too late.
337
I try to stick to real food, meaning anything that has been grown naturally or organically and that is not majorly processed: meats and proteins, a lot of green vegetables, less sugary fruits, solid starches and nuts.
338
Your attitude is like a box of crayons that color your world. Constantly color your picture gray, and your picture will always be bleak. Try adding some bright colors to the picture by including humor, and your picture begins to lighten up.
339
What I like to do is try to make a difference with the work I do.
340
I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.
Joan Miro
341
Even though the album is an endangered species, can we try and make a coherent and good one, even if it’s like making a horse and cart at a Nascar conference?
342
If you are afraid of being lonely, don’t try to be right.
Jules Renard
343
Somebody said they threw their copy of Dungeons and Dragons into the fire, and it screamed. It’s a game! The magic spells in it are as real as the gold. Try retiring on that stuff.
Gary Gygax
344
Nintendo‘s philosophy is never to go the easy path; it’s always to challenge ourselves and try to do something new.
345
Don’t try to squeeze into a glass slipper. Instead, shatter the glass ceiling.
346
I very rarely think in words at all. A thought comes, and I may try to express it in words afterwards.
347
The disabled people that do sport, they don’t think about what they don’t have but try to get better with what they do have. That is the same for me.
348
If you have to be in a soap opera try not to get the worst role.
349
I want my clothes, my stores, everything I design to have that feeling of being natural and easy. And that takes effort, but you try not to have it show.
350
We are so lucky because all our fans from around the world are great. We love all our fans from everywhere, and they want us to visit them. We will try! They are really the best fans we could wish for.
351
I try to keep my private life kind of private.
352
For me, I try not to set any goals or try and see what’s gonna happen, because I don’t wanna be let down or disappointed that something didn’t happen the way I thought it was gonna happen.
353
We all have a responsibility to try and make this world better, whether it’s through our work, the causes we champion, the way that we treat people, or the values we impart to the next generation.
354
Whoever comes to me finds me a mirror to whatever is in his heart. Thus, I try to help him to see qualities in himself that he needs to overcome.
355
I try to apply the organic concept to my clothes and bedding as well. There’s nothing like swimming in organic cotton sheets.
356
When I write a goal down – and I truly write them down – it becomes a part of me. That’s a contract that I sign with myself to say, ‘I don’t care what happens – I’m going to stay on this path. I’m going to try and see this through; I’m going to give it my best shot, my best effort.’
357
One of the difficulties for me is that I’m naturally very skinny, so the problem that I have is trying to keep weight on, put weight on. I have to eat six, seven times a day, and I have to have a lot of carbohydrates to try and fatten me up so I have something to turn into muscle.
358
And I like the look on people’s faces when I say I’m doing this movie called Pride and Prejudice and they kind of smile, and then I say I’m in a movie called Doom and they kind of do a double take and try and put the two things together. And they never quite manage to.
359
We try to make games we want to make for the sake of making fun games and not necessarily to make a profit.
360
I always try to start out with some type of goal. Then I work backward and think of what I need to do to get there, and give myself smaller goals that are more immediate.
361
The past is the past, but if you’re overanalyzing or trying to repeat it, you’re gonna get stuck. I just had a wonderful youth, and I loved everything about it, so I really try and hang on to it.
362
As a DJ, I’m really focused on the crowd. I never play the same set. I always look at the crowd, try to read what they want, and always look at the signs, point at people.
363
I’m very, very competitive. If my grandmother asks to race me down the street, I’m going to try to beat her. And I’ll probably enjoy it!
364
Try a thing you haven‘t done three times. Once, to get over the fear of doing it. Twice, to learn how to do it. And a third time to figure out whether you like it or not.
Virgil Thomson
365
I don’t write on topics that require a lot of urgency. But in ‘Stiff,’ I wanted to change people’s hearts about organ donation. Whenever I get a chance, I try to talk about that.
366
How absurd and delicious it is to be in love with somebody younger than yourself. Everybody should try it.
Barbara Pym
367
I’m not perfect but I always try to give of my best.
368
If you want to send a message, try Western Union.
Frank Capra
369
I am very excited – it’s a big opportunity for me to play for Manchester United, a new challenge for me. I will try to do my best.
370
I like to embrace natural beauty. I try to get at least 8 hours of sleep, drinking a lot of water and exercising.
371
I try and keep busy and lift some weights and do cardio as much as I can.
372
There is only one way in which one can endure man’s inhumanity to man and that is to try, in one’s own life, to exemplify man’s humanity to man.
Alan Paton
373
Art is the most beautiful deception of all. And although people try to incorporate the everyday events of life in it, we must hope that it will remain a deception lest it become a utilitarian thing, sad as a factory.
Claude Debussy
374
If you realize that all things change, there is nothing you will try to hold on to. If you are not afraid of dying, there is nothing you cannot achieve.
375
I really struggle with that feeling of helplessness. That’s why I really try to get my blogs, and even myself, to point to the positive and look at all the inspiring things that are happening.
376
You try to be yourself, do only what you’ve always done and like to do, and right away, you’re tagged as an oddball.
377
Customers are willing to try new things, and if you can survive, you will have fewer competitors. It’s like entering the eye of the storm. As long as you are strong enough to survive, you can end up in still water by yourself.
378
If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. Then quit. There’s no point in being a damn fool about it.
379
I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.
380
I definitely like sorting stuff out, and I have the enthusiasm to try and help.
381
The actor creates with his own flesh and blood all those things which all the arts try in some way to describe.
Lee Strasberg
382
There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment. They show off too much and try too hard. They don’t understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar. I know where that line is.
383
The successful man will profit from his mistakes and try again in a different way.
384
Your best ability is availability and if you’re not on the field, they can’t use you and you don’t play. So, I try to play as much football as I can.
385
I never underestimate or overestimate anybody. Really we have to try and find levels of performance for ourselves first.
386
Each goal, each win, going to different buildings, the rivalries, the excitement – it is something. I try to catch myself, you know, in the warm-ups, when you’re on the line and the anthem and you get to some milestones and stuff. It’s such a neat experience.
387
Don’t try to teach a pig to sing. It doesn’t work, and it annoys the pig.
388
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.
389
I set very high standards, normally for myself. For other people, I try to lower my standards.
390
I’ve always thought of acting as more of an exercise in empathy, which is not to be confused with sympathy. You’re trying to get inside a certain emotional reality or motivational reality and try to figure out what that’s about so you can represent it.
391
I think rap music is brought up, gangster rap in particular, as well as video games, every other thing they try to hang the ills of society on as a scapegoat.
392
I think to be a great quarterback, you have to have a great leadership, great attention to detail, and a relentless competitive nature. And that’s what I try to bring to the table, and I have a long way to go. I’m still learning, and I’m still on a constant quest for knowledge.
393
Never say no when a client asks for something, even if it is the moon. You can always try, and anyhow there is plenty of time afterwards to explain that it was not possible.
394
I’ve tried to incorporate new ways of playing the game. That’s why you hear people call me a ‘hybrid goalie’ and say I adjust to the situation, never doing the same thing over and over like a butterfly goalie. I try to see what works and hopefully with my talent I’m able to play it and make it happen.
395
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.
396
If you don’t try your hardest, and you’re unsuccessful, you always have that excuse.
397
When things are a disappointment, try not to be so discouraged.
398
I feel like a survivor from an age that people no longer understand. I want to try to explain what the 1930s – the golden age of Hollywood – was truly like. People forget that America was such a different place then, not yet the dominant force in the world.
399
History is a relentless master. It has no present, only the past rushing into the future. To try to hold fast is to be swept aside.
400
The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
401
It’s never going to be a smooth sailing ship, there’s going to be ups and downs and I think one of the most important things to understand is not to ride the highs too high and ride the lows too low – it is a marathon and if you can just try to steady the ship as you go.
402
I think all of us are thankful every day we get to put this uniform on, and we play this game. So try not to take any days for granted. Every time you take the field, give a hundred percent and leave it all out there.
403
I always try to do as much as I can do. I’m never a person that does not enough, because I’d regret not doing enough and think I probably could have done more. I probably go too far and have to reel myself back in, which works in some things, and other things it doesn’t work.
404
If you fall during your life, it doesn’t matter. You’re never a failure as long as you try to get up.
405
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.
406
If you have got a dream and you’ve got ambition, then go for it. You know, unless you try, you’ll never know.
407
In many a piece of music, it’s the pause or the rest that gives the piece its beauty and its shape. And I know I, as a writer, will often try to include a lot of empty space on the page so that the reader can complete my thoughts and sentences and so that her imagination has room to breathe.
408
The only honest art form is laughter, comedy. You can’t fake it… try to fake three laughs in an hour – ha ha ha ha ha – they’ll take you away, man. You can’t.
Lenny Bruce
409
I try to work and enjoy life, and that’s about all.
Curtis Armstrong
410
I show up ready to play, so I normally try and fit the situation.
411
I try to give to my music the spiritual quality, very deep in the soul, which does something even if you are not realizing it or analyzing it – that’s the duty of the music.
412
With skin and beauty, it always starts from within. So I try to eat very healthy.
413
I had so many people try to talk me out of starting a rocket company, it was crazy.
414
Enjoy the journey and try to get better every day. And don’t lose the passion and the love for what you do.
415
Don’t become a mere recorder of facts, but try to penetrate the mystery of their origin.
416
Every time I play darts I try to keep my poker face on and stay focused until that last dart has gone in.
417
One of my modeling bookers told me that the most important thing is to try to be vigilant about taking care of yourself. Get sleep, don’t be afraid to trim your hair even if you’re trying to grow it out, don’t bite your fingernails, and stay in shape. A lot of it is in the little things.
Julia Jones
418
The biggest mistake people make is to try to lose too much weight too fast.
419
I don’t want to be mean to people. I try to be as nice as possible to everyone.
420
I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure – which is: Try to please everybody.
Herbert Bayard Swope
421
I can never be safe; I always try and go against the grain. As soon as I accomplish one thing, I just set a higher goal. That’s how I’ve gotten to where I am.
422
The first question which you will ask and which I must try to answer is this; What is the use of climbing Mount Everest? and my answer must at once be, it is no use. There is not the slightest prospect of any gain whatsoever.
George Leigh Mallory
423
I think, for every phase of your life, you take something out of it, you learn from it, you grow from it. You just have to try to take what you can from it and then move on to the next phase of your life to be better.
424
I try to be as honest about what I see and to speak rather than be silent, especially if it means I can save lives, or serve humanity.
425
Even when bad things happen you have to try to use those bad things in a positive manner and really just take the positive out of it.
Natalie du Toit
426
I was born and raised in China, Mandarin is my first language, and I definitely know America. I think that will be my strength, to try and bring the two worlds together.
427
Dementia resembles delirium in the same way an ultra-marathon resembles a dash across the street. Same basic components, vastly different scale. If you’ve run delirium’s course once or twice in your life, try to imagine a version that never ends.
428
My child, you are going to be a great king; do not imitate me in the taste I have had for building, or in that I have had for war; try, on the contrary, to be at peace with your neighbors.
Louis XIV
429
I think you have to be what you are. Don’t try to be somebody else. You have to be yourself at all times.
430
I think the secret is really observation. Well, if you observe what’s going on and try to figure out how people are thinking, I think you can always write something that people will understand.
Sam Cooke
431
Don’t try to be different. Just be good. To be good is different enough.
Arthur Freed
432
As an artist, I feel that we must try many things – but above all we must dare to fail.
433
People always say that you can’t please everybody. I think that’s a cop-out. Why not attempt it? ‘Cause think of all the people you will please if you try.
434
I will try to work very hard not to disappoint the people of South Africa.
435
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
436
The goal is to try and make the perfect song. Which of course will never happen.
437
Adopt responsibility for your own well-being, try to put your family together, try to serve your community, try to seek for eternal truth… That’s the sort of thing that can ground you in your life, enough so that you can withstand the difficulty of life.
438
If someone asks me what cloud computing is, I try not to get bogged down with definitions. I tell them that, simply put, cloud computing is a better way to run your business.
439
If I play a villain, I try to find his lightness and his good side. And if I play a hero or a good guy, I’ll try to find his darkness or his flaws. Because I don’t believe in good and evil. I believe in grays.
440
Don’t try to guess what it is people want and give it to them. Don’t ask for a show of hands. Try your best to write what you like, what you think your friends would like and what you think your father would like and then cross your fingers… The most valuable thing you have is your own voice.
441
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.
442
I schedule ‘me’ time because, just like everyone else, I need to unwind. I try to remember to take it easy and breathe.
443
I don’t believe that if you do good, good things will happen. Everything is completely accidental and random. Sometimes bad things happen to very good people and sometimes good things happen to bad people. But at least if you try to do good things, then you’re spending your time doing something worthwhile.
444
I never plan to run at a certain pace. All my career my motto has been ‘no limits.’ I don’t try to run with a set time in mind, sticking to set splits, because what happens if you’re ahead of your splits – are you going to slow down?
445
I try to speak plainly so that my constituents who don’t follow the nuances of government like I do, because they’re too busy earning a real living, can understand the issues before me. None of this stuff is brain surgery.
446
As the times change, people change, and so do their tastes, so I try to understand what the public wants, what they require. I have tried to make the music a bit easier for them to understand.
Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
447
Just try to be happy. Unhappiness starts with wanting to be happier.
Sam Levenson
448
An award means a lot to me. It brings happiness along with a kind of fear. It brings fear because the award is the responsibility which audiences have put on us. So a singer winning an award should always try to give best of him to the audiences.
449
When I’m not training for a movie, it’s more relaxed. I do a lot of running. Usually I’ll run four to six miles about three times a week. You try to eat right, but you don’t always.
450
Be modest, be respectful of others, try to understand.
451
My dad‘s method in his madness was to try every sport and then observe what I liked. I played football, tennis, golf, cricket but I loved my snooker.
Ronnie O’Sullivan
452
If you try to come off as this big-time star with an attitude, people don’t like that.
Selena
453
You try to do what you can to bring harmony wherever you go.
454
Nobody’s perfect, everybody is flawed in a way, and to recognize your own flaws and to just enjoy them is something that I try to do for myself. I do that all the time.
Adam Gontier
455
Since we can’t know what knowledge will be most needed in the future, it is senseless to try to teach it in advance. Instead, we should try to turn out people who love learning so much and learn so well that they will be able to learn whatever needs to be learned.
John Holt
456
My main focus is to always try to be myself first, and then, hey, if I wear a cool jacket, that’s a bonus.
457
My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry; to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.
458
I try to make it look easy, but the behind-the-scenes stuff is the challenge.
459
Each outing is its own game. You roll on your game plan. It is a different chess match each time you go out there. I just try to be prepared.
Jason Hammel
460
Our deeds disguise us. People need endless time to try on their deeds, until each knows the proper deeds for him to do. But every day, every hour, rushes by. There is no time.
461
If you don’t want to put on any makeup, try some fake eyelashes. They make your eyes pop and give you a little confidence boost.
462
There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do.
463
One of the things you have to deal with is the pressure of expectations. It takes time for people to believe in yourself; to believe you can finish the innings. You try and do it consistently and that’s what you aim to do as a batsman.
464
If something’s important enough, you should try. Even if – the probable outcome is failure.
465
One who has no love in his heart will try to possess everything for himself. One who has love in his heart is ready to sacrifice everything, including his own body, for the benefit of others.
Thiruvalluvar
466
I thought being in the wheelchair might be kind of limiting for me as an actor. It turned out cool in a lot of ways. Of course, at the end of the day, I can get up out of the chair and go home, but I’m very acutely aware that most people can’t, so I try to give the situation that depth.
Jim Beaver
467
We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.
468
I think it is important to begin with a statement in your speech that grabs the attention of the audience. I try to make my opening line 15 words or less.
469
I recognise life is like a magnet. Positive and negative are on the opposite sides of the magnet. You can try to cut the negative part off, but it’s still there. When you accept both of them, it’s like, ‘You know what? Don’t get too identified with success or too identified with failure – just be cool with them.’
470
One ought never to turn one’s back on a threatened danger and try to run away from it. If you do that, you will double the danger. But if you meet it promptly and without flinching, you will reduce the danger by half. Never run away from anything. Never!
471
I have nothing new to teach the world. Truth and Non-violence are as old as the hills. All I have done is to try experiments in both on as vast a scale as I could.
472
The most important thing is to try to do your best.
473
I surround myself with positive, happy people. And I always try to balance things that I have to do with things that I want to do.
474
I always try to see my weakness, work on it, to be better as a person and a player, everything.
475
The independent-minded movies – it’s always an uphill battle to get them made and seen. You do what you can, and go out there after and try to tell people about it, but at the end of the day, that’s all you can do.
476
I own my sexuality, and I don’t try to hide it.
477
Try and leave this world a little better than you found it, and when your turn comes to die, you can die happy in feeling that at any rate, you have not wasted your time but have done your best.
478
Instead of minority and majority politics, if we try and give the same rights to all, it is not polarisation. This is the core value of our Constitution.
479
All life demands struggle. Those who have everything given to them become lazy, selfish, and insensitive to the real values of life. The very striving and hard work that we so constantly try to avoid is the major building block in the person we are today.
480
I just try to be authentic.
481
People sometimes turn out to be almost the opposite of how they present. It isn’t because they’re trying to fool you or because they’re hypocrites. It’s because they badly want to be that thing, and so they’ll try to be it.
482
I don’t think about art when I’m working. I try to think about life.
Jean-Michel Basquiat
483
Some people try to find things in this game that don’t exist but football is only two things – blocking and tackling.
484
I do not try to play a role. I feel good being myself and saying what I think.
485
The important thing is to learn a lesson every time you lose. Life is a learning process and you have to try to learn what’s best for you. Let me tell you, life is not fun when you’re banging your head against a brick wall all the time.
486
I’m scared of heights, but for my 30th birthday I’m going to try and get someone to kick me out of a plane and do a parachute jump.
487
The only real lawyers are trial lawyers, and trial lawyers try cases to juries.
488
You have to be confident in who you are and what you’re doing. Of course, you try to evolve. I would never tell you, ‘Today is the best I will ever be.’ I’m always trying to be a better chef, a better dad, a better person.
489
There is no such thing as an empty space or an empty time. There is always something to see, something to hear. In fact, try as we may to make a silence, we cannot.
John Cage
490
But we try to pretend, you see, that the external world exists altogether independently of us.
491
I look at athletes in all sports and try to picture what kind of football player they’d be, what position they’d play and so on.
492
You will never exaggerate when you speak good things of God. It is not possible to do so. Try, dear brethren, and boast in the Lord.
493
You’re not gonna get through life without being worshipful or devoted to something. You’re either devoted to your job, or to your desires. So the best way to spend your life is to try to be devoted to prayer, to Allah.
494
What is interesting is the power and the impact of social media… So we must try to use social media in a good way.
495
You may go through a lot of good times, you may go through a lot of bad times, you just have to try to prepare yourself as best as you can, and for me, that’s just sticking with my family.
496
Nothing burns more calories than dancing in 5-inch heels… try it!
497
It’s the people who try to be clever who never are; the people who are clever never think of trying to be.
Gilbert Parker
498
You’re going to have your struggles every now and then, but you’ve just got to always keep it in perspective and try to have a good time.
499
I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better.
500
I go up to San Francisco on holidays and spend time with my family there, but whenever I go to Japan, I enjoy every moment. I try to go back there every year or so. It’s a phenomenal place, and I absolutely love it. It’s not my second home; it is my home. Whenever I go back, I feel very connected with Japan.
Ryan Potter
501
I try to avoid looking forward or backward, and try to keep looking upward.
502
You can’t get around pain and opposition, but you can try to be joyful in the trial, and thank yourself for the trial, and thank God for the strength to get through it.
503
Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another’s money. Idiots!
504
If you never try, you’ll never know what you are capable of.
John Barrow
505
Most women set out to try to change a man, and when they have changed him they do not like him.
506
You will enrich your life immeasurably if you approach it with a sense of wonder and discovery, and always challenge yourself to try new things.
507
You can’t just ask customers what they want and then try to give that to them. By the time you get it built, they’ll want something new.
508
Watch the mouth, it reveals what the eyes try to hide.
John Thaw
509
If I’d been on the Remain side I would have tried to have seen the best in Europe and tried to explain that. Instead, what they’ve done is endlessly try and talk up what they see as the weaknesses of Britain and they aren’t there. That’s a total mistake.
510
I just try to learn from every mistake that I make so that I never make them again.
511
As a defender I try to keep clean sheets.
512
I don’t need to hang out in a posse and try to act cool.
Jeremy London
513
It’s OK to make mistakes. Just try not to make the same mistakes over.
514
Some pain is simply the normal grief of human existence. That is pain that I try to make room for. I honor my grief.
515
I very much believe in values-based leadership and that the values that I believe in and try to govern by are transcendent values.
516
I have a complex feeling about genre. I love it, but I hate it at the same time. I have the urge to make audiences thrill with the excitement of a genre, but I also try to betray and destroy the expectations placed on that genre.
517
Writing your own jokes, you just kind of keep working on something until you think it might work, and then you try it out and hope for the best.
518
I respect all religions, but I’m not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn’t brought up in a religious way, but I believe there’s something out there that looks after you.
519
With my platform, anyway, I want to try and do good things and want to help people.
520
Like success, failure is many things to many people. With Positive Mental Attitude, failure is a learning experience, a rung on the ladder, a plateau at which to get your thoughts in order and prepare to try again.
521
I did give leg-spin a try as well. I used to play a lot of under-arm cricket in the streets of Chennai. I can spin the legbreak a mile. But when I tried it, a lot of people discouraged me saying it was very difficult.
522
I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.
523
My past is just that, my past. I try to not think about it and only keep moving forward.
524
For fast-acting relief try slowing down.
525
I think it’s impossible to maintain a good, strong, muscular physique without taking some supplements. Between the protein shakes and the multivitamins that I take, I use C4, the pre-workout mix. I try to keep it as basic as I can, but I think I would shrink and disappear if I stopped taking protein shakes.
Joseph Gatt
526
When we try to pick out anything by itself, we find it hitched to everything else in the universe.
527
I try not to drink too much because when I’m drunk, I bite.
528
Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine! Softball is amazing that way as a sport. Everyone on the field has a slightly different ability that makes them perfect for their position.
529
I am the common man. I’m polite, I love my family and I play by the rules. And sometimes I get pushed around. That’s my lifestyle, and that’s what I try to bring to characters.
Eugene Levy
530
I’m not cynical or bitter in any way. Life’s too short; you get ripped off, but if you hold a grudge, it’s going to affect you. You take it on the chin, you learn, you try not to make the same mistakes.
Tony Fernandes
531
I always say just stay positive. If you ever get down on yourself, try to find something that takes away that negative. Always find that positive area.
532
God help anyone who disobeys my recycling system. I have all the separated bins. I’m very adamant about it because I try to be a good citizen of the world, I really do. I even use eco-friendly cleaning products, but sometimes you just have to break open the disinfectant. Some jobs require it.
533
The most important thing is to try and inspire people so that they can be great in whatever they want to do.
534
I don’t want to advise anyone to do anything, apart from try and stay alive. That’s my advice – don’t die.
535
Being Mormon is a big part of who I am, and I try very hard to live the right way, but I don’t know that I’m an example. I hate to say, ‘Yes, look at me. I’m a good example of being Mormon.’ I want to be the best person I can be, so in that aspect, maybe I’m a good example.
