Famous Quotes & Sayings

Charles Spurgeon

Little learning and much pride come of hasty reading.

Dennis Prager

All of creation, in the biblical view, was to ultimately prepare the way for the creation of man. But one does not need the Bible alone to hold this view. A purely scientific reading of the universe is in keeping with this view. Everything - every natural and physical law - is exquisitely tuned to produce life, and ultimately man, on earth.

Dennis Haysbert

I knew that they were going to be reading actors for Manute, and I wanted to give it a shot. I wanted a shot to do it, and they embraced that and said, "All right, come on in. Let's see what you've got." So, I went in, and the rest is history. It felt good when I went into the office, and it just worked.

Deborah Smith

I suspected learning a language would be both useful and enjoyable (I love memorising lists of things), and would get rid of the embarrassment of being monolingual at 21. I'd been obsessed with reading for as long as I could remember, the only thing I'd ever thought I might want to be was a writer, but I was much better at crafting sentences than at stringing plots together.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer

We must be ready to allow ourselves to be interrupted by God, who will thwart our plans and frustrate our ways time and again, even daily, by sending people across our path with their demands and requests. We can, then, pass them by, preoccupied with our important daily tasks, just as the priest-perhaps reading the Bible-passed by the man who had fallen among robbers. When we do that, we pass by the visible sign of the Cross raised in our lives to show us that God’s way, and not our own, is what counts.

Elbert Hubbard

I do not read a book; I hold a conversation with the author.

Eleanor Roosevelt

the greatest luxury I know is sitting up reading in bed.

Elizabeth Drew

The test of literature is, I suppose, whether we ourselves live more intensely for the reading of it.

Elizabeth Bibesco

You don't have to signal a social conscience by looking like a frump. Lace knickers won't hasten the holocaust, you can ban the bomb in a feather boa just as well as without, and a mild interest in the length of hemlines doesn't necessarily disqualify you from reading Das Kapital and agreeing with every word.

Sylvester Croom

Let me tell you something. That first game, they're going to be like a deer (in headlights), no matter what you do or how you calm them down. I remember the same way myself when I played. You can talk about it all you want to, but when you run out of that gate and that crowd starts yelling, it ain't high school any more, It's a whole different deal.

Rudi Giuliani

Make yourself calmer than you feel, force yourself to pretend you're calm and you'll be able to figure out how to get out of there if you remain calm. So I kept reminding myself of that. I was in charge, I was the person they were looking to and if I lost it they all would. I would have to say to myself, 'You've got to remain calm, you've got to stay focused.'

Tracy Sutton

Magazine did a great job. For a number four seed, that was a pretty good team. I think truthfully our kids come out a little tight and trying a little too hard instead of playing and letting it happen. Once we calmed down and relaxed we started playing a little bit.

Peter Moores

Loudon looked a really good player today, very simple, calm at the crease. It was a very, very good hundred.

Robert Massey

One thing that maybe helped us at halftime was the nice, calm conversation I had with the guys about how they were playing, ... We just challenged 'em.

Warren Lovely

Monetary tightening, a strong currency and tamer U.S. demand should spell slower economic growth ahead, calming inflation fears.

Robert Crippen

My heart rate went up to 130-plus. Not John. He was nice, calm and collected.

Richard Clarke

Now then. I'm tense. Tight. Any tips from readers on how to calm the nerves during the final session?

Tasha Smith

Now she looks likes she's relaxing. When she's having fun, I'm having fun. At the meets, if she looks like she's starting to get nervous, I'm like, ?Jami, calm down.' And she's like, ?Right.' She just gets it done.
