thinking firsts moral
How many of us have been first attracted to reason, first learned to think, to draw conclusions, to extract a moral from the follies of life, by some dazzling aphorism from Rochefoucauld or La Bruyere.
thinking experience
Experience is something I always think I have until I get more of it.
thinking differences house
If you think that one individual can't make a difference in the world, consider what one cigar can do in a nine-room house.
feel-better men thinking
...the story of a man who saw three fellows laying bricks at a new building: He approached the first and asked, What are you doing? Clearly irritated, the first man responded, What the heck do you think I'm doing? I'm laying these darn bricks! He then walked over to the second bricklayer and asked the same question. The second fellow responded, Oh, I'm making a living. He approached the third bricklayer with the same question, What are you doing? The third looked up, smiled and said, I'm building a cathedral. At the end of the day, who feels better about how he's spent his last eight hours?
book thinking doe
The easiest books are generally the best; for, whatever author is obscure and difficult in his own language, certainly does not think clearly.
nice thinking feelings
I think second place is always the most difficult one. It's not a nice feeling.
thinking air support
I think I can say without fear of contradiction that we could generate sorties at an extremely high level and bring very, very effective air power to bear in support of our troops.

I don't think other people in the world would share the view there is mounting chaos.
exercise thinking blood
If all other risk factors are normal, and you exercise moderately, your risk of having high CRP is one in 2000, .. A person who is a little overweight, with blood fats and cholesterol a little elevated, maybe with a little bit of high blood pressure -- we didn't used to think that having several of these little risk factors were a big deal. But it is. These little risk factors add up in a way that is worse for you than one big risk factor.
moving thinking competition
I think the common elements first are that, basically, we are entering markets or in markets that are deregulating or have recently deregulated, and so they have become competitive, moving from monopoly franchise-type businesses to competitive, market-oriented businesses.
commitment thinking care
I don't care a damn for your loyal service when you think I am right; when I really want it most is when you think I am wrong.
thinking
Think before you think!
thinking band needs
What we need to envision the future, ... stop thinking about the present and saying, 'Let's put a Band-Aid here.
taken thinking data
I think the actions taken by the (rate-setting) Federal Open Market Committee have been the appropriate actions. And I assume we will continue to take the appropriate actions, depending on what is happening with the data and the dynamics of the economy
