I remember that when I was learning to play football, kicking a ball for example, I used to do it 300-400 times a day at least. There were moments when I got tired but I needed to do it repeatedly because if I wanted it to become a part of me, this was the process I needed to go through.

I went into writing ‘The Young Elites’ with a great deal of fear – I’d been told repeatedly that a villain’s story would be far too dark for young readers to want and that no one would like my villainess, Adelina. I braced myself for epic failure.
I’ve repeatedly tried to curb my temper.
I want my songs to be enjoyed by those who travel in a town bus and they should be played repeatedly in a tea shop.
Grown-ups and children are not readily encouraged to unearth the power of words. Adults are repeatedly assured a picture is worth a thousand of them, while the playground response to almost any verbal taunt is ‘Sticks and stones may break my bones, but words will never hurt me.’ I don’t beg so much as command to differ.
I am now in the full maturity of my age and vigor of my mind. Persons of various descriptions have repeatedly solicited me to turn my mind to dramatical composition. It was, indeed, the first amusement of my thoughts in my school-boy cell.
Obama has been attacked repeatedly for not wearing a flag pin, with Republicans claiming that his patriotism is in question. It’s all a bit silly.
An incident that left an impression on me was the 1999 sub-junior national boxing championship held in Calcutta. I had trained extremely hard to get there but got kicked out in the first round itself. ‘If others can win, why can’t you?’ I repeatedly asked myself.
Repeatedly opening the oven – or worse, taking out the turkey to baste it – slows down the momentum of cooking.
While Congress repeatedly finds plenty of time to vote on resolutions of condemnation over border security, they’ve done virtually nothing to actually solve the problem.

I start looking for adjectives in news reporting, and if there are too many of them, if they’re all sort of repeatedly designed to influence my thinking in a certain way, I start getting concerned. I’m leery of people trying to paint a picture in a certain way.
Secretary Clinton was warned repeatedly about her duty to secure classified information and that her unsecure server did not meet that standard.
In physics we have developed models that are extremely accurate across vastly different scales from the sub-atomic to the visible universe. In politics we have bumbled along making the same sort of errors repeatedly.
To ascertain the Lord’s will, we ought to use scriptural means. Prayer, the word of God, and His Spirit should be united together. We should go to the Lord repeatedly in prayer, and ask Him to teach us by His Spirit through His word.
Members will hear me say repeatedly words are important; deeds are a reality.

I am called repeatedly and insidiously prime and sole minister.
What Clinton did with Lewinsky was despicable but was no threat to the nation. That he lied about it repeatedly and to the public is a reason for us to cease to trust him and for him to resign.
Trans people have been repeatedly told that we don’t have the right to live. And Black people have been told that by our slave masters and continue to be told that by society. We have, generationally, bled this kind of hatred.
We are reminded repeatedly, often by older men, that western civilization has died on the altar of social media.
Absurdity is what I like most in life, and there’s humor in struggling in ignorance. If you saw a man repeatedly running into a wall until he was a bloody pulp, after a while it would make you laugh because it becomes absurd.
If you acquiesce to one interview, there’s always another waiting in the wings. Also if you’re interviewed repeatedly, you just start repeating yourself. I don’t like to do that.

We all remember how, at the beginning of the sulphonamide era, it was repeatedly observed that fresh cases of gonorrhoea in men responded best to sulphonamide treatment when suppuration had already occurred for several days, and not at the first appearance of the disease.
There is a huge difference between failing and failure. Failing is trying something that you learn doesn’t work. Failure is throwing in the towel and giving up. True success comes from failing repeatedly and as quickly as possible, before your cash or your willpower runs out.
Science is the practice of failing repeatedly but learning as you go.
Beginning with the stimulus, Obama has repeatedly inserted the government into the free market for political reasons – and with disastrous results.
Clinton’s problem was that many Americans didn’t trust her because she was caught telling untruths – repeatedly – about her email system. She first told us it was simply a matter of convenience to use her unsecure, non-government email system. That wasn’t true.

One of the things you have to be able to do, as a comic strip artist, is to draw things repeatedly from a variety of angles, so you need references, and you find the best picture you can.
I like to joke that I probably hold the world record for rejection letters. Yes, the truth is that I was fed up of being rejected repeatedly, and self-publication was an act of defiance at traditional publishing. But life works in strange ways.
Guantanamo Bay can be and has been visited repeatedly by the International Red Cross and other human-rights groups for observation in an open, regular, and transparent manner. Detainees receive the same medical care as the guard force and are able to participate in their daily prayer sessions.
Marriage is distinctly and repeatedly excluded from heaven. Is this because it is thought likely to mar the general felicity?

For more than two centuries since winning our own freedom, we the people of the United States have repeatedly answered the call to lead the quest for freedom around the globe.

I have said repeatedly that in this country we track library books better than we do sex offenders.
My favorite word was a word James Lapine used repeatedly in ‘Sunday in the Park with George,’ which was the word ‘connect.’ All I want to do is connect.
As I’m studying magic, juggling is mentioned repeatedly as a great way to acquire dexterity and coordination. Now, I had long admired how fast and fluidly jugglers make objects fly. So that’s it. I’m 14; I’m becoming a juggler.
The ‘Rule of Three’ is simply getting the other guy to agree to the same thing three times in the same conversation, it’s really hard to repeatedly lie or fake conviction.
