There are two kinds of egotists: Those who admit it, and the rest of us.
I’m not the All-Star point guard that everybody’s dreaming about right now. I’m not that. I wish I was, but I’m a work in progress and I’m not scared to admit that. But what I am is a good citizen and a guy who’s not scared to put his neck on the line for his community or for his state. And I’m always going to do that.
It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.
We need religion as a guide. We need it because we are imperfect. Our government needs the church, because only those humble enough to admit they are sinners can bring to democracy the tolerance it requires in order to survive.
Even as I stand here and admit that we have made mistakes I still believe that as the people of America sit in judgment on each party, they will recognize that our mistakes were mistakes of the heart. They’ll recognize that.

One of life’s most painful moments comes when we must admit that we didn’t do our homework, that we are not prepared.

Definition of a Statistician: A man who believes figures don’t lie, but admits than under analysis some of them won’t stand up either.
Everybody now admits that apartheid was wrong, and all I did was tell the people who wanted to know where I come from how we lived in South Africa. I just told the world the truth. And if my truth then becomes political, I can’t do anything about that.
Although they might not admit it, I think girls are very aware of the impact that they’re having. But they never feel it themselves, and it’s impossible to explain. It’s like trying to tell a blind person what yellow is.
I must admit, maybe I am a piece of history after all.
I mostly get takeout, I have to admit – I don’t know if that’s something to be ashamed of. I’m not much of a cook.

I have ADHD. I’ll admit it.
But at any rate, the point is that God is what nobody admits to being, and everybody really is.
It’s terrible, I know, but I will admit I was a really lazy kid. It was Bronte who would wake me up in the morning, go to training early, and take in some tips from the older training group.

Some desire is necessary to keep life in motion, and he whose real wants are supplied must admit those of fancy.
Our children, manipulated to become exemplary consumers, increasingly admit they do not feel ‘in control’ of their own Internet use.

The chief qualification of a mass leader has become unending infallibility; he can never admit an error.
Some of these little girls are afraid to admit they are getting older. I am not afraid. You can’t put your finger in the sun and stop time.
With roasting, you’ve really got to bring your A-game. I hate to admit it, but I probably think and obsess more about the roasts than my own series. Because there’s so much attention focused on the roasts. It’s like the ‘Super Bowl’ of comedy. Everybody is going to talk about it. Forever.
We physicists don’t like to admit it, but some of us are closet science fiction fans. We hate to admit it because it sounds undignified. But when we were children, that’s when we got interested in science, for a lot of us.
There is a strange reluctance on the part of most people to admit they enjoy life.
Our criminal justice system is fallible. We know it, even though we don’t like to admit it. It is fallible despite the best efforts of most within it to do justice. And this fallibility is, at the end of the day, the most compelling, persuasive, and winning argument against a death penalty.

Mind you, I’ve always been a very off-message type of fat broad; one who gladly admits she reached the size she is now solely through lack of discipline and love of pleasure, and who rather despises people (except those with proven medical conditions) who pretend that it is generally otherwise.
At Brit + Co , we’re always on the hunt for motivated, smart, and creative folks. And I must admit, we have received some pretty unique resumes.

Mike Huckabee and indeed many of the Christian conservatives in the U.S. have far more in common with the Muslim Brotherhood than they’d like to admit, in that all of them very much want to see a role of religion in society.
It’s been taboo for so long to admit you had a mental health problem.
As much as I value an union of all the states, I would not admit the southern states into the union, unless they agreed to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness and not strength to the union.
