I don’t think it makes sense to set high goals about how my ideal woman should be. It is like calling for trouble. That would make one close-minded and not open to meeting different kinds of people.
Braising eggs in a flavoursome, aromatic sauce is all the rage. It is warming and comforting, ideal for the morning when you are not normally up for a great culinary challenge.
While today’s fraternities are hardly the literary- and debate-inspired groups of yore, their core mission – or, at the least, their ideal core mission and the one touted loudly in their public chapter and promotional materials – remains largely unchanged.
My ideal registration system would be an opt-out one, where every single person is registered once they turn 18. In Australia, I’m told, everyone is registered to vote and you pay a fine if you don’t vote.
As anchorman of the CBS Evening News, I signed off my nightly broadcasts for nearly two decades with a simple statement: ‘And that’s the way it is.’ To me, that encapsulates the newsman’s highest ideal: to report the facts as he sees them, without regard for the consequences or controversy that may ensue.
My ideal role would be anything that allows me to play anyone the public is familiar with and to be able to show them that, but in a new light.
Joining the Bipartisan Policy Center is a natural extension of my efforts to achieve results throughout my tenure in Congress, and it provides an ideal means for developing strategies that can garner the broad support necessary to achieve real solutions to the challenges confronting our nation.
Work definitely comes first. I expect the same of my ideal other half too.
The effort to create a work of art that is true and potentially lasting, that is the very best work of art you can create at that point in your life – a book that may only reach or move a few people but will seem to those people somehow transformative. That’s the ideal; that’s always the motivation.
If you want ideal health, you need to overcompensate and eat an excellent diet.
No fashion has ever been created expressly for the lean purse or for the fat woman: the dressmaker’s ideal is the thin millionaires.
If I can finish a cartoon in 20 minutes, then that’s the ideal editorial cartoon – it’s to the point.
If you look at a map, you see that Hawaii is in the middle of nowhere. It’s 17 hours of straight flying from London. It’s very far away, and sometimes you feel as if you’re on another planet. But I like that. Also, that’s ideal for writing.
Man falls from the pursuit of the ideal of plan living and high thinking the moment he wants to multiply his daily wants. Man’s happiness really lies in contentment.
I write in all sorts of places; it’s a legacy of my time as a journalist, where I could turn out copy in a hotel corridor. But I have a little office that I rent in my local town, and that’s my ideal place.

Whoever has witnessed another’s ideal becomes his inexorable judge and as it were his evil conscience.
Virginity is the ideal of those who want to deflower.
It’s alright to make an actor sing if the director already has an ideal sequence in his film. But I am totally against bringing in actors to sing in every film without any context and just for marketing purposes.
With humor, it’s so subjective that trying to think of what the ideal reader would think would drive you crazy.
Feminists, I hasten to add, are not all bad. In fact, they are an ideal bellwether, an invaluable aid in helping me form opinions on issues that I don’t have time to keep up with. If the feminists are for it, I’m against it; if the feminists are against it, I’m for it.
New York is flat – it’s ideal for bicycling.
In an ideal world, ‘Doctor Who’ makes the whole nation eight years old, with that excitement and engagement and wide-eyedness.
I don’t mean to sound like a Pollyanna, but for me, New York is the ideal because of the diversity here. ‘Billy on the Street’ is really informed by that.
I’m obsessed with not chucking away food. I’m lucky enough to have a gardener, so we grow sweetcorn, tomatoes, beetroots, cabbages, pumpkins, lettuce. I’m trying to get into blanching it and freezing so I don’t have to buy veg over the winter, but then you need loads of freezers, and that’s not ideal.
My ideal citizen is the self-employed, homeschooling, IRA-owning guy with a concealed-carry permit.
In an ideal world, I’d bounce between big projects and no-budget TV dramas with fantastic scripts.
Freedom is the one value conservatives place above all others, yet time and again, their ideal of freedom ignores the growing imbalance of power in our society that’s eroding the freedoms of most people.
The man who never makes a mistake always takes orders from one who does. No man or woman who tries to pursue an ideal in his or her own way is without enemies.
Parks are idealizations of nature, but nature in fact is not a condition of the ideal.
The joy of life consists in the exercise of one’s energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal.
Even if we were able to agree on an ideal set of immigration laws, enforcing such laws in the face of hundreds of thousands of cases is impossible in practice.
Public schooling fosters our common identity as Americans sharing a land of diversity. It promotes the American ideal of opportunity for all, not just some. It cultivates the civic values of respecting individuals as well as collective responsibility.
One of the very hallmarks of our nation is the ideal of E Pluribus Unum. It is a concept that richly flows from the highest ideals of our nation.
Good friends, good books and a sleepy conscience: this is the ideal life.
Painting is the representation of visible forms. The essence of realism is its negation of the ideal.
I think fiction lends itself to messiness rather than the ideal, and plays well with the ironies surrounding what happens versus what should happen.
The text loses its virginity simply by being staged: it’s no longer the abstract ideal version; it’s an event.
Creation destroys as it goes, throws down one tree for the rise of another. But ideal mankind would abolish death, multiply itself million upon million, rear up city upon city, save every parasite alive, until the accumulation of mere existence is swollen to a horror.
The vision that you glorify in your mind, the ideal that you enthrone in your heart – this you will build your life by, and this you will become.
In the ideal world, if I was perfect, I’d be able to beat every teammate that I have, in every race.
I think almost every woman artist I’ve ever met has this ideal of being in a partnership working situation with a man, that men don’t seem to share. They seem to want this ideal thing, that we’ll always be together and work together.
America was established not to create wealth but to realize a vision, to realize an ideal – to discover and maintain liberty among men.
The ideal vacuum cleaner would be one you never see. It needs to not just be a cool gadget, but a product that cleans your floor correctly. I can imagine people having a cupboard full of robots that only come out when you need them to fulfil a specific purpose.
The ideal beauty is a fugitive which is never found.
My goal is just to get healthy as far as what my ideal weight has to be for my height.
I think the age of 27 to 28 is ideal for the Salvadoran player to play qualifiers. That’s why we’ve brought players who are between 23 and 24. I think in three years, they’ll be well-armed to play qualifiers.
The biological task of science is to provide the fully developed human individual with as perfect a means of orientating himself as possible. No other scientific ideal can be realised, and any other must be meaningless.
Like other important immigrant communities, the Jewish experience in the United States represents the ideal of freedom and the promise and opportunity of America.
My perfect first date? Maybe a concert or a football game. That would be my ideal first date, but would the girl like it? I don’t know.
What I hope in my ideal world is that with each project, I’ll either get to work with a really great script that would force me to grow, or work with a really great actor who will make me better.
While we ourselves are the living graves of murdered animals, how can we expect any ideal living conditions on this earth?
All men are homosexual, some turn straight. It must be very odd to be a straight man because your sexuality is hopelessly defensive. It’s like an ideal of racial purity.
The last years of fading communism provided an ideal environment for Poland’s Catholic Church, which acted as an umbrella for dissenters of all sorts.
My ideal night would probably be a dope outfit, people that I love around me. Go to get some dinner, have some amazing food. Maybe sushi or Italian: I love both.
It can be easy and tempting, especially during a presidential campaign, to listen only to opinions that mirror and fortify one’s own. That’s not ideal, because it eliminates learning and makes it impossible for people to understand what they dismiss as ‘the other side.’
