God tries you in certain, certain ways. Some people are rich, and they believe in God. They lose the money, things get hard, they get weak and quit going to church. Quit serving God like they did.
Ryan Murphy, he basically tries to find something that’s a pulse, a pressure point in our culture, and he grabs it, and he squeezes it. I think ‘Freak Show’ has a lot to do with the entertainment industry and the way we entertain ourselves: the objectification of people and the lengths we’ll go for our own amusement.
An educated man is thoroughly inoculated against humbug, thinks for himself and tries to give his thoughts, in speech or on paper, some style.
Who is there that ever receives a gift and tries to make bargains about it? Let us, then, return thanks for what He has bestowed on us. Who can tell whether, if we had had a larger share of ability or stronger health, we should not have possessed them to our destruction.
I don’t think anybody really super-consciously tries to develop a style to play.
Any idealist who tries to join the Peace Corps must realize he is not going to change the world overnight.
Scarlett Johansson has a smile she tries to suppress in every movie she makes. She’s been trying to keep a straight face since she appeared with Bill Murray 11 years ago in her breakthrough, ‘Lost in Translation.’
Hip-hop reflects the truth, and the problem is that hip-hop exposes a lot of the negative truth that society tries to conceal. It’s a platform where we could offer information, but it’s also an escape.
I am very sweet generally, but if someone tries to be over-smart by speaking to me in fancy English, then I go: ‘who are you?’ It isn’t right.
One of the things I love about Fox News is that it looks at something and tries to figure out how it can be useful in the journey and bring everybody else along and lead the way.
I will not stand idly when anyone gets in the way of the national interest and tries to block the national vision. From where I sit, I can tell you, a president is always as strong as she wants to be.
The Conservative Party tries to avoid important but controversial issues of concern to Conservatives and Canadians in general. It is afraid to articulate any coherent philosophy to support its positions.
I’ve always been on the side of science that tries to help man. I play an active part with the foundations I’m involved in. Science gives hope.
Effective altruism is a philosophy and social movement which tries to work out the most effective ways to improve the world. Effective altruists – conform to old-school utilitarian principles – consider all causes and actions, and then act in the way that they believe brings about the greatest positive impact.
I don’t like to give predictions but I am the type of fighter who tries to stop his man every time, and that’s why I’m such a fan favourite. People know I do the business.
Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position.
Let’s face it: Engineering companies in general have more men than women. Google has tried really hard to recruit women. On the other hand, we have a standard. Google tries to recruit the best engineers.
Speaking is the one trait in which woman is superior to man. Consider what happens when a couple argues. The man tries to talk to the woman. The stupid fool – he can never win.
Anyone who tries to make a distinction between education and entertainment doesn’t know the first thing about either.
I think of myself as a producer who tries to bring the best out of everyone, whether that be an artist, songwriter or a publicist.
Even as the whole world tries to hang on to its job, there is also this weird parallel sense – almost a covert longing – that the old corrupt structures on which that job depends needs to be, ought to be, swept away.
Even if you’re an optimist, there’s some part of you that just tries to toughen up and be pragmatic and go, ‘This isn’t gonna happen. This isn’t gonna happen.’ I really felt that way through the process of ‘Korra’ because I knew ‘Avatar,’ and I knew how wonderful it was, and I was so terrified.
A person who learns to juggle six balls will be more skilled than the person who never tries to juggle more than three.
During the whole ‘Jeopardy’ experience, I felt like I was living a bit of a double life, I would be secretly flying out to L.A. to tape new shows, hoping that none of my coworkers would notice the absence and figure out what was going on. ‘Jeopardy’ tries very hard to keep their secrets.
I turned pro and won Rookie of the Year on the South African Tour and then it took me two tries at the qualifying school on the European Tour and to get my card and the rest is history.
It’s art that pushes against psychological and social expectations, that tries to transform decay into something generative, that is replicative in a baroque way, that isn’t about progress, and wants to – as Walt Whitman put it – ‘contain multitudes.’
If the U.S. government tries to restrict or clamp down, that just means there will be many more bitcoin businesses in Hong Kong and Singapore, and all those Americans will miss out on all the opportunities.
Astronauts cannot pick their nicknames and can only get their nicknames from other astronauts. Any astronaut who tries to give himself a cool nickname will regret it by getting just the opposite from his astronaut friends.
I just can’t take anyone who tries to justify a comment using foul language.
Wijnaldum always tries to do some jokes inside the dressing room. He’s always winding people up. He always tries to speak in Portuguese or Spanish with us and dancing.
You know what black hatred women feel toward me as soon as they see me, until I return inside my shell, they use every possible weapon. As soon as a generous man tries to help me out, a woman is here to hold his arm and prevent him from acting.
Anyone who tries to diss me in comparison to Queen, it just renders all their criticisms completely futile. That’s quite pleasurable.
Anyone who tries to keep track of what is happening in China is going to end up by wearing all the skin of his left ear from twirling around on it.
I redo the body of my poem like someone who tries to cure her own wound.
What kind of woman tries to fat-shame a heavily pregnant woman?
I think when someone who’s known for doing drama does a comedy but just tries to be funny, that’s a mistake.
One tries to be an observer as an actor and indeed as a director because the small things, the give-away things are what are really interesting to a performer.
The name of the game is ‘kill the quarterback.’ Every football team tries to knock the guy out of the game that’s handling the ball.
Michael Bisping just speaks to speak; he just talks to talk. He just tries to open his mouth so that something can be heard, but nothing’s going to come out.
I do not believe in political movements. I believe in personal movement, that movement of the soul when a man who looks at himself is so ashamed that he tries to make some sort of change – within himself, not on the outside.
In history, one gathers clues like a detective, tries to present an honest account of what most likely happened, and writes a narrative according to what we know and, where we aren’t absolutely sure, what might be most likely to have happened, within the generally accepted rules of evidence and sources.
For me, I think everybody with half a heart tries to do their best to do their part of good during the holiday season.
Our laws are very clear on a woman’s reproductive health care. I will not only enforce those laws as attorney general, I will take the appropriate action against anyone who tries to interfere with a woman’s right to choose her reproductive health care.
I really believe that anybody on the Left or the Right that tries to invoke the teachings of Jesus to say they should vote for this candidate or that candidate, I think they’re stretching Scripture.
My approach every game really tries to stay the same. I try not to make it about me. I try not to make it about my personal vendettas.
When government – in pursuit of good intentions – tries to rearrange the economy, legislate morality, or help special interests, the cost come in inefficiency, lack of motivation, and loss of freedom. Government should be a referee, not an active player.
It is unfortunate whenever someone tries to bring politics into sport.
I don’t know why everyone tries to be like everyone else or just tries to make it to the top when they should be themselves and do their own thing.
I never went out to make the music that people would like. I mean, I tried, because every teenager tries to do that. But in my heart, I’d always come from gigs where I played upbeat guitar covers and I’d start writing sad songs on the piano.
Writing is an incredibly creatively empowering experience for me. It is the place where nobody tries to control what I’m doing.
All… religions show the same disparity between belief and practice, and each is safe till it tries to exclude the rest.
A good teammate is someone willing to get outside of personal thoughts and emotions, a friend who tries to understand, appreciate, and encourage other members of the team.
