As you get older, things conk out. It’s a bit like a car. As long as it’s something the mechanics can fix, you can chug on for a few more thousand miles.

When you have your own people fleeing their homes it’s not because they found a job somewhere else… then you have something to fix in your country.
Too often, we think that, when we have a problem with our lives or our country, that the way to fix it is to take an eye for an eye. That doesn’t help anything or anyone.
Anyway, I believe you don’t fix the inside by putting something on the outside.
We have to change public perception of ex-convicts. Most Canadians don’t realize that when you come out of prison, you’re a complete pariah. You can’t get a car loan or money from a bank to start a business. So most end up back in prison within 24 months. It’s just so wrong. We need to fix this problem.
We cannot ‘fix’ the police without a revolution of values and radical change to the basic structure of our society.

We need to treat the planet as a system, and up until now, we’ve operated more as if the world were made of separate parts – this part is environment, this part is economy. But everything is connected. You can’t fix global warming with a Ph.D. in thermodynamics!

When you realise that money doesn’t actually make you happy, it’s a quick fix to have things you’ve always wanted, but then when you have it, you realise that’s not what actually makes you happy. It’s more about having a great marriage and happy children; that’s what life’s all about.
As you get older, you have to fix your insides, because your face naturally gets a little crabby-looking, so if you’re thinking mean thoughts, you look doubly mean when you get older. You can’t hide it.
Our huffing and puffing to impress God, our scrambling for brownie points, our thrashing about trying to fix ourselves while hiding our pettiness and wallowing in guilt are nauseating to God and are a flat out denial of the gospel of grace.
If you’re glued together right and honorable, you will succeed. Get in there and get rid of stupidities and avoid bad people. Try teaching that to your grandchildren. The best way is by example. Fix yourself.
In life,you’re going to have risk, so you have to say, ‘My attitude going forward is how to I fix the problem.’ And it’s not trying to cling onto the past. When I look around, most problems happen because people are trying to cling onto the past.
Donald Trump should be focused on how to fix the country, not an award show.
Perhaps all of us have come to rely too deeply on machinery and software to be our allies without wondering about the cost: the way technology doesn’t fix problems without creating new ones.
We live in a world where to admit anything negative about yourself is seen as a weakness, when it’s actually a strength. It’s not a weak move to say, ‘I need help.’ In the long run, it’s way better, because you have to fix it.
Everyone agrees that our immigration system is broken. Building a wall with Mexico isn’t going to fix it.
I believe with baking there is a certain nostalgic fix.
Movies don’t look hard, but figuring it out, getting the shape of it, getting everybody’s character right and having it be funny, make sense and be romantic, it’s creating a puzzle. Yes, having been a writer for so long, I have an awareness of when things are going awry, but it doesn’t mean I know how to fix them.
I feel like, even if something goes wrong, I have confidence in myself and my team that we’ll fix it.

A bankruptcy judge can fix your balance sheet, but he cannot fix your company.
There are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea.
I belong to the Boston Biographers Group – and get my monthly ‘fix’ from them. Where else can I sit down for two hours with people who understand the challenge I face, daily, as a life-chronicler?
Let’s go fix problems that I have and let’s do what I need to do to win championships.
It is clear I was never the Pretty Girl. I had my two front teeth knocked out when I was 10 and didn’t fix them until I was 19. I have a crooked smile and a nose that looks like it’s been broken 12 times but never has been. My nose was always red, so people called me Rudolph. My whole face is off-center.
There’s a fascinating school of thought that some women are relationship addicts. You get really strung out on a guy who’s not returning your enthusiasm and tell yourself you’re going to fix him and make him better, and of course it’s impossible.
The point to have a child is to introduce them to this planet that is in some ways dying and hopefully, this new generation, these new untainted brains, will be the people to fix some of these things that this generation can’t.
Congress needs to work in a bipartisan way to fix the Affordable Care Act, not repeal it.
Now, America is a land of second chances, and I gather you have room for the estimated 6 million of us who know we got it wrong in 2008 and who want to fix it.
It would be impossible to estimate how much time and energy we invest in trying to fix, change and deny our emotions – especially the ones that shake us at our very core, like hurt, jealousy, loneliness, shame, rage and grief.
I voted against the creation of ICE. However, changing who enforces bad policy now doesn’t fix that bad policy and it won’t bring families back together.
I’m glad if people can listen to some music and maybe fix some prejudices of their own, just by thinking.
Remember that input is as important as output. Take in something for inspiration, to relight the fire inside you, and ideas on how to fix whatever isn’t working in your writing will usually follow.
Broken! Busted! Everybody has something to repair. Before buying new, let Mighty Putty fix it for you.
I play over-35s soccer on the weekend to get my fix of running into people and crashing and bashing, and I still have that desire to win in the sport that I play. I don’t think that’ll ever lose me.
When I was a builder, I drove a blue van. It had a hole in the floor and I couldn’t afford to fix it. I put a concrete block over the hole.
Ever crack an egg into simmering water only to watch the white spread out and form wispy tentacles? It happened to me until I came across this game-changing fix: Break the egg into a sieve set over a bowl. The watery outer edge of the white will drain through, leaving the thicker white and yolk intact.
To me, if you don’t get something right, the biggest thing you need to do is recognize it and fix it.
One thing that makes art different from life is that in art things have a shape… it allows us to fix our emotions on events at the moment they occur, it permits a union of heart and mind and tongue and tear.
I was a fussy eater when I was young and a lot of the time my parents weren’t there because they were always working. So I’d just eat lollies and biscuits and chips. That’s kind of where I got the taste for the sweet fix.
I was born with a heart murmur. When I was 21, the stress of the career and traveling – the lack of sleep and just not eating right – had taken its toll.

Most of the provisions designed to fix what ails our health system don’t kick in until 2014, which, one wishes administration officials had noticed, is two years after he has to win an election.
As Congress focuses on comprehensive health care reform, one thing needs to be clear: We cannot fix health care if we do not address America’s nursing shortage.
In the early 19th to the early 20th century, people had a lot of things wrong with them. Doctors didn’t know how to fix them, and so they lived with them.
Our cultural industries are our biggest export, our biggest manufacturing base. Every pound spent on art education brings disproportionately large returns. It’s the biggest bang for our buck. If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. In fact, the more you put in, the greater the successes for the U.K. economy.
One of the advantages of moving quickly is if you do something wrong you can change it. What technologies tend to do is they tend to make a lot of mistakes… but then we go back and aggressively attack those mistakes – and fix them. And you usually recover pretty quickly.
