I keep my hands empty for the sake of what I have had in them.
We now should hope and pray for a peace process. We’ve had good negotiations with both sides. Those are going to continue; those are going to be a commitment by the president and something that we’re going to work hard on. And we all hope, for the sake of Israeli children and Palestinian children, that we do have peace.
I want my kids to see me as Dad, for God’s sake, not a television personality.
We will have bigger bureaucracies, bigger labor unions, and bigger state-run corporations. It will be harder to be an entrepreneur because of punitive taxes and regulations. The rewards of success will be expropriated for the sake of attaining greater income equality.
When I first came into the business, I had to, for the sake of being able to sell myself as an artist, always be happy and jovial and smiling. I was the happy nice girl, and I am the happy nice girl, but I have my moments, too.
Creativity and artistic endeavors have a mission that goes far beyond just making music for the sake of music.
If it is the mark of the artist to love art before everything, to renounce everything for its sake, to think all the sweet human things of life well lost if only he may attain something, do some good, great work – then I was never an artist.
I’ve never worked for the sake of working. There’s probably enough crap out there for me not to add to it.
Going public for the sake of going public is not really an optimal thing. You’re going public because as a company you believe it is the right thing to do and it will benefit the ability of the company to achieve its long-term objectives.
People will say that it’s some kind of evasion, but I would never want to have a kid for me. I’d want to have the child for the child’s sake, if that makes sense.
I was lucky to learn early in life that you need money for food and shelter, but there’s no ambition in having money in the bank for the sake of it!
Our public education system does a great job. I don’t think it’s broken. We aren’t interested in doing reform for reform’s sake. I believe in public education; it did a great job for me. It deserves our support and encouragement.
We never really tried to shock for shock’s sake on ‘Family Guy’. If something was horribly offensive and shocking, we would put it in if it was also hysterically funny.

I don’t want to star in films for the sake of acting.

Not just art for art’s sake, but I want to have films out there that will provoke authentic, holistic conversations about the human condition. And not provide the easy answers, but put it out there.

Good breeding is the result of good sense, some good nature, and a little self-denial for the sake of others.
I think people are sick of trends changing every six months – not because we’re tired of them, but just for the sake of change. There is so much junk in the world: junk TV, junk movies, all those junk magazines with the same people on the cover.
All the time I’m trying to evolve, I’m trying to do different things, bring new flavours to people, not just put my name on the something for the sake of it.
I took home the pattapatti underwear that I wore in ‘Paruthiveeran’ for nostalgia’s sake.
There are only individual people, different individual people, with their own individual lives. Using one of these people for the benefit of others uses him and benefits the others. Nothing more. What happens is that something is done to him for the sake of others. Talk of an overall social good covers this up.
We do not evaluate the result but the starting point of the creative process. Precisely, this shows whether the form was discovered by starting from life, or for its own sake. That is why I consider the creative process so essential. Life for us is the decisive factor.
It’s horrible to think that a small cadre of people would manipulate that information. I mean, for God’s sake, we’ve admitted that we were experimenting on our veterans with mustard gas. So there is no security question. It can’t possibly be the reason.
Israel, for me, represents so much more than a nation. It’s a very idealized example for the world. It’s not just a nation that needs to be strong, secure, and safe. For me, for the sake of humanity, Israel needs to be a light that is an example to all nations.
People say I pay too much attention to the look of a movie but for God’s sake, I’m not producing a Radio 4 Play for Today, I’m making a movie that people are going to look at.
Films are my life; I don’t think there is anything that I would not do for the sake of the movie.
I’m Gordon Ramsay, for goodness sake: people know I’m volatile.
I don’t think a living being should suffer for the sake of fashion, period. End of story. You don’t have to kill an animal just because you want to be hot and fly. And I really stand by that.
I think what’s always important is not to be contrarian for its own sake but to really get at the truth.
The idea of being in control for the sake of control is not really important to me. If everyone is sharp and doing what they’re doing well, you don’t really need to be in control all the time.
I will not allow my experience to scare off other young women or girls from running for office. For the sake of all of us we cannot let that happen.
That’s not to say Eddie’s never done anything malicious. But he never grabbed power for power’s sake. His position was gained only because he has that energy, and that’s naturally where he ended up.
Let my name stand among those who are willing to bear ridicule and reproach for the truth’s sake, and so earn some right to rejoice when the victory is won.
There’s a lot of comedy in Intermission but it’s got this depth. It’s not comedy for comedy’s sake – it’s informed by something else. I like stuff like that.
I think you’re going to see an interest in space tourism, space travel for the sake of travel.
My strength as a singer is my versatility. I find it really frustrating when I’m only expected to show off. The music industry is awash with female acrobats. What happens to the song, and treating it for its sake and not as an ego example?
You may take great comfort from the fact that suffering inwardly for the sake of truth proves abundantly that one loves it and marks one out as being of the elect.

We are actors. We can adapt to any different look for the sake of the story and the character.
What is more important than your son? Still, we send our sons to fight at the borders of the nation. Similarly, for the sake of development of our country, we have to give away our land. Not an inch of land that the government will acquire will go into the hands of industrialists.
I travel not to go anywhere, but to go. I travel for travel’s sake. The great affair is to move.
I was watching Monster’s Ball, which is a fabulous movie. It’s just a little gem: beautifully shot, and shot in a way I never would have done. It made me feel very old, really, because it wasn’t eccentric for its own sake, it was just very original.
I mean sex can be funny for heaven’s sake.
I like to do things that are shocking or challenging for the sake of comedy.
I’m the type of person who doesn’t do television just for the sake of it.
I must assert in the most unqualified way that it is primarily and mainly for the sake of saving the soul that I seek the salvation of the body.

The Premier League is really strong but I’m not a player who likes new challenges just for the sake of it.
God chose us to live both in body and in soul, but the body functions for the sake of the soul more than the soul functions for the body.
I am in the position where I don’t have to work for the sake of working, so I’m very lucky, in a sense. So, I can always sit back and wait for a project that I respond to, that I want to do.
We have captured a luxury and richness with our fur-free fur, which is proof to the fashion industry that killing animals for the sake of fashion is unnecessary.
I was at home, pregnant, and everybody was telling me, ‘You’re on a roll, don’t have another baby, wait a while.’ Looking back, I realize my career was peaking when I was having babies, for God’s sake!
If I like a script, I will definitely pick films of different genres, but I won’t do something just for the sake of it.
I don’t have power or money and one-sided media support or the inclination to stoop to any level for the sake of power.
