It’s easy to get sidetracked with technology, and that is the danger, but ultimately you have to see what works with the music and what doesn’t. In a lot of cases, less is more. In most cases, less is more.
My works are Chinese literature, which is part of world literature. They show the life of Chinese people as well as the country’s unique culture and folk customs.
I use the petroleum jelly on my lips because they get very dry and it’s truly the only thing that works.
As for Colt 45, I am very proud of my endorsement of the product, and it still ‘Works every time.’
To work in architecture you are so much involved with society, with politics, with bureaucrats. It’s a very complicated process to do large projects. You start to see the society, how it functions, how it works. Then you have a lot of criticism about how it works.
The worst way of flying, I think, is standby. It never works. That’s why they call it standby. You end up standing there going, ‘Bye!’

What’s different about the Gospel of Thomas is that, instead of focusing entirely on who Jesus is and the wonderful works of Jesus, it focuses on how you and I can find the kingdom of God, or life in the presence of God.
When you have a son in football like Anton, it will always be deemed as if he got the prop up and given the contract, no matter how hard he works. So much so that when he was offered a deal at Chelsea, I advised him not to take a professional contract.
Sometimes you just stumble into something that works, and here I am a quarter of a century later.
I learned how music works dealing with Jermaine Dupri, and I learned how image works dealing with Puff Daddy.
The work of healing is not my work, but by faith, healing is done. The work of deliverance, great and mighty deliverance, is not my work but is my faith in Him. It is not the works of righteousness which I have done, but according to His grace. I am a product of His grace.
What business has science and capitalism got, bringing all these new inventions into the works, before society has produced a generation educated up to using them!
I believed – and believe – that capitalism works best for a freedom-loving society, that it brings more prosperity to more people than any other social-economic system, but that somehow we have to take care of people.
Politics itself is so unsexy, isn’t it? But when the politics in creative works are really explored – not used as a vehicle – the results can be really interesting.
Almost nothing works the first time it’s attempted. Just because what you’re doing does not seem to be working, doesn’t mean it won’t work. It just means that it might not work the way you’re doing it.
I wouldn’t want to be ideological about it but I think of it as being the best way to approach this kind of playing. I don’t think it works in other music, other kinds of playing.
I have just one fiddle. It works, and that’s it. It has been an old friend.
Love works a different way in different minds, the fool it enlightens and the wise it blinds.
What I respect as far as in myself and in others is the spirit of just doing it. For better or worse, it may work and it may not, but I’m going to go for it. Ultimately I probably prefer to be respected for that than whether it works out or not, either winning or losing.
People appreciate a good product, a stable system. They want to communicate easily and use a product that just works.
Without the meditative background that is criticism, works become isolated gestures, historical accidents, soon forgotten.
While the soul is in mortal sin, nothing can profit it; none of its good works merit an eternal reward, since they do not proceed from God as their first principle, and by Him alone is our virtue real virtue.
If cattle and horses, or lions, had hands, or were able to draw with their feet and produce the works which men do, horses would draw the forms of gods like horses, and cattle like cattle, and they would make the gods’ bodies the same shape as their own.
Despite the belief of many career bureaucrats that elected political leadership works for them, our system is built on the idea that the permanent bureaucracy, such as it exists, works for the elected leadership, which in turn works for and represents the American public.
My brother works at Weetabix in Kettering. That was taken over, there were redundancies. My other brother is a builder who has lost jobs, lost work. Football is not immune from that, it just happens to be in more of a spotlight.
Black glutinous rice works in both savoury and sweet dishes. It’s a popular pudding rice in south-east Asia, where you’ll often come across it cooked with water, coconut milk and a pandan leaf.
I feel my advantage of coming from a film family is – having seen fame up close, having seen the industry so close and how it works, I was not enamored by fame.
The economy works best when better ideas win out over worse ideas, harder work wins out over less work, when it’s a fair fight in the marketplace.
I do what I do merrily out of curiosity because I want to know how the brain works. That will get me up early in the morning and keep me going all day long.
All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
My ambition was always to bag a lead role in a film, and hence, I refrained from doing any ads, TV serials, music videos, as I felt that a fresh face always works much better. It was a gamble, and I took that gamble telling myself that I will give it my all to bag a lead role.
Eitan Hersh wrote a book in 2015 called ‘Hacking the Electorate.’ It’s pretty much the best book I’ve seen on the use of data science in U.S. elections and what good evidence shows works and does not work.
Man blindly works the will of fate.
This is absolutely the true answer, no word of a lie, 100% guaranteed: Q: What’s the best way to turn my idea into a story? A: Whatever works for you.
Monogamy is like a 40-watt bulb. It works, but it’s not enough.
When you have a deadline, or when you know that your equipment is about to go up in a rocket and you won’t have another chance to fix it, your mind works in a way that it otherwise never would.
If you are realistic about how our present society works, the economic clout – and a lot of the political clout, frankly – is in the business sector. And it’s the locus of innovation.
As man sows, so shall he reap. In works of fiction, such men are sometimes converted. More often, in real life, they do not change their natures until they are converted into dust.
Peace through strength works; but the flip side is war invited by weakness.
Word of mouth works now, much more than ever. @-reply every single person.

The Artist is he who detects and applies the law from observation of the works of Genius, whether of man or Nature. The Artisan is he who merely applies the rules which others have detected.
In comparing various authors with one another, I have discovered that some of the gravest and latest writers have transcribed, word for word, from former works, without making acknowledgment.
That’s the way this business works: if your movies do well at the box office, you will be offered more movies. It doesn’t matter if you’re a nice guy or you’re a prick. If your movies do well, there’s a job waiting for you in Hollywood. It’s not any more complicated than that.
Motherhood is an amazing feeling, and if you get to relive those special moments while working, it works as an icing on the cake. Kids have always been close to my heart, and working with them is a pleasure for me.
What works with your skin and eyes? Use that to zero in on your wardrobe.
Capitalism works better from every perspective when the economic decision makers are forced to share power with those who will be affected by those decisions.
In theatre, previews are the first draft of a show. I strongly believe that. The only way we can truly tell whether that draft works is by having an audience present.
You get the software you pay for. In every sense. To the nth degree. That’s the way the world works.
I’m an angry person, angrier than most people would imagine, I get flashes of anger. What works for me is working out when it’s useful to use that anger.
You can’t stay the same. If you’re a musician and a singer, you have to change, that’s the way it works.

The way of the Creative works through change and transformation, so that each thing receives its true nature and destiny and comes into permanent accord with the Great Harmony: this is what furthers and what perseveres.
