The public must have confidence in our ability to control immigration – in terms of type and volume – from within the E.U.

In cartoons and in improv, anything can happen. You can

Megan Mullally
As Nelson Mandela has pointed out, boycott is not a principle, it is a tactic depending upon circumstances.

John Berger

Isabella Rossellini
My number one objective continues to be to defund or delay the implementation of Obamacare. But as long as any piece of this law is standing, it needs to apply to all Americans equally, and that includes members of Congress and our staff.
Michael McCaul
The Small Business 'common app' would function much lik

Kay Hagan

Sophie Ellis-Bextor

It’s a secret, but when I decided to apply to ‘Shonen Magazine,’ it was already past the deadline, so I had no choice but to go with ‘Shonen Jump.’ My motivation for becoming a cartoonist was… to put it bluntly, the ¥100,000 prize money.
Akira Toriyama
People forget that keeping a band together is hard; man, it’s really hard. All the cliches apply about living in each other’s pockets; of it being a relationship, a marriage, a family.
Dean Wareham
I’ll tell a young kid in a minute, ‘If you don’t know how to read, then what good is trying to be an MC?’ Like, you can MC, but if you’re not trying to be a better person, learn and apply that to your MCing, then how far do you think you’re really going to go?
Raekwon
You'd be surprised at how many times I'd hit the ball,

You’d be surprised at how many times I’d hit the ball, and the hair would go straight into my eyes. That’s why, even when I play indoors, I wear a visor, because it stops that, and I’ll apply a lot of gel and hairspray to keep it tight.
Ana Ivanovic
We apply our effort to be mindful, to be aware in this very moment, right here and now, and we bring a very wholehearted effort to it. This brings concentration. It is this power of concentration that we use to cut through the world of surface appearances to get to a much deeper reality.
Sharon Salzberg
One of the ways by which astrology tricks human brains is via the Barnum effect, which is the process by which individuals take general and vague statements that could apply to anyone and anywhere, and find personal meaning in them.
Gad Saad
I love to apply my foundation with BeautyBlenders – I just think it gives the most natural kind of glow, but I’ve learned from being on set that you should use a damp BeautyBlender but that you should dampen it with rosewater. It just kind of brings your skin to life a little bit more.
Lili Reinhart
Ordinary people seem not to realize that those who really apply themselves in the right way to philosophy are directly and of their own accord preparing themselves for dying and death.
Socrates
I’m happy to not know what I think about stuff; I’m happy to change my mind. But it’s relatively recently that I’ve been able to apply that to feelings. I used to like to know what I felt. I didn’t want those feelings to be complicated or muddled or clashing.

David Grinspoon
I wouldn’t apply myself at school. I was quite bright, but I didn’t do much with it, and I thought acting was dressing up and shouting for a living.
Michelle Gomez

Chiranjeevi
He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils; for time is the greatest innovator.

Under the dual sovereignty principle, the Fifth Amendment’s prohibition on double jeopardy – which prevents the government from trying someone twice for the same crime – doesn’t apply if the second trial is by a different ‘sovereign’ – in this case, the state.
Asha Rangappa
As a prisoner of conscience committed to peaceful transition to democracy, I urge Europe to apply economic sanctions against Ethiopia. What short-term pain may result will be compensated by long-term gain. A pledge to re-engage energetically with a democratic Ethiopia would act as a catalyst for reform.

Digital imaging allows both groups to rise above the limitations of mess and clutter and mechanics, and apply our talents to creating images limited only by our imaginations.
Buffy Sainte-Marie
As a make-up artist, you always want to be in a good light, whether you’re walking down the street or in a restaurant. It is a very key element to me; you can’t apply good make-up in a bad light.
Francois Nars
I come from film, where I only play a character for three months at a time, and then it’s done, so it’s important for me to be able to put on other hats and make sure that all of the tools in my toolbox that don’t apply to Olivia Pope are still in shape.
Kerry Washington
It’s strange that we create tech and then we apply it to machines, when we could apply it to ourselves. Cars can now detect if something is behind them, but we don’t have this ability. Why are we applying such a simple sense to a car when we could apply it to ourselves?
Neil Harbisson
Russia is a very different place than what we in the West are familiar with. We cannot apply our own values and judgments to the country. We need to have greater compassion and understanding and recognize that our similarities are greater than our differences.
Courtney Act
I actually find it’s more interesting to play in the niches and find ways to apply technology to relatively straightforward problems.
Dave McClure
You cannot make peace with terrorists. The normal dividing lines between war and peace do not apply.
Ulrich Beck
I live by ‘Go big or go home.’ That’s with everything. It’s like either commit and go for it or don’t do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That’s what I live by. That’s how I like it.
Paul Walker
Before the lipstick goes anywhere near the lips, I like to apply a tiny amount of foundation or concealer to create a really great base. This then makes it easier to guide the bullet of the lipstick along the lip outline.
Pat McGrath
The concept of commercialism in the fashion and art world is looked down upon. You know, just to think, ‘What amount of creativity does it take to make something that masses of people like?’ And, ‘How does creativity apply across the board?’
Kanye West
If we wish to discuss knowledge in the most highly developed contemporary society, we must answer the preliminary question of what methodological representation to apply to that society.
Jean-Francois Lyotard
Never let anyone define what you are capable of by using parameters that don’t apply to you.
Chuck Close
It’s all about hustling, whether it’s in Boston or the film industry. I’ve been hustling my entire life – acting my way into trouble and acting my way back out again. I’m just fortunate to have had the opportunity to apply it in a different direction.
Mark Wahlberg
I need help to ensure I grow old gracefully! So now I always apply moisturiser and foundation with an SPF, to protect my skin from the sun.

Tristan Harris
I was initially just fascinated by the Branch Davidians. This doesn’t really apply to Rachel Koresh because she was born into the church, and that was all she had ever known, but I was fascinated by the psychology of how people get to that place – a place like Mount Carmel and an FBI stand-off for 51 days.
Melissa Benoist
The writing life is essentially one of solitary confinement – if you can’t deal with this, you needn’t apply.
Will Self

Steve Forbes
Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism.

Vanity can apply to both insecurity and egotism.
Taylor Swift
And, of course, some SF is set close enough to here and now that Anglo and European do apply. Since many of the writers come from those backgrounds, so does much of the fiction.
Stanley Schmidt
The selfsame procedure which zoology, a branch of the natural sciences, applies to the study of animals, anthropology must apply to the study of man; and by doing so, it enrolls itself as a science in the field of nature.
Maria Montessori
Clearly, a large number of people who shouldn’t have firearms actually apply through the process and obtain firearms.
William Bratton
In reading the scriptures of truth, we often put wrong constructions upon them, and apply them improperly; and I apprehend it has often been the case in relation to this portion, particularly that part in relation to man’s seeking out many inventions.
Elias Hicks
The first requisite for success is the ability to apply your physical and mental energies to one problem incessantly without growing weary.
Charles Caleb Colton
I liked the challenge of designing and building things, figuring out how something works and how to make it better or apply it in a different way.
Grant Imahara

Jonathan Powell
Math makes sense when you apply it to projects.
Jessi Combs
Your law may be perfect, your knowledge of human affairs may be such as to enable you to apply it with wisdom and skill, and yet without individual acquaintance with men, their haunts and habits, the pursuit of the profession becomes difficult, slow, and expensive.
William Dunbar
We want to convey that the modern-day GOP looks like the conservative party that stands on principles. But we want to apply them to urban-suburban hip-hop settings. We need to uptick our image with everyone, including one-armed midgets.
Michael Steele
Life has no meaning unless one lives it with a will, at least to the limit of one’s will. Virtue, good, evil are nothing but words, unless one takes them apart in order to build something with them; they do not win their true meaning until one knows how to apply them.
Paul Gauguin
I’ve got research, I have my own life experience I can apply, and I have my imagination.
Chris Cooper
Justice for all does not apply when women use the Internet.
Brianna Wu
I have taught my students not to apply rules or mechanical ways of seeing.
Josef Albers
The damage caused by corruption is just as real in Angola and Azerbaijan as it is in Atlanta and Albuquerque, and it’s our obligation to advance the rule of law wherever our laws apply.
Sally Yates
If we investigate the vague feelings of the average man towards the arts, we find that he is timid and that he has developed a humble belief that art is something which has been invented centuries ago in countries like Greece or Italy and that all we can do about it is study it carefully and apply it.
Walter Gropius
The task of a judge is not to make the law – it is to apply the law.
Sonia Sotomayor
I have therefore concluded to apply for the privilege of becoming a Cadet at West Point.
George Stoneman
The early cyberpunk idea was that networked computers would let us do our work at home, as freelancers, and then transact directly with peers over networks. Digital technology would create tremendous slack, allow us to apply its asynchronous, decentralized qualities to our own work and lives.
Douglas Rushkoff
It is the duty of the Umpire to determine all questions submitted to him according to these laws, when they apply, and according to his best judgment when they do not apply.
Howard Staunton
I entreat students of letters and other scholars to obey their masters in things good, to imitate them, and diligently apply themselves to letters for the sake of God’s honour and their own salvation and that of other men.
Jan Hus
Leaving the E.U. with no trade deal is the worst possible option. It will condemn British exporters to the full range of tariffs and barriers that apply under WTO rules.
Barry Gardiner
Crime to many is not crime but simply a way of life. If laws are inconvenient, ignore them, they don’t apply to you.
Dick Francis
In government institutions and in teaching, you need to inspire confidence. To achieve credibility, you have to very clearly explain what you are doing and why. The same principles apply to businesses.
Janet Yellen
I have an intense personality, and a lot of the qualities that the Ultimate Warrior had still apply to my everyday life.
The Ultimate Warrior
It has become increasingly difficult for states or the federal government to apply the death penalty. But why even try? Nothing is accomplished, and while the chances of making a mistake are now diminished – DNA can prove guilt as well as innocence – life in prison is a worthy substitute.
Richard Cohen
What has always made IBM a fascinating and compelling place for me is the passion of the company, and its people, to apply technology and scientific thinking to major societal issues.
Ginni Rometty
I hydrate my legs by mixing a body oil with moisturiser and I apply it evenly all over my legs to seal in moisture. For a special occasion I might have a spray tan, which gives my skin a nice glow.
Emma Willis
I debated in high school! If you told things that weren’t true or just made things out of whole cloth, you were penalized. It’s too bad they don’t apply the same standards to presidential candidates as they do to high school students.
Mark Hamill
I never like to wear too much makeup, and sometimes the best makeup is when it’s not too perfect. I like to sometimes apply my makeup with my fingers.
Carine Roitfeld
You apply the skills you use to produce your own book t

You apply the skills you use to produce your own book to make an anthology. Shaping. Rhythm.
Robyn Davidson
It is a very real concern and my view is that everything changed on September 11th and the procedure, the policies that were in place prior to September 11th no longer should apply.
George Pataki
That’s the beauty of the acting world. You can play so many different characters who know and do so many things that you have no idea about as yourself. So I’m a big fan of workshops and classes and learning new things because you can always apply it. It’s your little supply bag of creativity. Keep filling it up.
Daniela Ruah
We do not just strive for a society in which every person has the opportunity to reach their full potential (all parties lay claim to that); we want to build a society in which whatever talents people have, they are rewarded with a comfortable standard of living when they apply them.
Chuka Umunna
To me it’s not about how much money you make or the car you drive, it’s about what kind of person you are and how much pride you take in what you do. I try and apply that same level of passion to every path I choose in life.
Bruce Buffer
I grew up on Laurel and Hardy. I’m aware from my own experience that comedy has got quite a fierce sell-by date, but that doesn’t seem to apply to them; they made films I can remember laughing at when I was five that I’d still happily watch today.
Frank Skinner
I like to think of ‘the studio’ as a laboratory where I can go in, learn tricks, apply, revise, and release. I’d figure I had about the same emotional attachment to my craft as a guy over at NASA does over… NASA stuff.
Deadmau5
Each kid has a different level of expertise and some of them are very raw and inexperienced and some are incredibly mature and experienced. So you just have to go with what they are rather than have some abstract technique that you’re going to try to apply to them.
David Cronenberg
Change is inevitable, change will always happen, but you have to apply direction to change, and that’s when it’s progress.
Doug Baldwin
I believe the assertion that every human life has an inherent and inalienable value will only be strengthened if we apply this principle to the morality of defending both convicted criminals and the lives of the unborn.
Blase J. Cupich
As I’ve met clinicians in my travels, time after time I’ve been inspired to hear why people went into medicine: to apply their way-above-average minds (and hearts) to work that’s beyond most people’s capacity, and perhaps save a few lives.
Dave deBronkart
I look at scripts, and sometimes I apply theory to them. For ‘Antiviral,’ for example, I was reading Laura Mulvey’s ‘Visual Pleasure and Narrative Cinema,’ and it was all about the psychological process by which we fetishize the female image. It’s all about scopophilia.
Sarah Gadon
Young mothers who apply for housing assistance in our nation’s capital literally could be grandmothers by the time their application is reviewed.
Matthew Desmond
It’ll seem convenient ’cause I am ambassador for the charity, but Look Good Feel Better launched a set of makeup brushes through Priceline, and I use the multi-tasking brush to apply my liquid foundation. It’s wonderful. As good as the Bobbi Brown Full Coverage Face brush, which I also use.
Zoe Foster Blake
I worry Mr. Trump believes he’s special just because he’s Mr. Trump and that the rules don’t apply to him and the people around him.
Brad Schneider
My main objective is to introduce students to dance and the other arts, not necessarily for them to pursue, but as a method of discipline. When they learn to apply themselves freely they can learn to enjoy themselves and apply that tool of discipline to other interests.
Paula Kelly
No matter what engineering field you’re in, you learn the same basic science and mathematics. And then maybe you learn a little bit about how to apply it.
Noam Chomsky
The thing is, even if you’re playing sort of a heightened character and playing inside sort of a heightened reality, you can still apply your own truths to those characters.
Johnny Depp
My public school teachers did a great job of saying, ‘Check this out. You’re qualified for this. You should explore these opportunities.’ They’re the ones who said, ‘You know, apply to Harvard. You might be a good fit here.’
Priscilla Chan
I knew that I wanted to apply for a job in the Air Force, that I couldn’t because it was a direct-combat, ground-combat role.
MJ Hegar
Though the dungeon, the scourge, and the executioner be absent, the guilty mind can apply the goad and scorch with blows.
Lucretius
The Dream Act as it’s been written originally is too broad, to be honest. It basically would apply to too many people.
Marco Rubio
When you are reading about a book, you focus on the main character, of course. When you have something in common with them and connect with them, you remember the lessons they learned, and then you can apply them to your life. So you can live the best life you can.
Marley Dias
Never ask yourself what you have learned… only ask yourself what are the circumstances which are different from last year. In that way, you can apply last year’s lessons.
Peter Brook
People always ask me, ‘What is it that you regret?’ And I say, ‘nothing, because I could not buy what I’ve learned.’ And I apply those things to my life I learn. And hopefully, hopefully it helps me to be a better human in the future and make better choices.
Katy Perry
If you’ve got good systemising skills you can apply them to systems you aren’t familiar with, and look for patterns.
Simon Baron-Cohen
I wouldn’t approach the issue of judging in the way the president does. Judges can’t rely on what’s in their heart. They don’t determine the law. Congress makes the law. The job of a judge is to apply the law.
Sonia Sotomayor
I was a graduate student in 1984 when President Ronald Reagan called for the construction of a new space station. I knew then that I wanted to apply for the astronaut program, and this was an exciting development.
Leroy Chiao
When I go out, I just put on a little mascara – Chanel is my favourite – and fragrance. I actually apply fragrance right out of the shower – I spray and walk through it so it’s not too overpowering.
Anna Ewers
There is a simple rule here, a rule of legislation, a rule of business, a rule of life: beyond a certain point, complexity is fraud. You can apply that rule to left-wing social programs, but you can also apply that rule to credit derivatives, hedge funds, all the rest of it.
P. J. O’Rourke
At Stanford, we teach ‘design thinking’ – that is, we put together small, interdisciplinary groups to figure out what the true needs are and then to apply the art of engineering to serve them.
Hasso Plattner
In criticizing an ideology, one cannot be racist, hatef

In criticizing an ideology, one cannot be racist, hateful, or bigoted. These descriptors apply to positions held against people and not ideologies.
Gad Saad
My successes already accomplished have mostly been taking existing science and getting people to apply it in their everyday lives.
Eliezer Yudkowsky
If the law doesn’t apply equally to everybody, then you don’t really have a system of law.
Matt Taibbi
During my first round of law school applications, I didn’t even apply to Yale, Harvard, or Stanford – the mystical ‘top three’ schools. I didn’t think I had a chance at those places. More important, I didn’t think it mattered; all lawyers get good jobs, I assumed.
J. D. Vance
There is no denying that entertainment industries are insular, but you can’t generalise that statement and apply it to everyone.
Mahesh Bhatt
I trust my makeup artist to apply dark lipstick, but I get nervous about reapplying it, so I’ll just use gloss instead. The last time I tried to reapply dark lipstick, I dropped it on my dress and it left a spot.
Jessica Biel
I’ve got mad energy for days. That’s what people can’t get their minds around. They say, ‘Oh, he’s going to crash.’ They try to apply all these common terms to a guy who is not common. I don’t fit into their little box.
Charlie Sheen
It is my earnest hope that all parties across the political spectrum will bear Hong Kong’s long-term interests in mind, apply their political wisdom, and seek a consensus through open and rational communication with people of different views.
Carrie Lam
Gone are the days when you could go to an orphanage or a centre and apply for adopting a child there. Everything is online now, and under one umbrella.
Mandira Bedi
Seeking can become stressful when you apply the same laws that you apply in the material world – hard work, exacting plans, driving ambition, and attachment to outcome.
Deepak Chopra
When we were presented with the opportunity to start this group, we were just like, ‘Why don’t we?’ The name stuck. You can also apply it to tons of different things. Why don’t we spread positivity? Why don’t we love each other?
Jonah Marais
I had a great drama teacher, and he sort of made out drama school as this incredibly difficult thing to get into: 6,000 people apply every year, and some of the schools only have 12 places. It’s a phenomenally difficult thing to get into. And that excited me – I wanted that challenge.
Jeremy Irvine
Wherever and whenever I sing, if there is only one spiritual on a program, people will talk about two things afterward, and one of them will be the spiritual. What I bring to this is the best of my classical training – not all of it. I apply what is appropriate.
Kathleen Battle
In the day, I wear mascara and tinted moisturiser – although I’ve learnt that if I’m getting my photograph taken, it’s better to apply more; otherwise, I look really, really tired.
Emilia Wickstead
If I apply myself to rap, I’m gonna be the best rapper alive. If I apply myself to comedy, I’m going to be the funniest guy alive.
Lil Dicky
You don’t need to buy expensive cosmetics; almost anything will do if you know how to apply it.
Dolly Parton
The effort to blur the lines between Guantanamo and Abu Ghraib reflects a deep misunderstanding about the different legal regimes that apply to Iraq and the war against al Qaeda.
John Yoo
Readers of novels often fall into the bad habit of being overly exacting about the characters’ moral flaws. They apply to these fictional beings standards that no one they know in real life could possibly meet.
Edmund White
Patents are like fertilizer. Applied wisely and sparingly, they can increase growth. But if you apply too many chemicals, or make patents too strong, then you can leach the land, making growth more difficult.
Alex Tabarrok
When I was a young boy, I would watch my mom apply her makeup, so one day, I took a lipstick she had and put it on my mouth, trying to imitate her. It ended up all over my face.
Manny MUA
Judges decide upon copyright law. They decide upon trademark law. They decide upon scientific issues. They decide upon very complex technical issues on a daily basis. So you must have confidence in the Supreme Court, that they will apply their mind and they will come out with a decision consistent with the Constitution.
Kapil Sibal
Many regulators are quick to apply existing compliance practices that treat tokens as a security, therefore elevating the barriers and costs of implementation for entrepreneurs.
William Mougayar
It was March 1974, I was in my MTech final year when I came across a notice which stated – Telco requires bright, young engineers at a salary of Rs 1,500. This was big money at that time. But that notice followed with a line that said lady students need not apply. I was agitated!
Sudha Murty
To be a true leader, I needed to better understand my unique strengths and how to apply them across the company as we grew.
Julia Hartz
Sure, I get the blues. But what I try to do, is apply joy to the blues, you know? I don’t know if it’s a technique, or just being bent that way, being raised by the folks I was raised by.
Jeff Bridges
I apply the term ‘creativity’ broadly… it’s problem solving. We are all faced with problems, and we have to address them and think of something new, and that’s where creativity comes in.
Edwin Catmull
It was a sort of weird, troubled road into acting because I had been a bit naughty in school until I did my Highers, and then I was like, ‘Oh, I think I’m going to apply myself and surprise everyone.’
Chloe Pirrie
We must be both more conservative and more liberal than most students of Christian worship: conservative in holding exclusively to God’s commands in Scripture as our rule of worship, and liberal in defending the liberty of those who apply those.
John Frame
Fame is really strange. One day you’re not famous, and then the next day you are, and the odd thing is that you know intellectually that nothing in the world is different. What mattered to you yesterday are the same things that matter today, and the rules all still apply – yet everyone looks at you differently.
Matt Damon
I like Urban Decay lip products, but I don’t wear much make-up on a day-to-day basis. I just apply a little mascara on my lashes and some bronzer.
Ashley Roberts
In a nation based on the ‘consent of the governed,’ judges are supposed to apply the laws the people have assented to.
Wendy Long
If you control one house of Congress, you cannot abolis

If you control one house of Congress, you cannot abolish something like Obamacare, no matter how much pressure you apply.
Charles Krauthammer
Even if you’re going into a field that has nothing to do with computer science, just having that way of analytical thinking and being able to process information and break it down is important no matter what you’re doing. Having that knowledge of code is something that you can apply to your daily life.
iJustine
When I was growing up, it was ‘All Eyes On Me’ by Tupac and ‘Doggy Style’ by Snoop Dogg. I’ve met Snoop and he’s the best. They say you shouldn’t meet your idol – that definitely doesn’t apply to him.
Dizzee Rascal
My mother would apply castor oil to my lashes every night. That was kind of torturous, because I would wake up with my eyes stuck close. She knew I would thank her years later for my long, curled lashes!
Shobana
Wherever on this planet ideals of personal freedom and dignity apply, there you will find the cultural inheritance of England.
Karel Capek
When I get ready with my friends before going out, they will always do their base before their eyes. Whereas, my number one rule is to always apply your eye make-up first, followed by your base make-up. This way if the eyeshadow trickles down, you can wipe it away without ruining the rest of your face.
Rochelle Humes
I use sunscreen every single day, even if I’m not going outside in the sun, because I’m near a window. I can always get those UV rays on my face, so I always apply sunscreen on my face and neck. It’s like brushing my teeth: I feel weird if I don’t apply sunscreen.
Michelle Phan
We all have our vanities. The retouching magazines like ‘Vogue’ do is the professional version of the retouching we do when we, for example, apply Instagram filters to the pictures we take and share on our social networks.
Roxane Gay
I used to be a health-care investor a long time ago in the public markets. One thing I learned that we tried to apply here is that investing in small molecules, trying to invest in the next treatment, there’s an element of gambling to that.
Bill Maris
When a story is told really well and is real, even if it’s not about their own lives, people can apply it to themselves.
Jeff Bridges
Indonesia can hold regular elections, but if the laws do not apply to the most powerful elements in society, then there is no rule of law and no genuine democracy. The country will never become a true democracy until it takes serious steps to end impunity.
Joshua Oppenheimer
One of the things Baidu did well early on was to create an internal platform that made it possible for any engineer to apply deep learning to whatever application they wanted to, including applications that AI researchers like me would never have thought of.
Andrew Ng
There are as many routes to writing success as there are writers who got there. My advice, however, applies across the board: read widely, learn the craft by whatever means you can – workshops and writing programs are ideal, but even self-study can work – apply what you learn, and persevere.
Therese Fowler
I use SPF every day, then apply foundation, mascara, eyeliner and blusher. I always take my make-up off at night and moisturize.
Felicity Jones
The ‘Bryson’ song was a focus track. I dropped so many gems throughout the whole song. I don’t want no bars to go over nobody’s head in my light songs. If you apply them to your real life, you will see change immediately. Apply it to your life and I just know it will help someone.
NLE Choppa
The whole slacker generation totally didn’t apply to us musically.
Dave Grohl
When something you use again and again is on sale, take advantage. This strategy doesn’t apply to perishable items, and you don’t want to buy so much more than you need just to get a deal, but if you know you’re going to use a product eventually, it pays to take advantage of the cheaper price.
Jean Chatzky
It defies logic that protections against predatory debt collection practices don’t apply to debt collectors hired by the federal government.
Cory Booker
For its part, one of the keys of Tottenham is that it has players who know each other very well for two or three years. They have not made changes and are managed by the same coach, Mauricio Pochettino. Therefore, they perfectly apply the idea of team and style of play.
Bojan Krkic
From the start, I used a different kind of girl in Nars campaign images. My choice to use models of colour such as Alek Wek, Naomi Campbell and Karen Park Goude was absolutely a deliberate one. I felt that makeup was universal and should apply to everybody.
Francois Nars
I see ‘Hansel and Gretel’ as a breakthrough book for me, and one of the reasons is because I started to apply meaning to the hidden details.
Anthony Browne
You cannot increase the efficiency of photosynthesis. We improve the performance of farms by irrigating them and fertilizing them to provide all these nutrients. But we cannot keep on doubling the yield every two years. Moore’s law doesn’t apply to plants.
Vaclav Smil
Even as my father grew up in Boston, Massachusetts, signs told him: ‘No Irish Need Apply.’
Robert Kennedy
The treadmill won’t run on its own; you have to put some work into this. If you’re going to lose weight, you have to apply yourself.
Joanna Coles
Holiday hiring is only useful if you get the right people, and the consensus among HR professionals is that the most consistent and efficient means of finding good people is to use word of mouth. Namely, this is because focusing on referrals means that only people who are already within your network will apply.
Fabrizio Moreira
I wanted to write an adventure in the old-fashioned way, something to which I could apply the adjective ‘rollicking’ and not feel embarrassed. But I’ve never liked my heroes to be too heroic, so they ended up being a bunch of criminals instead.
Chris Wooding
As long as I can apply my craft, I’m happy.
Billy West
The technique to apply lipstick is no technique. It’s okay if it’s not perfect.
Camille Rowe
Credit card companies pay college students generously to stand outside dining halls, dorms, and academic buildings and encourage their fellow students to apply for credit cards.
Louise Slaughter
I know what I have to do if I want to lose weight and stay healthy: eat a proper diet and exercise. All I’ve got to do is apply it.
John Candy
There is a limit to the application of democratic methods. You can inquire of all the passengers as to what type of car they like to ride in, but it is impossible to question them as to whether to apply the brakes when the train is at full speed and accident threatens.
Leon Trotsky
I find it interesting, the different rules that apply t

I find it interesting, the different rules that apply to journalism and drama, even though journalism has become more and more about entertainment, and entertainment has become more and more about journalism.
Gus Van Sant
Then I came in twice a week – for my own enjoyment as well as to be a guide. And then we started to apply some of the splinters of the ideas back into the piece.
Siobhan Davies
I took physics, and lo and behold, there’s a lot of physics in ‘Lost.’ I think for most people, liberal arts educations are more abstract, but for me, it’s been a chance to apply the things I’ve learned more directly. I also took some Folklore and Mythology classes, and I think that a lot of that influenced me.
Carlton Cuse
I support both a Fair Tax and a Flat Tax plan that would dramatically streamline the tax system. A Fair Tax would replace all federal taxes on personal and corporate income with a single national tax on retail sales, while a Flat Tax would apply the same tax rate to all income with few if any deductions or exemptions.
Ralph Hall
Both are about telling stories and bringing truth to those stories. In most of my music it’s firsthand experience, and some of the same rules apply in TV. The difference in music is the control, whereas doing this, it’s someone else’s words that you can play in your own way.
Kano
The rules of improvisation apply beautifully to life. Never say no – you have to be interested to be interesting, and your job is to support your partners.
Scott Adsit
Baboons who have friends do much better in terms of their physiology. And if that applies to a baboon, it could certainly apply for a human.
Robert Sapolsky
If you’re running an engineering or finance company, all companies depend on ideas and ingenuity. I think the principles of creative leadership apply everywhere, whether it’s an advertising company or whether you’re running a hospital.
Ken Robinson
I like to let my skin breath as much as possible on my days off, when I don’t have to wear full or heavy make-up. So I just apply it as a moisturiser, knowing that it’s going to even out my skin tone and give me SPF 15 coverage, too.
Holly Willoughby
When I was a student, the laws of physics were regarded as completely off limits. The job of the scientist, we were told, is to discover the laws and apply them, not inquire into their provenance.
Paul Davies
Rotary provides training at all levels so that those who have been selected for leadership positions have the opportunity to learn and apply leadership principles to their jobs.
Ron D. Burton
There are clear cases in which ‘understanding’ literally applies and clear cases in which it does not apply; and these two sorts of cases are all I need for this argument.
John Searle
I believe there are some great things that I’ve taken from the Bible in terms of loving the world and trying to be kind. There are a lot of good things to take from the Bible, and I like to think I try to apply them to my life.
Michaela Coel
You know, I hate to give advice because my life has been so odd that almost nothing that’s happened to me can apply.
William Joyce
Rock stars should be able to tune their own guitars, apply their own eyeliner, and pick out their own leather pants.
Shawn Amos
As I got older, with my work, I became aware of the responsibility of film, and I feel one of the best ways I can apply myself as an actor, is to go beyond movie stardom and celebrity.
Nicolas Cage
Textures apply to everything I do. Even within my music, I like smooth things, and then hard and fluffy things, all giving them their place to shine.
FKA twigs
When somebody says I wanted to be an astronaut my question is ‘Did you apply?’ And most people say no. And to me that’s a self-elimination.
Anne McClain
Ive actually developed a well of confidence. But would I apply for the ‘Financial Times’ economics correspondent? No, I would feel I wasnt up there.
Katty Kay
I don’t mind losing, but I do want to apply myself, I go for it.
Denise Lewis
But my role is to just apply the skills I’ve learned over the years: you listen to the guitar, you listen to the vocal melodies, you listen to the rhythm, and you come up with something that helps you take the song somewhere.
Krist Novoselic
A trilogy is a pretty abstract notion. You can apply it to almost any three things.
Jonathan Demme
I liberally apply sunscreen and wear hats.
Christie Brinkley
I thought the divorce statistics would never apply to me. I was beyond heartbroken when they did. But I got up and got on with it. I also kept my belief in marriage.
Jennifer Garner
Health and beauty is not just about what you apply. If you don’t have it together on the inside, then nothing else is going to matter.
Nia Peeples
Every problem can be solved as long as they use common sense and apply the right research and techniques.
Daymond John
Words can sometimes be used to confuse, but it’s up to the practitioners of the study of language to apply them for good and not for evil. It is just like fire; fire can heat your house or burn it down.
Frank Luntz
Rules matter, and to be rules they need to be universal in form: always do this, never do that. But it is foolish to rule out in advance the possibility that an occasion might arise when normal rules just don’t apply. Rules are not there to be broken, but sometimes break them we must.
Julian Baggini
There’s a lot of interest from the medical community on how things develop in microgravity, and the hope, later, that is expected to apply to what the changes are in humans as well.
Linda M. Godwin
You may call me selfish if you will, conservative or reactionary, or use any other harsh adjective you see fit to apply, but an American I was born, an American I have remained all my life.
Henry Cabot Lodge
You gotta follow the white guys. Truly. They’ve got this thing wired. Too often, we live within their games, so why would you not study what works? Take away the bad stuff – because there’s a lot – and use the savvy interesting stuff and figure out how they can apply. It’s a good one for the ladies.
Ava DuVernay
I'm able to utilize a lifetime of learning to help teac

I’m able to utilize a lifetime of learning to help teach young people how to apply sound marketing strategy and principles for the purpose of growing the client’s business. And for me, that’s just too much fun.
Lionel Sosa
The opulence and grandeur of a lot of period drama really helps you get into character and appreciate the luxury of good quality. If you’re fashion-minded in any way, you can’t help but be incredibly inspired and apply elements to your own style.
Annabelle Wallis
One routine that I swear by during monsoons is to religiously apply few drops of hair serum every time I wash my hair. It cuts through the frizz and makes hair quite smooth!
Mithila Palkar
I’ve learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.
Louis C. K.
I look at American movies, the big muscles, and try to apply that to Chinese film-making.
Ang Lee
If Canada could simply apply the basic principles of sustainable development, such as the internalization of costs and ‘polluters pay,’ it would have long-term beneficial effects, both environmental and economic.
Andrew Nikiforuk
I don’t have a visa for the U.S., and I don’t want to apply for one. And I don’t want to fly for that long.
Jean-Luc Godard
When I was a television broadcasting student in 1993 up in Ottawa, Canada, and my friends and I started making a show, I consciously set out to apply comedy to technology. I started tomgreen.com back in 1994, and we weren’t able to put video on there yet, but we were aware that that was coming.
Tom Green
Anyone can apply for ‘Say Yes to the Dress’ – same-sex couples, themed weddings, traditional weddings, the full works.
Gok Wan
It all comes down to what is best for those particular genres, and if you believe in the stories that you’re telling and the characters that you like that you want to tell those stories with, you can pretty much apply it to any genre.
James Wan
I don’t attend an actual school but I’m still following through with high school. I do work with a tutor for about six hours a day. It’s hard core but definitely worth it, and it’s my main focus now – finishing up high school before I release my new album and apply to college.
JoJo
We must apply the same standards to countries such as Saudi Arabia, Israel and Egypt that we apply to Iran, Russia and Syria.
Emily Thornberry
I found that the more I’d done Shakespeare, and the more I trusted my instincts and applied the same rules you would apply to any scene, the closer I got to how it’s meant to be acted.
Tom Sturridge
NASA space scientists have been studying giraffe skin so they can apply what they learn from it to the construction of spacesuits.
Joanna Lumley
Understanding why we are here, what we are supposed to be doing, relationships, and striving to do more other than play football – when you get understanding like that and apply it, it works wonders.
Eric Weddle
I remember failing my Princeton interview. My mom wanted me to apply because ever since I was a kid she had this dream that I would apply to Princeton, but it was just not happening.
Tina Fey
If we are all endowed by our creator with the right to pursue happiness, that has to apply to the poorest neighborhoods in the poorest counties, and I am prepared to find something that works, that breaks us out of the cycles we have now to find a way for poor children to work and earn honest money.
Newt Gingrich
I think that hope, that ability to envision, to imagine a better way, and then to apply yourself to it, is the way to climb out of a hole, is the way to build a better life, is the way to build a better community and a better country.
Deval Patrick
I was 25 when I stopped racing, I loved the teamwork and I wanted to apply what I knew about it into building and running a team.
Christian Horner
I’m the only person in the world that, when he holds down two jobs, gets criticized for it; everyone else gets a pat on the back and say, ‘What an entrepreneuring, hardworking person,’ but apparently that doesn’t apply to me.
Jesse Ventura
A pie dough comes together exactly like a biscuit only there is very, very little liquid and no leavening involved. Other than that, the same rules apply. My best advice: handle the dough as little as possible.
Alton Brown
We’re so enamored of technological advancements that we fail to think about how to best apply those technologies to what we’re trying to achieve. This can mask some very important continuities in the nature of war and their implications for our responsibilities as officers.
H. R. McMaster
I believe that this is the land of religious freedom and that that applies to Muslims. And if I have to make it apply to Muslims with the work that I do, I’m going to do that.
Linda Sarsour
As a general rule, the United States government is run by lawyers who occasionally take advice from economists. Others interested in helping the lawyers out need not apply.
Richard Thaler
Legislators should demand that we not go through the entire pension reform debate just to apply a band-aid when this patient needs a quadruple bypass.
Walker Stapleton
Some machine-y music is great, but you can apply any groove to any song now – there’s literally a massive drop-down menu on most programs. And that’s what takes the human being out of the process.
Jon Hopkins
The old detective story that’s got a really complicated motive doesn’t apply to mine.
Ruth Rendell
I think that you can sort of have your own personal journey and you know, you can just kind of apply that to whatever characters you’re playing.
Ryan Gosling
When you see people your own age afflicted and experiencing life-threatening illnesses, I think it prompts you to apply to yourself the philosophy, ‘I want to do the best I know how to do every day.’
Thomas S. Monson
Citizen activists look in the mirror, see what they’re really good at and then apply their talents to solving social problems. It’s skills-based volunteering.
Jonathan Tisch
The principles and doctrines of the priesthood are sublime and supernal. The more we study the doctrine and potential and apply the practical purpose of the priesthood, the more our souls will be expanded and our understanding enlarged, and we will see what the Lord has in store for us.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
An illustration I use to get people to understand it is

An illustration I use to get people to understand it is this: I’ll ask major corporate audiences: Why don’t you just take all your traditional beliefs about organizations, and apply them to the neurons in your brain?
Dee Hock
Life’s too short to wear boring clothes and apply boring lipsticks, and BTW, I loved my blue lipstick.
Nia Sharma
I went to public and state schools – not at the same time. I did my art foundation course at Harrogate College of Arts. This brilliant tutor suggested I apply to Central Saint Martins. I adored it.
Giles Deacon
As an entrepreneur, the latitude of failure and of success is directly correlated to people. I am growing more and more attentive to my first instincts, even if I can’t justify them, as they apply to people.
Caroline Ghosn
When it was time to go to college, I was going to apply to Boston University for journalism, and dad said, ‘Why not apply to NYU film school, because you love telling stories and taking pictures?’ And I thought, ‘Oh, I can do that for a job? Cool!’
Reed Morano
Eternal principles that govern happiness apply equally to all.
Russell M. Nelson
I’m always looking to the lightweight superproduct that you apply and almost don’t see. That’s the ultimate, at least for me.
Francois Nars
Dry skin is unhappy, damage-prone skin, so apply a product to protect it from summertime drying agents like sunburns, salt and chlorine.
Paul Nassif
I think that kids who are at smaller schools or don’t have offers from big schools can look at my story and continue to work hard. I preach to them that it doesn’t matter where you come from: it matters how you play and how you apply yourself.
Josh Allen
I don’t want my writing to be so unique that when you apply it to different genres, it seems like the previous show that people know you from.
Shawn Ryan
Research the leaders in fields related to yours, synthesize their findings, and see how you can apply their hard-won wisdom to your work. Stand on their shoulders, and then make a leap into new territory that is distinctly yours.
Brendon Burchard
People often ask me whether I plan to apply for a job after an MBA, but I tell them it is just to gain knowledge.
Poonam Dhillon
At a time when there’s younger writers starting up and it’s inevitable that you’re becoming less fashionable, at a time when the industrial pressures apply more and more to books, how do you keep a book you wrote 28 years ago selling well year on year? Because it really is getting harder.
William Boyd
The old adage that you shouldn’t change a winning team doesn’t apply in modern international football because managers have to study the opposition and pick players who exploit their weaknesses.
Glenn Hoddle
The idea of acting on the first ‘Halloween’, it didn’t really apply to my eventual work, working with actors.
Nick Castle
The European Union has become a prison of peoples. Each of the 28 countries that constitute it has slowly lost its democratic prerogatives to commissions and councils with no popular mandate. Every nation in the union has had to apply laws it did not want for itself.
Marine Le Pen
I’ve always had questions about what it meant to be a protester, to be in the minority. Are the people who are trying to find peace, who are trying to have the Constitution apply to everybody, are they really the radicals? We’re not protesting from the outside. We’re inside.
Gil Scott-Heron
If our men and women in uniform are restricted from buying first-class airfare, the same should apply to Congress.
Raul Ruiz
My goal all along has just been to work and support myself. I’ve been really lucky to walk away from the ‘Twilight’ series unscathed. Somebody asked me recently what it’s like to be a star. I thought that was the strangest question. If you saw my day-to-day life, the word ‘star’ just doesn’t apply.
Anna Kendrick
After secondary school, the big thing to do was apply for uni in England or Scotland and then just stay there.
Adrian McKinty
I think camp is a really fascinating thing, and it’s hard to define and hard to apply consciously. It’s almost something you take from material that’s already existed in the world, a reading of the world. But I think it speaks of a long tradition of gay reading of the world, before gays were allowed to be visible.
Todd Haynes
There is a natural link between the effective running of my businesses and the effective direction of philanthropic funds. I apply business principles to my philanthropic work so that maximum value is given to the causes I support.
Mohammed Hussein Al Amoudi
Before we condemn the jurors who acquitted George Zimmerman, we should remember that they were asked to do something extraordinary. They were asked to listen to the facts and apply the law to the best of their ability in a case the world was watching.
Alafair Burke
What we need is to understand that women won’t often apply for a job until they’re almost 95% qualified. So they tick the box and say, ‘If I can’t do it all, I can’t be qualified.’ Men look at the same job, and as long as they get to about 60%, they’ll apply.
Jenny Shipley
For me the most important thing to do in a selfie is to have an opinion and to say something with the picture. Don’t just take a picture of yourself like, ‘Here I am.’ It’s what are you thinking? Are you happy? Are you angry? Do you like it? Do you not like it? Think an emotion and apply it to your eyes.
Nigel Barker
‘One Tree Hill’ was a great learning opportunity for me, and I’m excited to go and apply that elsewhere and see where I end up.
Hilarie Burton
We will always apply the same principles of collective security, prudent caution, and superior weaponry that enabled us to peacefully prevail in the long cold war against the Soviet Union.
Theodore C. Sorensen
I have always loved lipstick. For women, that love comes from our mother and grandmothers. It’s so natural for a woman to open up her mirror and apply lipstick.
Monica Bellucci
Don’t take criticism personally; take from it what’s useful. Apply it and move on to something better.
Catherine Tate
I didn’t have to apply my mind to the aspects of scales and playing, and instead, I focused on creativity. I wrote music, but I didn’t ‘practice’ it. So yeah, you can always get better and improve your technique, but hopefully, that comes through being a musician and composing and being a creative individual.
Yngwie Malmsteen
I’ve been in public office now 14 years, I’ve been a senior minister for six. There’s pretty much a fair bit out there about the kind of person I am and how I apply myself to the job.
Gladys Berejiklian
It is unbelievable that the federal court itself ignore

It is unbelievable that the federal court itself ignores that rights guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution apply in Puerto Rico.
Eduardo Bhatia
If there is ‘right to buy’ for council tenants and housing association properties, then why shouldn’t that apply to all tenants? Some landlords are decent, very caring people, but some of them are truly appalling.
Jeremy Corbyn
I use coconut oil every single day. I apply coconut oil on my whole body for moisturising. The oil can also be used as make-up remover, as it is light-based and is not sticky.
Nargis Fakhri
I remember my guidance counselor, when I told her I wanted to apply to Harvard, she paused and said, ‘That’s in New York, right?’ The funny thing is, I didn’t really know. It was a few weeks before I was like, ‘No, I think it’s in Massachusetts.’
Eliot Schrefer
These examples of the lack of simplicity in English and French, all appearances to the contrary, could be multiplied almost without limit and apply to all national languages.
Edward Sapir
It seems to me that whatever path you choose to take, in the end its up to each of us to try, test and live what we find out, to apply it and see what actually works, and that’s the exciting and challenging part of this very real adventure.
Linus Roache
I have always been drawn to fashion from an aesthetic and consumer standpoint. I honestly never thought that I could take my business training and apply it here. I worked in retail and was into fashion. It was something I liked, and people trusted my opinion.
Imran Amed
In order to make further progress, particularly in the field of cosmic rays, it will be necessary to apply all our resources and apparatus simultaneously and side-by-side; an effort which has not yet been made, or at least, only to a limited extent.
Victor Francis Hess
I’ve always been fascinated with the juxtaposition of technology in music, not only in recording, but in the keyboard. It’s amazing the way you can apply technology to an art form.
Geoff Downes
There’s a reason that male golfers don’t compete against female golfers. They’re in a league of their own, and it would end in tears. It’s time to apply this logic to the online world.
Steve Bannon
To use a word I never thought I’d apply to myself, I’ve sort of become a Luddite with regard to information. Where everyone else is getting their Twitter feeds from ‘The New York Times’ and their ‘Huffington Post’ emails, I live in a little bit of a bubble.
Mark Feuerstein
Using Tan-Luxe makes it easy to not expose my face to the sun because I know I can still get that natural tan. It’s very easy to apply, and I love the bronzed color it turns into – definitely not an orange tone at all.
Kaitlyn Bristowe
We ministers have undoubtedly failed to connect and apply Christianity to the practical everyday problems of the average man. In this, we have failed to follow in Christ’s footsteps. For the religion which He taught and revealed in His own life and ministry was an intensely practical and down-to-earth affair.
Peter Marshall
At home in Devon, my wife Jessica does a huge proportion of the cooking – I do the basics. My timing is extremely good, particularly when it comes to vegetables, perhaps because in my work, timing is everything. I know exactly what fits into a minute when broadcasting, and I apply the same to carrots.
Jonathan Dimbleby
I come from an alcoholic Irish background – I know where I was going! But I met my wife and started to practise Buddhism, which is a levelling experience for me, and there hasn’t been a day I’ve missed in 40 years. I apply it to everything – to my work and relationships. I try to be a compassionate person.
Patrick Duffy
Since retiring from the FBI in 2007, I’ve traveled the world and worked with everyone from CEOs to their managers and everyday workers on how to apply techniques from hundreds of high-stakes, life-or-death negotiations to business negotiations.
Christopher Voss
I don’t really know what an adverb is. A dangling participle? That sounds really rude. I don’t know what character is, really. Plot seems vaguely juvenile to me. It’s all about language, it’s all about how you apply it to the page.
Colum McCann
Whatever it is you do, practice your art; practice your trade. Learn as much as you can about what it is you’re doing and apply that as much as you can, because the application of it is what is going to mostly get you where you think you want to be.
Jaimoe
Really, some of the best ‘X-Files’ stories come right out of science. And you just apply that ‘what-if’ idea. Oh, what if this were true? And that’s why so many times the show is scarier because it was not necessarily improbable.
Chris Carter
I understood jazz, I understood how it worked. That’s what I apply to everything.
Van Morrison
GAVI works collaboratively with the private sector – from investment banks to vaccine suppliers to corporations to members of the Forbes 400 – to find new and better ways to raise and apply resources and broaden the base of participants in global health.
Seth Berkley
We keep a woman in prison for decade after decade at a cost of $60,000 a year, and then give them $200 when they hit the gates for release. And, adios. People have to get their IDs, Social Security cards. They have to get clothing, housing, apply for benefits and services, and it’s impossible to do with 200 bucks.
Susan Burton
It’s the uncertainty, the challenge and the willingness to put it all on the line that draws a lot of people to climb mountains. That can also apply to a lot of other challenges in life, whether it’s running for office, starting a family, going to grad school or taking all of your cash and assets and starting a business.
Mark Udall
In writing, I apply my feminine side and respect the mystery involved in creation.
Paulo Coelho
I’ve come to terms with the fact that if you’re on TV, lots of people like you and lots of people hate you, and once you’re OK with that, you apply it to everything.
Alexa Chung
The problem with the bronco is to get on and stay on. This is the problem with the Golden Rule-to understand and apply.
James Cash Penney
I wanted to feel that precision and control and then try to apply it to tele. That’s what I’ve looked for in my gear development through the years, and today, tele is very precise, very high-performance.
Paul Parker
We have very strong succession plans across all group companies. But we do not comment on it. The retirement age is 60 years, but it does not apply to family professionals who work in the business.
Adi Godrej
I really know right from wrong and apply that to my life. At home, I was the oldest of three. My role was to be the responsible one.
Elisha Cuthbert
There have been numerous tips and numerous people offering advice. I appreciate it because it all comes with good feelings from the heart. But some of it we’ll apply, and some things we won’t.
Canelo Alvarez
If you look at a lot of the best kicking footwork in the sport, karate has a huge influence. You can’t be effective with it if you don’t apply it correctly, however. You look at Conor McGregor, who is known for his boxing, but when I watch him fight I see a lot of karate movement with how he goes in and out.
Frank Mir
Once solved, the severe handicaps imposed on space expl

Once solved, the severe handicaps imposed on space exploration by the weight and chemical limitations of rockets would no longer apply. The whole timetable of our conquest of the planets in our solar system would be tremendously speeded up, from hot Mercury all the way out to frigid Pluto.
Donald A. Wollheim
All I know is the same lessons you need to learn at Little League basketball, you need to learn at the upper levels. It’s the little things you learn when you’re little that apply in college.
John Stockton
I think people tend to apply where they think the greatest opportunities lie.
Bennie Thompson
The Black Mamba collection of watches is me: It is my alter ego, so to speak. As I mentioned before, it is sharp, cutting edge and sleek which are characteristics I try to apply when I’m out there on the basketball court.
Kobe Bryant
My motto in life is ‘If you think it, you can do it’ and if we all apply that thought we can end hunger the world over.
Dionne Warwick
We should find inspiration in the senses that already exist and try to copy them and apply them to us. If we compare our senses to the senses of other animals and species that we don’t have, we can get ideas for new abilities that we can adapt to humans by applying cybernetics to the body.
Neil Harbisson
To this day, my haircut is the number two clippers, which I apply to myself every month.
Henry Rollins
When you photograph someone, you have to make them feel good, and you know that they want to look good. It’s the same relationship that you have when you apply makeup on somebody. We’re almost like shrinks.
Francois Nars
I think it’s dangerous to make a decision based on where one thinks the public may or may not be. Aside from the fact that that’s not what the law prescribes, it’s also, I think, not what reasoned decision-making is all about… You always try to look at the facts and apply the law faithfully.
Ajit Pai
All the societal pressures that make girls feel as if they’re too smart, especially in the sciences – ‘No one will date them. They won’t be popular.’ – don’t apply to boys. The boys are being encouraged.
Eileen Pollack
We tell applicants, ‘If you don’t intend to be here for life, you needn’t apply.’
S. Truett Cathy
I didn’t even apply. There was no warning.
Max Roach
So the proposition that the ideal parents for any child are its biological parents is a statement with which we can all agree in the generality, but which does not apply, for one reason or another, in many particular circumstances.
Malcolm Turnbull
All I can say is that with business and the interest of any party before me, I will consider and apply the law as it is written by Congress and informed by precedent.
Sonia Sotomayor
Men can be sex symbols and also earn respect for their professional accomplishments, and the same standard should apply to women.
Ana Kasparian
In London, I used to play ‘Boys of Summer,’ but it didn’t feel right, because it doesn’t apply to your surroundings, to the weather. I remember being in L.A. and listening to that record and going, ‘Oh, I get it now.’
Shura
I advised the insurance companies to apply certain rate adjustments only to plans where the federal government provides assistance in order to save Montanans money and keep rates lower on other plans.
