I am most thankful to Almighty Providence for mercies received, and determined still to press the case into public notice as a token of gratitude.
A beauty is a woman you notice; a charmer is one who notices you.
If you watch a group of schoolchildren eating lunch together, you cannot help but notice how it is a comically Lilliputian version of the adult thing – the cocked eyebrows of conversation, the reaching for condiments, the shovelling of food into tiny mouths.
I grew up in Boston in a very, very, very Marine town. So back in my neighborhood in Boston, a working-class neighborhood, when you got your draft notice, you went down, and you took your draft physical. And then, if you passed it, you joined the Marine Corps.
You can see all sorts of things in film acting if you know where to look and what to look for. One thing I often notice is that the actor is looking for his mark, the place where he has to stand to be in the right place in the shot.
I have been interested in pirates since I was about 8 years old. The idea of people deciding, sometimes at a moment’s notice, to throw over the rules and restrictions of society – it was just irresistible.
Men take much more notice of older women in France, so I might move there. I think I’m a good bet.
I made ‘Siam Sunset.’ In Australia, it was pretty much universally hated, but I did notice that almost any American who saw it loved that film, so in 2001 I made a film in America called ‘Swimfan,’ and they released like a big studio movie, and it made money.
If I’m throwing a no-hitter and someone says, ‘Hey, you’ve got a no-hitter,’ obviously I’d be like, ‘Yeah, I know.’ I just try to be humble. I don’t like to talk about myself. I have no problem speaking up when I screw up, but if I’m doing good, people are going to notice. I don’t need to talk about it.
When I played in the IPL in 2008 for Rajasthan Royals, it was a good platform for me to showcase my talent and the selectors would notice me.
Oscars are won with two or three shots only, because if it’s really beautifully photographed, you don’t really notice it until the astounding moment emphasizes it.
My mum is incredibly leftwing, and my dad was quite rightwing – no surprise they didn’t stay together – and so I had two very conflicting political opinions as a child, neither of which I was interested in taking any notice of, being a sort of little reprobate.
As the Earth continues to slow, leap seconds will grow more common. Eventually we will need one every year, and then even more. Scientists could have avoided these awkward skips by choosing instead to adjust the duration of the second itself. Who would notice? That is what they did, in fact, until 1955.
Immediately after 11 September, the U.S. closed down the Somali charitable network Al-Barakaat on grounds that it was financing terror. This achievement was hailed one of the great successes of the ‘war on terror.’ In contrast, Washington’s withdrawal of its charges as without merit a year later aroused little notice.
People need to know that what they’re doing is making a difference and that their leaders notice and appreciate their efforts.
I like driving. A lot. I think that’s something I just enjoy the most. I can, at a moment’s notice, drive across the country if, you know, I had to.
I notice that my characters go out to dinner and have fun and take these great trips, but I spend so much time on their lives, I don’t have much of a personal life of my own. I have to sort of remember to fill out that little notebook on me.
Nobody pays attention to the way a person’s shirt folds around his shoulder when they sit down, but if that shirt folded in an unusual way, you’d notice it.
There’s a whole load of stuff in life that is worth documenting. You see it every day but don’t even notice.
When I played with the Knicks, I was just as important or just as smart as any other of the guards I played with. I still had to call out plays, notice schemes, know the systems, do everything they had to do.
Acting opposite big heroes has worked well for my career. Hence, I have decided to do films that have top-notch actors as people take notice of my acting talent too.
I am just learning to notice the different colors of the stars, and already begin to have a new enjoyment.
Hulk Hogan and I put 43,000 people in the Georgia Dome with three days’ notice. I’ve got a fairly big following in Atlanta.

It’s just really awesome to be rewarded for all your hard work; that people take notice of how I treated my teammates, how I was in my community.
What attracted us and allured us to Old Trafford are all the great things, all the great history, and all the great heritage. People keep saying ‘what are you going to change?’ And the thing I keep saying is people aren’t going to notice a change.
I feel like sleep is the most important thing. I notice in my body, when I don’t get enough sleep on a consistent basis, how I am dreary, or my mood changes, or I’m not as focused.
When I was Surgeon General, I spent a lot of time talking to people in living rooms and town halls all across the country, and one of the things I started to notice was that behind many of the stories of addiction, violence, depression and anxiety were threads of loneliness.
I notice that teams are now more interested in Japanese players than when I first went to Europe.
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!
Just make the comics you want to see, and people will notice.
The French are so into themselves that they don’t even notice you.
When the lads see that the coach loves football and believes in what he says – he’d really prefer to be playing with the team – that creates a sense of enthusiasm among the players and trust in the coach. They notice that you’re one of them.
I can’t be quiet, as that’s when I notice the ringing in my ears.
The so-called Boer War advertised British vulnerabilities, and these were confirmed by the Irish rising of 1916 and the subsequent creation of the Irish Free State, blows that attracted the notice and attention of colonial dissidents in Asia and Africa.
It took me some years to clear my head of what Paris wanted me to admire about it, and to notice what I preferred instead. Not power-ridden monuments, but individual buildings which tell a quieter story: the artist’s studio, or the Belle Epoque house built by a forgotten financier for a just-remembered courtesan.
So many times, I notice nobody will say a bad word about a team or situation because they’re worried about their next job. I’m not worried about that.
In general, men are wired to notice obvious signs that convey interest in mating – a warm smile, for example – and ignore other subtleties, like if your lipstick is faded.
I’ve always enjoyed that kind of thing – thinking about the production of narrative and why it is that when we read a novel, we don’t notice the fact that someone who might be very close-mouthed or tight-lipped is perfectly willing to tell us a story in 600 or 700 pages.
Many historians will tell you that there are no laws of history and no great cycles that govern human events. History often appears more random than rhythmic. But if not patterns or cycles, there are certainly coincidences and some are so marked that they are hard not to notice.
I’ve always been pretty lucky with my skin. I did notice a big change when I changed my diet and started to eat more natural foods in that my skin just got clearer and brighter.
Something I notice speaking to writers from south of Hadrian’s Wall is that the culture is different. At base, I think Scotland values its creative industries differently from England.

I look at trees, hunt mushrooms, and watch animals. Fishing is what gets me out into the woods so I can notice these things.
I believe an invitation from the Commission on Presidential Debates is similar to a draft notice – a civic responsibility.
I grew up in Atlanta, Georgia, the youngest of five. There’s something about being the youngest and wanting to be seen. You’re like, ‘I want attention, notice me.’
One thing that I think most people don’t notice is that if you’re sitting around telling yourself, ‘I want to be happier,’ there’s a kind of subconscious message that you’re also telling yourself at the same time, which is, ‘What I have is not enough.’
The only reason we don’t notice how absolutely interwoven our thinking processes have become with older technologies – pencils, paper, electric light, penicillin, fire – is that they’re old, so we’ve ceased to notice their effects.
I am going to notice the lights of the earth, the sun and the moon and the stars, the lights of our candles as we march, the lights with which spring teases us, the light that is already present.
