It’s very hard to complain about society if you don’t get involved.
Injuries aren’t anything foreign to me. I am used to overcoming illness and injury; you can’t complain about it. When you’re standing up there on the blocks, it doesn’t really matter: it’s all about the next minute.
It has to be a very specific role for me because of my accent. I can’t complain; I’ve been working since I got to LA. But it is hard. I have no training as an actress so I try whatever I do like school, because I’m learning.
Short-sellers perform a useful function in the market as conduits of negative information, and shorts often complain that they are discriminated against by regulators.

Although it was common in our culture to complain a lot – about friends, relatives, business partners, bad luck, and the general cluelessness of non-Jews – we were not permitted to complain that anti-Semitism and discrimination were standing in our way.
Man is insatiable for power; he is infantile in his desires and, always discontented with what he has, loves only what he has not. People complain of the despotism of princes; they ought to complain of the despotism of man.

The CHIP program, even if the parliamentarian says nothing else is allowed – and that is a possibility – CHIP, which no state ever complains about, gives a lot more flexibility than Obamacare and allows the secretary of HHS to give waivers.

It doesn’t matter what cards you’re dealt. It’s what you do with those cards. Never complain. Just keep pushing forward. Find a positive in anything and just fight for it.

I’ve never been anywhere in my life like it and I only really noticed it when I returned to Los Angeles and then Berlin. Everybody is much better off in these places, there is not poverty like in Cuba, but everybody complains about things.
Memory depends very much on the perspicuity, regularity, and order of our thoughts. Many complain of the want of memory, when the defect is in the judgment; and others, by grasping at all, retain nothing.

‘Tis the voice of the sluggard; I heard him complain, you have waked me too soon, I must slumber again.
One of the things that people complain about is loneliness, disconnectedness. If you live in a society where your life is rarely threatened and most of your relationships are more on an economic exchange basis, then this could leave people feeling less connected.
I had a father who was active, present. There are people out there that never knew their fathers, didn’t have their father’s support. If I were to complain, that would be real sad. How dare I?
Sometimes I just want to write a really intense love scene. But I can’t do that in my books for teens, or parents will complain – believe me, I’ve tried.
People often complain that music is too ambiguous, that what they should think when they hear it is so unclear, whereas everyone understands words. With me, it is exactly the opposite, and not only with regard to an entire speech but also with individual words.
Am I going to complain about being typecast as smart? I don’t think so.
I don’t want to be a historical action figure or treated like I’m dead. Like one of those people where they go, ‘Oh, isn’t she dead?’ And then I walk up, and they’re like, ‘Whoa.’ I can’t really complain… because I’ve made myself into a historical action figure. I was like, ‘Yeah, come on in!’
Obama’s people will all often complain about how trivial and silly the media is, but there’s no president who’s probably benefited from this sort of trivialness or superficial nature as President Obama.

This is what I always wanted to do in my entire life, so I am not going to sit here and complain that it is so terrible to be in successful movies, because it becomes a trilogy!

People always complain, ‘you never invited me to your wedding’, but I prefer casual weddings.
Beast Mode doesn’t make excuses. It doesn’t complain. Whatever you’re doing, go out there and get it done. Keep pushing. If I have a bad game, I think about what I have to do to return to form. Figure it out, go to sleep, and wake up a new man.
Those in powerless positions aren’t about to complain about bullying bosses, abusive supervisors or corrupt co-workers. There is no safe way to do so and no process that promises redress.
Those who do not complain are never pitied.
I criticise myself a lot. My friends complain about it.
One of the things about being a law student is that the academic discipline of law is very often removed from the practical reality of law. How to complain, who to complain to, and whether or not you even need to invoke the law is very different in the real world from how it’s examined in the lecture theatre.
You’re more constrained when you’re wealthy. Or when you’re making a bigger film and people complain about no budgets; but having a small amount of money to make a film means you’re at your absolute freest to express yourself as an artist.
The next time a news outlet complains about the state of our political rhetoric or the uninformed U.S. voter, we should promptly point them to the video of Ashley Parker raucous in a Polish cemetery or Philip Rucker’s diatribes on party invitations.
Being lampooned on ‘South Park’ is hardly something to complain about. They brought the issue of the dolphin and whale slaughter by the Japanese to a very large audience. I could not really care less how I was portrayed.
If you’re on TV, you can’t complain, right? And I understand that, and it’s true to a certain degree.
People ask me if I’m worried that I’m going to be stuck in Miranda forever. I’m not, because how could I complain about what I’ve been given?
I’m neurotic. I complain all the time. I’m a workaholic. And I’m never satisfied.
If ordinary people complain that I speak too much of myself, I complain that they do not even think of themselves.
It started at 49 with ‘Tango in Halifax’ and then ‘Happy Valley.’ I can’t complain at a time when most actors are disappearing. I seem to have become very visible.
When I am shooting a film, then everything goes soft focus. My family also complains that I don’t give them time.
You shouldn’t get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes, yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious.

I’m not one of those spoiled rock stars who complains about how tedious it is to perform my old hits.
I can’t complain about the roles that have come my way.
I don’t actually think I’m treated unfairly or anything. If anything, I sometimes can’t understand why I don’t see myself and the people I know represented more in films. Unless I’m going to go out and write them myself, I don’t feel like I can really complain about it.
I’ve been on predominantly ‘white’ shows before, and I had also been on predominantly ‘black’ shows. I would complain that when I was on a white show, they would only hire me because there was a black character or they needed a black voice. But then I would be mad if they went and hired a white dude in my position.
Statistics suggest that when customers complain, business owners and managers ought to get excited about it. The complaining customer represents a huge opportunity for more business.
