The big talent is persistence.
The big divide in this country is not between Democrats and Republicans, or women and men, but between talkers and doers.
We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there’s enough room for all of us to succeed.
There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.
I am very excited – it’s a big opportunity for me to play for Manchester United, a new challenge for me. I will try to do my best.
My mother loved entertaining, and I’ve followed suit, so we have big celebrations for New Year, Passover, Thanksgiving and birthdays.
But people who really know me, know that I am not a bad boy at heart… I am a big teddy bear.
We danced on the lip of the volcano, so to speak. We were young, too. And New York was still a big, open city where anything could happen and anyone could be star. Rents were cheap, creativity was encouraged, and bottle service was still 20 years away. That was the era the Club Kids came into.
I’m a pretty positive person, so a bad mood is quite a big deal.
I’m still a, you know, a silly girl… a big kid.
Loyalty is a big part of football, and it shows if you are a real man or not.
I’m not a big fan of shopping. I certainly am a fan of clothes, and especially people that put time into the construction of them.
There’s a big, wonderful world out there for you. It belongs to you. It’s exciting and stimulating and rewarding. Don’t cheat yourselves out of this promise.
See, when you drive home today, you’ve got a big windshield on the front of your car. And you’ve got a little bitty rearview mirror. And the reason the windshield is so large and the rearview mirror is so small is because what’s happened in your past is not near as important as what’s in your future.
Judaism is not a dogmatic religion but one which loves debate, in which scholarship has played a big part. Scholars never agree about anything.
There is not enough funding for basic sciences in India. We have to invest in a big way, and I am pushing that idea.
As the years went by, working on Broadway, I started seeing that I had a fan base and that they were mostly young girls. They are looking for someone that they can look up to, that they see as a role model. And I don’t take that lightly; it’s a big responsibility.
I know life goes on if you make a big bet and you lose. But if you don’t give yourself the best chance of winning, you’re going to kick yourself tomorrow.
Most of what Einstein said and did has no direct impact on what anybody reads in the Bible. Special relativity, his work in quantum mechanics, nobody even knows or cares. Where Einstein really affects the Bible is the fact that general relativity is the organizing principle for the Big Bang.
People can say what they want about me. But I’ve got a big heart and will keep going.
I direct with energy. I believe in energy. I think energy is an electric thing in actors. I try to inspire, encourage, and make choices with lots of energy. And truth. I’m big fan of truth and being funny. I like leading 50 people into battle every day.
Teddy Roosevelt… once said, ‘Speak softly and carry a big stick.’ Jimmy Carter wants to speak loudly and carry a fly swatter.
I have these big piano-playing hands. I feel like I should be picking potatoes.
I’m having a great time. It’s like I’m on some ridiculous big roller coaster not knowing what’s happening next, but just having a great time on the ride.
Baseball is a game based on adversity. It’s a game that’s going to test you repeatedly. It’s going to find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and force you to adjust. That adversity, in the big picture, is a really good thing because it shows you where your weaknesses are. It gives you the opportunity to improve.
The big print giveth and the small print taketh away.
And I like asking questions, to keep learning; people with big egos might not want to look unsure.
Prisons are big businesses, which I hadn’t realized. A lot of these name brand labels that we wear – they’re using prison labor and exploiting prisoners, who live in harsh conditions. People need to know about this kind of sweatshop labor, so they can decide what to spend their money on.
I grew up in a big family with a lot of kids around, and I definitely want to have children as well.
I think it’s really important to look at the big picture instead of just one competition.
You don’t have to be fearless to do anything; you can be scared out of your mind. I fear that I won’t get better and that I won’t have time to practice. To be called a ‘jazz musician’ – it’s a big responsibility.
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.
First of all, the Big Bang wasn’t very big. Second of all, there was no bang. Third, Big Bang Theory doesn’t tell you what banged, when it banged, how it banged. It just said it did bang. So the Big Bang theory in some sense is a total misnomer.
Our problems are man-made, therefore they may be solved by man. And man can be as big as he wants. No problem of human destiny is beyond human beings.
All my big mistakes are when I try to second-guess or please an audience. My work is always stronger when I get very selfish about it.
I have gotten a couple of letters meant for Mr. Bean aka Rowan Atkinson. These letters would say things like, ‘You’re so funny, you make me laugh, with your big rubbery face,’ and I would say, ‘You can’t mean me!’
The presidency has made every man who occupied it, no matter how small, bigger than he was; and no matter how big, not big enough for its demands.
Rickey got a big ranch. Rickey got a big bull. Rickey got horses. Rickey got chickens and everything. And Rickey got a 20-gallon hat.
I worked in a pet store and people would ask how big I would get.
I’m not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.
Arts education is a big part of building a 21st century creative mind, and I think that we have let way too many kids lose their way by not drawing in their young minds with music, dance, painting and the other various ways we can express those things we do not have words for.
I’m a big believer in the emotion of design, and the message that’s sent before somebody begins to read, before they get the rest of the information; what is the emotional response they get to the product, to the story, to the painting – whatever it is.
For me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o’clock, and I’ll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I’ll go train.
I love food. I’m a big food person. I’m really passionate about eating good food all the time.
I never did smoke that much pot; never was a big pothead.
Figuring out what the next big trend is tells us what we should focus on.
It does the American economy no long-term good to only keep the big box factories where we are now assembling ‘American’ products that are composed primarily of foreign components. We need to manufacture those components in a robust domestic supply chain that will spur job and wage growth.
If ‘Chicago Fire’ goes for a long run, maybe I’ll look for a place, but in my line of work, you can’t throw your eggs into one basket because you might have to move. I’m not big on ‘things,’ though, so I don’t own TVs, couches or cars because I wouldn’t know where to put them.
If you want to win, you have to beat the big teams in Europe, and Juventus are awesome.
We must develop huge demonstrations, because the world is used to big dramatic affairs. They think in terms of hundreds of thousands and millions and billions… Billions of dollars are appropriated at the twinkling of an eye. Nothing little counts.
I told Celine Dion not to record that ‘Titanic’ song. That’s about as big as you can get. ‘Flashdance?’ I thought, ‘Welder by day, disco dancer by night – who wants to see that?’
It’s always the small people who change things. It’s never the politicians or the big guys. I mean, who pulled down the Berlin wall? It was all the people in the streets. The specialists didn’t have a clue the day before.
Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That’s pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
