If a little knowledge is dangerous, where is the man who has so much as to be out of danger?
A forest of these trees is a spectacle too much for one man to see.
I grew up below the poverty line; I didn’t have as much as other people did. I think it made me stronger as a person, it built my character. Now I have a 4.0 grade point average and I want to go to college, and just become a better person.
Don’t fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.
People spend too much time finding other people to blame, too much energy finding excuses for not being what they are capable of being, and not enough energy putting themselves on the line, growing out of the past, and getting on with their lives.
So many worlds, so much to do, so little done, such things to be.
Oftentimes, the most important decisions I make are the ones I don’t put much thought into.
No matter how much cats fight, there always seem to be plenty of kittens.
Hormones get no respect. We think of them as the elusive chemicals that make us a bit moody, but these magical little molecules do so much more.
As a medical doctor, it is my duty to evaluate the situation with as much data as I can gather and as much expertise as I have and as much experience as I have to determine whether or not the wish of the patient is medically justified.
Truth is a demure lady, much too ladylike to knock you on your head and drag you to her cave. She is there, but people must want her, and seek her out.
He has achieved success who has worked well, laughed often, and loved much.
I much prefer the sharpest criticism of a single intelligent man to the thoughtless approval of the masses.
As a teacher I realize that what one learns in school doesn’t serve for very much at all, that the only thing one can really learn is self-understanding, and this is something that can’t be taught.
The Web as I envisaged it, we have not seen it yet. The future is still so much bigger than the past.
Since the beginning of time, children have not liked to study. They would much rather play, and if you have their interests at heart, you will let them learn while they play; they will find that what they have mastered is child’s play.
Your life is like a play with several acts. Some of the characters who enter have short roles to play, others, much larger. Some are villains and others are good guys. But all of them are necessary; otherwise, they wouldn’t be in the play. Embrace them all, and move on to the next act.
One belongs to New York instantly. One belongs to it as much in five minutes as in five years.
Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what worked with what sounded good.
I assess the power of a will by how much resistance, pain, torture it endures and knows how to turn to its advantage.
Men are mortal. So are ideas. An idea needs propagation as much as a plant needs watering. Otherwise both will wither and die.
No matter how much success you’re having, you can’t continue working together if you can’t communicate.
Having read the histories of other countries, I saw that expansion was everything, and that the world’s surface being limited, the great object of present humanity should be to take as much of the world as it possibly could.
Humans are creatures of habit. If you quit when things get tough, it gets that much easier to quit the next time. On the other hand, if you force yourself to push through it, the grit begins to grow in you.
After you’ve done all the work and prepared as much as you can, what the hell, you might as well go out and have a good time.
Do not be too moral. You may cheat yourself out of much life so.
Observe constantly that all things take place by change, and accustom thyself to consider that the nature of the Universe loves nothing so much as to change the things which are, and to make new things like them.
Yes, well I really hope I can make a difference, even in the smallest way. I am looking forward to helping as much as I can.
I don’t feel too much pressure. I only see an opportunity.
To give thanks in solitude is enough. Thanksgiving has wings and goes where it must go. Your prayer knows much more about it than you do.
As much as you learn to handle failure, you must learn to handle success too, because that’s also important.
Words cannot express quite a lot of feelings, whereas a noise or tone or drone or sound, an accordion falling down a staircase, can somehow capture an emotion much better.
I asked myself about the present: how wide it was, how deep it was, how much was mine to keep.
While physics and mathematics may tell us how the universe began, they are not much use in predicting human behavior because there are far too many equations to solve. I’m no better than anyone else at understanding what makes people tick, particularly women.
I’ve been actually really very pleased to see how much awareness was raised around bullying, and how deeply it affects everyone. You know, you don’t have to be the loser kid in high school to be bullied. Bullying and being picked on comes in so many different forms.
After all, the best part of a holiday is perhaps not so much to be resting yourself, as to see all the other fellows busy working.
Live all you can; it’s a mistake not to. It doesn’t so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven’t had that what have you had?
I do not think much of a man who is not wiser today than he was yesterday.
One of the big questions in the climate change debate: Are humans any smarter than frogs in a pot? If you put a frog in a pot and slowly turn up the heat, it won’t jump out. Instead, it will enjoy the nice warm bath until it is cooked to death. We humans seem to be doing pretty much the same thing.
Nothing reflects so much honor on a workman as a trial of his work and its endurance of it. So it is with God. It honors Him when His saints preserve their integrity.
I try not to drink too much because when I’m drunk, I bite.
Music is not a profession. Music is a way of life – one that requires much professionalism.
There is so much good in the worst of us, and so much bad in the best of us, that it ill behooves any of us to find fault with the rest of us.
From reading too much, and sleeping too little, his brain dried up on him and he lost his judgment.
There is nothing which we receive with so much reluctance as advice.
Silent gratitude isn’t much use to anyone.
I love the theater as much as music, and the whole idea of getting across to an audience and making them laugh, making them cry – just making them feel – is paramount to me.
Players lose you games, not tactics. There’s so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes.
Obesity is a problem that nearly every nation in the world is facing, but there is much that we can do to fix it.
Why are women… so much more interesting to men than men are to women?
A director is the captain of the ship; he gets the vision of the film much before anyone else can. While I want to experiment with characters, I know a good director means I am in safe hands.
You can never protect yourself 100%. What you do is protect yourself as much as possible and mitigate risk to an acceptable degree. You can never remove all risk.
We need to remember across generations that there is as much to learn as there is to teach.
We learn wisdom from failure much more than from success. We often discover what will do, by finding out what will not do; and probably he who never made a mistake never made a discovery.
Happiness doesn’t depend on how much you have to enjoy, but how much you enjoy what you have.
Long lives aren’t natural. We forget that senior citizens are as much an invention as toasters or penicillin.
In the long term, artificial intelligence and automation are going to be taking over so much of what gives humans a feeling of purpose.
I don’t fear death so much as I fear its prologues: loneliness, decrepitude, pain, debilitation, depression, senility. After a few years of those, I imagine death presents like a holiday at the beach.
It is much easier to show compassion to animals. They are never wicked.
Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much.
People are pretty much alike. It’s only that our differences are more susceptible to definition than our similarities.
A beautiful thing never gives so much pain as does failing to hear and see it.
I believe you make your day. You make your life. So much of it is all perception, and this is the form that I built for myself. I have to accept it and work within those compounds, and it’s up to me.
It’s as much fun to scare as to be scared.
If you bungle raising your children, I don’t think whatever else you do matters very much.
I’m actually not a big coffee fan, so I don’t drink it that much. I’d rather have a green tea. But I do love to get a white mocha sometimes – it is just a strong order.
Even in a world with much sadness, at its essence, life is beautiful.
