When I visit local communities, people often complain that they need the approval of several dozen government departments to get something done or to start a business, and people are quite frustrated about this.
In China, I realized that if you visit often enough and learn the language, you will be assimilated, but you’ll still be kept at arm’s length; you’ll always be looked on as a foreigner.
All over Africa, people are wearing what Americans once wore and no longer want. Visit the continent, and you’ll find faded remnants of secondhand clothing in the strangest of places.

If you think about the average person and their interaction with law enforcement, their whole perspective on who we are and what we stand for – our brand, if you will – might be defined by just one interaction or encounter, a traffic stop, a visit to a school, or a response to a call for help.
I really try to have fun. If I don’t have fun, you won’t have fun. That’s what my gift is: to relieve people from a little of the pain and comfort in their lives by allowing my comedy to distract them. A good laugh is almost as good as any doctor visit.
I believe that the concept of ‘design’ encompasses every aspect of customers’s exposure to a brand, from the moment they hear about us to the first time they visit our store to the process of ordering and anticipating the arrival of their glasses.

In South Africa there are many women with a large chest. There you are not embarrassed when you visit a lingerie store to get a bra fitted.

I’ve never really lived with somebody. Only for very brief periods. I learned I’m not a good roommate. I’m better off when we visit each other. I like the mystery.

I’ve been going to visit people in prison since I was a kid.
My message to the Americans, to the American President, is that I am coming from Poland, which is in good shape; it is much different than ten years ago when last state visit from Poland was here in the United States.

I was born in Boston, and when I was two and a half, my parents moved to Minneapolis. And then from there, when I was five, we moved back to Portugal. But before that, a lot of family members had come to visit us, and we had been back to Portugal many times because my whole family lived there.
I think it’s important to incorporate everything into all parts of your life. I don’t separate all the things – during the day, I talk to my kids; they come and visit. On weekends, we go crazy and do lots of activities. I’m just not good at relaxing.
I’m 78. We’ve lost a lot of our great stars. I can’t hang out with those who aren’t here. The phone service to Heaven is so bad, you know. But I get to visit with their memories.
To see for themselves what the United States has been willing to undertake in the name of freedom. We should all visit Normandy. We should pay homage to those brave Americans who stormed ashore at Omaha Beach and gave their lives for the freedom of others.
The biggest effect of travel on me is that it acts as a source of motivation. At times it makes me feel small, too. I want to visit more places.
Romania seems to be a very pro-Trump country and a pro-America country, and that’s why it’s a great honor to come visit.
Cal Poly is my kind of school. So many universities I visit boast about boring alumni like pioneering surgeons and Olympic athletes. But Cal Poly has none other than Weird Al Yankovic!

Summer is a great time to visit art museums, which offer the refreshing rinse of swimming pools – only instead of cool water, you immerse yourself in art.
My family never missed a visit in eight months, ever. I cried coming out. I didn’t cry coming in. There’s a big difference. I believe that God put me there for a reason, Incarceration is serious.
I went to Mumbai thinking I will be away from media and fans, but right from the Governor of Maharashtra to aam janata, at least 60 people would come to visit me every day. There were calls, messages and I was so touched. I didn’t know that people loved me so much and they want to see me back in action.
I visit India a lot.
I would go visit my mom on Sundays, and my brother was working on stuff. I’d go in there and sing a little melody, then we started working with words and the next thing you know it was just born organically without really trying.
Mother considered a press conference on a par with a visit to a cage of cobras.
New York and LA are both great places to visit, but I wouldn’t want to live in either of them now. I find New York extremely claustrophobic and dirty. LA is quite a nice place. But there’s no hustle and bustle, no street life.
When I come to visit my mom – every two or three months – I generally spend five or six hours with her each day. She’s always immensely glad to see me, her eldest child, her only son.

People will visit Mars, they will settle mars, and we should because it’s cool.
I read a lot of highly unsuitable books for an 11-year-old. I was desperate to read as widely as possible. I thought, ‘There are so many places I am never going to get the chance to visit, but I can if I read them.’ And I did. I could go anywhere in the world – and off it – by reading.
A brief visit to Nepal started my insatiable love for Asian art.
We loved being in Russia and would love to go back again, especially to visit my namesake.
My connection with Brazil is so abstract. My blood and my way of thinking is Brazilian, but that’s it. I don’t tend to go back to the past, and although I have an apartment there, I rarely visit. When I move, I really move.
Guys who are my friends, guys who I visit their homes, I don’t feel like fighting those guys.
I kept telling everyone I wasn’t going to Washington to stay. I go to visit.
