Second place is just the first place loser.
The second thing we did was said, OK, we’ve now identified the risk, but what do you want to do with the money? Because it’s not enough to have risk; you’ve got to have a meaningful use for the money we give you.
I went on a school trip aged 13 around the Mediterranean on a Second World War ship. Seeing lemon trees and orange groves at that age was amazing.
My undergraduate degree was in art history! Raising money for Chipotle was really my MBA. The money for my first restaurant came from my dad, the second from mostly cash flow. The third was an SBA loan. After my dad invested $1.5 million to open a few more, he suggested I raise the money myself for the experience.
In marriage do thou be wise: prefer the person before money, virtue before beauty, the mind before the body; then thou hast a wife, a friend, a companion, a second self.
I still remember asking my high school guidance teacher for permission to take a second year of algebra instead of a fifth year of Latin. She looked down her nose at me and sneered, ‘What lady would take mathematics instead of Latin?’
Any brand that attempts to live off a retro appeal is only going through a short second life cycle.
Seven years after my mother’s passing, I still reach for the phone for a split second to call her. We spoke every day.
One of the most beautiful things about Shakespeare’s Hamlet is when he stops in the middle of the play to ask, ‘To be or not to be?’ Then, right at the end, he decides to ‘let be.’ The first season of ‘Stranger Things’ was Hopper asking whether ‘to be or not to be’ and the second is to ‘let be.’
Every second I’m on the pitch for Wales is an honour, and I love playing.
On my first day in office as President Quavo, I’d move my whole family into the White House. Second, I’d pull all the troops back. Third, I’d raise the minimum wage to a good, nice amount so people get paid.
Fortunately, in Piramal Enterprises, we are in three broad sectors. One is in the whole financial services sector, the second is in pharmaceuticals, and the third is in healthcare analytics and data.
After I did the first Die Hard I said I’d never do another, same after I did the second one and the third. The whole genre was running itself into the ground.
It is really hard when you spend your life living out of a suitcase. But it really does weed out superficial people – if someone is still with you after the second movie, then they’re probably a good one! I like to trust people in general – it’s the southern girl in me.
The biggest determinant in our lives is culture, where we are born, what the environment looks like. But the second biggest determinant is probably governance, good governance or a certain kind of governance makes a huge difference in our lives.

When I was between the ages of five and nine, the soldiers of the Second World War wanted to have Betty Grable, but I wanted to be Betty Grable. She was the epitome of an alluring woman; she had it all as far as I was concerned.
It’s no secret that I love the country, and Japan has always felt like a second home to me.
Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.

Extradition treaties date back at least to 1259 B.C., when the Hittite King Hattusili the Third and Ramesses the Second signed a treaty of ‘peace and brotherhood for all time.’ They have become more commonplace as international travel has become easier and sensibly streamlined.
The truth is often terrifying, which I think is one of the motifs of Larry and Andrew’s cinema. The cost of knowledge is an important theme. In the second and third films, they explore the consequences of Neo’s choice to know the truth. It’s a beautiful, beautiful story.
When my father died, my mother was still alive. And I think when your second parent dies, there is that shock: ‘Oh man, I’m an orphan.’ There’s also this relief: It’s done; it’s finished; it’s over.
Raising kids these days is hard. I’m the second to last child in my family. I think it’s tough; I have two kids, I see them and I feel like I see things in them; they awaken the inner child in you.
People have built me up to be untouchable, unbeatable, invincible, and I’m not that. I am a man, and I am a winner, but that can change in a second.

There’s a lot of things I believe in this world. I believe in God, I believe in the United States of America, and I support and believe in the Second Amendment.
Maybe because I’m a child of the ’80s, but for me, a sequel is a story that follows the previous one, and sometimes if you haven’t seen the original, then you don’t understand the second one. Like ‘Back to the Future 2.’ If you haven’t seen the first one, you’re not going to get anything out of ‘Back to the Future 2.’
I wanted to cast a woman as second in command. NBC said no way.
Of the five most important things in life, health is first, education or knowledge is second, and wealth is third. I forget the other two.

We now live in a country where it is seen as abnormal, or even criminal, to allow children to be away from direct adult supervision, even for a second.

Maybe the bike is more dangerous, but the passion for the car for me is second to the bike.
What the immune system of man has in its advanced development is what we call immunological memory, so that once it sees something for the first time, when it sees it the second or the third time, it can respond against it in a way that’s much more accelerated than when it sees it for the first time.
My impressions of the Russian Revolution can be divided into two periods. The first period was when I showed deep sympathy. My second period is one of disappointment. This change was the result of close observation on the spot.
How you respond to the challenge in the second half will determine what you become after the game, whether you are a winner or a loser.
I always leave for the stadium on the second bus. Never the first. And I have to have new shoes – brand new shoes – for every game. Same with gloves. But I don’t use my gloves in pregame, so the first football I catch with my new gloves each game is the first ball I catch in the game.
In the second half of primary school, I liked live-action shows and giant-monster movies, and then in junior high, I got into regular movies.
After my diagnosis at age 22 with leukemia, the second piece of news I learned was that I would likely be infertile as a result of chemotherapy. It was a one-two punch that was my first indication that issues of cancer and sexual health are inextricably tied.
There are lots of things which I would love to tell him, but in some way, I also feel that I lost the person closest to me. And I got a second chance to live. So in a way I feel that I live for both of us… and I will do my best.
The second series of ‘Fonejacker’ almost killed me. It was incredibly intense.
The most expensive hobby a rich man could have is a boat, and the second most expensive hobby he could have is a very old house.

I drink a lot of Body Armor – it’s a sports drink. It offers great hydration, and it’s the best before/after drink for workouts. Orange mango is my favorite. Strawberry banana is a close second.
If I could unify my second weight division, that would be huge.
I don’t ever want it to be about me. A friend of mine told me, ‘The difference between fame and notoriety is fame is when people know you, and notoriety is when people know your work.’ The first one is not respectable, but the second one is, because that leaves a legacy.
