When you set the right targets, aspirations, and you work efficiently and diligently, the numbers happen.
It would be disingenuous of me to blanket-ly love everything a woman has produced simply to make a statement that we’re all in this together. No. We’re in Hollywood trying to be competitive, and get numbers, have our eyes on the Nielsens and things like that.
It’s not how you start the season, it’s how you finish. If you wind up helping the team make the playoffs, that’s what you play for. You don’t play to put up your numbers, but to try to get a chance to make it to the World Series.
Tarots tell different sides of the various personalities that exist in all of us. I find it fascinating how they combine names, images, and numbers. You don’t need to be able to read them, or know their real meaning, to be charmed.
We don’t even know our friends’ phone numbers anymore.
I’ve been living with anxiety much, much, much longer than I’ve been with living with alcoholism, that’s for sure. I already knew from the sheer numbers and all the data that I’m not alone. I mean, the biggest mistake I did was spending most of my life thinking I was the only person who felt this way.
Falling little wind, it was five before I could form my line, or distinguish any of the enemy’s motions; and could not judge at all of their force, more than by numbers, which were seventeen, and thirteen appeared large.
Rules must be established and enforced, and, as numbers are increased in prisons, the necessity for vigilance increases. These rules, let it be understood, may be kindly while firmly enforced. I would never suffer any exhibition of ill-temper or an arbitrary exercise of authority.
If migrants from other cultures arrive too fast and in numbers too great for society to absorb and integrate them, they begin to impose those cultures on the host country.
It’s something you dream about as a kid. Like when you play all those NCAA video games as a kid and you create your own player and win the Heisman with a bunch of crazy numbers. It’s the biggest, most prestigious award in college football, so it’d definitely be a dream come true.
I became an entrepreneur as a child. I liked the art of the deal whether I was mowing lawns or selling candy or promoting clubs at the age of 16. I understood early on the importance of knowing my numbers and surrounding myself with the best people.

Christmas is the biggest holiday in numbers – in terms of gross amounts – because you have one and a half to two months.
When I visited Syrian special forces along the front lines, I was given extraordinary amounts of detail. They gave me the code numbers for the various positions they’ve got, told me where the rebels were – about 800 meters away in a forest. I met soldiers who had been wounded but were still serving.
I have sung all kinds of songs – be it ghazals, qawwalis, romantic numbers or peppy numbers.

When I was in the GB Women’s football team at the 2012 Olympics, it was obvious who was in the first XI and who was making up the numbers. Kelly Smith was going to be first-choice striker no matter what, and the other forwards in the squad mentally checked out as a result.
All women need support when they’re having their babies and their little families are in formation. I have to say I have a lot of concern about the numbers of women – and men, now – who are not getting the support that they need. There are not the families and the communities around that there used to be.
I’m always surprised when large numbers of people buy my books.

The creator of the universe works in mysterious ways. But he uses a base ten counting system and likes round numbers.
I think it goes back to my high school days. In computer class, the first assignment was to write a program to print the first 100 Fibonacci numbers. Instead, I wrote a program that would steal passwords of students. My teacher gave me an A.
I put up O.K. numbers – not Bugs Bunny-style numbers like some other guys – but O.K. numbers.
You play against an opponent so much the numbers got to match at some point! I played against the Raiders six years straight pretty much. I played against them more than any team I’ve ever played.
The invisible thing called a Good Name is made up of the breath of numbers that speak well of you.
People talk about Kobe’s 81-point game, the second-highest scoring game in NBA history. I saw the game. I don’t care if it was 79, 81 – I just remember the game. I remember the moves. I remember the shots. I remember the beauty of it. The numbers? What he shot from the field? I don’t care.
Mr. Speaker, Americans want, need, and rightfully expect Congress to protect them from the prying eyes of identity thieves and give them back control of their Social Security numbers and personal health information.
The opposition has moved from a blaming the victim to blaming the victim’s advocate’s statistics. Irrespective of what the numbers are, it’s far too many.
If you don’t talk about families, then it’s easy to disembody subprime mortgages and asset securitization and unemployment rates without remembering that every one of those numbers is a million families.
For years I exercised to be thinner, and I never got the results I wanted. When I finally started working out to be healthier, I saw a transformation. I’ve even quit weighing myself so I don’t obsess over the numbers.
If there’s 10,000 little boys racing around the world and there’s only 10 girls, best case 100, the numbers are stacked massively against us. If you don’t increase the talent pool of young girls, you’re not going to get the best drivers at the top.
It’s clearly a budget. It’s got a lot of numbers in it.
As many know, brain injury comes in many forms. The two most prevalent brain injuries – stroke and trauma – affect more than 2.2 million Americans, and these numbers are expected to grow.
There’s not a great danger in releasing the first single from an album without a video because the momentum from the last album will cause large numbers of fans to buy it.
There’s all these costs of war, and they’re huge and long-lasting. It’s not just the numbers CNN broadcasts. And we never want to pay the VA bill; we never want to pay the bill to take care of these warriors after we applaud their sacrifice.
I know I can go outside and have better numbers than I put up in the slot.
But clearly an economy that’s growing and expanding like this one – and it certainly is doing that with high GDP output, employment numbers strong, capacity utilization strong – that’s an environment in which the Fed needs to continually be alert to early signs of inflation.
When ‘Blue Collar TV’ was on the ‘WB,’ we were their second-highest rated show, but they didn’t know what to do with us. They had ‘Reba,’ which was number one, and we were number two, and they didn’t want to be known as the hayseed network, so they kind of dropped us, even though we were pulling great numbers.
And books that were published in much larger numbers than Selfish, Little are hard to find. And publishers who wanted to publish my last few works have them stuck in limbo while new distribution ideas and legal issues and fears are blown away.
I know what it feels like to struggle with your weight, and it makes me understand why women get attached to numbers on a scale or a dress size. It doesn’t mean that I have gotten over all of it myself, because I have good days and bad days just like everyone else.
I’m not going to run my business on the basis of quarterly numbers.
You just have to drive it in the fairways. If you miss fairways, it’s easy to make big numbers.
London chose to come out in record numbers, the highest turnout there’s ever been in a mayoral election, and – I say this not with arrogance; it is what others have said – the single biggest mandate a British politician has ever received. That shows what a wonderful city we are.
There is always strength in numbers. The more individuals or organizations that you can rally to your cause, the better.
When I multiply numbers together, I see two shapes. The image starts to change and evolve, and a third shape emerges. That’s the answer. It’s mental imagery. It’s like maths without having to think.
I am concerned if 25 percent of Americans think that President Obama is a Muslim. I mean, it’s obviously a lack of knowledge. But also, it’s for the Muslims as well, you know, because a small numbers of Muslims have really painted a very negative image of Islam.
I couldn’t care less what my numbers say at the end of the year. I just want to win games for the Astros.
