The soul is placed in the body like a rough diamond, and must be polished, or the luster of it will never appear.
If you want to go the scorched-earth, Obamacare-is-like-slavery route and choose to stay uninsured, you will have the Palinesque guts, the Cruzian fortitude to wave off the ambulance that will appear to scoop you up should something bad happen to you, right?
What do I mean when I say ‘suspended animation’? It is the process by which animals de-animate, appear dead and then can wake up again without being harmed. OK, so here is the sort of big idea: If you look out at nature, you find that as you tend to see suspended animation, you tend to see immortality.
Working on ‘NYPD Blue’ and ’24’, those two series, I did full runs on those. It’s great work, but everything has to align. The producers have to want you; the network has to want you; there has to be great writing; and it’s not as easy as it may appear to the outsiders to make all those things align.
Understanding can overcome any situation, however mysterious or insurmountable it may appear to be.
To many, Homer may appear lazy and a loser, but he’s just much misguided. He’s boorish, sure, but well meaning and, I guess, the one thing we have in common is the pursuit of lousy diets.
It’s very rare that people are exactly who they appear to be.
The first trick I bought at Macy’s was a little wooden board where a quarter would appear and disappear.
With the increased cost of gasoline, it doesn’t appear that we’re going to see a slowing of interest in mass transit. I think it’s going to continue to grow.
Syria may appear to be a small country, but it is just the type of entangled conflict that can lead to a world catastrophe. It does not take much imagination to see Syria as the Sarajevo of the 21st century, leading to world war.
It would appear that we have reached the limits of what it is possible to achieve with computer technology, although one should be careful with such statements, as they tend to sound pretty silly in 5 years.
The one thing that I appear to have been given, bearing in mind that I am capable of being very, very scatty and extremely lazy, is the ability to concentrate on something I choose to give my time to.
My secret for over pluckers is to keep some brow pencil on your brows at all times, even when you go to bed… If you keep product on your brows at all times they will always appear perfect, and you will not obsess on every little hair that is out of place.
It’s crucial we make the case for institutions like Nato and the E.U. as foundations for the peace and prosperity we have enjoyed for decades – and which too many people appear to take for granted.
I’ve finally learnt how to say, ‘No comment’. To appear in the tabloids is a real learning curve and a steep one at that. You had better learn quick or you get burnt.
It was a hallmark of Nelson Mandela’s leadership that being open to change made him appear not weaker, but even stronger.
The overexposure of coaches is not a good thing, we appear too much in the media, we just want to work hard.

For me, drum elements are like hieroglyphics – I think of a certain physical figure, and a little three-dimensional glyph will appear in my mind as I’m playing.
Wenger simply doesn’t like those who show a weakness. With him you generally feel as if you were in the army. It’s only in public that he may appear to be some sort of man of liberal views. In reality, his credo is natural selection.
I know a lot of people fear the rougher types who might be at a state school, but surely it is better to know who they are and how to deal with them than for that kind of child to appear as a completely different species to yours.
Nothing is impossible in this world. Firm determination, it is said, can move heaven and earth. Things appear far beyond one’s power, because one cannot set his heart on any arduous project due to want of strong will.
Talk of the devil, and his horns appear.
When I first went to Milan, my agent said you have to give off a strong, masculine energy. They don’t like campiness. They like boys to appear straight and to appear masculine. I quickly learned the game of it and how to navigate around it.
All the Chinese have to do is fly around the Moon and back, and they’ll appear to have won the return to the Moon with humans. They could put one person on the surface of the Moon for one day and he’d be a national hero.
My interest is that there is a disconnect between the science and the size of the threat that people mention about nature, the planet and the climate, and the emotion that this triggers. So we are supposed to be extremely frightened people, but despite that we appear to sleep pretty well.
A failure will not appear until a unit has passed final inspection.
A significant fraction of evangelical voters appear more likely to ignore the candidates’ specific economic and foreign policy platforms in favor of concerns about gay marriage or abortion.

Human inertia makes the everyday environment, the furniture, as it were, appear to be a given.
The United States must look beyond Mr. Putin. His regime may appear imposing, but it is rotting inside. His Russia is not a great power on par with America. It is a gas station run by a corrupt, autocratic regime.
The leader of genius must have the ability to make different opponents appear as if they belonged to one category.
Wal-Mart uses technology to increase sales volume, but the more it does so, the more it drives down profit margins – its own and everybody else’s. The same logic does not appear to hold for Goldman Sachs.
The NCAA is acting like they can or are willing to self-police. It doesn’t appear that they are willing to do it to the degree that they should.
‘Ugly Betty’ has opened my eyes to the world of fashion journalism – I’m looking forward to going to college for that. Until then, I don’t know. Will I appear on ‘Glee?’
We’re living in a time when people are struggling to appear perfect.
Light travels faster than sound. This is why some people appear bright until you hear them speak.
We exalted that Michael Phelps-consecrated water. Rose petals were strewn in Peyton Manning’s path when he retired. But hey, that’s natural. As we should, we admire those in any craft, no less so in sports, who appear out of nowhere to achieve remarkable feats.
When you are trying to impress people with words, the more you say, the more common you appear, and the less in control. Even if you are saying something banal, it will seem original if you make it vague, open-ended, and sphinxlike.

To govern is to choose. To appear to be unable to choose is to appear to be unable to govern.
The New York art world readily proves people wrong. Just when folks say that things stink and flibbertigibbet critics wish the worst on us all because we’re not pure enough, good omens appear.
Dozens of Democrats appear on Fox News each month. If it were not worth their time and energy to debate, converse and display their experience and governing styles to millions of voters who happen to watch Fox News, wouldn’t they all just line up at others’ broadcast booths on Capitol Hill?
If Spider-Man had to appear on the 90th floor of the Empire State Building, the crew would take the elevator up, open the window and say: ‘OK, Nicholas, out you go!’ There were no tricks or computer effects.
Through tattered clothes, small vices do appear. Robes and furred gowns hide all.
Regardless of the cultural system, social pressure to appear straight seems to be fairly intense cross-culturally. Indeed, one is inclined to wonder, if being straight is just natural, why does it require quite so much policing?
The Swords were still interesting but by then a cast of characters had started to appear and go on from book to book, and other things about the world began to feel constricting. And there were other things I wanted to do, so I closed the series up and stopped it.
Meticulous planning will enable everything a man does to appear spontaneous.
I wear what I want to wear and appear on stage as myself.
Too many artists appear to forget where they came from.
The first film where I had a speaking role was ‘The Low Life,’ but I did appear for about three seconds in ‘Straight Talk’ with Dolly Parton and James Woods. I had a line, and it was cut. It was alright: I got my AEU card anyway.
The worse my drawings were, the more beautiful did the originals appear.
