What I try to do often when I’m acting and what I like when I’m seeing good acting is how authentic it is. How true is this to what I know of the world that’s been created for me? The ultimate test for me is, like, if I heard a clip of it on the radio, I’d like the audience not to know if I’m acting.
As a revelation from God, they have stood the test of many ages; and as such maintained their ground against every species of enemy, and every mode of attack. Truth is mighty, and must prevail.

I think that’s the true litmus test for someone who has become closer to Jesus: their heart is more loving, accepting, childlike, less believing that they have all the answers and more believing in Him.
I’m not sure. I did not set it up. I have never done a polygraph test in my life. I didn’t know what to expect. I was just there to answer the questions that they put in front of me.
My parents are always a great litmus test. Based on the amount of shrieks my mother gives when we’re out in public, her constant shock when somebody comes up and says something nice.
Military is a great place for a jock. That’s the first thing they test you, they test you physically. If you can run, if you can do the pushups, it’s not as hard a transition. If you can’t do that, you’re going to have a problem because they’re going to really work it out of you or work it into you.
It’s a song that we sing after we win a Test match. We sing it after every one-day series win. It’s been passed down through the generations. It’s the culture of the Australian team.
I judge everybody on the Farage Test. Number one, would I employ them? Number two, would I go for a drink with them?
I like test screenings. I like to see a movie with an audience of strangers. I think it tells you a lot.
A movie has to get good reviews, high grosses – it has to beat expectations. The same thing with television and the ratings. But being curious isn’t like that. It’s not a public thing. It’s private, and the test is a private one. You have to be on your toes.
Some people seem to think their oven self-cleans, but you need to clean it to stop things getting blocked up so you get a good rotation of air and heat inside. Get a probe to test the oven is reaching what it says it’s reaching too.
Franklin Roosevelt said the test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance to those who have much; it is whether we provide enough to those who have too little. This reconciliation package fails that test as well.

You have to be careful not to let your fear stop you doing things. It’s very exciting to test yourself.
Guys are more apt to test me than they are to test a Charles Barkley. I think I have to go out and prove myself all the time, and that’s fine, because I’ve had to prove myself my whole life.
I had started teaching because I love brainteasers. At some point, I had taken every standardized test out there – the SATs, the GREs, the GMATs, the MCATs. I just took them for fun.
Golf… is the infallible test. The man who can go into a patch of rough alone, with the knowledge that only God is watching him, and play his ball where it lies, is the man who will serve you faithfully and well.
The perception of beauty is a moral test.
Well, The Day the Earth Caught Fire was a story… I don’t if anybody knows what it is but it was about… in the early days of testing nuclear bombs, that Russia and America happened to test a nuclear bomb at the same moment at different ends of the earth.
Test cricket is the only thing that counts. One-day and T20 performances are fine, but you rate a player by his status as a Test player. By the time I finish, I want to play at least 80 Tests and be known for my achievements in Tests.
It was generally believed that Catholics were not interested in arts and science graduate schools. They weren’t going to be intellectuals. And so I put the theses to the test. And they all collapsed.

The surest test of discipline is its absence.

The biggest competition is myself. I am not looking to follow others or pull them down. I’m planning to test my own boundaries.
The test of a vocation is the love of the drudgery it involves.
That wasn’t because of money, it was because I had a job for the next two days and wanted to work. So I faked a test. That was over two years ago. Why has there been no issue about it since then?
Ultimately, health care fails the most basic test. It’s not organized around the needs of the patient.
Scientific research and other studies have demonstrated that arts education can enhance American students’ math and language skills and improve test scores which in turn increase chances of higher education and good jobs in the future.
Obviously, international cricket is the main cricket you want to play, especially Test cricket.
I think there’s so much negative influence on children in school settings. It becomes learning by rote to pass a test. It’s not contextualized.
There is no more reason to believe that Bitcoin will stand the test of time than that governments will protect the value of government-created money, although Bitcoin is newer, and we always look at babies with hope.
When the others grew tired and went home and there was no one else to play with I used to play my own Test matches on the porch of our house, using a broom handle or a stick as the bat and a marble as the ball. I would arrange the pot plants to represent fielders and try to find the gaps as I played my shots.
The test of any man lies in action.
Gradually I find that my whole soul is merging itself into this business of writing, and especially of writing poetry. I am going to try it; and am going to test, in the most rigid way I know, the awful question whether it is my vocation.
Evolution does not necessarily favor the longest-lived. It doesn’t necessarily favor the biggest or the strongest or the fastest, and not even the smartest. Evolution favors those creatures best adapted to their environment. That is the sole test of survival and success.
The test for whether or not you can hold a job should not be the arrangement of your chromosomes.
There is no example of someone reading their scripture and saying, ‘I have a prediction about the world that no one knows yet, because this gave me insight. Let’s go test that prediction,’ and have the prediction be correct.
One day. I was putting on a hill in Zurich, and a few hundred yards away, Diana Ross was doing a sound test at an arena for a performance that night of ‘Take My Breath Away,’ my song with her. That was a very nice game, an incredible feeling.
Comfort is number one for me with shoes. I like to do a test walk in heels to make sure I won’t fall or get crazy blisters.
Do not flinch from experiences that might destroy your beliefs. The thought you cannot think controls you more than thoughts you speak aloud. Submit yourself to ordeals and test yourself in fire. Relinquish the emotion which rests upon a mistaken belief, and seek to feel fully that emotion which fits the facts.
If the abstract rights of man will bear discussion and explanation, those of women, by a parity of reasoning, will not shrink from the same test.

I don’t think there should be a litmus test on judges, no matter who the president is.
For one human being to love another; that is perhaps the most difficult of all our tasks, the ultimate, the last test and proof, the work for which all other work is but preparation.
There’s no better way to test a person than to put them in the middle of a war. That’s clearly going to show what kind of a character you’re telling a story about.
Beauty is the first test: there is no permanent place in the world for ugly mathematics.
The mountains seem to have conquered us long before we set foot on them, and they will remain long after our brief existence. This indomitable force of the mountains gives us humans a blank canvas on which to paint the drive of discovery and, in the process, test the limits of human performance.
I feel that if you shelter your kids from everything, one day they are going to be out in the world on their own, and they are going to have to figure it out. You can’t give them a test if you never taught them anything that’s on the test. They’re going to fail.
