I never made it on ‘Castle.’ I tried a few times, so I don’t know, but it never worked out.

Our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the government of any other.
There are still many causes worth sacrificing for, so much history yet to be made.

Before I had a double mastectomy, I was already pretty flat-chested, and I made so many jokes over the years about how small my chest was that I started to think that maybe my boobs overheard me… and were just like, ‘You know what? We’re sick of this. Let’s kill her.’
With an eye made quiet by the power of harmony, and the deep power of joy, we see into the life of things.
God made everything out of nothing, but the nothingness shows through.
Great industries are never made from single companies. There is room in space for a lot of winners.
I am what time, circumstance, history, have made of me, certainly, but I am also, much more than that. So are we all.
My story is one of ups and downs. It’s made up of tastes of success and a lot more rejection.

It takes more discipline than you might imagine to think, even for thirty seconds, in the noisy, confusing, high-pressure atmosphere of a film set. But a few seconds’ thought can often prevent a serious mistake being made about something that looks good at first glance.
A person who never made a mistake never tried anything new.
I think cinema, movies, and magic have always been closely associated. The very earliest people who made film were magicians.
I stayed on my own path and did not follow the herd. I made a way for myself.
We all have them, those parts of us that are the greatest parts of us and the worst parts of us. Sometimes we’re put in circumstances and bad choices are made.
I was taught that Jesus the Son of God was a white man, and hearing black people singing, ‘Lord, wash me, and I will be whiter than snow,’ made me sick.
Our life is made by the death of others.
Throughout history, it has been the inaction of those who could have acted; the indifference of those who should have known better; the silence of the voice of justice when it mattered most; that has made it possible for evil to triumph.
God had brought me to my knees and made me acknowledge my own nothingness, and out of that knowledge I had been reborn. I was no longer the centre of my life and therefore I could see God in everything.
Forgiveness is the answer to the child’s dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is made clean again.
A mathematician, like a painter or a poet, is a maker of patterns. If his patterns are more permanent than theirs, it is because they are made with ideas.
There was my name up in lights. I said, ‘God, somebody’s made a mistake.’ But there it was, in lights. And I sat there and said, ‘Remember, you’re not a star.’ Yet there it was up in lights.
If I were to try to read, much less answer, all the attacks made on me, this shop might as well be closed for any other business.
His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly’s wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.
The original version of ‘Nuthin’ but a ‘G’ Thang’ was made to a Boz Scaggs song; I can’t remember the name of the song.
Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.
From such crooked wood as that which man is made of, nothing straight can be fashioned.
Clothes and manners do not make the man; but, when he is made, they greatly improve his appearance.
Anything in any way beautiful derives its beauty from itself and asks nothing beyond itself. Praise is no part of it, for nothing is made worse or better by praise.
A mountain is composed of tiny grains of earth. The ocean is made up of tiny drops of water. Even so, life is but an endless series of little details, actions, speeches, and thoughts. And the consequences whether good or bad of even the least of them are far-reaching.
I grew up barefoot, dirty, climbing trees. It made me appreciate things more.
I believe in God, who made of one blood all nations that on earth do dwell. I believe that all men, black and brown and white, are brothers, varying through time and opportunity, in form and gift and feature, but differing in no essential particular, and alike in soul and the possibility of infinite development.
I cannot, or will not, take the freedoms this country offers for granted. But these freedoms have come with a price so many times. The sacrifices made by our veterans are reminders to us of this.
My maternal grandmother made fantastic ox tongue with velvety roasted potatoes. She cooked sweet red cabbage and lovely cauliflower with butter and bread crumbs.
I lived next to Russian soldiers. We had Russian army guys in our house when I grew up. We made lemonade for them; they were everywhere. I had a Russian school. I grew up with Russian traditions, I know Russian songs… it infiltrates me a lot. I even speak a little Russian.
I don’t cook very often but when I do I try and make Georgian food. I made a hinkali recently, which is like ravioli but is the size of your palm, with meat in the middle and thicker dough.

I ain’t going to sit here like, ‘My neighborhood was hard, and I had to get out there and grind.’ We made it hard for ourselves. We chose to stay on the streets.
Because Ritchie Valens WAS the real deal. He was only starting, but in the time he spent in the business, he made big impact. I don’t know if anybody could have made a bigger one.

Records are made to be broken.
It is impossible to get anything made or accomplished without stepping on some toes; enemies are inevitable when one is a doer.
This is how memories are made… by going with the flow.
Strong people are made by opposition like kites that go up against the wind.
Such as we are made of, such we be.
Caring for our seniors is perhaps the greatest responsibility we have. Those who walked before us have given so much and made possible the life we all enjoy.
A strong argument for the religion of Christ is this – that offences against Charity are about the only ones which men on their death-beds can be made – not to understand – but to feel – as crime.
I find that the best way to do things is to constantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward, if you make a mistake say you made a mistake.
