Criticism may not be agreeable, but it is necessary. It fulfils the same function as pain in the human body. It calls attention to an unhealthy state of things.
I learned that we can do anything, but we can’t do everything… at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
The blood of the just will be demanded of London, burnt by fire in the year ’66. The ancient Lady will fall from her high place, and many of the same sect will be killed.
Most companies that go through layoffs are never the same. They don’t recover because trust is broken. And if you’re not honest at the point where you’re breaking trust anyway, you will never recover.
Bitcoin, in the short or even long term, may turn out be a good investment in the same way that anything that is rare can be considered valuable. Like baseball cards. Or a Picasso.

Today in the era of globalization there is no such issue as borders between states of the same nation.

When people divorce, it’s always such a tragedy. At the same time, if people stay together it can be even worse.
Finding your soul begins by discovering our ability to listen! Alternatively, by sharing a smile, a laugh and just by being human to everyone – from friends, colleagues, family, and especially strangers, including those who are not from the same station in life as you.
Loyalty and friendship, which is to me the same, created all the wealth that I’ve ever thought I’d have.
Culture makes people understand each other better. And if they understand each other better in their soul, it is easier to overcome the economic and political barriers. But first they have to understand that their neighbour is, in the end, just like them, with the same problems, the same questions.

It’s true; once you are a father, there’s no turning back. Your heart strings as well as your purse strings are never again the same.
You may say, ‘Well, dragons don’t exist.’ It’s, like, yes they do – the category ‘predator’ and the category ‘dragon’ are the same category. It absolutely exists. It’s a superordinate category. It exists absolutely more than anything else. In fact, it really exists.
You got to be careful mentioning people as great as Clint Eastwood. You can’t put me in the same sentence as that man.

Anthropology is the science which tells us that people are the same the whole world over – except when they are different.
The sun don’t shine on the same dog’s ass all the time.
Trust the young people; trust this generation’s innovation. They’re making things, changing innovation every day.

Love and dignity cannot share the same abode.
Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time.
You have no choice as a professional chef: you have to repeat, repeat, repeat, repeat until it becomes part of yourself. I certainly don’t cook the same way I did 40 years ago, but the technique remains. And that’s what the student needs to learn: the technique.
You wouldn’t try and make a cake without a recipe book. Careers are just the same.
As long as you’ve got your courage of conviction, it works for you. I think that the same applies, too, even where you don’t, because in today’s world, financial resources are the least important. World has moved to the power of ideas.
The same ambition can destroy or save, and make a patriot as it makes a knave.
Discipline is just doing the same thing the right way whether anyone’s watching or not.
The excursion is the same when you go looking for your sorrow as when you go looking for your joy.
I still DJ the same way, but I’m not a scratch-scratch-scratch battle DJ. No, I’ll rock the house. I’m old school.

I have lived and slept in the same bed with English countesses and Prussian farm women… no woman has excited passions among women more than I have.
Some people mistake grit for sheer persistence – charging up the same hill again and again. But that’s not quite what I mean by the word ‘grit.’ You want to minimize friction and find the most effective, most efficient way forward. You might actually have more grit if you treat your energy as a precious commodity.
I think when people mean that Discworld books have become darker they really mean the series is growing up. In ‘The Colour of Magic’ most of the city is set alight. It’s a joke, in much the same way that the Earth is destroyed almost at the start of Douglas Adams’s ‘The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy.’
I am a man who is noble. I have a good heart, but at the same time, I’m a little malicioso. There’s no way of hiding that side.
You have to learn every single day, and try not to make the same mistakes. That’s my mentality.
You don’t want a million answers as much as you want a few forever questions. The questions are diamonds you hold in the light. Study a lifetime and you see different colors from the same jewel.

Way down deep, we’re all motivated by the same urges. Cats have the courage to live by them.

All the small things matter. Communication. It doesn’t matter what you are doing. You have to be on the same page.
If you don’t like the word ‘religion,’ you can replace it with ‘ideology’ – it’s largely the same thing. At the heart of both religion and ideology is the question of authority and where authority is coming from.
Whatever my individual desires were to be free, I was not alone. There were many others who felt the same way.
The world would be happier if men had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.
The measure of success is not whether you have a tough problem to deal with, but whether it is the same problem you had last year.
Failed plans should not be interpreted as a failed vision. Visions don’t change, they are only refined. Plans rarely stay the same, and are scrapped or adjusted as needed. Be stubborn about the vision, but flexible with your plan.
I write for the same reason I breathe – because if I didn’t, I would die.
