Knowing the team is in your corner is comforting.
Webster and I are very aloof. The two of us go and sit there by ourselves. I sit by myself in the corner with my book and the newspaper. He kind of runs around a little bit, and then he goes and sits on top of the picnic table. He never plays with other little dogs.
And when I won Miss Universe, I got a global platform, which gave me a louder voice to be able to reach more women from every corner of the world. No matter where we live, our circumstances or how we grew up, we want to feel love, we want to feel cared for, and we want to feel powerful.
I’m never going to be one of these players who dribbles past three and bends it into the top corner from 25 yards. That’s not me.
One thing I noticed working in the Bronx is that leaders come in the craziest places. They don’t always show up at community board meetings. Sometimes it’s just the guys on the corner that the boys on the block respect.

If I had written something, and I had written myself into a corner, I didn’t abandon it. Because I remembered: There’s always more.
Contempt is the only asymmetrical expression in the muscular facial system: Disgust, fear, happiness, surprise and anger typically express themselves symmetrically. Contempt is marked by one lip corner pulled up and in a dismissive sneer.

Still round the corner there may wait, A new road or a secret gate.
I’ve been humbled by the strong support and deeply moved by the positive response from folks in every corner of North Carolina who agree we need new leadership.
Anyone can wear glitter, even a woman in her 60s. It’s all about techniques. Instead of applying glitter all over the face, you can just add a little to the inner corner of your eyes or on your brow bone, or even on your Cupid’s bow. It just adds this magical element to your makeup.
Most of the things we decide are not what we know to be the best. We say yes, merely because we are driven into a corner and must say something.

Everything gradually comes to an end or there’s a new challenge around the corner.
I married somebody who is very secure. He’s been in my corner from the time we met, and we grew in this together.
I always wanted to get married. I was very drawn to the idea of a partner with whom you went through life, a mate who was always in your corner.
The most common way to crash coming out of a corner is to highside – which is where you accelerate out of the corner, and the rear loses grip, then suddenly finds grip and chucks you off the bike.
My mum says I was the best kid ever; you could put me in a corner with a box of paints and I’d be happy for hours. They’d say, ‘Lynne, Lynne,’ and I wouldn’t hear them.
Notting Hill is a very different carnival from anywhere else. This is an international city, so it represents everybody. You walk around every corner here, you’ll hear something new. It’s awesome.
The ethos on Wall Street has not changed, and that’s not going to come from the corner office. That’s going to come, for better or worse, from Washington, and the whole idea of greed is still good, that is still pervasive.
The news media tends to act like the kids on a young soccer team. We all follow the ball as it moves from one side of the field to the next – like a kids’ soccer game. And the kid who ends up scoring a goal was the one who’s off to the corner by himself just waiting for the opportunity.
We have these weapons of mass destruction on every street corner, and they’re called donuts, cheeseburgers, French fries, potato chips, junk food. Our kids are living on a junk food diet.
I’ve been trying to understand conflict and violence ever since I was a kid. You know. There were a few things that happened even on my block – the Black Panthers used to be right around the corner from where we were.
I took ‘Grease’ to play my trump card, my voice, and get attention that would lead to auditions for serious work like ‘Angels in America.’ But I backed myself into a corner with ‘Grease,’ and it took me 17 years to get out.
It’s not a bad thing for a writer not to feel at home. Writers – we’re much more comfortable at parties standing in the corner watching everybody else having a good time than we are mingling.
Knowing that there is a community of people on every corner of this planet that believes in justice, that is willing to sacrifice, and that is willing to take a stand is the most heartening thing.
I think we all have our own personality, unique and distinctive, and at the same time, I think that our own unique and distinctive personality blends with the wind, with the footsteps in the street, with the noises around the corner, and with the silence of memory, which is the great producer of ghosts.
I love The Inn at Palmetto Bluff, an Auberge Property in Bluffton, South Carolina. It’s a spectacular corner of the world, with massive old trees lined with Spanish moss, and alligators swimming in the river.
Call it loyalty, call it what you want, but I suppose I’ve got people up here who I’m really tight with, we’ve made a lot of great bonds over the last few years and I’ve got people in my corner I can trust.
I’ve always loved life, and I’ve never known what’s ahead. I love not knowing what might be round the corner. I love serendipity.
It’s tough being a small player. You don’t want to be known as a guy who goes into the corner and loses 50 percent of the battles.
I don’t feel superior because I think there’s no God. Actually, I would love to be able to go, ‘Well, the world hasn’t been kind to me, but there’s something good around the corner, because the Man has a plan.’ I wish I believed that. There’s wonderful comfort in that.
We’ve heard a lot in recent polemic about how to win the fight for the corner office. But pushing up against a glass ceiling is practically a luxury when you consider the millions of women who can feel the floor dropping beneath their feet.
Any time as a corner you feel like you’re in good position and the ball’s still coming, you don’t understand why, but you don’t care at that point. You just want to catch the ball and hold up your end of the bargain if they throw it to you.
What I do for a living is whimsical and fun and ridiculous. I’m supposed to make people laugh. We all have that child in us. For many people, that child gets pushed into a corner. But if you want to be creative, that little kid can never go away.
Death is always around the corner, but often our society gives it inordinate help.
I’m not going to put my music up on some little corner of the Internet or give it away for free. What does that do? That’s just giving up. I’m not giving up, ever.
I’m the best corner in the game!
If, as the emperor Augustus says, from his time the coast of the ocean from Cadiz to the mouth of the Elbe obeyed the Romans, the obedience in this corner of it was far from voluntary and little to be trusted.
Would I get into politics? I’ll just say what I tell people when they ask me this: Pray that everyday citizens like me aren’t pushed to that corner.
I don’t see myself racing at 50 years old. I enjoy racing, and that has been my whole life. But one day I will take time to look at other things. I know that everything has an end date, even life, and I also have a family and there are other things to enjoy than trying to be first into the corner and fastest out.
One winter, I went to Erfoud to research trilobites and got to know the quarries, the dealers, and the remote mining villages. They are not easy places to visit, and this was a completely unknown corner of the world economy: children slaving away on desert cliffs to furnish wealthy collectors in San Francisco.
People abandon you because they can’t handle the depth and complexity of your experience, and that is ultimately a gift. It shows you what is important, who is important, and who is really, truly in your corner.
And then I went round the corner and there’s a Van Gogh portrait, and you just think, well, this is another level. A higher level, actually. I love the Sargent, but it’s not the level of Van Gogh.
If we don’t believe in Americans, who will? I do believe. I’ve seen it in the people of our very typical corner of the nation.
Ralph Reed is deeply ambitious and always was so. There was a time when he… in one of my interviews, he said he pondered running the Ross Perot campaign, and he wasn’t sure he wanted to do the Christian Right thing; he was worried that it boxed him into a corner.
I do like to hang out in the corner and keep my eye on the party, or be outside in a smaller group.
You never know what’s coming round the corner. There’s only one thing coming round the corner – more corners.
When I was 11 or 12 – a young boy in Japan – one of my older brothers took me to a sushi restaurant. I had never been to one, and it was very memorable. Back then, sushi was expensive and hard to come by, not like today, when there’s a sushi restaurant on every street corner and you can buy it in supermarkets.
