Moral persuasion over a period of time makes a difference, but we shouldn’t be naive to think that just because we raise it in a meeting it will make all those problems go away. It won’t and it doesn’t.
I think the fans of the old-school Internet shorts were a little bit older just because it was racier material.
I think I’m happier, not just because of winning Grammys and selling records, but because it’s really fulfilling to have all these things happen with something you love to do.
Just because we eat together does not mean we eat right: Domino’s alone delivers a million pizzas on an average day.
Holocaust survivors came to Israel in order to establish a new human society where nobody would be able to hurt them just because they’re Jewish. This is both a furious and vulnerable message.
Just because someone looks old doesn’t mean he or she is. The skin of some people who spend a lot of time outdoors seems to age very rapidly. Someone can look 80 or 90 and only be 40 to 50.
Just because I don’t smile a lot, people think, ‘Ah, yeah. He must have a bad attitude.’ But if you don’t know me, you don’t know me. That was the problem. My face is just serious!
In South, getting admission in SSN is not possible just because someone is my relative. One of the ministers said SSN is the only institution where I can’t get a seat for anyone. That’s true of Uttar Pradesh and Delhi governments, too.
Just because I was almost 62, I did not feel decrepit and felt I wasn’t finished being a soldier yet.

Just because I believed in what I was doing on the field and dedicated myself to playing the game, does that mean I’m cocky? Does that mean I’m arrogant?

Life is not always like chess. Just because you have the king surrounded, don’t think he is not capable of hurting you.

Just because you like one song from an artist, that doesn’t make you a fan.
Without transformation, you can assume you’re at a high moral, spiritual level just because you call yourself Lutheran or Methodist or Catholic. I think my great disappointment as a priest has been to see how little actual spiritual curiosity there is in so many people.
There really is no shortcut just because you have a name, or you have some kind of access or some way you can solve all the problems. And I think one of the things I learned with FUBU, you have to understand that there’s really only two ways of operating a business: more sales, or lower overhead.
I don’t put weight on fame, and having people around me just because I am famous makes me feel really bad about myself.

People are foolish if they think I’m going to lose my head and give up anything to anyone just because someone threatens me.
Just because it’s a break doesn’t mean it has to be fast all the time. It can be a secondary break, but you’ve got to allow the defense to break down.

I never write anything without humor, just because I like humor, but at the same time, it is a way for anything fantastical to become relatable.
I really believe that you grow up a certain way in New York. There’s a New York morality, a sense of loyalty. You know how to win and lose. There’s a thousand kids outside, you know who to push and who not to push. There’s a sixth sense you develop just because it’s New York.
Yes, films need to make their money back – it’s an expensive business, and people need to be paid for what’s involved – but just because you can, it doesn’t mean you should.
We have to set our own agenda, we have to set our own standards, we have to be very strong about what we want, we have to be very strong about our passion and if it’s not right for you, you shouldn’t do it just because you’re advised by so-called geniuses.
Just because you’re married doesn’t mean that you have to spend 24/7 together and can’t have separate interests and hobbies. In a healthy relationship, you both understand – and respect – that you need time apart doing what you want to do.
I’ve always thought that whether I’m writing or not, I’ve gotta pick the best songs, whether or not they’re mine. I’m not gonna sing them just because I wrote them. I’ve gotta find the best songs to make the best record I can.
Growing up in D.C. there are so many different types of educational and professional levels. They call D.C. ‘Chocolate City’ but just because we’re all chocolate doesn’t mean we’re all the same. In D.C., everyone co-exists harmoniously but the lines are still drawn. And people don’t really step over those lines.
I lost many friendships because of my wealth. When my friends met me, they had an agenda in mind. Just because I had money, they expected one thing or the other from me, which they didn’t before.
I grew up in Houston, and I remember we had separate drinking fountains, and black people sat in the balcony of the theater… We had an African-American housekeeper growing up who was really like my second mother. I thought it was silly – hatred just because of the color of somebody’s skin.
I can confirm that Poland should become a eurozone country, and not just because of the treaties that have been signed, but because I consider it of strategic interest both for Poland and the E.U.
For as long as the power of America’s diversity is diminished by acts of discrimination and violence against people just because they are black, Hispanic, Asian, Jewish, Muslim or gay, we still must overcome.
I’m so incredibly tired of giving respect to a lot of delusions and crazy ideas just because they are regarded as religions.
Just because something didn’t work out your way, or somebody disappointed you, that does not change who you are.
‘Can’t Get Closer’ I originally recorded in about half an hour, just on my bed with a microphone. I actually re-recorded the song with a cleaner vocal take, but I decided to leave the demo version on there, just because I felt that instant where it was created is what captured the most emotion.
Just because you have a good athletic background doesn’t make you necessarily a good wrestler. Because it takes a lot to be a good professional wrestler.
It’s funny, because there are so many stereotypes out there about actors and movie stars in general, but I’ve had a great opportunity to meet a lot of them, and maybe it’s just because they don’t behave that way around me, but I rarely see that kind of abuse of power.
Wisconsin’s kids shouldn’t be allowed to fail just because Washington is failing them.
The Beatles set the rules. And the rules were: now just because we have long hair doesn’t mean that we’re rebellious.
I personally feel I still have so much to learn as a writer; each novel is better than the one before, just because I’m getting better at it.
Collaboration is important not just because it’s a better way to learn. The spirit of collaboration is penetrating every institution and all of our lives. So learning to collaborate is part of equipping yourself for effectiveness, problem solving, innovation and life-long learning in an ever-changing networked economy.
I spent the majority of time at school trying to break the rules. I would climb to the top of buildings; I even burned a building down once – not intentionally, just because I was interested in fire. I remember going through the rule book, ticking off the ones I had broken and looking for the ones I hadn’t.
Whenever possible, I use local, fresh ingredients, just because it tastes and feels better to eat an egg or a tomato or a hamburger that wasn’t flown halfway around the world, that didn’t travel on a truck and get stuck in traffic jams, that hasn’t been sitting in a supermarket’s refrigerator case for days.
Just because we can’t find a solution it doesn’t mean that there isn’t one.
There must be an opportunity that matches with our strategy. Just because we have a gap, we don’t want to go and acquire anything and everything. What we acquire should fit in with our strategy, human resources and market expectations.
I have been in teen shows for years, so doing that stuff – kissing – is kind of commonplace and not a big deal. It was way more cool just because it was Meg Ryan.
