There’s the push and pull you put on yourself and the push and pull the world puts on you. Most of the time, the world’s going to win out, because it’s just logical that you should be more successful and more motivated. You can always be more.
People think that human beings have gotten worse, that because of the pressures that modern society puts on us, we’ve gotten worse, and we’ve gotten capable of doing more terrible things. I don’t know if I necessarily think that that’s true.
Failure to deport aliens who are convicted for criminal offenses puts whole communities at risk – especially immigrant communities in the very sanctuary jurisdictions that seek to protect the perpetrators.
Missing a game or getting a little bit of a bump up or getting a scolding once in a while puts everybody in their right place.
The moon puts on an elegant show, different every time in shape, colour and nuance.
It has always been my private conviction that any man who puts his intelligence up against a fish and loses had it coming.
If I would be happy, I would be a very bad ball player. With me, when I get mad, it puts energy in my body.
I usually stick out my hand and hope he puts the ball in it. Except the one time I went out to take Early Wynn out. I stuck out my hand and he hit me right in the stomach with the ball.
If we give our children sound self-love, they will be able to deal with whatever life puts before them.
One of the metaphors that I use for start-ups is, you throw yourself off a cliff and assemble your airplane on the way down. If you don’t solve the right problem at the right time, that’s the end. Mortality puts priorities into sharp focus.
In the Christian faith, God really puts suffering front and center. He doesn’t get squeamish about it.
The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.
Being a father now puts life in perspective. My whole life it’s all been about trying to win. And now I’m trying to make a better life for my son than I’ve had.
And I think the more money you put in people’s hands, the more they will spend. And if they don’t spend it, they invest it. And investing it is another way of creating jobs. It puts money into mutual funds or other kinds of banks that can go out and make loans, and we need to do that.
When everything is perfectly orderly and understandable, there has to be one thing that puts everything into question.
We’ve gone from a preponderance of acute and infectious disease as a source of premature death to chronic diseases, which are the preponderance of the burden of illness in most of the world. That puts a much higher premium on the prevention of chronic disease than ever in history.
I realise that surviving in the film industry is not an easy job, but if one puts one’s heart and soul into one’s work, anything is possible.
The scariest thing in my life is the first morning of production on all my movies. It’s the fear of failing, the loss of face, and a sense of guilt that everybody puts their faith in you and not coming through.
We are not a single-issue party that puts abstract policy ahead of the working lives of people. We are not bitter, frightened xenophobes.
Getting a tear in my ACL in 2012 puts a lot of things in perspective about being able to play the game.
God puts pack rats together with non-pack rats.
I’ve played in some pretty weird settings; busking puts you in all kinds of situations. I can tell you the most depressing gig I’ve played was in the North of England. At that time, I was playing with a band. We drove 7 or 8 hours to Carlisle to play a 600 – 700 capacity venue – 9 people showed up.
As always, we prepare for all sorts of contingencies. And the first few days of the flight up until docking on Day 3 are all spent really in the rendezvous because we launch at a time that puts us in an optimal position to catch up to station.
The question is: How do we reduce spending from 25% of GDP, which is where Obama put us? The focus is on total government spending. Can we bring it down, in a reasonable and politically acceptable way? That’s what the Paul Ryan plan does. It puts us on a gradual reform path to reducing the size of government.
I like to take a day off and enjoy fast food for what it is. I have to say that in New York, I’m really partial about taco trucks. I mean, I really can’t handle it. There is something about catching all those ingredients piled on top of each other: it puts me in a tizzy. I love it. I’m kind of a taco truck junkie.
War is hell. Sending young people to conflicts that are unwinnable and unresolvable – it puts them in a position where they’re going to suffer. And yet their experience is that they’re proud of their service, and they should be. Service freely rendered is a noble thing.
Bill Cosby is a famous black guy who has a bully pulpit the size of the world; it’s global. He puts his colossal foot on the vulnerable necks of poor people, and as a result of that, we don’t have a balanced conversation.
My little sister Kylie puts an amazing outfit together every day, and it just works for her. For me, it’s more like jeans, boots, maybe a jacket. Sometimes I get caught in my sweats.
I’m a huge fan of Drake. Anything he puts out is great to work out to.
If you aren’t free to protect yourself when the government puts its thumb on that freedom, then you’re not free at all.
I’m 65 and I guess that puts me in with the geriatrics. But if there were fifteen months in every year, I’d only be 48. That’s the trouble with us. We number everything. Take women, for example. I think they deserve to have more than twelve years between the ages of 28 and 40.
The left puts a lot of faith in a lot of people in the past that were dismal failures that they think are the greatest people who ever lived.
I’m a big fan of the Pre-Raphaelites. Millais, Edward Burne-Jones, and I realised recently that my music is Pre-Raphaelite in a certain way, in that it reinvents an older era and romanticises it, puts it in this gilded frame.
I think the biggest thing I’ve learned from my international experience is that it’s our systems that are different. People are the same everywhere. The system puts restraints on people. But they’re good and bad, generous and selfish everywhere.
The trend today is vampires, zombies, angels, all the stuff that puts me right to sleep. It’s too bad because it’s so much less interesting than the diversity of stories you can tell with science.
My music experience living in Baltimore was life-altering. To this day, there is no scene that works as hard or puts as much effort into their art.
A lot of people say I’m reckless and I take too many shots. I take shots on the forehead. There’s nothing wrong with that. It puts me in punching range.
My wife, she puts up with a lot: we’re training hard, you’re tired, you’re not eating a lot, so you get a bit grumpy, so she does put up with a lot – fair play.
Maybe I’ll put my iPod in two minutes before. But truly, I’ve listened to actors say that they loved to listen to music before a shot, and I really understand that now because it puts you in the mood and gives you energy.
I think that opening up on Twitter helps people see that there are things that I deal with that they can relate to. Maybe it’s not exactly the same as having a famous mom, but maybe their dad puts pressure on them to be a doctor, and they don’t want to be a doctor.
There’s a lot of things in my life that are more important I have to think about than what someone puts in the newspaper, or says on TV.
Being subjected to Islamophobic abuse makes integration less likely and amplifies the views of the extremists rather than the mainstream. It’s divisive and dangerous and puts British lives at risk.
Heavy pitchers can have bulky muscle that leads to decreased flexibility or carry extra fat that puts increased stress on the ligaments and tendons.
The Disney Channel puts out movies, like, every couple of months.
Economic inequality is a corrosive force that undermines economic growth, puts a brake on the fight against poverty, and sparks social unrest.
Just the fact that so many people around the world are showing their interest puts me in a good mood.
Coffee is a beverage that puts one to sleep when not drank.
Families in my community have seen their taxes go up because of the SALT deduction cap and as a result are questioning whether or not they can afford to live in New Jersey. The loss of the full SALT deduction puts an undue hardship on them.
Anyone who agrees to be interviewed must decide where to draw the line between what is public and what is private. But the line can shift, depending on who is asking the questions. What puts someone on guard isn’t necessarily the fear of being ‘found out.’ It sometimes is just the fear of being misunderstood.
God bless Skrillex. I love the kid, but he puts out a new video, what, every four weeks? I’m like the Dos Equis guy. I don’t normally do music videos, but when I do, I go big.
I credit my grandmother for my sense of style. She was known for wearing bright, outrageous things because it made people happy and she thought it made her more approachable. When you wear a brightly colored shirt or pants, it shows you don’t take yourself too seriously and it puts everyone around you at ease.
