‘Design’ is a word that’s come to mean so much that it’s also a word that has come to mean nothing.
A lot of great things are going on. In many ways, the past 30 years have been the best in world history. But we can do much better. I prefer the word hope over optimism.
My whole thing is loyalty. Loyalty over royalty; word is bond.
Design is a funny word. Some people think design means how it looks. But of course, if you dig deeper, it’s really how it works.
It is a damn poor mind indeed which can’t think of at least two ways to spell any word.
‘Hiraeth’ means homesickness to a home to which you cannot return: the grief of the lost places of your past. I fell in love with the word and instantly connected to it. It reminded me of the days when I had left my home in Gwalior, and I had that strange pull in my stomach, and now I can so relate to this word.
We in the U.A.E. have no such word as ‘impossible’; it does not exist in our lexicon. Such a word is used by the lazy and the weak, who fear challenges and progress.
‘Worry’ is a word that I don’t allow myself to use.
My word is my word, and my word is good.
One word from the Lord is like a piece of gold to a believer, who is like a jeweler, shaping and hammering out the promise for a number of weeks.
In God’s world, for those who are in earnest, there is no failure. No work truly done, no word earnestly spoken, no sacrifice freely made, was ever made in vain.
Religion doesn’t play any part in my life in terms of how I live my life. But I don’t think I’ve ever gone through a day in my life without hearing someone say the word ‘Jew’ or saying it myself.
It is a coincidence that Mathangi is the Goddess of Music and the spoken word, which can be rap.
I’m shy, paranoid, whatever word you want to use. I hate fame. I’ve done everything I can to avoid it.
A broken bone can heal, but the wound a word opens can fester forever.
As a writer, that moment every few years when I buy a new laptop and find out that all the word processing stuff has slightly changed again (stuff I spend every working day using) is like getting into bed at night and finding some mad robot where you expected your wife to be.
I would go to the deeps a hundred times to cheer a downcast spirit. It is good for me to have been afflicted, that I might know how to speak a word in season to one that is weary.
Even a happy life cannot be without a measure of darkness, and the word happy would lose its meaning if it were not balanced by sadness. It is far better take things as they come along with patience and equanimity.
It is violence when we use a sharp word, when we make a gesture to brush away a person. So violence isn’t merely organized butchery in the name of God, in the name of society or country. Violence is much more subtle, much deeper.
Well I have a microphone and you don’t so you will listen to every damn word I have to say!
Beethoven was a deeply political man in the broadest sense of the word. He was not interested in daily politics, but concerned with questions of moral behaviour and the larger questions of right and wrong affecting the entire society.
Word of mouth is the best medium of all.
We need no fanciful teaching regarding the personality of God. What God desires us to know of Him is revealed in His word and His works. The beautiful things of nature reveal His character and His power as Creator.
We think about democracy, and that’s the word that Americans love to use, ‘democracy,’ and that’s how we characterize our system. But if democracy just means going to vote, it’s pretty meaningless. Russia has democracy in that sense. Most authoritarian regimes have democracy in that sense.
The most heroic word in all languages is revolution.
For me, one of the toughest things about Valentine’s Day is that it gets geared up as the day to profess your love. See, T-E-S-T – that’s a bad word that doesn’t go with L-O-V-E.
Europe has what we do not have yet, a sense of the mysterious and inexorable limits of life, a sense, in a word, of tragedy. And we have what they sorely need: a sense of life’s possibilities.
One of the things that goes with getting older is that one becomes more conservative – and I emphasise that when I use the word conservative I do not mean politically.
It’s no coincidence that the word ‘holiday’ suggests a holy day, or that the longest book in the Torah concerns the Sabbath. If you wish to advance in any sphere, the best way is to take a retreat.
I find Cambridge an asylum, in every sense of the word.
If the word has the potency to revive and make us free, it has also the power to blind, imprison, and destroy.
I cannot imagine not working. I don’t understand the word ‘retirement.’
Music is a means of spreading the good word and spreading positivity and productivity. Those things speak to me.
Anyone that thinks ‘pop’ is a dirty word is living in the ’90s.
Widow. The word consumes itself.
I don’t want to feel like I’ve matured. That’s a stupid word that I never want to use.
In one word, this ideal is that you are divine.
I had pro offers from the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers, who were pretty hard up for linemen in those days. If I had gone into professional football the name Jerry Ford might have been a household word today.
I don’t think the Internet is necessarily a dangerous place. It’s only dangerous if you don’t make people earn your trust. You can’t take people at their word. You got to do a little digging and make sure to verify that you are talking to a real person or the person that you think you’re talking to.
As you read or listen to God’s Word and spend time talking to Him in prayer, your spirit will eventually become stronger than your flesh.
The thing is, acoustic could be like a four-letter word to a lot of kids.
When you say ‘design,’ everybody thinks of magazine pages. So it’s an emotive word. Everybody thinks it’s how something looks, whereas for me, design is pretty much everything.
Always aim at complete harmony of thought and word and deed. Always aim at purifying your thoughts and everything will be well.
What a word is truth. Slippery, tricky, unreliable. I tried in these books to tell the truth.
What’s funny is that the idea of popularity – even the use of the word ‘popular’ – is something that had been mostly absent from my life since junior high. In fact, the hallmark of life after junior high seemed to be the shedding of popularity as a central concern.
Systematic theology – be careful how you tie down the Word to fit your set and final creeds, systems, dogmas, and organized theistic philosophies! The Word of God is not bound! It’s free to say what it will to the individual, and no one can outline it into dispensations which cannot be broken.
I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff.
If you do build a great experience, customers tell each other about that. Word of mouth is very powerful.
My mother was a Bohemian – in the good sense of the word. A searcher. And she investigated various religions.
At Cornell University, my professor of European literature, Vladimir Nabokov, changed the way I read and the way I write. Words could paint pictures, I learned from him. Choosing the right word, and the right word order, he illustrated, could make an enormous difference in conveying an image or an idea.
Negroes’ problem is that they do not have their egos. That’s why our churches end up having a white service, because our preacher is not arrogant enough to take God’s word, so he have to go and get some white fellow’s agenda and put it in his church.
I grew up in a tough neighborhood and we used to say you can get further with a kind word and a gun than just a kind word.
‘Disruption’ is, at its core, a really powerful idea. Everyone hijacks the idea to do whatever they want now. It’s the same way people hijacked the word ‘paradigm’ to justify lame things they’re trying to sell to mankind.
Regret is a short, evocative and achingly beautiful word: an elegy to lost possibilities even in its brief annunciation.
I utter this word with deepest affection and from the very bottom of my heart.
Many a friendship, long, loyal, and self-sacrificing, rested at first on no thicker a foundation than a kind word.
I discovered that no revival comes if we don’t preach the Word of God under the anointing of the Holy Spirit. If we only have the Great Commission and only the Holy Spirit, we have power without purpose, or purpose without power. It is a package deal, and that is what God honors.
And it’s all just from word of mouth. No big marketing. That means the folk who come to the gigs are there ’cause they love their tunes. That means it’s real.
I had a speech class in elementary school. And you know how teachers, when a kid is struggling to pronounce a word, used to lead him and say, ‘Johnny, sounds like… ? Johnny, sounds like… ?’ I said out loud, ‘Sounds like Johnny can’t read.’ Teacher told me to leave the room.
Where lipstick is concerned, the important thing is not color, but to accept God’s final word on where your lips end.
