There are a lot of guys who average a lot of points, but they make the game hard for themselves, and they make the game hard for their teammates, and that’s why you never really see them win or get deep in the playoffs.
Looking at the world from other species’ points of view is a cure for the disease of human self-importance. You suddenly realize that consciousness – which we value and we consider the crowning achievement of nature, human consciousness – is really just another set of tools for getting along in the world.
When I brought home a 98 percent on a test, my father would say, ‘Ah, ah, where are the other two points? Go and get them, then bring them back.’ My father and Nigerian culture has always stood for excellence.
I could be shooting myself in the foot, but in some ways, I feel I’ve said all I’ve needed to say when to comes to, say, the ‘X-Men.’ I think I’ve hit the bright points, I think I’ve hit what I wanted to hit, and I can be happy moving on doing other things.
So much of what we get on our news debate shows is really people spinning one way or the other, giving their talking points one way or the other.
Between 2018 and 2020, I contemplated giving up the sport at various points.
I don’t think people go to musicians for their political points of view. I think your political point of view is circumstances and then how you were nurtured and brought up.

Once you are on court, it doesn’t matter the way you look. It doesn’t help you win points.
Being surrounded by diverse points of view pushes us beyond our comfort zones. And when people and teams bring multiple perspectives and experiences to the table, the discussions are deeper, the decision-making process is better, and the solutions are stronger.
Songwriting’s a weird game. I never intended to become one – I fell into this by mistake, and I can’t get out of it. It fascinates me. I like to point out the rawer points of life.
We can score political points. We can try to advance some important initiatives. But at some point, it takes sober-minded, responsible conservative leaders to identify when you’ve pushed as far as you can and to have the courage to go back and face the electorate and explain to them why you voted the way you did.
We’ve clearly seen that Tea Party Republicans are willing to take our economy hostage just to score political points, but I’m not willing to do that.
I cannot illustrate huge differences between male and female spiritualities except in their starting points, style and fascinations along the way. This is significant, however, and has huge pastoral implications: men must be challenged in the world of doing; women must be challenged in the world of relating.
There have been points in my life as an artist where I have wanted to capture people’s attention, probably to compensate for times when I felt invisible.
Some movies I see today have the most dramatic plot points but the actors are not playing them dramatically.
All men are liable to error; and most men are, in many points, by passion or interest, under temptation to it.
Our points of reference in America aren’t steeped in literature; they’re steeped in that five minutes between commercials.
English people are famous for never speaking out but only saying what they really feel about you behind your back. Americans believe the shortest distance between two points is a straight line. I like exploring those, er, differences in national snippiness.
I prefer the word ‘journeyman’ to ‘journalist’ because I think that certainly, when you hear a story, you want to hear certain facts. But I also think what makes a story interesting is the points of view expressed therein.
The American people are smart. They’ve gotten sick of the predictable hyperpartisan talking points and canned anger.
The battle for freedom and liberty really never is over, and there are really low points in it, but I’m not giving up, and I’m not gonna engage in phony pep talks, either.
I feel I can win the game without scoring 30 points.
Scoring a lot of points is great when you win, but when you lose it doesn’t matter.
I worked on one speech about the financial system that caused the Dow to drop, like, 200 points.
When you’re 20 years old and you’re making points with volume and dynamism, it’s a fantastic thing to do.
I don’t like sports where it’s like, you watch a guy on a motorcycle flip or something, then another guy does it, it looks exactly the same, and then at the end one guy gets higher points! It seems so arbitrary; I don’t know who’s ahead ever.
It is true – maybe with five or seven points more, I could be five times world champion. But on the other hand, I could have zero world championships, and zero wins or zero podiums, because F1 is an extremely competitive environment. So I just take the positives, and I am happy with my achievements.
We’ve all watched hundreds of movies from characters’ points of view that are not our own. That’s part of the gift movies give us.
I’m open to comments. I’m open to objective points of view, because I’ve been very narrow and very subjective.
As a Third World citizen, I always feel that I need to express my point of view. Sometimes the points of view of Third World countries are never expressed. We don’t have that possibility, sometimes, to spread what we feel and how we see things.
Tolerance, openness to argument, openness to self-doubt, willingness to see other people’s points of view – these are very liberal and enlightened values that people are right to hold, but we can’t allow them to delude us to the point where we can’t recognise people who are needlessly perpetrating human misery.
I don’t care if it’s a Cole Porter song, or George Gershwin, or Lennon/McCartney, or Elton John, or you know, whoever, Bob Dylan. Great songs are great songs, and they stand the test of time, and they can be interpreted and recorded with many points of view, but yet still retain the essence of what makes them good songs.
Reddit is a network where someone with a million karma points has an equal shot as someone with 10 karma points to hit the #1 post or comment.
The train’s always full of football fans going up to see matches. Oh, they make sure I hear their points of view all right. They all want to have their say about their team, and make their opinions known.
There were points I wanted to stop acting. We got so busy and didn’t get to see our friends a lot, and I was like, ‘Wow, I’m kind of over this.’ But then we started really having fun on ‘The Suite Life.’
I lost a lot of judo matches because of points fighters. It was extremely frustrating for me.
Dick Clark was a really great influence in my career; he helped me a lot with his whole organization, and they were awesome to me at all different points – but one thing that I really disagreed with him on was when he said that what I do, pop music, is a disposable art form.
My favorite shot is always gonna be the forehand. It used to always be my favorite shot when I was young, so it’s the one I’ve won all the points with.
He is the best sailor who can steer within fewest points of the wind, and exact a motive power out of the greatest obstacles.
Nerve cells communicate with one another at specialized points called synapses. And these synapses are plastic – they can be modified by learning.
You have to appreciate the finer points of your work; criticise, too, if needed. I am also my own worst and most honest critic. I can say things which nobody will ever dare say. Even the best of friends will stop at a point, whereas I can go beyond.
I think, mainly, you always look to keep your strong points in the team.
That’s the purpose of creative stuff: when you really love what you do, you have to know at some point, or points, you’re not going to be good at it. That’s just the process of learning. I can edit it and try to be as perfect as I can, but I’m still going to have my vulnerable spots and my weaknesses.
First of all, the Jewish religion has a great deal in common with the Christian religion because, as Rabbi Gillman points out in the show, Christianity is based on Judaism. Christ was Jewish.

One of the points in which I was especially interested was the Jim Crow regulations, that is, the system of separation of the races in street cars and railroad trains.
Israel’s foreign policy has three points: the relationship with the U.S., the relationship with the U.S., and the relationship with the U.S.
In discussing the process with the actors, I made it clear to them that they could improvise but that the sum total of their improvisation needed to impart certain plot points, and schematic material.
I’m a decent table tennis player, but if you were to put me up against any of the guys you see on television at the Olympics, I’d be lucky to get a couple of points.
