How can you prove whether at this moment we are sleeping, and all our thoughts are a dream; or whether we are awake, and talking to one another in the waking state?
Your problem is how you are going to spend this one odd and precious life you have been issued. Whether you’re going to spend it trying to look good and creating the illusion that you have power over people and circumstances, or whether you are going to taste it, enjoy it and find out the truth about who you are.
It’s not whether you win or lose, it’s how many people remember you when you die.
We are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion.
Yes, we believe in globalization and trade, but we also believe in you being able to benefit from that more. For too long, we progressives have seemed like part of the system. We need to start thinking about whether or not it’s delivering for us now.
It’s always good to change and keep things fresh, whether it’s a hairstyle or wardrobe.
The committee’s work is not about whether or how we should pay reparations. That was never the intent nor will the payment of reparations be the outcome. This is an effort designed to involve the campus community in a discovery of the meaning of our past.
People come in and out of our lives, and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other.
‘Do What You Gotta Do’ is a positive, inspirational song that says no matter what it is; whether you’re up against challenges or trying to get your dreams and aspirations met, you should do what whatever you have to do shy of killing yourself or someone else.
If you ask the fish whether they’d rather have an oil spill or a season of fishing, I wouldn’t be surprised if they’d vote for another blowout.
I also believe that you are what you have to defend, and if you’re a black man that’s always going to be the bar against which you are judged, whether you want to align yourself with those themes or not. You can think of yourself as a colourless person, but nobody else is gonna.
If I know you’re very good in music, I can predict with just about zero accuracy whether you’re going to be good or bad in other things.
Whether fighting or spitting, my discipline is unforgiving!
I try to live my life like my father lives his. He always takes care of everyone else first. He won’t even start eating until he’s sure everyone else in the family has started eating. Another thing: My dad never judges me by whether I win or lose.
The appeal of the Golden Age heroes for me is their simplicity, even their naivety – they represent the fundamental building blocks of the whole superhero genre, whether it’s a ‘super’ man able to lift cars, or a vigilante who terrorises criminals at night like Batman.
Getting the care for a common cold, migraine, or high blood pressure can and should be easy, whether one has an insurance card or not.
Nowadays the rage for possession has got to such a pitch that there is nothing in the realm of nature, whether sacred or profane, out of which profit cannot be squeezed.
I just like being me, and whether the people love me or hate me, that’s their own prerogative.
Chicago fans cheer and boo who they want. They’re great fans whether they like me or not. They show you how they feel. I don’t like crowds that sit on their hands.
With ‘Badlapur’, I wasn’t even thinking about casting. I was wondering whether any producer will want to make a film with a story like this. It is not your expected, feel-good, or even your regular thriller.
Everything is negotiable. Whether or not the negotiation is easy is another thing.
Whether a revolution succeeds or fails people of great hearts will always be sacrificed to it.
Whether I do an original film, a dance, or a remake of my dad’s hit songs, I have always been compared to him.
To this day, just always treat people the way you want to be treated. Whether it’s family or friends or co-workers, I think it’s the most important thing. Whether you have success or don’t have it, whether you’re a good person is all that matters.
Whether you be man or woman you will never do anything in this world without courage. It is the greatest quality of the mind next to honor.
Whether we call it religion or faith, we all battle for a balanced integrated soul.
Whether you are rich or poor, beautiful or ugly, young or old, cancer knows no boundaries.
The balloons only have one life and the only way of finding out whether they work is to attempt to fly around the world.
You’ve never seen me debate anybody. On anything. Ever. My investment of time, as an educator, in my judgment, is best served teaching people how to think about the world around them. Teach them how to pose a question. How to judge whether one thing is true versus another. What the laws of physics say.
I love the sounds and the power of pounding water, whether it is the waves or a waterfall.
Once upon a time there was a Queen who had a son so ugly and so misshapen that it was long disputed whether he had human form. A fairy who was at his birth said, however, that he would be very amiable for all that, since he would have uncommon good sense.

Do not trouble yourself much to get new things, whether clothes or friends… Sell your clothes and keep your thoughts.
I would suggest the taxation of all property equally, whether church or corporation, exempting only the last resting place of the dead and possibly, with proper restrictions, church edifices.
Every form of addiction is bad, no matter whether the narcotic be alcohol or morphine or idealism.
The mindset that I have on every project I take on is, ‘How do I make this interesting enough for me to want to stop and look at it?’ So in that regard, what I do behind the camera, whether it’s still or motion picture, is the same.
Whether you’ve seen angels floating around your bedroom or just found a ray of hope at a lonely moment, choosing to believe that something unseen is caring for you can be a life-shifting exercise.
The measure of choosing well, is, whether a man likes and finds good in what he has chosen.
A great restaurant is one that just makes you feel like you’re not sure whether you went out or you came home and confuses you. If it can do both of those things at the same time, you’re hooked.
I think like a Silicon Valley entrepreneur. Failure is a great teacher. At the same time, you must remember, success will never last… Whether it’s tech or fashion, it must be for the customer.
Whether women are better than men I cannot say – but I can say they are certainly no worse.
Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.
When you’re that successful, things have a momentum, and at a certain point you can’t really tell whether you have created the momentum or it’s creating you.
A writer of fiction lives in fear. Each new day demands new ideas, and he can never be sure whether he is going to come up with them or not.
Whether anyone has ever changed their mind as a result of a celebrity endorsement of a candidate is a bit of a mystery.
And as a director, you make 1,000 decisions a day, mostly binary decisions: yes or no, this one or that one, the red one or the blue one, faster or slower. And it’s the culmination of those decisions that define the tone of the film and whether or not it moves people.
It is an open question whether any behavior based on fear of eternal punishment can be regarded as ethical or should be regarded as merely cowardly.
Mother Earth needs us to keep our covenant. We will do this in courts, we will do this on our radio station, and we will commit to our descendants to work hard to protect this land and water for them. Whether you have feet, wings, fins, or roots, we are all in it together.
I take inspiration from so many places. I think, more than anything, it would have to be the music made by others that I’ve then fallen in love with, whether it’s Madonna, Blood Orange, Fleetwood Mac, or Pink Floyd!
Once you get on the playing field it’s not about whether you’re liked or not liked. All that matters is to play at a high level and do whatever it takes to help your team win. That’s what it’s about.

I claim for Canada this, that in future Canada shall be at liberty to act or not act, to interfere or not interfere, to do just as she pleases, and that she shall reserve to herself the right to judge whether or not there is cause for her to act.
Biology sets the context, and that is critical, but obesity still boils down to whether a person eats too much or exercises enough.
Everything I do, I do it with the hope that people will watch it more than twice. Whether it’s ‘Pan’s Labyrinth’ or ‘Pacific Rim’ or the opening of ‘The Simpsons,’ I do it with that hope.
In my view, the biggest investment risk is not the volatility of prices, but whether you will suffer a permanent loss of capital. Not only is the mere drop in stock prices not risk, but it is an opportunity. Where else do you look for cheap stocks?
