If the award comes with a check, then I want that award. But if it doesn’t come with a check, then I’m not that interested. I’d much rather join NASCAR and get a trophy and a check.
Every sect is a moral check on its neighbour. Competition is as wholesome in religion as in commerce.
Power always has to be kept in check; power exercised in secret, especially under the cloak of national security, is doubly dangerous.
It’s too hard a life for me. I could only do it – check out in that sense – if I checked out somewhere that was luxurious and within hailing distance of civilization.
Paris is a Roach Motel for top American journalists: They check in, having won the plum foreign posting, but never leave.

I have learned how to say no, and I have to check myself all the time. I’m not great at it still. Women get criticized a lot more for saying no than men do.
Carpe per diem – seize the check.
You have to check out ‘March of the Penguins’. Penguins are the really ideal example of monogamy.
When you use the language of ‘fact checking’ to talk about a film, I think you’re sort of fundamentally misunderstanding how art works. You don’t fact check Monet’s ‘Water Lilies.’ That’s not what water lilies look like; that’s what the sensation of experiencing water lilies feel like. That’s the goal of the piece.
My plan for the online version of ‘Famous Monsters’ is to become an online ‘uncle’ to an entire group of people who have never read or heard of ‘Famous Monsters of Filmland.’ The site will not be written in a scholarly fashion. It will be written in a playful, ‘Hey, check this out!’ kind of way.
When I travel abroad, because I’m Columbian, I’m always one that they check twice and security and I’m the one that they open my bag and the one they pull to the side to check the visa.
I think someone in the union has the right to a private vote, and that’s why I’m anti-card check. I grew up in a union family. My grandfather was a coal miner; he was in the union.
If you are a journalist, check and double-check your sources. Don’t just swallow what politicians tell you.
There were only a couple of Marvel characters I read. I read ‘Iron Man.’ I have a lot of those. And this was the time they tried X-Factor out. I was never an X-Men person, but I was like, ‘Let me check out X-Factor.’ I was more of a DC guy in general.
I gotta admit, when you’ve been doing this a long time, going out to the audience and asking for them to help out with crowdfunding, it’s a gut check. You never know how that’s gonna turn out. Luckily for us, it turned out well.
If you’re into a leather-jacketed crime fighter and his artificially intelligent robotic supercar, tune into ‘The Good Wife.’ If, on the other hand, you prefer the misadventures of a freelance itinerant trucker and his simian sidekick, check out ‘The Walking Dead.’ Or DVR them both and go talk to your family.
It’s just like, you make a goal list – you write your goals down, you check it off once you get there and you make a new one.
Before Eminem, the idea that there would be a white rapper that anybody would really check for was fantastic or amazing or impossible.
When I drive, I check out everything I see, and just taking in all those observations helps me think. So I draw and write a lot as I drive, and I know that’s dangerous, but I manage to do it off to the side, with my notes on the seat.
Hank Williams, Hank Jr. and myself, if you check your history, you’ll see that they’ve always played in rowdy environments. Part of that is a lot of people are coming to forget their problems and not being told what to do for a couple of hours and not try to have anything sold to them or pushed on them.
There’s something really magical about having a child – it’s like permission to begin again, start over, reevaluate some things, check yourself. Recognize yourself.
Nobody in this country is on Social Security because they made the decision when they were starting work at 14 that they wanted to trust some of their money with the government. The government took it out of their check whether they wanted them to or not.
There can only be one government, and the president has certain roles and duties, which are to hold the second key on money and on people but not to go and check the government or tell the government what it is supposed to do.
The limit is not as narrow as it might be. I do not claim for this action, as it now goes on, an ideal degree of efficiency. What I do claim is that this type of competition already reveals its nature and its ultimate power to hold seeming monopolies in check.
When I was a kid, my parents would play badminton, but I hardly joined them. I’d just pick up their racquets and fiddle around. Check out how the racquet was made… toss it around to see how light it was! At the time, I didn’t even know I’d play badminton.
None of the jazz greats made music for the purpose of you going to check out music before them. Michael Jackson didn’t make music so you could go check out Sam Cooke.
You have to make sure you have a relatable emotion through the movie. You have to check your ego and go into a territory and recognize that nobody knows you. You go back again and again, and by the third time, you are a star.
As long as somebody ‘CTC,’ at the end of the day I’m with them. For all you that don’t know what CTC means, that’s ‘Cut The Check.’
When buying beauty products, I always check the ingredients. The product should be sourced from natural ingredients. It should have not been tested on animals, as I am against animal testing, and it should be soft on the skin.
I like to go back over history and check out what people have written and whether I agree with it or not.
The media’s gotten lazy. They don’t check anything out. You report what he reports.
When you check into a hotel, they don’t need to know your name and address; they just need to know that the bill will be paid. People should ask questions.
You can so easily be dismissed as a thug or hysterical if you’re a woman if you don’t keep your rage in check.
I travel very light. I never want to check a bag. My only standards are a few sets of clothes, my white sneakers, my blue backpack, and my laptop. I don’t have any special things otherwise.
Absolutely, there’s still a place for smaller guards. This is the time for it, really. You can’t hand check, you can get your space wherever you want, plus you can create your own opportunities.
I played with a band, and the lead singer would always introduce me as ‘the 13-year-old lead guitarist.’ I didn’t want to be a novelty, like ‘Oh, she has three arms! Check her out.’ But I’ve learned to accept it as more of a compliment.
I used to read music books when I was 13. My mom was working at a library. She’s a librarian. I would get my mom to check out any kind of books that had anything to do with the music industry. I read a lot about royalities, publishing, marketing, stuff like that.
I’m a planner, an organizer. I write things down because you can visually check them off and see progress. Writing things down is a lost art. I’ve got sticky notes all over my apartment.
If you want to own the power of God at your waist belt, you should have a background check. If you are a domestic violence abuser, convicted, you should not have a gun where you could snuff out the lives of your loved ones.
I want to hire guys that fit that mold; I want guys where it’s about the Philadelphia Eagles first, that check their egos at the door.
I presented a bill that will address a glaring loophole that allows gun buyers to bypass a background check by purchasing guns as kits. These kits allow anyone to purchase a totally untraceable firearm. The act simply says these weapons should be regulated like other firearms and require background checks.
I am protecting my personal life because for me, that’s my sanctity. When I am done with shooting and home, that’s my reality check.
Banks will fee you to death. If you bounce a check, the bank has a policy to re-post the check three more times to see if it will be paid. If it continues to bounce they charge a $30 overdraft every time. So, one bounced check will rack up $90 for the bank.
You don’t want to come out with anything that’s wrong, of course, in a scientific, you know, a major scientific announcement, and so you’re being so careful trying to check, well maybe it’s this, maybe it’s that, you’re looking at every possible thing.
It is a president’s constitutional right to nominate a Supreme Court justice, and it is the Senate’s constitutional right to act as a check on a president and withhold its consent.
When shooting exploding rifle targets, check with local and state laws.
Team members have to hold each other accountable. If there’s a meeting, all members have to commit to be present and to help one another; they can’t just check out when they feel they’re not getting any benefits.
Who creates a fake page? If I want to respond to a person on social media, it has to come from my page with the verified check on it.
It’s scary to become a woman in this world. We have to understand that some of the messages we get, messages that we are not enough, are there to keep our power in check. We can’t buy into these messages.
