The real glory is being knocked to your knees and then coming back. That’s real glory. That’s the essence of it.

As we grow up, we realize it becomes less important to have a ton of friends and more important to have real ones.

If you’re a man, you don’t cry about it, you take life, the ups and downs; if you’re a real man you never go down, you just stay up!

Follow Christ for His own sake, if you follow Him at all. Be thorough, be real, be honest, be sound, be whole-hearted. If you have any religion at all, let your religion be real. See that you do not sin the sin of Lot’s wife.

Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

There is only one real misfortune: to forfeit one’s own good opinion of oneself. Lose your complacency, once betray your own self-contempt and the world will unhesitatingly endorse it

Obedience is the only reality. It is faith visible, faith acting, and faith manifest. It is the test of real discipleship among the Lord’s people.

Let us be real, honest, and sincere in our Christianity. We cannot deceive an all-seeing God.

It costs something to be a real Christian, according to the standard of the Bible. There are enemies to be overcome, battles to be fought, sacrifices to be made, an Egypt to be forsaken, a wilderness to be passed through, a cross to be carried, a race to be run. Conversion is not putting a person in an arm-chair and taking them easily to heaven. It is the beginning of a mighty conflict, in which it costs much to win the victory.

Keep it real by being straight forward. Don’t pull no punches on people. It’s better to tell somebody than just lollygag around, letting them think they’re living their life the right way. Because some people don’t know what the hell they’re doing, they don’t know if they’re living the right way or making the right decisions. Some people don’t know that.

It is good fiction, so largely ignored now, that brings us so much closer to the real facts.

The real lost souls don’t wear their hair long and play guitars. They have crew cuts and trained minds, sign on for research in biological warfare, and don’t give their parents a moment’s worry.

But the point is, now, at this moment, or any moment, we’re only cross-sections of our real selves. What we really are is the whole stretch of ourselves, all our time, and when we come to the end of this life, all those selves, all our time, will be us – the real you, the real me. And then perhaps we’ll find ourselves in another time, which is only another kind of dream.

Some people are naturally brave. Others, like me, learn to fake it. I still had no idea if faked bravery and real bravery were the same thing.

The real object of the drama is the exhibition of human character

In the silence between lines, emotions speak the loudest; that’s where the real performance lies.

The measure of a man’s real character is what he would do if he knew he never would be found out

Paying homage to the O.G’s. You know and I was just thinking about what was going on in the market at the time. And everything was sounding like the same, but it wasn’t real. The roots and the essence of the genre.

If you really want to flex, you have to be real.

I’m gonna be real everywhere I go, but I’m with my people, I’m connected to my roots – I’m in my country! I don’t need to live somewhere else.

I don’t pretend to be anybody else but me.

Thanks to social media, we’ve also been able to show ourselves as we are. In the end, masks are useless. You have to be real.

If you really want to flex, you have to be real.

The house of delusions is cheap to build, but draughty to live in, and ready at any instant to fall.

It is too early for politicians to presume on our forgetting that the public good, the real welfare of the great body of the people, is the supreme object to be pursued; and that no form of government whatever has any other value than as it may be fitted for the attainment of this object.

Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression. In our Governments, the real power lies in the majority of the Community, and the invasion of private rights is chiefly to be apprehended, not from the acts of Government contrary to the sense of its constituents, but from acts in which the Government is the mere instrument of the major number of the constituents.

I really feel that from my heart that, no matter the number of best stories may exist in this world or on this very planet earth, I find only one story to be the real one, and that is the very story of escape.

Perhaps it is a universal truth that the loss of liberty at home is to be charged against provisions against danger, real or pretended from abroad.

Wherever the real power in a Government lies, there is the danger of oppression.

Public opinion sets bounds to every government, and is the real sovereign in every free one.

There was a time when I had all the answers. My real growth began when I discovered that the questions to which I had the answers were not the important questions.

The profoundest instinct in man is to war against the truth; that is, against the Real.

I have a real passion for children. I always wanted to teach and only became an athlete because my parents told my brother Parenthesis and me that we should use any God-given talent we had.

I’d never before been infatuated with someone living, someone real.

I don’t like to be entertaining. I don’t like the feeling of being entertaining. If there was a musical or a comedy that was not just for entertainment but was rooted in something I could relate to on a real level, then I think I would do it.

She looks like the real thing, She tastes like the real thing, My fake plastic love. But I can’t help the feeling, I could blow through the ceiling If I just turned and ran

Of course it is happening inside your head, Harry, but why on earth should that mean that it is not real?

I only deal in what is real. To be honest, I’ve never thought about what I could get out of football or where it would take me. I just wanted to play. I’m the same now

Atletico was a real group of friends. We went out together, and my teammates taught me a language I did not know at all when I arrived. When I left, I cried

How do I block you in real life?

Let’s not give the electoral process so much importance. We have to be cynical about it. Let’s give importance to the real democracy that’s constructed on a day-to-day basis. That’s my hopeful perspective on it.

I think in a sense seeing how films have changed me and seeing how fiction moves me more than facts in many ways, and I think that I can talk for many people that fiction moves us more than real life, it certainly helps us to set forth on this a journey of a utopia, which can never be achieved.

I like to do comedy. It’s my real passion. I want to make people laugh.

I got to college in ’99, and I went to study literature and writing, and so within a couple years we had Bush elected, 9/11, we were at war, so I was sort of having my political and spiritual awakening at the same time I was becoming an adult, and that’s a lot of stuff at once. I became very focused on the state of the world, and I started studying that stuff more, and I just had a real identity crisis. I couldn’t even really just study literature.

I don’t think it should be allowed for people to start working at a young age and not take the time to just be living as themselves in the real world, especially now in this new age of new media and the obsession with celebrity. I think it’s a real crime.

I spent my twenties not really participating in the work force in any real way. I acted a tiny bit, but that was just because it was the only way I knew how to make money, and I sublet my apartment and lived in the woods and just tried to figure out who I was and what I wanted, what my real desire was and not just what I was used to doing, and it was a really confusing and painful, but really rich and amazing time.

Visiting my mind is like visiting the Hermès factory. Sh*t is real.

My real guru are my experiences in life – the realisation that you are alone in this world came very early to me.

I run about four to five miles, three days a week. I have four young children, so pretty much the only time I can get away is real early in the morning.

Ive got to get my real skills up; like, I got to get my skills up, cause in case of a crazy catastrophe, I might have to learn how to swim

I Think I’m Falling In Love, This Time I Think It’s For Real

Reality is wrong. Dreams are for real.

Jack Nicholson is a textbook actor who’s very intuitive. He is absolutely brilliant at going as far as you can go, always pushing to the edge, but still making it seem real

I have a problem when people say something’s real or not real, or normal or abnormal. The meaning of those words for me is very personal and subjective. I’ve always been confused and never had a clearcut understanding of the meaning of those kinds of words

Someone once defined a social problem as a situation in which the real world differs from the theories of intellectuals. To the intelligentsia, it follows, as the night follows the day, that it is the real world that is wrong and which needs to change.

The real minimum wage is zero

Stupid people can cause problems, but it usually takes brilliant people to create a real catastrophe

A hole can be as real and solid as a boulder or a tree.

All the alleged key causes of SOE [State-Owned Enterprise] inefficiency – the principal-agent problem, the free-rider problem and the soft budget constraint – are, while real, not unique to state-owned enterprises. Large private-sector firms with dispersed ownership also suffer from the principal-agent problem and the free-rider problem. So, in these two areas, forms of ownership do matter, but the critical divide is not between state and private ownership – it is between concentrated and dispersed ownerships.

As priestcraft was always the enemy of knowledge, because priestcraft supports itself by keeping people in delusion and ignorance, it was consistent with its policy to make the acquisition of knowledge a real sin

In my actual imaginative contact with life, I am vastly more responsive to beauty than to horror – indeed, I never experience real cosmic horror except in infrequent nightmares. However, when I come to record my various imaginative experiences, I generally find that only the horror items have any uniqueness or originality. Others have seen the same beautiful things that I have seen, & have sung them more nobly.

The real man smiles in trouble, gathers strength from distress, and grows brave by reflection

It must be remembered that there is no real reason to expect anything in particular from mankind; good and evil are local expedients – or their lack – and not in any sense cosmic truths or laws.

Men of broader intellect know that there is no sharp distinction betwixt the real and the unreal.

Now all my tales are based on the fundemental premise that common human laws and interests and emotions have no validity or significance in the vast cosmos-at-large…. To achieve the essence of real externality, whether of time or space or dimension, one must forget that such things as organic life, good and evil, love and hate, and all such local attributes of a negligible and temporary race called mankind, have any existence at all.

The real reason why so few men believe in God is that they have ceased to believe that even a God can love them

The real hope is not in something we think we can do, but in God, who is making something good out of it in some way we cannot see.

Our real journey in life is interior.

We must make the choices that enable us to fulfill the deepest capacities of our real selves

I once saw ten minutes of The Big Breakfast and it was quite enough to convince me that television in the morning was like drinking in the morning: only real addicts could possibly do it without throwing up

Trojan is giving away Magnum large condoms (do you think they were named after a large wooden animal inside which thousands of little men were hiding, ready to jump out and ruin your life?

Our real journey in life is interior; It is a matter of growth, deepening, and of an ever greater surrender to the creative action of love and grace in our hearts. Never was it more necessary to respond to that action.

Intimacy doesn’t have all that much to do with backseats of cars. Real intimacy is brushing your teeth together.

It’s easy to pretend ‘to be fierce and fearless because living your truth takes real courage. Real fearless and fierce women admit mistakes and they work to correct them. We stand up and we use our voices for things other than self promotion. We don’t stand by and let racism and sexism and homophobia run rapid on our watch. Real fearless and fierce women complement other women and we recognize and embrace that their shine in no way diminishes our light and that it actually makes our light shine brighter.

Be real. That’s part of being present.

Real change requires a desire to change.

I learned that real happiness doesn’t come from getting but from giving.

Pride makes us artificial; humility makes us real.

We live in an era of social media. We care more about looks, popularity and followers than about real music. And I wanted to get away from that.

The lack of power to take joy in outdoor nature is as real a misfortune as the lack of power to take joy in books

There is quite enough sorrow and shame and suffering and baseness in real life, and there is no need for meeting it unnecessarily in fiction.

It is not often that a man can make opportunities for himself. But he can put himself in such shape that when or if the opportunities come he is ready.

Being and having in our society teaches us how to take possession of things, when it should rather initiate us in the art of letting go. For there is neither freedom nor real life without an apprenticeship in letting go.

Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing

The Ford Flex is a really, really cool car. You get inside and you have so much headroom and it’s really comfortable to drive and it’s real techy inside. You look at the screen and it’s blue and you’ve got all kinds of controls. Everything is digital.

Just as real events are forgotten, some that never were can be in our memories as if they happened.

A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.

Steve walks warily down the street

With his brim pulled way down low

Ain’t no sound but the sound of his feet

Machine guns ready to go

Is this the real life?

I don’t talk to everybody, so they don’t really know the real me.

I am a romantic, but I do put up a barrier around myself, so it is hard for people to get in and to know the real me.

Real estate cannot be lost or stolen, nor can it be carried away. Purchased with common sense, paid for in full, and managed with reasonable care, it is about the safest investment in the world

Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education.

I don’t think that anybody has ever seen the real Frank Zappa because being interviewed is one of the most abnormal things that you can do to somebody else. It’s two steps removed from the Inquisition

You can’t be a real country unless you have a beer and an airline. It helps if you have some kind of a football team, or some nuclear weapons, but at the very least you need a beer

The pain is real, but so is the love.

I would like to continue acting. I tell people I can’t go back to real life. I have to see how far I can go with it. I am serious about it, and I believe that it’s my calling. I think it’s what my life’s path is. It’s what God has given me. It’s what I was born to do. And so I must do it.

Sometimes you look back at girls you spent money on rather than send it to your mum and you realise witchcraft is real.

The real reason for not committing suicide is because you always know how swell life gets again after the hell is over.

Luxurious food and drinks, in no way protect you from harm. Wealth beyond what is natural, is no more use than an overflowing container. Real value is not generated by theaters, and baths, perfumes or ointments, but by philosophy.

Imaginary pains are by far the most real we suffer, since we feel a constant need for them and invent them because there is no way of doing without them.

Bowie’s a real man, and I’m a real woman – just like Catherine Deneuve.

Man is not worried by real problems so much as by his imagined anxieties about real problems

I have never gone on a real trip, never taken a holiday. The best holiday for me is spent in my workshops when nearly everybody else is on vacation.

The trouble with writing fiction is that it has to make sense, whereas real life doesn’t.

There are things we live among ‘that really have no real estimate in speech.’

Daily contact with some teachers is itself all-sided ethical education for the child without a spoken precept. Here, too, the real advantage of male over female teachers,especially for boys, is seen in their superior physical strength,which often, if highly estimated, gives real dignity and commands real respect, and especially in the unquestionably greater uniformity of their moods and their discipline.

All possible truth is practical. To ask whether our conception of chair or table corresponds to the real chair or table apart from the uses to which they may be put, is as utterly meaningless and vain as to inquire whether a musical tone is red or yellow. No other conceivable relation than this between ideas and things can exist. The unknowable is what I cannot react upon. The active part of our nature is not only an essential part of cognition itself, but it always has a voice in determining what shall be believed and what rejected.

I’m real good with math, with numbers, like my dad was. I’m pretty much dialed in.

Not to transmit an experience is to betray it.

For our own success to be real, it must contribute to the success of others.

Every true history must force us to remember that the past was once as real as the present and as uncertain as the future.

You are the only real obstacle in your path to a fulfilling life.

Honestly, I always believed in myself. For real, for real.

I’m happy of being in Real Madrid … I’ve fulfilled my dream.

The electron is a theory we use; it is so useful in understanding the way nature works that we can almost call it real.

We never know how God will answer our prayers, but we can expect that He will get us involved in His plan for the answer. If we are true intercessors, we must be ready to take part in God’s work on behalf of the people for whom we pray.

If a man is in any sense a real mathematician, then it is a hundred to one that his mathematics will be far better than anything else he can do, and that it would be silly if he surrendered any decent opportunity of exercising his one talent in order to do undistinguished work in other fields. Such a sacrifice could be justified only by economic necessity of age.

Real mathematics must be justified as art if it can be justified at all.

Real champions fight through adversity.

I stay ready so I don’t have to get ready.

I don’t feel negative emotions. I feel calm, composed and ready. And as it goes on I get better at it. By the time the fight is on, I don’t feel any emotions at all.

Real knowledge is to know the extent of one’s ignorance.

Too often we act – ask our schools to be truant officers, our teachers to be truant officers, because we’re giving them children who have, you know, they’re not ready to learn. And if they’re not ready to learn by the third grade, they know they’re behind.

Video games are a waste of time for men with nothing else to do. Real brains don’t do that.

I was a rebellious child, a rebellious lover, a rebellious couturière — a real devil

That alone is Real which exists by itself, which reveals itself by itself and which is eternal and unchanging.

Real peace is happiness. Pleasures do not form happiness.

Is it the world that says I am real, or is it you?

When your real, effortless, joyful grateful nature is realized, it will not be inconsistent with the ordinary activities of life.

Aim high, aim at the highest, and all lower aims are thereby achieved. It is looking below on the stormy sea of differences that makes you sink. Look up, beyond these and see the One Glorious Real, and you are saved.

The world is illusory, Only Brahman is real, Brahman is the world.

Forgetfulness of your real nature is true death; remembrance of it is rebirth.

Respect your efforts, respect yourself. Self-respect leads to self-discipline. When you have both firmly under your belt, that’s real power.

A real friend or mentor isn’t on your payroll.

Time is a mind construct. It’s not real.

Friendship, like the immortality of the soul, is too good to be believed. When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work but the solidest things we know.

When friendships are real, they are not glass threads or frost work, but the solidest things we can know.

There is nothing the matter with Americans except their ideals. The real American is all right: It is the ideal American who is all wrong.

The real achiever do one thing at a time.

Silver is purified in fire and so are we. It is in the most trying times that our real character is shaped and revealed.

The way you behave when nobody is around defines your real character.

I sometimes struggle, because my job is like the antithesis of what surfing is all about. Surfing’s simple. It’s real.

We make generals today on the basis of their ability to write a damned letter. Those kinds of men can’t get us ready for war.

I look at people in certain circumstances, and I fall into caretaker mode real quick, real easy. I like to shoulder people up and carry them along, and then I end up creating some kind of dependency. I enable. It’s really, really hard for me.

In those days spirits were brave, the stakes were high, men were real men, women were real women and small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri were real small furry creatures from Alpha Centauri.

I’m here and I’m ready. They’re not. Bring it.

It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I’ve never bought into – with any artist. It’s just not a real thing.

Imagination is real.

Bad company does a man real harm, for, as the old proverb has it, if you lie down with dogs you will get up with fleas.

Visit many good books, but live in the Bible.

Everything you can imagine is real.

This is how grace works; it enters the soul, penetrates the heart, saturates the conscience, abides in the memory, affects the affections, gives understanding to the understanding, and imparts real life to the heart, which is the seat of life.

Your emptiness is but the preparation for your being filled and your casting down is but the making ready for your lifting up.

I let people see the cracks in my life. We can’t be phony. We’ve got to keep it real.
