I try to be a contrarian. I’m a first-born, so I think that’s in my blood

As an actor, I’m familiar with having bursts of energy, where you’re giving things a try, and then you have down time.

I made clothes because I was looking for something that didn’t exist. I had to try to create my own world

I’d watch Edwin van der Sar and try and steal things with my eyes from how he played, because he wasn’t all muscles and was a similar build to me.

I will try to show in every game that I am one of the best keepers in the world

I try to be as focused as I can so I can do my job to the best of my abilities.

It’s tough for us to fight against those who have the microphone. We try and respond on the pitch, playing as well as possible, and dedicating ourselves on the training ground.

In a game, you never know what chance you’re going to get, so I try and cover all bases and make sure I’m ready for that chance when it comes.

Never leave your people behind. It’s never love, no matter what you try.

I Try To Tell All The – Not Even The Kids, Even People Older Than Me – To Just Be Themselves. Don’t Wear What I Wear ’Cause I Wear It; Wear What You Like

Nobody had his [Ed Wood’s] style. That’s something I try to do in my films. You have your own kind of cryptic messages in there – cryptic things that most people wouldn’t understand but are important to you. Things that kind of keep you going through the process.

Writing is a form of resistance against oblivion

My last name is all I have. I try to carry that to a high standard by setting high expectations.

These are the times that try men’s souls

These are the times that try men’s souls. The summer soldier and the sunshine patriot will, in the crisis, shrink from the service of his country; but he that stands it NOW, deserves the love and thanks of man and woman

The truth that many people never understand until it is too late is that the more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer

I do remember, and then when I try to remember, I forget.

The more you try to avoid suffering, the more you suffer, because smaller and more insignificant things begin to torture you, in proportion to your fear of being hurt. The one who does most to avoid suffering is, in the end, the one who suffers most

If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.

I have always been told that I was a funny, entertaining person and have always been told to give comedy a try.

If you fall during your life it doesn’t matter because you’re never a failure if you try to get up

I like to help kids, work with kids in detention homes. Don’t tell a kid what’s right and wrong. He knows what’s right and wrong. Find out what his attitude and his aptitude are; try to help him where he wants to go

Don’t ever, ever try to lie to the internet.

I do nothing, granted. But I see the hours pass – which is better than trying to fill them.

The more we try to rest ourselves from our Egos, the deeper we sink into it.

Don’t be afraid to fail. Be afraid not to try.

Most people think that shadows follow, precede or surround beings or objects. The truth is that they also surround words, ideas, desires, deeds, impulses and memories.

I think it’s my responsibility, as a person of influence—to sometimes try to do what I can

A lot of artists fail when they try to act, and they flop. So when I get into acting, it’s going to be to do it well, something good, something of quality. I want people to say, ‘Wow, that movie or that show or whatever—turned out really well

You don’t know what you can get away with until you try.

Trying to get everyone to like you is a sign of mediocrity.

I try to be the same person I was yesterday.

Don’t bother people for help without first trying to solve the problem yourself.

You know when you’re young and you see a play in high school, and the guys all have gray in their hair and they’re trying to be old men and they have no idea what that’s like? It’s just that stupid the other way around.

The cure for poverty has a name, in fact: it’s called the empowerment of women. If you give women some control over the rate at which they reproduce, if you give them some say, take them off the animal cycle of reproduction to which nature and some doctrine—religious doctrine condemns them, and then if you throw in a handful of seeds perhaps and some credit, the floor of everything in that village, not just poverty, but education, health, and optimism will increase. It doesn’t matter; try and do it without empowering women, you can’t do it. The benefits are so many.

One cannot and must not try to erase the past merely because it does not fit the present.

Let’s be realistic. Let’s do the impossible!

Above all, try to be able to feel deeply any injustice committed against any person in any part of the world.

I just try to be the best Patrick Mahomes I can be.

Those of us who did make it have an obligation to build again. To teach to others what we know, and to try with what’s left of our lives to find a goodness and a meaning to this life.

I try to be known more for my work than for anything else.

As kids we’re not taught how to deal with success; we’re taught how to deal with failure. If at first you don’t succeed, try, try again. If at first you succeed, then what?

I am on a drug. It’s called Charlie Sheen. It’s not available. If you try it once, you will die. Your face will melt off and your children will weep over your exploded body.

As I began to love myself I quit trying to always be right, and ever since I was wrong less of the time. Today I discovered that is

Even as in our young days He carried us like lambs in His bosom, so will He in our years of infirmity He made us, and He will care for us. When we become a burden to our friends and a burden to ourselves, the LORD will not shake us off, but the rather He will take us up and carry and deliver us more fully than ever.

I will honor Christmas in my heart, and try to keep it all the year.

I went to the worst of bars hoping to get killed but all I could do was to get drunk again.

I was happy and I was free and I was living it up. I don’t regret that, because you know people, they try to make you feel like it was wrong that I used to show my boobs or like freaking walk around naked or strip and people would try to make me feel like I was wrong for doing that and then for a second, I would be like, ‘Why did I did that?’ And then I was like, ‘F*ck that!’ Because I had a good time

It is a very old saying that you never can tell what you can do until you try.

Now the trouble about trying to make yourself stupider than you really are is that you very often succeed

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it

Try to be a rainbow in someone’s cloud.

If you would not spill the wine, do not fill the glass too full. If you wish your blade to hold it’s edge, do not try to make it over-keen

Never try to copy a successful personality

Some will hate you pretend they love you now then behind they try to eliminate you.

Ain’t it just like the night to play tricks when you’re tryin’ to be so quiet?

If you try to be anyone but yourself, you will fail; if you are not true to your own heart, you will fail. Then again, there’s no success like failure

It shows how much you can touch people, and as much as you can try to give those people somehow it is nothing compared to what they live in their own mind, in their dreams, for you

Because the machine will try to grind you into dust anyway, whether or not we speak

Because people have no thoughts to deal in, they deal cards, and try and win one another’s money. Idiots

I would like to flood South Africa with black personages of all sorts of persuasions: writers, educators, businessmen, you name it. If you are black and have any clout at all, I would like to see you go to South Africa and look for yourself and come back and try to use the tools that you have at your command to try and help the brothers down there

I take the good with the bad, and I try to face them both with as much calm and dignity as I can muster

I know I could never forgive myself if I elected to live without humane purpose, without trying to help the poor and unfortunate, without recognizing that perhaps the purest joy in life comes with trying to help others.

People who say it is impossible, should not interrupt those who are trying to make it possible.

The better you get, the less you run around showing off as a muscle guy. You know, you wear regular shirts – not always trying to show off what you have. You talk less about it. It’s like you have a little BMW – you want to race the hell out of this car because you know it’s just going 110. But if you see guys driving a Ferrari or a Lamborghini, they slide around at 60 on the freeway because they know if they press on that accelerator they are going to go 170. These things are the same in every field.

I was also going to give a graduation speech in Arizona this weekend. But with my accent, I was afraid they would try to deport me.

I always try to adjust to the situation.

I physically feel very fit. I’m very motivated to keep on playing on a very high level. I’m going to try to use these years in front of me to fight for the number one of the world and fight for the biggest titles

I’m trying to enjoy my lie as much as I can and I know that tennis hopefully is going to be my life the next 10, 15 years

I’m trying not to pay too much attention to the rankings because calculations can distract you

I try to enjoy what I do, and every moment of the life that I have is a blessing. What else can you do but to be happy and try to bring that joy to the other people around – especially in the tournaments. Everybody has bad days. I’m not always funny or laughing

Don’t defy the diagnosis, try to defy the verdict.

Instead of trying to build a brick wall, lay a brick everyday. Eventually, you’ll look up and you’ll have a brick wall

I try to sprinkle little gems and jewels in the music that people could use in their own life.

I think everybody’s trying to get to a place in themselves where they conquer what they was afraid of; they achieve some of their life goals, kept their word about what they were trying to do

Be truthful with yourself and other people, and try your best to make decisions outside of your ego.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal

We have to lift each other up, not try and claw each other down

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others.

I learned a long time ago that trying to micromanage the perfect vacation is always a disaster. That leads to terrible times

I try not to think about my public life. I focus on my private life, and that’s just the best way to live.

Like most people, I am simply trying to understand the situation in Louisiana, Mississippi and Alabama and how I can best help.

It’s getting harder to make decisions to just want to do something to work… I’m trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

There’s nothing I have to hide or defend. I’m gonna live my life. And there are times when people wanna try to attack me, and I don’t know why, but they will. And that’s okay.

When I get logical, and I don’t trust my instincts – that’s when I get in trouble.

I’m happy being myself, which I’ve never been before. I always hid in other people, or tried to find myself through the characters, or live out their lives, but I didn’t have those things in mine.

The side of fairytales I don’t like is that they always have happy endings, that there’s just good and evil, and things are perfect. But life is a little more complicated, and that’s what I try to teach my kids.

As soon as my trial was over, we tried to use the energy that had developed around my case to create another organization, which we called the National Alliance against Racist and Political Repression

If you’re not trying to be real, you don’t have to get it right. That’s art

Please know that I am aware of the hazards. I want to do it because I want to do it. Women must try to do things as men have tried. When they fail, their failure must be but a challenge to others

Women, like men, should try to do the impossible. And when they fail, their failure should be a challenge to others

There is nothing impossible to him who will try.

To be yourself in a world that is constantly trying to make you something else is the greatest accomplishment

An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling falsehood

It is wise to turn circumstances to good account

By trying to please everybody, he had pleased nobody, and lost his Ass besides

It is foolish to try to imitate the skills of other

Be content with what nature made you, or run the risk of earning contempt by trying to be what you’re not

Running away from fear is fear, fighting pain is pain, trying to be brave is being scared

To remain stable is to refrain from trying to separate yourself from a pain because you know that you cannot

A scholar tries to learn something everyday; a student of Buddhism tries to unlearn something daily

I like taking risks. I like trying new things, whether it be style or restaurants or whatever.
