Be polite to all, but intimate with few.

Set high standards and few limitations for yourself.

I feel it was just a few years ago I was running around in short pants.

I love my relationship with Coach Vermeil because it is one of the few genuine relationships that I have.

Fantastic days are what you wish upon those who have so few sunrises left, those whose lungs are so lesion-spangled with new cancer that they should be embracing as much life as they can. Time’s...

There is an easy way to silence your critics; just try to do what they say you can’t do. If they are still not content, do more of it! Keep doing it until you become...

I always saw Michael Gambon wearing madly psychedelic socks, and I always thought that’s it is one of the few areas where men can really express colour and have a bit of a dandyish quality...

I usually sleep just a few hours a night.

If you’ve been playing for a few years, especially in a group context, you’ll see if you have the ability or the passion to want to carry on. It’s something that you have to be...

There are a few people who genuinely see the best in everyone.

Every citizen who stops smoking, or loses a few pounds, or starts managing his chronic disease with real diligence, is caulking a crack for the benefit of us all.

No one uses a ribbon typewriter any more, but your final draft is not the time to try to wring a few more sheets out of your inkjet cartridge.

My dad doesn’t watch ‘Coronation Street.’ But my mum is a massive fan. I’d like to think my dad will watch it for a few token episodes, as I’m in it.

On the plus side, death is one of the few things that can be done as easily lying down .

A few years ago no hotel or restaurant in Boston refused Negro guests; now several hotels, restaurants, and especially confectionary stores, will not serve Negroes, even the best of them.

Every few months, I find myself in Europe or the Middle East.

Whooping cough is not a mild disease. Whooping cough, before the vaccination, could make you very, very sick. First of all, there was a chance you could die from it – small chance, not a...

This year, I feel strong. I’m looking forward to having my best season in the last few years.

I was a Labour Party man but I found myself to the left of the Labour party in Nelson, militant as that was. I came to London and in a few months I was a...

A doctor can save maybe a few hundred lives in a lifetime. A researcher can save the whole world.

Virtues are common, but the virtuous are very few. This is because ordinarily, people know but do not apply what they know. To break the culture, look for more information; learn more and apply more....

When I give away a book for free, it gets my name out there. That has lifelong value for me that goes way beyond the few dollars I could maybe charge.

For every album, I look at where I’m at in my career and think of a title that kind of represents that. And for me, ‘Night Train’ was kind of a metaphor for where things...

There are more and more products with fewer people able to consume them. We have to help those who don’t have the economic stability to grow, or one day there will be very few who...

Maybe the most that you can expect from a relationship that goes bad is to come out of it with a few good songs.

Every story I write is different. Some are hard. Some aren’t. ‘Chronicle’ was tremendously easy. I have a hard time comparing my process on different things, but I will say this: The more you write,...

At the Sex Institute in Bloomington, Indiana, they were a phenomenal help, too. We went out there for a few days, and they gave us access to materials. And the biographies, there are four or...

Few Iranians these days go through the fiction of calling themselves ‘Persian.’ Calling yourself Persian is a way of distancing themselves from Iran.

I just enjoy both working and not working. And fortunately, I work enough where I get that out of my system, and then we take a few days off, take a rest.

There are a few writers that one has a relationship with that means, basically, you do whatever they say. One is Caryl Churchill, and the other is David Hare.

‘Beyond Glory’ is responsible for this wave that I’ve been fortunate enough to ride for the last few years. And that I did primarily because I didn’t know what else to do. You might say...

Very few cities in the NHL have the history or the following of the Detroit Red Wings.

Intellectuals, academics, writers and poets were an important force in the early groups of volunteers. They had the means to get to Spain and were accustomed to travelling, whereas very few workers had left British...

Well, stealing bases adds some runs but very few, and you lose most of the runs that you gain by having runners caught stealing.

In a way, the popularity of Corona came too fast for its own good, initially. We took a few steps back.

Three centuries after the appearance of Franklin’s ‘Courant’, it no longer requires a dystopic imagination to wonder who will have the dubious distinction of publishing America’s last genuine newspaper. Few believe that newspapers in their...

As far as viewpoints, I think I’m more well-rounded and definitely more educated, and probably more hopeful than I used to be. I think when you’re young and you get into a cause, you get...

I was initially signed to a German label a few years ago.

I was always the biggest nerd in school: I had very few friends; I was always picked on; I used to wear really big glasses. I was the epitome of a nerd.

Unfortunately, very few governments think about youth unemployment when they are drawing up their national plans.

Upon the principles of reason, the good of many is preferable to the good of a few or of one; a lasting good is to be preferred before a temporary, the public before the private.

Focus your attention on the quality of your words, and not the quantity, because few sensible talks attracts millions of listeners more than a thousand gibberish.

I was totally surprised by the spread of the legalization of same-sex marriage. In just my lifetime we have gone from a taboo to even talk about homosexuality, to the sanction by governments of homosexual...

I love the way my weight fluctuates in the newspapers. It was 18 stone and then people look at a bad picture of me and add a few more stone on. I think the highest...

There are a few things that make me angry. Mostly things not going my way.

Sixty percent of all Indians live in urban areas, but nobody’s writing about them. They’re really an underrepresented population, and the ironic thing is very, very few of those we call Native American writers actually...

I don’t find myself interesting as a person and the details I find boring, quite frankly. You could sum it up in a few words or sentences really: came from nothing. Self-educated. Luck. Energy. Curiosity....

There are probably a few library fines I haven’t paid yet, but I’m a pretty clean-cut guy overall.

I’ve been a runner a long time. When I first got into it, I started doing small triathlons in Chicago, and I just did it to get in shape. When I got out of college,...
