Anyone Quotations | Page 7

You shouldn't have to give things up for someone. If you love them someone, you should love them for everything they do and all that they are. I love acting and I wouldn't give it up for anything, and I don't know anyone in my life who would ask me to give it up.

I bought my own home in 2004. It's a sanctuary for my family and a place of peace and calm. It's key for anyone committed to leadership and success to avoid the noise and focus on their best opportunities.

Does anyone believe that Kofi Annan scares Bashar Assad?

I never feel particularly comfortable holding a gun, but when you're playing somebody who lived in the frontier southwest, guns are a part of their life. Anyone who lives on land has a gun.

I do think taking the 20s to take the most chances you can is important, because you're not going to hurt anyone else during that time. And if you do have a partner, you need a couple years to rehearse that relationship.

You can ask anyone who knows me, I've never said a racist or prejudiced thing in my life.

If you're calling yourself a maverick and you're not Dirk Nowitzki, then you are probably not one. In fact, this rule applies to anyone declaring themselves a 'God-fearing Christian' or a 'Man of the people.'

I left the Middle West for Schenectady because the General Electric Company offered me a more congenial, better paying job than did anyone else.

Anyone who knows me will attest that at any time during the day, you are most likely to find me picking tayberries, 'deadheading' peppermint, or succession-planting shallots. There is almost nothing, really, that I would rather do.

What the police in their ignorance have not figured out is that they have lost all credibility since World War II. They are sort of parasites on the fringe of society and do no particular good for anyone except possibly themselves.

The most annoying and full-of-crap thing a writer says is, 'I write only for myself, I don't care if anyone reads it.' A writer without a reader doesn't exist.

I get up early. I like to read a little before anyone but the dog is up. I also like to read at night, not in bed but just before I go to bed.

Many writers will get a contract by selling chapters and outlines or something like that. I wrote the entire novel, and when it was all finished, I would give it to my agent and say, 'Well, here's a novel; sell it if you can.' And they would do that, and it was good because I never had anyone looking over my shoulder.

The United States isn't a dictatorship ruling with a brutal army and an iron fist, so our police departments must understand that they are there to serve and protect us - all of us. And when they do commit crimes, they must be arrested and prosecuted like anyone else, bottom line.

I've been telling anyone willing to listen that banks have a tendency to sit on time bombs while convincing themselves that they are conservative and nonvolatile.

Some of my favorite pieces were my mom's, and most of those she actually hand made. I would say if my style reflects anyone or anything, it's her.

I don't condone anyone causing damage in my name, or doing anything malicious in support of my plight. There are more productive ways to help me. As a hacker myself, I never intentionally damaged anything.

I am for anyone that will give me lower taxes, stop all this stupid spending. Whoever promises me that gets this chicken's vote.

I'm amazed, as quirky, individual and selfish as most of us are, that anyone stays married for long.

Jesus is the inspiration for anyone to go the distance.

I do love nature, but I don't suppose I'd spent more time in zoos as a child than anyone else!

To become 'unique,' the challenge is to fight the hardest battle which anyone can imagine until you reach your destination.

I was writing from the age of 10, and I was never really into going to discos and dances and stuff. I never told anyone at school that I did that because I feared it would alienate me even more.

I can't understand why anyone would want to live the life of a politician if you can't say pretty much what you think. You are not in it for the money: there's unremitting pressure on your life, you give up so much of your privacy. It can only be because of the things you want to do and the things you want to say.

I could take all the cartoons in the tabloid newspapers, but I couldn't take my daughter punching me in the belly and asking why I was so fat. That was my inspiration to lose the weight. And probably the last time anyone hurt my feelings.

I know more world leaders on the stage today than anyone running, with perhaps the exception of Hillary Clinton.

If hackers, if anyone committing a criminal act, wants to reduce their risk, they obviously don't involve anybody else. The greater the circle of people that know what you're doing, the higher the risk.

In the Muslim world, I had seen that men with white complexions were more genuinely brotherly than anyone else had ever been. That... was the start of a radical alteration in my whole outlook about 'white men.'

The recipe to an unhappy life in Japan is to want to be Japanese if you are not. Anyone who wants to penetrate the country is setting themselves up for tears and disappointment.

No matter how you cut them, paste them, rotate them, or distort them, lip syncing and air-guitar playing are fundamentally foolish activities, and anyone seen to be engaging in them with anything approaching a straight face is, by definition, taking herself or himself much too seriously.

I hope that more children have the same opportunities as me, with the same parents as me, that let me be an individual, who gave me freedom, and taught me to believe in myself before anyone else would believe in me.

Don't let anyone turn you into a slave. You're a slave if you let the media tell you that sports and entertainment are more important than developing your brain.

Anyone who doesn't agree with the Left's approach to immigration oftentimes gets stigmatized as anti-immigrant or anti-Hispanic.

The problem with middle age, at least when it comes to modeling, is you seldom see a model who is past 27, 28. If they use anyone older, then it becomes automatically a 'personality' story.

Anyone who thinks Peter Jackson would fall for market forces around him rather than artistic integrity doesn't know the guy or the body of his work.

Primary-school education is a crock, basically. It's oppressive to anyone with physical energy, especially guys.

There's a lot of talk coming from Citigroup about how Dodd-Frank isn't perfect. Let me say this to anyone who is listening at Citi: I agree with you. Dodd-Frank isn't perfect. It should have broken you into pieces.

It's quite liberating to get to a certain age, 'cos you're not chasing number one hits or trying to be an international superstar. I've done all that. I'm not out to prove much more to anyone but myself really, to be an artist and see if there is a new undiscovered music out there for me to make.

I know as much as anyone how much her most fervent supporters want Hillary Clinton to run for president.

If I was producing something, it wouldn't make sense to me to cast somebody because of who their father is because that doesn't put anyone in the seats in the theatre. I wouldn't go to a movie because that person's father is so and so.

I think connecting natural elements and musicology is probably pretty idiosyncratic of me, so it is hard to imagine anyone else going down that route.

I never ask anyone else's opinion. They don't count.

I don't care that much about rote memorization. An old boyfriend of mine used to get into lacerating arguments with his parents over facts, and I used to watch on in mute astonishment. How could anyone actually argue about something that could be looked up?

I never said I was gay, because I don't think anyone is.

I have a gruff side. This is not exactly news... At the same time, anyone who wants to judge me for this can walk a mile in my moccasins. And then we'll talk.

Obviously, personal responsibility is important. But there's no evidence that people who are poor are less ambitious than anyone else. In fact, many work long hours at backbreaking jobs.

Being Jewish has always been important to me. I now have 6M tattooed on the inside of my left arm. It's only a half-inch, but every time anyone sees it, they're reminded of the six million who perished, and so am I.

Your life is meant for you to understand and process, not to make anyone else happy.

When you have told anyone you have left him a legacy, the only decent thing to do is die at once.

I think anyone who is famous is a moron if they're on Twitter. It's just stupid.

Anything can be used for or against the welfare of women - or the welfare of anyone - depending on who controls it.

My grandfather once ventured upon publishing a volume of hymns. I never heard anyone speak in their favour or argue that they ought to have been sung in the congregation. In that volume, he promised a second if the first should prove acceptable. We forgive him the first collection because he did not inflict another.

Let's be honest - tracking down, rounding up, and deporting millions of people isn't realistic. Anyone who suggests otherwise isn't being straight with you. It's also not who we are as Americans.

Anyone with the right mix of parental paranoia and entrepreneurial moxie can make a fortune by selling parents the equipment we think will keep us one step ahead of our kids.

Anyone who's an executive at a record label does not understand what the Internet is, how it works, how people use it, how fans and consumers interact - no idea. I'm surprised they know how to use e-mail.

The one and true God of the Bible does not share His glory with any man or anyone else. There is only room for one God.

Michelle and I don't want anyone telling us who our family's doctor should be - and no one should decide that for you either. Under our proposals, if you like your doctor, you keep your doctor. If you like your current insurance, you keep that insurance. Period, end of story.

While some doubted that connecting the world was actually important, we were building. While others doubted that this would be sustainable, you were forming lasting connections. We just cared more about connecting the world than anyone else. And we still do today.

Anybody who's lived in the ghetto knows that you don't move during the daytime. Here's why: You don't want anyone to know you're leaving, and you don't want anyone knowing where you're going.

Millions of us, myself included, go back generations in this country, with ancestors who put in the painstaking work to become citizens. So we don't like the notion that anyone might get a free pass to American citizenship.

I lost my election because of my campaign, not because of what anyone else did.

The right course is for the Palestinians and the Israelis to sit down at the table together. The Palestinians need to recognize that the course to the two-state solution is not through the United Nations or through the United States or through anyone else, but through a face to face series of negotiations with the Israelis.

I don't know how anyone gets anything done in cities. How can you live somewhere like London or New York, when there are 81 things to do every night? Awful. Give me solitude and space any time.

I don't think there's anyone who would say they don't want or need more of God's power in their life.

Music makes my blood flow. I don't know anyone who doesn't have a favorite song. I just want to be the messenger.

Music was a big part of our friendship, but it wasn't the only part. Danny was the textbook definition of the term 'good friend.' He would do anything for you. Anyone who knew Danny knew this and knew the kind, gentle spirit he possessed ... The world lost a good one today, and I am deeply saddened by it.

My advice to anyone would be to focus on your current job and be the best at it. The rest will take care of itself.

My agent said, before the show, I never played anyone who made over $25,000 per year.

Musicians know how special he was. There was never anyone else like him.

Mum was absolutely devastated with the photos of Dad. We have all been very protective of him and we didn't want anyone to see him like that.

One of the really, really big reasons why the league has been so good is that it has had outstanding leadership. The commissioner has led the league through some real growth periods. Obviously they're going to lose a great man who has done a tremendous job a tremendous job. That has to be one of the toughest jobs that anyone could ever deal with: the owners and the players and all the issues that come up with that. I can understand why he might have felt it was time to retire.

One thing I remember most vividly about Opal Eckert is that she could teach any kind of class - from the most basic high school English composition class to the highest level journalism class at the university. The Journalism Department at Northwest was in the basement of Colden Hall at the time she taught there. I remember that she was always there. She had more energy - give her something to do and she would just pitch right in and do it. She was unfailingly courteous, nice, businesslike and she always remembered names. She will leave a real hole in the world of journalism in northwest Missouri. I don't know anyone who has worked as hard or contributed as much as Opal Eckert.

My sense is, if the deal would have involved anyone in the world except an Arab country, it would not have raised scrutiny.

Personally it's an honor and I'm thankful for getting an award but it couldn't have been done without my team. It was totally a team effort so I don't think I deserve anymore credit than anyone else.

Popular' is supposed to mean you have a lot of friends. But now it's come to the point that the popular girls are the cliquey girls, and they are exclusive. They won't be friends with anyone who is a little different from them, and they won't interact with anyone who is not in their group.

One of the bitter ironies of this to me, this whole thing, is that we were so fundamentally superior in our bid to anyone else in the world that everyone knew we were going to win,

On occasion anyone who does any amount of this is going to get hit, or you are going to hit somebody.

On the other hand, how could anyone decide if it was a good idea without seeing the numbers first?

On the intimate level, anyone who has loved a companion animal knows the uniquely wonderful experience these 'other nations' provide, and their important presence in our shared lives. In their very local way they show us the global truth of our real wealth, our biodiversity.

On the Democratic side, it's an uphill battle for anyone who runs. I don't think it's a slam dunk at all. Schwarzenegger has huge name identity, and that counts for a lot.

I would agree with most of the concerns, ... Anyone looking at that arena would come to these conclusions and have these concerns very quickly. We wouldn't be doing something unless we had all the concerns addressed.

I would allow anyone to play. Whatever we can do to help, we'll do.

I would argue that anyone in his position, who is planning to invest huge amounts of money in further player acquisitions in January and the development of the ground, would want the comfort of being in control.

I would ask anyone who is not taking part in it to avoid the area.

I would challenge anyone to go into a central office (telephone switching station) in Atlanta and show me the material difference between it and a central office in Dallas, Texas. You're just not going to know the difference.

I would characterize hiking as the best nature-based activity for a lifetime of activity, ... It requires a minimal level of gear. Anyone can hike. You can set your own pace, and you can experience the outdoors on your own terms.

I would choose the best college football player ever ? Vince Young. I've never seen anyone who could do the things he could do. He's very athletic and versatile. He could take our business to another level. He will do many things that we never thought was possible.

I would do it if there was no one in here. It's more fun for me. I used to do it when I was a little kid, in the back yard in the summertime. I would go out there all day without anyone in the stands.

I would hate to think anyone would boo her because I'm worried at how she might react.

I would have a quarrel with any bill that would give the information to businesses before anyone else. OPRA did some very good things to make the record open, but it hasn't done anything to change the mind-set.

I would embrace that fully. Anyone who comes in here, they're going to have to work very hard to beat me out, and if they do that's going to make this team better and I'm all for it.

I would encourage anyone who is older to write down as much as they can remember. They may think that no one cares, but their children and grandchildren will when they grow up. I have so many regrets about not really listening and asking questions when my grandparents and parents were alive, and I've heard so many others say the same thing.

I wouldn't take anyone for granted. But hopefully we'll continue to do what we do.

I was someplace the other day. Too modest. I was winning the prestigious Hale Award, which is given annually in Newport, New Hampshire for anyone who'll go up and accept it. I don't get that many awards, friends. So it was a three-hour drive?

I was surprised as anyone that that was what was picked up in the press, ... When I first saw the ... headlines - 'Salinger drinks urine' ... I really didn't think this was such an odd thing.

I was surprised to read those comments. I don't know how anyone can question Joe's heart after the career he has had. He's proved himself the No.1 in the division.

I guarantee that you won't see what you buy here on anyone else.

I guess if anyone wondered if Priest has anything left, ... they don't have to wonder now. That was classic Priest.

New coach, new plays, new style, new players. I don't think anyone really knows what to expect from us right now.

Nobody in these parts likes to see animals mistreated at all. It's not right. Anyone who would treat an animal like that would probably do the same to kids.
