Hustlers of the world, there is one mark you cannot beat: the mark inside.

There is perhaps no surer mark of folly, than to attempt to correct natural infirmities of those we love.

I grew up under demanding people, that demanded things from you, expected you to toe the mark.

Bob Hope, like Mark Twain, had a sense of humor that was uniquely American, and like Twain, we'll likely not see another like him.

The stereotypical successful entrepreneur is Mark Zuckerberg - the young college dropout who dreamed up a crazy idea while in his dorm room.

The mark of all good art is not that the thing done is done exactly or finely, for machinery may do as much, but that it is worked out with the head and the workman's heart.

'Human' was controversial within The Killers way before it was controversial to the rest of the world! It caused some problems within the band. Not to throw anybody under the bus, but it was pretty much me and Dave against Mark and Ronnie for a little while. We were standing up for the song.

There must've been some part of me that wanted to make my mark. But there was never a defining moment.

For me, my core genius lies in the area of teaching and motivating. I love to do it, I do it well, and people report that they get great value from it. Another core genius is compiling and writing books. Along with my co-author Mark Victor Hansen and others, I have written, co-authored, compiled and edited more than 200 books.

I want to affect culture. I want to have my mark on everything. I give examples of people like Bill Cosby, Quincy Jones - those are the people who I look up to. The game wouldn't be the same without them. What happens in the course of 5 years isn't really important to me. I care about what they'll say about me in 50 years.

I lost my front tooth in rugby league when a fat guy from Bellevue Hill kicked me in the face as I got up from a tackle to mark him. I made this decision not to cap the tooth because I thought it was false. But I didn't make any movies as a teenager, and I had a very hard time with girls and stuff.

Self-control is one mark of a mature person; it applies to control of language, physical treatment of others, and the appetites of the body.

For me it's the high-water mark of American culture - not so much contemporary jazz, which has become kind of academic, but the jazz from the '20s on through the '70s.

Here's the mark that a lot of people miss nowadays. Producers missed. They leave out the heart and soul. And that's what I learned from Sammy Davis, Jr., from Frank Sinatra, is when you went to go see those shows, you got to know them.

To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius.

Mark Twain gave us an insight into the life on the Mississippi at the turn of the century.

I don't have a big thing about leaving my mark or being historic.

You have only a short period of time in your life to make your mark, and I'm there now.

When I was 20, I had these furrowed lines between my brows because I was always angry. And I was 20. I don't think that was a mark of age; it was just my personality.

Getting that audience approval is always a question mark, and it's always that flag that flutters in front of you.

I love Salma Hayek; we've been friends for a really long time. I admire how she has come such a long way and always remained grounded and who she is. She never compromises to follow her vision, and she is loyal. Such qualities only mark the great stars.

Barack Obama hopes his famous health care victory will mark him as a transformative president. History, however, may judge it to have been his missed opportunity to be one.

When the period arrives - come when it may - that this government will be compelled to resort to internal taxes for its support in time of peace, it will mark one of the most difficult and dangerous stages through which it is destined to pass.

The mark of a good action is that it appears inevitable in retrospect.

My favorite writers are all Jews - David, Solomon, Matthew, Mark - well, you get the picture.

One of the marks of a truly vigorous society is the ability to dispense with passion as a midwife of action - the ability to pass directly from thought to action.

For me, art is supposed to be a question mark.

I would love to see more women making their mark in the music that I love so much ... There are so many more out there just waiting for their shot. I hope they get it!

I think a lot of the American people feel more than a little disappointed that the high-water mark for human exploration was 1969. The dream of human space travel has almost died for a lot of people.

Mulder struggled his first couple of starts with us. Then he found his groove, and it's impressive how all five of our starters feed off each other. Mark has fit in here real well.

One thing Mark is committed to is Protestant/Catholic dialogue. Notre Dame is a good place to do that. There are lots of serious Catholics and Protestants who want to think about those issues.

My understanding is they're focusing on everyone who was in the building that day. And if someone had a motive to start a fire and wanted to make it appear that Mark Anderson had started it, around his area is exactly where they'd do it. Mark Anderson had no motive to start the fire and is not responsible for it.

On most of our campuses this is a very scary moment. For us as a group, it's a time at which the answers are uncertain, but no generation will have the opportunity we have to put our mark on the look of education in the future.

On the fourth anniversary of the Sept. 11th attack here in New York City, we plan to mark this solemn occasion by asking siblings to take the lead in this year's ceremony. In this small way, we acknowledge the special bonds they share with their beloved brothers and sisters who died that day,

On the fourth anniversary ... we plan to mark this solemn occasion by asking siblings to take the lead,

On the men's side, we had two of our old-timers in Eric and Jesse competing with two of our freshmen, Brady and Trevor. Jesse competed unattached tonight. He's coming off a foot injury, and he's just starting to come back. Eric was just tired after football. We've been kind of slow with him coming back. But he will be there pretty quick. His mark tonight isn't much off his personal best right now. Brady and Trevor both have a couple of events they need to work on. Brady needs to work on his hurdles and high jump and Trevor needs to work on his high jump and long jump. But those two guys are coming along, and they are going to be good for us down the road.

On 'The Avengers,' I've been working closely with Mark Ruffalo.

Nineteen laps to go, running for a million bucks, you're going to do every little trick in the trade and everything you know how to do to try and win the race, ... Mark outsmarted me a little bit on that one. That was a great job. He did a great job.

I worked over the last year and a half with a Hollywood screenwriter named Mark Shepherd. He developed a screenplay out of the story. It's incredible; I hope that it can be made into a movie soon. Our agency is shopping it around Hollywood. I think it's going to be an incredibly powerful film. It starts with one part, and then we have plans for a sequel as well.

I was so full of nerves over the last three stages, ... I heard everything and I felt everything, but the car was absolutely fine. I was really quite hopeful this morning. Mark only took 8 seconds out of me on this first one this morning and I thought, 'that's only half a second a mile, I can live with that' and then he only took half a second out of me on the next one. But when he spun on the third one that really allowed me to relax a bit.

I was talking to (Giants coach) Mark Gardner the other night. He told me how much that did for the team, how much fun it was. The thing about Barry, he likes to have fun. He's always been that way. He just doesn't want you (the media) to see it.

My goal by my senior year is to win at least one gold medal for Leavenworth High School. Maybe we can leave our own little mark here.

My hat's off to Mark Martin, ... He almost won this race. It was only the tires that beat him; he had the best car.

Like Doc said, the trade will clear out a lot of negative stuff in the locker room without Mark Blount and Marcus Banks, who didn't really want to be here. It clears the negative stuff out of the locker room and off the team, period.

Lift others and yourself as you rise above this mess of comparison. Thank God for those who embraced their true selves and gave us gifts that only they could give: from Steve Jobs to Michael Jackson to Ray Charles to Mark Twain. There are so many more, and the list goes on.

Like an arrow to its mark flies the word good man's word.

Mandatory seat belt laws save lives. Mark is very well respected and well known for his skills as a driver and with his help we'll work with the legislator to get a primary seat belt law passed next year.

So many women want to make a mark on this world, and that's why its my goal to support their businesses by offering their products in my shop. I think that when women help other women succeed in business, it's a wonderful thing.

Some areas could hit the freezing mark for an hour or so. Maybe a degree lower.

Oh yeah, it's a lot of fun. Mark Rein equals target practice!

Of all cursed places under the sun, where the hungriest soul can hardly pick up a few grains of knowledge, a girls boarding-school is the worst. They are called finishing schools, and the name tells accurately what they are. They finish everything but imbecility and weakness, and that they cultivate. They are nicely adapted machines for experimenting on the question, ''Into how little space a human being can be crushed?'' I have seen some souls so compressed that they would have fitted into a small thimble, and found room to move there -- wide room. A woman who has been for many years at one of those places carries the mark of the beast on her till she dies.

One of the things I love about Mark, Mark attacks his weaknesses. He turned himself into a Gold Glove first baseman. A lot of people would have used the position change as an excuse. He's very driven, a self-starter.

No one ever thought Mark Ellis could do this. He's a name to be remembered. If people don't know who he is, turn on the television and check him out. If he doesn't win comeback player, that's ridiculous.

My heart was in my throat 10 seconds earlier when I'd thrown the ball away. That was scary but I got a little lucky because it came right back to me. I knew that no three guys were going to be able to catch that guy in an open floor, so I thought it might be a good idea to get the ball to Mark and see what he could do with it.

More and more, I give Mark Martin more credit for what we are and what we can do. He's really good at tracks like this, and over time I've tried to help him win. Mark's got his fingerprints over everything we do.

None of us is anticipating anything significant, but it is his shoulder. It's hard to believe that somebody can throw 98 mph and have a serious arm problem. He hasn't been to Mark with any complaints at all since he went to the bullpen.

None of us truly believe that Mark ever told the truth, which was part of the plea bargain. We got conned again.

No one is better at what they do than Mark is. He's the best.

Of course it's a big honor. The Rangers are an original six team. A lot of great players played hear -- Wayne Gretzky and Mark Messier -- a lot of great players. It's a big honor to me.

My first instinct is to win, but it would also be nice to set the record victory mark and pass into cycling history,

No-one's pushing Al Baxter or Bill Young at present. Matt Dunning hasn't put his hand up. And in the second row we've got Mark Chisholm (behind Nathan Sharpe and Dan Vickerman) but who else?

My father was unwell when I was 11, had a stroke at 14 and died when I was 18. My mother going to work at seven in the morning and coming back to look after him and me and my brother left its mark on me.

Nobody has done more at this early stage of their career, has done more than Mark has done. He's able to function. We just need him to function at a little better pace. He's a little late on a couple of throws, but he's making very good decisions. He hasn't turned the ball over in two days. You guys know how our defense gets after the ball. He's making good decisions. We just need him to make them a little bit quicker.

No fabricated resume can equal Mark Green's lifelong record of defending New Yorkers and working as the people's lawyer.

Neither one of those guys had ever played there, but they both stepped up. And (tackle) Mark Crawford, prior to last week, he hadn't played since eighth grade, but he's 6-2, 295 (pounds) with good speed. The whole group is so raw, but the technique will come. There is great upside.

O Baba, write such an account, that when it is asked for, it will bring the Mark of Truth.

Peter Harvey just doesn't seem to get it, ... His response completely missed the mark and is wholly unacceptable.

Philippine sovereignty is firm as we anticipate the issuance of the warrant of arrest against the suspects, which will mark the inception of the trial.

Obviously, the very nature of the allegation is devastating. His position is that he hasn't done anything wrong. He hasn't done anything inappropriate. It's a very difficult situation. A man that's had this history without any black mark on his record is entitled to some benefit of the doubt here.

Obviously this was one of those games where you had to get stops. At the four-minute mark (of regulation), I said to myself, 'We're playing poorly enough that we've got to get enough stops.' Ultimately, we did.

Right now I can play freely and get to that $10 million mark that everybody is talking about, ... If I don't get it, I've not played well the last two weeks. (The) next two weeks, the money is almost $100,000. I just have to play decent to get to that mark.

I have every confidence that these new leaders will help guide Koch Industries and its subsidiaries to an even more successful future. Collectively, Jim and Mark have spent more than 27 years of service in various Koch company roles. As individuals, they have consistently helped their respective teams perform successfully.

I'd like to thank Mark for what he's done in his time here.

I'd like to go Cup racing and Busch racing full time, but I've got to start somewhere and get my feet wet. The biggest question mark people have for me is, can I drive one of these cars? I'm doing one of each type of venue, hopefully try to do the best I can and maybe open up some doors.

I don't know whether he threw monsters into the mix or I said, 'Wouldn't it be cool to use monsters in it? Or S.H.I.E.L.D. got involved?' The next thing I know Mark calls me and goes, 'Hey, I pitched it to Joe and he likes it. Now we need someone to write it.' I'm thinking, 'What?' It just took on a life of it's own. It was almost one of these books that was going to happen whether we wanted it to or not.

If they can find another Mark McClellan hiding under a rock somewhere, it would be a good outcome.

Look, the magic age is not 35. It's all about your health. You first have to recognize what is so obvious this year was how unhealthy Mark was last year, and he never really said a lot about it. He was hurt, and he obviously compounded it by continuing to play. Now the legs are back, the arm strength is back.

When you consider that Symphony is currently limited to the niche of REO evictions and related post-foreclosure legal processes, reaching the 5,000 case mark in about a year's time is a good indicator of just how capable Symphony is, and of how well-received it has been. And, we are particularly pleased to have reached this milestone while maintaining a system uptime of over 99%, and with our users rating Symphony among the industry's best default-related technologies.

We need common-sense solutions to this problem that won't destroy our economy. Any measures that fail to address long-term economic impact and the emergence of technological innovation will miss the mark and ultimately cause more harm than good.

We?re setting a mark and expectations for the program. It says a lot about those youngsters, their work ethic and their never-say-die attitude.

Losing the person who is the head of their operations just diminishes credibility for their search and puts a larger question mark behind what they are doing. Overall, the move is not a good sign for their search prospects.

Leonard and Ali made their mark on network television, the Olympics ? Ali on 'Wide World of Sports,' Sugar Ray on ABC and so forth. By the time they were ready to go for the big bucks, they were household names. In this environment, it's much tougher.

Since he has taken over, the program has had unbelievable success. My job is to find someone who can continue to keep building the program like Mark did.

Mental toughness was the key. We were doing a good job of getting out and being where we wanted to be at the mile mark of races but would fall back in the middle part of the race. We did a good job by not falling back today (Thursday).

Mentors don't have to be the Daymond Johns or the Mark Cubans. A person running a successful bodega or a tax firm in your community for the last 20 years, that person is working just as much as the individual who's running General Mills.

MLK really left his mark even today and influences us in our community.

Mike's been shooting really well and he had two big ones. Mark had a couple as well.

McDonald's crossed the $20 billion mark for the first time in global sales and also did it while translating 12.7 percent of that into net income, which is very admirable for a restaurant company.

McGrath got his man and now, in the commentary box, Mark Nicholas and Tony Greig.

She is a fine example of a local resident who makes their mark in the world and then returns to help grow their community.

She is very creative, and more importantly, has the right attitude for an attacker. We feel she will make her mark up top and will score goals for Eastern Michigan.

She is really starting to make her mark on the national scene. She is a very determined person. Her intensity can be her strength and her weakness sometimes. Intensity is a great thing, but it doesn't have to be 24-7. I try to help her keep everything in perspective.

She did a good job of staying patient and not getting frustrated. She let the game come to her, which is the mark of a veteran player.

She had a good day. Her discus mark was a personal best for her.

Since 2001, annual increases have dropped from 4.72 to 3.64 percent. Barring any major economic changes, 2006 will mark the first year where salary increases are likely to climb.

Silent Assassin,' that's pretty much what he is. Because he's coming out of nowhere. He's consistent. You can depend on him. People had a question mark at that position after Antonio Pierce left. He's stepped in and done an excellent job.
