When you go to your local police officer, your police chief in the town you live in, big or small, he will tell you the vast majority of the weapons recovered at a crime scene are either stolen weapons, and/or they have been ‘lost‘ or stolen.
There’s sadness to anyone that dies before their time, and specifically ones that seem to affect people in a positive way. It doesn’t matter if it’s Whitney Houston or a nameless, faceless person on the street. That’s just as big of a tragedy for me.
Politicians who lack the vision to lead the community on big issues like public transport often hide their inaction by blaming other levels of government when anyone complains.
Fake news is a big thing in the field of Social Media Journalism. Fake news can be as simple has spreading misinformation.or as dangerous as smearing hateful propaganda.
I fear those big words which make us so unhappy.
A perfectly straight shot with a big club is a fluke.
Everyone is trying to accomplish something big, not realizing that life is made up of little things.
Frank A. Clark
So in our pride we ordered for breakfast an omelet, toast and coffee and what has just arrived is a tomato salad with onions, a dish of pickles, a big slice of watermelon and two bottles of cream soda.
There’s a big, wonderful world out there for you. It belongs to you. It’s exciting and stimulating and rewarding. Don’t cheat yourselves out of this promise.
Don’t go getting mixed up in the business of your betters, or you’ll land in trouble too big for you.
Government is too big and too important to be left to the politicians.
Chester Bowles
It’s a really paradoxical thing. We want to think big, but start small. And then scale fast. People think about trying to build the next Facebook as trying to start where Facebook is today, as a major global presence.
Before broadcasting for 50-some years, I did TV, played 10 years in the big leagues, won a world championship – and played a big part in that, too, letting the Cardinals inject me with hepatitis. Takes a big man to do that.
I’m a fun-loving guy. I enjoy my life. I have a big kid inside me.
To look at the cross-section of any plan of a big city is to look at something like the section of a fibrous tumor.
If you have a reputation as a big, stiff bureaucracy, you’re stuck.
It's always special when you receive an award. Up here

It’s always special when you receive an award. Up here in the big leagues is special.
The predominant theory of the origin of the universe is the Big Bang.
I never officially came out in any kind of really public way. I just always lived very simply and openly, but the press has never made a big fuss about me or said anything to me.
I think the only way I could make something fun and big is if I don’t expect it to be.
I want to be motivational and inspirational for everybody: my big aim is more women on bicycles.
Marianne Vos
When I get older, I don’t think I’ll like to have wrinkles, or a big jelly belly. I cannot have it.
I’m not as big a soccer fan as people might imagine, being British.
When ordering lunch, the big executives are just as indecisive as the rest of us.
I don’t think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don’t think he’s a big football fan.
I love having short hair – that means I can wear big earrings and even dresses sometimes without me feeling too feminine.
Rhetoric is a poor substitute for action, and we have trusted only to rhetoric. If we are really to be a great nation, we must not merely talk; we must act big.
Most of my childhood is a big blur, ’cause I needed better glasses.
Love is the big booming beat which covers up the noise of hate.
Life is pretty simple: You do some stuff. Most fails. Some works. You do more of what works. If it works big, others quickly copy it. Then you do something else. The trick is the doing something else.
I better make the plot good. I wanted to make it grip people on the first page and have a big turning point in the middle, as there is, and construct the whole thing like a roller coaster ride.
When I am behind and I am looking ahead and there is that line in front of you, of that guy, of winning and losing, then I really hang it out there and take big risks to make the speed up, and then I’m pretty good at passing.
Nate Holland
Elections should be held on April 16th- the day after we pay our income taxes. That is one of the few things that might discourage politicians from being big spenders.
My mother is a big believer in being responsible for your own happiness. She always talked about finding joy in small moments and insisted that we stop and take in the beauty of an ordinary day. When I stop the car to make my kids really see a sunset, I hear my mother’s voice and smile.
Sometimes I feel my whole life has been one big rejection.
When I first starting making money, when I first made my first six-digits, I was – my big thing was I went to put super unleaded in my truck for the first time.
All you need is lots and lots of data and lots of information about what the right answer is, and you’ll be able to train a big neural net to do what you want.
When you’re a big sister, it’s a great job. I don’t know how little sisters feel about their job, but when you’re a big sister, you’re supposed to take care of everything. And you feel good about it. I do.
Apart from being motivation for themselves, I think big givers should also talk about their philanthropy so that their work and their success stories prove inspirational enough for many others to follow.
Your spoken voice is a part of it – not a big part of it, but it’s something. It puts people at ease, and once again kind of reaches out and makes a bridge for what’s otherwise difficult music.
America is dumb. It’s like a dumb puppy that has big teeth that can bite and hurt you – aggressive. My daughter is four; my boy is one. I’d like them to see America as a toy – a broken toy. Investigate it a little, check it out, get this feeling, and then get out.
Bangladesh is not a rich country, but we have a big heart.
Nothing is cooler and more attractive than a big comeback, and that’ll be me.
My explosiveness, I really couldn’t show it at UCLA. It’s still there. It’s always been there. It was not a lot of running. It was a half-court game. Coach Howland came from the Big East, and so you know that’s a grind out game.
Shabazz Muhammad
I grew up where, when a door closed, a window didn’t open. The only thing I had was cracks. I’d do everything to get through those cracks – scratch, claw, bite, push, bleed. Now the opportunity is here. The door is wide open, and it’s as big as a garage.
I think gratitude is a big thing. It puts you in a place where you’re humble.
With the computer and stuff, the difference between a rich guy and a poor guy, to me, is nothing. Because I don’t like big houses, I don’t drive a car, so you know, I just live in a small apartment and I have my computer, which is really cool.
Even the government understands that the environmental

Even the government understands that the environmental challenge is so big that no single agency can handle it. It needs collaboration among all the stakeholders – companies, governments, NGOs and the public. Public accountability will be the ultimate driving force.
Regarding marriage, it – somehow, it didn’t happen. One fellow in such a big family not getting married is not an issue.
I’m a big believer in everybody being themselves. If not doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, that’s great. But if doing a swimsuit calendar is yourself, then you should be able to do it. What I do outside the car adds to who I am and expresses a different side of me.
I’ve suffered rib injuries, but I’ve never had a broken one. I’ve dislocated it and popped it, and even that, a big step down from broken, it hurts so bad. But you can’t really move. You can’t even fully breathe and take a deep breath of air.
I am a big fan of white sheets, hotel bedding and white towels!
I am a big movie buff. So, I make sure I watch two-three movies a week, not many because I don’t want to get addicted.
Boeing just took $20 billion and 10 years to improve the efficiency of their planes by 10 percent. That’s pretty lame. I have a design in mind for a vertical liftoff supersonic jet that would be a really big improvement.
What do I geek out about? What am I? Hmmm. I love movies. I watch movies. I like big, sweeping epics, like Ed Zwick stuff: ‘The Last Samurai,’ ‘Legends of the Fall,’ ‘Blood Diamond,’ ‘Glory.’
Government is like a baby. An alimentary canal with a big appetite at one end and no sense of responsibility at the other.
Schizoaffective disorder is a big mental mash-up of a disease. It combines just about every disorder, from depression, delusions, and paranoia to mania, schizophrenia and hallucinations. My mother bounced between all of these regularly while raising me alone in our Hollywood home.
If I had an ego as big as the Eiffel Tower, would I have won this many collective trophies? I know people like to talk about it. And O.K., I am not going to answer every story. But maybe I will let my collective trophies speak for themselves. I don’t know many other footballers who have won as much. Do you?
Many big and small things happen in our lives, almost on daily basis, and I hope that everyone would not lose the trust that they have in themselves, and never lose positive attitude.
Gong Hyo-jin
My father, Oliver Hynes, was an educator. He was originally just a teacher, a very good one, but then he was promoted to be in charge of education for the entire area. He was always an inspirational teacher. He was my big personal supporter, always coming here for the Tony Awards. My mother, Carmel, was a homemaker.
Garry Hynes
You have to have a dream, whether big or small. Then plan well, focus, work hard, and be very determined to achieve your goals.
Details create the big picture.
If I love you, I show you I love you every day. Little things, big things.
Organic food is the best for you, and I’m eating the best, a lot of fresh vegetables. I also keep myself hydrated. It’s all made a big difference to my performance in the gym.
There are times when even the best manager is like the little boy with the big dog, waiting to see where the dog wants to go so he can take him there.
The fiesta of soccer, a feast for the legs that play and the eyes that watch, is much more than a big business run by overlords from Switzerland. The most popular sport in the world wants to serve the people who embrace it.
To those leaning on the sustaining infinite, today is big with blessings.
Mary Baker Eddy
I’m not a big fan of doing what my mother wants me to do, like any daughter.
If ‘Chicago Fire’ goes for a long run, maybe I’ll look for a place, but in my line of work, you can’t throw your eggs into one basket because you might have to move. I’m not big on ‘things,’ though, so I don’t own TVs, couches or cars because I wouldn’t know where to put them.
Taylor Kinney
If what you did yesterday seems big, you haven‘t done anything today.
My feet ain’t got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller’s got big feet, soon the feet start looking big.
Satchel Paige
I’m hungry to learn, so I always have my big ears open fully, ready to learn every single minute when I play.
Hiromi Uehara
If Google teaches you anything, it’s that small ideas can be big.
I’m a Navy brat. You find that a lot of stage actors are Army or Navy brats, because they have the ability to make a big impression, make friends, and then leave just a few months later.
John Michael Higgins
If you like the outdoors, Colorado is a big adventure playground for adults: it’s great for skiing, cycling, climbing, and hiking.
Tyler Hamilton
You can’t pee like a puppy if you wanna run with the big dogs.
I’m trying to do big things. It doesn’t matter whether it’s on the field or off the field.
Five years from now I see myself still working hard to get where I want to be, because I think big.
Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made u

Life is made up of small pleasures. Happiness is made up of those tiny successes. The big ones come too infrequently. And if you don’t collect all these tiny successes, the big ones don’t really mean anything.
I like doing things that are different, unexpected, and where I feel that either the role feels like a natural fit for me or it’s a really big swing that I don’t know if I’m going to connect on.
When I took over Louis Vuitton, everyone said, ‘It’s already so big – what more can you do?’ And since then, we’ve multiplied that success tenfold.
I want anyone who believes in life, liberty, pursuit of happiness to succeed. And I want any force, any person, any element of an overarching Big Government that would stop your success, I want that organization, that element or that person to fail. I want you to succeed.
I’m not a big fan of food, but when I do eat, I like to eat.
I think the idea is that every time we perform Big Red Machine music it should be different somehow – like, different people, different songs maybe, definitely different versions of the songs.
One of biggest lies in politics is the lie that Republicans are the party of big business. Big business does great with big government. Big business is very happy to climb in bed with big government. Republicans are and should be the party of small business and of entrepreneurs.
I enjoy my food. I like to grill; I do that a lot. I like meat and have big dinnerssteak, red meat splurges, prime cuts.
Taylor Kinney
Starting a business and building a product are not for the faint of heart. You have to learn to not let little disappointments get you down and to stay focused on the big picture.
Baseball is a game based on adversity. It’s a game that’s going to test you repeatedly. It’s going to find your weaknesses and vulnerabilities and force you to adjust. That adversity, in the big picture, is a really good thing because it shows you where your weaknesses are. It gives you the opportunity to improve.
Many people in their teens wonder about these big questions – what’s the meaning of life, what are we doing here – then somewhere in their 20s, they seem to say, ‘I’ll just get married. I’ll just have kids. I’ll get back to that later.’ But they never do. For me, it kept boiling.
The world’s pretty big. I have to see everything, do everything, eat everything. You’ll never be as young as you are right now, so while your legs still work, while you still have the breath in your lungs, go. At the end of our lives, we only regret the things we didn’t do.
I’d like to congratulate myself, and thank myself, and give myself a big pat on the back.
Dee Dee Ramone
Life is like dancing. If we have a big floor, many people will dance. Some will get angry when the rhythm changes. But life is changing all the time.
Me personally, I want to entertain people above all. When you look back at burlesque in history and the real golden age of burlesque, those entertainers were there to entertain, and there wasn’t usually some big political message behind what they were doing.
Little things can make such a big difference during recording.
I learned some valuable lessons about the legislative process, the importance of bipartisan cooperation and the wisdom of taking small steps to get a big job done.
Life is one big road with lots of signs. So when you riding through the ruts, don’t complicate your mind. Flee from hate, mischief and jealousy. Don’t bury your thoughts, put your vision to reality. Wake Up and Live!
The first World Cup I remember was in the 1950 when I was 9 or 10 years old. My father was a soccer player, and there was a big party, and when Brazil lost to Uruguay, I saw my father crying.
My first job is big sister and I take that very seriously.
I used to work in ‘Big Brother’ in the third series, I was a logger, which was the worst of all jobs, you had to sit and watch what happens and type it into a computer.
Think big thoughts but relish small pleasures.
My idea of heaven is a great big baked potato and someone to share it with.
Mentors of mine were under a big pressure to minimize their femininity to make it. I’m not going to do that. That takes away my power. I’m not going to compromise who I am.
The NICS database has holes big enough to drive a Mack truck through.
A big problem for me was opening for Limp Bizkit and Linkin Park, two bands that wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for me, straight up!
It is unfortunately true that our generation and that of your parents have left you with a big mess that will now be yours to clean up: wars, budget challenges, pollution, global warming, battles of health care, natural disasters. They’re all there for you. We’re willing those to you. Are you ready?
John Morgridge
The big difference between couture and ready-to-wear is not design. It is the fabrics, the handwork, and the fittings. The act of creation is the same.
I’m a big advocate of drones.
There’s a big difference between falling in love and being in love. There’s a big difference between infatuation and falling in love.
Many leaders of big organizations, I think, don’t believe that change is possible. But if you look at history, things do change, and if your business is static, you’re likely to have issues.
Space is big. The whole point of the frontier is that w

Space is big. The whole point of the frontier is that we go there to do new things in new places – not one place, and not one thing, but all of the above.
See, ‘A Time to Kill’ was the one I got famous off of. Big ka-boom, over one weekend. After that, I did films that I really wanted to do.
My first big mission for UNICEF in Ethiopia was just to attract attention, before it was too late, to conditions which threatened the whole country. My role was to inform the world, to make sure that the people of Ethiopia were not forgotten.
It’s cool when people know you more, but I like people to treat me regular when they see me. I take pictures. I don’t really be big on people looking at me.
Forgive, O Lord, my little jokes on Thee, and I’ll forgive Thy great big joke on me.
If you can react the same way to winning and losing, that’s a big accomplishment. That quality is important because it stays with you the rest of your life, and there’s going to be a life after tennis that’s a lot longer than your tennis life.
I’m a big fan of dreams. Unfortunately, dreams are our first casualty in life – people seem to give them up, quicker than anything, for a ‘reality.’
There are artists, true performers that have come before me who have been a big inspiration to me. I hope I do the same for others.
There’s always going to be someone out there… who doesn’t believe in you or who thinks your head is too big or you’re not smart enough. But those are the people you need to ignore, and those are the times you need to just keep doing what you love doing.
Don’t waste time on what’s not important. Don’t get sucked into the drama. Get on with it: don’t dwell on the past. Be a big person; be generous of spirit; be the person you’d admire.
Allegra Huston
Every opportunity that comes your way, you can’t take lightly. You have to take it very, very seriously, because the opportunities are limited. If you want to keep working, you can’t be such an elitist, to say no, that’s not good enough, not big enough, not smart enough, whatever.
Chris Klein
When Paul Allen and I started Microsoft over 30 years ago, we had big dreams about software. We had dreams about the impact it could have.
If you look at the common denominator of all the comics who have had big success, it’s being true to their nature… that’s what takes a long time to learn.
I have a big head, so I can appreciate a good hat.
Attitude and enthusiasm play a big part in my life. I get excited about the things that inspire me. I also believe in laughing and having a good time.
The invasion of Iraq, particularly, gave a big shot in the arm to the jihadi extremists.
If you want to win, you have to beat the big teams in Europe, and Juventus are awesome.
I bet taxpayers remember providing more than $812 billion to Citigroup and Bank of America, two Wall Street banks, in 2009 to bail them out during the 2008 financial crisis. Taxpayers remember that generosity; big banks evidently don’t.
Smile in the mirror. Do that every morning and you’ll start to see a big difference in your life.
Growing up, I knew I was different. But I didn’t know what it meant to be Aboriginal. I just knew that I had a really big, extended family. I was taught nothing about who we were or where we came from.
The music is the message, the message is the music. So that’s my little ministry that the Big Man upstairs gave to me – a little ministry called love and happiness.
I think the big mistake in schools is trying to teach children anything, and by using fear as the basic motivation. Fear of getting failing grades, fear of not staying with your class, etc. Interest can produce learning on a scale compared to fear as a nuclear explosion to a firecracker.
You couldn’t enclose people in institutions or hospitals or almshouses in the way the Victorians managed to do. India was too big. Seeing the suffering people was terrible, but I think I was more distraught at the needless cruelty to so many animals.
If you can’t do the little things right, you will never do the big things right.
I’m a big cardigan sweater guy.
Big jobs usually go to the men who prove their ability to outgrow small ones.
We have a big appetite for putting people down but, at the heart of everyone, there’s enough room for all of us to succeed.
I have a really big mouth, I have a lot of opinions and I will be heard.
I’m a big believer in picking your boss, not the job. Great people create great jobs.
Our mission is to accelerate the development of a better financial system; it’s not just development of a better Bitcoin financial system, and so we want to back the best teams, who have the biggest ideas, unique solutions to big problems.
Barry Silbert
Don’t be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.
Money was a big differentiator when I was growing up, b

Money was a big differentiator when I was growing up, but I made sure it doesn’t stay that way.
I know and do what is right better than many big men who read.
I don’t find acting to be a particularly noble way to make a living. I’m not saving anybody‘s life, I’m not a teacher, I’m not working for UNICEF. I don’t think I’m some big deal.
I’m sometimes scared of everything that has happened to us. We didn’t think Desilu Productions would grow so big. We merely wanted to be together and have two children.
Big Mike Meyer was my real dad as far as I was concerned.
Every great work, every big accomplishment, has been brought into manifestation through holding to the vision, and often just before the big achievement, comes apparent failure and discouragement.
Florence Scovel Shinn
Your heaviest artillery will be your will to live. Keep that big gun going.
A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.
As you get older, your tastes get simpler. I like a sleek evening dress with a pair of big earrings. That’s all.
I’ve been misunderstood when it comes to women. I’ve got a big heart and a little brain. But I love women being women; there’s something about their skin. I do love strong, independent women, but they are definitely complicated.
The big advantage that we have as a venture capital firm over a hedge fund or a mutual fund is we have a 13-year lockup on our money. And so enterprise can go in and out of fashion four different times, and we can go and invest in one of these companies, and it’s okay, because we can stay the course.
I’m not a big fan of psychoanalysis: I think if you have mental problems what you need are good pills. But I do think that if you have thinks that bother you, things that are unresolved, the more that you talk about them, write about them, the less serious they become.
When I was 5 years old, we had nothing in the village. One day, in front of my house, some soldiers in a big Cadillac started to do a picnic. I looked at them like they were coming from the moon. I remember they gave me a box of rice pudding – that, for me, was the American Dream.
Renzo Rosso
When you’re getting ready to launch into space, you’re sitting on a big explosion waiting to happen.
I’m not that big a celebrity. I’m just an ordinary person.
There is not enough funding for basic sciences in India. We have to invest in a big way, and I am pushing that idea.
I support Real Madrid. I’m a big fan of Cristiano Ronaldo.
Life is inherently risky. There is only one big risk you should avoid at all costs, and that is the risk of doing nothing.
Hey, I didn’t make a big deal out of Hotel California. The 18 million people that bought it did.
Glenn Frey
Supplements have always been a really big part of my training regimen.
I love the big fresh starts, the clean slates like birthdays and new years, but I also really like the idea that we can get up every morning and start over.
I would never want Ukraine to be a piece on the map, on the chessboard of big global players, so that someone could toss us around, use us as cover, as part of some bargain.
I feel like I have a big forehead.
Don’t think in the morning. That’s a big mistake that people make. They wake up in the morning and they start thinking. Don’t think. Just execute the plan. The plan is the alarm clock goes off, you get up, you go work out. Get some.
Think little goals and expect little achievements. Think big goals and win big success.
David Joseph Schwartz
There’s a big difference between being racist and racially insensitive.
I’m not an expert on India-Pakistan relations, but, Pakistan is big enough without Kashmir and India too is big enough without Kashmir.
We should be too big to take offense and too noble to give it.
I worked in a Starbucks that wasn’t very popular – before the big coffee boom in London. My boss didn’t take kindly to my incessant sitting. I was like, ‘Look, I’ve dusted everything, the stockroom is all figured out… I would rather sit now so I have the energy when a customer does come in.’
I remember acting in a school play about the melting pot when I was very little. There was a great big pot onstage. On the other side of the pot was a little girl who had dark hair, and she and I were representing the Italians. And I thought: Is that what an Italian looked like?
Love is what makes the world go around. I know it's a b

Love is what makes the world go around. I know it’s a big cliche to use, but it is the absolute truth. There is nothing else like it. I know that is what everybody is striving to feel: in relationships, in brother- and sisterhood, and in all of the things that we aspire to have in our lives.
I live by ‘Go big or go home.’ That’s with everything. It’s like either commit and go for it or don’t do it at all. I apply that to everything. I apply that to relationships, I apply that to like sports, I apply that to everything. That’s what I live by. That’s how I like it.
Girls’ weekend with the ‘Vampire Diaries‘ girls has become a big deal! It’s our quality time. It’s so much fun to unload and not feel guilty complaining or talking about your insecurities or bonding over things that you thought you were on your own about.
I have a big problem with piped music. I like either silence or to listen to it properly.
You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don’t believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can’t possibly foresee now.
Negative emotions like loneliness, envy, and guilt have an important role to play in a happy life; they’re big, flashing signs that something needs to change.
We all, as engineers, doctors, have a big responsibility to bring smiles on the faces of suffering humanity.
This may sound a bit naive, but I got here by believing in big dreams.
I dream pretty big, but truly had no idea my life could be this awesome. I am the luckiest girl in the world, without question!
The only big things I’ve purchased are my dad’s heart valve and a Rolls-Royce for my parents, for their anniversary. And that was only because my dad had a Lady Gaga license plate on our old car and it was making me crazy because he was getting followed everywhere, so I bought him a new car.
To be a good citizen, it’s important to be able to put yourself in other people’s shoes and see the big picture. If everything you see is rooted in your own identity, that becomes difficult or impossible.
Eli Pariser
We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.
I work out Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday; take Thursday off; then I work out Friday and Saturday. So sometimes I’ll eat whatever I want on Thursday, like a big breakfast of pancakes and bacon and eggs and stuff. You can eat a big, hearty breakfast because you’re going to burn off most of it during the day anyway.
Probably because I’m from a middle class family, I have that nature in me that I don’t get too excited with big things.
I played some ping pong with the guys on the T’Wolves team. I might have been the champ on that team, too. But ping pong is a big part of my life. I grew up playing it against my brother and my father when I was young. They used to kick my behind for a long time, so I got very good at it.
Think big; think disruptive. Execute with full passion.
Small gestures can have a big impact.
Sometimes I feel like I don’t dream big enough.
We are all in this together. We will all make it or none of us will make it. If everyone cleans up their act except one big ole country, it isn’t going to work.
I don’t look at negative comments because my parents and family don’t let me. My big sister controls my Instagram, and my big brother controls my Twitter. I also don’t really Google myself or anything like that.
I always say, ‘To have a big dream requires the same effort as having a small dream. Dream big!’
Jorge Paulo Lemann
Although the big word on the left is ‘compassion,’ the big agenda on the left is dependency.
People are really hesitant about expressing that they don’t know something – but what’s the big deal? I’m not ashamed about that at all.
Tracy McGrady
There’s some jerks. There’s some big egos. There are a few that think they’re one of the Founding Fathers… in both parties.
The five big mistakes in football are the fumble, the interception, the penalty, the badly called play, the blocked punt – and most of these originate with the quarterback. Find a mistake-proof quarterback and you have this game won.
Woody Hayes
I was a child actor in ‘Deliverance,’ but not the banjo player. It was my dad’s big movie as a director, and at the very end there’s a scene where Jon Voight comes home to his wife. I played his young son.
Believing that no one is better than the other. You know I grew up in the South. My senior year there was a very big racial tension.
Brethren, let us mind our own business – that is, the calling the Lord has called us to – to do everything we can to promote the good of the Cause of Truth, and never ask how big we are, or inquire who we are; but let it be, ‘What can I do to build up the Kingdom of God upon the Earth?’
Brigham Young
For me, training is my meditation, my yoga, hiking, biking all rolled into one. Wake up early in the morning, generally around 4 o’clock, and I’ll do my cardio on an empty stomach. Stretch, have a big breakfast, and then I’ll go train.
I am the literary equivalent of a Big Mac and fries.
People like crap. It doesn’t matter. I think if you have a big mouth and you perform so-so, it is what it is. People are going to notice you more. Nice guys come last. Let’s say it like that.
A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart e

A man must be big enough to admit his mistakes, smart enough to profit from them, and strong enough to correct them.
I’ve always been a big believer in diversification for anybody. It’s never good to put all of your efforts and all of your time and all of your financial resources into just one project. Diversification is key for any individual and any business.
There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person.
I’m still a kid. I’m like six years old. But it’s just a matter of wanting to get up, it’s just a big journey. I felt like when I left home that I was on a journey, and I still am.
A Parliament is nothing less than a big meeting of more or less idle people.
I want a big house with a moat and dragons and a fort to keep people out.
Not to sound corny, but intelligence is big. Everything fades, and everything can be modified. But intelligence is something you can’t fake. I’m not even talking about whether you can read a thesaurus backwards. But there is a beauty in common sense.
I always loved horror, but I read all sorts of books. My favourite as a child was ‘The Secret Garden‘ which has a big influence on Lord Loss, believe it or not!
Darren Shan
There’s nobody who has as big of a real-time logistics network than Uber.
You can make something big when young that will carry you through life. Look at all the big startups like Microsoft, Apple, Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. They were all started by very young people who stumbled on something of unseen value. You’ll know it when you hit a home run.
Everybody said you’re never going to win this whole Classic. You’re not strong enough. You’re big, you’re athletic, you’re fast – but you will never win this Arnold Classic. Those were the people who didn’t believe in me… I put in the work every single day – and here I am, three times champ!
People like me sound like a lot of big cannons.
A whole bunch of big technological shocks occurred when Asian innovationspaper, gunpowder, the stirrup, the moldboard plow and so on – came to Europe via the Silk Road.

I’m a big personality. I walk into a room, big and tall and loud.
I’m a big dog fan. They’re the best. They make life better, although they’re hard to deal with. But complications in life are actually what make it fun.

Big pay and little responsibility are circumstances seldom found together.
I want to be that Latin girl doing big things around the world.
I know you want me to let you in on some big secret to success in the NBA. The secret is there is no secret. It’s just boring old habits.
I’ve been bitten by a python. Not a very big one. I was being silly, saying: ‘Oh, it’s not poisonous…’ Then, wallop! But you have fear around animals.
For ‘Hercules,’ I went for the demigod look: big and mean. When you’re playing a character like the son of Zeus, you only get one shot.
My favorite fall or winter lunch is big steaming bowls of soup. I usually invite people for around 12:30 and have two hearty soups like shrimp corn chowder and lentil sausage soup, which can be made a day or two ahead.
Free enterprise makes people prosperous, all people prosperous, and big government makes people poorer.
When my girlfriend‘s away, I cook a big vat of meaty pasta and sauce and eat that for about a week. Then I eat out the rest of the time. When she’s home, we eat at home probably twice a week. I chop, she cooks.
I see a lot of actors for whom life becomes one big schedule. I guess I try to be more sensitive to my private life – to take a breath of fresh air and be in the countryside or on a golf course.
A lot of people knew at the national tournaments that I was a big puncher. We were known as ‘Samson,’ the boy with the long hair.
Friendship is an arrangement by which we undertake to exchange small favors for big ones.
The Royal Family are not like you and me. They live in houses so big that you can walk round all day and never need to meet your spouse. The Queen and Prince Philip have never shared a bedroom in their lives. They don’t even have breakfast together.
We also cannot allow Wall Street banks to rewrite the Second Amendment just because they’re too big to fail.
I’m actually not a big coffee fan, so I don’t drink it that much. I’d rather have a green tea. But I do love to get a white mocha sometimes – it is just a strong order.
Emeraude Toubia

Speak softly and carry a big stick; you will go far.
You will find that the State is the kind of organization which, though it does big things badly, does small things badly, too.
You need a big ego to be an artist.
That’s called a microphone. It’s a big sausage that picks up everything you say – and you’re starting early.
You can be beautiful with big breasts; you can be beautiful in your 40s. If you don’t have perfect ankles, still you can move your legs in a certain way and look very sexy.
I do remember meeting ‘The Donald.’ He seemed to really enjoy the WrestleMania 4 battle royal. He watched me take a very hard front turnbuckle bump, and it seemed to stun him that I wasn’t seriously hurt. Backstage, Trump gave me a big smile and a handshake.
Take risks. Ask big questions. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes; if you don’t make mistakes, you’re not reaching far enough.
David Packard
Space is big. You just won’t believe how vastly, hugely, mind-bogglingly big it is. I mean, you may think it’s a long way down the road to the drug store, but that’s just peanuts to space.
The DJ role, it’s never been a big thing for me.
It’s great if a pilot starts off great and if it doesn’t start off so great it’s not that big a deal: everybody’s baby is born ugly. But you want to know, if given the opportunity: Where are we going? What’s the story we’re trying to tell?
A few good words don’t just make your day but they also give the sense of belonging and confidence to take the next big step forward.

We only live once, so I want to think big.
In terms of playing ability there is nothing to choose between number one and 100. Instead, it’s a question of who believes and who wants it more? Which player is mentally stronger? Which player is going to fight the hardest in the big points? These are the things that determine who is the champion.
Philosophy is common sense with big words.
I have no words to express and completely speechless to talk about him. I am a big fan of Vidyut.
The desktop metaphor was invented because one, you were a stand-alone device, and two, you had to manage your own storage. That’s a very big thing in a desktop world. And that may go away. You may not have to manage your own storage. You may not store much before too long.
I didn’t come from any money, but even when I was on ‘Big Love’ – people think you’re on a series and you’re making bank.
Big sisters are the crab grass in the lawn of life.
Charles M. Schulz
The radiation left over from the Big Bang is the same as that in your microwave oven but very much less powerful. It would heat your pizza only to minus 271.3*C – not much good for defrosting the pizza, let alone cooking it.
A fish with a big mouth, like a catfish, they’ve been known to bite people’s legs. Normally not because they’re hungry, but because they’re protecting a nest or something like that.
They criticize me for harping on the obvious; if all the folks in the United States would do the few simple things they know they ought to do, most of our big problems would take care of themselves.

Broadway‘s a little different from Houston, but it’s not a big difference.
Breakfast is a big deal. I love it.
Joey Lawrence
By climbing mountains we were not learning how big we were. We were finding out how breakable, how weak and how full of fear we are.
I have a big problem with people who glamorize dumbness and demonize education and intellect. And I’m giving a pretty good description of Sarah Palin right now.

Jorge Paulo Lemann
Some sunshine is good for the soul, but I always make sure I wear a big hat.
Bollywood music is definitely a big part of Indian music and can be a great way to introduce people to the sound. But I hope to continue to incorporate other types of Indian music into my work.
Every man deserves a castle; doesn't matter how big you

Every man deserves a castle; doesn’t matter how big your castle is.
Good planning is important. I’ve also regarded a sense of humor as one of the most important things on a big expedition. When you’re in a difficult or dangerous situation, or when you’re depressed about the chances of success, someone who can make you laugh eases the tension.
The more you focus on sex without love, and drugs and violence, lifestyle of intimidation and recycling, the less energy you spend on opening up the big tent.
I’m an optimistic guy. I’m one of those big dreamers. I’m one of those kids with that annoying imagination.
It is difficult to think of a major industry that AI will not transform. This includes healthcare, education, transportation, retail, communications, and agriculture. There are surprisingly clear paths for AI to make a big difference in all of these industries.
I grew up in an era of pretty severe poverty. My parents weathered the Great Depression, and money was always a very big concern. I was weaned on a shortage mentality and placed in foster homes largely because there simply wasn’t enough money to take care of the most basic of needs.
I went to University of Illinois team camp. And that was a big deal for me. I got MVP of the camp, but they offered another kid from the camp, which was fine. I laughed with the couple coaches I know who were there at the time, who were part of recruiting the other guy.
All of the great social justice advances that we ever had in this country have come not from people with big titles and not from people at the top, but just from everyday people getting together saying ‘Enough is enough. I’m going to change this, and I’m going to get involved, and I am going to be engaged.’
I feel like, at times, I’ve been seen as the dirty stepchild of Australian comedy. I think there’s a few people out there that are pissed off that I made it big overseas.
Gay marriage is absolutely something that I am in full support of and a big advocate of, and I think it’s an important issue, but there’s a reason that I don’t talk about politics and why I’ll never be in politics. I am not the person to ever do that.
Jamie-Lynn Sigler
I have beautiful, beautiful clothes, designed by my bachelor boy son, Kenny. Kenny has a big following as it is, and even Lady Gaga has asked Kenny to design dresses for her. But Kenny isn’t very keen on, well, shall we say, extreme women. He likes someone that women all over the world can identify with.
Violence is a big problem. Too many children are dying. Too many children. We must do something.
When I had money in the past, I would always travel rather than spend it on big apartments or cars. And I still feel exactly the same way.
Oprah Winfrey is a big role model for me from a business capacity and a creative capacity. She is an incredible interviewer who cultivated a certain style by inserting her own personhood into a show on national television at a time when no one was talking about empowerment, spirituality, or our inner lives.
Food is my favourite thing in the world. I always say if I ate what I actually wanted to eat I’d be in one of those electronic scooters because I’d be too big.
Make big plans; aim high in hope and work, remembering that a noble, logical diagram once recorded will not die, but long after we are gone be a living thing, asserting itself with ever-growing insistence.
Daniel Burnham
People think that the Middle East is very complex but I have an analogy that sums it up quite well. If you imagine that Palestine is a big cake, well… that cake is being punched to pieces by a very angry Jew.
At the start of my two years at Juventus, I had big plans for the club, but it turned out that the Intertoto Cup was the only medal in my desk drawer when finally they told me to pack my bags. We started the first season really well, and Conte was so important for me.
Remember that life’s big changes rarely give advance warning.

I am happy to make money. I want to make more money, make more music, eat Big Macs and drink Budweisers.
I’m having a great time. It’s like I’m on some ridiculous big roller coaster not knowing what’s happening next, but just having a great time on the ride.
Samantha Mumba
But if you can’t relish playing in big games like this then it’s not worth it.
Hackers are breaking the systems for profit. Before, it was about intellectual curiosity and pursuit of knowledge and thrill, and now hacking is big business.
It does the American economy no long-term good to only keep the big box factories where we are now assembling ‘American’ products that are composed primarily of foreign components. We need to manufacture those components in a robust domestic supply chain that will spur job and wage growth.
Surfing big waves is not an extreme sport to me. I fall off, tumble down, and come up. My heart’s racing because I’m thinking I almost drowned, and I thank God I can breathe again, but I always think, ‘What am I hitting?’ Water.
My job as a DJ and a producer is just to have a big encyclopedia in my head.
You only need to make one big score in finance to be a hero forever.
Merton Miller
Governments will always play a huge part in solving big problems. They set public policy and are uniquely able to provide the resources to make sure solutions reach everyone who needs them. They also fund basic research, which is a crucial component of the innovation that improves life for everyone.
Believe me, the next step is a currency crisis because there will be a rejection of the dollar, the rejection of the dollar is a big, big event, and then your personal liberties are going to be severely threatened.
I have really big alien eyes, so the more mascara the better.
When I went out on tour as Bing Hitler I would hook up

When I went out on tour as Bing Hitler I would hook up with Lenny and we’d get drunk together. He was always very supportive. He was a big star and a lot of what he said to me had power and impact. Apart from that, I just like him.
As a remedy to life in society I would suggest the big city. Nowadays, it is the only desert within our means.
Let there be an end to the arrogance of the big powers who miss no opportunity to put the rights of the people in question. Africa‘s absence from the club of those who have the right to veto is unjust and should be ended.
Thomas Sankara
Everybody has an idea of the tsunami of being a big wave. It is not a big wave. It is a huge amount of water that comes to land.
Juan Antonio Bayona
And when an architect has designed a house with large windows, which is a necessity today in order to pull the daylight into these very deep houses, then curtains come to play a big role in architecture.
Loyalty is a big part of football, and it shows if you are a real man or not.
Dream small dreams. If you make them too big, you get overwhelmed and you don’t do anything. If you make small goals and accomplish them, it gives you the confidence to go on to higher goals.
John H. Johnson
Courage is willingness to take the risk once you know the odds. Optimistic overconfidence means you are taking the risk because you don’t know the odds. It’s a big difference.
As the years went by, working on Broadway, I started seeing that I had a fan base and that they were mostly young girls. They are looking for someone that they can look up to, that they see as a role model. And I don’t take that lightly; it’s a big responsibility.
Bianca Marroquin
But marriage goes in waves. You’ve got to be patient. People bail and give up on their marriages way too early. They just don’t put the work and the effort into it. You’ve got to suck up your ego a lot of times, because that can be a big downfall.
Anna Benson
I have worked out that I am living in London on £27 a day while David Cameron is claiming a damn sight more for his big house in Oxford.

You can’t jump from little things to big things. It just takes time and patience.
A government big enough to give you everything you want is a government big enough to take from you everything you have.
Prisons are big businesses, which I hadn’t realized. A lot of these name brand labels that we wear – they’re using prison labor and exploiting prisoners, who live in harsh conditions. People need to know about this kind of sweatshop labor, so they can decide what to spend their money on.
My favorite thing about being famous… it’s not really as big of a deal as everybody says it is. Being on the road is tough, doing interviews, and all the stuff. It’s still pretty tough.
Aaron Carter
I was the guy who had been bouncing around the film industry for years, and I’d been lucky if five or 10 people would see my movies, so Captain Jack did a big flip for my career.
I’m an old man. A big weekend for me is Home Depot and a Caesar salad.
What do I see when I look in the mirror? One handsome man. No, I see the same person I have seen for the last 27 years: the person I believed I could be when I was a child, the person I have inspired and dreamed to be all my life, and that’s the person I have seen, from being that big to as big as the roof – the same guy.
When I was learning to drive, I thought the big milestones were changing gear, changing lane, and three-point-turns.
Money is the probably the most successful story ever told. It has no objective value… but then you have these master storytellers: the big bankers, the finance ministers… and they come, and they tell a very convincing story.
I told Celine Dion not to record that ‘Titanic‘ song. That’s about as big as you can get. ‘Flashdance?’ I thought, ‘Welder by day, disco dancer by night – who wants to see that?’
David Foster
I think people forget that it doesn’t take a big donation to help someone, just a lot of little donations.
The idea of personal salvation is intensely repugnant to me when it is not absurd. Imagine Roosevelt, the big brute, preserving his personality in a future state and swaggering about as a celestial Rough Rider!
I’m a big, big, big techno dork.
I don’t think your ability to fight has anything to do with how big you are. It’s to do with how much anger is in you.
Vitiligo is just another difference, like freckles, big hair, tiny ears Everyone has differences.
