Your best ideas, those eureka moments that turn the world upside down, seldom come when you’re juggling emails, rushing to meet the 5 P.M. deadline or straining to make your voice heard in a high-stress meeting. They come when you’re walking the dog, soaking in the bath or swinging in a hammock.
We are always rushing to an appointment or trying to meet a deadline.
Menachem Mendel Schneerson
It was like an honor thing for me to meet 50 cause I respected his whole story.
Young Buck

I’d love to meet my ancestors. I’d love to be able to speak to them.
I’m the most un-diva-ish person you’ll meet. I’m never rude to people and I am always on time.

I am literally smaller than life. I am an unextraordinary-looking person. I’ve seen people trying to hide their disappointment when they meet me, and I have to watch them get over it.
Terry Gross

I don’t know if there is someone for everyone. Every person is so different and I don’t think there is an exact match for every person. If you meet someone and they have 20 of the 25 things you want in a person, then you’re pretty lucky.

It was a special thrill to meet, paint, and hang out with Ringo Starr.

Kevin Rose
I don’t date guys that I just meet randomly. I don’t feel comfortable meeting strangers.
Ali Landry
It’s like with a girl: it’s more fun to meet and slowly, gradually learn things about each other. A little mystery is always nice and it’s interesting to still learn new things about someone you are involved with.
Larry Wilcox
My background‘s working class. My parents had to work to make ends meet. We don’t come from any sense of privilege.

Why make life so dull when you can make it exciting and meet amazing people and go to countries and see things? You make life the way you want it to be.

It is only the Somalis themselves – and I don’t hide that fact when I meet the political leaders here – they themselves have to stop their old practices of fighting each other every time they have a problem. They have to learn how to do peaceful conflict resolution.

Perhaps McCain has opposed affirmative action for so long that he doesn’t know it’s about inviting more people to meet standards, not lowering them.

James Harden
I did meet ‘The Everly Brothers’ once, and we talked for awhile. Then we figured out we were first cousins! My late mother was the sister of Don and Phil’s father, Ike Everly.

Down in the south, it’s how we find the brownfield sites without taking too much land take to meet the tremendous demand for housing, and that’s what I’ve done.
Try to meet as many authors, agents, and editors as you can.
The thing people don’t understand is that touring or travelling or whatever you do in my position means you go to all these cool places all over the world, but you see everything from a car window. You don’t get to see much of the city or meet people at all.

I love the BlackBerry. I’m on it all the time. I literally wrote my whole book, ‘Unwrap Your Sweet Life,’ on the BlackBerry while I was working out on the StairMill. So many people tease me about having a BlackBerry, but I meet a lot of people who still use one. Obama has a BlackBerry!
Small miseries, like small debts, hit us in so many pla

Small miseries, like small debts, hit us in so many places, and meet us at so many turns and corners, that what they want in weight, they make up in number, and render it less hazardous to stand the fire of one cannon ball, than a volley composed of such a shower of bullets.

It is in the mind and the heart where we meet. It’s not the body-the body will change.

We meet before the movie and she gives you charts with sounds on them and makes a tape of examples. While they are setting up the scene, I go with her to the trailer and we go through the scene and correct the speech.
I come from a very humble background. My father had to work really hard to become an assistant director. For a large part of his youth, he worked in a mill and took up odd jobs to make ends meet. We lived in a small room and could only afford a meal a day.
A great man is made up of qualities that meet or make great occasions.
Class is the sure-footedness that comes with having proved you can meet life.
The Bible tells us that God will meet all our needs. He feeds the birds of the air and clothes the grass with the splendor of lilies. How much more, then, will He care for us, who are made in His image? Our only concern is to obey the heavenly Father and leave the consequences to Him.

Until we meet again, may the good Lord take a liking to you.
Roy Rogers
For the most part, the first thing people I meet that aren’t Mormon say is, ‘I grew up with a Mormon family. They’re the nicest people I know.’ So when I see these statistics that it’s the most hated religion, I don’t know where they’re getting that from.
I never smoked in my life. Neither did my mother. And so many women I meet whose mothers or aunts or whoever who have gotten lung cancer were no-time smokers.

At the ‘Times,’ all journalists on every subject followed the same rules and were supposed to meet the same standards, so I never really thought about fashion writing as being in a bubble.

I went to these mixers, you know, where you’re supposed to meet people. And sure enough, some guy asked me for my phone number. but at the end of the evening he gave it back.
Marcia Wallace

Edward Grey
I saw Derek Jacobi play Hamlet when I was 17, and he directed me as Hamlet when I was 27, and I directed him as Claudius in ‘Hamlet’ when I was 35, and I’m hoping we meet again in some other production of Hamlet before we both toddle off.
I don’t know, I think people who meet me just get pretty much what I am.
Melissa George
The only society I like is rough and tough, and the tou

Agnes Darling, if such should be we never meet again, while firing my last shot, I will gently breathe the name of my wife – Agnes – and with wishes even for my enemies I will make the plunge and try to swim to the other shore.

God is always coming to you in the Sacrament of the Present Moment. Meet and receive Him there with gratitude in that sacrament.

Dave Pelzer
It’s great to go on your own and discover new things just for yourself, to meet new people and all that. If you’re all on your own, then there is nobody there to guide you and you have to make all the decisions for yourself. It’s quite liberating in a way.
Dido Armstrong
I can’t see why people call me a bad influence. I meet a lot of kids who are into music. I spend as much time as I can with them. I listen to their demos, and I’m encouraging.
Now about those ghosts. I’m sure they’re here and I’m not half so alarmed at meeting up with any of them as I am at having to meet the live nuts I have to see every day.
Bess Truman

Arthur Rock
Festivals are an important occasion for us, because we all make it a point to meet up and greet each other. I personally make all Ganesha’s favorite sweets like Kozhukattai and Pal Payasam at home.

Any general statement is like a check drawn on a bank. Its value depends on what is there to meet it.
It’s funny, because there are so many stereotypes out there about actors and movie stars in general, but I’ve had a great opportunity to meet a lot of them, and maybe it’s just because they don’t behave that way around me, but I rarely see that kind of abuse of power.
I appeal to you as a soldier to spare me the humiliation of seeing my regiment march to meet the enemy and I not share its dangers.
George Armstrong Custer
All of my jokes were about not being able to meet anybo

All of my jokes were about not being able to meet anybody. I didn’t have any insight into anything – even my own insecurities.
If I’m playing a real-life person, I would take notes, I think that’s important. For instance, when I played Rosemary Clooney, I was lucky enough to meet her; thankfully, she was still with us. And I talked with her and read her book, so when it’s a real person, I want to find out everything I can.
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.

Charles Lyell
This may be a dream, but I’ll say it anyway: I was supposed to be married last year, and I bought a gown. When I meet Nelson Mandela, I shall put on this gown and have the train of it removed and put aside, and kiss the ground that he walks on and then kiss his feet.
If we meet an honest and intelligent politician, a dozen, a hundred, we say they aren’t like politicians at all, and our category of politicians stays unchanged; we know what politicians are like.
Randall Jarrell

I’m very approachable and want to meet everybody.
When I meet a good actor, I would like to be a director. When I meet a good director, I would like to be an actor. When there is a good script, I would like to be both a director and an actor. The switch is very natural, not intentional.
I’m not extremely outgoing, but I’m average, I think. When people meet me they’ll say, ‘Oh you’re not that shy…’ I never said I was! I see where they’re coming from because my biggest single was about being shy at a party – I get it. But it’s not 100% accurate.
There’s nothing women can’t do. There’s absolutely nothing we can’t do. We’re far stronger in a lot of ways than men. Way, way stronger than men. And that’s my message to any woman I meet – that includes you – there’s nothing you can’t do, and you know that.
Betty Williams
The best way to avoid danger is to meet it plump.
Boyle Roche
Wherever we go, across the Pacific or Atlantic, we meet, not similarity so much as ‘the bizarre‘. Things astonish us, when we travel, that surprise nobody else.
Mary Ritter Beard

For to be poised against fatality, to meet adverse conditions gracefully, is more than simple endurance; it is an act of aggression, a positive triumph.
Humans have changed ecosystems more rapidly and extensively than in any comparable period of time in human history, largely to meet rapidly growing demands for food, fresh water, timber, fiber and fuel. This has resulted in a substantial and largely irreversible loss in the diversity of life on Earth.
Personally, I like reading adventures which really have happened to people, because they show what kind of things might happen to oneself, and they teach one how to ‘Be Prepared‘ to meet them.
My ultimate goal is to create operating systems for myself that allow me to think as little as possible about the silly decisions you can make all day long – like what to eat or where we should meet – so I can focus on making real decisions. Because mental energy is a finite quantity.
Always wear cute pyjamas to bed, you’ll never know who u will meet in your dreams.
I’m convinced that probably everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. It’s just one more reason to always try to be kind.
Don’t ever know who you may meet, or just because a person may not be dressed up all fancy, don’t mean they’re not an important person. You just don’t ever know who you’re gonna meet in life. So that’s why I look at everybody as equal. Can’t just judge. I treat everybody with respect. Every man.
Surely the best way to meet the enemy is head on in the field and not wait till they plunder our very homes.

Andre Breton
I know that we shall meet problems along the way, but I’d far rather see for myself what’s going on in the world outside, than rely on newspapers, television, politicians and religious leaders to tell me what I should be thinking.
The fellow who says he’ll meet you halfway usually thinks he’s standing on the dividing line.
Orlando Aloysius Battista
I get on well with Italians. Which makes things easier when I meet, for example, my future mechanics at Ferrari.

I’ve been a fan of The Rock ever since he first came to wrestling. Every time I went to school, I talked about The Rock. So when I finally got to meet him I couldn’t believe it! When he walked through the door, I went bug-eyed! ‘I’m standing next to The Rock, man!’ He’s huge. He’s very nice, though.

Every President that went to China, I would meet them and have dinner and talk about the past and the future. That was in the ’70s.
Extension work is not exhortation. Nor is it exploitation of the people, or advertising of an institution, or publicity work for securing students. It is a plain, earnest, and continuous effort to meet the needs of the people on their own farms and in the localities.
Liberty Hyde Bailey

Luck, that’s when preparation and opportunity meet.
Pierre Trudeau
Fan mail is one thing, but fans you meet in person are a different matter entirely.
Audrey Meadows
I’m a really nice guy when you meet me, and that surprises a lot of people. I’m not that eccentric in real life – and certainly not that disrespectful. In my own time, I like to just chill out with friends and not get in people’s faces.
KSI
It was there that, through a mutual friend, I met John Waters – proving what I’ve always said: you meet the best people on field trips.
Mink Stole
In ‘The Hunger Games,’ in most people’s idea, in terms of rebellion or a civil-war situation, that would meet the criteria for a necessary war. These people are oppressed, their children are being taken off and put in gladiator games. They’re impoverished, they’re starving, they’re brutalized.
The more celebrities I meet, the more disappointed I get in celebrity culture.

Our privacy is starting to be invaded and we can’t get anything done. I’m happy with the fundraising but upset we don’t have time to talk and meet with people.
We should meet abuse by forbearance. Human nature is so constituted that if we take absolutely no notice of anger or abuse, the person indulging in it will soon weary of it and stop.

Time to time I get together with the rabbis, with religious leaders, leaders of congregations, and I talk to them, and wherever a need arises, we do everything we can to meet those needs.
God can cause opportunity to find you. He has unexpected blessings where you suddenly meet the right person, or suddenly your health improves, or suddenly you’re able to pay off your house. That’s God shifting things in your favor.
Most people are not good people. In business, in art, in almost every ‘world’ I’ve been in, most people I’ve meet are pretty gray to black. It takes practice to be the person who is a source of compassion and honesty.
Within each individual young person you meet, you have the same fields to plow. The trick is just to wake thmem up, to sharpen their ears for what’s already there in the music.

I think I can deceive people. I’m like, the nice, sweet girl when you meet me. And I don’t have any bad intentions. But I’m a bad girl too.
I like ‘The Usual Suspects‘. Great film. I also like ‘Scarface’, films like that. Lots of gangster films. I really like watching all kinds of films, dramas, romance. I’ll watch comedies. I like Al Pacino, Robert De Niro, Denzel Washington, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle. I’d like to meet them.
Barkhad Abdi
The breaking wave and the muscle as it contracts obey the same law. Delicate line gathers the body’s total strength in a bold balance. Shall my soul meet so severe a curve, journeying on its way to form?

I meet the designers very often, we discuss the products, they show me their ideas, we discuss the ad campaigns and every new invention that we can find for the future.

Mary Kay Ash
Being a Southern person and a blonde, it’s not a good combination. Immediately, when people meet you, they think of you as not being smart.
You have to be with the right person. It’s so much more important to meet the right person, whether you’re married or not, than it is to get married and get a divorce.

I’ll meet the raging of the skies, but not an angry father.
Thomas Campbell

Meeting Oprah Winfrey, I cried like a baby. Meeting Steven Spielberg, I cried like a baby. Meeting Denzel Washington, I gushed like a crazy woman. If I don’t get excited or star struck by someone I’ve been dying to meet, it’s time to retire.

I feel like, to have a career as an artist, you don’t need to meet the same criteria as you do to win a singing competition. They’re two very different animals.
Judith Hill
When you are not practicing, remember somewhere someone is practicing, and when you meet him, he will win.
Peter Bergman

Paul Kantner
Run to meet the future or it’s going to run you down.

Ahmet Necdet Sezner

Peter Buck
You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.
The first eight years in Mumbai were specially tough. I knew during the first two months of my stay that there’s no point waiting for hours to meet producers. They won’t meet you and definitely won’t give you a role.

It’s a great privilege and an honour to have the experiences and opportunities that I do to meet extraordinary Australians right across our country who share a great generosity of spirit.

John Gay

An overstretched military undermines homeland security and our ability to meet threats around the world.
Ellen Tauscher
I have a message for all the birdies who try to get in touch with people online who they think might help them to meet me or give my personal information. That will never happen. Don’t believe anything anyone tells you on social media about me because not even my parents know what I am up to.
When a marriage founders, this may well be cause for tremendous sadness, but it’s not a failure of spirit or character. People change, their goals and dreams alter, their ideas of themselves grow, or they just meet someone they like better.
A fascinating reaction of the human brain when we fail to meet a goal is that it tells us to throw caution to the wind and make things even worse, which ultimately leads to us giving up.

The mind of a 19-year-old is very different from the mind of a 26-year-old. You grow. You get into better relationships. You experience more, meet more people, better people. But when you’re in a dark hole at an earlier point in your life – you write about the mindset you’re in at that moment.
You should never meet your heroes. Paul Newman… I was so excited about meeting him, but he turned up in shell suit bottoms, slippers, and a jumper. He was just so worn out and old, he wanted to go home.

Catholic schools prepare every student to meet the challenges of their future by developing their mind, yes, but also their body and their soul and spirit.

I like America anyway. In Japan we are much more formal. If two friends are separated for a long time and they meet they bow and bow and bow. They keep bowing without exchanging a word. Here they slap each other on the back and say: Hello, old man, how goes everything.
Sessue Hayakawa
A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.
Russia – having sat across the table from Vladimir Putin, it’s pretty clear when you meet him that he has an almost limitless ambition for power. And he’s been very good at acquiring it – political power, economic power, military power, territorial power.

In the age of social media and dating apps, so many people are able to hide behind their Instagram page or their Raya page or Facebook. And it’s like, ‘Let’s set something up!

The innocent are so few that two of them seldom meet – when they do meet, their victims lie strewn all round.

People regularly practice playing a sport like golf or basketball – but few people think about ‘practicing being successful.’ I had practiced meeting the Queen of England – what I would wear, how I would stand, the handshake – so when I did meet her, I was comfortable – for I had practiced the moment for years.
After the success of my first album and the success of ‘Flow Joe’ kind of faded, I was struggling to make some money and make ends meet.

The Dixiecrats meet again in New York. Now they’re called Republicans.
It’s important that we meet any sort of hate and negativity with joy and celebration.

These wrestlers aren’t organized. They have no union, no pension and no insurance. You meet wrestler after wrestler who sold out Madison Square Garden ten years ago, basically running on fumes today. There’s a lot of drama there.

And when it comes to presidential lawbreaking, the sitting president could literally strangle someone to death on national television and meet with no consequences.
Greek philosophy seems to have met with something with which a good tragedy is not supposed to meet, namely, a dull ending.
I know this is silly, it’s shallow, it’s bad, I wish I wasn’t this way-but if I meet a girl with no teeth, I just don’t want to date her. It’s creepy of me, I wish I was a bigger person, but that’s my real turn-off.
Peter Farrelly
He is one of the finest and kindest human beings I have come across. When you meet him, you will understand why he is the Jackie Chan. It’s not just for his work but also the kind of person he is.
I always wanted kids but I always thought I’d have kids later on in my life, maybe when I turn 30. I really wanted to focus on my career, but you meet the right person and your whole world changes.

The thing that we need to move on from is any time you meet somebody, we always say, ‘Oh, this is my friend so-and-so. And, you know, he’s a Republican.’ You know, we always label each other as a liberal or as a conservative or as a Democrat or as a Republican.
No one else can take risks for us, or face our losses on our behalf, or give us self-esteem. No one can spare us from life’s slings and arrows, and when death comes, we meet it alone.
Oh my God, if you’re talking terrible theme songs, you have to mention Matt Hardy. I can’t understand what they’re even saying. There’s a point in Matt Hardy’s song where it sounds like they say ‘I want to meet the cheese.’ I’m always like, ‘Meet the cheese?’ Just goofy stuff.
It was absolutely thrilling to meet Laurel and Hardy, they were so nice.
The mind is more powerful than anything. So, during the birth I wasn’t thinking about the pain. I was in a meditation state. I was concentrating the whole time, thinking, ‘Oh my God, it’s time. I am going to meet my baby. What is he going to look like?’

Bob Wells
A mathematical theory is not to be considered complete until you have made it so clear that you can explain it to the first man whom you meet on the street.
David Hilbert
I am no friend of the modern so-called ‘black metal‘ culture. It is a tasteless, lowbrow parody of Norwegian black metal circa 1991-92, and if it was up to me, it would meet its dishonorable end as soon as possible.
It’s wonderful to meet so many friends that I didn’t used to like.

We need a concept of development to meet human needs.

I love doing TV. It’s such a breakneck pace, you know. It’s kiss and go with your leading man. You meet them in the morning and go right into a clinch. The filming is over before you know their last names.
Paulette Goddard

David Selby
