Chris Klein
Being president is like being a jackass in a hailstorm. There’s nothing to do but to stand there and take it.

I used to get made fun of in the minor leagues. I’d be 0 for 2, and then in my last at-bat I’d hit a chopper that wouldn’t even reach the shortstop, and I’d get a hit out of it. The guys would be all over me, but a hit’s a hit. I’ll take 3,000 of ’em.

I think Clinton, after getting into office and into Washington, was shocked at being bludgeoned. So he spent time trying to be all things to all people – one way guaranteed not to be successful or respected in a lion‘s den. You can’t just play around with all those big cats – you’ve got to take somebody on.

For every failure, there’s an alternative course of action. You just have to find it. When you come to a roadblock, take a detour.

Dan Ariely
If the events of September 11, 2001, have proven anything, it’s that the terrorists can attack us, but they can’t take away what makes us American – our freedom, our liberty, our civil rights. No, only Attorney General John Ashcroft can do that.

If you can take a piece of life and put it in a song, it’s going to be a good song – especially if it’s from the heart.

I’ve always believed in a rainbow diet. As many colors and foods as you can eat, the better, because if you focus on one food, there’s bound to be a report that comes out that says, ‘Broccoli actually… ‘ So I mix it up a lot.

Sometimes the most important thing in a whole day is the rest we take between two deep breaths.

Etty Hillesum
When I take good care of myself, it lifts my spirits, boosts my confidence, and makes me feel strong. When someone tries to throw me shade, it bounces right off. I look those haters straight in the eye, keep my chin up and shoulders back. Because I know I’m a fierce queen – and they know it, too.

If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.

If you don’t take an opponent serious, they surprise you.

Children are the hands by which we take hold of heaven.

There is a tide in the affairs of men, Which taken at the flood, leads on to fortune. Omitted, all the voyage of their life is bound in shallows and in miseries. On such a full sea are we now afloat. And we must take the current when it serves, or lose our ventures.

Take your victories, whatever they may be, cherish them, use them, but don’t settle for them.

Those who enjoy their own emotionally bad health and who habitually fill their own minds with the rank poisons of suspicion, jealousy and hatred, as a rule take umbrage at those who refuse to do likewise, and they find a perverted relief in trying to denigrate them.

Johannes Brahms

Freedom is not given to us by anyone; we have to cultivate it ourselves. It is a daily practice… No one can prevent you from being aware of each step you take or each breath in and breath out.

At the end of your life, it’s friendships, emotions and thoughts that you take with you, rather than what’s in your bank account. So, even though people don’t have a lot here, they are a lot richer in many ways and we can learn from that.

The reactionary is always willing to take a progressive attitude on any issue that is dead.

When you take a flower in your hand and really look at it, it’s your world for the moment. I want to give that world to someone else. Most people in the city rush around so, they have no time to look at a flower. I want them to see it whether they want to or not.

The basic thing nobody asks is why do people take drugs of any sort? Why do we have these accessories to normal living to live? I mean, is there something wrong with society that’s making us so pressurized, that we cannot live without guarding ourselves against it?

I’m going to tell you the story about the geese which fly 5,000 miles from Canada to France. They fly in V-formation but the second ones don’t fly. They’re the subs for the first ones. And then the second ones take over – so it’s teamwork.

My neighbour asked if he could use my lawnmower and I told him of course he could, so long as he didn’t take it out of my garden.

Eric Morecambe
The path to success is to take massive, determined action.

I think you should take your job seriously, but not yourself – that is the best combination.

I take a massage each week. This isn’t an indulgence, it’s an investment in your full creative expression/productivity/passion and sustained good health.

I do what I feel is right. I am not scared to walk on the new path and take risk.

You take wins where you can get them because they’re not easy to come by. You win at the major-league level, and you’ve done something.

Bad things written about me do bother me and affect me, but then I have learnt to take it in my stride. I have also learnt to keep quiet about certain things.

Nayanthara
I believe that the real expression of your religious beliefs is shown in the daily pattern of your life, in what you contribute to your surroundings and what you take away without infringing on the rights of other people.

Being considerate of others will take your children further in life than any college degree.

Death is not an event in life: we do not live to experience death. If we take eternity to mean not infinite temporal duration but timelessness, then eternal life belongs to those who live in the present.

Everybody is responsible for their own actions. It’s easy to point the finger at somebody else, but a real man, a real woman, a real person knows when it’s time to take the blame and when to take responsibility for their own actions.

The most important thing we can do is inspire young minds and to advance the kind of science, math and technology education that will help youngsters take us to the next phase of space travel.

A vacation is what you take when you can no longer take what you’ve been taking.

Earl Wilson
Careers, like rockets, don’t always take off on time. The trick is to always keep the engine running.

If you are given a chance to be a role model, I think you should always take it because you can influence a person’s life in a positive light, and that’s what I want to do. That’s what it’s all about.

Take, if you must, this little bag of dreams, Unloose the cord, and they will wrap you round.

Let us take our children seriously! Everything else follows from this… only the best is good enough for a child.

Zoltan Kodaly
In chess you try to do your best, but there are instances where you make mistakes or you try and take risks that you shouldn’t. And I think losing games is a good thing, because you learn more from when you lose than when you win.

Beauty is in the character of a person. It’s about having an interesting face and about what’s inside. Anyone can take a good picture.

Patrick Demarchelier
I work hard and I party hard. When I go to work, I know what I am doing and I do it to the best of my abilities. When I party, I take exactly the same rule book with me.

In the practical art of war, the best thing of all is to take the enemy‘s country whole and intact; to shatter and destroy it is not so good.

I am about to take my last voyage, a great leap in the dark.

I don’t believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn’t matter – it’s only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you.

No matter how love-sick a woman is, she shouldn’t take the first pill that comes along.

I want people to follow their dreams, yes… but I’m not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers… I want to show them that there’s so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.

This morning I lay in the bathtub thinking how wonderful it would be if I had a dog like Rin Tin Tin. I’d call him Rin Tin Tin too, and I’d take him to school with me, where he could stay in the janitor‘s room or by the bicycle racks when the weather was good.

If your concentration is getting bad, take up bass fishing. It will really improve your ability to focus. If you aren’t ready when that fish hits, you can’t set the hook.

One of the signs of passing youth is the birth of a sense of fellowship with other human beings as we take our place among them.

Art must take reality by surprise.

Francoise Sagan
Always fall in with what you’re asked to accept. Take what is given, and make it over your way. My aim in life has always been to hold my own with whatever’s going. Not against: with.

It doesn’t matter how you pray. Just pray. All religions are beautiful and they all have one common belief. There’s something bigger and greater than us that can give us and take from us life. It is better than the here and now.

You have to create little pockets of joy in your life to take care of yourself.

You can take a team of absolute all-stars in terms of their native abilities, but if they are not working together, they are much less effective than a team where there is less native ability but a higher degree of teamwork and cohesion.

Love is the capacity to take care, to protect, to nourish.

Take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly, and try another. But by all means, try something.

It is our duty still to endeavor to avoid war; but if it shall actually take place, no matter by whom brought on, we must defend ourselves. If our house be on fire, without inquiring whether it was fired from within or without, we must try to extinguish it.

There is really nothing more to say – except why. But since why is difficult to handle, one must take refuge in how.

My motto in life is ‘Take risks;’ you don’t have a voice if you don’t. You have to venture outside your boundaries. That’s what life’s all about.

We can easily manage if we will only take, each day, the burden appointed to it. But the load will be too heavy for us if we carry yesterday’s burden over again today, and then add the burden of the morrow before we are required to bear it.

John Newton
It is the ability to take a joke, not make one, that proves you have a sense of humor.

Max Eastman
This 90/10 rule holds true in almost anything financial. Take the game of golf, for example. Ten percent of the professional golfers make 90 percent of the money.

Self-awareness is the ability to take an honest look at your life without any attachment to it being right or wrong, good or bad.

I’m going to take this God-given gift of being funny, and I’m going to spread it out like peanut butter on everything I do.

And above all things, never think that you’re not good enough yourself. A man should never think that. My belief is that in life people will take you at your own reckoning.

I will not take ‘but’ for an answer.

Take your job seriously, but don’t take yourself too seriously.

It is common sense to take a method and try it. If it fails, admit it frankly and try another. But above all, try something.

You must take the first step. The first steps will take some effort, maybe pain. But after that, everything that has to be done is real-life movement.

I am a fairly mongrelized person – you know I’ve been a migrant my whole life, and it’s hard to think of myself as any pure one thing. And so I take it, I guess, very personally – this notion that migrants are bad and that mixing is bad and that people from other places are bad.

Take a walk on the wild side.

A man is not old until regrets take the place of dreams.

John Barrymore
We should take care not to make the intellect our goal; it has, of course, powerful muscles, but no personality.

To meditate means to go home to yourself. Then you know how to take care of the things that are happening inside you, and you know how to take care of the things that happen around you.

One of the greatest joys known to man is to take a flight into ignorance in search of knowledge.

Robert Staughton Lynd
A lot of times, when people say hip-hop, they don’t know what they’re talking about. They just think of the rappers. When you talk about hip-hop, you’re talking about the whole culture and movement. You have to take the whole culture for what it is.

Don’t be afraid to take a big step if one is indicated. You can’t cross a chasm in two small jumps.

David Lloyd George
I’m all about the supplements. I take fish oil every single day, as well as vitamin D, magnesium, B complex, vitamin C.

Take it from someone who fled the Iron Curtain: I know what happens when you give the Russians a green light.

When you come to a fork in the road, take it.

No matter who you meet in life, you take something from them, positive or negative.

It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.

It’s a mystery. That’s the first thing that interests me about the idea of God. If there is one, it’s mysterious and powerful and awesome to even consider the concept, and you have to take it seriously.

In tough times, everyone has to take their share of the pain.

Take chances, make mistakes. That’s how you grow. Pain nourishes your courage. You have to fail in order to practice being brave.

If we want to get to the next level, let’s take a risk and try something different.

Whenever death may surprise us, let it be welcome if our battle cry has reached even one receptive ear and another hand reaches out to take up our arms.

If you’ve got a bazooka, and people know you’ve got it, you may not have to take it out.

You take people as far as they will go, not as far as you would like them to go.

Jeannette Rankin
In war as in life, it is often necessary when some cherished scheme has failed, to take up the best alternative open, and if so, it is folly not to work for it with all your might.

I have never entered into any controversy in defense of my philosophical opinions; I leave them to take their chance in the world. If they are right, truth and experience will support them; if wrong, they ought to be refuted and rejected. Disputes are apt to sour one’s temper and disturb one’s quiet.

We are like chameleons, we take our hue and the color of our moral character, from those who are around us.

I don’t care if someone wants to say something derogatory or spiteful anymore. As I’ve grown older I’ve become wiser to the fact that vindictive people take pride in trying to make other people feel bad. I enjoy my life. If someone doesn’t like what I do, that’s up to them, I really don’t care.

It is easy to take liberty for granted, when you have never had it taken from you.

We walk together, we move together, we think together, we resolve together, and together we take this country forward.

Danny Kaye
If a man is not to take advantage of the opportunities that present themselves to him, what is he to do, or what is he good for?

Joseph Lister
If you’re so afraid of failure, you will never succeed. You have to take chances.

The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions.

Every single day, I wake up and take a glimpse of where I am now compared to where I was before, and the work that we have all put in to be in this space. I think of that, and being able to express myself through my art and show up and be present – that’s activism, advocacy, and artistry in itself.

Another thing I like to do is sit back and take in nature. To look at the birds, listen to their singing, go hiking, camping and jogging and running, walking along the beach, playing games and sometimes being alone with the great outdoors. It’s very special to me.

Larry Wilcox
I have so much chaos in my life, it’s become normal. You become used to it. You have to just relax, calm down, take a deep breath and try to see how you can make things work rather than complain about how they’re wrong.

Tom Welling
I think that if your approach is one where you don’t want to alienate anybody, you’re going to have to soften the viewpoint or the information that you’re offering to such an extent that it doesn’t have the power to make any difference. You have to take that risk.

The duty of rhetoric is to deal with such matters as we deliberate upon without arts or systems to guide us, in the hearing of persons who cannot take in at a glance a complicated argument or follow a long chain of reasoning.

Take rest; a field that has rested gives a beautiful crop.

When I fight someone, I want to break his will. I want to take his manhood. I want to rip out his heart and show it to him.

We can’t take any credit for our talents. It’s how we use them that counts.

Madeleine L’Engle
Do your duty and a little more and the future will take care of itself.

Relationships are where we take our recovery on the road.

Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other’s eyes for an instant?

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.

Life comes with many challenges. The ones that should not scare us are the ones we can take on and take control of.

If you take shortcuts, you get cut short.

Gary Busey
The happiness of this life depends less on what befalls you than the way in which you take it.

Chess helps you to concentrate, improve your logic. It teaches you to play by the rules and take responsibility for your actions, how to problem solve in an uncertain environment.

Life is abundant, and life is beautiful. And it’s a good place that we’re all in, you know, on this earth, if we take care of it.

I was quiet, a loner. I was one of those children where, if you put me in a room and gave me some crayons and a pencils, you wouldn’t hear from me for nine straight hours. And I was always drawing racing cars and rockets and spaceships and planes, things that were very fast that would take me away.

We’ll take the cake with the red cherry on top.

Navjot Singh Sidhu
It’s not who’s the best – it’s who can take the most pain.

Saturate yourself with your subject and the camera will all but take you by the hand.

Margaret Bourke-White
Tequila. Straight. There’s a real polite drink. You keep drinking until you finally take one more and it just won’t go down. Then you know you’ve reached your limit.

Lee Marvin
What does it take to be a champion? Desire, dedication, determination, concentration and the will to win.

Patty Berg
Asking is the beginning of receiving. Make sure you don’t go to the ocean with a teaspoon. At least take a bucket so the kids won’t laugh at you.

While I take inspiration from the past, like most Americans, I live for the future.

Meditation is not to avoid society; it is to look deep to have the kind of insight you need to take action. To think that it is just to sit down and enjoy the calm and peace, is wrong.

If time were the wicked sheriff in a horse opera, I’d pay for riding lessons and take his gun away.

It’s your outlook on life that counts. If you take yourself lightly and don’t take yourself too seriously, pretty soon you can find the humor in our everyday lives. And sometimes it can be a lifesaver.

It’s very refreshing to go away and take a break, to clear your head, and just get into something else.

You are always learning; there is a lot of grey; don’t take things for granted.

Believe in yourself, take on your challenges, dig deep within yourself to conquer fears. Never let anyone bring you down. You got to keep going.

To have faith doesn’t mean you get any less frustrated when you don’t do your best, but you know that it’s not life and death. Take what you’re given, and when you continue to work hard, you will see results. That will give you the confidence you need to keep going.

Tom Lehman
There have been times when I have deliberately tried to take my life… I think I must have been crying for some attention.

You can take the boy out of Bombay; you can’t take Bombay out of the boy, you know.

I always feel good after I change my hair. You get a haircut and feel positive and ready to take on the day.

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.

I take a simple view of life. It is keep your eyes open and get on with it.

Pathological liar‘ is absolutely the toughest individual to deal with as a psychiatrist. Because you can’t take anything they say at face value. And you can’t, you know, fill in their personality. You don’t know what’s real and what’s not.

I am not too serious about anything. I believe you have to enjoy yourself to get the most out of your ability. I can take the criticism with the accolades. Neither affects me.

George Brett
All the armies of Europe, Asia and Africa combined, with all the treasure of the earth (our own excepted) in their military chest; with a Buonaparte for a commander, could not by force, take a drink from the Ohio, or make a track on the Blue Ridge, in a trial of a thousand years.

The punishment which the wise suffer who refuse to take part in the government, is to live under the government of worse men.

Dwight L Moody

You never know where life is going to take you. So everything I do, I just take it one day at a time, and it always leads you to the right place.

Kyle Massey

If you’ve got a problem, take it out on a drum.

Cancer can take away all of my physical abilities. It cannot touch my mind, it cannot touch my heart, and it cannot touch my soul.

Even in the 1950s, President Eisenhower was concerned about what he called a campaign of hatred of the U.S. in the Arab world, because of the perception on the Arab street that it supported harsh and oppressive regimes to take their oil.

The breaks you take from work pay you back manifold when you return because you come back with a fresher mind and newer thinking. Some of your best ideas come when you’re on vacation.

Gautam Singhania
If it’s the right chair, it doesn’t take too long to get comfortable in it.

If you want creativity, take a zero off your budget. If you want sustainability, take off two zeros.

Pain is temporary. It may last a minute, or an hour, or a day, or a year, but eventually it will subside and something else will take its place. If I quit, however, it lasts forever.

I can wear a hat or take it off, but either way it’s a conversation piece.

Hedda Hopper
I want to take Justin Bieber for a month and just lock him up in a cage where we sit and make music. He’s one of the most successful people in the world, but his music could be so much tighter.

I do take advantage of, you know, feeling sensual and feeling sexy. And I think that is tremendously empowering and is not diminishing in any way. I fell that any woman who is in control, who is in touch with her femininity and sensuality, is a woman that is empowered.

Leadership is diving for a loose ball, getting the crowd involved, getting other players involved. It’s being able to take it as well as dish it out. That’s the only way you’re going to get respect from the players.

You are today where your thoughts have brought you; you will be tomorrow where your thoughts take you.

Whether you’re a DJ, whether you a rapper, whether you a producer, take it seriously. This is an occupation – you can get paid – don’t expect to blow up overnight, and appreciate when you do get paid any type of money, appreciate it.

I have always been fascinated by the way things work and how they came to take the form that they did. Writing about these things satisfies my curiosity about the made world while at the same time giving me an opportunity to design a new explanation for the processes that shape it.

In this world it is not what we take up, but what we give up, that makes us rich.

The goal of Tesla is to accelerate sustainable energy, so we’re going to take a step back and think about what’s most likely to achieve that goal.

Take away paradox from the thinker and you have a professor.

This, to me, is the ultimately heroic trait of ordinary people; they say no to the tyrant and they calmly take the consequences of this resistance.

Hold up a mirror and ask yourself what you are capable of doing, and what you really care about. Then take the initiative – don’t wait for someone else to ask you to act.
