Yes, there might be some ‘traffic lights’, but they all turned ‘green’ Picture Quote #1

The most successful executives are often men who have built their own companies. Ironically their very success frequently brings to them and members of their families personal problems of an intensity rarely encountered by professional managers. And these problems make family businesses probably the most difficult to operate Picture Quote #1

Some officials overseeing local water systems have tried to go above and beyond what is legally required. But they have encountered resistance, sometimes from the very residents they are trying to protect, who say that if their water is legal, it must be safe Picture Quote #1

We get on the bandwagon in all sorts of ways - you know minor ways and major ways - like what you’ve just encountered which isn’t censorship exactly, it was something sort of uglier in a way Picture Quote #1

Imagine an eye unruled by man-made laws of perspective, an eye unprejudiced by compositional logic, an eye which does not respond to the name of everything but which must know each object encountered in life through an adventure of perception Picture Quote #1

Whereas much of what we know from ancient history is derived from one or two sources, we have no fewer than nine ancient sources, inside and outside the New Testament, corroborating the disciples’ conviction that they encountered the resurrected Jesus. That’s an avalanche of data Picture Quote #1

My brother often complains to me about the ‘angry Asian male’ in the United States. As a female, I haven’t encountered this, but Asian-American men are angry. They’re angry because, for so many years, they’ve been neglected as sex symbols. Asian women have it much easier, I think; we’re accepted into various circles Picture Quote #1

In 1952, when I was 15 and living on Governors Island, which was then First Army Headquarters, I encountered the newly-published ‘The Catcher in the Rye.’ Of course, that book became the iconic anti-establishment novel for my generation Picture Quote #1

When looking at Germans, I have never felt a sense that they are guilty. I have encountered anti-Semitism in the United States as well Picture Quote #1

Although both my grandfathers encountered ethnic prejudice, they viewed this as an aberration-a failure of some Americans to live up to the nation’s ideals. It did not dawn on them to blame the bad behavior of some Americans on America itself Picture Quote #1

The universe is so enormous, and we have no idea what’s on the other side of the galaxy. It’s a lovely thing to be able to tap into. I’m definitely not opposed to any supernatural ideas, but I’ve never encountered any. I believe in spirits, but I’ve never seen a ghost. And I believe in Heaven and Hell Picture Quote #1

Never, ever exercise in front of a TV or while reading. You lose 50 percent of the benefit of the exercise by not hearing and feeling your heart rate, your sweat and the pain levels that need to be encountered in fitness training Picture Quote #1

It’s hard to think of another body of work that is more universally beloved - I don’t think I’ve ever met someone who has encountered ‘Calvin and Hobbes’ without falling for them Picture Quote #1

I’ve been a rock star since you were very young. But I’ve never encountered anything as powerful as cancer Picture Quote #1

Bravery without forethought, causes a man to fight blindly and desperately like a mad bull. Such an opponent, must not be encountered with brute force, but may be lured into an ambush and slain Picture Quote #1

I have encountered those who feel that libraries have served their purpose and are no longer needed. There are those who consider them a soft target when it comes to local authority budget cuts. In certain political quarters, there is a refusal to see that our public library service needs active protection Picture Quote #1

Inertia, when first encountered, appears to be an immovable force. We are creatures who like comfort, patterns, and repetition... Yet change is life’s only constant Picture Quote #1
