God chooses that men should be tried, but let a man beware of tempting his neighbor Picture Quote #1

There are women who have an indefinable charm in their faces which makes them beautiful to their intimates, but a cold stranger who tried to reason the matter out and find this beauty would fail Picture Quote #1

You have no idea, unless you have tried it, how endlessly long is a summer’s day, that you measure out only by hunger, and bring to an end only when you are drowsy Picture Quote #1

Do you know that cats can’t wear corsets? They can’t stand! Not at all! They just fall over. I know because I tried! Picture Quote #1

In my basic courses I have always tried to develop discovery and invention which, in my opinion, are the criteria of creativeness Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried to make a book that’s accessible to the ordinary, intelligent reader. Very often books that cover this kind of subject are written by academics, for academics. But I am not an academic Picture Quote #1

I have always tried to maintain a sense of humanity in my work, to create something that will take on its own personality but also reflect something about our world Picture Quote #1

You want me to act like we’ve never kissed, you want to forget; pretend we’ve never met, and I’ve tried and I’ve tried, but I haven’t yet... You walk by, and I fall to pieces Picture Quote #1

Be bold and mighty forces will come to your aid. In the past, whenever I had fallen short in almost any undertaking, it was seldom because I had tried and failed. It was because I had let fear of failure stop me from trying at all Picture Quote #1

We’ve got to fight against bigness. If a school gets too large, you lose an intimacy with the students; they begin to feel they’re just part of a big complex. I don’t think you can create too well in a big plant. That’s why I always tried to avoid bigness in the studio Picture Quote #1

Customers don’t measure you on how hard you tried, they measure you on what you deliver Picture Quote #1

My people must be tried in all things, that they may be prepared to receive the glory that I have for them Picture Quote #1

Anybody can find out if he is a writer. If he were a writer, when he tried to write of some particular day, he would find in the effort that he could recall exactly how the light fell and how the temperature felt, and all the quality of it. Most people cannot do it. If they can do it, they may never be successful in a pecuniary sense, but that ability is at the bottom of writing, I am sure Picture Quote #1

When someone has tried to please you, it is rude, as well as disheartening, to respond by announcing that the effort was a failure Picture Quote #1

I discovered that people are not really afraid of dying; they’re afraid of not ever having lived, not ever having deeply considered their life’s higher purpose, and not ever having stepped into that purpose and at least tried to make a difference in this world Picture Quote #1

I learnt the lesson on nonviolence from my wife, when I tried to bend her to my will. Her determined resistance to my will on the one hand, and her quiet submission to the suffering my stupidity involved on the other, ultimately made me ashamed of myself and cured me of my stupidity in thinking that I was born to rule over her Picture Quote #1

When I was younger I was very opinionated about art. And then, I realized that I kind of recognized this pattern where the things that I was vehemently of pissed off about, I would end up loving them two years later. So I just tried to mellow out. Like there’s art that I think is pretty silly, but it doesn’t get under my skin like it used to Picture Quote #1

I’ve always tried to be what I call militantly nonviolent. I don’t believe that anyone could seriously accuse me of not being totally committed to the breakdown of segregation Picture Quote #1

I try to write things that can’t be made into movies. My novels have thwarted many attempts to film them and I think that was true of the essay, too. If you’d actually tried to be true to the essay, it would have been, perhaps, boring. So taking that narrow little cast of characters and expanding it out, that was what was exciting about the project for me Picture Quote #1

You don’t want to continue to do one thing and only one thing. You want to keep challenging yourself and if you do well at it, great, if you fall on your face, you tried. Like, she’s really terrible at comedy! Who knew? But if you didn’t try and put yourself out there you’d never know Picture Quote #1

I have always tried to be obedient regarding important matters like not being scalded to death by burning oil, but when public opinion takes a route far from one’s inner conviction, one cannot value disobedience too highly Picture Quote #1

In the past, I’ve never tried to discount or stop what people are saying because on some levels I find it interesting Picture Quote #1

I’ve tried and I can’t. The thought of it twists me in a knot Picture Quote #1

What the law tried to do by a restraining power from without, the gospel does by an inspiring power from within Picture Quote #1

Men are men and women are women. We’ve tried for tens of thousands of years to lay down hard and fast lines for the sexes to walk upon, and we’ve failed miserably Picture Quote #1

People can judge me on whatever level they think but I’ve always tried to make my own songs Picture Quote #1

The most challenging project I’ve ever done, I think, is every single thing I’ve ever tried to do. It’s never easy Picture Quote #1

I tell people diets don’t work. And I don’t care what they say. I have tried them all Picture Quote #1
