When you start to accept responsibility for the results you get in life, you also take back the power to change your future outcome.
I can take care of myself, but I can’t take care of myself and a child. I’ve decided to give myself up for adoption.
Living well is an art that can be developed: a love of life and ability to take great pleasure from small offerings and assurance that the world owes you nothing and that every gift is exactly that, a gift.
I'll take no charity! What I get I'll earn by taking it. I would feel no pleasure it being given to me, any more than a huntsman would take pleasure being made a present of a dead fox, in place of getting a run across country after it.
You can't just take an aspirin and sit around and have 12 donuts and think, 'I took my aspirin so I'm not going to have a heart attack.' It's really important each person take personal responsibility for their health. You can't keep thinking that som...
Sometimes I take the watch, or I take the shoes, but usually the souvenir is to take the life you had with those directors, or the crew - the camera person, the lighting person. When you finish a film it's like a little death. You had a family for a ...
We look at the African-American community, for a long time those of us who be considered strong - black men - for whatever reason, haven't done a good job of taking care of the weak. And we were doing things that render taking care of our youth and t...
I want to do musician things and start making this my life. I want to learn - there's so much I have to learn about what it takes to be a recording artist, about what it takes to go on tour. I want to take this time and be a sponge and start meeting ...
That's the most beautiful thing that I like about boxing: you can take a punch. The biggest thing about taking a punch is your ego reacts and there's no better spiritual lesson than trying to not pay attention to your ego's reaction. That's what take...
Every job I take, within minutes I'm thinking, 'I can't do this.' I think it's what makes me work. People think I just swagger in and do it. But I doubt myself all the time. It's what pushes me, what makes me work harder. The older I get, the less I ...
Mal: I'll tell you a riddle. You're waiting for a train, a train that will take you far away. You know where you hope this train will take you, but you don't know for sure. But it doesn't matter. How can it not matter to you where that train will tak...
Giosué Orefice: Daddy, I cannot find any of the other kids, and a lady came telling me to take a shower. Guido: That's a good idea. You go take a shower. Giosué Orefice: No! Guido: Go take a shower! Giosué Orefice: No!
All it takes to become president is money and a certain kind of power. Being president is the first thing I can shoot for, not the highest. It may come to a point where people take rock and roll musicians more seriously than they take politicians. It...
A girl receives, a widow takes her husband.
Take a second look; it costs you nothing.
Take nothing in hand that may bring repentance.
Take heed of enemies reconciled, and of meat twice boiled.
Of words and feathers, it takes many to make a pound.
To catch rats the cats take off their gloves.
Don't take seriously the cat who mourns for a mouse.
Water will always take the form of the vase it fills.
