Quotations
Quotes:
I don't know. People always think that there has got to be a dark side to everyone, a closet with skeletons, demons under the bed. People think all kinds of things about one another. They feel compelled to make up fears and false assumptions about their closest friends. Truth is, I'll never know all there is to know about you just as you will never know all there is to know about me. Humans are by nature too complicated to be understood fully. So, we can choose either to approach our fellow human beings with suspicion or to approach them with an open mind, a dash of optimism and a great deal of candour.

I actually don't meet very many men because they are, I guess, afraid to approach me or think that I'm from another planet.
View quotes by Claudia Schiffer
Reality is a question of perspective; the further you get from the past, the more concrete and plausible it seems but as you approach the present, it inevitably seems incredible.
View quotes by Salman Rushdie
Approach each new problem not with a view of finding what you hope will be there, but to get the truth, the realities that must be grappled with. You may not like what you find. In that case you are entitled to try to change it. But do not deceive yourself as to what you do find to be the facts of the situation.
View quotes by Bernard Baruch
Bodybuilding is much like any other sport. To be successful, you must dedicate yourself 100% to your training, diet and mental approach.
View quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Like a morning dream, life becomes more and more bright the longer we live, and the reason of everything appears more clear. What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end.
View quotes by Jean Paul Richter
It's disappointing to see the home side doctoring pitches to suit their needs. To me, this approach not only contravenes the spirit of the game, it will also have a detrimental affect on the advancement of Bangladesh's side.
View quotes by Angus Fraser
It was important for me to come to a club where there is a good spirit, the lads get on and there isn't such a cosmopolitan approach. [On moving from Liverpool]
View quotes by Danny Murphy
There's a very specific thing you can do to get in magazines. I'm much happier to just show up and do the job. I haven't taken the active approach to making myself a star. I haven't been in a blockbuster.
View quotes by Paul Rudd
Adventure upon all the tickets in the lottery, and you lose for certain; and the greater the number of your tickets the nearer your approach to this certainty.
View quotes by Adam Smith
The minute you try to talk business with him he takes the attitude that he is a gentleman and a scholar, and the moment you try to approach him on the level of his moral integrity he starts to talk business.
View quotes by Raymond Chandler
There can only be one state of mind as you approach any profound test; total concentration, a spirit of togetherness, and strength.
View quotes by Pat Riley
I view every game I play for England as it could be my last, so I go out there and enjoy it. It's the only way I can approach it.
View quotes by Graham Thorpe
Books are masters who instruct us without rods or ferules, without words or anger, without bread or money. If you approach them, they are not asleep; if you seek them, they do not hide; if you blunder, they do not scold; if you are ignorant, they do not laugh at you.
View quotes by Elizabeth Barrett Browning
The land of literature is a fairy land to those who view it at a distance, but, like all other landscapes, the charm fades on a nearer approach, and the thorns and briars become visible
View quotes by Washington Irving
I approach Chapter One each year with a deeper foreboding than I ever felt facing Beecher's.
View quotes by Dick Francis
We're not going to take the cold turkey approach [on not planning to ban smoking]
View quotes by Gerry Ford
Schools should have the freedom to decide their own culture and ethos, determine their approach to discipline, own their land and buildings and decide their own admissions policy.
View quotes by David Davis
Everyone saw what happened and I think I did really well to hold myself back. I really don't think he realises how strong I am. Otherwise he wouldn't approach me with headbutts and everything. [on Arsene Wenger]
View quotes by Martin Jol
Remember the two benefits of failure. First, if you do fail, you learn what doesn't work; and second, the failure gives you the opportunity to try a new approach.
