Famous Quotes & Sayings

O. J. Simpson

This is the weekend when we find out where we are.

They know as of a week ago what we've done.

Nnamdi Asomugha

This pretty much is a must-win. We have to at least go into the bye week 2-2. We should have won this game.

Hal Borland

All man has to do is cooperate with the big forces, the sun, the rain, the growing urge. Seeds sprout, stems grow, leaves spread in the sunlight. Man plants, weeds, cultivates and harvests. It sounds simple, and it is simple, with the simplicity of great truths.

Gretchen Rubin

Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good. Lower the bar. Actually spending ten minutes clearing off one shelf is better than fantasizing about spending a weekend cleaning out the basement.

Gordon Brown

The IIFA Weekend has my unprecedented support. The relationship between India and the UK is long standing and one we would like to keep developing forever.

Henry David Thoreau

When the ground was partially bare of snow, and a few warm days had dried its surface somewhat, it was pleasant to compare the first tender signs of the infant year just peeping forth with the stately beauty of the withered vegetation which had withstood the winterdecent weeds, at least, which widowed Nature wears.

Henry David Thoreau

I see in many places little barberry bushes just come up densely in the cow-dung, like young apple trees, the berries having been eaten by the cows. Here they find manure and an open space for the first year at least, when they are not choked by grass or weeds. In this way, evidently, many of these clumps of barberries are commenced.

Henry David Thoreau

If a man is rich and strong anywhere, it must be on his native soil. Here I have been these forty years learning the language of these fields that I may the better express myself. If I should travel to the prairies, I should much less understand them, and my past life would serve me but ill to describe them. Many a weed here stands for more of life to me than the big trees of California would if I should go there. We need only travel enough to give our intellects an airing.

Henry David Thoreau

Shall I not rejoice also at the abundance of the weeds whose seeds are the granary of the birds?

Henry David Thoreau

Unlike the Concord, the Merrimack is not a dead but a living stream, though it has less life within its waters and on its banks. It has a swift current, and, in this part of its course, a clayey bottom, almost no weeds, and comparatively few fishes.

Jessica Chastain

Where is the Scarlett Johansson superhero movie? I don't understand it, why is it taking so long for this? This woman clearly shows that people want to go see her in the movies. ‘Lucy,’ didn't it beat ‘Hercules’ by a lot opening weekend, when it was made for a lot less? She shows that she kicks ass, she's a great actress. ‘Under the Skin’ is an incredible film, and why are we still waiting for a go-ahead on a superhero movie starring Scarlett Johansson? To me, it's a no-brainer. You want to make money, put Scarlett Johansson in a superhero movie!

Jamaica Kincaid

I love planting. I love digging holes, putting plants in, tapping them in. And I love weeding, but I don't like tidying up the garden afterwards.

Jack White

I'm always surprised when anything about the band connects. But I love the fact that it's hard for people to understand. We've said before that it's always been a great thing to get certain people to go away thinking, 'Oh dear, she can't play the drums!' 'Fine, if you think it's all a gimmick, go away!' It weeds out people who wouldn't care anyway.

Ellen DeGeneres

Something big happened over the weekend. Something that affects everybody, all over the world. George Clooney got married.

Ella Wheeler Wilcox

A weed is but an unloved flower.

Hugh Mackay

If I were asked about what to do about the level of insecurity and anxiety in contemporary Australian society, I wouldn't start with politics and I wouldn't say too much about terrorism. I'd suggest as a first step, that you invite the neighbours over for a drink this weekend. Today a drink, tomorrow a barbeque, pretty soon, a community.

Hugh Hefner

Smoking helped put me in touch with the realm of the senses.

Horace Walpole

When people will not weed their own minds, they are apt to be overrun by nettles.

Horace Mann

The earth flourishes, or is overrun with noxious weeds and brambles, as we apply or withhold the cultivating hand. So fares it with the intellectual system of man.

Eva Mendes

I listen to [customers] and we make adjustments because we pretty much average a collection every six weeks. We're constantly taking everything in and taking notes.

Erma Bombeck

I just clipped 2 articles from a current magazine. One is a diet guaranteed to drop 5 pounds off my body in a weekend. The other is a recipe for a 6 minute pecan pie.

Flip Wilson

With all the trouble black people have, they try to forget on weekends. You've got to be good to make them laugh.

Henry Mintzberg

Strategies grow initially like weeds in a garden, they are not cultivated like tomatoes in a hothouse.

Jeff Foxworthy

You might be a redneck if it's easier to spray weed killer on your lawn than mow it.

Jean Chretien

I don't know what is marijuana. Perhaps I will try it when it will no longer be criminal. I will have my money for my fine and a joint in the other hand

In the evenings I studied chemistry at the University of Chicago, the weekends I helped in the family store.

George Chapman

An ill weed grows apace.

Christina Hendricks

Cats appear to have a wonderful ability to weed out everything they don't need to know, while honing in on what is important to them.

Chris Rock

Whatever your pleasure, I can facilitate. You need weed, you need meth- hey, you need Prozac, I'm your man. I know how you white boys always deal with that depression. I mean me personally, I don't understand what you white boys are all depressed about. Hey, you're white! Smile!

Frank Auerbach

Garden work consists much more in uprooting weeds than in planting seed. This applies also to teaching.

Chris Hardwick

Stand-up for me is usually a weekend thing. I go out of town and just do it.

George Stigler

Competition is a tough weed, not a delicate flower.
