Himself Quotations | Page 4

Simon is really his savior, but he put himself at risk. He did something unethical for moral reasons. It's hard to imagine him doing that now. He's become a hollow man. He's a very compromised man and that's what makes him such a wonderful American character. Audiences respond strongly, especially the attorneys.

Simon has done a nice job for us as far as his attitude and work ethic. He had determination about making this team and he showed that early on. I think another thing that he has been able to do is make a role for himself on special teams.

Sidney has made it very clear to us that he is committed to turning both his life and his career around. He's a tremendous talent who has made mistakes, but he's been making huge strides in trying to return himself to a much better quality of life.

Sickness afflicts those who commit sins; God Himself sits as the Judge.

Since he's been on bond, his behavior has indicated he has not gotten himself in trouble,

Since he has proven himself to be capable of performing, it seems like to me that the best policy ought to be for the Argentine government to deal directly with the IMF, without the U.S. having to be a middleman,

Mike wants to be that much more lethal by making himself a great throwing quarterback,

Mike's doing a nice job. He's asserting himself offensively, and he's learning how to respond (in a positive manner) when things don't go well. That was a big problem a year ago. When things didn't go well, he'd get down (mentally) on himself. He's learning how to handle (adversity) this year.

Modesty is the lowest of the virtues, and is a confession of the deficiency it indicates. He who undervalues himself is justly overvalued by others.

Mr. Koons's work has always inspired architects, which I think is very interesting. I think he is an artist who has reinvented himself so many times and reinvented so many different series.

Mr. Rader does not see himself as a monster, ... He sees himself as a human being with a monster inside of him.

Muhammad himself fostered this idea and, for years, tried to convince his family that he, Elijah of Gilead, and the 7th century prophet Muhammad were one and the same.

Mugabe's become a disgrace to Africa. And I must say this because I am an African and a lot of us looked up to him back in the 1980s when he was the liberation hero. But he's now turned himself into a murderous despot.

Mr. Vang is my hero because he was able to defend himself and now he is alive.

Max put himself right in the middle of our running back situation.

Matt showed me something today about himself as a pitcher. He struggled early but Matt came back and pitched a great game today.

Meanwhile, in the broad and lofty chamber set apart for occasions of import, the Abbot himself was pacing impatiently backwards and forwards, with his long white nervous hands clasped in front of him. His thin, thought-worn features and sunken, haggard cheeks bespoke one who had indeed beaten down that inner foe whom every man must face, but had none the less suffered sorely in the contest. In crushing his passions he had well-nigh crushed himself.

My Lord and Master Himself has saved me completely; I am comforted by meditating on the Lord.

My first big challenge, and I knew that from the word go, was going to be to get citizen support and trust back toward the agency. How can you expect someone to trust you when you have the high sheriff himself being arrested? I had to build some trust and faith in this office from the people.

No doubt he is one of the players on this team we look to for leadership in tough games. He steps to the front and takes things upon himself to make them happen.

One ought to examine himself for a very long time before thinking of condemning others.

One should engage himself in self study to refine his intelligence and to acquire knowledge.

One thing about Bill, he's a professional. He's not going to bring any personal things inside this locker room. He either keeps it to himself or handles it with his family. That's how most professionals do things, so I'm not surprised that he handled it the way he wanted to.

One of the things I love about Mark, Mark attacks his weaknesses. He turned himself into a Gold Glove first baseman. A lot of people would have used the position change as an excuse. He's very driven, a self-starter.

One of the things that impresses me about him is the way his teammates gravitate to him, which I think is important for a player at that position. You could see a little of that today. He handles himself real well.

One can emancipate himself only by treading on the path of truth.

One asks himself why a certain number of young French people are in Pakistan in religious schools, ... It's not normal that an individual who lives in our neighborhoods leaves all of a sudden for four months in Afghanistan, three months in Syria. We want to know who is going where, for how long, and when they come back.

Obviously we wanted him as part of our team, but I think the person that feels the most let down is him and he feels like he let himself down. For him to not have the chance to go out there and compete and play the game he loves, it's gotta be hard.

No one reaches the Oval Office without a great deal of admiration for the institution - and himself - so it's unsurprising that sitting presidents favor the biographies of former presidents.

No one asks himself what good or benefit society derives from him. Start by rendering benefit to society.

One, who takes lessons from his past and improves on himself need not fear the future.

My concern is that he has only looked after much smaller pockets of money before this. People will want to see how he proves himself before committing money.

My assessment of his role on the council is that he has been effective. He has gotten himself into the thick of the baseball politics with his own backing and plan, and has carved out some attention to development projects in Southeast as a part of the construction.

must disqualify himself or herself in a proceeding in which his or her impartiality might reasonably be questioned.

My hope is he will take himself out of the partisan cast and see himself as the standard bearer for civil rights and civil liberties because that is what the Justice Department is supposed to do,

My grandfather was an athlete who worked as a butcher by day, but at night he taught himself to paint and play the cello. He was a very cultured man,

My grandfather always considered himself as Korean, and for him Korea was where he wants to be.

My good friend Yao Ming was the first big player in the NBA to come from China. He gave himself to the game and was successful. That inspired the NBA to invest more and do more for the game of basketball. We're building academies not just in China, but in India, Africa, Europe and South America as well.

My father, Ricardo, has been my biggest role model on and off the bike. He was a pretty good rider himself when he was younger. He got me into the sport and I really looked up to him. My older brother, Rich, was a role model in the beginning as well. We are very close as a family and we rode together all the time. My father taught us what was right and wrong. He taught us to work hard and strive to achieve our goals. He was very inspiring for me. My father really taught me that if I work hard enough, I can achieve anything. I think that is important at any age.

My father ran a corner drug store where he worked night and day, seven days a week, until he died of a stroke. He literally worked himself to death.

No operation should be carried out unless absolutely necessary . . . nor should a surgeon operate unless he would undergo the same operation himself in similar circumstances, ... The Knife Man: The Extraordinary Life and Times of John Hunter, Father of Modern Surgery.

No partner in a love relationship...should feel that he has to give up an essential part of himself to make it viable.

Now what he's got to do is put himself in a position to shoot more. He's always looking to pass. You have to be a threat out there to shoot and pass, it makes it that much harder to defend against.

Now we've got someone who is really hands-on and willing to assert himself more, which I think can be really positive.

Numbers speaking, he made one error the whole time he was at shortstop, which speaks volumes. He handled himself remarkably well. He showed major-league poise.

Neil Lane needs to get out and see for himself how De Beers conducts business.

Obviously, it's an exciting day for Michael and his family. And it's an exciting day for our organization. Michael has established himself as an All-Star and one of the premiere players in the league, and we feel that he's going to accomplish much more in the upcoming years.

Obviously there have to be consequences. He could have gotten himself killed.

Obviously, he's taking care of himself a lot better than he used to. I just love the way he competes, and I love the way he cares. He's a good teammate. That's what I like.

Obviously as a politician he has moved a little bit to get himself in position to run for re-election.

Nobody should get hit like that. A guy should have a chance to defend himself. I think that was a sucker punch, because he couldn't defend himself lying on his back.

Rich has been going through this now for three years and he's prepared himself mentally and emotionally for this date.

PHILANTHROPIST, n. A rich (and usually bald) old gentleman who has trained himself to grin while his conscience is picking his pocket.

Philanthropist. A rich (and usually bald) old gentleman who has trained himself to grin while his conscience is picking his pocket.

Phenomenal. He just continues to get better every day. He's finally starting to believe in himself and the things he can do.

Peyton is in a league by himself in terms of endorsements. This isn't a guy who got endorsement deals based on his winning the big game.

Peter has proven himself through the ranks as a coach. This is the next challenge for him. I think he's very capable and ready to handle these duties. I always felt that international experience is a key for this type of position, and Peter certainly brings that to the table.

People who call Reggie White a bigot and homophobic, beware, because you're calling God himself a bigot and homophobic.

Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement... says heaven and earth in one word... speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time, and the drawback, if you do not give it your full attention, of seeming to say half as much in twice the time.

Poetry is the language in which man explores his own amazement. . . says heaven and earth in one word. . . speaks of himself and his predicament as though for the first time. It has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time.

Portraying Mozart is a scary task. Whenever I'm asked to portray actual historic figures, it comes with extra accountability. Not just to your director and playwright, but to the man himself and the beloved persona that the public forms.

My take on Max is that he's an outsider. Without him, certain parts of the mystery wouldn't get revealed. He's like Columbo. He's a mystery writer and he finds himself in a natural mystery that he has to figure out.

Only by careful study of the Negro himself and the life which he is forced to lead can we arrive at the proper procedure in this crisis.

Nick Lampson shouldn't pat himself on the back just yet. We have something that's more important. We have friends and supporters that voters in the 22nd Congressional District admire and respect.

Nick has been solid all summer. He's played in the Lima Juniors and Toledo Juniors and dedicated himself to getting better. He's playing great and is really striking the ball well.

Nick had a breakthrough year for us. I feel that he may have even surprised himself with how much he improved. Having state meet experience as a junior will allow him to do big things next year at the state meet.

Nicky Butt is our top-paid player. But he's been suspended for four games for stupidly getting himself sent off. It's all very worrying.

Nicky Butt is our top-paid player, ... But he's been suspended for four games for stupidly getting himself sent off. It's all very worrying.

Nick worked hard in the off-season to recover from an injury. He really led by example and made himself into a really good football player.

On the second one I was a backside half-field player, but (Cory) Bradford never came off the ball so I'm keying him and he immediately took himself out of the route by not running, ... I was able to look back, just helping out and staying active in the play, and I just ran and came down with the ball.

Only the best and boldest programming will succeed ... Doug has distinguished himself with both, and we couldn't be more excited about bringing his leadership and creativity into Fox.

Only one American has given his life for Iranian democracy. He was a young idealist from Nebraska named Howard Baskerville. In 1907, fresh out of Princeton, Baskerville went to Iran as a schoolteacher. He found himself in the midst of a revolution against tyranny, and was carried away with passion for the democratic cause.

On the crassest level, the lady gets into the box, the lady is sawn in half, the lady is in two pieces, the box is put back together again and the lady is whole. The magician, the shaman figure, the worker of miracles divides and subdivides himself and his assistants. He's drowned, is bound, is filled with swords, and comes out whole.

On the 11th anniversary of 9/11, it is some consolation that the man most responsible for that terrible morning will not be smiling smugly to himself as satellite TV brings to the leafy boulevards of Abbottabad the somber images of New Yorkers commemorating those who perished in the Twin Towers.

One of the saddest things is that the only thing that a man can do for eight hours a day, day after day, is work. You can't eat eight hours a day nor drink for eight hours a day nor make love for eight hours --all you can do for eight hours is work. Which is the reason why man makes himself and everybody else so miserable and unhappy.

One of the most important phases of maturing is that of growth from self-centering to an understanding relationship to others. A person is not mature until he has both an ability and a willingness to see himself as one among others and to do unto those others as he would have them do to him.

One of the easiest jobs you have in this town right now is under the eight-minute mark, being a perimeter player on our team. You're going to get an open shot, and you're going to have to step in, because Brian Thornton has established himself as such a presence that teams are going to make choices to take him out of it. As they do, we're at that next step - 'You're going to shoot it.' So that's what we have to work through.

One of the documents he inadvertently left behind was a draft of a document proclaiming himself as president once again,

One of the daughters was married to a handsome young mulatto, who was present, and sang us some pretty songs, accompanying himself on the guitar.

I was so proud when I saw that. I thought, 'That's how it should be.' That kid the rest of his life will kick himself because he didn't make it.

I was so proud of Rodney Carney today. It would be so easy for Rodney to play for himself right now. It would easy for him to just go out and do it himself. I grabbed Rodney and said 'you are defending and we will try to give you some shots. Rodney said I am fine. At one point in the second half I asked if you want me to run something to get you going and he said I am fine. He defended and blocked shots today. Four blocks shows how far he has come and what he means to the team.

I was surprised to read those comments. I don't know how anyone can question Joe's heart after the career he has had. He's proved himself the No.1 in the division.

I was surprised and taken aback that he was using steroids, because I never thought about him being a person that might be a steroids user. I always admired him for the way he went about his work, the way he performed on the field and the way he conducted himself off the field.

I was stunned when, at his confirmation hearing, he could not bring himself to express regret for using that term,

I was so happy for him. He has worked so hard for four years and was very, very solid right when it counted the most for him. He really came through for himself and for his team.

I would say he's not playing by himself, but almost by himself in Pittsburgh.

I worked him seven-eighths (of a mile) on the 24th and had him shod five or six days ago, and we may have got a nail or two in a little tight. He got a little tender in his feet. For a couple of days I thought maybe he was getting sick because he wasn't himself on the track and he didn't eat up. He's getting better each day, but he's got to do some major improvement for me to run him. But if I do run him, he'll run big.

I guess it's a pretty big weekend for both of us. I'm preparing for another big step in my career at Texas. Tiger is looking to place himself in the record books again. I'm sure we're both excited for different reasons.

If we didn't have a third baseman, we could go with him, but he needs time at Triple-A to finish himself off.

I got to know him better after his diagnosis, and the way he carried himself during that time said a lot about his character. Through it all, he had an upbeat attitude.

I got in there as mentally tough as possible. I knew he was going in knowing that I had beaten him before. I think he may have tired himself out too quick.

I grew up hearing stories about how my maternal grandfather had put himself through engineering school in New York City. He saved money by walking down to a gas station once a week to take a shower. When I applied to college, both education and investment value were important to me.

If they're true and my brother was abusive, then he was entitled to his day in court also. Cody made himself jury and executioner that day.

If they have evidence that he did something wrong, indict him and give him a forum where he can defend himself as every American citizen has been able to do for the last 225 years.

If this results in Mr. Quintana having to have a distance between himself and Paris Hilton, she's delighted. She doesn't wish to have anything to do with this man.

If this man can express himself with the soul and the willpower that he has, even in singing, he certainly will be a big star,

I have got no time for him getting himself sent off, especially at that stage of the game.

I have been very pleased with his play and work ethic. When he was in junior he still had some of that baby fat, but he dedicated himself to his conditioning and that is a credit to him.

I don't know about Johnny Damon still. He has to prove himself just like everybody else.

I don't have to come to work, grab my pretend son, smash him up against the refrigerator and get in his face. For him to work himself up to that, where you're in that kind of moment and believing that, it must not be easy.
