Itself Quotations | Page 4

All time is all time. It does not change. It does not lend itself to warnings or explanations. It simply is.

I don't even know if I always entirely get what I'm trying to say right away with lyrics. I like a lot of things that are more subtext. I grew up mishearing lyrics my whole life, but somehow there's so much more, too, that's implied in vocal delivery and the music itself and the gestural quality of it.

The United States prides itself on being the richest country in the world. Yet we can't balance the budget, pay for education, or take care of the aged and infirm.

Improving the Internet is just one means, albeit an important one, by which to improve the human condition. It must be done with an appreciation for the civil and human rights that deserve protection - without pretending that access itself is such a right.

My childhood gave me a very powerful sense of being spooked. I didn't know whether what I was seeing were sensory images of other people's unhappiness. Perhaps that was just the way the world manifested itself to me.

What an encouraging thought that Jesus - our beloved Husband - can find comfort in our lowly feeble gifts! Can this be, for it seems far too good to be true? May we then be willing to endure trials or even death itself if through these hardships we are assisted in bringing gladness to Immanuel's heart.

There is nothing I can do about this stuff and I am pretty well ok with the fact that I think Sundance is not going to be stopped by it, because he Festival is itself now, and doesn't need me out there to talk about it like I did years ago.

To make a division of power effectual, a veto in one form or another is indispensable. The right of each to judge for itself of the extent of the power allotted to its share, and to protect itself in its exercise, is what, in reality, is meant by a division of power.

The building art is, in reality, always the spatial execution of spiritual decisions. It is bound to its times and manifests itself only in addressing vital tasks with the means of its times. A knowledge of the times, its tasks, and its means is the necessary precondition of work in the building art.

The mere toleration of the slave trade could not make slavery itself - the right of property in man - lawful any where; not even on board the slave ship. Toleration of a wrong is not law.

The theater itself is a lie. Its deaths are mere special effects. Its tales never happened. Even the histories are distorted for dramatic effect. The theater is unnatural, a place of imagination. But the theater tells the audience something true: that the world requires judgments.

The life of an actor lends itself to emotion, and yet you have to be tough as old boots to stay at the table.

The fashion industry has done itself in by neglecting the 60- to 80-year-old market. They have the time and the economic resources. They want to go shopping.

The Bushes were certainly part of Texas in their mind, but they didn't have the kind of political flavor that you normally find in Texas politicians. It's just Texas is such a unique place to itself that politically, at least so far, they haven't found anybody to play nationally.

The separation of church and state was meant to protect church from state; a state that declares religion off limits in public life is a state that declares itself supreme over all religious values.

For in itself a thought, a slumbering thought, is capable of years, and curdles a long life into one hour.

The United States has overstepped its borders in all spheres - economic, political and humanitarian - and has imposed itself on other states.

I first read 'The Lord of the Rings' as an adolescent. It's a dense novel, a sprawling, complex monster of a book populated with a prolific number of characters caught up in a narrative structure that, frankly, does not lend itself to conventional storytelling.

This report, by its very length, defends itself against the risk of being read.

I believe that government should confine itself to the public realm and that it should be as stripped down as possible, within reason. It should not be burdened by excess bureaucracy.

Great grief does not of itself put an end to itself.

Art should never try to be popular. The public should try to make itself artistic.

Many a family, in order to make a 'proper showing,' will commit itself for a larger and more expensive house than is needed, in an expensive neighborhood. Almost everyone would, it seems, like to keep up with the Joneses.

Poverty itself is not so bad as the poverty thought. It is the conviction that we are poor and must remain so that is fatal.

CloudShield did not see itself as a cloak-and-dagger company. It made its name for high-end hardware that could peer deeply into Internet traffic and pull out and analyze 'packets' of data as they flew by.

I don't think the world will destroy itself in a nuclear cataclysm. On the contrary, we have the capacity to save ourselves and save the planet, and we will use it.

When fame presented itself to me, I was not at a point in my life where I was equipped to deal with it.

Wisdom does not show itself so much in precept as in life - in firmness of mind and a mastery of appetite. It teaches us to do as well as to talk; and to make our words and actions all of a color.

Oh, this base heart of ours! Hath it not enough tinder in it to set on fire the course of nature? If a spark do but fall into it, any one of our members left to itself would dishonour Christ, deny the Lord that bought us, and turn back into perdition.

The world is still changing. Faster than ever. And so should the Republican Party. Or condemn itself to a smaller and smaller base of core supporters and permanent minority status.

The spirit of an age may be best expressed in the abstract ideal arts, for the spirit itself is abstract and ideal.

If the Pentagon truly confined itself to providing defense, then presumably we wouldn't need a whole separate government agency to provide 'Homeland Security.'

If we were to compile a list of the ways in which the United States has made both itself and the wider world a better place, then at or very near the top would be its commitment to universal education.

Art never harms itself by keeping aloof from the social problems of the day: rather, by so doing, it more completely realises for us that which we desire.

Verse in itself does not constitute poetry. Verse is only an elegant vestment for a beautiful form. Poetry can express itself in prose, but it does so more perfectly under the grace and majesty of verse. It is poetry of soul that inspires noble sentiments and noble actions as well as noble writings.

Music is changing so quickly, and the landscape of the music industry itself is changing so quickly, that everything new, like Spotify, all feels to me a bit like a grand experiment.

What is the use of writing plays, what is the use of writing anything, if there is not a will which finally moulds chaos itself into a race of gods.

The Tea Party movement itself is maybe 15, 20 percent of the electorate. It's relatively affluent, white, nativist. You know, it has rather traditional nativist streaks to it. But what is much more important, I think, is the - is its outrage.

It makes sense for Japan to pursue a more independent role in the world, following Latin America and others in freeing itself from U.S. domination.

The outcome itself shows it was an unreasonable risk.

The point is the industry itself shouldn't be straddled with constraints that many of our direct competitors don't have. We feel the number 30 percent isn't really justified. It's very, very arbitrary. We consider a number around 40 percent to be more appropriate given the economics in the industry.

Unlike worms, it doesn't have a capability to replicate itself and so has to be manually spread by being spammed out deliberately, or people downloading it from a Web site.

We are a guilty party from a technical point of view, ... All we can do is to plead mitigatory circumstances to our arrears situation and pray that the jury will see for itself how genuine our efforts at self correction are.

We believe that Oracle's management backed itself into a corner by using the economy as their sole explanation for their shortfall.

We are going to send the message to the Moroccans that Europe stands ready to commit itself very quickly on the ground as well, but Europe also requires a strong and clear commitment on the part of Morocco,

We still see this as kind of a short-term issue that will work itself out.

Where the basis of the request comes from is that the government itself has revealed nothing about these initiatives. The objective here is to move beyond unnamed DOT sources to really make public on an official basis some of the details.

Where 'Paranormal Activity' really comes into its own is its rhetoric of legitimacy - how it uses itself to authenticate itself, and thus furthers the pretence of being real.

Where nothing in a person's earlier years lends itself to an old age devoted to continuing intellectual and physical pursuits, a late-life interest in Tolstoy or even crossword puzzles is unlikely to appear, no matter the urging by well-intentioned social workers or people like me who write books about it.

Where humanity is going to find itself in, say, 20, 30, 40, or 50 years would be very difficult to predict, I think. There are moments, of course, when you think that it's going from bad to worse, but there are other moments when you think that human efforts are really flowering into something really fantastic.

When you think about your relationship with Christ, it really just affects every aspect of your life. I think a lot of people try to segment off, like, 'This is church, so this is God, this is my daily life, this is my job,' but I think true faith is when it manifests itself in every single aspect of your life.

While market expectation is that it will eventually lead to a full blown takeover, it could in the medium term prove to be a negotiating tactic - the board of the London Stock Exchange now have to think again with regards to their possible future while Nasdaq has effectively left itself with a big say in any future developments.

We're so awash in tongue-in-cheek-attitude, ... it may get to a point when it burns itself out.

When we closed (Magellan), we were aware of the fact that it was likely some day another fund would surpass it, but that wasn't a concern of ours. Growth in and of itself has never been our goal.

When we get beyond the Fed's decision in August, it then opens up the opportunity for technology to assert itself because of its strong earnings growth and take the market to higher highs and higher lows.

What happens when (the machine) runs out, it puts itself out of service. We have to reset it,

What happens when government puts itself above God? ... Amen.

what happens when a world destroys itself and must rebuild.

We bring a unique fusion of medspa and business development expertise to market for our clients, ... In close conjunction with the client, the character, style and ambiance of each medspa are in perfect alignment with the elements of its unique community and target market. Passion for an early success manifests itself in the way we usher the client through the construction phase making sure that the architect, contractor and client work together cohesively.

What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind. Music is love itself - it is the purest, most ethereal language of passion, showing in a thousand ways all possible changes of color and feeling; and though true in only a single instance, it yet can be understood by thousands of men - who all feel differently.

What's really increasing more than anything is that we're getting more kids to take the SAT. That in and of itself means more kids are considering post-secondary education, which is tremendous. That's what they need to do.

What's really common is that all these people are where they don't want to be. They're suing someone whom they, for some reason or another, had a good relationship with. Now the relationship is broken down so severely that all they can do is to take this person to court to try to get their attention. It just manifests itself in the form of a lawsuit.

What's left under MSN -- MSNBC? Microsoft just divested itself of that, too.

Unless the worm has already been removed from the computer, it could update itself and send out a huge package of garbage on the Internet on the 16th, ... The second time around it could cause massive damage.

With Nimbus Sport's excellent track record and very competitive cost, BCCI has secured for itself and its fans a fantastic level of TV coverage never before seen in India.

We're extremely pleased and fortunate to add someone the caliber of John MacLeod to our coaching staff, ... His impressive resume speaks for itself in terms of his success in the NBA and the experience he has gained in this league. We think he'll make a wonderful addition to our organization and team.

Venezuela is used to defending itself ... and fighting imperialism,

With this legal opinion, which FIFA itself sought, CAS has laid the foundations for resolving any differences that exist with regard to the World Anti-Doping Code.

With this deal, Julius Baer has defended itself from being taken over. It shows the desire of Julius Baer to remain independent.

Writing generally, it may be said that in design, roof, and general aspect, Japanese Buddhist temples are all alike. The sacred architectural idea expresses itself in nearly the same form always.

We're seeing people finding insurance itself unaffordable and this study is showing that even those who are insured may be barely hanging on. It's a real squeeze on income and savings and economic security.

We've got in the habit of not really understanding how freedom was in the 19th century, the idea of government of the people in the 19th century. America commits itself to that in theory.

We have said consistently that General Motors cannot shrink itself to prosperity. In fact, shrinking General Motors only exacerbates its problems.

We have no indication at the moment that anything went wrong during the production of the agent. Only an examination of the production process and the substance itself which was injected will provide final certainty.

We have never really used the stock market itself as a barometer of our success,

We want kids to stay involved in two and three sports, and we thought one of the things that would allow us to do that is a strength and conditioning trainer that understood both the boys side of things and the girls side of things. Hugo's experience lends itself to that.

We were tracking this project really early on, and it really was about the material itself for us. It felt very cinematic, more cinematic than most videogames and with a real sense of style, with very strong characters.

We'll be as gentle or as forceful as we need to be, ... They have a right to protest, we respect their right to protest, we have every intention of allowing them to do that, as long as it doesn't interfere with the parade itself or the events that are associated with it.

We actually had a bit of traffic and I had to make a couple of passes just after the start-finish line heading into Turn 1. The car performed very well even though I was experiencing a loose-to-neutral feeling in it. That lent itself to a fast qualifying setup, but we have some changes that we know will tighten it back up for the race tomorrow.

We did not know an attack was coming because for nearly a decade our government had blinded itself to its enemies.

What we're going through is a market finding itself in a very nervous state and is preparing itself for third-quarter earnings, ... As we wait for the earnings to come out, the market feels the weight of the continued carnage in 'new economy' stocks. Dell's announcement was certainly no help in reversing market psychology.

There is a possibility that the number of offences will increase. That in itself could be a sign of success because more people are using the powers of the act.

Yahoo! has clearly established itself as the go-to destination for big events and breaking news, and we are focused on providing the best digital canvas for the world's greatest storytellers to create, develop and showcase their visions.

The fact that she pays the overhead of her employees and the foundation itself and just goes out and makes dreams come true ... I think it makes it more beneficial, ... It's a good thing.

The eyeball itself is fine. There's damage to the surrounding areas, but they weren't able to report if there is serious damage. I don't know what the time frame is for him to play again. I would bet there is significant swelling.

The process for producing public policy in Congress is flawed. The process itself kills policy ideas through the bypassing of the rules and procedural decisions that limit discussion.

The problem with Myspace was always that it was never as strong a product as it needed to be. It left itself vulnerable to competition. It was only a matter of time before someone created something better.

The real constitution of things is accustomed to hide itself

When I criticize Joseph Beuys or Francis Bacon, nobody calls those opinions anti-male. Putting female artists or their subject matter off-limits is itself sexist and limiting.

We shall not bring back a single bit of gold or silver, not a gem, nor any coal or iron. We shall not find a single foot of earth that can be planted with crops to raise food. It's no use. So, if you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then you won't see why we go.

The production itself was really guerilla warfare. Any time we were missing something, we had to scavenger hunt or go out of town to find it. Simple things like FedEx deliveries are not real reliable right now in the city.

What we do is put an aluminum plate with a barcode on the top of the laptop. It has a 3M sticky tag underneath which sticks to the laptop itself reading 'Stolen Property' with a phone number to call if the plate is ever removed.

What we discovered, counter-intuitively, is that when you start killing a cancer cell, one of the things it does in order to survive is to spread even further. It causes itself to form new blood vessels. We've termed this 'reactionary angiogenesis.'

What we can do should never by itself determine what we choose to do, yet this is the way technology tends to work.

We're looking to try and put the first half behind us. There were highs and lows and a little bit of a roller coaster ride early on. We want to take lessons from that experience and set goals for the future. But really we try to focus on - not to be cliche - a shift-to-shift, period-to-period, game-top-game basis and not worry too much about what's happened or what's in front of us. I think the future will take care of itself if we just work hard every day.

We're here today to wish the international space station some greetings itself because today is the one-thousandth day that the first component of the station has been on orbit .

We're gonna be more aggressive with expansion, but it makes good sense not to have too many teams. I think history is going to prove itself here - the smaller, tighter controlled leagues are the ones that last and that people want to be in. We've built some great rivalries and we have a chance to build more.

There are two primary ways that drive-by downloads are done, either through a vulnerability in IE itself or an add-on, or because the user has the security setting set too low.

When I look at the way the company's positioning itself . . . it's really turning more into a digital-entertainment company than anything.

When the narrative itself starts knocking on the glassed-in box that was your prescription for how you were going to write this novel... you have to listen to it.
