I try not to diet because it never really works for me if I tell myself I can't eat something then I tend to want to eat everything in sight.

My dad was a football player - a soccer player - for Manchester United and I loved playing football but I also happened to be the guy in class who was pretty good at sight reading. My teacher gave me scripts and I was very comfortable.

Presumption should never make us neglect that which appears easy to us nor despair make us lose courage at the sight of difficulties.

For this equilibrium now in sight let us trust that mankind as it has occurred in the greatest periods of its past will find for itself a new code of ethics common to all made of tolerance of courage and of faith in the Spirit of men.

Courage is often lack of insight whereas cowardice in many cases is based on good information.

Man cannot discover new oceans unless he has the courage to lose sight of the shore.

Being in America isn't old-hat - it's where we're from - but I get excited to be in other parts of the world like Athens and Croatia which were quite cool. I'm a sightseer. I go see the sights and museums. I'm into that kind of thing.

That is who Barack Obama is - a person of admirable character - and that is who he has remained for me over these last four years. I have not agreed with his every decision but never once have I seen him break his cool lose his composure or abandon his insightful perspective - even during the most serious and/or absurd national disasters.

Now it is evident that a little insight into the customs of every people is necessary to insure a kindly communication this joined with patience and kindness will seldom fail with the natives of the interior.

Humor is the affectionate communication of insight.

I had a very insightful friend who warned me back when I stopped reading scripts 'It's easier to change directions while you're still moving.' If you stop it's harder to get started again. I still don't think I made the wrong decision but he was right.

Certainly travel is more than the seeing of sights it is a change that goes on deep and permanent in the ideas of living.

People got insights into what was bothering them but they hardly did a damn thing to change.

It may be hard for an egg to turn into a bird: it would be a jolly sight harder for it to learn to fly while remaining an egg. We are like eggs at present. And you cannot go on indefinitely being just an ordinary decent egg. We must be hatched or go bad.

I did 13-something years of talking to wrestlers and promoters about why they did certain things and why they booked matches a certain way and what they were thinking and whether they were satisfied with the draw. And I got a lot of insight in the business.

Business more than any other occupation is a continual dealing with the future it is a continual calculation an instinctive exercise in foresight.

The best vision is insight.

The best way in the world to deceive believers is to cloak a message in religious language and declare that it conveys some new insight from God.

When the soul looks out of its body it should see only beauty in its path. These are the sights we must hold in mind in order to move to a higher place.

It seems that if one is working from the point of view of getting beauty in one's equations and if one has really a sound insight one is on a sure line of progress.

No eyes that have seen beauty ever lose their sight.

Only when inspired to go beyond consciousness by some extraordinary insight does beauty manifest unexpectedly.

A day spent without the sight or sound of beauty the contemplation of mystery or the search of truth or perfection is a poverty-stricken day and a succession of such days is fatal to human life.

Enlightened leadership is spiritual if we understand spirituality not as some kind of religious dogma or ideology but as the domain of awareness where we experience values like truth goodness beauty love and compassion and also intuition creativity insight and focused attention.
