Zitat des Tages über am wenigsten / Least:

Money, if it does not bring you happiness, will at least help you be miserable in comfort.

At least 23,000 civilians have also died in the Iraqi killing field and the U.S. is stuck in a quagmire.
It seems no matter what you say and how politically correctly and carefully you say it, you offend someone. Or at least I always do.
People talk about revelation, and say it has ceased; but what ignorance it bespeaks, when man knows not the least thing on earth without revelation.
I've seen almost all of Rajinikanth sir's movies, at least the ones that have come to Mumbai, since I don't understand Tamil. I loved him in the movie 'Hum' as well.

You're trying to find new ideas in people. I always think to myself, what question I am least comfortable asking the person? And then I make sure I ask it early in the interview.
You learn a lot about love before you ever get there. You learn at least as much about love from books as you do from watching your parents.
There is a certain comfort in waking up and finding that Michael Jackson is still the Big Story. At least it tells you that nothing horrible has happened in the world that would force them to move on to real news.

Stress is an important dragon to slay - or at least tame - in your life.
Hope, deceiving as it is, serves at least to lead us to the end of our lives by an agreeable route.
My experience on 'The West Wing' was, I think, now rare in that I was pretty young, and I walked into this environment where Aaron Sorkin was giving me a script every week, and Thomas Schlamme and John Wells were keeping the studio off my back, at least as best as they could.

There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone - many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long.
I mean, who wants to live waking up... at least I don't want to live waking up everyday about revenge.
I've led this empty life for over forty years and now I can pass that heritage on and ensure that the misery will continue for at least one more generation.

Who wouldn't want to be wizard, at least for a day, as long as you didn't have the dilemmas and the situations that Merlin was thrown into. I'd be happy if you could actually use the powers to have a bit of fun and do something good for the world and maybe for yourself, whereas Merlin's kind of limited in that he has to look after Arthur.
Hardware works best when it matters the least.
