Throughout your life, you've been influenced by what you have done in the past, what you have been told you can and cannot do, and what your present circumstances seem to dictate.
How individuals of the same species surpass each other in these sensations and in other bodily faculties is universally known, but there is a limit to them, and their power cannot extend to every distance or to every degree.
To get a name can happen but to few; it is one of the few things that cannot be brought. It is the free gift of mankind, which must be deserved before it will be granted, and is at last unwillingly bestowed.
Let us account for all we see by the facts we know. If there are things for which we cannot account, let us wait for light.
We believe democracy cannot be imposed from outside in any society. Democracy is the expression of a sovereign people.
Brave men do not gather by thousands to torture and murder a single individual, so gagged and bound he cannot make even feeble resistance or defense.
I cannot write music. I cannot play the piano.
To see those babies with no food for three of four days, old people sitting in the hot sun, when you see these poor people, you cannot help but being compassionate or affected.
Anyone who would let Gary Cooper and the entire cast go charging on horseback without first finding out what kind of footing the horses had is nuts and cannot possibly direct a motion picture.
It is easy to get everything you want, provided you first learn to do without the things you cannot get.
We cannot suppose therefore that God has made an order of beings, with such mental qualities and powers, for the sole purpose of being used as beasts, or instruments of labour.
I must not say what I truly think, or you will tell me I flatter you-but I can only speak what I feel-and very often I cannot even do that when the feeling is very deep.
I have a skin disorder that destroys the pigmentation of my skin, it's something that I cannot help, OK?
The wonderful thing about 48 fps is the integration of live action and CG elements; that is something I learned from 'The Hobbit.' We are so used to 24 fps and the romance of celluloid... but at 48 fps, you cannot deny the existence of these CG creations in the same time frame and space and environment as the live action.
People throw away what they could have by insisting on perfection, which they cannot have, and looking for it where they will never find it.
God not only plays dice, but also sometimes throws them where they cannot be seen.
I have never been a material girl. My father always told me never to love anything that cannot love you back.
An agreement cannot be the result of an imposition.
There must be some one quality without which a work of art cannot exist; possessing which, in the least degree, no work is altogether worthless.
What a mysterious thing madness is. I have watched patients whose lips are forever sealed in a perpetual silence. They live, breathe, eat; the human form is there, but that something, which the body can live without, but which cannot exist without the body, was missing.
We cannot afford idleness, waste or inefficiency.
The problem that faces our country today, the last 30 years we have lived off the future, and the bill is coming due. So there cannot be anything that is not put on the table. There will not be one American that will not be called to sacrifice. Those that are more well-to-do will be called to sacrifice to a greater extent.
Gender equality cannot be achieved by cutting programs that allow girls to get the same chance to compete, learn, and play. The United States has had a solid history of commitment to its female athletes and expanding opportunity for women, and it is imperative that we continue on this path.
You cannot have a society where you spend more than you earn. I mean, it's just fundamentally not viable in the long run.
I cannot ignore this reality, and I encourage my all colleagues to join me in this fight to end modern day slavery in our own backyard.
The notion of religious liberty is that you cannot be forced to participate in a religious ceremony that's not of your choosing simply because you're out-voted.
We cannot look backwards. What we have to do is raise our heads, look forward, roll up our sleeves and work.
All I can tell you is that you cannot make choices in your own career, either career choices or choices when you're actually working as an actor, based on trying to downplay or live up to a comparison with somebody else. You just can't do that. You have to do your own work based on your own gut, your own instincts, and your own life.
I think everybody at IBM knows the early 1990s disaster, and it's in our fabric that you cannot miss the ship.
Because we cannot know what God is, but only what He is not, we cannot consider how He is but only how He is not.
You cannot eat apples planted from seeds. They must be grafted, cloned.
Finally there are simple ideas of which no definition can be given; there are also axioms or postulates, or in a word primary principles, which cannot be proved and have no need of proof.
Any road followed precisely to its end leads precisely nowhere. Climb the mountain just a little bit to test it's a mountain. From the top of the mountain, you cannot see the mountain.
I have found little that is 'good' about human beings on the whole. In my experience most of them are trash, no matter whether they publicly subscribe to this or that ethical doctrine or to none at all. That is something that you cannot say aloud, or perhaps even think.
Why cannot we correct the baneful passions, without weakening the good?
Language is like money, without which specific relative values may well exist and be felt, but cannot be reduced to a common denominator.
