When I was 40, my doctor advised me that a man in his 40s shouldn't play tennis. I heeded his advice carefully and could hardly wait until I reached 50 to start again.
Without adversity a person hardly knows whether they are honest or not.
The most obvious characteristic of science is its application: the fact that, as a consequence of science, one has a power to do things. And the effect this power has had need hardly be mentioned. The whole industrial revolution would almost have been impossible without the development of science.
When I did get home this last time, we had all these plans to go out. And then we hardly stepped outside because the time together seemed too precious.
A slight daily unconscious luxury is hardly ever wanting to the dwellers in civilization; like the gentle air of a genial climate, it is a perpetual minute enjoyment.
I hardly knew anything when I first arrived. I had to learn how to act as I went along. After about a year I got a grip on what acting was all about and it started coming straight from my heart; I wasn't just saying the words any longer.
Could that have been what happened to the human race - a willing perversity that set at naught all human values which had been so hardly won and structured in the light of reason for a span of more than a million years?
I can hardly understand the Australian accent.
You see a lot of smart guys with dumb women, but you hardly ever see a smart woman with a dumb guy.
I often say to people that producing is the best-paid form of cowardice. When you produce things, you almost always get credit if it's a good record, but you hardly ever get the blame if it's not! You don't really take responsibility for your work.
I guess the thing I would say most fervently is that your original impulse to write something is an impulse you should trust, and that if it doesn't work on the first draft, which it hardly ever does, the commitment to revising ought to be something you embrace really early. And to revise and revise and revise.
Prior to 2001, hardly any company in North America or Europe would buy from India.
When talented, qualified women take on greater responsibility, the simple fact of being talented and qualified is hardly enough to shield them from the gender-specific animosity that will come their way.
There are hardly any private sector employees who get both a 401k and a pension. There's just no need that Congress should get both.
I still play the guitar and piano, but hardly ever in public.
I must be more sensible and realize that at my age, illusions are hardly permitted and they will always destroy me.
To be honest, and this is terrible to admit, I hardly read any teen mystery books at all.
It is a very different feeling to be in a fat body that is moving a lot to one that hardly moves at all. It feels like love. As simple and as joyful as that.
There is hardly such a thing as a war in which it makes no difference who wins. Nearly always one side stands more or less for progress, the other side more or less for reaction.
French design hardly exists, except as artificial modernism.
If you look at my audiences, even in Europe, they're hardly teenagers.
It's hardly news that the Obama administration is intensely and, in many respects, unprecedentedly hostile toward the news-gathering process.
How do you build a relationship when you've hardly shared a word but suddenly share a child? How do you love a daughter you don't see for nearly two years? When does she become your daughter? How does she become your daughter?
The instinct to worship is hardly less strong than the instinct to eat.
Experience isn't interesting until it begins to repeat itself. In fact, till it does that, it hardly is experience.
That we have altered the dog genetically is well understood; it is hardly known how they changed us.
The intelligent man finds almost everything ridiculous, the sensible man hardly anything.
I am so envious of my colleagues from 100 years ago who only sang new works, they hardly ever sang revivals.
I do have ADD and in real life, I'm all over the place and can hardly focus. If we were talking for, for more than an hour or so, I'd start drifting off... I can't sit still too long.
I grew up years ago doing something that unfortunately doesn't hardly exist any more, a medium called Radio.
Those who live by the sea can hardly form a single thought of which the sea would not be part.
When you arrive in Hiroshima you can look around and for 25 and perhaps 30 square miles you can see hardly a building. It gives you an empty feeling in the stomach to see such man-made devastation.
It was a very stupid thing to do, I'll admit, but I hardly didn't even know I was doing it.
I had some adventures at the White House, but hardly enough to fill a full memoir.
Such is the nature of men, that howsoever they may acknowledge many others to be more witty, or more eloquent, or more learned; yet they will hardly believe there be many so wise as themselves.
I always had two or three jobs at the same time. I started doing yard work when I was 7 or 8. When I was 13, I got my first state job doing road construction. Between working, sports and school, I hardly ever had free time.
