As with most people, my ideology and my attitudes about life were informed by parents and family.
‐‐ David Harsanyi
As with most phobias, the fear of flying does make some sense, but if ever there was a fear worth quashing then this is it. After all, life is short, and there's a great big world to explore out there.
‐‐ Beth Ditto
As with most physical activity, yoga helps boost your immune system. However, it also stretches and strengthens your body simultaneously, while also balancing your mind and spirit. It benefits the whole human.
‐‐ Jennifer Nettles
As with most things in my life, I believe you should try to enjoy yourself and never feel like you are a slave to a routine.
‐‐ Donatella Versace
As with other phases of nature, I have probably loved the rocks more than I have studied them.
‐‐ John Burroughs
As with products on supermarket shelves, the public has a right to know where their financial products and services come from.
‐‐ Geoff Mulgan
As with real reading, the ability to comprehend subtlety and complexity comes only with time and a lot of experience. If you don't adequately acquire those skills, moving out into the real world of real people can actually become quite scary.
‐‐ Jeffrey Kluger
As with sound, images are subjective. You and I may not see the same color red as red, but we will probably agree that the image on the screen is a digital image or film image, based on contrast, bit depth, and refresh rate.
‐‐ John Dykstra
As with the butterfly, adversity is necessary to build character in people.
‐‐ Joseph B. Wirthlin
As with the Christian religion, the worst advertisement for Socialism is its adherents.
‐‐ George Orwell
As with the factory, so with the office: in an assembly line, the smaller the piece of work assigned to any single individual, the less skill it requires, and the less likely the possibility that doing it well will lead to doing something more interesting and better paid.
‐‐ Jill Lepore
As with the onset of sudden celebrity, for the newly rich, the world often becomes a darker, narrower, less generous place; a paradox that elicits scant sympathy, but is nonetheless true.
‐‐ Felix Dennis
As with the Pacific Gateway, Canadians were similarly hoodwinked by the Immigrant Investor Program (IIP).
‐‐ Terry Glavin
As with the Pilgrims at Plymouth Rock, the origins of Shearith Israel trace back to a small group of religious freedom-seekers and a treacherous ocean passage to the New World.
‐‐ Meir Soloveichik
As with the subjects in all of my films, the incentive is left to the subject to determine on their own. I never ask someone why they say yes to me. After all, if you invited someone to join you for dinner, and they accepted your invitation, your next question wouldn't be, 'Why are you saying yes?'
‐‐ R. J. Cutler
As women are empowered, violence can come down, for a number of reasons. By all measures, men are the more violent gender.
‐‐ Steven Pinker
As women get more powerful, they get less likable. I see women holding themselves back because of this, but if we start talking about the success-likability penalty women face, then we can do something about it.
‐‐ Sheryl Sandberg
As women have played an increasingly important role in politics, there is no question that they've brought a different perspective, focusing attention on a broader set of issues and building alliances with other women.
‐‐ Dee Dee Myers
As women, I think it helps that we are complex creatures by nature so just being a woman helps to understand a woman's journey.
‐‐ Maggie Q
As women in general, I don't think we take the time to find ways to take care of ourselves.
‐‐ Kim Raver
As women in industrial societies join the paid workforce, they gain the economic means to depart unhappy marriages more easily.
‐‐ Helen Fisher
As women politicians, we talk about the most difficult themes of state security, foreign relations and development models, then ask, 'How do you make it work with your husband?' The interesting thing is that these women - most of them - don't lose the perspective that the focus is not the position but the job at hand.
‐‐ Michelle Bachelet
As women professional athletes, you have to have respect for every player and individual. Beyond that, it doesn't matter what your interests are. People can have their own lives.
‐‐ Hope Solo
As women slowly gain power, their values and priorities are reshaping the agenda. A multitude of studies show that when women control the family funds, they generally spend more on health, nutrition, and education - and less on alcohol and cigarettes.
‐‐ Dee Dee Myers
As women, we all have certain weaknesses. I know one who can't resist pretty shoes but has nothing suitable to wear with them. Others adore frilly lingerie but never have any money to buy outer clothing.
‐‐ Edith Head
As women, we are constantly criticising and judging ourselves in terms of our body, how we dress, what profession we take up, how we fare in that. Indian women are gifted with certain body types and features, which is healthy, and we should accept that.
‐‐ Vidya Balan
As women, we feel we can't ask for things. There's been a lot of research done recently and, more often than not, if a woman goes in to ask for a raise, she'll get it. But she's thinking, 'Do I deserve it? I've got to give a list of why I deserve it.' Whereas a man will just go in and ask for a raise. It's so scary.
‐‐ Christina Hendricks
As women, we have more of a tendency to be people-pleasers, and I know a lot of women who are not vocal about what makes them happy.
‐‐ Katherine Heigl
As women, we have to realize what we bring to the table. What do you want to do for the world? How do you want to change it? And when you know that, you don't have to compare yourself to anybody else.
‐‐ Kelly Rowland
As women, we know that we must always find ways to change the process because the present institutions want to hold on to power and keep the status quo.
‐‐ Bella Abzug
As women, we must speak out, speak up, say no to our inheritance of loss and yes to a future of women-led dialogue about women's rights and value.
‐‐ Zainab Salbi
As women, we need to remember: don't be a doormat!
‐‐ Amanda Harlech
As women, we need to stand together. We are judged and objectified often enough by men.
‐‐ Sara Sampaio
As women, we often think we have to be all things to all people, all at the same time. As a wife, mother, actress and businesswoman, I definitely feel the pressure to perform well in all areas.
‐‐ Niecy Nash
As women, we're nurturers by nature. We want to make sure everyone is happy. That's a good thing, but we also have to put ourselves on that happiness list.
‐‐ Victoria Osteen
As women, we're probably more protective of children. Also, we've been minors all of our history.
‐‐ Kate Millett
As women, we tend to take the easy way out in showbiz. I have done movies where all I did was look pretty in every frame.
‐‐ Bipasha Basu
As women, we understand our bodies, and there's a blossoming that occurs. We're hungry for gourmet meals instead of the fast food. We bring to life a more expansive understanding of life, ourselves, and others. We are more generous and assertive.
‐‐ Sharon Stone
As wonderful as they were, my parents didn't teach me anything about self-discipline, concentration, patience, or focus. If I hadn't had a family myself, I probably never would've done anything. Marriage taught me responsibility.
‐‐ Dick Van Dyke
As would-be songwriters, our interest was in black music and black music only. We wanted to write songs for black voices.
‐‐ Mike Stoller
As writers and readers, as sinners and citizens, our realism and our aesthetic sense make us wary of crediting the positive note.
‐‐ Seamus Heaney
As writers become more numerous, it is natural for readers to become more indolent; whence must necessarily arise a desire of attaining knowledge with the greatest possible ease.
‐‐ Oliver Goldsmith
As writers go, I have a skin of average thickness. I am pleased by a good review, disappointed by a bad. None of it penetrates far enough to influence the thing I write next.
‐‐ Rachel Cusk
As writers, it is our job not only to imagine, but to witness.
‐‐ Dani Shapiro
As writers, we do our best to conjure a world so vivid that the reader can practically walk through it - but we're still only using words and relying on readers to do a lot of work of imagining. Providing pictures as well as words offers a whole new dimension to the experience of consuming a story.
‐‐ Sharon Shinn
As writers, we don't just need to write about poverty or war or the immigrant experience.
‐‐ Jennifer Gilmore
As writers, we have to make our own work - as bloggers, writing for video games, whatever we can do. Everyone breaks into the business in a different way.
‐‐ Ransom Riggs
As writers we must, from our very opening sentence, speak with authority to our readers.
‐‐ Michael Cunningham
As writers, we must keep throwing problems at our characters. Conflict is the heart of good storytelling. Hiking in nature along a twisting trail can remind us what a good story feels like. It's the opposite of a treadmill - or an interstate highway.
