Badminton is a cruel sport.

Badminton is not a popular sport in India.
‐‐ Saina Nehwal
Badminton is not as glamorous as cricket.
‐‐ Saina Nehwal
Badminton is not only about winning. What is important to me is about playing hard, doing my best and putting up a good show for the spectators.
‐‐ Lin Dan
Badminton is not popular in the U.S. because I think the mentality of badminton has to change.
‐‐ Howard Bach
Badminton will gain momentum in a big manner after my win in Olympics. More players will participate in the game now.

Badness you can get easily, in quantity; the road is smooth, and it lies close by, But in front of excellence the immortal gods have put sweat, and long and steep is the way to it.
‐‐ Hesiod
'Bag of Bones' was a big, distorted yet wonderfully entertaining novel that rode high on the bestseller lists in 1998.
‐‐ Jay Parini
'Bagdad Cafe' was a film that changed many, many people's lives... how they saw themselves and how they looked at their life situation. I thought I made a little movie. All the mail that I get is about how it changed lives, and that's wonderful.

Bagel in the morning is the ultimate breakfast for me; they're just good.
‐‐ Lee DeWyze
Baghdad is altogether built of chrome-yellow kiln-dried bricks.

Bahai Iranians are barred from holding government jobs, their children are excluded from the nation's university system, their marriages are not recognized and their cemeteries and holy places have been desecrated. It is government policy to incite hatred of Bahais in the official media.
‐‐ Elliott Abrams
Bahaism gives you a pluralistic view, and a lot of aspects of Hinduism give you a moral framework with no accountability other than the karmic system. There's no linear movement or point of accountability toward God.
‐‐ Ravi Zacharias
Bahia is the Amazon's geographical next-of-kin: the same climate, forest canopy, diverse floor. But there is no wild cacao; the tree was introduced, most likely by a Frenchman, Louis Frederick Warneaux, who, in 1746, sowed seeds near one of Bahia's large rivers.

Bahrain is very dear to me.
‐‐ Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
Bahrain lies at the epicenter of Gulf security and any violent upheaval in Bahrain would have enormous geopolitical consequences. Global economic stability depends on the uninterrupted export of crude oil from the Gulf to markets around the world - a job that historically has been assigned to the U.S. Fifth Fleet.
‐‐ Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
Bahrain 's margin of freedom is growing day after day as we head into the future with steady steps.
‐‐ Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa
Bahrainis are better off than many other Arabs. We have a welfare state, everybody gets a salary whether they have a job or not. Electricity and food are subsidized; school and healthcare are free. And we don't differentiate between Bahrainis and foreigners. We are very proud of that.

Bailing on a company is just something you don't do.
‐‐ Peter Fenton
Bailing out every bank that fails makes the system riskier, not safer.
‐‐ Nassim Nicholas Taleb
Bain also asked Kansas City for a $3 million tax break. The Bain executives were taking home $36 million in borrowed funds and were asking Kansas City to forfeit $3 million in public money for police officers, roads and schools? More free stuff!

'Bake Off' is one of my favourite programmes, so I was genuinely a little bit shocked and very excited when I was asked to take part.
‐‐ Zoe Sugg
'Baker Towers' is the book I've always known I would write, but it wasn't an easy book to do.
‐‐ Jennifer Haigh
Bakers get excited over aprons. I love the soft cotton ones with pockets like my gramma and mom wore. They always kept a hankie tucked in one pocket, which wasn't sanitary, but was comforting to the child who needed a tear or nose wiped.
‐‐ Regina Brett
Bakhchisaray was formerly the capital of the Crimean khanate and once an important crossroad of the Silk Road, where traders met from across the Black Sea, the steppes of Central Asia, Russia, and eastern Europe.
‐‐ Tim Cope
Baking can be done with a few simple ingredients, so it's about simplicity and nostalgia - people are reminded of their childhood.
‐‐ Paul Hollywood
Baking cookies is comforting, and cookies are the sweetest little bit of comfort food. They are very bite-sized and personal.
‐‐ Sandra Lee
Baking has always been one of my many hobbies. After I uploaded my first baking tutorial video, I got a really positive response from the online community, and they started to demand more videos like that.
‐‐ Rosanna Pansino
Baking is how you start kids at cooking in the kitchen. It's fun whether it's baking bread or cookies. With baking, you have to be exact when it comes to ingredients.
‐‐ Sandra Lee
Baking is my business, and it will always come first.
‐‐ Dwight Henry
Baking is my pastime. I just love creating things. But it's not what I want to do for a living. Acting is what I want to do.
‐‐ Ed Oxenbould
Baking is one of my many hobbies. I was originally introduced to baking as a child by my grandmother. I continued to bake for friends and family throughout the years for special occasions. I began to create themed treats after receiving continued requests from a lot of my friends.
‐‐ Rosanna Pansino
Baking is therapy.
‐‐ Paul Hollywood
Baking is too precise for me. I cook with a pinch of this or that.
‐‐ Eva Longoria
Baking makes me focus. On weighing the sugar. On sieving the flour. I find it calming and rewarding because, in fairness, it is sort of magic - you start off with all this disparate stuff, such as butter and eggs, and what you end up with is so totally different. And also delicious.

Balance in life is the key, as Aristotle taught us. Nobody likes a naive Pollyanna, but neither do we like to be around people who are constantly complaining and finding fault.
‐‐ Mark Skousen
Balance is good, because one extreme or the other leads to misery, and I've spent a lot of my life at one of those extremes.
‐‐ Trent Reznor
Balance is if you try hard, you work hard then the rewards are in balance with what you put in and what is available.
‐‐ Iain Duncan Smith
Balance is key. Balance is a virtue. Balance is next to godliness, maybe. We should all aspire to better balance. Too much of what is said in this world is one-sided, and we need more balance - in our speech, in our music, in our art, in everything.
‐‐ CeeLo Green
Balance is key: I need to be successful in my career to feel fulfilled, be surrounded by people I care about to share it with, and have my health to be able to do the things I love to do!
‐‐ Kiana Tom
Balance is key in cooking - you want a little acid, a little sweet, a little savory - the flavors should be harmonious.
‐‐ Gail Simmons
Balance is overrated.
‐‐ Thomas Leonard
Balance is so important in our lives. In our busy world, we can give ourselves balance between thinking and feeling.
‐‐ Yakov Smirnoff
Balance is so important. We all have to cut up our clock to find out what works for you. If you're ineffective, you're using bad clock management, and you have to adjust. Using a basketball reference, the team who wins is the team that can make adjustments in real time.
‐‐ Kim Fields
Balance is the enemy of art.
‐‐ Richard Eyre
Balance, peace, and joy are the fruit of a successful life. It starts with recognizing your talents and finding ways to serve others by using them.
‐‐ Thomas Kinkade
Balance provides the chance for longevity. You can be a champion at work and at home.
‐‐ Tony Dungy
Balance the federal budget now, not 15 years from now, not 20 years from now, but now. And throw out the entire federal tax system, replace it with a fair tax, a consumption tax, that by all measurements is just that. It's fair.
‐‐ Gary Johnson
Balanced budget requirements seem more likely to produce accounting ingenuity than genuinely balanced budgets.
‐‐ Thomas Sowell
Balanced is probably what I am, although that's just a polite way to say that you don't do anything very well.
