Try hard to find out what you're good at and what your passions are, and where the two converge, and build your life around that.
‐‐ Joshua Lederberg
Try, if you will, to imagine Dwight Eisenhower or JFK or Lyndon Johnson or, for that matter, Ronald Reagan chin-wagging with Jack Paar or Johnny Carson. Richard Nixon did, famously, go on 'Laugh In' in 1968, but as a candidate; and to his credit, he rued the day and hated every second of it.
‐‐ Christopher Buckley
Try imagining James Joyce not writing about being a Catholic.
‐‐ Victor LaValle
Try letting a Kindle protect your heart from sniper fire!
‐‐ Daniel Clowes
Try not thinking of peeling an orange. Try not imagining the juice running down your fingers, the soft inner part of the peel. The smell. Try and you can't. The brain doesn't process negatives.
‐‐ Douglas Coupland
Try not to become a man of success, but rather try to become a man of value.
‐‐ Albert Einstein
Try not to get lost in comparing yourself to others. Discover your gifts and let them shine! Softball is amazing that way as a sport. Everyone on the field has a slightly different ability that makes them perfect for their position.
‐‐ Jennie Finch
Try not to have a good time... this is supposed to be educational.
‐‐ Charles M. Schulz
Try not to say, 'I'm a failure.' Instead, ask, 'What can I do better? What did I do wrong?' Then re-approach.
‐‐ Jillian Michaels
Try not to turn your life into a race, least of all an obstacle race.
‐‐ Jose Bergamin
Try on 100 different hats if you can, until you find the one that suits you best. It's a trial and error thing.
‐‐ Philip Treacy
Try out lots of different options early in your career. Then watch the responses: how you feel, what the market values, what people appreciate about you. It's the only way to find work that's uniquely right for you.
‐‐ Lisa Gansky
Try out your ideas by visualizing them in action.
‐‐ David Seabury
Try paying the bills with love. The idea I am trying to espouse is that you can have both love and money, and be rich and generous.
‐‐ T. Harv Eker
Try pitching a story of happiness to your editors, and their toes are going to curl up.
‐‐ Jim Crace
Try praising your wife, even if it does frighten her at first.
‐‐ Billy Sunday
Try really, really hard not to judge your own work too harshly.
‐‐ Rebecca Stead
Try to accomplish things you have always dreamt of while you can. I know it sounds cliche, but the biggest lesson I have learned is that life is precious; enjoy it while it lasts.
‐‐ Lisa Ling
Try to always stay focused on the objectives that are possible and the positive - and on having fun outside of the stuff that's going on in Washington.

Try to arrange things so that you can have a reasonable bit of quiet every day.

‐‐ Asdrubal Cabrera
Try to exercise gentleness, kindness and humour, and you cannot go far wrong.
‐‐ Sophie Winkleman
Try to find someone with a sense of humor. That's an important thing to have because when you get into an argument, one of the best ways to diffuse it is to be funny. You don't want to hide away from a point, because some points are serious, but you'd rather have a discussion that was a discussion, rather than an argument.
‐‐ Ed Sheeran
Try to find the path of least resistance and use it without harming others. Live with integrity and morality, not only with people but with all beings.
‐‐ Steven Seagal
Try to guess my answer to that question, however temptingly you pose it.
‐‐ Mario Monti
Try to have as diverse group of friends as possible and don't get into the the clique scenario.
‐‐ Andrew Shue
Try to help others. Consult their weaknesses, relieve their maladies; strive to raise them up, and by so doing you will most effectually raise yourself up also.
‐‐ Joseph Barber Lightfoot
Try to imagine a character like Batman whose whole life has been about fighting crime, whose whole existence and identity is his war against criminals, and he wakes up one morning to discover there are no criminals. What happens to him?
‐‐ Marc Guggenheim
Try to keep your mind open to possibilities and your mouth closed on matters that you don't know about. Limit your 'always' and your 'nevers.'
‐‐ Amy Poehler
Try to keep your soul always in peace and quiet, always ready for whatever our Lord may wish to work in you. It is certainly a higher virtue of the soul, and a greater grace, to be able to enjoy the Lord in different times and different places than in only one.
‐‐ Saint Ignatius
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age.
‐‐ George Sand
Try to learn something about everything and everything about something.
‐‐ Thomas Huxley
Try to leave the Earth a better place than when you arrived.
‐‐ Sidney Sheldon
Try to look at your weakness and convert it into your strength. That's success.
‐‐ Zig Ziglar
Try to love someone who you want to hate, because they are just like you, somewhere inside, in a way you may never expect, in a way that resounds so deeply within you that you cannot believe it.
‐‐ Margaret Cho
Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime!
‐‐ Lawrence G. Lovasik
Try to never say 'yes' on the phone; instead, say, 'I'll get back to you.' When you're actually speaking to someone, the desire to be accommodating is very strong, and can lead you to say 'yes' without enough consideration.
‐‐ Gretchen Rubin
Try to open up your mind a little, and move away from rigid opinions of what people should do and be - unless you have been there.
‐‐ Ann Rule
Try to put well in practice what you already know. In so doing, you will, in good time, discover the hidden things you now inquire about.
‐‐ Remy de Gourmont
Try to put your happiness before anyone else's, because you may never have done so in your entire life, if you really think about it, if you are really honest with yourself.

Try to rally up as many people as you can with as much information as you can to try to get it to appear in front of the right people in the organization who are the decision-makers to greenlight the project.
‐‐ Jon Oringer
Try to realize it's all within yourself no one else can make you change, and to see you're only very small and life flows on within you and without you.
‐‐ George Harrison
Try to remember that decisions are made by individual, fallible personalities, not gods. It's hard. I know.
‐‐ Andrea Seigel
Try to see the good in others. When you're tempted to judge someone, make an effort to see their goodness. Your willingness to look for the best in people will subconsciously bring it forth.
‐‐ Marianne Williamson
Try to see things differently - It's the only way to get a clearer perspective on the world and on your life.
‐‐ Neal Shusterman
