Stress overload makes us stupid. Solid research proves it. When we get overstressed, it creates a nasty chemical soup in our brains that makes it hard to pull out of the anxious depressive spiral.

'Stress' was the catch-all every pamper-pedlar I spoke to used to explain why healthy women feel the need to be regularly patted, petted and preened into a state of babyish beatification.

Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.

Stressing the God-centered life can lead to an otherworldly withdrawal from everyday earthly life.

Stretching back nearly three decades, Brian Williams and I have forged an enduring friendship. It all began in 1986 at WCAU-TV in Philadelphia and has resulted in a set of noteworthy experiences, amazing successes, and a bunch of trips to NASCAR speedways.

Strict justice would demand total confiscation of your property, personal imprisonment and fines.

Strict shopping laws mean that most German shops close on Saturday afternoons, reopening only on Monday when everybody is back at work.

'Strictly Business' is about a young black man who is learning about himself, and that applies to a lot of young black men, those who are trying to find jobs. This film gives them a good look at that situation.

Strictly by the nature of 'Veep,' in any given moment, a lot can go wrong.
‐‐ Kevin Dunn
'Strictly' is a bit like scoring the winning goal in the FA Cup Final or sinking the final putt in the Ryder Cup - only a few people get the opportunity to do it, and they have got to be famous.
‐‐ Anton du Beke
'Strictly Sinatra' became a compromise between me and the producers, and neither of us liked the results much.
‐‐ Peter Capaldi
Strictly speaking, every citizen above a certain level of income is guilty of some offense.
‐‐ Max Frisch
Strictly speaking, intensity in the weight training context refers to the amount of work required to achieve the activity and is proportional to the mass of the weights being lifted - that is, how heavy the weight is relative to how strong you are.
‐‐ John Romaniello
Strictly speaking, my interest is not in legal rights for animals but in a change of heart towards animals.
‐‐ J. M. Coetzee
Strictly speaking, the idea of a scientific poem is probably as nonsensical as that of a poetic science.
‐‐ Karl Wilhelm Friedrich Schlegel
Strictly speaking, there are no real substitutes for sexual satisfaction.

Stride forward with a firm, steady step knowing with a deep, certain inner knowing that you will reach every goal you set yourselves, that you will achieve every aim .

Strike against war, for without you no battles can be fought!

Strike an average between what a woman thinks of her husband a month before she marries him and what she thinks of him a year afterward, and you will have the truth about him.
‐‐ H. L. Mencken
Strike and struggle precede success, even in the dictionary.

‐‐ Madeline Zima
Strikers are egotists, selfish. We have to be.
‐‐ Romario
Strikes always leave a bad taste with everyone.
‐‐ Sarah Sutton
Striking a balance between wildlife conservation and wind energy development starts with understanding threats to eagle populations and how our actions, including operating wind farms, are affecting them.

Striking out batters was easy.
‐‐ George Herman
Striking out Ruth and Gehrig in succession was too big an order.
‐‐ Carl Hubbell
String Theory describes energy and matter as being composed of tiny, wiggling strands of energy that look like strings. And the pitch of a string's vibration determines the nature of its effect.
‐‐ Roy H. Williams
String theory envisions a multiverse in which our universe is one slice of bread in a big cosmic loaf. The other slices would be displaced from ours in some extra dimension of space.
‐‐ Brian Greene
String theory has had a long and wonderful history. It originated as a technique to try to understand the strong force. It was a calculational mechanism, a way of approaching a mathematical problem that was too difficult, and it was a promising way, but it was only a technique. It was a mathematical technique rather than a theory in itself.
‐‐ Sheldon Lee Glashow
String theory has the potential to show that all of the wondrous happenings in the universe - from the frantic dance of subatomic quarks to the stately waltz of orbiting binary stars; from the primordial fireball of the big bang to the majestic swirl of heavenly galaxies - are reflections of one, grand physical principle, one master equation.
‐‐ Brian Greene
String theory is not the only theory that can accommodate extra dimensions, but it certainly is the one that really demands and requires it.
‐‐ Brian Greene
String theory is the most developed theory with the capacity to unite general relativity and quantum mechanics in a consistent manner. I do believe the universe is consistent, and therefore I do believe that general relativity and quantum mechanics should be put together in a manner that makes sense.
‐‐ Brian Greene
String theory's biggest prediction is that gravity exists. That's good. That's a lot more than preceding theories could do.
‐‐ Sheldon Lee Glashow
Strings of gravity vibrate at a different frequency than strings of light.

Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you'll find the real tinsel underneath.

Strip makeup lights just don't give you a fighting chance no matter how good looking you are. Light sconces that flank the mirror illuminate your entire face evenly.
‐‐ Candice Olson
Strip malls are history.
‐‐ Jeff Bezos
Strip the proud nobility of their bloated estates, reduce them to a level with plain republicans, send forth to labor, and teach their children to enter the workshops or handle the plow, and you will thus humble proud traitors.
‐‐ Thaddeus Stevens
Stripe is building payment infrastructure for the Web, so we make it easy to accept credit cards online. Before Stripe, the way you'd do this is using the legacy banking structure. It was slow, it was complex, it was expensive. It had this very chilling effect on e-commerce.
‐‐ John Collison
Stripe makes it easy for anyone, be it an individual or a small business or a large business, to accept credit card payments on the Internet. We want to give control to the user or the business to define what the experience looks like. We work on a website or a mobile app, or whatever between that.
‐‐ Patrick Collison
Stripe really did come about because we were really appalled by how hard it was to charge for things online.
‐‐ John Collison
Striped shirts and printed shorts, jeans, and trousers are all items I buy and wear a lot in my private life.

Stripped of ethical rationalizations and philosophical pretensions, a crime is anything that a group in power chooses to prohibit.
‐‐ Freda Adler
Stripped of its plot, the 'Iliad' is a scattering of names and biographies of ordinary soldiers: men who trip over their shields, lose their courage or miss their wives. In addition to these, there is a cast of anonymous people: the farmers, walkers, mothers, neighbours who inhabit its similes.
‐‐ Alice Oswald
Stripping away artifice - it's the constant standard I aim for in acting, to approximate life. People talk about being bigger than life - but there's nothing bigger than life.
‐‐ Robert Duvall
Strive for continuous improvement, instead of perfection.
‐‐ Kim Collins
Strive for perfection. Nobody's going to be perfect on this earth. But strive for perfection.
‐‐ Judith Jamison
Strive not to be a success, but rather to be of value.
