Friedrich Nietzsche

If music be the food of love, play on; Give me excess of it, that, surfeiting, The appetite may sicken, and so die. That strain again! it had a dying fall: O, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound That breathes upon a bank of violets, Stealing and giving odour!

David Livermore
The dark-veiled silhouette that solitary form patrolling without visible strain or vainglory a demented dreamland of fearful potential.
Kathryn Hulme

Tom Roseen
Employees reported fewer headaches, no more eye strain, more energy and greater productivity. One person said there was a calmness to the light. We want our employees to be as healthy as possible.
Kai Abelkis
We founded the company ourselves with our own money. We fueled our growth with sales, so the capital investment required to produce each new product is a strain for a small company like ours. But that's the route we took.
Theodore Welt
As far as my meet, it was very tough, mentally straining but also physically. I was able to work through it, the meet didn't go as well as I wanted it to, but that happens.
Barbie Viney
Only birds can be infected. There is no bird flu strain that can be transmitted to humans in Dagestan.
Nikolai Vlasov
By definition, a strain is a tearing of tissue. There is tearing, to some degree. But it's not as if this thing [the tendon] is pulled off the bone in any way. That is not the case. But [the MRI exam] does show inflammation in that area. That's why the diagnosis of a strain was put on this.
Mark Mann
We are already awfully thin. If we were to have any additional strain on the system, we could have a major crisis.
Larry Matheis

George Eliot
Happiness radiates like the fragrance from a flower, and draws all good things toward you. Allow your love to nourish yourself as well as others. Do not strain after the needs of life. It is sufficient to be quietly alert and aware of them. In this way life proceeds more naturally and effortlessly. Life is here to Enjoy!
Maharishi Mahesh Yogi
If a person is infected with a human influenza and also contracts avian influenza ... the two kinds of influenza could mix and re-assort themselves into a more dangerous strain that could cause easy human-to-human transmission.
Aphaluck Bhatiasevi
We don't know what will happen. At this point, we don't know if a virulent strain will develop, or whether it will change over time, so it's not as severe in humans.
Paul Yates
Whether you're a celebrity or not, if your husband's a CEO and has to spend six months away and you don't get to see him, it creates great stress and strain on a relationship, ... And then they're in the public eye, and people are watching every move they make, which creates an additional kind of stress.
Suzanne Lopez
The good thing is we are more hopeful about Nicky Butt. His hamstring injury is not as severe. You are normally out for 10-14 days with a small strain and he possibly could be available for the Villa game.
Steve Bruce
One way is to address these social issues. If women weren't under chronic strain, they wouldn't be as likely to be depressed.
Carla Grayson
There is no doubt we will be sailing Alfa Romeo right at the limit of her ability. That means there is always the risk of something breaking or the technology failing, whether it's a sunfish hitting a rudder, a plastic bag blocking the cooling inlet of the engine or something simply breaking under the strain.
Neville Crichton
If a person has stable housing but has a current mental health or substance abuse problem with which they are not getting any support, it is going to put a strain on employment.
Adam Sampson
We can confirm that he died from the H5N1 strain of bird flu.
Thawat Suntrajarn

Joe Caddick
The strain on the marriage was evident, the couple was fighting all the time.

Patricia Quinlisk
Friendship will not stand the strain of very much good advice for very long.
Robert Lynd
He should be ok. He just had a little bit of a thigh strain but it's fine.
Michael Tissera
I wish I had better insight to realize the financial strain he was under. He really wanted to help his family, and that was the entire purpose of why he did what he did. ... But he learned that sometimes you end up hurting the people you love when you try to do too much.
Anthony Grant
The virus this particular year that is most prominent is called the California strain. This particular virus strain is perhaps more potent than we've had in the past.
Art Mollen
As forecast at the beginning of the year, full service airlines have begun to look at new ways to encourage travel and provide good deals for their customers on both their long-haul and short-haul routes and these incentives are paying off for some of the carriers, possibly easing the strain of higher fuel costs on the industry.
Don Birch
It's not in the same spot as before. They don't know if it's torn, if it's a sprain or strain, or whatever that is.
Norv Turner
In terms of workload, it?s been a strain. But financially, we?re fine.
Pat Gruber
The previous vaccine we developed was a strain obtained in Vietnam from 2004. The vaccine against the Vietnam virus would not be the most appropriate to protect against the Indonesia-like viruses.
Ruben Donis
We still do not know if it's serious but he already had a strain in the same calf.
Jean Fernandez
They're not asking for a bigger military and a lot of us are surprised by that. We see the strains on the current forces - we need to grow the force to reduce the strain.
Michele Flournoy
The ideology of strain and consistency vows that things fit together.
Neil Smelser

Raza Rabbani
An influenza pandemic could cause widespread economic and societal disruption and seriously strain our health care system.
Sandra Shewry
The Irish are often nervous about having the appropriate face for the occasion. They have to be happy at weddings, which is a strain, so they get depressed; they have to be sad at funerals, which is easy, so they get happy.
Peggy Noonan
If we pick the wrong pathogen to develop a vaccine and a new strain comes out, then vaccine development is futile.
Vijay Samant
I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy.
Og Mandino
The average residential customer is paying roughly twice as much for natural gas as he did in 1999. These high prices strain the budgets of all homeowners and, even worse, many low-income households must choose between heat and other life necessities.
Thomas Skains
It's a muscle strain in his back, so we've just got to let time go by.
Lawrence Frank
I don't think anybody could say with a straight face that there hasn't been some of the flow of work hasn't been more challenging. Leadership challenges can rub emotions raw and strain relationships.
Jeff Atwater
They have a more natural motion. It doesn't put a strain on the arm. They can pitch 18 innings in a week.
Tim Kessel
There's no strain in Madonna's marriage. Her relationship with Guy is quite good. They're quite happy.
Liz Rosenberg
This really gives a level of strain for the red blood cell that is similar to what that cell experiences as it moves through tiny blood vessels.
Subra Suresh
Doug definitely won't be available for selection. That hamstring strain from the Crusaders game, he hasn't recovered from it and we didn't really have too much expectation there.
David Nucifora
From a genetic perspective, there are significant strain differences in their structure.
Brian Evans
This cost the foundation a substantial amount of money that it could not afford, ... It put a substantial strain on resources that could have been better used to fight AIDS.
Charles Thompson
We strain to renew our capacity for wonder, to shock ourselves into astonishment once again.
Shana Alexander

Chauncey Depew
All these things add to the psychological strain of the patients.
Anders Moller
How do you do tax cuts when your budget is straining to save lives?
Mark Foley
It would have to be a very weak pandemic strain for us to be able to stop it right now. Most likely we wouldn't be completely prepared.
Timothy Germann
The commitment I made to the council ... is that the building will never be a strain on the general public -- the building will always be self-sufficient. Thus far it has been self-sufficient.
Jack Ellis
But the thing uttered by the speaker I strain towards is still not quite the story of what is going on; it is more reflexive than that, because as a poet I am in fact straining towards a strain, seeking repose in the stability conferred by a musically satisfying order of sounds.
Seamus Heaney
The closest match is a strain identified in ducks in China earlier this year. It is not so similar to the strains from Romania and Turkey.
Debby Reynolds
The trend in the last couple of years has been a decline in unemployment. I'm seeing certain occupational sectors showing signs of strain where they are not able to find enough workers.
Shelley Allen
Only when a pandemic virus strain develops will a vaccine be created, and it will not take long - only about a month.
Mikhail Zurabov
He went up for a ball and came down awkwardly on his ankle, badly straining ligaments.
Ronnie Mcfall

Michael Fink
Concerns over a possible straining in already tense relations across the Taiwan Strait remained a drag on the market.
Oliver Fang
It puts a strain on you. It leaves us wondering what are we going to do?
Josh Franco
We don't have an answer yet. You have to balance the risks. The answer will depend on how bad the hurricane is, which direction it's heading and how virulent the flu strain is.
Dr. Judith Hartner
The mental and physical strain that squash puts on your body is what makes it a great game. There is no one dominating style that will always work, so it forces you to constantly be thinking and adapting your game to who you are playing against and what they are doing.
Julian Illingworth
A man who strains himself on the stage is bound, if he is any good, to strain all the people sitting in the stalls.
Boy George
Some industries will benefit from the anticipated strength in domestic spending and the planned acceleration in infrastructure spending, while others are expected to remain under strain from a strong rand and softer global growth.
Dennis Dykes
If you strain body too much it will refuse to accept the challenge.
Colin Croft
Out of the strain of the Doing, Into the peace of the Done.
Julia Louise Woodruff
We need to check it all out in September. We need a really good exercise to strain the system, so we can be ready to respond during the real thing.
Merle Williams
Playing octaves was just a coincidence. And it's still such a challenge, like chord versions, block chords like cats play on piano. There are a lot of things that can be done with it, but each is a field of its own. I used to have headaches every time I played octaves, because it was extra strain, but the minute I'd quit I'd be all right. But now I don't have headaches when I play octaves.
Wes Montgomery
We are facing a crisis of confidence that is eroding the public's trust in our markets, and poses a real threat to our economic health, ... The strain on the economy is deep and spreading.
Paul Sarbanes
It would put a strain on the resources big-time.
David Straus
In some cases, we classify a strain by the presence or absence of a biomarker. And sometimes we see the same biomarker proteins, but at varying levels, in different strains.
Facundo Fernandez
It's just a heavy strain on the local population, ... Things like gas and food are becoming an issue. The traffic has increased tremendously and that's caused a lot more tension in the city.
Larry Hill
We have this electronic paper display technology that gives you a reading experience very akin to reading on the printed page: very low eye strain and readable in broad daylight. It's as close to reading a printed page as you can get.
Aaron Hawkins
I don't think anyone now really understands the planetisation of mankind, really understands the new world order emerging through all this period of strain and pain and contradiction, so more than ever, we need to have an internal sense of navigation.
William Irwin Thompson
Daniel is really positive. In the past I've worked with a lot of negative individuals and it puts a lot of strain on you. Hard rock can be fun. It doesn't have to be all death. People miss the idea that rock is based on rhythm and having that move you rather than having someone shaking their fist and piercing their eyebrows.
Rich Mullins
It is too early to tell how big Isabel will be, but it is certainly going to put a capital strain on many companies.
Martin Sullivan
Given what illegal immigration costs each year, given that 30 percent of inmates in our federal prisons are illegal aliens and given the strain illegal immigration puts on our health care, it's a small price to pay.
Joe Kasper
Some people think that we're kind of headed toward a train wreck when it comes to baby boomers' saving. They're saving, but not enough. Their money could retire before they're done retiring, which could cause a strain on our national fabric.
Don Blandin
The strain on the marriage was evident. The couple was fighting all the time and the surveys revealed low satisfaction with the marriage, especially when it came to effective communication.
Dr. Rosalind Cartwright
We have this concern that this strain of influenza — technically, the H5N1 strain — will reach America in weeks or months.
Rich Dipentima
In case this turns out to be the H5N1 strain, the affected area would be cordoned off for up to 10 km and all the birds in and around the area would be vaccinated to prevent its spread.
Shyam Kumar
Sometimes we have to put our foot down, ... but before we deliberately make children unhappy in order to get them to get into the car, or to do their homework or whatever, we need to weigh whether what we're doing to make it happen is worth the possible strain on our relationship with them.
Alfie Kohn
At the University, you're required to be vaccinated. There are about 700 people who are not, and the vaccine does not protect you against every strain.
Robin Kaler
This is very realistic. We may be almost certain this will happen after this strain is found in Great Britain, before autumn, as migrating birds carry it to the United States from here.
Sergei Dankvert
Our philosophy behind the fee is to offset the strain pets can put on the State Parks resource.
Craig Whipple
There is an extra strain on the public defenders due to the increasing caseloads. The growth has been constant over the past few years in all three counties and across the state.
Rebecca Murrell
It was just everyday living. With me, it was fighting, more fighting, and more fighting. Life then was simply the way it was: ordinary, not bad, not good, just regular. No stress, no strain. Of course, no one had much of anything, but we didn't know that we were poor.
James Cagney
The strain, which Martyn sustained in his elbow during his long innings in the third test against South Africa, has worsened after the first test.
Philip Pope
As ac drive usage increases, the amount of harmonic current will also increase, further straining the already stressed distribution grid. This will eventually force manufacturers to place more emphasis on purchasing ac drives that provide some means of harmonic mitigation.
Mark Kenyon
That is a whole separate strain.
Tom Murphy
His is an abductor strain and as a precaution he had to come off. He couldn't make any change-of-pace runs.
Lee Bowyer
He's just pulled up with a slight groin strain after last week's game, but he should be fine to train at our captain's run on Thursday.
Laurie Fisher
I always tell the players to keep their neck muscles tight or firm them up so you don't strain their neck. The main point is that you always want to attack the ball and not let it attack you. You don't want the ball to hit you. You want to hit the ball. You have to be somewhat aggressive.
Johnny Ramos
In order to become a pandemic, it will have to change ... And we don't know what that changed strain will do.
Marc Lipsitch
If the strain is not relieved, it will have highly corrosive and long-term effects on the military.
William J. Perry
Rising energy prices and interest rates may overshadow the optimism employees have in the labor market in the coming months. While we don't expect worker confidence to fall dramatically, we are likely to see a softening as people struggle with greater day-to-day financial strain.
Steve Wolfe
You bowled really well yesterday (against Sri Lanka). But if you could extend your run up by just a few steps, say two or three, and gain speed gradually, you will be putting less strain on your body.
Colin Croft
The higher cost of money puts a strain on those who were highly leveraged going into it. Developers who have enough equity going into this are much more insulated and can continue on with their projects. Those who were reaching quite a bit could be in a bind now.
Doug Artusio
One of the things recessions do is uncover weak links. When you're in a strong economy, a bull market, you can paper over a lot of things. When you get under some strain, these things show up.
Lakshman Achuthan
In moments of considerable strain, I tend to take to bread-and-butter pudding. There is something about the blandness of soggy bread, the crispness of the golden outer crust and the unadulterated pleasure of a lightly set custard that makes the world seem a better place to live.
Clement Freud
I want to emphasize that the H5N1 subtype detected in Manitoba is completely distinct from the strain currently present in Asia.
Brian Evans
The biggest problem is self-deployment. It's better if people hadn't shown up. It puts a strain on the local population that is worse than if they hadn't come.
Robert Griffin
That put tremendous strain on manufacturers.
Scott Sannes
One of the very important things to point out here is that we are not dealing with a human pandemic strain yet, thank goodness.
David Reddy
We had 100 (Katrina evacuee) students spread out among all our schools. These are the kind of students that require a great deal of attention. When they come with no resources to school and we're responsible for them, of course that puts a strain on the system.
Ruth O'dell
He came out healthy. We'll see how he is tomorrow. That will determine what we do next. He threw the baseball adequately for somebody who has been out a month. The good thing is he didn't have to walk off the mound with a strain.
Curt Young
A pretty girl is like a melody That haunts you night and day Just like the strain Of a haunting refrain She'll start upon A marathon And run around your brain.
Irving Berlin
As more people start coming in, it's obviously going to strain our calls for service.
Kevin Anderson
The world of learning is so broad, and the human soul is so limited in power! We reach forth and strain every nerve, but we seize only a bit of the curtain that hides the infinite from us.
Maria Mitchell
One thing that helps a little bit here is that it's kind of 'in' to be academic. We love our sports too, but here you're not looked down on if you're striving academically. I think that eases the strain, but they (the students) still put it on themselves.
Don Bohanan
This bill recognizes the severe financial strain that high fuel prices are causing the airlines.
Keoni Wagner
If you're going to make a commitment to be in the Olympics, you're in all the time. You can't pick and choose. Every four years, everyone's under the same sort of strain. I'm actually very fortunate. I think everyone got out healthy.
Barry Trotz
That's always a problem. You have a few thousand people move in, and they tax the utilities. It puts a strain on natural resources. There are environmental costs to rapid growth.
Scott Huffmon
According to the official British tests, the three dead swans found in Hungary last week had the H5N1 bird flu strain.
Andras Batiz
I want to play every snap. I want to start every game. Ephraim wants to, too. Even though I'm disappointed, I've got to look at the silver lining that maybe this is not putting as much strain on my legs. I think I've come back sooner than expected, but you kind of wish you were all the way back.
Mike Pearson
Freedom is a hard-bought thing and millions are in chains, but they strain toward the new day drawing near.
Paul Robeson
The stress and strain of the last month took a serious toll on various health problems that I was already facing before the hurricane. After consulting with my physician, it became clear that stepping down was the only decision that made sense for me and my family.
Allan Bristow
You've got to give them more attention. It's putting a strain on my deputies. We're understaffed anyway. You've got to get them doctors, and meet their medical needs.
Roger Webb
And if avian flu develops into a pandemic human strain - as many experts fear it may - the vaccine might complement traditional vaccines and be used to protect people.
Andrea Gambotto
When we won the league championship, all the married guys on the club had to thank their wives for putting up with all the stress and strain all season. I had to thank all the single broads in New York.
Joe Namath
Locating villages is difficult for helicopter pilots. Adding an extra hour of flying time in the search for a landing zone is straining airframes.
Douglas Duncan
The way it was in Philadelphia, after we got on the streak good, we stood around for a while with our game face on. No one would make any noise. We'd sit for 15, 20 minutes. Someone would break the silence by turning the shower on. Then we'd make our move to go home for another day. It was pretty much a strain on everybody.
John Buzhardt
Jonathan's voice is under some kind of strain from a cold -- some kind of virus. No pun intended.
Johannes Laitenberger
Initially we feared the worst, that it might be a pulled hamstring, but it looks like it is only a strain. We're going to get it looked at now it has settled down and I don't think he'll be out for the season.
Roy Aitken
It put a strain on our relationship and our family, ... We thought, 'what can we do?'
Allyson Donnelly
You strain the herbs -- never eat the herbs. A lot of people think you eat the herbs. You don't eat the herbs, you just drink the tea.
Thomas Leung
Neither of us entered marriage thinking it wouldn't be a strain. Life has strains in it, and he's the person I want to strain with.
Patricia Arquette
Once they get to 70 pitches, I like to have them repeat it, and that's what Joe did today. It's easier to do it there [on a back field] because there isn't the strain and stress.
Bob Mcclure
It's really nice to have the one game on both Saturday and Sunday because it can open up your pitching options for what you can do. We should be well rested with us not having the strain of playing two games on back-to-back days.
Terri Laux
We've got folks who want to go south to check on things. They're afraid they won't be able to find any gas down there, so they are filling up lots of gas cans. It puts a strain on the local stations.
Charles Newton
In the end, the market is going to look at the financial situation, and that will depend on the United States' ability to transfer power and withdraw and relieve the financial strain of this whole exercise.
Milton Ezrati
[This strain of influenza virus] has been in horses for 40 years, and in all these years, we have never been able to document a single case of human infection with the virus.
Ruben Donis
It's costing a lot more, and we're getting a lot less from the community. It is a strain on the budget.
Brian Fife
I pace myself. I don't strain. After all, it's not the Olympics. If I get tired, I sit down. The continuous rotation appeals to me to no end.
John Pullo
There's a $48,000 gap in there. That money is being used to pay for taxes and the monthly note so it won't be a financial burden or strain on her.
Jarvis Johnson
The common strain in my work is that in each case I celebrate a moment when the individual responded to his or her own humanity.
J. Steward Johnson, Jr.
Freedom from worries and surcease from strain are illusions that always inhabit the distance.
Edwin Way Teale
This virus is not yet adapted to humans, it is not capable of human-to-human transmission and until that happens this will not be a pandemic strain.
Zsuzsanna Jakab
The most effective strain is not always best at competing for nodules. Is it the plant or the microbe that determines this? Have we bred out of crop plants the ability to choose their root bacteria?
Ellen Simms
It is not the straining for great things that is most effective; it is the doing the little things, the common duties, a little better and better.
