It took me twenty years of studied self-restraint, aided by the natural decay of my faculties, to make myself dull enough to be accepted as a serious person by the British public.
George Bernard Shaw

The reading of all good books is indeed like a conversation with the noblest men of past centuries who were the authors of them, nay a carefully studied conversation, in which they reveal to us none but the best of their thoughts.
Rene Descartes
There were times when he could not read the face he had studied so long, and when this lonely girl was a greater mystery to him than any women of the world...
Charles Dickens
Thousands upon thousands of persons have studied disease. Almost no one has studied health.
Adelle Davis
It was one of the most, if not the most, studied pain relievers ever to go on the market except aspirin.
Christy Jones
We've studied the market there and we think this would be a good opportunity for Bloomingdale's, ... And by making the announcement now, we can have more input into the interior design of the store and we can make it truly a Bloomingdale's.
Carol Sanger
We have not studied all of them. Many of them may be sound, while there may be others that merit override consideration.
Paul Larrabee
The reason Martin studied Japanese is because orchestra members teased him that he was illiterate in seven languages. He knew a little bit of French; he knew a little bit of Russian; he knew a little bit of Italian, but none well at all. They teased him, so he studied Japanese, because it was the hardest language.
Carrie Smith
The focus should be on making sure that the Palestinian infiltration is studied by the government and that it takes responsibility for how to deal with the situation.
Gen Michel Aoun
That's exactly how he got to Capitol Hill. He listened and he watched, he studied, he absorbed. Bill Fulbright became Bill Clinton's giant.
Lee Williams
Because people are interconnected, we think this phenomenon we studied in elderly married couples applies more generally. We are looking at broader connections -- between parent and child, brother and sister, neighbors, and friends.
Dr. Nicholas Christakis
We don't believe this needs to be studied additionally.
Howard Gantman
It all started after high school when we would take different surf trips and learn about different cultures. I never studied it formally, but I learned a lot during my visits.
Keith Lyerly
I got a few books on tourist attractions, and I studied a National Art Museum book. I saw some of the real paintings. It's neat to see the real-life paintings up close.
Caroline Leland
I've read about foreign policy and studied - I know the number of continents (during his 1968 presidential campaign).
George Wallace
The more people have studied different methods of bringing up children the more they have come to the conclusion that what good mother and fathers instinctively feel like doing for their babies is the best after all.
Benjamin Spock
They've studied the famous houses, the people and important dates. We've been able to introduce it more and more through the new state standards. It's a nice sense of how your town evolved.
Carol Price
The factors that we have studied include reproductive factors, female hormone use, smoking, obesity, exercise, diet, neighborhood characteristics and experiences of racism.
Lynn Rosenberg
Everyone knows what a curve is, until he has studied enough mathematics to become confused through the countless number of possible exceptions.
Felix Klein
We built and sold more homes last year than we did the year before, so I don't fully understand the numbers they're working with. I would be scratching my head as someone who has studied economics for years.
Monica Caruso
Back in the 90s, sociologists studied what they called 'boomerang children,' adult children who returned home or were in and out of their parents' home. What they found that it wasn't because they were freeloaders. It was because the economy was bad.
Donna King
In France, Germany, the United States and Japan, she is studied in schools. Here in Britain, she is not a set text.
Nicholas James
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others. That is nice but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.
Helen Hayes
Because of that (relationship), we've studied the Utah situation a lot.
Chris Petersen
I don't like this reality television, I have to be honest, ... I think real people should not be on television. It's for special people like us, people who have trained and studied to appear to be real.
Garry Shandling
Also the imposition of excise duty of 12 percent on computers needs to be studied from an impact perspective since the finance minister has said that there will be no increase in cost due to this.
Javed Tapia
He's an ideologue who shot from the cuff; it was not a studied statement.
Mustafa Hamarneh
When I first came here, there were still a lot of things I didn't know, especially about the 3-4. Last spring, I studied every night and came in an hour before practice to make sure I knew everything that was going on.
Jon Copper
The key question is, 'Are you ready for first-year college-level coursework?' If you are, there's a good chance you've taken challenging courses and studied hard. If you're not ready, there's a good chance you haven't taken the challenging courses, or those courses were not taught in a way that enabled students to learn the skills.
Ken Gullette
In civilized life, where the happiness and indeed almost the existence of man, depends on the opinion of his fellow men. He is constantly acting a studied part.
Jeremy Collier
Too often new ideas are studied and analyzed until they are suffocated.
William Pollard
This is the only such debris disk among the 33 sun-like stars we've studied in our project so far, and one of only five such objects known.
Michael Meyer
I tell you, as one who has studied the whole situation, I don't think Hitler is a fool - he is not going to challenge the British Empire.
David Lloyd George
Previous studies have suggested that abnormal levels of thyroid stimulating hormone may represent a cardiac risk factor, the way that increased cholesterol or smoking are risk factors for heart disease. We set out to answer the question of whether there are cardiovascular consequences resulting from mild thyroid problems, using data from a large population studied for a long period of follow-up.
Anne Cappola
Whether or not one agrees with that, that's where he is coming from. What will have to happen, is the issue will have to be studied. I think in the long run we will see speed limits down here.
Bruce Dungan
I was stuck in boarding school when I was seven years old and I knew that the only way to get out was to go pass your exams, so I studied.
Jared Harris
These are critically important issues that need to be brought to our attention, ... We want to be informed by thoughtful students, who have studied these issues in-depth, about what programs work and what needs to be improved.
Peter Salovey
Migraine in children has rarely been studied, and the findings revealed that boys are nearly as likely as girls to experience migraines. Previous studies in adults have shown that females were generally much more susceptible.
Paul Winner
That's what's so ironic is that this is what I actually did for a living, was work with kids that have been molested. So of course, I have studied for years and I know the signs. That's why it's so mind-boggling that this happened to Justin right here in my own home.
Karen Berry
I'll reassure them. I'll just say 'I know you've studied, I know you're prepared. Just relax.' Believe me, I know how they feel.
Cindy Hotchkiss
Trent realized that this was his shot and went for it. He has an approach to music that I appreciate, he's studied great songwriters and is a very engaging person which separates him from others.
Doug Howard
We're a university, so we offer an academic look. Not that we're so dreadfully serious, but we have studied the industry.
Russ White
You've got to step it up. It's not the same. What you did during the regular season, it's not good enough. You've got to be better. Those guys will be better. They've studied you, they've looked at what you do. There are very few secrets when you get to this point. You have to be good enough to handle these guys.
Larry Coyer
It's a remote island with very little access, so it has been little studied over the years.
Haraldur Sigurdsson
No one can be as calculatedly rude as the British, which amazes Americans, who do not understand studied insult and can only offer abuse as a substitute.
Paul Gallico
Many ways of taking care of carbon dioxide are being studied, particularly carbon sequestration.
Mike Carey
He is great, he runs hard. He's studied the offense pretty well. He sets up my blocks pretty well. I think he is going to gain a lot of yards. It is going to be fun to block for him. I have blocked for a lot of good running backs, and they can really make your job easier by setting up blocks, making the correct reads.
Chris Hetherington
I have to play an opponent, a very powerful opponent, that studied all my games, that has a unique ability -- the best on the planet -- to collect all this information and analyze that, and I know nothing about him, ... I said 'him.' I meant 'it.'
Garry Kasparov
Athletes have studied how to leap and how to survive the leap some of the time and return to the ground. They don't always do it well. But they are our philosophers of actual moments and the body and soul in them, and of our maneuvers in our emergencies and longings.
Harold Brodkey
And we did look at it, ... We studied it, characterized it and in February of 2002 the (DOE) secretary recommended it to the president who recommended it to Congress.
Allen Benson
We found it was more permanent than that. About 60 per cent of the time, women who out-earned men did so for at least the three-year period we studied.
Dr Timothy Mcbride
Yeah, well, I'm crazy, but I'm not stupid, hopefully. And I think we're all a bit crazy if we do anything that's deviant. I've studied a great deal on deviance and aberrant behavior. Most of the interesting people I've ever met have been deviant in one form or another.
Anton Lavey
I've listened to a lot of music, and I reckon that my records are definitely better, more stimulating, and more carefully constructed than any others. I've studied the melodies and lyrical forms of many artists, but no-one else quite seems to sustain the burning intensity of my own work.
Roy Harper
I don't like to comment on things that I don't know or haven't studied. I'm not one of these guys who automatically has a wand in his hand and can tell you about a player.
Maurice Carthon
He's a scholar and somewhat of an academic, and has studied our history and America's place in the world, in history, and believes that all the progress of the last century, or a goodly portion of it -- eradication of tyrants and communism and fascism and Hitlerism -- was a direct result of the strength of the United States of America and their willingness to use their strength for good.
Mary Matalin
Rage is the only quality which has kept me, or anybody I have ever studied, writing columns for newspapers.
Jimmy Breslin
Russ is just a goofy, fun-loving guy, almost like a cartoon character. He's always nice, respectful and hardworking. He studied more than I did.
Jeremy Burgess
We've studied the direct-mail model, and we continue to study it, but we still haven't found a way to make money with it.
Karen Raskopf
We were unique with this project, out of all the Category II license applicants. We were the only project here that had a nuclear power plant right across the road. It was also the largest project. So the traffic issue really had to be studied for many, many reasons. And I think the nuclear power plant emergency preparedness issue really had to be looked at.
Mike Pincus
The health effects of uranium really haven't been studied since the Manhattan Project (the development of the atomic bomb in the early 1940s). But now there is more interest in the health effects of depleted uranium. People are asking questions now.
Diane Stearns
It took six months to write. It's not a hugely popular article on the site, but it was the most fascinating thing I've ever studied. It's amazing how intricate we are -- I learned so much.
Marshall Brain
I am self-taught; I studied for a few years and then I gave up, ... Then, seven or eight years passed, and I got transferred here to the Valley (from El Paso) and we had Brazilians.
Carlos Lopez
I've read about foreign policy and studied, I now know the number of continents.
George Wallace
[Madonna's rep took the high road.] I'd sure love to have dinner with Bryan Ferry and Madonna anytime, ... I think they're two of the most fascinating people I've ever met. Don't know Jagger. And have no idea why Sharon Osbourne finds Madonna loathsome because she has found a form of spirituality which she has studied seriously for ten years and that gives her serenity in her life.
Liz Rosenberg
My grades weren't what they should have been, so they sent me back to the ninth grade. I was glad, because I wanted to study music, and Cass Tech was second only to Juilliard. We studied all kinds of music, harmony and orchestration.
Gerald Wilson
The Russian proposal is based on the establishment of a joint Iran-Russia company on Russian soil for enrichment of uranium...it can be studied, so that its economic, technical and scientific aspects will be clear.
Javad Vaidi
We've studied this issue enough, ... It's past time. Our state budget has a $1 billion shortfall.
David Boswell
What can we surmise about the likelihood of someone's being caring and generous, loving and helpful, just from knowing that they are a believer? Virtually nothing, say psychologists, sociologists, and others who have studied that question for decade.
Alfie Kohn
Of the 32 species of sea horses in the world, only four have been studied underwater. We need to increase our most basic understanding of these fish ? how long they live and where their seasonal migrations are.
Amanda Vincent
My grandmother had a Miss Margaret's School of Dance to teach tap and ballet to kids, but I never studied it. I was raised a Mormon and they're dancing fools. It's the only vice they have - dancing.
Michelle Shocked
The win we received was a blessing from God. We studied their game, but we couldn't stop them like we wanted to.
Debbie Brasher
It's the first time we've been inside the earthquake machine. We've looked at the fossil earthquakes, we've made computer models, and we've made laboratory earthquakes. We've studied them from afar, but we've never been inside the machine where the action is.
Bill Ellsworth
We've studied this from many perspectives in women and in men, and we get the same answer: It's not the obesity, it's the fitness.
Steven Blair
Being enrolled in the National Register of Historic Places is an honorific designation. It means the site has been studied and deemed significant in American history and culture.
Mary Humstone
Before the attacks of 2001, almost nobody had studied anthrax for many years, ... And so there was no real data about hand-hygiene agents' effects on it.
David Weber
I've been a dog trainer for 25 years, that's how I got the idea, ... I knew people wanted to do things with their dogs. So I studied the pet market industry, and with this county growing, I knew if I built it, they would come.
Laurie Williams
I'm not an M.D. or a Ph.D., ... but as a mom of four, I've studied at the feet of experts, both tall and small.
Paula Spencer
The theory of computation has traditionally been studied almost entirely in the abstract, as a topic in pure mathematics. This is to miss the point of it. Computers are physical objects, and computations are physical processes. What computers can or cannot compute is determined by the laws of physics alone, and not by pure mathematics.
David Deutsch
My mother drew a distinction between achievement and success. She said that 'achievement is the knowledge that you have studied and worked hard and done the best that is in you. Success is being praised by others, and that's nice, too, but not as important or satisfying. Always aim for achievement and forget about success.'
Helen Hayes
We didn't know what (the deposits) meant, because we never studied the possibility of a tsunami. That angle never occurred to us.
Thyagarajan Satyamurthy
The new Russian proposal can be studied so that its economic, technical and scientific aspects will be clear.
Javad Vaidi
He studied and learned about the procedure and about the company that made the artificial hip. So he bought a lot of stock in the company and made a bunch of money on it.
Mack Whittle
A lot of the kids coming here for this have never studied written music. They've learned to play guitar and write songs, but if I asked them to play a C7 chord with a flatted 9th, most of them wouldn't know how. At the end of one year, they will.
Norbert Putnam
That is why we are working with 44 partners from 12 European countries, which means almost all the groups that have studied these questions on our continent. This will enable us to compile a kind of super European database.
Jeremy Sweet
The idea that the Oral School needs to be jointly studied is not a new idea.
Barbara Strother
We've seen a good response in 40 percent of patients studied. Patients reported they have less pain and feel better overall. They significantly improved in measures of physical disability.
Stanley Cohen
I studied English Literature. I wasn't a very good student, but one thing I did get from it, while I was making films at the same time with the college film society, was that I started thinking about the narrative freedoms that authors had enjoyed for centuries and it seemed to me that filmmakers should enjoy those freedoms as well.
Christopher Nolan
I have generally found that persons who had studied painting least were the best judges of it.
William Hogarth
We've looked at fossil earthquakes, we've made computer models, and we've made earthquakes in the laboratory. We've studied them from afar, but we've never before been where the action is.
William Ellsworth
It remains to be seen whether or not this will be helpful for the entire population before we make a statement about this. But it is being studied, it has been studied, and we're waiting for the results of that study to be completed ... hopefully within the next couple of years.
Jay Brooks
No man should marry before he has studied anatomy and dissected the body of a woman.
Honore De Balzac
She was very important in helping me form a certain sensibility about writing fiction. I read her 13 short stories over and over and over again. I studied them and I loved them.
Sue Monk Kidd
It's amazing the information they have about the Civil War. They've studied the history very thoroughly.
Donald Moss
We studied 37 midsized to large catastrophes last year. I don't remember any that were as devastating as this one seems to be.
John Eager
St. Patrick escaped from slavery, studied in a monastery, and was appointed a bishop to Ireland. He traveled throughout the country, establishing monasteries, schools and churches, and he is known for converting the Irish people to Christianity.
Marc Lewis
I was 8 years old. We studied wastewater disposal and planets.
Michael Zolensky
[Scientists are looking at] potential long-term negative effects of having been infected, maybe not even being really sick -- maybe having a mild headache and other sorts of things -- but still having some minor neurological problems for extended periods of time. As it's better studied, it seems there're more reports of that sort of thing out there.
Dawn Wesson
Where films won't be consumed like products, but preserved, watched, studied, compared, and loved, as works.
Renaud Donnedieu De Vabres
Phase 2 studies are typically well controlled and closely monitored and may involve up to several hundred patients. At the conclusion of these studies, FDA (Food and Drug Administration) and the sponsor usually meet to determine how the drug's development should be studied in Phase 3 and how to design and conduct further trials.
Dr. Steven Galson
I see a coach who worked at it, studied other coaches, who was driven to be a good coach overall, ... We all need a little humility, and he's probably an even better coach than he was from that [Redskins] experience.
Vince Dooley
I think that rather than condemning Islam, Islam needs to be studied by those who are sincere.
Louis Farrakhan
We studied the change in temperature range that occurred during the three-day period immediately following the 9/11 terror attacks when airplanes were grounded and compared those to the three-day period immediately before and afterwards.
David Travis
I expected a lot out of this team. We worked hard in practice this week. We had a good week. We studied film a lot. We saw some weaknesses and we knew what they would do.
James Clarke
The kids came to the warehouse, where we have 5,000 gallons of living reef. The children studied the equipment, animals, different relationships between the animals, and learned about water purification, salinity, feeding and lighting.
Scott Newman
For several months we have studied the economics of the Pickering A Units 2 and 3 [returning] to service, including third-party reviews.
Jim Hankinson
There is the understanding of the music and culture of the area. The band has studied the idea of the jazz funeral procession and how New Orleans residents use that as a time of mourning and a celebration of life.
Wade Presley
I don't have the dance background like Stacy, who studied ballet, or Drew, who was in a boy band.
Lisa Rinna
I usually try to paint things that I've actually seen. I've been to Europe. I studied there for about a month.
Bruce Moore
He has studied military tactics and counterinsurgency operations, but I don't think this is someone who sees himself as a commander. This is someone who sees himself as a stimulator.
Anthony H. Cordesman
It's wonderful news for us. First and foremost we are applauding the efforts of the USGA and the R&A. They studied this for the last three years and came to the conclusion that these things can legitimately speed up play.
Rob O'loughlin
The dad could speak a little English, but the mother didn't speak any. They had a daughter who studied English in high school.
Matt Mahalak
Other students studied piano or violin, but I switched from flutes to drums. Music is a bridge between cultures.
Theo Staub
Everything he did, he really got into it. He taught himself how to paint, and a lot of what he did was pretty good. ... And for me, eating is something you do three times a day because you're hungry. For Bill, dining was an adventure. He loved ethnic foods and wines. He studied that, too.
Lon Simmons
It is a good thing for an uneducated man to read books of quotations. Bartlett's Familiar Quotations is an admirable work, and I studied it intently. The quotations when engraved upon the memory give you good thoughts. They also make you anxious to read the authors and look for more.
Sir Winston Churchill
We have extensively studied the projects for the next phase. And we feel confident that we have chosen the ones that will best meet the needs of the city.
Greg Pirkle
I have studied the art of the masters and the art of the moderns, avoiding any preconceived system and without prejudice.
Gustave Courbet
We studied many different versions of classic fairy tales from different cultures around the world. We took stories like Cinderella and Little Red Riding Hood and studied at least five versions of each so the students could compare and contrast them.
Cindy Williams
The hot spots studied in this paper are essentially refugee camps for many of our planet's most unique plant and animal species. If those areas are no longer habitable due to global warming then we will quite literally be destroying the last sanctuaries many of these species have left.
Lee Hannah
Some Marines made fun of the fact that I had done plays and studied poetry, but then I won the award for physical training.
David Hunt
Will surprise even the most studied and learned cartoonist.
James Sturm
Every fundamentalist movement I've studied in Judaism, Christianity and Islam is convinced at some gut, visceral level that secular liberal society wants to wipe out religion.
Karen Armstrong
We studied the properties of galaxies close to the Milky Way instead of looking billions of light years away. It's like traveling from Seattle to Portland, Ore., rather than from Seattle to New York, to measure the Earth's curvature.
Fabio Governato
He was very bright and talented. What he did was learn his craft well. As he said, you can't be stupid and get eight gold records in the music market. ... He studied what he needed to do as a legislator. But he also had wonderful timing, and he was just naturally a humorous person, and when you combine that and the timing he learned from the entertainment industry, he was just a knockout.
William Thomas
I think you could anticipate this spreading. Writing is best studied under a domain of knowledge. My instinct is that this will pay off for both sides. When you approach math as algorithm, it loses all its beauty. I think that is what is missing in high school math.
Marsha Watson
We studied other middle schools and we went very slow. We set ourselves a 10-year goal to make a really good middle school.
Vic Palladino
This was a straight-forward, hard-nosed, blue-collar camp. This was like being in school. You studied, you got tested and then the teachers - the coaches - went over the results with you.
Terrelle Smith
No, can't you tell? - when asked if she had ever studied acting or singing.
Dorothy Lamour
I haven't been up there and studied them for a while, but I know what kind of athletes they recruit, ... They recruit nothing but the best, so I know they will be fine.
Gerald Griffin
Singing at a venue like that was a once-in-a-lifetime thing which they'll never forget. They have studied many of the people who have performed there.
Patton Rice
This is not a single technique, but really a research approach which takes the individual processes that are often studied in isolation and links them together in a model. This is an approach for making full use of the fundamental research in field-scale studies.
Carl Steefel
The turgid style of Johnson, the purple glare of Gibbon, and even the studied and thickset metaphors of Junius are all equally unnatural, and should not be admitted into our company.
Benjamin Rush
They have similar genes in the worm and the only reason we really know about what those genes do in people is because they've been studied in worms.
Robert Waterston
Our department's lawyers have certainly studied this and are prepared to go forward and defend the existing policy, ... To date, nobody has presented anything that's caused us to believe that we should abandon our current policy.
Kathleen O'toole
Ah God! Had I but studied in the days of my foolish youth.
Francois Villon
It just shows that you can never stop looking. Just because something has been studied for years doesn't mean that it can't still tell us new things.
Dr Lee Berger
What you want to do here is study a problem that has been studied and studied and studied to death.
Tim Lawrence
By the time the treatment is given to our patients in a clinical trial, it has been studied for many, many months, even years.
Bonnie Kleissle
The problem with the study is that big-box retailers and online retailers are not within the area studied. Overall, record sales are up more than 8 percent year-to-year (but) sales at independent record stores are down more than 4 percent.
Hank Barry
It always nagged me. I played almost every game hurt. I couldn't do anything about it. I just studied film more and it forced me to use my brain more.
Justin Wyatt
It's probably one of the most studied mammals in the world.
Chuck Schwartz
They studied it. You can't manipulate a law unless you know how it works. And they were in the process of manipulating it, well past the point of breaking it, when we caught them.
Attorney General Greg Stumbo
We really haven't studied that situation to determine the best course of action.
Jim Sluzewski
I'm from the South and I really studied Tennessee Williams, ... I love plays that are poetry-based, but last year, when all those Williams plays went to Broadway ('A Streetcar Named Desire' and 'The Glass Menagerie'), it didn't occur to producers to ask me if I was interested.
Kenny Leon
Of course, I just assumed that the world was full of solo percussionists. It was only when I studied music full time, in London, that I realized that the career of a full-time classical percussionist did not in fact exist. It had to be created.
Evelyn Glennie
We know that in all species that have been studied, calorie restriction increases the maximum life span.
Eric Ravussin
We adjusted and adapted well. We knew that Alpha had brought in several players. We studied them and won the game at midfield. We added an extra midfield and I think that did it for us.
Ellis Noel
Female chimps that we studied tended to learn the skill about 27 months earlier than male chimps.
Elizabeth Lonsdorf
Gonzales incident happened last September 21. The announcement is September 28. This is not rush. In fact it was studied by the legal.
Eduardo Ermita
It was in the Papal States that I studied the Roman Question. I traveled over every part of the country; I conversed with men of all opinions, examined things very closely, and collected my information on the spot.
Edmond About
He's come in and studied on his own and knows a lot of the offense. He's further along than I thought he'd be.
Eddie Gran
My aunt, or whoever it was, who brought me from the South, would have killed me, because she didn't like anything like that. The only thing she liked was a concert pianist. Which is marvelous; I wish I'd studied piano.
