Tyler Christopher

Truth, after all, wears a different face to everybody, and it would be too tedious to wait till all were agreed.
James Russell Lowell
Jewelry wears thin. Flowers die. But cards get kept and gestures remembered. Ultimately, what is important, what people remember isn't the expense but the expression, and it's meaningfulness.
Gilda Carle

Dwaine Lentes
Is it a man walking on the beach, winking at the girls and looking for going to bed? Is it someone who wears a lot of gold chains and rings and sits at the bar? Because this is not me! I am very, very Latin, but not so much lover.
Antonio Banderas
Even when she was at her wackiest, most eccentric and, I think fair to say, offensive, the entire party didn't wear her as the Conservative party sometimes wears the fellows at the fringes of the party.

Robert Nebeker
It's good for our down-the-line kids and our freshmen to get a chance to play, because as the fall wears on, they're not going to get much opportunity. Then we could get in a situation where at the end of the season, we might need them. The more live reps we can get them now, the better.
Bobby Hauck
I understand that his name starts with D and that he wears No. 3 but he needs to get a new nickname.
Dennis Scott
We are coming off our worst defensive effort in my five seasons here. We don't expect our press to get a lot of turnovers. But we normally see that it affects shooting percentages late in the game and wears on people.
Todd Borrison
He definitely knows them well, ... It's a big week for him. He's giving us a heads-up on ways we can attack their technique, which guys like contact and which don't. You can get that as the game wears on, but he's giving us a heads-up beforehand. I'm hoping it will give us an advantage.
Jason Davis

Lord Byron
They're a weird program. Their band is weird. The band wears trees, and they're jumping around. Their stands are weird. It seems like a big stadium with not so many people all the time. It's quiet. That means we have to bring our own energy.
Spencer Havner
I'm not going to lie, when you're a guy that is expected to put up numbers offensively and you haven't done it for a few games, it wears on you.
Brendan Morrison
[Drawing didn't always come easy.] He struggled with black and white, ... But when he got to Arles in 1888, he discovered the reed pen, and it was then he developed a more comfortable relationship with his tool. As reed wears down, it becomes softer, more flexible and responsive to his gestures on paper.
Colta Ives
Anyone who wears black knee socks with Bermuda shorts are not to be taken seriously.
Richard James
I don't know how he's still standing. No question it wears on a guy. We had a lot of shots, a lot of shots outside, but still there was a lot of traffic in front of him. He's still battling through. He's gotta be tired. He's gotta be dead tired. He's playing pretty much every game, isn't he? But man, is he a good goalie.
Manny Legace
Not having that win with all those close games really wears on you.
Sherri Murrell
The fashionable woman wears clothes. The clothes don't wear her.

They're a huge attraction but they don't necessarily, after the first year or two, pay their way, so to speak. To some degree, as the newness wears off, even your corporate sponsors start to kind of fade away.
David Towne
A model wears clothes and looks good, which is very passive. It's not like a musician promoting a new album. You don't have to read about it.
Peter Andre
Elektra is larger than life and wears her sexuality on her sleeve. So I was wearing clothes that were 100 per cent sexy. And just giving in to that.
Jennifer Garner
From the mental aspect, it's going to help the team morale a lot. You come out off the bat down, 24-0, and it wears the mental edge of the kids down a lot.
Larry Jackson
We just had a lot of turnovers. [Dinuba] puts on a lot of pressure and wears you down.
Kelly Rother
We took a lot of dumb penalties. That was our downfall in this series. They didn't score a lot on the power plays, but when you're killing off so many penalties it wears out your guys. That was the difference; they had legs and we didn't. And they played smarter than we did. That's why this series is over.
Rob Guinn
I mean, I don't think I was liked as a person. I was kind of seen as a black kid, young African-American, cornrows, drives fancy cars, wears diamond earrings, things like that. They just kind of based their perception off of what I drove and what I did and things like that. All those things were never a part of any other player on that team but me.
Plaxico Burress
When I saw the script, ... I called them that night. I liked it that much. I love this character, I think he's loaded with love. This is a blustering kind of guy who wears his heart on his sleeve. He tells the truth and that's why I love him.
Danny Aiello
I also did some really crappy TV, like 'Beverly Hills 90210' and 'Jag,' 'The Sentinel' and 'Viper,' ... My very first job was on an NBC sitcom called 'Brotherly Love' starring Joey Lawrence and his brothers. I was terrified. I think I got the job because I'm short enough. I'm five feet five inches and he wears lifts in his shoes.
Anne Morrison
Caffeine acts as a stimulant in our body. For many people, ingesting caffeine results in a boost of energy. However, when the caffeine wears off, people often feel more fatigued than prior to ingesting the coffee.
Bradly Jacobs
What I've told the girls is: The ball is round and everyone wears shorts and tank tops. We can shoot with the best of them and defend with the best of them. One thing I know is my girls don't fear anyone.
Nsonji White

Marty Brennaman
I hate anyone who wears a dress belt with jeans.
Lance Lawson
It's too early to tell. Most of their in-house programming is not special. Most people aren't passionate about their music channels. The big choice of channels is novel but wears off after time. Music without any personality or local flavor can get boring over time.
Keith Clark
It's surprising there aren't more dog beaches. They love it out here. It wears them out so they'll sleep like babies.
Todd Walden
We're not about exploiting exactly what bra and panty some celebrity wears but we do have a lot of celebrities that like our products. For us it is always valuable to have high-profile women that are fans of our brand.
Sara Tervo
If we can sub four in and not miss a beat, that says something about our team. Once they are wearing down, they might have one or two new people. We can sub four more and keep the same intensity. That really wears teams down.
Rodney Carney
Now, things are different. Mike admits he has a lot to prove. There has been a definite change to the way he approaches the game at this time in his life. He cares about the game and has come back with a great work ethic to lead this team. Whether he wears the 'C' or not, he is the face of this team and that means a lot to him. He wants that responsibility.
Dave Lewis
To have a president in a strapless gown, is that appropriate? We spent weeks and weeks on this. She is covered below her knees. There is no cleavage, and she wears gloves.
Mimi Melgaard
Every single employee that wears a badge here, that badge become a little soiled on that day.
Undersheriff Ern Hudson
It wears on you, and I think after the first few days, we've had enough.
Lee Nelson
When you have an at-bat like that, it wears the pitcher. It sets the tone. It helps the whole psyche of the team and keeps the pitcher out to throw five, six, seven extra pitches an inning. That adds up. (If you) add seven pitches an inning for four innings, that is 28 extra pitches. Through four innings (Walker) was at 73 pitches.
Bill Wright
Honor wears different coats to different eyes.
Barbara W. Tuchman
Losing wears on you. We'd come into every game thinking, 'OK, this is the one.' One or two bad things would happen, and it was like, uh oh. Things would snowball. We were unsure on our passes, we were unsure on out shots, we were unsure on defense.
Ashley Rutledge
A celebrity is a person who works hard all his life to become well known, then wears dark glasses to avoid being recognized.
Fred Allen
He's going to come right out and tell us everything he knows. Just a heads-up on ways you can attack their technique, which guys like contact and which guys don't. You can get that from film as the game wears on, but he's giving you a heads-up beforehand.
Jason Davis
It is not so important to be serious as it is to be serious about the important things. The monkey wears an expression of seriousness which would do credit to any college student, but the monkey is serious because he itches.
Robert M. Hutchins
Without going back to individual seasons, you'd have a hard time finding so many major things happening to one club other than this year, ... It's like, 'Wow, what else could go wrong?' I think it really wears on a team that's pretty sensitive. I don't think their reversal of fortunes was 100 percent related to that, but it had an impact, no question about that.
Blue Jays
We rely on him. I don't think he ever wears out. We try to keep him on the floor as much as possible just for that floor leadership.
Rocky Peterson
He rides a bicycle and wears slippers around campus.
Dwayne Jarrett
He's a very versatile guy. We use him all over the place. He wears a lot of different hats for us in that secondary.
Tom Bradley
He's always been an emotional guy, he wears his emotions on his sleeve. But on the mound, he's got to work to correct that.
Phil Olson
Eva wears size double zero in real life, ... so we do a very funny scene where she'll freak out in a department store when it's suggested she wear a size zero.
Marc Cherry
There's not a better back court, I believe, as far as their quickness, experience, defense and scoring. We've got the two best guards in northern Wisconsin. Both of them are very quick and their speed on offense wears the other team down on defense. When the other team gets worn down, that can cause more turnovers.
Dave Meade
It has long been my belief that in times of great stress, such as a 4-day vacation, the thin veneer of family wears off almost at once, and we are revealed in our true personalities.
Shirley Jackson
I know he respects me, he's fooling himself. I just hope he wears that banana hat in the ring.
Danny Green
We hope that as the evening wears on, we will have enough to govern with the Christian Democratic Union ... if not we will remain in the opposition.
Guido Westerwelle
It does seem so pleasant to talk with an old acquaintance who knows what you know. I see so many new folks nowadays who seem to have neither past nor future. Conversation has got to have some root in the past, or else you have got to explain every remark you make, and it wears a person out.
Sarah Orne Jewett
She's going to surprise people who think she's not going to do well. I just hope it goes beyond whether she has too much makeup and what she wears. ... If she does talk about issues and she's able to put this aside, it may be a very different campaign a year from now.
Carol Weissert
He's too nervous to kill himself. He wears his seat belt in a drive-in movie.
Neil Simon
We're still small enough to have a snail-like pace in opening new locations. We're still hands on enough that it wears us out.
Jeff Goldstein
And Kate Hepburn-God, she's beautiful, God, she plays golf well, God, she can get anyone in the world on the phone, God, she knows what to do all the time, God, she wears clothes well.
Joseph L. Mankiewicz
The travel wears you down, it really does. But they (the Lightning) had to travel far to get here, too, and they're not used to the time difference. It all evens out.
Nils Ekman
It's a battle as a coach and a player. Just getting to Friday nights are hard. It wears you out. Sometimes you have to reach down deep and get a little more to pull you through. And this is only the first week of league.
Rob Scheidt
I cannot eat but little meat - My stomach is not good; but sure I think that I can drink - with him that wears a hood.
John Still
The Prince of Chintz wears well and resists stains.
Georgia Dullea
He struggled with black and white. But when he got to Arles in 1888, he discovered the reed pen, and it was then he developed a more comfortable relationship with his tool. As reed wears down, it becomes softer, more flexible and responsive to his gestures on paper.
Colta Ives
I like to press all game, but we haven't been able to because it wears you out. Next year, with a little depth, we should be able to run up and down the floor. [Point guard] T.J. Parker , he's a little blur, but you have to have someone to throw to. Mike gets up and down the court, and when he gets around the basket, he can score.
Bill Carmody
They played physical, and it wears you out after awhile. We had to play hard, too, and it came down to fatigue.
Nathan Daume
I want them to know everything, but it wears me out. It will always wear me out.
Peggy Brant
He that respects himself is safe from others. He wears a coat of mail that none can pierce.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
I'd love to get Victoria Beckham in a room and say, 'How did you do it?' If I don't eat for a day I've got a baby that wears me out and I'm shattered by six o'clock - and then I've still got two hours to go.
Louise Redknapp
Their size really wears you down. We had a nice run, then (in the fourth quarter) we were taking early shots, then taking tough shots.
Christine Labombard
I don't know if George Clooney wears the same tux over and over again. But when you're George Clooney, it's doesn't matter. He is a movie star.
Galina Espinoza
Rebecca wears her heart on her face. She has been working on that skill for awhile. She has competed with it before. Everything came together for her with that.
Carla Peterson
You've just got to know that going in - children, animals and Tyler Perry, you're gonna get upstaged. Truthfully, he's a very giving collaborator, whatever hat he wears.
Blair Underwood
He's legally blind, born like that, wears those Coke-bottle glasses.
Malcolm White
We have gotten a lot better as the season wears on. We probably won't win the WPIAL, but we could probably make some noise in the playoffs if we continue to improve.
Don Cooley
They played really well in the first half. Their legs were fresh and we could handle the contact and the bumping and grinding. But when that continues in the third and fourth quarter, that just wears on you.
Tom Halbmaier
Everybody wears a visible harness. There are visible ropes all over the stage, both for gorillas and for Tarzan — and you see them literally clip in and harness up. It's part of the language of the piece.
Thomas Schumacher
[LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Never mind] Aquaman ... The Devil Wears Prada.
Adrian Grenier
The patch is applied in the operating room, directly on the incision. The objective here is to eliminate any potential lapse in pain control from the time local anesthetic wears off to the time the lidocaine patch takes effect.
James Barrett
We're asking people to play against guys that outweigh them in some spots by 30 or 40 pounds. That wears on you after a while.
Brevin Knight
She's the whole package, ... No player is as single-minded as she is. She is one of the great repeaters [of the swing] in the history of the game. She's physically stronger and mentally tougher. She wears people out.
Judy Rankin
That wears on your heart.
Ronnie Courtney
Not everyone who wears a beard or is a Muslim is a terrorist. This unspeakable act was one of ignominy which totally ran counter to the principles of Islam.
Felix Herrero
It's a tightly twisted product that wears well.
Randy Hall
When someone wears false eyelashes there's a line you can see. You can tell. With eyelash extensions, you absolutely, 100 percent cannot tell.
John Mcgarvey
Shan is human. You play 45 minutes with an overtime, and it wears out anybody. I would have to put some other people in there to give her a break. Down the stretch, we're going to need her. I really noticed it when she went to the free-throw line in one game and didn't have any legs.
Shirley Walker
Any idiot can face a crisis, it is this day-to-day living that wears you out.
Anton Chekhov
The novelty of waking up to a fax machine next to your bed going off in the middle of the night with an order from Japan wears off.
Naomi Bradshaw
Be master of your petty annoyances and conserve your energies for the big, worthwhile things. It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out - it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
Robert Service
KING, n. A male person commonly known in America as a 'crowned head,' although he never wears a crown and has usually no head to speak of. A king, in times long, long gone by, Said to his lazy jester: 'If I were you and you were I My moments merrily would fly -- Nor care nor grief to pester.' 'The reason, Sire, that you would thrive,' The fool said -.
Ambrose Bierce
ABSENT, adj. Peculiarly exposed to the tooth of detraction; vilifed; hopelessly in the wrong; superseded in the consideration and affection of another. To men a man is but a mind. Who cares What face he carries or what form he wears? But woman's body is the woman. O, Stay thou, my sweetheart, and do never go, But heed the warning words the sage hath said: A woman.
Ambrose Bierce
It isn't the mountain ahead that wears you out; it's the grain of sand in your shoe.
Rodan Of Alexandria
(Performing live) invigorates you, but life on the road wears you down. The frequencies hitting your ears and the volume can tire you, but you're so elated onstage you don't notice it. The next morning you implode. You do five gigs in a row, have a day off, then seven in a row, day off -- it's a strange kind of torture. You love it, but it destroys you.
Lisa Gerrard
So long as he wears the name tags.
Eric Antebi
Right now I am kind of addicted, ... but when the newness wears off I think it won't be as bad. At first you get all these new friends and after that it's like 'what do you do now?'
Elizabeth Mcdonald
Men greet each other with a sock on the arm, women with a hug, and the hug wears better in the long run.
Edward Hoagland
I sometimes think that never blows so red The Rose as where some buried Caesar bled; That every Hyacinth the Garden wears Dropt in her Lap from some once lovely Head.
Edward Fitzgerald
A designer is only as good as the star who wears her clothes.
