This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.
George Bernard Shaw

I once had a sparrow alight upon my shoulder for a moment, while I was hoeing in a village garden, and I felt that I was more distinguished by that circumstance that I should have been by any epaulet I could have worn.
Henry David Thoreau
We're a little worn down, but I think my dad does a good job trying to get us rest when we're not playing. We've reached the point of the season where you just have to keep playing through it.
Patrick Beilein
It was crazy, just physically on the body. It tears you down. We played 70 something games (in baseball last season). There was a point where my body was getting worn down and my recovery time (was slow). I'd just feel really sore the next day and through the weekend. I'd be fresh on Friday and on Saturday, and Sunday I was beat.
Gavin Dickey
The school division will not prohibit students from expressing their political beliefs by wearing clothing such as the T-shirts in question, so long as they are not worn ... under circumstances where disruption to schools and injury to students is reasonably foreseeable.
Mary Mcgowan
He's probably worn his most outrageous (outfits) when he's in a video or on stage. What we photographed him in is very much what he wanted to wear.

Torrell Martin

David Douglas

Diane Farrell
Clearly, the pixie dust for tech workers has worn off.
Marcus Courtney
You have to win 16 games, which is four rounds, then you have to play another tournament with the best of the west against the best of the east. They say it's one of the hardest trophies to win. You have to play the best teams at the end of the year, and everyone is tired and worn down.
Corey Perry
Our policy is that any type of clothing which has graphics, words or pictures that are distracting to the learning process of the school … are not supposed to be worn.

Joanne Woodward
I've worn a lot of uniforms this year. You don't want to make a habit of that.
David Ross
Typically, outside of churches there would be people selling religious souvenirs. There would be someone selling little prints of an image that might be in the church. They were treasured, worn by soldiers into battle, and became personal badges of affiliation.
Martha J. Egan
My overcoat is worn out; my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening; it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark.
William Tyndale
We made enough plays to win on offense and played enough defense to be worn out and in a position to lose. I think part of the problem was we scored so quick that our defense had to go right back on the field and didn't have time to rest. We weren't tackling very well. We couldn't get people to the point of attack.
Paul Maechtle
Truth is a point, the subtlest and finest; harder than adamant; never to be broken, worn away or blunted. Its only bad quality is, that it is sure to hurt those who touch it; and likely to draw blood, perhaps the life blood of those who press earnestly upon it.
Walter Savage Landor
The fabric that we selected has a smooth surface, with a silver thread on the backing. That thread is knit in a specific geometric pattern, so when the suit is worn, you have very even distribution of the pattern.
Phil Shettig
And everyone, everyone ? everyone ? knew what they were. They knew someone had drowned there. Even though the messages were faded and worn away, everyone knew what the posts were.
John Clarke
There's an entire suit of men's clothing, and you have to think about who would have worn it.

Catherine Bell
I've worn down opponents before and today that's what he did to me.
Greg Helstrom
An adventure may be worn as a muddy spot or it may be worn as a proud insignia. It is the woman wearing it who makes it the one thing or the other.
Norma Shearer

Maggie Gallant
The novelty may worn off a little bit. They haven't had the best of starts. They don't have an owner yet.
Joshua Schwartz
Happiness cannot be traveled to, owned, earned, worn or consumed. Happiness is the spiritual experience of living every minute with love, grace, and gratitude.
Denis Waitley
She has worn fur, so the innocent did not get hurt. It wasn't friendly fire.
Ingrid Newkirk
He took a Madame X silhouette and did something new with it, ... There were lots of pieces that can be worn by all sorts of women across this country. He showed a range of strengths: a jersey gown with a touch of lace, that black metallic gown with texture and crunch. He can do a great bikini and do a great eyelet so that a full skirt doesn't look too immature.
Sally Singer
The game will get to you. You get worn out, especially playing back-to-back games. But with me being a high percentage free throw shooter, I knew I was going to make them.
Tony James
A house that does not have one worn, comfy chair in it is soulless.
May Sarton
It was a lot different over there. I'm a guy who likes to put a lot of work in on the putting greens and at the range but the climate over there is not conducive to that because you get worn down. It's so hot and so humid in places. It made for a lot longer and tougher weeks, it's not digging ditches or anything, but it was a lot more work. The grasses were different, the greens were different . .
Darren Griff
We got worn down as usual with our limited number of kids, ... and they took it to us.
Rick Welch
They are a good team ? I knew we would have our hands full. It was going to take a lot of heart and desire, and we tried. I think we got worn down a little bit.
Gene Sarazen
It's a double-edged sword, really. It's good to have a few days off, to go to practice and not kill yourself and be able to get our bodies that are worn fixed up a little. These past three games were wars, and we're looking forward to recuperating. Then again, maybe a game on Wednesday wouldn't be so bad. If you're losing, you're hoping for an off week.
Anthony Drejaj
The last time we did '42nd Street,' there were no complaints about the content, but someone complained that one of the costumes worn by a young lady in the cast was a little too much.
Carol Newman
In heaven we shall appear, not in armour, but in robes of glory. But here these are to be worn night and day; we must walk, work, and sleep in them, or else we are not true soldiers of Christ.
William Gurnall
We just wanted to put it all out there and go for the win. We figured they might be a bit worn out after the Lincoln-Way game.
Jessica Scott
Their officers are working 20 hours a day, and they were just worn out, ... They wanted to have some relief for their officers.
Mike Rutherford
We started this program when our kids were going to school there (AHS). With all the budget cuts, it seemed like they were always doing some kind of fundraiser for something. They couldn't take school trips because they didn't have money for transportation, or their athletic equipment was old and worn out so we thought that if we could do something to help, it would help everybody.
Linda Herron
Used to be. It is changing. It has changed so much in ten years. The novelty has worn off for me, I may have to get out of here, or want to, but you always come back. Once this place is in your blood, you always come back. There is no doubt about it.
Rob Wright
Yes, threadbare seem his songs, to lettered ken - they were worn threadbare next the hearts of men.
William Watson
It was just a fullback run up the middle and we missed a few tackles. I don't know if we were worn down or not.
Dan Dickel
I only had a couple of pieces. I was worn out after trying to eat that.
Craig Lewis
I might have been a little bit surprised by the timing. Almost any coach wherever I've been has always been worn out (at the end of a season) and said they didn't want to do it next year. Bruce has had those conversations with me, but he thinks things through. If he wasn't ready to do it, he wouldn't have said anything to me.
Rick Schmidt
I for one am worn out. These people must be worn out too.
Michael Clara
This is the final part of the highway?s preventative maintenance project. The surface was very worn and rough.
Gene Blaum
Good sense travels on the well-worn paths; genius, never. And that is why the crowd, not altogether without reason, is so ready to treat great men as lunatics.
Cesare Lombroso
She lost a little bit there towards the end. I think she kind of got worn out there at the end. That's why we had to bring Carly (Britton) in. I think throughout the entire game, (White) did a great job for us. We're going to look to her and Carly both for big games this season.
Shawnda Vines
Sweater, n.: garment worn by child when its mother is feeling chilly.

Bob Kennedy
At the end of the game I was getting frustrated and worn down. I was having trouble throwing strikes and losing some confidence.
Grace Luginbuhl
We both played last night and I think both teams were a little worn down. In those situations, talent can get you through a game and Slovakia has a lot of skill.
Arturs Irbe
We had a couple of injuries on the defensive side and the guys got worn down. Give all credit to Charleston, because they knew what the weaknesses were. They kept at it.
Raymond House
HAND, n. A singular instrument worn at the end of the human arm and commonly thrust into somebody's pocket.

Catherine Young
I've been playing hockey for a long time and I've worn a lot of sweaters, but when I put this sweater on, it's probably the best feeling in the world.
Jaime Schiller
With fingers weary and worn, / With eyelids heavy and red, / A woman sat in unwomanly rags, / Plying her needle and thread - / Stitch! stitch! stitch!
Thomas Hood
The radical of one century is the conservative of the next. The radical invents the views. When he has worn them out the conservative adopts them.
Mark Twain
The collections have been very sober, because we return into a minimalism. We've seen a lot of British inspiration. We've seen a lot of the return of the 80s -- skinny pants or leggings or foot-less tights, worn under blazers or big baggy knitwear.
Glenda Bailey
Were more worn out than they ever had been at training camp for football.
Denny Brauer
If I was in charge of the money to build sidewalks in Great Falls, I'd build them where I see paths worn in the weeds. That's where people obviously are already walking and riding their bikes.
Annie Taylor
Out of all the T-shirts that are worn to school every day, a student cannot express pride in his Southern heritage at William Blount High School.
Kirk Lyons
That last hill was the hardest hill to climb and I think we might have worn out with only seven guys at the moment. We have a reputation as a run and gun team. But the seven guys have been working very hard on being patient and it paid off.
Neil Hogan
I'm worn out and my body hurts. I've never experienced in my life trying not to fall asleep in a race car. That was interesting. It was fantastic, though. Thanks to Mike Shank and the whole team at Mike Shank Racing, especially Mark Patterson for allowing myself and Justin this opportunity to get in such a great car and to Oswaldo for teaching us so much right away so we could get right after it.
A.j. Allmendinger
She was in here by herself, and I'd bring her meals and then go home. I'd just be worn down to nothing. Eventually, I decided it would be better to just be with her.
Appeal Tony
I recently went mad and spent - 1,000 in one afternoon on bras and knickers. I love classy, lacy stuff that makes you feel dead sexy knowing you've got it on. I've never worn stockings and suspenders, though. But I could imagine they'd make you feel really sexy worn under something formal. I think I'll save that experience and wear them under my wedding dress.
Jennifer Ellison
(Villegas) has a passion for the game that comes from living it. She does not get enough of it. You have to tell her to stop just for her to rest or she will be worn out. If she could play 24/7, she would.
Jeff Barker
I thought my kids played hard. We just got worn down at the end. If you look at their offensive and defensive lines, we were undersized.
David Thompson
ROPE, n. An obsolescent appliance for reminding assassins that they too are mortal. It is put about the neck and remains in place one's whole life long. It has been largely superseded by a more complex electrical device worn upon another part of the person; and this is rapidly giving place to an apparatus known as the preachment.
Ambrose Bierce
I think we were just physically getting worn out. They gave it everything they had all night long.
Tony Pasanen
We've done a good job taking it one game at a time. My mentality has worn off on the kids. If you overlook anybody it will hurt you.
Justin Abnee
It will never be worn again. It will go with us to every game, as long as I'm coach.
Dan Cooper
We've worn teams down with our speed and our defense all year. It's pretty hard for anyone to keep up with us.
Kachine Alexander
It's the second season, so the glamour and novelty has worn off.
Bob Gordon
I must wonder how in this day and age, the company's board of directors has not held you (Robinson) and Paul Maier responsible for your respective failures and shown you both the door long ago – accompanied by a well worn boot planted in the backside.
Daniel Loeb
Don't take that last run if you're feeling worn out. Leave it at that. A lot of injuries happen because people become fatigued and lose that mental and physical presence.
Stacy Gardner
They look so very worn-in.
John Bartlett
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 is unfortunate that this need for additional sacrifices comes at the time when the credibility of the country's political leadership is at its lowest ebb. I am afraid President Arroyo will find extreme difficulty in her efforts to convince the people to make further sacrifices given her already worn-out credibility and popularity.
Franklin Drilon
You don't want guys getting worn out while the rest of your bench is getting stale, which is what usually happens in a penalty-filled game. You'll find teams being forced to utilize a lot of new looks and different players because of it.
Craig Simpson
We actually played really bad the last two games and I can't complain about that. We're all still in shock about what happened and we squeaked out a win Thursday. I think we're all a little worn down because of the whole experience. We still send out our prayers to the family and they were here with us in our hearts tonight.
Joe Maeser
I am honored to be here today at Princeton. From George Kennan and John Foster Dulles, to George Shultz and James Baker, and of course, Woodrow Wilson, many renowned American statesmen have worn the Orange and Black.
Anne marie Slaughter
Usually as patients get to be about 45 years old, even if they've never worn glasses their whole life, they start having trouble with reading.
Barrie Soloway
One month does not make a trend. The pace has been so strong the last couple of years that they've outstripped physical production and worn out physical resources. There may be a desire to extend the market by constraining it now.
Jay Butler
Being a wrestling coach is the hardest job I've ever done. It's harder than teaching, harder than going to Stanford, it's mentally and physically draining and after five years I was worn out. That tells a big tale about how much energy and passion a coach like Bert has. He did it for 25 years.
Ron Perry
The girls were dead-dog excited. We're a little bit worn out but excited, too. We've been close in the past, but now we have a chance to win the state championship.
Dave Forster
Between saying and doing many a pair of shoes is worn out.
Italian Proverb
DuPont is proud of the role we have played in protecting law enforcement officers over the past three decades. We continue to work on developing new technology to make vests lighter, stronger, more durable, and ultimately, more likely to be worn by law enforcement officers, like Officer Grogan.
Bill Harvey
The waist thing has been brewing for some time, but it now chimes with our interest in a 50s silhouette, and the Victorian one. Ideas always take time to hit the street, though. Some looks are proposed but not accepted ... It was the same with flapper dresses, maxi coats. Remember that no woman under 45 has ever worn anything like this.
Sarah Mower
These uniforms are worn out. It's not a luxury item by any means. The other ones are shredded. They are falling apart.
Lisa Wolowicz
Troy went past me but he went too deep...I just kept my line and ended up back in front. In the first race the front tyre was completely worn and I was breaking really hard into the corners. We made some changes for the second race. The team really understands me and the kind of rider I am.
Troy Corser
MOUSQUETAIRE, n. A long glove covering a part of the arm. Worn in New Jersey. But 'mousquetaire' is a might poor way to spell muskeeter.
Ambrose Bierce
I'm sure she got 200 to 300 pairs a day, but someone brought mine to her. She took them with her to her farm in Indiana for a three-day weekend. She called me the following Tuesday and said she'd worn them the entire weekend.
Karen Neuburger
If you do nothing to this building, at least we need to renovate it. The building has shown signs of age and it's worn.
John Missell
They were worn and frayed. Parts of the hats were coming apart. It's just the wear and tear of having uniforms for eight-years.
Bill Harden
A tough bird. Hopefully it will be worn by tougher and faster and meaner players.
Bill Bidwill
It was age, and he was just worn out, really.
Judy Derby
Fleury has now worn the goalie cam more than anyone else in the league.
Jeff Silverman
He also just got his new shoes he's been asking for. This is the first meet he's worn actual triple jumpers' shoes.
Terry Yeast
It's kind of been like that through the whole season. We've had that effect on teams. They were just worn out.
Leslie Hardesty
Frost and smoke. A white shirt of stars burns your worn-out shoulders, and God's vultures tear at your metallic heart.
Georg Trakl
It seems like everyone is showing a pretty spring coat. Ideally, they're in a beautiful print. I think women will love that and some of the coats are so light they still can be worn when it's warmer.
Constance White
It's not a branded collection, but more like a blank palette, ... Each piece is reversible and can be worn in dozens of ways with diamonds and a clutch or sneakers and a t-shirt. The fun will be seeing how people put these pieces together and mix in their personal style - this is why I chose to work in heather grey.
Norma Kamali
People end up drinking their own septic, ... Our patience is worn out. Enough is enough.
Jeff Tittel
If this game is anything like the first two, both of our benches will be completely worn out. We have a tremendous amount of respect for RBC and what Coach Montano has been able to accomplish there. Both times we played them, the game could have gone to RBC, but we made some big shots in big spots.
George Sourlis
So many companies make jeans that are supposed to be worn with heels.
Chelsey Lentini
That's a big problem. A lot of teams have worn us down with their size -- Nevada, Hawaii.
George Nessman
Track is a sport where your body will get a little worn. But I played sports all year round and we had good coaches and training.
Rudy Morrow
It's hard for them. I had one client who had never worn jeans, even in casual settings. I had to tell him he dressed like his dad. That kind of sobered him up.
Claire Wexler
I've never worn stockings and suspenders though. I'll save that experience and wear them under my wedding dress.
Jennifer Ellison
The shock hasn't worn off. Why did this happen?
Sarah Smiarowski
ARMOR, n. The kind of clothing worn by a man whose tailor is a blacksmith.
Ambrose Bierce
We've got the deepest bench in the state. Even with a few of our key players hurt, we've still got seven or eight guys deep. We work the 3/4-court man (defense) the whole time and by the end of the game they were worn out.
Chase Cofer
Even kids that look very thin are not fit. When they do have a little physical exercise, they're worn out. The most exercise they get is walking from class to class.
Charles Peacock
Over 400 players have worn the Bulldog uniform since 1930 and these 15 distinguished individuals represent the best in UMD basketball. The impact they've had on our program is immeasurable.
Gary Holquist
Our defense was just on the field too long. After a while, you can get worn down, and maybe we did. We have got to get better on the defensive front so people can't pound the ball down our throats.
Bobby Humphries
The brightest crowns that are worn in heaven have been tried, and smelted, and polished, and glorified through the furnace of tribulation.
Edward Chapin
Affluence was, quite simply, a question of texture ... The threadbare carpets of infancy, the coconut matting, the ill-laid linoleum, the utility furniture ... had all spoken of a life too near the bones of subsistence, too little padded, too severely worn.
Margaret Drabble
He was just a worn-out guy.
Caspar W. Weinberger
I think the one major problem with the 'Victoria's Secret Fashion Show' is that the novelty has worn off. It's not that dramatic anymore.
John Higgins
The ring so worn, as you behold, / So thin, so pale, is yet of gold.
George Crabbe
We decided to straighten out that right hand after the second round and it proved to be a good move. Carina landed several solid right hands in the third and fourth rounds and we really felt like we were ahead. Unfortunately we were on the wrong side of what I think was a bad call. We just didn't get in enough rounds. I know we would've worn her out.
Rick Noble
I am worn to a raveling.
Beatrix Potter
Anti-Semitic? What is anti-Semitic about it? When I say that a uniform should be worn to the right places and not to the wrong ones, there is nothing anti-Semitic about it, there is no logic to this claim. I just thought that in this place, discussing a book written together with a Palestinian, it shows lack of sensitivity.
Daniel Barenboim
If the individual, or heretic, gets hold of some essential truth, or sees some error in the system being practiced, he commits so many marginal errors himself that he is worn out before he can establish his point.
Ezra Pound
[So when you're watching the Video Music Awards on August 28, don't be surprised if a few of the winners give a shout-out to the blue-eyed, weather-worn actor buried deep somewhere in the audience. And don't be surprised either if a knowing smile forms in the corners of your parents' mouths as they catch a glimpse of the screen.] It's always nice to have your name mentioned at awards ceremonies, .
Eric Roberts
I've never really worn this out much. I did do a favor for a friend once and wore it to his 5-year-old's birthday party. One kid came up to me and tugged on the robe and asked if I was a real Jedi. It was cute.
Eric Kohen
We definitely came out fired up, but I think we kind of got worn down from their size as the game went on.
Eric Balinbin
Right now we're very tired. We're worn out physically and mentally.
Enrique Chinea
It was from his past -- the drinking and the drug use, ... They found signs of heart disease. [The medical examiner] said that the blood vessels were very worn and narrow, and that just showed all the abuse from the scheduling of work and his past.
