Clifford Stoll
Face reality as it is, not as it was or as you wish it to be.
Jack Welch
I sense an insatiable demand for connectivity. Maybe all these people have discovered important uses for the Internet. Perhaps some of them feel hungry for a community that our real neighborhoods don't deliver. At least a few must wonder what the big deal is.

Sarah Ban Breathnach
A dream doesn't become reality through magic; it takes sweat, determination and hard work.
Colin Powell
Projections are bullshit. They're just guesses. Wait until the real thing happens and then when it happens, then you can make the decision.

Jason Fried

Charles W. Chesnutt
The Revolution was effected before the War commenced. The Revolution was in the minds and hearts of the people; a change in their religious sentiments of their duties and obligations.

Whenever you find a man who says he doesn't believe in a real Right and Wrong, you will find the same man going back on this a moment later.
C. S. Lewis
Five senses; an incurably abstract intellect; a haphazardly selective memory; a set of preconceptions and assumptions so numerous that I can never examine more than minority of them - never become conscious of them all. How much of total reality can such an apparatus let through?
C. S. Lewis
Strip away the phony tinsel of Hollywood and you find the real tinsel underneath.
Oscar Levant
Behind the phony tinsel of Hollywood lies the real tinsel.
Oscar Levant

He's a real good guy. He really is. He has an illness and he's just gotten some tough breaks, it seems like.
Doug Jolley
Mr. Koizumi remains willing to pursue structural reforms, so long as the economy permits. He's not going to abandon reforms. However, realistically it's also difficult to assume very quick progress.
Tomoko Fujii
We're hoping she can get back for state. She hasn't been in the water for a couple of weeks and that's going to be real hard to come back from.
Ray Davidson
We looked into what do you do to make a real luxury community. What are those buyers looking for? This is a trend we spotted a couple of years ago.
Sondra Guffey
We had a good meeting this morning and tried to clear up some of the problems we had with A&M. It was a real good team that we had beat in the final, so that's a great result for us.
Rich Brands
The 2-year-old market is now a force. I am real confident going in that we have a good group of horses to continue that trend.
Tom Ventura
But my dear man, reality is only a Rorschach ink-blot, you know.
Alan Watts
There is no real teacher who in practice does not believe in the existence of the soul, or in a magic that acts on it through speech.
Allan Bloom
We don't have any desire that she be put to death. That wasn't the real Dena Schlosser that did what she did that day. Putting her to death won't solve any of the issues of that day ... probably harm them [their daughters] more than anything else.
Howard Shapiro
There is only one real deprivation... and that is not to be able to give one's gifts to those one loves most.
Mary Sarton
We've produced CDs of our own over the years. But this is a real record contract. Collectables is taking the risk.
George Carlin
For two hours the country held its breath. The anxiety was real, both for the health of Sharon the man and for the competence of Sharon the prime minister.

Bonnie Blair
We real took control of the game at that point.
Andy D'alessio
As far as the laws of mathematics refer to reality, they are not certain, and as far as they are certain, they do not refer to reality.
Albert Einstein
We're doing a lot better than last year. It's real tough competition.
Ryan Lucas
The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing. One cannot help but be in awe when he contemplates the mysteries of eternity, of life, of the marvelous structure of reality. It is enough if one tries merely to comprehend a little of this mystery every day. Never lose a holy curiosity.
Albert Einstein
He was a real strong player, just probably needed a little more time to develop. He definitely was going to be a good player one day.
Stephen Peterman
The only real valuable thing is intuition.
Albert Einstein
Monique handles responsibility well. She can narrow her focus without any difficulty, and her work ethic is always the same. She's a real gamer who has a history of coming through in the clutch.
Coach Venus Taylor
The real challenge is to make sure that these provisions will be applied and enforced worldwide, just like the international provisions designed to secure safety at sea.
Juan Somavia
If we're such a great employer, why aren't we facing the reality of the hard questions and the poor ratings that come in some of the employee surveys? We make a sport, it seems, of paying consultants a lot of money, bringing them in, baiting them, laughing at them and then kicking them out.
Daniel Mudd
We're very disappointed the governor didn't sit down with locals and look at the real numbers.
Rick Simonson
Anyone can announce a plan, the real challenge is implementing it.
Taiji Yoshida
There is a healthful hardiness about real dignity that never dreads contact and communion with others, however humble.

Daniel Horowitz
Reality is whatever refuses to go away when I stop believing in it.
Philip K. Dick
College is the first time many kids have real control of their money. It's very hard to keep good track of your expenses when you're living alone for the first time.
Jacqueline King
This year, we knew that we could get in and we did. It feels real good.
Theo Sherman
I think the girls did well under the circumstances. The girls were glad to get out of school early, but they were real focused before the game, and they stepped it up.
Travis Jackson
Gingrich did a real nice job. We're getting some young people stepping up. That meant a lot.
Jeff Jodon
I didn't know it was the Boss' spot ... I moved my car real quick. They told me that I was parked in the Boss' spot. I just ran inside and got my keys and moved it.
Miguel Cairo
In dreams we see ourselves naked and acting our real characters, even more clearly than we see others awake.
Henry David Thoreau
When we are unhurried and wise, we perceive that only great and worthy things have any permanent and absolute existence, that petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of the reality.
Henry David Thoreau
I usually put the actors and the stuntmen in a real explosion, in real gunfire. They run scared, really scared.
John Wooden
Thus, in a real sense, I am constantly writing autobiography, but I have to turn it into fiction in order to give it credibility.
Katherine Paterson
Petty fears and petty pleasures are but the shadow of reality.
Henry David Thoreau
At this point, things couldn't be any better. But, in reality, you don't win pennants in January and February. Reality will set in in another week or two.
Gerry Hunsicker
It feels good. Everybody has been skating well, and I wasn't real sure what was going to happen.
Chris Witty
The film industry... is hopeful that these renewed Chinese promises will translate into real world reductions in the availability of pirated product.
Mike Ellis
We learned some real tough lessons. We lost four of those games in the last possession, including one to Baraboo when we had an 18-point lead going into the fourth quarter. The kids have really responded to that and it's coming to fruition right now.
Dennis Bradley
Till now, China hasn't grasped how powerful Congress can be and how it works. Persuading Bush isn't the real challenge.
Guan Anping
Education is key to not getting ripped off in the real estate process.
Rick Harper
Real love is the love that sometimes arises after sensual pleasure: if it does, it is immortal; the other kind inevitably goes stale, for it lies in mere fantasy.
Giacomo Casanova
[McAllister said he'd been unable to reach about 15 to 20 friends and family members in affected areas, including some cousins and his high school basketball coach.] He's a real good friend of mine, ... I don't know if he and his family got out.
Deuce Mcallister
Just real basic improvement on operations, I think will a major change in this company, ... With the last couple of quarters, not only were the results disappointing, but the visibility in to the future has been murky.
Robert Johnston
Traveling exhibits are a great option. The fact that museums only display a fraction of their collection is a real problem. What they should do is open up their collections for smaller museums to be able to have things on loan.
Dru Mcgill
I like playing somebody who has to apologize to their kid, all the time, for screwing up. That seems really real.
Julia Louis dreyfus
We have been throwing and catching real well. But we will do whatever it takes to win. You have to do both (run and pass) well to be balanced.
Bobby Crockett
The whole group didn't play real well, but I hung in there and made some good pars. I worked on straightening out my swing.
Jeff Allen
I'm real proud of my kids for their effort.
Noel Klippenstein
Our pressure didn't give them any easy looks. The girls worked hard. This is a real tough team ? they have a girl who is 6-foot-2 and they have a couple of other girls who can do some nice things ? so if you don't come in prepared they could surprise you.
Tom Roberge
So people just need to be real careful with anything hot.
Matthew Bennett
France's image is much worse than the reality. We have cut taxes and made reforms.
Clara Gaymard
He's very good at portraying the conventional wisdom: that as long as we balance the budget, everything's OK. The real [question] should be, what do we do to fix the size of government?
Dan Mitchell
I want the spectators to feel like they are in another dimension of reality. I don't want my audience to understand every detail.
Takeshi Kitano
I enter the world called real as one enters a mist.
Julian Green
There is no expedient to which a man will not resort to avoid the real labor of thinking.
Sir Joshua Reynolds
I was here the last time around with the Coliseum, so I'm not real optimistic about the Los Angeles Coliseum.
Pat Bowlen
Been going strong for four weeks now, and finally it is for real.
Tyler Greene
It's going to take an act of God to get this to happen. People have to agree this is a high priority, there has to be consensus from local leaders and residents, and we need to see some tremendous leadership from the MDOT (Michigan Department of Transportation), as well as perhaps some changes to the Michigan Constitution, to make this a reality.
Keith Schneider
It's real hard to come up with something unique. We've seen just about everything over the last 10 years.
Ricky Davis
They are real people who have real jobs, and who are concerned about the process.
Philip Coyle
You can only perceive real beauty in a person as they get older.
Anouk Aimee
You have to recognize the realities of the situation and try to create new alliances or scale down the ambitions. I think we see that happening a little bit with the Bush administration.
James Mcpherson
To be honest, I was surprised I could clear 6-4. I was just looking at this like another workout or practice. I wasn't real happy with the long jump mark but overall was pleased with everything else.
David Klech
Lew Feldman brings 24 years of proven success in debt, equity, real estate finance and real estate capital transactions, including many of the largest, most successful public-private partnership, mixed-use, affordable housing and infrastructure transactions in California, Arizona and Nevada.

Solar provides a renewable resource. I put some panels on my own house, and there is a real benefit.
Paul Kelley
It would have been nice to have finished higher, but we also had to be realistic once we saw the conditions on the opening morning.
Colin Mcrae
I'm a huge NASCAR fan, ... I loved performing at the NASCAR awards banquet last year and I can't wait to sing the national anthem in November at the championship race in Homestead. It's a real honor to partner with NASCAR in promoting the cup challenge.
Scott Stapp
I think there's probably a real good chance something will happen there. He did well there last year.
Barry Axelrod
I wasn't talked about in eighth or ninth grade as being one of the better players. Knowing where I came from - not being one of the best players - to being there with the best players in the country, yeah, I'm real proud of myself.
Danielle Wilson
Whatever you believe with feeling becomes your reality.
Brian Tracy
We are basically a senior-experienced team. I was real happy with the way the kids kept their composure in a tough road game.
Ken Fritchman
When there's no agenda and no real message what happens is you can't really have a message. You can put lipstick on a pig all you day long but it's still a pig, ... This Week.
John Boehner
Another real positive aspect of this, it's an incremental expenditure.
Stuart Purvis
I'd like to feel that everyone would recognize that Judas Priest was the first true heavy metal band. I think there is a special attachment to Judas Priest and metal. We were the first band to really go out and claim ourselves to be a real metal band.
Rob Halford
There is a lot of money going into home real estate, and home improvement runs in step with that.
Donald Trott
People are starting to wonder if this late-summer decline is for real.
Brian Williamson
Performance is your reality. Forget everything else.
Harold S. Geneen
He really gets himself up for big meets. He just stepped up real big. When he gets put in a pressure situation, he holds up real well.
Joe Kosman
I'm real proud of the way the girls have pulled together. They've handled the situation like mature adults, but that's not to say they aren't devastated by this.
Tessy Manuel
This is a real setback.
Silke Stegemann
Our lives are the only meaningful expression of what we believe and in Whom we believe. And the only real wealth, for any of us, lies in our faith.
Gordon B. Hinckley
I haven't seen (Ginn) run any real routes,'' said senior defensive back Cedric Griffin.
Santonio Holmes
Patriotism is often an arbitrary veneration of real estate above principles.
George Jean Nathan
We were able to work on both our strengths and weaknesses, and it's encouraging to see that. The reality is that we'll be playing some of the top competition in the nation at our next tournament (the Pacific-10 Conference championships), and we'll need to be as ready as we can.
Andrea Gaston
He created a fantasy world that invites readers to consider the moral and psychological realities of our world.
David Downing
It's the biggest game we've played this year. We're going to Greenbrier, where they've beaten Huntsville and Greenwood the last two games. They're playing real well. Confidence is a big thing for us right now.
Stan Flenor
I'm guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.
