At night always carry in your heart something from Holy Scriptures to bed with you, meditate upon it like a ruminant animal, and go softly to sleep; but this must not be too much, rather a little that may be well pondered and understood, that you may find a remnant of it in your mind when you rise in the morning.

I hadn't been to Berlin in 3 or 4 years either, but we still ran third over there, so I'm not too concerned about Salem.

Einstein explained his theory to me every day, and on my arrival I was fully convinced that he understood it.

That's nonsense, and it's not fair to Coach and not fair to Jason. Jason never complained about anything. Never.

Marc Touati

The industry is beginning to acknowledge that there are different parts of governance that need to be understood and runtime is as important as design time.

Dick Whittington

A tax system is best if it can be kept as simple as it needs to be to satisfy all its various purposes.

Brian Young

The warning message we sent the Russians was a calculated ambiguity that would be clearly understood.

Kyle Coston

I've understood the desire for a sequel, because I hear it all the time from my family and everyone I run into at a Starbucks.

I believe that President Clinton considered the legal merits of the arguments for the pardon as he understood them, and he rendered his judgment, wise or unwise, on the merits.

John Podesta

[Charles provides] everything you'd want from a family, to feel respected and understood and trusted. There's a real, real close bond, very tight-knit, very special. If you didn't go to Portland, you'd never understand it.

Tiffeny Milbrett

They really have understood all of the concepts we've gone through and even though there might be bad days and they can't do everything, they really know what to do.

Tammy Baker

Jill did the same thing, but because she wasn't in the spotlight, reporters didn't spotlight that. I don't think the media really understood how it works. That's the reason why it seemed like it was so harsh. Jean really did get a bad rap the last time around.

Johnny Flowers

Scooter said to her, 'Judy, Joe Tate talked to Floyd Abrams more than a year ago and said it's voluntary. Joe assured me you understood,' ... 'But we want you to know the waiver was voluntary.'

Joe Tate

To be tested in a game-situation like this in front of 1,500 fans and their great student body, we hadn't seen anything like that. Sure, we needed it. Our players understood when you're under the gun, you have to find an extra gear and dig down and concentrate a little bit harder and we did that in the second half.

Chris Raso

After the Olympics, it was great. The first couple of days she was really tired. I don't think she fully understood what really happened. After she went to Japan, she was so happy. It was just great. You win the Olympics, it's just great.

Nikolai Morozov

They suddenly understood that the dream of a 'whole Israel' is a dream that we paid a very high price for and ... has no chance (of being implemented).

Jeremy Rowell

In science one tries to tell people, in such a way as to be understood by everyone, something that no one ever knew before. But in poetry, it's the exact opposite.

Paul Dirac

She wanted to go to college. She understood what she wanted to do and understood what it took to play at the next level, and was willing to put in the time to be that good.

Scott Cromwell

We're faster at quarterback right now. Any of the three guys we have vying for that position are faster. We don't throw it as well. Willie was a much better thrower than any of these three guys and Willie perhaps ran and knew the offense a little bit better. One thing that Willie was, he was really sharp. He understood what we were trying to get done and did a great job with it.

Kelly Kane

If people had read both forms, they would have understood they clearly said they can't be combined with both offers. We're not in the business of giving away products for free.

Charles Hodges

It's like anyone, ... If you have a death in the family or the kids are sick or whatever, you're going to be a little down, you're not going to seem like your old self. Once we all found out what it was, we kind of understood and said, 'Hey, let's just focus in and do our jobs and try to take some of the pressure off.' .

La'roi Glover

My parents really liked David and the kids, but they didn't like Posh. And when they met her family, they understood why.

Andy Warhol understood early on that death and fame are the subjects that attract the most people. There is this tension in the exhibit that gives it a great strength. Warhol is someone who found an aesthetic in violence, but he also found real beauty in the shallowness of celebrity.

No one can develop freely in this world and find a full life without feeling understood by at least one person.

He understood, and he was cooperative.

The 1994 season at Penn State was just a fabulous experience, ... We knew we had outstanding talent, but we also had a bunch of guys who were very focused, knew what they wanted and understood what it would take to get the job done and we went out and did it against some outstanding teams. When you see a bunch of young men coming together like that for a common goal, it is very satisfying.

Kyle Brady

People who really understood the use of space and the fact that the sound and the silence are of equal weight and that what you're doing is really manipulating space. It's the same as a painting except that you're doing it aurally.

David Sanborn

It felt like such a right idea that it didn't bother me to put it away, because I knew it would be ready when it's ready, ... When I had kids, I realized I understood my parents better. I had more compassion for them and I look at my kids and realize, 'Oh, man. This is just the same cycle all over again.'

Paul Reiser

I let him know exactly how it was. I told him it was all on his shoulders and he was going to have to be the one to step up and win the match for the team. He had the whole weight of the world on his shoulders, but he understood what he had to do and he executed.

Nathan Vader

Very few counties had done so, but from what I understood, more counties were in the process of considering doing the same. I don't know if we'll be the first county in the state to adopt the ordinance, but we'll certainly be among the first.

Dale Williams

I was very disappointed in their effort in that quarter. I'm not the sort of coach that likes to rant and rave but the players would have definitely understood my message in the change rooms after the game - it was unacceptable.

Phil Smyth

He took it okay. I'm sure it's frustrating for anyone to be told you may not be the best match. But he understood.

Patrick Simon

I think the point to be understood is that we're all different. I've never been a fan of theories of acting. I didn't go to drama school, so I was never put through a training that was limited by someone saying, 'This is the way you should act.'

Ian McKellen

For a long while, people didn't give scholarships for special teams. But now, it's understood. You're not looking for a walk-on. You're looking for a guy because he is a weapon.

Joe Taylor

We've had that problem before -- there was a cluster of deaths in Ormond back in 1998. We never really understood what was going on.

Stephen Kintner

It has only been in the last 10 years that this fault's significance has been understood. For the most part, Oregonians believe that Oregon doesn't have the kind of earthquake history that California or even Washington has.

Jay Wilson

I loved how intuitive he was about the game. He really understood the flow of the game.

Mike Frogley

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood.

Marie Curie

I was doing quite a nervous poodle dance over it, ... I've seen coyotes play in it, rabbits go dashing across it and a whole family of moose. This is really an important piece of land. A lot of people got it, they understood that.

Heather Ross

People have tremendous power, more than the average person understands, and certainly more than even I understood before I came to Congress. When any of my constituents writes me a letter, I promise you, we're listening.

Charlie Norwood

Cassie always had a unique ability to do more than what's on the page. In monologues and scene work in acting class, she instinctively understood that she had to do more and she was always fearless in doing so. She has a really active imagination and a wonderful sense of humor.

Tony Marino

It is by universal misunderstanding that all agree. For if, by ill luck, people understood each other, they would never agree.

I have never understood jihad to mean anti-Americanism or terrorism.

John Walker Lindh

We were very pleased with the jury's verdict and after talking to the jury we were even more pleased, ... Clearly they understood the statements we were challenging were false.

Andrew White

We were chipping away inning by inning. The girls have been in that situation before, we beat Coleman in our last at-bat, so they understood what it was going to take. They gave it the best shot they could. They've never given up at any time this season and they've always given me 110 percent.

Bryan Waller

People understood Clinton's message but they are exhausted and can't stand the rain any more -- it goes into the tents. Only families that don't have money to pay for the bus ride will stay.

Mustapha Ibrahim

We greatly thank the fairgrounds for the use of the space. We understood from the get go there was a time frame.

Karen Dashfield

Let it be understood, in the first place, that a science fiction story must be an exposition of a scientific theme and it must be also a story.

Hugo Gernsback

Making music to me is so much more important than being a star. If I could choose whether to be very famous right now or respected and understood a hundred years after I die, I'd choose the second option.

Christine Anderson

He's wrestled in those situations so many times in tournaments, and that's something not a lot of parents or coaches understood when they watched him. He's experienced those big-type atmospheres.

Duane Blackburn

With so many things still to be explored with the causes of this most recent riot not fully understood, it seems to be a little premature to be thinking about extreme measures to control it.

Patrick Dean

Aleksander Kaasniewski

My presumption is that that is not well understood by the consumer.

Peter Winkler

It's purely conjecture. Most people who moved out here already understood they'd have to drive a minimum of 6 miles to get to any gas station or store.

Penny Riccio

A specification that will not fit on one page of 8.5x11 inch paper cannot be understood.

Mark Ardis

Richard Cizik

It was a pleasure. He was a great trial judge. He understood the rules of evidence and making the tough calls in a case.

Paul Marigonda

Frigidity is largely nonsense. It is this generation's catchword, one only vaguely understood and constantly misused. Frigid women are few. There is a host of diffident and slow-ripening ones.

Phyllis Mcginley

A battle lost or won is easily described, understood, and appreciated, but the moral growth of a great nation requires reflection, as well as observation, to appreciate it.

Frederick Douglass

But prudence can also be understood as the difference between good and bad. I know the road we've taken is the good and prudent one.

Alejandro Toledo

Mortifying the deeds of the body cannot be understood of the religious deeds of the body, for they are to be cherished, nor of the natural deeds of the body such as eating and drinking; but it refers to the sinful actions that are done by the body arising from the temptations and injections of Satan or the corrupt dictates of our own sinful heart.

Christopher Love

It's always been understood that the ore body has more potential.

Richard Yeeles

[Developers] understand that incorporating . . . public art is an asset for their development. So in many places, this is not seen as a burden, but understood as something that adds value.

Ricardo Barreto

Dick understood economic trends, and he understood what the paper needed to do to stay on top. He also made sure you understood what needed to be done. But it wasn't hard to comply with Dick's wishes. He led by example.

Jack Sweeney

'I can't believe this is up here. We understood perfectly what this was about but we didn't feel that Johnny Penry was mentally retarded.'

David Weeks

Dave Steer

Science, properly understood, should merely be defined as the knowledge man can gain from observing the natural world.

Dave Freer

While it is understood that there was substantial provocation from a section of the Perth crowd, there is a standard required and a player needs to keep his emotions under some control.

Jeff Crowe

Basically, there is no change when it applies to companies that are already operating successfully in Venezuela, like ourselves. It must be understood that the subsoil resources do belong to the Venezuelan people and that any arrangement to explore and exploit for mineral resources is conditioned on that fact.

Bob Doyle

We spent the first few rehearsals talking through the show, making sure everyone understood all the 1920s and '30s references. We also spent quite a lot of time working through all the gags and jokes in the script, making sure everyone understood them and could deliver them properly.

John Barthelmes

They knew people so well. They communicated so well. They understood politics, especially patronage politics.

It's just understood what we were talking about.

Naseem Khan

We have a long-standing policy that the assignments to war zones or other dangerous places are completely voluntary. And that is understood by everyone who works here.

Melindo Persi

We're all pretty close friends, a tight little bunch. If we had to go up there, we wouldn't mind. We would make that the meeting place. It was understood that Lorenzo had to take care of his responsibilities.

David Gonzales

Thankfully, the court understood the immediacy of this situation and temporarily stopped this law from taking effect.

Gloria Feldt

I really didn't expect much of a fan base but they surprised me. They built a new 300-million dollar stadium. There were about 40,000 fans. There was a big social scene. You just had to get used to the language, although a lot of the kids had been taught English or at least made themselves understood. It wasn't too different once you got settled in.

Clarence Curry

I don't even think about it. We always had a good relationship. If we would have had a fight or something, I would have understood. But I never had a problem with Glenn, ever.

Gene Keady

It isn't understood how that is happening.

Alfred Mcewen

The most important thing is that it's understood that the judge did state clearly that the current DPR regulation is a safe standard. This (lawsuit) is not an issue regarding safety. This is a technical issue.

Teresa Thorne

Speak properly, and in as few words as you can, but always plainly; for the end of speech is not ostentation, but to be understood.

William Penn

When we speak the word ''life',' it must be understood we are not referring to life as we know it from its surface of fact, but to that fragile, fluctuating center which forms never reach.

Antonin Artaud

[Former Chief Justice Earl] Warren understood the impact of separate but equal on generations of both white and black children. That's what a chief justice does, ... Roberts has given nothing but bloodless answers.

Ted Kennedy

Malloway's statements were made in the context of formal police interviews. She understood she had an obligation to be truthful. The fact she was willing to take a polygraph test supports her reliability.

Peter Wilson

The interaction of these drugs is not clearly understood.

Shiv Kapoor

We, as a species, never understood how we have changed [the environment].

Maya Lin

If evil is being acted upon in the world, everybody has an obligation, especially if only you had the power. Only we understood the technology. Only we could defeat this guy.

Robert Shillman

Life is a roller coaster, ... There are ups, there are downs, there are hills, there are valleys, peaks and so on.
