228
Think about what people are doing on Facebook today. They’re keeping up with their friends and family, but they’re also building an image and identity for themselves, which in a sense is their brand.

I want minimum information given with maximum politeness.

406
I’ve learned over the years that people are human and have mood swings, regardless of how talented they are. Today, I’m looking at life from a realistic point of view instead of the way I would want things to be.
407
Those who want to reap the benefits of this great nation must bear the fatigue of supporting it.
408
I want to be the bridge to the next generation.
409
If your life were a book and you were the author, how would you want your story to go? That’s the question that changed my life forever.
410
Although I’m only fourteen, I know quite well what I want. I know who is right and who is wrong. I have my opinions, my own ideas and principles, and although it may sound pretty mad from an adolescent, I feel more of a person than a child. I feel quite independent of anyone.
411
When you come to see a picture of mine, I want you to know that I’m not going to do anything that will make you uncomfortable. I want you to know that you won’t be disappointed in me.
412
I have feelings too. I am still human. All I want is to be loved, for myself and for my talent.
413
I just want you to know that, when we talk about war, we’re really talking about peace.
414
If you want to be a great leader, remember to treat all people with respect at all times. For one, because you never know when you’ll need their help. And two, because it’s a sign you respect people, which all great leaders do.
415
I will continue to work hard until I get to where I want to be.
416
A man can do what he wants, but not want what he wants.
417
I think anybody who is interested in keeping their money safe from the criminal banking system would want gold, silver, and Bitcoin.
418
People say I’m extravagant because I want to be surrounded by beauty. But tell me, who wants to be surrounded by garbage?
419
I’ve got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.
420
If you want bigger arms, target the triceps, not the biceps.
421
I am a simple man who comes from a village, and villagers like us speak our mind. Now, in the process, if unknowingly my words came across as disrespectful or insulting, then I am deeply sorry. I don’t want to hurt anyone.
422
If you want to be the best, you’ve got to beat the best. The only problem is when I get that belt, who’s going to be left to fight? That’s what I want to know.
423
I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song, I want to go have sex. I’m very animalistic when it comes to stuff like that. Very basic emotions.
424
If you can dream it, then you can achieve it. You will get all you want in life if you help enough other people get what they want.
425
If there’s a book you really want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, then you must write it.
426
Growth is uncomfortable; you have to embrace the discomfort if you want to expand.
427
Anything that won’t sell, I don’t want to invent. Its sale is proof of utility, and utility is success.
428
I like feet. I definitely have a fetish. I love to see a man’s bare foot, but its got to be taken care of. If they’re not well manicured, you’ve got to wonder what the rest of him is like. I don’t want to get in bed with somebody and feel his gnarly feet.
429
No one wants to hear the truth if it isn’t what they want to hear.
430
My friends and family are my support system. They tell me what I need to hear, not what I want to hear and they are there for me in the good and bad times. Without them I have no idea where I would be and I know that their love for me is what’s keeping my head above the water.
431
Don’t let other people tell you what you want.
432
When you surround yourself with like-minded athletes who are all going through the same thing as you, it gives you more drive and strength to get through those moments when you don’t want to do it any more, when you think it’s hard.
433
I don’t want to be fake. I’m just being me. And I have the power to break stereotypes and whatever useless rules that society puts on us.
434
I want to thank God, obviously for the health, for the talent He’s given me, for my family who supports me, for the things that basketball’s taught me on and off the court. For the people that I’ve been able to meet through the game of basketball.
435
That is the key of this collection, being yourself. Don’t be into trends. Don’t make fashion own you, but you decide what you are, what you want to express by the way you dress and the way to live.
436
Love who you want to love. Life is short. Nobody’s going to hate you for it.
437
As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want.
438
It’s okay for me to make jokes about disabled people and people with horrible diseases because they make me uncomfortable, and I don’t want to be like them.
439
We all want to help one another. Human beings are like that. We want to live by each other’s happiness, not by each other’s misery.
440
No one is in control of your happiness but you; therefore, you have the power to change anything about yourself or your life that you want to change.
441
Of course, money matters to everyone even if some don’t want to admit it. If I won the Race to Dubai, I look at that prize money and think it could pay off my new house or the range I’m building. I am privileged to play golf for a living – look around St Andrews, that’s my office.
442
I do not want art for a few any more than education for a few, or freedom for a few.
443
I may not be where I want to be, but thank God I am not where I used to be.
444
What we think determines what happens to us, so if we want to change our lives, we need to stretch our minds.
445
I have a personal philosophy in life: If somebody else can do something that I’m doing, they should do it. And what I want to do is find things that would represent a unique contribution to the world – the contribution that only I, and my portfolio of talents, can make happen. Those are my priorities in life.
446
If liberty means anything at all, it means the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
447
If you want to go east, don’t go west.
448
What you have become is the price you paid to get what you used to want.
449
All I want is an education, and I am afraid of no one.
450
Life in general has never been even close to fair, so the pretense that the government can make it fair is a valuable and inexhaustible asset to politicians who want to expand government.
451
Well, I don’t know as I want a lawyer to tell me what I cannot do. I hire him to tell how to do what I want to do.
452
If you really want to make a friend, go to someone’s house and eat with him… the people who give you their food give you their heart.
453
People come and go in your life. It is up to you choose how you want to associate with that person. It is up to you to learn and imbibe things from such a person.
454
We have to fight climate change like we actually want to win.
455
When you know what you want, and want it bad enough, you will find a way to get it.
456
What do you want? What do you want your life to be? What do you want your testimony to be? Go for it!
457
I’ve always followed my heart and pursued my dreams, and I imagine that people find that inspiring. I hope that is the effect I have on my fans and people in general. I definitely want to project a positive energy out into the world.
458
If you want to change the culture, you will have to start by changing the organization.
459
Flattery and insults raise the same question: What do you want?
460
Women want mediocre men, and men are working to be as mediocre as possible.
461
There’s a saying. If you want someone to love you forever, buy a dog, feed it and keep it around.
462
I don’t want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
463
History will see advertising as one of the real evil things of our time. It is stimulating people constantly to want things, want this, want that.
464
I want to be a man who is truthful and who won’t let pride get in the way of my ripping myself open to my partner and saying, ‘Here I am. This is me.’ I feel there’s something powerful when a man reaches a point in his life when he can be completely vulnerable.
465
Exceed your customer’s expectations. If you do, they’ll come back over and over. Give them what they want – and a little more.
466
You can never get enough of what you don’t want.
467
You will find men who want to be carried on the shoulders of others, who think that the world owes them a living. They don’t seem to see that we must all lift together and pull together.
468
If you want total security, go to prison. There you’re fed, clothed, given medical care and so on. The only thing lacking… is freedom.
469
I’m the one that has to die when it’s time for me to die, so let me live my life, the way I want to.
470
In a free society, government reflects the soul of its people. If people want change at the top, they will have to live in different ways. Our major social problems are not the cause of our decadence. They are a reflection of it.
471
I don’t understand why people would want to get rid of pigeons. They don’t bother no one.
472
I never said, ‘I want to be alone.’ I only said, ‘I want to be left alone.’ There is all the difference.
473
As an actor, every opportunity, every role, everything that I do is an opportunity to have someone have a human experience with my work. I don’t just want it to be about a cute wardrobe and a high paycheck.
474
If you limit your choices only to what seems possible or reasonable, you disconnect yourself from what you truly want, and all that is left is compromise.
475
If you want to become a great chef, you have to work with great chefs. And that’s exactly what I did.
476
Do something because you really want to do it. If you’re doing it just for the goal and don’t enjoy the path, then I think you’re cheating yourself.
477
If you want to do something, just do it. No one is going to do it for you.
478
Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time; what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.
479
You can live to be a hundred if you give up all the things that make you want to live to be a hundred.
480
If there is a book that you want to read, but it hasn’t been written yet, you must be the one to write it.
481
I want to live my life, not record it.
482
To accuse others for one’s own misfortunes is a sign of want of education. To accuse oneself shows that one’s education has begun. To accuse neither oneself nor others shows that one’s education is complete.
483
I want to rip out his heart and feed it to Lennox Lewis. I want to kill people. I want to rip their stomachs out and eat their children.
484
Right now I just want to chill for a while. Take a hiatus from all the craziness. To clean my house, see my family. Just see some movies and pick some strawberries.
485
You always do what you want to do. This is true with every act. You may say that you had to do something, or that you were forced to, but actually, whatever you do, you do by choice. Only you have the power to choose for yourself.
486
Freedom is the right to tell people what they do not want to hear.
487
I always want to say to people who want to be rich and famous: ‘try being rich first’. See if that doesn’t cover most of it. There’s not much downside to being rich, other than paying taxes and having your relatives ask you for money. But when you become famous, you end up with a 24-hour job.
488
The people who are bullying you, they’re insecure about who they are, and that’s why they’re bullying you. It never has to do with the person they’re bullying. They desperately want to be loved and be accepted, and they go out of their way to make people feel unaccepted so that they’re not alone.
489
People don’t want to go to the dump and have a picnic, they want to go out to a beautiful place and enjoy their day. And so I think our job is to try to take the environment, take what the good Lord has given us, and expand upon it or enhance it, without destroying it.
490
I just want people to know me and to love me, because I have no love.
491
I’ve been told that having an Instagram account will help me book more roles, get more endorsement deals. It makes you more of a brand. But I’m not interested. I want to build my fan base through movies and movies alone.
492
The important thing is that your teammates have to know you’re pulling for them and you really want them to be successful.
493
Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience?
494
If you want special results, you have to feel special things and do special things together. You can speak about spirit, or you can live it.
495
I don’t want to advise anyone to do anything, apart from try and stay alive. That’s my advice – don’t die.
496
We hire people who want to make the best things in the world.
497
You don’t write because you want to say something, you write because you have something to say.
498
Inaction breeds doubt and fear. Action breeds confidence and courage. If you want to conquer fear, do not sit home and think about it. Go out and get busy.
499
I don’t want other people to decide who I am. I want to decide that for myself.
500
Our decisions about transportation determine much more than where roads or bridges or tunnels or rail lines will be built. They determine the connections and barriers that people will encounter in their daily lives – and thus how hard or easy it will be for people to get where they need and want to go.
501
Stopping illegal immigration would mean that wages would have to rise to a level where Americans would want the jobs currently taken by illegal aliens.
502
If anyone is crazy enough to want to kill a president of the United States, he can do it. All he must be prepared to do is give his life for the president’s.
503
Darling, I want my gay rights now.
504
I post pictures that I want to post and say what I want to say. If that’s three times a day or three times per month, then whatever.
505
I want to die with my blue jeans on.
506
If you want creativity, take a zero off your budget. If you want sustainability, take off two zeros.
507
You can win all the tournaments you want, but the majors are what you’re remembered for. It’s how you’re measured as a champion in our sport. The majors are where it’s at.
508
Fighting means you could lose. Bullying means you can’t. A bully wants to beat somebody; he doesn’t want to fight somebody.
509
You only have one go at life, which is thrilling. Only you can make yourself into who you want to be. Don’t blame anybody else. You are entitled to free fresh air, and that’s it. Do the rest yourself.
510
Frankly, I had thought that at the time Roe was decided, there was concern about population growth and particularly growth in populations that we don’t want to have too many of.
511
Everything you want to accomplish is already within yourself so when you start to roll in self-doubt and think negative thoughts then you’ll fall off. So keep visualising and keep knowing what you’re destined for, it’ll come to you.
512
I want to make paintings that look as if they were made by a child.
513
No rational argument will have a rational effect on a man who does not want to adopt a rational attitude.
514
Keep going. Grind for what you want. Pray. Listen to your mama.
515
I will not be concerned at other men’s not knowing me; I will be concerned at my own want of ability.
516
Nations consist of people. And with their effort, a nation can accomplish all it could ever want.
517
Whether it is a tsunami, or whether it is a hurricane, whether it’s an earthquake – when we see these great fatal and natural acts, men and women of every ethnic persuasion come together and they just want to help.
518
It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.
519
If you want to get laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.
520
If you want a thing done well, do it yourself.
521
Be careful not to compromise what you want most for what you want now.
522
What can cake teach you about life? That practice makes perfect, and if you try something once, it probably won’t be perfect, and you have to keep working on it if you want to be good at it.
523
We all want progress, but if you’re on the wrong road, progress means doing an about-turn and walking back to the right road; in that case, the man who turns back soonest is the most progressive.
524
Success is a state of mind. If you want success, start thinking of yourself as a success.
525
The first lesson of economics is scarcity: there is never enough of anything to fully satisfy all those who want it. The first lesson of politics is to disregard the first lesson of economics.
526
The easiest thing to be in the world is you. The most difficult thing to be is what other people want you to be. Don’t let them put you in that position.
527
I just don’t want to die without a few scars.
528
When I was a child, there’s one thing I said: ‘I never want to be alone.’ That’s what I would say. I don’t want to be alone.
529
I have a very strict gun control policy: if there’s a gun around, I want to be in control of it.
530
Musicians want to be the loud voice for so many quiet hearts.
531
Some folk want their luck buttered.
532
There are always flowers for those who want to see them.
533
I’m not possessive, I’m caring… Once you realize a person doesn’t want that much care, you automatically back off.
534
I always believe that if you have a good heart, you just want to do what’s right. You don’t want to step on anyone.
535
At home I am a nice guy: but I don’t want the world to know. Humble people, I’ve found, don’t get very far.
536
I don’t want to forgive myself. That’s why I hate psychoanalysis I think if you’re guilty of something you should live with it. Get rid of it – how can you get rid of a real guilt? I think people should live with it, face up to it.
537
Don’t matter if you’re rich, poor or whatever, you just want to be able to have your own experiences in life and listen and learn from other people.
538
Yes, it’s a man’s world, but that’s all right because they’re making a total mess of it. We’re chipping away at their control, taking the parts we want. Some women think it’s a difficult task, but it’s not.
539
I’m not a politician. I don’t want to be a politician, because politicians do what is politically expedient. I want to do what’s right.
540
A good band is like a team. You want to have the right balance. It’s not always the best people you need, but the right ones for the job.
541
I don’t want to get to the end of my life and find that I lived just the length of it. I want to have lived the width of it as well.
542
We do not want riches, we want peace and love.
543
If you want to see the sunshine, you have to weather the storm.
544
You control your future, your destiny. What you think about comes about. By recording your dreams and goals on paper, you set in motion the process of becoming the person you most want to be. Put your future in good hands – your own.
545
If I get married, I want to be very married.
546
If you are a skinny, baby-faced teenager, the last thing you want to hear is that you’re cute.
547
If you do things to the limit, and don’t purposely go over that limit, then I think it’s fine to do whatever you want. So long as you enjoy it. That’s what’s important.
548
I want to make things of quality. I’m a big believer in handmade, tactile, crafted pieces. I want to keep that tradition alive.
549
I don’t have to be what you want me to be.
550
When I’m not longer rapping, I want to open up an ice cream parlor and call myself Scoop Dogg.
551
The man who doesn’t want anything is invincible.
552
Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down.
553
Everyone wants to say they hate lawyers, and yet I’ve never met a parent who didn’t want their kid to be a lawyer.
554
I am still far from being what I want to be, but with God’s help I shall succeed.
555
If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.
556
The only way to keep your health is to eat what you don’t want, drink what you don’t like, and do what you’d rather not.
557
There are still forces in America that want to divide us along racial lines, religious lines, sex, class. But we’ve come too far; we’ve made too much progress to stop or to pull back. We must go forward. And I believe we will get there.
558
We want to do a lot of stuff; we’re not in great shape. We didn’t get a good night’s sleep. We’re a little depressed. Coffee solves all these problems in one delightful little cup.
559
What the people want is very simple – they want an America as good as its promise.
560
Time is what we want most, but what we use worst.
561
Nothing is as important as passion. No matter what you want to do with your life, be passionate.
562
I like food. I like eating. And I don’t want to deprive myself of good food.
563
If you want to sacrifice the admiration of many men for the criticism of one, go ahead, get married.
564
I know where I’m going and I know the truth, and I don’t have to be what you want me to be. I’m free to be what I want.
565
‘But I don’t want to go among mad people,’ said Alice. ‘Oh, you can’t help that,’ said the cat. ‘We’re all mad here.’
566
I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
567
I always want to have fun and be silly and be childish. I’m very childish. I am at my happiest when I am a child and I am just playing.
568
I want to thank all our fans all around the world for their unconditional love and support. It really means a lot to me.
569
I don’t want people in China to have deep pockets but shallow minds.
570
If you want to make enemies, try to change something.
571
There’s so much negativity on social media, I don’t want to add to that.
572
If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.
573
There are people in every time and every land who want to stop history in its tracks. They fear the future, mistrust the present, and invoke the security of a comfortable past which, in fact, never existed.
574
If you want to relax, watch the clouds pass by if you’re laying on the grass, or sit in front of the creek; just doing nothing and having those still moments is what really rejuvenates the body.
575
I know when I grew up, it was, if it was daylight outside, get outside. Well, now, with the technological age of computers and everything, everyone’s inside virtually going everywhere they want to go, virtually having relationships, virtually traveling across the neighborhood, virtually going to that island.
576
I want to do with you what spring does with cherry trees.
577
Indeed, a major source of objection to a free economy is precisely that it… gives people what they want instead of what a particular group thinks they ought to want. Underlying most arguments against the free market is a lack of belief in freedom itself.
578
I pray to God every day that he makes me the biggest superstar, but before that, I ask God to make me a good actor. Being a star is hard, but being an actor is even harder. I want to be both before I am done.
579
God has already done everything He’s going to do. The ball is now in your court. If you want success, if you want wisdom, if you want to be prosperous and healthy, you’re going to have to do more than meditate and believe; you must boldly declare words of faith and victory over yourself and your family.
580
Our object should be peace within, and peace without. We want to live peacefully and maintain cordial friendly relations with our immediate neighbours and with the world at large.
581
Meetings are indispensable when you don’t want to do anything.
582
There is not enough time to do all the nothing we want to do.
583
The transgender bathroom thing – it’s just so obvious that people are scared of what they don’t understand. It’s like, ‘I don’t want to deal with the fact that some people might have been born in the wrong body.’
584
Nothing is more bothersome to me than retiring. Weird things happen when you disengage; first you get negative, then you start telling people about your latest surgeries, and eventually you lose touch. I want to stay in touch.
585
It isn’t sufficient just to want – you’ve got to ask yourself what you are going to do to get the things you want.
586
I believe everyone should be equal, and we should all love and support each other and express ourselves the way we want to express ourselves and be whoever we want. That’s my motto.
587
Our chief want is someone who will inspire us to be what we know we could be.
588
I do not want the peace which passeth understanding, I want the understanding which bringeth peace.
589
God and Nature first made us what we are, and then out of our own created genius we make ourselves what we want to be. Follow always that great law. Let the sky and God be our limit and Eternity our measurement.
590
Architecture is a negotiated art, and it’s highly political, and if you want to make buildings, there is diplomacy required.
591
People can say what they want, but at the end of the day, I’m going to keep working on my game. I always know I have things to work on.
592
I don’t want to make money, I just want to be wonderful.
593
If you’re nervous, that means you care and you want to give your best.
594
I don’t want to speak negativity into existence.
595
It’s a small world, but I wouldn’t want to have to paint it.
596
You always want to win. That is why you play tennis, because you love the sport and try to be the best you can at it.
597
Eating is so intimate. It’s very sensual. When you invite someone to sit at your table and you want to cook for them, you’re inviting a person into your life.
598
If you want to release your aggression, get up and dance. That’s what rock and roll is all about.
599
I play a lot of cricket. I just want to play, play, and play.
600
There’s too much darkness in the world. Everywhere you turn, someone is tryin’ to tear someone down in some way; everywhere you go, there’s a feeling of inadequacy, or a feeling that you’re not good enough. I want to bring a certain light to the world.
601
If you want to be truly successful invest in yourself to get the knowledge you need to find your unique factor. When you find it and focus on it and persevere your success will blossom.
602
I think it all comes down to motivation. If you really want to do something, you will work hard for it.
603
I have my own high standards for what I want in a partner and how I want to be treated. I bring a lot to the table. I’m not talking about material things but what I have to offer as a person – love and loyalty and all the things that make a good relationship.
604
I don’t want to be just known for the way I dress. I want to be known for how I play, how I treat people, and how I am as a role model. I don’t just want to be, ‘He dresses cool’ or ‘He dresses crazy.’ You’re going to have lovers and haters. I want my golf game to be the main thing.
605
I just want to be better every day, to get better every day, not to be better than anyone else.
606
No rules. Don’t be afraid to do whatever you want. Cooking doesn’t have to have rules. I don’t like it that way.
607
The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want and if they can’t find them, make them.
608
You will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.
609
Legacy is a stupid thing! I don’t want a legacy.
610
If you want to increase your success rate, double your failure rate.
611

I faced a number of challenges whilst I built Biocon. Initially, I had credibility challenges where I couldn’t get banks to fund me; I couldn’t recruit people to work for a woman boss. Even in the businesses where I had to procure raw materials, they didn’t want to deal with women.

You have succeeded in life when all you really want is only what you really need.
640

I want to stand as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all the kinds of things you can’t see from the center.

649
Plastic surgery and breast implants are fine for people who want that, if it makes them feel better about who they are. But, it makes these people, actors especially, fantasy figures for a fantasy world. Acting is about being real being honest.

668
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
669
