start

People think that their world will get smaller as they get older. My experience is just the opposite. Your senses become more acute. You start to blossom.

Summer is not obligatory. We can start an infernally hard jigsaw puzzle in June with the knowledge that, if there are enough rainy days, we may just finish it by Labor Day, but if not, there's no harm, no penalty. We may have better things to do.

We can't have full knowledge all at once. We must start by believing then afterwards we may be led on to master the evidence for ourselves.

The first thing I do when I start my day is, I get down on my hands and knees and give thanks to God. Whenever I go outside of my house, the first thing I do is stop at the church.

Back when I was a senior in high school in Haughton, LA, I had a chance to go to LSU. Everyone I grew up with adored LSU, including my mom. But I chose to come to Mississippi State because I wanted to start a new tradition instead of perpetuating an established one.

The American people do not begrudge anyone his or her power until they start abusing it.

Every year on your birthday, you get a chance to start new.

I want everybody to know that I don't care who you are, where you're from, if you're popular or not: we all have haters. But you have to be resilient. You have to not allow them to have the power over you, where you start believing the things they say.

The story being told in 'Star Wars' is a classic one. Every few hundred years, the story is retold because we have a tendency to do the same things over and over again. Power corrupts, and when you're in charge, you start doing things that you think are right, but they're actually not.

It's amazing how ideas start out, isn't it?

All graffiti is low-level dissent, but stencils have an extra history. They've been used to start revolutions and to stop wars.

I had a New Year's kiss once. But it was like, 'Let's start the year off together,' and then we wound up breaking up the night after!

Good seasons start with good beginnings.

Why don't you start believing that no matter what you have or haven't done, that your best days are still out in front of you.

The best ideas start as conversations.

Men become much more attractive when they start looking older. But it doesn't do much for women, though we do have an advantage: make-up.

I see women in their 30s getting plastic surgery, pulling this up and tucking that back. It's like a slippery slope - once you start you pull one thing one way and then you think, 'Oh my God, I've got to do the other side.'

I still get the jitters every time I start a new job! I love it - makes you feel alive.
