I could be walking down the street one minute and get a handshake and then get spat on the next. I'm never sure whether to wear gloves or a helmet. ~ Chris Martin
Handshake quotes by Chris Martin
You cannot hide from danger. Death floats on the air, creeps through the window, comes with the handshake of a stranger. If we stop living because we fear death, then we have already died.
-Raistlin Majere ~ Margaret Weis
Handshake quotes by Margaret Weis
The day you accept a position or promotion under the handshake of quid pro quo in exchange to look the other way you forfeit the duty to lead by example. ~ Donavan Nelson Butler
Handshake quotes by Donavan Nelson Butler
The first sentence of a book is a handshake, perhaps an embrace. ~ Jhumpa Lahiri
Handshake quotes by Jhumpa Lahiri
But there is only one person I blame for getting shafted, and that's myself. I went into the deal which I thought would secure the future of Orange Aids with culpable impetuosity. I had been used to doing business on a handshake and my work of honour, and I made the error of actually believing what the men in the pin-striped suits told me. ~ Trevor Baylis
Handshake quotes by Trevor Baylis
Help me," said Jesper. "We need to barricade the entrance."
The man behind the desk wore gray scholar's robes. His nostrils were flared so wide in effrontery that Jesper feared being sucked up one of them.
"Young man - " Jesper pointed his gun at the scholar's chest. "Move."
"Jesper!" his father said.
"Don't worry, Da. People point guns at each other all the time in Ketterdam. It's basically a handshake."
"Is that true?" his father asked as the scholar grudgingly moved aside and they shoved the heavy desk in front of the door.
"Absolutely," said Wylan.
"Certainly not ," said the scholar. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Handshake quotes by Leigh Bardugo
A brick, in the hands of a Mason, could be used to cover up and hide a secret handshake. ~ Jarod Kintz
Handshake quotes by Jarod Kintz
Work like hell, tell everyone everything you know, close a deal with a handshake, and have fun. ~ Harold Eugene Edgerton
Handshake quotes by Harold Eugene Edgerton
What could you teach me?" Jamie asked, a dimple flashing in his right cheek next to his earring. "Do I need to learn a secret magician handshake? Do I need to learn to do finger wands?"

Gerald burst out laughing. "I - " he said, and seemed somewhat at a loss. "I don't know what you're talking about."

"Like a finger gun, but only magicians get to do it," Jamie explained, grinning and shifting his schoolbag on one shoulder. He swished one finger in a dramatic circle, making a swooshing sound to accompany the gesture.

"We don't use wands," said Gerald.

"Don't think that wasn't a crushing blow for me. ~ Sarah Rees Brennan
Handshake quotes by Sarah Rees Brennan
I think of the meaning of the word "testimony." Originally it named the custom of two men holding each other's testicles in a gesture of trust, later to metamorphose into the handshake. ~ Alice Walker
Handshake quotes by Alice Walker
These were wild aromas, far from the schoolroom, church building, or city. Like a secret handshake, these smells meant you were among a higher class. Men who were the best men Wilder knew. The kind of man he wanted, and intended, to be. ~ S.J. Dahlstrom
Handshake quotes by S.J. Dahlstrom
The postman wants an autograph. The cab driver wants a picture. The waitress wants a handshake. Everyone wants a piece of you. ~ John Lennon
Handshake quotes by John Lennon
Only truthful hands write true poems. I cannot see any basic difference between a handshake and a poem. ~ Paul Celan
Handshake quotes by Paul Celan
I ain't the captain of the yacht, but I'm on the boat;
I ain't acting what I'm not, knowing that I don't.
You niggaz acting like you will, but I know you won't.
Man, I read between the lines of the eyes of your brows,
Your handshake ain't matchin your smile ... ~ Beanie Sigel
Handshake quotes by Beanie Sigel
Within each of us there is an intense need to feel that we belong. This feeling of unity and togetherness comes through the warmth of a smile, a handshake, or a hug, through laughter and unspoken demonstrations of love. It comes in the quiet, reverent moments of soft conversation and in listening. ~ William R. Bradford
Handshake quotes by William R. Bradford
Definitely that kind of owner, he thought. Self-made man proud of his handiwork. Confuses bluffness and honesty with merely being rude. I wouldn't mind betting a dollar that he thinks he can tell a man's character by testing the firmness of his handshake and looking deeply into his eyes. ~ Terry Pratchett
Handshake quotes by Terry Pratchett
The door handle is the handshake of the building. ~ Juhani Pallasmaa
Handshake quotes by Juhani Pallasmaa
Both my parents had a great influence on me. I never heard my father use a profane or even a slang word. I always respected him because of his complete integrity. In his business dealings his handshake was like a contract. He was as good as his word. Of all the people I have ever known, my mother had the greatest influence on me. ~ Billy Graham
Handshake quotes by Billy Graham
I've watched my dad move our family from extreme poverty to extreme wealth and then everywhere in between. Never once did I see or hear him be anything but a cheerleader for the accomplishments of others. It didn't matter if he was down or up in life, he wanted everybody around him to succeed. I've even watched him praise the very people that have tried to destroy him over the years and then very publicly wish them success and happiness. He taught me the enthusiasm that should always come at the success of others. He constantly taught me that when others succeed, it gives us all more opportunity to succeed. He taught me that when there is conflict, minor or major, you can almost always walk away at the end with a handshake. ~ Dan Pearce
Handshake quotes by Dan Pearce
The exchange of words is a lot like a virtual handshake. Is the writer's grasp of the language strong and bold? Are the words gripping? Direct? Inventive? Sincere? ~ Allison Mackie
Handshake quotes by Allison Mackie
Begin at the beginning. Know nothing. Tabula rasa. At the same time, part of me wanted to distinguish myself. To let her sense the bond we shared straightaway. Maybe subtly hint at some of my secret intelligence. A secret handshake. A nod. I now completely understood how criminal masterminds could so easily get caught before the big reveal - the temptation to boast about the execution was huge. ~ Olivia Sudjic
Handshake quotes by Olivia Sudjic
There are no magic wands, no hidden tracks, and no secret handshakes that can bring you immediate success, but with time, energy and determination you can get there. ~ Darren Rowse
Handshake quotes by Darren Rowse
Call me paranoid, but the shape the human hand makes when extending out for a handshake looks suspiciously like a karate chop. Maybe diplomacy, especially in DC, could use a little kung fu mixed in. ~ Jarod Kintz
Handshake quotes by Jarod Kintz
Blay didn't shake the hand that was offered. He reached over, took a hold of the fighter's face, and drew Qhuinn in for a kiss. It was supposed to be only a split-seconder - like their lips were the ones doing the handshake thing. When he went to pull back, though, Qhuinn captured him, and held him in place. Their mouths met again ... and again ... and once more, their heads tilting to the sides, the contact lingering. "You're welcome," Blay said roughly. Then he smiled a little. "Can't say it was all a pleasure, though. ~ J.R. Ward
Handshake quotes by J.R. Ward
He smiled, fitting his hand in mine. "Parker, I love you."
"Sandeke, I see your love, and I raise you a secret handshake. ~ Penny Reid
Handshake quotes by Penny Reid
Remember, how you speak to people matters, and a lot more than you might realize. Especially when meeting people for the first time, your facial expression, handshake, and eye contact are most important - and one I strongly believe is the most important of all - ENTHUSIASM - when you speak. ~ Allan London
Handshake quotes by Allan London
But I'm not afraid of the skeletons in Julie's closet. I look forward to meeting the rest of them, looking them hard in the eye, giving them firm, bone-crunching handshakes. ~ Isaac Marion
Handshake quotes by Isaac Marion
Music is a handshake where I, as a songwriter, am only part of the equation. I love that, the fact that you can make the song your own. ~ Jon Foreman
Handshake quotes by Jon Foreman
And there's one more thing."
Rose accepted the handshake with a smile, hoping she would see this strange woman again. "What is that?"
"The man in your cup-the one who you say hides from the world?"
"Yes, what of him?"
Sadie smiled. "He's here. ~ Kathryn Smith
Handshake quotes by Kathryn Smith
The only thing weaker than a toddler's handshake is their immune system. ~ Jim Gaffigan
Handshake quotes by Jim Gaffigan
The key reason executives are paid so much now is that they appoint the members of the corporate board that determines their compensation and control many of the perks that board members count on. So it's not the invisible hand of the market that leads to those monumental executive incomes; it's the invisible handshake in the boardroom. ~ Paul Krugman
Handshake quotes by Paul Krugman
He was one of those quite rare adults who communicate with small children fairly well and who love them all impartially
not in a sugary way but in a businesslike fashion that may sometimes entail a hug, in the same way that closing a big business deal may call for a handshake. ~ Stephen King
Handshake quotes by Stephen King
Once you set goals that really matter to you, you are no longer the same person. Real goals will affect almost everything you do all day long. And they will be with you wherever you go. Your handshake, your manner of dressing, the tone of your voice, the way you feel - all will change once you have goals. That's because when your goals matter, everything you do becomes related to their accomplishment. ~ Jim Rohn
Handshake quotes by Jim Rohn
But now you must give me your hand, an agreement of this sort needs to be confirmed with a handshake. Will she shake hands with me? ~ Franz Kafka
Handshake quotes by Franz Kafka
If you currently travel abroad or plan to in the future, make sure you understand the cultural convention of the country that you are visiting. Particularly with regard to greetings. If someone gives you a weak hand-shake, don't grimace. If anyone takes your arm, don't wince. If you are in the Middle East and a person wants to hold your hand, hold it. If you are a man visiting Russia, don't be surprised when your male host kisses your cheek, rather than hand. All of these greetings are as natural as way to express genuine sentiments as an American handshake. I am honored when an Arab or Asian man offers to take my hand because I know that it is a sign of high respect and trust. Accepting these cultural differences is the first step to better understanding and embracing diversity. ~ Joe Navarro
Handshake quotes by Joe Navarro
Here is the hardest hit of all, O'Malley," Harry said. "Here is the very worst thing I can do to you."
He held out his hand, as if asking for a handshake.
He was asking for a handshake.
Conor responded almost automatically, putting out his own hand and shaking Harry's before he even thought about what he was doing. They shook hands like two businessmen at the end of a meeting.
"Goodbye, O'Malley," Harry said, looking into Conor's eyes. "I no longer see you. ~ Patrick Ness
Handshake quotes by Patrick Ness
I stand six feet back when meeting new people. And before they can step to me and extend their arm for a handshake, I drop down like I'm doing pushups, and extend my right hand. It's friendly, but it lets them know I'm into boundaries. And unless they're a cartographer, they have to be made aware of this fact. ~ Jarod Kintz
Handshake quotes by Jarod Kintz
I expected a nod and maybe a handshake, but Dan clasped his hand to his chest, whispered something like "Chthulhu fh'tagn!" and spit into a urinal. ~ Brian Katcher
Handshake quotes by Brian Katcher
Though negotiations are a rough game, you should never allow them to become a dirty game. Once you've agreed to a deal, don't back out of it unless the other party fails to deliver as promised. Your handshake is your bond. As far as I'm concerned, a handshake is worth more than a signed contract. As an entrepreneur, a reputation for integrity is your most valuable commodity. If you try to put something over on someone, it will come back to haunt you. ~ Victor Kiam
Handshake quotes by Victor Kiam
I have always been an honest trader. I come from a school of traders where there was honour in the deal. No contracts, just a handshake and that's it, done. That's the way I prefer to do business but it's not always possible these days, sadly. ~ Alan Sugar
Handshake quotes by Alan Sugar
No man can fully understand the meaning of love unless he's owned by a dog. ~ Gene Hill
Handshake quotes by Gene Hill
How to Sleep at Night

Try to think of nothing.
That's the secret.

Try to think of nothing.
Do not think of work not done,
or of promises unkept, calls to return,
or agendas you have failed to prepare for meetings
yet unheld.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of words said and unsaid,
or minor scandals and major investigations,
of humiliations endured, insults suffered,
or retorts that did not spring to mind
in time.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of your wife,
of lonely children and their reproachful demands,
or the smile of the pretty woman
whose handshake lingered just a shade too long
in your palm.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of newspaper headlines,
of the insistent transience of the shortwave radio,
or the seductive stridency of the TV microphones
thrust so thrillingly
into your face.

Think of nothing.
Do not think of the waif on the foreign sidewalk,
her large eyes open in supplication,
her ragged shift stained by dirt and dust,
stretching her despairing hand towards you
in hope

No, do not think
of the solitary tear, the broken limb,
the rubble-strewn home, the choking scream;
never think
of piled up bodies, blazing flames,
shattered lives, or sundered souls.
Do not think of the triumph of the torturer,
the wails of the hungry,
Shashi Tharoor
Handshake quotes by Shashi Tharoor
Roark threw his head up once, for a flash of a second, to look at Heller across the table. It was all the introduction they needed; it was like a handshake. ~ Ayn Rand
Handshake quotes by Ayn Rand
Pam (from The Office) is not intimidating, like one of those women who wears makeup and tailored clothes, and has a good job that she enjoys, and confidence, and an adult woman's sexuality. There's nothing scary about Pam, because there's no mystery; she's just like the boys who like her; mousy and shy. The ultimate emo-boy fantasy is to meet a nerdy, cute girl just like him, and nobody else will realize she's pretty. And she'll melt when she sees his record collection because it's just like hers ... and she'll never want to go out to a party for which he'll be forced to comb his hair, or buy grown-up shoes or tie a tie, or demonstrate a hearty handshake, or make eye contact, or relate to people who work in different fields, or to basically act like a man. ~ Julie Klausner
Handshake quotes by Julie Klausner
She was entirely unaware of the protocol when becoming acquainted with a man's rampant sex organ. Did she reach out and give it a handshake? Touch one finger to the tip? Bid it a polite howdoyoudo? ~ Tessa Dare
Handshake quotes by Tessa Dare
I read from Mark Twain's lips one or two of his good stories. He has his own way of thinking, saying and doing everything. I feel the twinkle of his eye in his handshake. Even while he utters his cynical wisdom in an indescribably droll voice, he makes you feel that his heart is a tender Iliad of human sympathy. ~ Helen Keller
Handshake quotes by Helen Keller
The old water heater in my dressing room was working, but it was kind of tired. It gave off about as much warmth as an agent's handshake. ~ Bob Hope
Handshake quotes by Bob Hope
Social media is like a virtual handshake when used by a professional advisor. ~ Peter Bowman
Handshake quotes by Peter Bowman
Michael held out his hand, and Kaden squeezed tighter than a typical handshake. The other man wiggled his hand free and then shot him an irritated glare.
So, this was the human trying to steal his Annabelle? He didn't look like much - a bit too skinny. She needed a man who could put his arms around her and make her feel safe.
Annabelle's my friend. I have no right to think of her as mine.
His heart pulsed a second time, and he startled. This wasn't happening. Annabelle couldn't be his? A human mate? He didn't understand. Two heartbeats. It had to mean something. ~ Stacey O'Neale
Handshake quotes by Stacey O'Neale
Becoming" a stranger seems easier to maintain than "being" a stranger... The former can be sustained forever and can be resumed time and again... The latter needs just a smile or a handshake or a word of recognition to break... ~ Gayathri Jayakumar
Handshake quotes by Gayathri Jayakumar
I want a new past,new memories, a new first handshake with love. I want to start over in every possible way. ~ Isaac Marion
Handshake quotes by Isaac Marion
It's just sex. It's like a handshake, only friendlier." (Gary) ~ Marshall Thornton
Handshake quotes by Marshall Thornton
My pleasure," he assured me, propping one shoulder against the doorjamb and folding his arms across his chest. "Rather nice change from my normal daily routine. I don't often have comely young maidens throwing themselves at my feet."
"Yes, well," I said, coloring, "that won't happen again."
He smiled down at me, and after a final handshake I made my departure. I had almost reached the end of the neatly edged walk when he spoke.
"What a pity," he said, but I don't think I was meant to hear it. ~ Susanna Kearsley
Handshake quotes by Susanna Kearsley
Saddam Hussein greeted me with a handshake, which, again to my surprise, is surprisingly soft considering how many people that hand had dispatched, allegedly. I think he's quite a forbidding presence, too forbidding a presence to be charming. But he's interesting. ~ George Galloway
Handshake quotes by George Galloway
You can tell the character of a person by their handshake. ~ Kathy Magliato
Handshake quotes by Kathy Magliato
She turned to Skulduggery and held out her arms. "Come here, you."

He tilted his head. "My hugs are for special occasions only."

"Hug me."

"I prefer the old tradition."

"Hug."

"Would a handshake do?"

"Hug."

"A pat on the back?"

She stepped forward and wrapped her arms round him. "Hug," she said.

He sighed, and his hands settled on her shoulders. The others were warm and their embraces strong – with Skulduggery the hug was cold, and there were areas on his jacket that gave way beneath her fingers, and she could feel the emptiness within. She didn't mind. ~ Derek Landy
Handshake quotes by Derek Landy
The Duke of Edinburgh has perfected the art of saying hello and goodbye in the same handshake. ~ Jennie Bond
Handshake quotes by Jennie Bond
How's things, man?" The black man extended his hand for a handshake. Mathematical formulae were jotted on the sleeve of his shirt, right up to the elbow.
"Very good," said Peter. It had never occurred to him before that dark-skinned people didn't have the option of jotting numbers on their skin. You learned something new about human diversity every day. ~ Michel Faber
Handshake quotes by Michel Faber
I have twice met Jeffrey Archer, and on both occasions was struck by the firmness of his handshake - and the way he looked me straight in the eye, too. ~ Craig Brown
Handshake quotes by Craig Brown
Jonathan Green had a firm handshake, clear eyes, and a jawline not dissimilar to Dudley Do-Right's. He was in his early sixties, with graying hair, a beach-club tan, and a voice that was rich and comforting. A minister's voice. He wasn't a handsome man, but there was a sincerity in his eyes that put you at ease. Jonathan Green was reputed to be one of the top five criminal defense attorneys in America, with a success rate in high-profile criminal defense cases of one hundred percent. Like Elliot Truly, Jonathan Green was wearing an impeccably tailored blue Armani suit. So were the lesser attorneys. Maybe they got a bulk discount. I was wearing impeccably tailored black Gap jeans, a linen aloha shirt, and white Reebok sneakers. Green said, Did Elliot explain why we wanted to see you? ~ Robert Crais
Handshake quotes by Robert Crais
Every child learned the skills and attitudes that are valued by their own class culture. But outside of the family unit, all skills were not considered to be equal. Modern American culture, Lareau wrote, valued the qualities that middle-class children were developing over the ones that poor and working-class children were developing. "Central institutions in the society, such as schools," Lareau wrote, "firmly and decisively promote strategies of concerted cultivation in child rearing. For working-class and poor families, the cultural logic of child rearing at home is out of synch with the standards of institutions." In one poor household Lareau studied, for example, family members didn't look each other in the eye when they spoke - an appropriate response in a culture where eye contact can be interpreted as a threat, but ill-suited to a job interview where a firm handshake and a steady gaze are considered assets, and a failure to make eye contact can make a candidate seem shifty. ~ Paul Tough
Handshake quotes by Paul Tough
There is a philosophy by which many people live their lives, and it is this: life is a shit sandwich, but the more bread you've got, the less shit you have to eat.

These people are often selfish brats as kids, and they don't get better with age: think of the shifty-eyed smarmy asshole from the sixth form who grow up to be a merchant banker, or an estate agent, or one of the Conservative Party funny-handshake mine's a Rolex brigade.

(This isn't to say that all estate agents, or merchant bankers, or conservatives are selfish, but that these are ways of life that provide opportunities of a certain disposition to enrich themselves at the expense of others. Bear with me.)

There is another philosophy by which people live their lives, and it goes thus: You will do as I say or I will hurt you.

. . . Let me draw you a Venn diagram with two circles on it, denoting sets of individuals. They overlap: the greedy ones and the authoritarian ones. Let's shade in the intersecting area in a different color and label it: dangerous. Greed isn't automatically dangerous on its won, and petty authoritarians aren't usually dangerous outside their immediate vicinity -- but when you combine the two, you get gangsters and dictators and hate-spewing preachers. ~ Charles Stross
Handshake quotes by Charles Stross
Two German kayakers arrive from the north at nightfall. They set up camp on the cape beach, about a third of a mile from the cabin, and come up to recharge their equipment on my solar batteries. We have to look at their photos, their films, exchange e-mail addresses. When you meet someone nowadays, right after the handshake and a quick glance you write down the website and blog information. Conversation has given way to a session in front of the screen. Afterwards, you won't remember faces or tones of voice, but you'll have cards with scribbled numbers. Human society's dream has come true: we rub our antennae together like ants. One day we'll just take a sniff. ~ Sylvain Tesson
Handshake quotes by Sylvain Tesson
I shall be passed from one man to the next, ownership tranferred with ease of a handshake and I will be expected to smile as the deal is done ~ Louise O'Neill
Handshake quotes by Louise O'Neill
There is not a soul who does not have to beg alms of another, either a smile, a handshake, or a fond eye. ~ Lord Acton
Handshake quotes by Lord Acton
Dad trusted people based on their spirit and their handshake. ~ John Carter Cash
Handshake quotes by John Carter Cash
Well, I think a handshake is something that honorable men do. Before we had contracts we had handshakes that expressed that we were making an arrangement that was based on our honor. And I don't think I can shake the hand of someone who shows and lacks honor by attacking a man's faith. ~ Rand Paul
Handshake quotes by Rand Paul
I got a good handshake. A lot of executives tell me I have the best handshake in Hollywood. ~ Marlee Matlin
Handshake quotes by Marlee Matlin
I have a secret handshake, like the Masons. Except mine is like a true secret in that nobody else knows about it, which is why I never shake hands. ~ Jarod Kintz
Handshake quotes by Jarod Kintz
Like Beji, our country is a nation whose citizens has employed crooked means of survival, lives in the expense of others, cares the least about their compatriots, and are ever more than willing to do anything conceivable to plunge every vulnerable life into a pitch-dark abyss! It is, you will realize, a lovely den of hungry wolves whose ugly claws often extend a cold handshake to every beggar in the next turn... ~ Levi Cheruo Cheptora
Handshake quotes by Levi Cheruo Cheptora
I finally got it.Allie and Sam..heavy duty secret handshake going on. ~ Rachel Hawthorne
Handshake quotes by Rachel Hawthorne
At the base of my right forefinger is an inch-and-a-half diagonal callus, yellowish-brown in color, where the heels of all the knives I've ever owned have rested, the skin softened by constant immersion in water. It distinguishes me immediately as a cook, as someone who's been on the job a long time. You can feel it when I shake my hand, just as I feel it on others of my profession. It's a secret sign, a sort of Masonic handshake without the silliness. ~ Anthony Bourdain
Handshake quotes by Anthony Bourdain
Move."
"Jesper!" his father said.
"Don't worry, Da. People point guns at each other all the time in Ketterdam. It's basically a handshake."
"Is that true?" his father asked as the scholar grudgingly moved aside and they shoved the heavy desk in front of the door.
"Absolutely," said Wylan.
"Certainly not," said the scholar.
Jesper waved them on. "Depends on the neighborhood. Let's go. ~ Leigh Bardugo
Handshake quotes by Leigh Bardugo
Learn to be friendly and learn to welcome all people, but note however in doing so that it is not every hand that is stretched towards you that deserves your handshake! ~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Handshake quotes by Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
Once he had taken hold, he did not let go. It was not a handshake, it was a possession. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Handshake quotes by Lisa Kleypas
So!" Jack said, clapping his hands and grinning at me. "We ready to go? What's the transportation plan?"
"I guess I'll go with Reth, and - "
Lend shouted, "No, you're not going anywhere alone with Reth."
"Fine, I'll go with Jack, and - "
"That doesn't work for me either."
I laughed drily. "Okay then, I'll click my heels together three times and say, 'There's no place like the Center, there's no place like the Center,' and then magically appear there!"
He was quiet for a few seconds. "You'll probably be safer with Reth." It sounded like he was speaking through clenched teeth. "And I can keep a better eye on Jack."
"Well, I for one am thrilled to spend more time with Lend. That's the top of my Fun Things to Do list. We should come up with a secret handshake!" Jack said, pushing me to the side and throwing the door open, which resulted in Lend falling to the floor immediately unconscious. "Oh, whoops." Jack smiled, his eyes gleaming. "Too bad, I like him so much when he's talking."
"Very funny. Keep him safe, okay? I don't Raquel's in the Iron Wing - she would have heard me shouting. Look anywhere you can think of. They might have her in a random room somewhere. We'll meet in Raquel's old office in two hours, whether we've found anything or not."
He nodded, not looking at me as he poked Lend repeatedly with his foot.
"And, Jack? That threat Reth made about your hands? I'm going to apply it to Lend, too. Keep him safe. Or else. ~ Kiersten White
Handshake quotes by Kiersten White
My point,' I said, 'is that there's hell in every handshake, never mind an outright and humiliating insult. ~ Thomas Ligotti
Handshake quotes by Thomas Ligotti
His embarassment would have pleased me, but once he recovered, there would be that awkward period that sometimes culminates in a handshake. I didn't want to touch these people's hands or see things from their point of view, I just wanted to continue hating them. So I kept my mouth shut and stared off into space. ~ David Sedaris
Handshake quotes by David Sedaris
Miss Manners herself, while never rude, is given to pulling a fast pinch in the way of a handshake on those who believe in kissing on, not even the first date, but the first sighting. ~ Judith Martin
Handshake quotes by Judith Martin
Some scientists want to replace the handshake with the fist bump. Others want to replace the fist bump with the 'tush push.' ~ Conan O'Brien
Handshake quotes by Conan O'Brien
Are we all going to high-five now?' Jenna asked after a pause.
'No, but I can make up some kind of secret handshake if you want,' Archer said, and for a second, they smiled at each other. ~ Rachel Hawkins
Handshake quotes by Rachel Hawkins
I have a good, hearty laugh and an energetic handshake, and those are trump cards. ~ Albert Camus
Handshake quotes by Albert Camus
To build your self image, you need to join the smile, firm handshake and compliment club. ~ Zig Ziglar
Handshake quotes by Zig Ziglar
Ireland, like Ukraine, is a largely rural country which suffers from its proximity to a more powerful industrialised neighbour. Ireland's contribution to the history of tractors is the genius engineer Harry Ferguson, who was born in 1884, near Belfast.
Ferguson was a clever and mischievous man, who also had a passion for aviation. It is said that he was the first man in Great Britain to build and fly his own aircraft in 1909. But he soon came to believe that improving efficiency of food production would be his unique service to mankind. Harry Ferguson's first two-furrow plough was attached to the chassis of the Ford Model T car converted into a tractor, aptly named Eros. This plough was mounted on the rear of the tractor, and through ingenious use of balance springs it could be raised or lowered by the driver using a lever beside his seat. Ford, meanwhile, was developing its own tractors. The Ferguson design was more advanced, and made use of hydraulic linkage, but Ferguson knew that despite his engineering genius, he could not achieve his dream on his own. He needed a larger company to produce his design. So he made an informal agreement with Henry Ford, sealed only by a handshake. This Ford-Ferguson partnership gave to the world a new type of Fordson tractor far superior to any that had been known before, and the precursor of all modern-type tractors. However, this agreement by a handshake collapsed in 1947 when Henry Ford II took over the empire of his father, and st ~ Marina Lewycka
Handshake quotes by Marina Lewycka
To Jack, there was nothing more powerful than a promise made over a handshake. He would have died ー literally chosen death ー before breaking his word. ~ Lisa Kleypas
Handshake quotes by Lisa Kleypas
The so-called sexual revolution is not, as advertised, a liberation of sexual behavior but rather its reversal. In former days, even under Victoria, sexual intercourse was the natural end and culmination of heterosexual relations. Now one begins with genital overtures instead of a handshake, then waits to see what will turn up (e.g., might become friends later). Like dogs greeting each other nose to tail and tail to nose. ~ Walker Percy
Handshake quotes by Walker Percy
Is the Archbishop's blessing any more meaningful than the Politician's handshake? The come, they go, with bigger things than us on their minds. ~ Edward Abbey
Handshake quotes by Edward Abbey
I'd give anything if you'd kiss me." I said. "I mean," I said when he tilted his head to look at me, his eyes wide in shock, "I've kissed guys before. It's like a handshake these days," I lied, just wanting to know what his lips on mind would feel like. "Almost required if you're leaving. ~ Kim Harrison
Handshake quotes by Kim Harrison
I'm not extra sensitive to handshakes. I shake hands all the time. ~ Amy Schumer
Handshake quotes by Amy Schumer
Sometimes the beauty is easy. Sometimes you don't have to try at all. Sometimes you can hear the wind blow in a handshake. Sometimes there's poetry written right on the bathroom wall. ~ Ani DiFranco
Handshake quotes by Ani DiFranco
In the old days all you needed was a handshake. Nowadays you need forty lawyers. ~ Jimmy Hoffa
Handshake quotes by Jimmy Hoffa
I remain fundamentally optimistic about
Wall Street as a marketplace and as a vehicle for wealth creation. Its
future will rightly depend on several variables, chief among them
being human choices; whether they be rationally, emotionally, subjectively
or objectively made. Financial engineering taught us that if
it could be quantified, it could be qualified. We learned about how
to use leverage and have abused that knowledge for a myriad of
reasons. We became practitioners of the transaction-based model, but forgot that long before the abacus there was trust and integrity,
anchors of relationship-based models common with Middle East and
Asian markets. It goes back to a handshake, the first and enduring
example of mutual consensus. ~ Ziad K. Abdelnour
Handshake quotes by Ziad K. Abdelnour
Their handshake looked, for the first split-second he looked, like C.T. was jacking off and the little girl was going Sieg Heil. ~ David Foster Wallace
Handshake quotes by David Foster Wallace
I must go the washroom. I've shaken a lot of hands. ~ Yann Martel
Handshake quotes by Yann Martel
It is possible to tell things by a handshake. I like the "looking in the eye" syndrome. It conveys interest. I like the firm, though not bone crushing shake. The bone crusher is trying too hard to "macho it." The clammy or diffident handshake - fairly or unfairly - get me off to a bad start with a person. ~ George H. W. Bush
Handshake quotes by George H. W. Bush
Oh, God, if that's where this woman had gotten her Sophie Mercer gossip, I was surprised she'd greeted me with a handshake instead of an exorcism. ~ Rachel Hawkins
Handshake quotes by Rachel Hawkins
And your people tried to kill my best friend, so you'll forgive me if I'm not overly keen on learning the secret handshake."
She shook her head sadly. "You should be going on dates and hanging out at the mall. Not wearing stakes on your belt."
I shrugged one shoulder. "The mall sucks. ~ Alyxandra Harvey
Handshake quotes by Alyxandra Harvey
They had to pretend because our high-ranking politician knew not a word of English (well, when he said goodbye he did risk a "Good luck") and the high-ranking British politician knew not a word of Spanish (although she did say "Buen dίa" to me as she gave me an iron handshake). So while the former was mumbling gibberish in Spanish, inaudible to cameras and photographers, all the time keeping a broad smile trained on his guest, as if he were regaling her with interesting banter (what he said was not, however, inaudible to me: I seem to remember that he kept repeating "One, two, three, four, five, what a lovely time we're going to have"). The latter was muttering nonsense in her own language, and smiling even more broadly than him ("Cheese," she kept saying, which is what all English people being photographed are told to say, and then various untranslatable onomatopoeic words such as "Tweedle tweedle, biddle diddle, twit and fiddle, tweedle twang"). ~ Javier Marias
Handshake quotes by Javier Marias
Dylan laughed and they exchanged a series of complex, multistage handshake-fist-bump-high-fives. ~ Ransom Riggs
Handshake quotes by Ransom Riggs
Goodbye forever" is the perfect joke, because forever is impossible. Every night I say it, and every morning I see my father again. Forever is meaningless. Tough talk, an empty threat. Forever is our secret handshake. Our code word. Our decoder ring. Not a measurement of time at all. I know this because "Goodbye Forever" comes easily. The passage of actual time is much more difficult. ~ Joey Comeau
