I'm not really much of an actor, so when I started on 'The Daily Show,' I was just trying to adopt the faux authority of a newsperson. Having a British accent definitely gave me a sonic leg up on that because there is a faux authority to the British accent in and of itself. ~ John Oliver
John quotes by John Oliver
For though my rhyme be ragged,
Tattered and jagged,
Rudely rain-beaten,
Rusty and moth-eaten,
If ye take well therewith,
It hath in it some pith. ~ John Skelton
John quotes by John Skelton
Gratitude, purpose, camaraderie, love, family, usefulness, art, pleasure-all these are within my grasp, requiring of me only that I receive them. ~ John Leland
John quotes by John Leland
The imagination of a eunuch dwells more and longer upon the material of love than that of man or woman ... supplying, so far as he can, by speculation, the place of pleasures he can no longer enjoy. ~ John Quincy Adams
John quotes by John Quincy Adams
I can tell you I'm pretty middle-class. ~ John Prescott
John quotes by John Prescott
The greatest moment of your life is now.
Not because it's pleasant or happy or easy, but because this moment is the only moment you've got. Every past moment is irretrievably gone. It's never coming back. If you live there, you lose your life.
And the future is always out there somewhere. You can spend an eternity waiting for tomorrow, or worrying about tomorrow. If you live there, you likewise will lose your life.
This moment is God's irreplaceable gift to you. ~ John Ortberg
John quotes by John Ortberg
All politicians lie;
some of them steal too.
30+ year Washington columnist ~ John A. McCormick
John quotes by John A. McCormick
In this world some people will always throw stones in your path. It depends on you what you make from them... a wall or a bridge. ~ John Reyes
John quotes by John Reyes
When debtors once have borrowed all we have to lend, they are very apt to grow shy of their creditors' company. ~ John Vanbrugh
John quotes by John Vanbrugh
We understand now, we've been made to understand, and to embrace the understanding that who we are is who we were. ~ John Quincy Adams
John quotes by John Quincy Adams
Public access to government information is a fundamental prerequisite to a functioning democracy. A democratic system is based on the notion that government legitimacy requires the consent of the governed. To be meaningful that consent must be informed. ~ John Podesta
John quotes by John Podesta
Lincoln himself once said, "The worst things you can do for those you love are the things they could and should do for themselves." He fiercely believed in self-sufficiency, and in the maturity and character that struggles and hardships can bring. ~ John Wooden
John quotes by John Wooden
Cousin-screwing. It is not totally safe. It raises the risk of birth defects slightly. But I was reading in a book for history that there's, like, a 99.9999 percent chance that at least one of your great-great-great-grandparents married first cousin. ~ John Green
John quotes by John Green
All things being at God's disposal, and the decision of salvation or death belonging to him, he orders all things by his counsel and decree in such a manner, that some men are born devoted from the womb to certain death, that his name may be glorified in their destruction. ~ John Calvin
John quotes by John Calvin
I'm not running for president because I think I'm blessed with such personal greatness that history has anointed me to save our country in its hour of need. My country saved me. My country saved me, and I cannot forget it. And I will fight for her for as long as I draw breath, so help me God. ~ John McCain
John quotes by John McCain
I want to be remembered as a great player, but I guess it will be as a player who got angry on a tennis court. ~ John McEnroe
John quotes by John McEnroe
'Attack The Block' is an alien invasion film set in South London. It's about a group of kids who are some petty thugs, who have to find the hero in themselves, when they attack. ~ John Boyega
John quotes by John Boyega
What are the maxims of Democracy? A strict observance of justice and public faith, and a steady adherence to virtue. ~ John Marshall
John quotes by John Marshall
I always worry that I'm a dilettante: I know something about lots of things but don't have exhaustive knowledge of much. ~ John Darnielle
John quotes by John Darnielle
If a man achieves worldly success and does not blend into his life a program of self-improvement to bring about a sensible balance, he no doubt will end up as a failure. ~ John H. Vandenberg
John quotes by John H. Vandenberg
Longing for the mountains ~ John Muir
John quotes by John Muir
The pilot channel is doing what was expected. It is abating dust and giving us an inkling of what the area will look like when it is restored . ~ John Wallace
John quotes by John Wallace
Uniqueness Leads To Great Success Some men see things as they are and say 'why?' I dream things that never were, and say, 'why not?' --George Bernard Shaw English Dramatist (1856-1950) ~ John Paul Carinci
John quotes by John Paul Carinci
As a general rule, highly rational writers (like Nabokov) write most comfortably in the morning, and mainly intuitive writers write most comfortably at night. ~ John Gardner
John quotes by John Gardner
I never watched TV because I was always doing a game. I didn't have any experience to be home watching games. I didn't know how to do it. Brent Musburger and those guys could sit and watch every game and know the scores. And I was amazed and said, 'I'd like to have something like that someday.' ~ John Madden
John quotes by John Madden
War is treachery and hatred, the muddling of incompetent generals, the torture and killing and sickness and tiredness, until at last it is over and nothing has changed except for new weariness and new hatreds. ~ John Steinbeck
John quotes by John Steinbeck
If you want to do something that really changes someone's life, the best thing you can do is make the person you're trying to help a participant in the process. ~ John Stahl-Wert
John quotes by John Stahl-Wert
I was never into the popular school or clique or anything. Then I started doing movies when I was in high school, so then I got popular. Then the girls paid attention to you who didn't before. ~ John Cusack
John quotes by John Cusack
The time horizon may be too long for sole reliance on market solutions - but perhaps the inventiveness of the financial services industry will prove me wrong that point! ~ John Bruton
John quotes by John Bruton
If there were no tribulation, there would be no rest; if there were no winter, there would be no summer. ~ Saint John Chrysostom
John quotes by Saint John Chrysostom
There will always be dissident voices heard in the land, expressing opposition without alternatives, finding fault but never favor, perceiving gloom on every side and seeking influence without responsibility. ~ John F. Kennedy
John quotes by John F. Kennedy
Keep your head down, fella. Do your job. Sell the product, write the contracts, negotiate the loans, attend the closings, bank your share and fatten the Keogh accordingly. ~ John D. MacDonald
John quotes by John D. MacDonald
I always like routine. I suppose I never found boredom very boring. ~ John Green
John quotes by John Green
The thought of you being removed from the rotation is not funny to me. ~ John Green
John quotes by John Green
Advertising is in essence simply a means of communication through mass media which is available to anyone who can pay for it. It is, in this sense, rather like electricity, which can be used to work a refrigerator or a dentist's drill. ~ John Treasure
John quotes by John Treasure
I started writing, or rather, thinking, stories as a child, and at that time the reason was very clear. ~ John Sladek
John quotes by John Sladek
Man always travels along precipices ... His truest obligation is to keep his balance. ~ Pope John Paul II
John quotes by Pope John Paul II
I tore open the closet door and began feverishly sorting through the shirts piled on the floor in the vain hope that inside that pile there might be some wondrously perfect shirt down there, a nice and tough but I'm also a surprisingly good listener with a true and abiding passion for cheers and those who lead them. ~ John Green
John quotes by John Green
People paying attention to vibratory activity, not in reaction to a fixed ideal performance, but each time attentively to how it happens to be this time, not necessarily two times the same. A music that transports the listener to the moment where he is. ~ John Cage
John quotes by John Cage
How happy he whose toil Has o'er his languid pow'rless limbs diffus'd A pleasing lassitude; he not in vain Invokes the gentle Deity of dreams. His pow'rs the most voluptuously dissolve In soft repose; on him the balmy dews Of Sleep with double nutriment descend. ~ John Armstrong
John quotes by John Armstrong
We choose to vibrantly go about life, soak it up, embrace it, and celebrate it, or we choose not to. No one else can make this decision for us. ~ John O'Leary
John quotes by John O'Leary
The most rapturous delights you have ever had - in the beauty of a landscape, or in the pleasure of food, or in the fulfillment of a loving embrace - are like dewdrops compared to the bottomless ocean of joy that it will be to see God face-to-face (1 John 3:1-3). That is what we are in for, nothing less. And according to the Bible, that glorious beauty, and our enjoyment of it, has been immeasurably enhanced by Christ's redemption of us from evil and death. ~ Timothy Keller
John quotes by Timothy Keller
My mother and I looked at each other then, full in the face, more frankly than we'd done since I was small. I realized with a jolt that I was taller than she was by at least half a foot. When on earth had that happened? The realization made me want to sit down on the stairs and cry. It seemed to signify something terrible about the world: something that couldn't - or mustn't- be put into words. And I could see, looking down into her startled, anxious face, that my mother felt exactly the same way. ~ John Wray
John quotes by John Wray
This is why it is often called sovereign grace: it raises the dead. The dead do not raise themselves. God does by his grace. And it is this "glorious grace" that will be praised for all eternity. ~ John Piper
John quotes by John Piper
The urge to make art or contemplate philosophy does not go away when you are sick. Those urges just become transfigured by illness. ~ John Green
John quotes by John Green
Too much intimacy, too quickly, can cause women to become needy and men to pull away. Just as men have a tendency to rush into physical intimacy, women make the mistake of rushing into complete emotional intimacy. ~ John Gray
John quotes by John Gray
If I had the capabilities of being something other than I am, I would. It's no fun being an artist. You know what it's like, writing, it's torture. ~ John Lennon
John quotes by John Lennon
No more social media, no more scrolling through litanies of dreams and nervous hopes and photographs of lunches, cries for help and expressions of contentment and relationship-status updates with heart icons whole or broken, plans to meet up later, pleas, complaints, desires, pictures of babies dressed as bears or peppers for Halloween. No more reading and commenting on the lives of others, and in so doing, feeling slightly less alone in the room. No ~ Emily St. John Mandel
John quotes by Emily St. John Mandel
Who gets the bird, the hunter or the dog? ~ John Lewis
John quotes by John Lewis
With rough hands and gentle heart, I'll seduce you. You will feel my power and surrender to desire. ~ John Mark Green
John quotes by John Mark Green
How do you identify someone who needs encouragement? That person is breathing. TRUETT CATHEY ~ John C. Maxwell
John quotes by John C. Maxwell
Regarding fame, fortune and Oregon I do wish I had more money. ~ John Fahey
John quotes by John Fahey
Why should a great and powerful nation like the United States allow its relationship with more than a billion Muslims around the world to be defined by the narrow hatred and nihilistic actions of an exceptionally small minority of Muslims? ~ John O. Brennan
John quotes by John O. Brennan
The point is that market returns are determined by both investment factors - the fundamentals of the initial dividend yield on stocks plus the rate at which their earnings grow - and by speculative factors - the change in the price that investors will pay for each $1 of corporate earnings. ~ John C. Bogle
John quotes by John C. Bogle
For years, I've written narrators who aren't gender-identified. When I do autobiographical stuff, that's different, obviously. But I've always tried to keep my songs as potentially not a man's thing. ~ John Darnielle
John quotes by John Darnielle
I find consolation in a no doubt apocryphal story of Pope John XXIII. Apparently at night he'd pray: "I've done everything I can today for your church. But it's your Church, and I'm going to bed. ~ Greg Boyle
John quotes by Greg Boyle
I'm fairly conservative on social issues, but not extremely conservative and not reactionary. ~ John Howard
John quotes by John Howard
I'm a Christian, and those beliefs occasionally come out in the books. ~ John Grisham
John quotes by John Grisham
There is something wonderful in seeing a wrong-headed majority assailed by truth. ~ John Kenneth Galbraith
John quotes by John Kenneth Galbraith
I've been writing plays since the seventies and only came to moviemaking when I basically realized that I needed some money to pay the rent. I started to watch films with an eye to figuring out how to write them. ~ John Patrick Shanley
John quotes by John Patrick Shanley
Be assured that, as certain as Congress transcends its assigned limits and usurps powers never conferred, or stretches those conferred beyond the proper limits, so surely will the fruits of its usurpation pass into the hands of the Executive. In seeking to become master, it but makes a master in the person of the President. ~ John C. Calhoun
John quotes by John C. Calhoun
For two summers not a blue wing, not a blue warble. I seemed to miss something kindred and precious from my environment
the visible embodiment of the tender sky and wistful soil. What a loss, I said, to coming generations of dwellers in the country
no bluebird in spring! ~ John Burroughs
John quotes by John Burroughs
The price of tapping water into every house is that no one values water any more. ~ John Fowles
John quotes by John Fowles
I grew up listening to a lot of player-piano music in my house and a lot of old Tin Pan Alley songs and American standards. My dad listened to a lot of traditional Irish music and I grew up doing musical theater. So most of the music I was exposed to as a kid was pre-rock n' roll. ~ John C. Reilly
John quotes by John C. Reilly
Neither Muslims nor anyone else truly worships the true God if they reject Jesus as he really is in the Gospels. ~ John Piper
John quotes by John Piper
Slap some bacon on a biscuit and let's go! We're burnin' daylight! ~ John Wayne
John quotes by John Wayne
We are a small, open economy, highly dependent on global flows. It is inevitably a demand that dramatically alters and that is reflected in what we feel here in New Zealand. So there is at its most basic level a limit to what we can do and that is true everywhere. ~ John Key
John quotes by John Key
I don't think of kids as a lower form of the human species. ~ John Hughes
John quotes by John Hughes
How can you ask someone to live in the world and not have something to say about injustice? ~ John Carlos
John quotes by John Carlos
You cannot buy or win happiness. You must choose it. ~ John C. Maxwell
John quotes by John C. Maxwell
Sometimes you feel sad to be left out of a big debate. ~ John King
John quotes by John King
But there were some who went with her willingly, for there are other women who dream of lying with wolves. ~ John Connolly
John quotes by John Connolly
If Robert Benchley and Dorothy Parker had teamed up to write epic fantasy, something like Split Heirs might have resulted. ~ John DeChancie
John quotes by John DeChancie
But, while a man can be restrained by strict law and order, he cannot be changed by law; he cannot be saved by law. Man can only be saved by the grace of God through Jesus Christ. ~ Rousas John Rushdoony
John quotes by Rousas John Rushdoony
John wrote with a very deep love for the human race and a concern for its future. ~ Yoko Ono
John quotes by Yoko Ono
I often wondered why I was attracted to certain landscapes and not others and why my photographs (and depictions by other artists) looked the way they did, Archetypes imprinted on my mind started me on a search ... ~ John Pfahl
John quotes by John Pfahl
Finch turned to the other men and without raising his voice managed to call out to them. ~ John Edward Williams
John quotes by John Edward Williams
Joy rul'd the day, and Love the night. ~ John Dryden
John quotes by John Dryden
See, phrenology is this old Victorian science, which claimed you could determine the dominant traits of a man's personality by studying the bumps on his head. The size and position of these bumps indicated different personality traits. See? Now, /retro-phrenology/ says, why not change a man's personality by hitting him on the head with a hammer, till you raise just the right bumps in the right places!"
"One of us needs a lot more drinks," said Alex. "That's starting to make sense. ~ Simon R. Green
John quotes by Simon R. Green
Middle age, my boy. No memory at all. ~ John Williams
John quotes by John Williams
Words have meaning beyond the obvious. Words have consequences beyond intentions. Civil words align risk and reward of such unknowns. ~ John R. Dallas Jr.
John quotes by John R. Dallas Jr.
I couldn't care less about league tables. I'm more interested in kitchen tables and conference room tables. ~ John Stumpf
John quotes by John Stumpf
I like heroes, and would like to be a hero myself. I suppose we all want that. ~ John Rhys-Davies
John quotes by John Rhys-Davies
While there are many who would say that the race to the moon was hardly green, many others have noted that the photographs brought back from Apollo 8 created the environmental movement. "They fuelled an awareness of the vulnerability of the Earth which still resonates with us today and shapes our behaviour." It was Kennedy who started it all with his pledge: ~ John F. Kennedy
John quotes by John F. Kennedy
The Christian Religion as I understand it is the best. ~ John Adams
John quotes by John Adams
It wouldn't pay to get fresh with a missionary. ~ John Grisham
John quotes by John Grisham
Because of the security reasons for one thing and, second, my wife doesn't like to have her hair blown about. Have you got another silly question? ~ John Prescott
John quotes by John Prescott
The great free nations of the world must take control of our monetary problems if these problems are not to take control of us. ~ John F. Kennedy
John quotes by John F. Kennedy
But the dreams of designing diplomats do not always prosper, and we must trust the future . ~ John Maynard Keynes
John quotes by John Maynard Keynes
I kept the first Rickenbacker I ever got, a little short-scale John Lennon-type model. And I've got a couple of 12-string models, which are really nice, and I've got a Pete Townshend model, which Pete gave me a few years ago. But that's about it. ~ Paul Weller
John quotes by Paul Weller
That a thing is peculiar; is no argument for its being blamable; since the most criminal actions are to a being like man not more unnatural than most of the virtues. ~ John Stuart Mill
John quotes by John Stuart Mill
We are not to reflect on the wickedness of men but to look to the image of God in them, an image which, covering and obliterating their faults, an image which, by its beauty and dignity, should allure us to love and embrace them. ~ John Calvin
John quotes by John Calvin
Virgil had read once that Grandma Moses was a primitive painter because she thought snow was white. The writer said if you really looked at it, snow was hardly ever white. It mostly was a gentler version of the color of the sky - blue, gray, orange in the evenings and mornings, often with purple shadows. When he looked, sure enough, the guy was right, and Grandma Moses had her head up her ass. ~ John Sandford
John quotes by John Sandford
To mistake money for wealth, is the same sort of error as to mistake the highway which may be the easiest way of getting to your house or lands, for the house and lands themselves. ~ John Stuart Mill
John quotes by John Stuart Mill
All blessings are mixed blessings. ~ John Updike
John quotes by John Updike
I strongly wish for what I faintly hope; like the daydreams of melancholy men, I think and think in things impossible, yet love to wander in that golden maze. ~ John Dryden
John quotes by John Dryden
Most films, it doesn't matter if you see them or not. ~ John Malkovich
John quotes by John Malkovich
Love's Prayer If Heaven would hear my prayer, My dearest wish would be, Thy sorrows not to share But take them all on me; If Heaven would hear my prayer. I'd beg with prayers and sighs That never a tear might flow From out thy lovely eyes, If Heaven might grant it so; Mine be the tears and sighs. No cloud thy brow should cover, But smiles each other chase From lips to eyes all over Thy sweet and sunny face; The clouds my heart should cover. That all thy path be light Let darkness fall on me; If all thy days be bright, Mine black as night could be; My love would light my night. For thou art more than life, And if our fate should set Life and my love at strife, How could I then forget I love thee more than life? ~ John Hay
John quotes by John Hay
Why should the brave Spanish soldiers brag? The sunne never sets in the Spanish dominions, but ever shineth on one part or other we have conquered for our king. ~ John Smith
John quotes by John Smith
Law is good, proper, and essential in its place, but law can save no man, nor can law remake man and society. ~ Rousas John Rushdoony
John quotes by Rousas John Rushdoony
