Runs Quotes - page 7

I had strong legs that would have made me a good sumo wrestler and I used that to my advantage, but my home runs were achieved by technique. (Sadaharu Oh)
It was the biggest suppression of voting rights in our country's history since Jim Crow. And the thread of race runs from the beginning to the end of my book. View quote
Sidney Blumenthal
My family runs a little art gallery back in Cornwall, so flashy cars and things like that have never really been particularly interesting to me. View quote
Sam Palladio
I lead by example. My kids know what sweat is. They've seen me come home from so many runs and asked, 'What's on your skin? How did you get it?' And I tell them, 'It's from exercise!' So now my son will come home from a bike ride, take off his helmet and say, 'Look, Mom. I'm sweating! I just worked out!' View quote
Summer Sanders
A lot of West Virginia is untouched. It doesn't have as many strip malls, it has these old towns that feel like it used to be how it looked. Charleston has this river that runs through it, and it's really beautiful. View quote
Sam Trammell

Samm Levine
The thing with being on a series that runs that long is that the writers run out of things to do. View quote
Ted Shackelford
In my view, if you have good or bad technique, it doesn't matter. But you will survive if you can adjust your game at international level, you are mentally strong, you know your strengths and how to score runs. View quote
Virender Sehwag
My mind still runs too fast. If we get the wrong fabric or something is stitched the wrong way, I get so angry and so flummoxed that I start spelling my words, just to slow myself down. View quote
William Ivey Long
That is why a thinker like Thoreau said that ‘that government is the best which governs the least.' This means that when people come into possession of political power, the interference with the freedom of people is reduced to a minimum. In other words, a nation that runs its affairs smoothly and effectively without much State interference is truly democratic. Where such a condition is absent, the form of government is democratic in name. View quote
Mahatma Gandhi
For each of us, as for the robin in Michigan or the Salmon in the Miramichi, this is a problem of ecology, of interrelationships, of interdependence. We poison the caddis flies in a stream and the salmon runs dwindle and die. We poison the gnats in a lake and the poison travels from link to link of the food chain and soon the birds of the lake margins become its victims. We spray our elms and the following springs are silent of robin song, not because we sprayed the robins directly but because the poison traveled, step by step, through the now familiar elm leaf-earthworm-robin cycle. These are matters of record, observable, part of the visible world around us. They reflect the web of life - or death - that scientists know as ecology. (Rachel Carson)
My mind is ever toying with economic ideas and relationships. Great novelists and poets have reported occasional abandonment by their muse. The well runs dry, permanently or on occasion. Mine has been a better luck. As I have written elsewhere, there is a vast inventory of topics and problems floating in the back of my mind. More perhaps than I shall ever have occasion to write up for publication. A result that I notice in statistical mechanics may someday help resolve a problem in finance. View quote
Paul Samuelson
The task of the positional player is systematically to accumulate slight advantages and try to convert temporary advantages into permanent ones, otherwise the player with the better position runs the risk of losing it. View quote
Wilhelm Steinitz
I'm dealing with soft targets, and it's just strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee. View quote
Charlie Sheen
I'm dealing with fools and trolls and soft targets. It's just strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee. I don't have time for these clowns. View quote
Charlie Sheen
Ability is the art of getting credit for all the home runs somebody else hits. View quote
Casey Stengel
I don't like them fellas who drive in two runs and let in three. View quote
Casey Stengel
Managing is getting paid for home runs someone else runs. View quote

Olaf: Of course I'm trying to trick you! That's the way of the world, Baudelaires. Everyone runs around with their secrets and their schemes, trying to outwit everyone else. Ishmael outwitted me, and put me in this cage. But I know how to outwit him and all his islander friends. If you let me out, I can be king of Olaf-Land, and you three can be my new henchfolk. View quote
Daniel Handler
If the fork is not removed when the spider has arrived it seems to have the same charm as any fly: for the spider seizes it, embraces it, and runs about on the legs of the fork as often as it is made to sound, never seeming to learn by experience that other things may buzz besides its natural food. View quote
C. V. Boys
And they say he's too young to surrender And they cry out, and they call him by name. Their graffiti tells how he's remembered. Still, the River runs on just the same. Run River, run. (River Phoenix)
He who runs from God in the morning will scarcely find Him the rest of the day. View quote
John Bunyan
As for the matter of my judicial philosophy, I didn't have one- and didn't want one. A philosophy that is imposed from without instead of arising organically from day-to-day engagement with the law isn't worth having. Such a philosophy runs the risk of becoming an ideology, and I'd spent much of my adult life shying away from abstract ideological theories that served only to obscure the reality of life as it's lived. View quote
Clarence Thomas
My book is traditional. It runs counter to the post-modern spirit. View quote
David Guterson
The reason for the lack of business in this House is perfectly clear and it is not the responsibility of this House to deal with the matter. The Taoiseach and the cabal that runs Fine Gael have decided that they will take over the role previously held by Fianna Fáil as the slightly constitutional party. They have decided to destroy the Seanad by refusing to refer legislation to it. View quote
