Sting Quotes - page 4

Venomous animals, when they bite or sting, inflict a wound, and instil into it a drop or more of liquor, which infects the fluid of the nerves, and by this means inflames the membranes: hereupon a swelling arises, sometimes to a degree of mortification, which spreads to the neighbouring parts. (Richard Mead)
On his neglect of being a rock star: There's a certain discipline about being a rock star, and I don't have it. If I was a rock star, I wouldn't have let a photographer in here, dressed like this. I'd have been down the hairdressers. You try and get Sting to do something without 15 advisors. These boys are like Russian princes... View quote
Chris Rea
Another good touch. What do we charge for a regular martini?” "Ninty-five cents-ninety-eight cents with tax. What's it do to the tips?” Builds them. There aren't as many dimes and nickels around, so they usually leave two-bits. The two cents' change is a sting to conscience.”. View quote

The next time you feel rejection's sting, remember God's words to Samuel: "It is not you they have rejected, but they have rejected me." (1 Sam. 8:7) View quote
Beth Moore
One thing I've learned - and I've said this to Republicans and Democrats - is, bees cannot sting and make honey at the same time. They have to make a choice. Either they are going to be a stinger or a honey-maker, and I contend that honey is a symbol of legislation and, the nuclear language used by members is the stinger, and you can't do both. View quote
Emanuel Cleaver
I can't stand quitters. My mother is a very strong, determined woman. I was peeling onions when I was seven, but I walked off when my eyes began to sting. She said to me, 'You start something and you finish it', and that stuck with me. I'm persistent. View quote
Estelle
Early, when I first started wrestling, I wanted to be a combination of Sting and the Ultimate Warrior: The Ultimate Warrior's craziness and weird personality and Sting's coolness and the way he carried himself to the ring. But then later on, when it came to physicality and athleticism, Shawn Michaels topped the cake. View quote
Jeff Hardy
The rain forest has Sting. Now Siberia has Jack Dee. Someone had to draw the short straw. In this case it was the rain forest. View quote
Jack Dee
God is more powerful than anybody's past, no matter how wretched. He can make us forget - not by erasing the memory but by taking the sting and paralyzing effect out of it. View quote
Jim Cymbala
I am very scared of wasps; my cousin was stung in the eye once. (Missy Elliott)
The North understand it better - they have told us for twenty years that their object was to pen up slavery within its present limits - surround it with a border of free States, and like the scorpion surrounded with fire, they will make it sting itself to death. View quote
Robert Toombs
If the Police could do a reunion... One of the biggest jerks I ever met was Sting. If he can do it, then anyone can do it. It's not that big a deal. And the Eagles! They did it! They severely hated each other. It's just rock and roll. View quote
Steven Adler
Ryan is my bridge to the past, to memories that lose some of their sting when he recounts them. View quote
Tatum O'Neal

Victoria Wood
May I forget what ought to be forgotten; and recall, unfailing, all that ought to be recalled, each kindly thing, forgetting what might sting. View quote
Mary Caroline Davies
You know, failure hurts. Any kind of failure stings. If you live in the sting, you will - undoubtedly - fail. My way of getting past the sting is to say no, I'm just not going to let this get me down. View quote
Sonia Sotomayor
He was wounded. I suppose some sharp thing in me wanted to sting him, for making me need him now. After he'd once cut me to the edge of what a soul will bear. But that was senseless.... I looked at this grown-up Loyd and tried to make sense of him, seeing clearly that he was too sweet to survive around me. I would go to my grave expecting the weapon in the empty hand. View quote
Barbara Kingsolver
Like the bee, we distill poison from honey for our self-defense--what happens to the bee if it uses its sting is well known. View quote
Dag Hammarskjöld
I have a very eclectic iPod. So I've got my cardio people - so it's anything from Beyonce to some Jay-Z to Janelle Monae, her song 'Tightrope,' that's a good cardio song. And then I've got Sting. I've got Mary J. Blige. I've got The Beatles. I've got Michael Jackson. I try to pick the songs that I personally love. View quote
Michelle Obama
Sting I've seen a few times, and he really inspired me in the sense that he breaks the songs down a lot and will take a different approach. He'll take an acoustic approach to them; he'll rearrange them for the live stage. (Shania Twain)
The very serpents bite their tails; the bees forget to sting, For a language so celestial setteth up a wondering. And the touch of absent mindedness is more than any line, Since direction counts for nothing when the gods set up a sign. View quote
Nathalia Crane
Men, this stuff that some sources sling around about America wanting out of this war, not wanting to fight, is a crock of bullshit. Americans love to fight, traditionally. All real Americans love the sting and clash of battle. You are here today for three reasons. First, because you are here to defend your homes and your loved ones. Second, you are here for your own self respect, because you would not want to be anywhere else. Third, you are here because you are real men and all real men like to fight. View quote
George S. Patton
O death where is thy sting? The man is never on time... View quote
William S. Burroughs
There is only one belief that can rob death of its sting and the grave of its victory.. For without that you cannot be born again. View quote
