I'm glad I did it, partly because it was worth it, but mostly because I shall never have to do it again.
Mark Twain
Image
I think the success of 'Downton' is partly because there are effectively 18 leading characters, all given equal importance, so it's enormously involving on many levels. But also, it's a new story. It's not like Dickens or Austen, where everyone knows the denouement.
Michelle Dockery
Image
We can't live life perfectly fully, because we sleep eight hours a day! We can live life only partly fully!
Mehmet Murat Ildan
Image
The variation between countries is partly due to cultural and institutional differences, but undoubtedly the economic landscape within each territory is crucial.
Lorna Byrne
Image
Virtue depends partly upon training and partly upon practice you must learn first, and then strengthen your learning by action. If this be true, not only do the doctrines of wisdom help us but the precepts also, which check and banish our emotions by a sort of official decree.
Seneca the Younger
Image
There are a lot of people using technology that are playing to a click with backing vocals already stuck in there on some computerized thing that runs along in time to the show so they have these amazing vocals that are only partly the guys on stage producing them at the time.
James Young
Image
Growing old is partly an inescapable process of accommodation and adjustment.
Kathe Kollwitz
Image
Truth is in all things, even partly, in error.
Jean-Luc Godard
Image
The passion for equality is partly a passion for anonymity: to be one thread of the many which make up a tunic one thread not distinguishable from the others. No one can then point us out, measure us against others and expose our inferiority.
Eric Hoffer
Image
The pleasure we derive from doing favors is partly in the feeling it gives us that we are not altogether worthless. It is a pleasant surprise to ourselves.
Eric Hoffer
Image
I did know Ted Hughes and I partly wrote the book to explain to myself and others the complexities of a marriage that was for six years wonderfully productive of poetry and then ended in tragedy.
Anne Stevenson
Image
There are surprisingly few real students of the game in baseball partly because everybody, my eighty-three year old grandmother included, thinks they learned all there was to know about it at puberty. Baseball is very beguiling that way.
Alvin Dark
Image
I've seen [Lalla Ward] episodes of Doctor Who. They're good, at least partly because the scripts were written by Douglas Adams.
Richard Dawkins
Image
Houses, like people, have personalities, and, like the personalities of people, they are partly molded by all that has happened to them.
Louis Bromfield
Image
Children become more liberal partly as a reaction to their parents and partly through education. Education tends to make people a bit softer.
Ninian Smart
Image
Women have made tons of progress. But we still have a small percentage of the top jobs in any industry, in any nation in the world. I think that's partly because from a very young age, we encourage our boys to lead and we call our girls bossy.
Sheryl Sandberg
Image
Out of the multitude of our sense experiences we take, mentally and arbitrarily, certain repeatedly occurring complexes of sense impression (partly in conjunction with sense impressions which are interpreted as signs for sense experiences of others), and we attribute to them a meaning the meaning of the bodily object.
Albert Einstein
Image
The war in Iraq has been very, very expensive - partly because the Administration tried to keep the apparent costs down. But the benefits have been elusive at best - partly because the ostensible reasons for going war were unconnected with reality - no weapons of mass destruction, no connections with 9/11.
Joseph Stiglitz
Image
Palestine belongs to the Arabs in the same sense that England belongs to the English or France to the French. It is wrong and inhuman to impose the Jews on the Arabs... Surely it would be a crime against humanity to reduce the proud Arabs so that Palestine can be restored to the Jews partly or wholly as their national home
Mahatma Gandhi
Image
Professionally, I have no major goals. That's partly because I'm really flaky. I want things, but I don't go after them. I'd rather they be placed in my lap.
Valerie Bertinelli
Image
Increases in interest rates normally worsen inequality, at least partly by reducing employment and wage growth.
Gerald Epstein
Image
A perfect faith is nowhere to be found, so it follows that all of us are partly unbelievers.
John Calvin
Image
One might think that a boy who was out in the snow for so long would get cold, but Max was not. He was warm, partly because he had on many layers, and partly because boys who are part wolf and part wind do not get cold.
Dave Eggers
Image
Why do we have to have people come from afar to come and grow food for us, or to grow food to sell to us? It is partly because we are almost becoming used to people doing things for us. Like somebody else is going to solve that problem for us. And that to me is very disempowering system.
