We have collected the best Meaningful Quotes by famous authors including Maya Moore, Jean-Philippe Courtois, Paul Ricoeur, Ryan Hurd, Irwin Thomas and many others, we hope that among them you will find the right thought.
I’ve been engaged in so many meaningful things. I’ve been full with family and ministry things.
Maya Moore
We want to make Bing more than just search: to be the key intelligence engine behind the phone, get people to navigate, and present information in a meaningful way.
Jean-Philippe Courtois
On a cosmic scale, our life is insignificant, yet this brief period when we appear in the world is the time in which all meaningful questions arise.
Paul Ricoeur
Certain songs mean a lot to you, and they don’t really resonate with anybody else, and the ones you don’t necessarily love are the ones that become really meaningful to a lot of other people.
Ryan Hurd
I find great beauty in songs with a creative interpretation, but most people generally don’t get that, and go for the simple songs, but I prefer something a bit more complicated, which is more meaningful to the creator.
Irwin Thomas
If you look at the most meaningful science fiction, it didn’t come from watching other films. We seem to be in a place now where filmmakers make films based on other films because that’s where the stimuli and influence comes from.
Neill Blomkamp
Over the years, I have found a way to use this business and this platform to talk with people about important issues. To the degree you can bring a sense of purpose to what you do, it makes the relationship with the customer that much more meaningful and purposeful.
Kenneth Cole
I mean, Trump’s Oval Office is like Grand Central Station. People try briefing him and someone comes in and interrupts him. People just sort of walk in without being previously announced in any meaningful way.
Maggie Haberman
A book reaches a different crowd of people. There are 50 different stories of very different individuals participating in their communities either locally or nationally in meaningful ways.
Joan Blades
Old friends pass away, new friends appear. It is just like the days. An old day passes, a new day arrives. The important thing is to make it meaningful: a meaningful friend – or a meaningful day.
Dalai Lama
People think about history as all grand gestures or significant moments, but the most valuable lesson we can learn is the enduring legacy of the small, meaningful things in life.
Deborah Harkness
As an American, I would really like it if, just for once, Pelosi, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., and ‘The Squad’ would focus on proposing and shepherding meaningful policy reforms for the country, wouldn’t you?
Trish Regan
We don’t want to make little pop culture ephemera or confections, that sort of thing, and so ‘ParaNorman’ like ‘Coraline’ has something meaningful to say.
Travis Knight
If there is a race, it is one to bring the benefits of genomes to human therapeutics. We all want to get there. We all want people to have much more meaningful and productive lives as they age.
Craig Venter
My conscious decision has always been to do work that’s meaningful and play characters that give something to the film.
Huma Qureshi
I have developed my most meaningful relationships online. None of them live within driving distance. None of them are about my own age.
Aaron Swartz
But you are absolutely right that when the international community decides to help in a meaningful manner a country like Afghanistan, then coordination between the various actors that are involved in these processes is very, very difficult indeed.
Lakhdar Brahimi
Campuses should be places where students are able to make mistakes without fear of retribution. If there is no margin for error, it is impossible to receive a meaningful education.
Kirsten Powers
Coach Amodu without question is a colossus and football icon and has over the years made meaningful contribution to Nigerian football both at club and international levels.
Alex Iwobi
I have a lot of cultural references that have amassed in my brain like shrapnel over the years that are meaningful to me.
John Hodgman
To achieve policy stability and certainty, we need to establish a meaningful price on carbon and cut the billions of dollars spent each year on fossil-fuel subsidies, along with well-structured financial tools and rules.
Paul Polman
I genuinely do want the world to change in a positive way, but I wouldn’t call myself an activist, you know? I’m an entertainer who engages with activism because it feels really meaningful for me.
Olly Alexander
I don’t believe that art is just for entertainment. I want to create art that is meaningful in some way.
Carrie Coon
The Saudis helped the U.S. ensure that the Russians never got a meaningful foothold in the Middle East.
Chris Murphy
For an athlete myself, it is especially meaningful for our country to host an Olympics. Every athlete hopes to participate in an Olympics, so I still can’t believe the games of dreams is going to take place in Korea.
Kim Yuna
When you don’t have much money, cooking can be incredibly reassuring. You feel like you’re doing meaningful work.
Alice Waters
Triple H and I have wrestled many, many times, but never on a real meaningful stage. I would really enjoy that.
John Layfield
I try to give a voice to teens, who might be afraid to speak up about difficult issues, and a platform for parents and teachers to have frank, meaningful discussions with those young people.
Sharon Draper
Having the chance to be able to fight for something really meaningful – races, championships – that’s the absolute priority.
Daniel Ricciardo
I became aware that all sounds can make meaningful language.
Karlheinz Stockhausen
Light is meaningful only in relation to darkness, and truth presupposes error. It is these mingled opposites which people our life, which make it pungent, intoxicating. We only exist in terms of this conflict, in the zone where black and white clash.
Louis Aragon
The key to stopping the hard-right nationalist forces poised to pounce on Brexit isn’t going to be finessing a reprieve for the status quo. It’s about actively creating consent for meaningful change, and expanding democratic participation beyond a second referendum.
Ash Sarkar
The good life consists in deriving happiness by using your signature strengths every day in the main realms of living. The meaningful life adds one more component: using these same strengths to forward knowledge, power or goodness.
Martin Seligman
The commitment to working at poetry is important because a poet is a maker, and a poem is a made thing. We have to honor our feelings by working to transform them into something meaningful and lasting.
Edward Hirsch
The problem for new businesses isn’t corporate taxes. Anyone who has actually started a new business knows you don’t make enough money for years to pay any meaningful tax on it.
Glenn Kelman
Our children are our most cherished possession. In their early years, we must make sure they get a healthy start in life. They must receive the right food for a healthy body, the right education for a bright and inquiring mind – and the equal opportunity for a meaningful job.
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
To effect meaningful change, you have to look at who’s in the boardrooms, who has the financial control of businesses, and who has the greenlighting power.
Nancy Dubuc
That’s one of the best things about my job: I get to tell the world about the innovative and meaningful things our people are doing every day.
Doug McMillon
The great lesson I get from ‘Moby-Dick’ is that when the times are bad, when there is great foreboding, there are still ways to go about living. It’s through Ishmael that I find a kind of overall cosmic approach to a meaningful life in this meaningless world.
Nathaniel Philbrick
And (cue music swell) motherhood turned out to be the most meaningful thing I’ve ever done with my life. Really.
Nia Vardalos
Early in my career, I was really spoiled with a beautiful project. I got such a good start that I thought, ‘Why would I ever take a step back?’ Why would I take on something that wasn’t meaningful – to me, if nobody else – and powerful and groundbreaking?
America Ferrera
The Edmund Pettus Bridge – which in 2013 was declared a National Historic Landmark – isn’t symbolic of the Civil War in a meaningful way. It is, however, the modern-day battlefield where the voting rights movement was born.
Douglas Brinkley
I am well aware that, if my endorsement is meaningful and helpful to Huckabee, it is because my father devoted so much of his life and ministry to cultural reform.
Jerry Falwell, Jr.
I never considered myself an entertainer. I always felt I had to be connected to something meaningful, or it wasn’t worth doing.
Donovan
It’s not very hard to be clever. It’s far harder to be simple, obvious, and meaningful.
Jake Barton
I like my name. My mom named me after a song by the 1970s group Bread. So, it’s meaningful, and I like the song. It’s a love song – kind of – but it’s kind of depressing and dark.
Aubrey Plaza
We already spend too few days in Congress working on meaningful legislation; we simply can’t afford to waste more time on legislation that doesn’t move the needle to improve the lives of everyday Americans.
John Delaney
I spent a good part of the nineties roaming the Earth writing about conflict. It was very grueling. I was beginning to find this way of life was, wow, addictive and deeply meaningful.
Janine di Giovanni
Faith in the Lord Jesus Christ is the foundation upon which sincere and meaningful repentance must be built. If we truly seek to put away sin, we must first look to Him who is the Author of our salvation.
Ezra Taft Benson
Over the years, EpiPen’s manufacturer, Mylan, made meaningful modifications to its auto-injector pen. The company maintains some important intellectual property around these revisions. Mylan rightly argues that these features differentiate its device.
Scott Gottlieb
Indeed, in the present climate of mistrust of institutions, many people who yearn for a more meaningful and fulfilling life would regard the church as an unlikely place to go for guidance.
Hugh Mackay
The poem is a little myth of man’s capacity of making life meaningful. And in the end, the poem is not a thing we see-it is, rather, a light by which we may see-and what we see is life.
Robert Penn Warren
My time with my father would be very meaningful, but also very short.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan
We cannot expect to keep our nation’s secrets secure – or provide meaningful oversight for our intelligence agencies – if proper classification of our country’s secrets is as likely as a coin flip.
Dianne Feinstein
Whenever I go to any particular event, people are shocked that I’m a fighter. To be a fighter, I have to look a certain way, and to be an actress, I have to look a certain way. I have to change that; I’ve joined acting to do meaningful cinema and to show that there is much more than glamour that actresses can offer.
Ritika Singh
The Supreme Court has in place a legal structure which protects abortion rights in this country, and something has got to be done to change that before we can put in place truly meaningful protection for the unborn.
Charles T. Canady
It is a sign of the times that the absence of meaningful ID requirements in many states leaves our voting process vulnerable to fraud and allows legal votes to be cancelled out by illegally cast ballots.
Virgil Goode
I’m not an economist, but I have spent time around thousands of small-business owners and investors, and I remain skeptical – despite the best intentions of the Fed – that even lower interest rates can make a meaningful dent in our unemployment problem.
John Delaney
There is a tension between parliamentary and popular sovereignty. A lively, meaningful democracy would achieve a balance between the two.
George Monbiot
I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don’t think that way. I still don’t have a ‘bliss’ to follow. For people like me – I suspect that’s most people – holding out for a ‘dream’ or a ‘passion’ is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That’s hard enough… but it’s enough.
Jane Pauley
‘Teen Vogue’ is so much more than just a magazine. It’s so much more than just a website. It’s so much more than social. It’s really about the audience, and so we’re going to continue to innovate and continue to find new ways of reaching this audience in meaningful ways.
Elaine Welteroth
I am keen on doing the regular Hindi film, but I want strong, meaningful roles in my repertoire, which I get down South. I can devote equal time and attention to both, so I don’t see the clash.
Tabu
You know you’ve reached true success the day you become truly humble. That’s the day you stop needing to prove to the world – and yourself – that you’ve accomplished something meaningful.
Naveen Jain
I tend to not discriminate when it comes to people I can learn from. Basically, if someone has built a meaningful business in software, technology or media, faced disruption and adversity, and overcame underdog status, I want to know how they did it.
Aaron Levie
I suppose for a very long time I’ve been trying to understand how it is that people might make sense out of their lives and make meaning and make their lives meaningful in the face of the trouble that life brings.
Jordan Peterson
There is no meaningful or persuasive constitutional distinction between semiautomatic handguns and semiautomatic rifles.
Brett Kavanaugh
I want to express what’s meaningful. I’m not into gimmicks. I want to make truthful music that’s invigorating, maintains a cutting edge, takes on different shades.
Jason Moran
Choice is more than picking ‘x’ over ‘y.’ It is a responsibility to separate the meaningful and the uplifting from the trivial and the disheartening. It is the only tool we have that enables us to go from who we are today to who we want to be tomorrow.
Sheena Iyengar
There’s something about being under-rested and knowing that the situation is going to remain that way for quite some time that makes things more meaningful.
Henry Rollins
How your social network – the people that you know, or in your community – understand or value a work can be… a tremendously relevant indicator of how important or meaningful it’s going to be to you.
David Weinberger
Look everywhere you can to cut a little bit from your expenses. It will all add up to a meaningful sum.
Suze Orman
When my father spoke, it was to say something meaningful.
Ken Venturi
I knew that I wanted to be in parallel cinema and do meaningful films.
Rohini Hattangadi
An AI utopia is a place where people have income guaranteed because their machines are working for them. Instead, they focus on activities that they want to do, that are personally meaningful like art or, where human creativity still shines, in science.
Oren Etzioni
Staying connected to the game and working for ESPN are very meaningful to me.
Steve Young
Because of recent improvements in the accuracy of theoretical predictions based on large scale ab initio quantum mechanical calculations, meaningful comparisons between theoretical and experimental findings have become possible.
Yuan T. Lee
Most people I know that have work that is very meaningful to them pay the price of having to work all the time.
Terry Gross
I guess I worry about weird existential things, like how do we spend our final act. This is a very emotional question. I can’t answer it without crying. I think, You’re 56 years old, what did you do? You raised two good kids. What am I going to do now that is as meaningful as that? I don’t know the answer yet.
Ellen Barkin
I made a vow to myself while I was a hostage that if I were lucky enough to live and to get out of Somalia, I would do something meaningful with my life – and specifically something that would be meaningful in the country where I’d lost my freedom.
Amanda Lindhout
I’m a novelist who read a lot as a kid. When you grow up on books and then grow up to write books, famous authors are a lot more meaningful to you than TV and movie stars.
Claire Scovell LaZebnik
I’m always for constructive conversation, meaningful conversation, not just words, but conversation.
J. B. Bickerstaff
With ‘Detroit,’ we realized that we wanted to create an experience that could be meaningful.
David Cage
I think progressives understand that we are Americans at the same time as we are global citizens. We are interested first and foremost in creating peace and prosperity here at home, but we aren’t blind to the fact that injustice anywhere in the world is meaningful, important, and worth thinking about.
Chris Murphy
If you try and kind of focus on hope, but you know what it’s like to be in the dark, then hope is more meaningful.
Arca
Hopefully, at the end of all this, my music is going to be used as a tool to help people have meaningful conversations and meaningful relationships with themselves and with other people and with God.
Andy Mineo
Several people have told me that one of the most meaningful events they could attend would be something at the White House with their children.
Hillary Clinton
I really like Akshay Kumar. He can be funny and weird while at the same time. His films are always interesting and meaningful.
Kiku Sharda
I’ve heard people say South Africans are arrogant, that they act no differently from their colonial masters. That needs to change. It’s in your business interest as an entrepreneur to form meaningful partnerships. That’s how you do well for your shareholders.
Patrice Motsepe
When you describe a character’s dream, it has to be sharper than reality in some way and more meaningful. It has to somehow speak to plot, character, and all the rest.
Jeff Vandermeer
A good game gives us meaningful accomplishment – clear achievement that we don’t necessarily get from real life. In a game, you’ve beaten level four, the boss monster is dead, you have a badge, and now you have a super laser sword. Real life isn’t like that, right?
Jesse Schell
I did 75 films. I didn’t take a break; I didn’t spend my money. I have my savings, so when you’re not working for money anymore, then you should find things that are meaningful and not just be like, ‘OK, that’s another day gone.’
Maggie Cheung
The Chinese public is deeply nationalist, which matters to China’s unelected political leadership as much as U.S. nationalism does to American politicians. As China becomes the world’s largest economy, there is meaningful public pressure for its power status to advance in parallel. Any alternative would be humiliating.
Noah Feldman
Hence it is that the shape of something is especially meaningful.
James J. Gibson
There is, however, a change going on in the world. There’s far more interest in drawing now than there has been in a long, long time. Schools are beginning to teach drawing again in a serious and meaningful way.
Leonard Baskin
As a member of Congress, and a parent, I understand the importance of ensuring that families are able to provide a meaningful and proper burial for their loved ones.
Jon Porter
The second thing we did was said, OK, we’ve now identified the risk, but what do you want to do with the money? Because it’s not enough to have risk; you’ve got to have a meaningful use for the money we give you.
Michael Chertoff
Corporate houses and big companies can be meaningful distribution channels for start-ups.
Steve Jurvetson
I wish I was the kind of writer who would go to a war zone and write about something that’s meaningful and important to people, but that’s not my area of coverage.
Jonathan Ames
Life is difficult. Not just for me or other ALS patients. Life is difficult for everyone. Finding ways to make life meaningful and purposeful and rewarding, doing the activities that you love and spending time with the people that you love – I think that’s the meaning of this human experience.
Steve Gleason
I grew up in a family with three siblings. My parents were always very supportive and encouraging. It was important for them that we have meaningful and satisfying professions, but they didn’t care as much about success and achievement.
Maryam Mirzakhani
I think writing, or any form of art-making, is a way to prepare for not being here. Not that we can. No amount of preparing can really ready us, in a meaningful way, for the great void that awaits us all.
Laura van den Berg
My goal as a puzzle designer is to create a meaningful experience for the player, not just ‘I solved it.’
Scott Kim
Ordinary language carries with it conditions of meaning which it is easy to recognize by classifying the contexts in which the expression is employed in a meaningful manner.
Paul Ricoeur
I have conservative relatives. I maintain some relationships with some conservatives going back to the 1990s… Not in any meaningful way.
David Brock
I’d like to think life has improved since 1850, despite the long hours we all seem to spend slaving over hot computers, but the psychological journeys remain the same – the search for love, identity, a meaningful place in the world.
Meg Rosoff
I think there is an enormous sea change happening in the global workforce. It has a lot to do with globalization. I think that people used to have a hope for a career or meaningful employment, and its been reduced to internships, part-time work or just grossly underpaid work.
Dan Gilroy
I’m looking for conversations that will be meaningful with people that want to have meaningful connections with an audience.
George Stroumboulopoulos
On Anzac Day, coffee and jokes with a Turk might be the most meaningful and fair dinkum dawn service you could possibly have.
Michael Leunig
This award is meaningful because it comes from my fellow dealers in celluloid.
Alfred Hitchcock
I’m very proud of all my children. They all have Christian families; they read the Bible; they pray; the kids go to Sunday school; they know the Ten Commandments by heart. That’s my greatest honor, and I couldn’t do anything to glorify God that could surpass that. That’s very meaningful.
Robert H. Schuller
Meaningful work is very different than drudgery.
Mike Rowe
To me, the job of the artist is to provide a useful and intelligent vocabulary for the world to be able to articulate feelings they experience everyday, and otherwise wouldn’t have the means to express in a meaningful and useful way.
Mos Def
Causes brings over 140 million people together to form the world’s largest giving community. The belief that everyone has something to give is at the core of what we do; people just need a little inspiration, and to know that whoever they are, there is something meaningful they can do.
Joe Green
I don’t think the arts would have been as meaningful to me if I hadn’t grown up in Harlem.
Ruby Dee
I’ve always wanted something that the message is meaningful to me. I think about all these diversified personalities, people, and countries that I play. I’m simple, and I want to be able to sing my songs to anybody.
Andrae Crouch
Most believers struggle to really believe in the supernatural as a meaningful, deterministic reality except during moments when they are drawn to it, perhaps during a worship service or while reading a novel like ‘Adam.’ Being drawn to this truth is the first step to living a life in accordance to this truth.
Ted Dekker
Atheists should point out that life without God can be meaningful, moral and happy.
Julian Baggini
The people in your life are important. Meaningful relationships with those people are very important.
Ed Bradley
The ‘AEW’ women’s championship will be the cornerstone of the women’s division. The championship will be treated with the utmost respect and prestige. We hope to inspire future female wrestlers to dream of holding such a meaningful title.
Brandi Rhodes
When it comes down to it, you win a bunch of games or maybe things don’t go the way that you plan – those relationships that you build with the guys around you last a lifetime. To me, that’s meaningful.
Marcus Mariota
There is no better way to create a confident and meaningful connection with someone than to be self-assured and true to yourself. Remember, you want someone to truly appreciate you for you, not for your best side. There is only one you. Be proud of that and own it.
Whitney Wolfe Herd
As the novelty of wearable tech gives way to necessity – and, later, as wearable tech becomes embedded tech – will we be deprived of the chance to pause, reflect, and engage in meaningful, substantive conversations? How will our inner lives and ties to those around us change?
Klaus Schwab
All one needs to do is read – books, magazines, research the Internet – and pay attention to the influencers in their lives to discover the myriad people of strong moral character who have and still are making positive, meaningful contributions and differences in our world.
Zig Ziglar
I find football much more powerful than what grown-ups want it to be. It’s a community to me; it’s something very meaningful in the life of many, many people and especially the youth. And, therefore, I think it can bring social cohesion.
Vincent Kompany
It’s like jazz: You learn the rules to break them – as long as you can break them in a meaningful way.
Ryan North
I’ve always wanted to be part of stories about social justice – urgent, meaningful, substantial dramas.
Jeremy Strong
The corner of the ‘food media’ that I think is troublesome to me is the shows on TV that don’t really have a point or don’t have a lesson to be learned. If you don’t have a point, or if there’s not some part of it that is meaningful and can change someone’s life, in my old age, I’m just not into it.
Andrew Zimmern
I’m hungry as an artist to find opportunities to contribute to the world in a more meaningful way than just numbing people through entertainment.
O. T. Fagbenle
The first condition of education is being able to put someone to wholesome and meaningful work.
John Ruskin
It’s always inspiring to me to meet people who feel that they can make a difference in the world. That’s their motive, that’s their passion… I think that’s what makes your life meaningful, that’s what fills your own heart and that’s what gives you purpose.
Maria Shriver
I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society.
Al Seckel
I do pick my projects very meticulously. I want my projects to be meaningful.
Shohreh Aghdashloo
It seems to me every one of us is doing something meaningful for this world.
Yani Tseng
I’m not an evangelist Christian at all. I can’t try to convert anybody. It’s not in me to do that. But my faith has given me such an appreciation of people and meaningful relationships, and a world view which I didn’t have before. And although I will fail every day, it gives me something to aspire to.
David Suchet
It’s not about being super famous. My first goal was to do what I’m passionate about – dance, hip hop, and R&B – but I also wanted to support my family and friends and create opportunities for me and people I believe in. It makes everything I do meaningful.
Jay Park
Obama and the Democrats’ preposterous argument is that we are just one more big tax increase away from solving our economic problems. The inescapable conclusion, however, is that the primary driver of the short-term deficit is not tax cuts but the lack of any meaningful economic growth over the last half decade.
Bob Beauprez
Before I turned 30, through a lot of hard work and support, I won many badminton titles. But after turning 30, Lin Dan should change that mindset and start in a new direction and do things that are more meaningful.
Lin Dan
If you truly want to find a meaningful relationship, you’ve got to find yourself first and learn to be confident in your own skin. Don’t sacrifice anything about who you are to be with someone. That’s setting yourself up for failure.
Whitney Wolfe Herd
I have an almost entirely written correspondence with a few friends of mine who are really busy. We exchange quite long and sometimes quite whimsical, sometimes quite meaningful, sometimes silly letters.
Sue Perkins
The energy transition demands a clear vision of the steps that need to be taken and a stable, meaningful regulatory framework. It appears important to us to awaken public opinion to the fact that this transition will necessarily come at a cost and will, at least in the short term, involve a price increase.
Christophe de Margerie
Cheap natural gas is a big stimulus to petrochemical production and a meaningful one for all U.S. manufacturing.
Roger Altman
As an artist, I am here to get involved in meaningful films. But that does not mean only films like ‘Arabikkadha’ should be made. If you give an overdose of such films, the subject will become jaded.
Sreenivasan
Because of technologies from space exploration, we can begin to understand our world’s origins, and our lives are improving. These are the reasons why dedicating a life to the sciences and space exploration is so meaningful and rewarding.
Emily Calandrelli
Make food a very incidental part of your life by filling your life so full of meaningful things that you’ll hardly have time to think about food.
Peace Pilgrim
The opposition’s role is meaningful when voters elect an opposition with an elected mandate to speak for Singaporeans.
Pritam Singh
My father never really encouraged me or even took an interest after I walked away from the family business. No one did except my mother and my grandfather. To be truthful, I cannot remember one meaningful conversation I had with my father.
Juergen Teller
We package everything as a product so we can derive income from it. Then we can occupy ourselves with higher-order psychological lifestyle things. This is a very new issue. Money still matters, but other factors have joined the status game – like how interesting, how meaningful your work is.
Tino Sehgal
Do not let your grand ambitions stand in the way of small but meaningful accomplishments.
Bryant H. McGill
If you can figure out a way for people at all different stages of life to believe that they’re all meaningful to each other, then yes, WeLive can work anywhere.
Miguel McKelvey
Our message of ensuring every Hoosier has access to a quality education that turns into a good paying job, that ultimately leads to a meaningful career with access to affordable health care, is resonating.
Todd Young
On a meaningful day, everything you wear can have meaning. It becomes what I wore That Day, whether that day is a beginning or an end.
Faith Salie
Good writing is really meaningful, and it’s one of the – it’s still one of the best tools we have to get and capture people’s attention.
Robin Sloan
Creating deep and meaningful change in this country takes time – years and sometimes decades.
Chris Murphy
Contracts are not a holy relic in football. You can like this attitude or not, but it’s the truth. Sometimes you have to think about if it is meaningful to try out a new impulse.
Robert Lewandowski
Some people like to paint trees. I like to paint love. I find it more meaningful than painting trees.
Robert Indiana
Skills that are employable or marketable, education, having a stake or meaningful role in society, not being marginalized – all of those things are very important.
Carl Hart
We’re focused on growing the pie so the artists can go back to making a meaningful amount of money.
Daniel Ek
We believe that we can use interactivity to create meaningful games. Games with emotions and virtual actors telling you something. Resonating with you as a human being, giving you food for thought. We don’t need to deliver messages or whatever, just need to create a moment in time that will leave an imprint in your mind.
David Cage
Children frequently sing meaningful phrases to themselves over and over again before they learn to make a distinction between singing and saying.
David Antin
Technology is a double-edged sword for sure. You can use it to get in touch with somebody, to get to know somebody, to have really meaningful conversations, or you can use it to hurt and bully people.
Shannon Purser
There are other ways of finding satisfaction, recipes for human happiness, enjoyment, dignified and meaningful, gratifying life, than increased consumption that increases production.
Zygmunt Bauman
Hollywood, it seems, recognizes black film and black filmmakers, but like a distant lover, never close enough or long enough to forge a meaningful relationship.
Joe Morton
A pig has a plow on the end of its nose because it does meaningful work with it. It is built to dig and create soil disturbance, something it can’t do in a concentrated feeding environment. The omnivore has historically been a salvage operation for food scraps around the homestead.
Joel Salatin
Humans are nervous, touchy creatures and can be easily offended. Many are deeply insecure. They become focused and energized by taking offence; it makes them feel meaningful and alive.
Michael Leunig
It would be meaningful if ‘Taxi Driver’ were to reinterpret cases that were unresolved in the past. A 16-episode miniseries was too short to contain all the stories that we could have told.
Lee Je-hoon
I think that’s the one thing we all hope for in this life is we leave something of a legacy, that’s meaningful to someone else, when we leave here.
Michael McDonald
You can be beautiful and you can be smart and you can make a meaningful difference in your community, in your country, in your world.
Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters
Constant rotation, based on a 19th century Army model, prevents spouses from putting down roots and gaining meaningful deployment.
Robert Wilkie
The quality of festival Q&As is often a matter of chance. Sometimes the lights come up on movies I loved, and not a single meaningful question is asked. Sometimes it’s the opposite.
Yance Ford
I have learned that there is more power in a good strong hug than in a thousand meaningful words.
Ann Hood
People in this country should be able to find economic opportunity and meaningful jobs in the places they grew up.
Ro Khanna
I want to do something that is meaningful. After working for all these years, I want to do better as an actor now and choose roles that are challenging and satisfying.
Payal Rohatgi
A text may be superbly written, exquisitely subtle, deeply meaningful, but still seem like a luxury extra, something we add to the already well-stocked store of our reading experience.
Michel Faber
I want to bring that old soul back, the meaningful lyrics and all of that. And I can’t think of a better way to do that than through Motown.
La’Porsha Renae
I do think that Social Security reform needs to be bipartisan, and we are going to have to reach that in this debate at some time before we can find really meaningful reform.
Judy Biggert
Without turning prison life into something more meaningful, prisoners are more likely to reoffend.
Susan Hill
If something is functional, you no longer think about it. I care about how meaningful things are.
Marcel Wanders
Obviously, I think the most meaningful thing is winning, and winning the World Series, but the way you help your team, if that is stealing bases and you can be the best at it, I think that’s pretty cool.
Trea Turner
You can try to take sorrow and make it into something enduring, meaningful and beautiful. I always feel guilty that this is my job, that I get to do this.
Alice Hoffman
I think parents today are looking for meaningful things for their kid. It’s about feeding them something with meaning.
Ziggy Marley
People have to talk about something just to keep their voice boxes in working order so they’ll have good voice boxes in case there’s ever anything really meaningful to say.
Kurt Vonnegut
The longer I go about living, I see it’s the relationship that is most meaningful.
William Shatner
I want to highlight this, that to make meaningful cinema, we really need an enabling environment and freedom to express.
Sharmila Tagore
If women want to ensure themselves a meaningful place in the future, they need to be among those determining how the technology will be used. They need to be among those deciding whether it will be the great leveler or simply serve to worsen social divisions.
Anita Borg
My family didn’t film anything. But then you look deeper and realize, maybe there are photographs, there are things. It’s also context: You give something a context, and suddenly it becomes really deep or meaningful footage.
Asif Kapadia
If you think of the ideas of open source applied to information in an encyclopedia, you get to Wikipedia – lots and lots of small contributions that bubble up to something that’s meaningful.
Matt Mullenweg
The quality of a timeless song is that it’s catchy, meaningful and relatable.
OMI
I think it’s possible to bag substantial roles in meaningful cinema despite being a mother. My role in Yagavarayinum ‘ is the best example.
Richa Pallod
We’re all making castles in the sand, wonderful tapestries, an exquisite corpse. But is it meaningful? No. It’s dogs barking. It doesn’t mean anything beyond our yelping, at the pain of being alive.
Ariel Pink
To provide meaningful architecture is not to parody history but to articulate it.
Daniel Libeskind
Just like if you leave energy free and uncontrolled and unregulated, it may become useless and destructive. Similarly, ‘shakti swaroopa stree’- woman as the epitome of power – does not really need freedom but a meaningful role with protection and channelisation.
Yogi Adityanath
To play meaningful games and try and win a division, a pennant, a World Series, that’s what it’s all about. That’s the thing I’m most proud of.
Alex Bregman
I don’t know about you, but most of my exchanges with cashiers are not that meaningful.
Jeff Bezos
We need to make meaningful, uh, adjustments, here in this country with criminal justice, with education inequities, with real racial inequities in terms of health care.
Amy McGrath
I believe we can incentivize more affordable health care in general by better regulating insurance and creating meaningful competition for health care services.
Amy Klobuchar
Technology is only meaningful when it reaches the people.
Pranav Mistry
It does not matter how much we donate; it matters whether the donation is meaningful. How to define meaningful? Let society and history judge.
Ronnie Chan
We have to face the fact that meaningful gun control has to be a part of homeland security.
Jeh Johnson
In my own work, I’ve tried to anticipate what’s coming over the horizon, to hasten its arrival, and to apply it to people’s lives in a meaningful way.
Paul Allen
Hopefully people can look at our band and see that we’re a heavy rock band. We’re definitely not a metal band, but we’re a band that focuses on meaningful lyrics and melody.
Adam Rich
When I found out that I’m playing Nagini, I thought it was meaningful because it’s an important character in the ‘Harry Potter’ series. ‘Harry Potter’ is a franchise film with many Caucasian actors, so I thought many Korean viewers would be happy.
Claudia Kim
Because we spoke so loudly, opponents of reproductive health access demonized and smeared me and others on the public airwaves. These smears are obvious attempts to distract from meaningful policy discussions and to silence women’s voices regarding their own health care.
Sandra Fluke
I’ve never understood cheating, probably because I never cared much about my grades. I instinctively knew that the grades didn’t measure anything meaningful – usually just my ability to quickly memorize information I’d just as quickly forget.
Caterina Fake
We teenage girls are faced with a quandary: we know what we want but are forced to wait for our male counterparts to grow up. We are ready for intense and meaningful relationships, but research indicates that males will not reach maturity until their mid-20s.
Alexandra Adornetto
I am not into the number games but wish to do meaningful roles.
Priyamani
Survivorship comes with unspoken pressures, responsibilities and challenges. After all, what is the point of saving a life if the life isn’t a meaningful one?
Suleika Jaouad
You experience your soul each time you sense yourself as more than a mind and body, your life as meaningful, or you feel that you have gifts to give and you long to give them.
Gary Zukav
From my perspective, I think the question of how we build a better future is an extremely important overarching question, and I think it’s become obscured from us because we no longer think it’s possible to have a meaningful conversation about the future.
Peter Thiel
I always ask the question: As more Africans are going online, are they finding content that is meaningful and relevant to them, or are they just consuming from everywhere else. As Africans, we have the capacity to generate our own content.
Ory Okolloh
Just in a professional world, sometimes a phone call is definitely more meaningful than a text.
Kevin Harvick
It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful. There is more security in the adventurous and exciting, for in movement there is life, and in change there is power.
Alan Cohen
I’d prefer no practices and just Saturday, Sunday. Just qualify Saturday morning, race Saturday afternoon, and race again Sunday. Less laps of nonsense and more laps of meaningful business.
Daniel Ricciardo
Our job is not to dictate the policies of our candidates or even influence them but simply to articulate them in the most clear and meaningful way to the relevant audience.
Alexander Nix
Adecco and Penna have a long history of working together, and Penna represents an excellent strategic fit for Adecco in U.K. HR services, expanding the breadth and depth of services Adecco is able to offer to its clients. The acquisition of Penna also offers meaningful synergy potential for Adecco in the U.K.
Alain Dehaze
Prayer becomes more meaningful as we counsel with the Lord in all of our doings, as we express heartfelt gratitude, and as we pray for others.
David A. Bednar
When, who, and what things happen to becomes meaningful, then what happens starts to matter, and play can evoke strong emotions, fierce and ongoing urges to succeed, and a desire to leave a mark, drive meaningful change, or build lasting institutions.
Ed Greenwood
You don’t need to be able to string a sentence together in a way that is elegant or even vaguely meaningful to produce a bestseller – as Dan Brown has demonstrated time and again.
Anthony Horowitz
I find myself chatting with my paintings, not deep and meaningful stuff, but things like ‘hey there buddy’ and ‘oh, look what I did to your nose!’
Anh Do
I don’t just write a script, and then someone takes it away and builds a game. I am continually getting input in order to create a big suspension field to hold the gameplay together so that the gamers aren’t doing arbitrary tasks, so that they are doing things that seem meaningful.
Marc Laidlaw
I have learned not to read reviews. Period. And I hate reviewers. All of them, or at least all but two or three. Life is much simpler ignoring reviews and the nasty people who write them. Critics should find meaningful work.
John Grisham
We have come a long way in terms of equality for every race, sex and creed in this nation. We still have a ways to go to before we are there for everyone, but we must find peaceful and meaningful solutions that offer positive outcomes for all.
Jeff Van Drew
I think the thing that is meaningful is when I can tell that someone’s been affected by the movie or by anything I made.
Spike Jonze
We’re living in miraculous times where connections are made at the blink of an eye, the tap of a thumb, and the click of a mouse. We can never replace human interaction, but these simple actions can be powerful and meaningful to those we connect with.
Christy Turlington
In terms of leadership, you’ve got to allow for people to be amazing and to contribute in a way that’s meaningful. You can’t hold on so tight that people don’t get a chance to do what they do best.
Nahnatchka Khan
Values are principles and ideas that bring meaning to the seemingly mundane experience of life. A meaningful life that ultimately brings happiness and pride requires you to respond to temptations as well as challenges with honor, dignity, and courage.
Laura Schlessinger
I think America understands that energy security is a very important part of our national security. But if we are going to address energy security in a meaningful way going forward, we need to do it in a new manner. We cannot just be doing the same old thing.
Chris Van Hollen
To know that the people who are singing along at your show actually have something in common with you and can identify with what you’ve gone through, makes the songs that much more meaningful to sing.
Laura Jane Grace
I’ve taken a lot of risks as far as turning down money to do something I guess I thought was more meaningful. But I don’t know if that’s the best piece of advice, because I’ve also struggled with money, when I could have had a little more if I’d just taken the damn job.
Justin Hartley
One meaningful distinction between high and popular culture, is that there’s way more good popular culture – because its standards of quality are more forgiving, because sobriety isn’t its default mode, because there’s so damn much of it.
Robert Christgau
Actors do all kinds of roles, but once in a while, we also want to do a meaningful film.
Rhea Chakraborty
I would like to recommend ‘After Putting On Makeup’ off our 1st LP, ‘The SHINee World.’ All of our albums are meaningful to us, but I have more attachment towards it because it is our first album.
Lee Tae-min
It doesn’t matter if you have a D, or an I or an R after your name if you have a job – a J-O-B. It really matters to people that they have an opportunity to contribute to their economy in a very meaningful way, and this is outside party lines. So we believe that these are the solutions that America is craving.
Sher Valenzuela
I hope to do meaningful and different types of roles.
Rhea Chakraborty
The quicker we can transfer our online connections to offline ones, the more meaningful social media becomes; rather than just leaving them there and chatting to people. So I really believe in the transfer of online to offline and I think that can make a huge impact.
Jay Shetty
My job as a leader is to make sure everybody in the company has great opportunities, and that they feel they’re having a meaningful impact and are contributing to the good of society. As a world, we’re doing a better job of that. My goal is for Google to lead, not follow that.
Larry Page
When I talk, it’s meaningful. It’s useful. I don’t just talk to talk.
Jeff Green
There are lots of jobs in search of talent. And there’s lots of talent in search of meaningful work.
Maynard Webb
I think legacies are most meaningful with the impressions that a person can leave on a group of people.
Maya Moore
All of your stakeholders have to have the right seat at the table, and they all have to be successful. It’s hard to do, but you have to keep your eye on developing a meaningful relationship where it is beneficial for them. Then you work backwards from there.
Brian France
Once you understand that Goliath is much weaker than you think he is, and David has superior technology, then you say: why do we tell the story the way we do? It becomes, actually, a far more meaningful and important story in its retelling than in the kind of unsophisticated way we’ve done it for, I think, too long.
Malcolm Gladwell
Meaningful innovation can be an important catalyst in encouraging resilience in seniors, keeping them independent and engaged.
Frans van Houten
Unless there is meaningful change in Syria and an end to the crackdown, President Assad and those around him will find themselves isolated internationally and discredited within Syria.
William Hague
In my own work, when I start off writing a scene, I don’t know which physical details are going to turn out to be meaningful. But, inevitably, certain images will stand out – you start to decide which ones are important as you go.
Celeste Ng
Most of the value of deep learning today is in narrow domains where you can get a lot of data. Here’s one example of something it cannot do: have a meaningful conversation.
Andrew Ng
Me and Dre have the best relationship in the world; we don’t have one at all. I don’t look for an apology from him because I don’t think it would do anything. It wouldn’t be meaningful.
Michel’le
Marriage is a dialogue. But in any meaningful relationship, we should be honest, whether it is about having an affair or a fling.
Anupama Parameswaran
So my son is very curious, which is fantastic. He loves school. So I don’t have to encourage him too much, but I love to do it because I know it’s meaningful and words are powerful.
Debra Messing
A meaningful life – this is what we look for in art, in its smallest dewdrops as in its unleashing of the tempest. We are at peace when we have found it and uneasy when we have not.
Bjornstjerne Bjornson
People expect to just hear something raunchy from a female – we’re missing meaningful messages as women. We don’t have enough stories.
Tink
Presumably, what you want to do is work on something meaningful and significant with people you really admire.
Patrick Collison
For narrative games, and also for the sake of the medium, we have to treat performance that way, as actors. You have to have a sense of ownership over it and believe that you’re bringing something meaningful to it – because that’s what all of the developers are doing, and that’s what the story demands.
Ashly Burch
Rather than being a prop in a film with big actors, I would love to do a meatier and more meaningful role in a film that does not feature a big actor.
Zareen Khan
The United States must also continue to push the United Nations Security Council for strong action to thwart Iran’s nuclear ambitions. In the meantime, it is our job to take meaningful steps to eliminate the threats posed by Iran.
Allyson Schwartz
We must revamp K-12 education law to ensure Washington does not stand in the way of meaningful reforms.
John Kline
If I am not in love, nothing is meaningful to me. I have no energy.
Kevin Ayers
We cannot effect meaningful change if we become complacent, if we become comfortable with our own positions in the status quo.
Cyril Ramaphosa
What makes things memorable is that they are meaningful, significant, colorful.
Joshua Foer
I think I’m one of the most patriotic people that I’ve ever encountered in America. I consider myself a bedrock patriot. I participate very actively in local politics, because my voice might be worthwhile. I participate in a meaningful way – not by donations; I work at it.
Hunter S. Thompson
I’ve always wanted my lyrics to say something meaningful and, you know, you always want to tell a message with your art. So yes, as I continue to write music, I will write about things that are real and things that I feel aren’t written about a lot.
Hayley Kiyoko
I think it’s fun to have work that you can relate to, that you can feel like is meaningful.
Joan Cusack
Our words and our marches must be accompanied by action – and that includes meaningful progress on issues ranging from maternal mortality disparities to inequities in access to healthcare, education, Internet, and transportation.
Abigail Spanberger
So writing became a way to get to act in things that I thought were meaningful, and hopefully write stronger roles for other women.
Brit Marling
We will continue to invest in our people and technology to help provide a safe place for civic discourse and meaningful connections on Facebook.
Alex Stamos
Being able to jump off a swing is actually a useful and meaningful thing for a child to do… those are the tests that help us understand the limits of our body. That’s a positive learning experience that we deny children on a regular basis.
Gever Tulley
We need to discuss the basis of a new form of trust built on a meaningful form of citizenship appropriate for a republic.
Michael D. Higgins
I think virtually everyone wants to do good and be good and be decent to each other and pursue something that is valuable to them and meaningful.
Dave Rubin
History will judge Senator Inhofe. You know he has a lot or responsibility on his hands for keeping any kind of movement and serious, meaningful action on global warming happening in the Congress.
Laurie David
Zombies, vampires, Frankenstein’s monster, robots, Wolfman – all of this stuff was really popular in the ’50s. Robots are the only one of those make-believe monsters that have become real. They are really in our lives in a meaningful way. That’s pretty fascinating to me.
Daniel H. Wilson
But they are not going to take on Big Oil because Big Oil is very generous at campaign time, and this is all about the elections. They want to pretend that they are doing something meaningful.
Peter DeFazio
I do it because I want to exercise people’s compassion and I do it because I really believe that for some reason what I do is important and meaningful.
Kyra Sedgwick
When Obama was first proposed as a presidential candidate in 2007, the nation failed to have a meaningful debate concerning the serious constitutional issue of electing someone whose father was not a U.S. citizen.
Aaron Klein
The overwhelming public sentiment in India was that no meaningful dialogue can be held with Pakistan until it abandons the use of terrorism as an instrument of its foreign policy.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee
I was into punk rock my whole life. I never listened to the Eagles. I never listened to things that were getting Grammys. So getting a Grammy nomination wasn’t bad, it just wasn’t meaningful.
James Murphy
It took me a while to accept everything, but I am so grateful for the way my parents raised me. It’s my life, it’s unique, and I think it’s so meaningful to me as I get older.
Karen Bardsley
There’s a lot of music out there that’s like, ‘I’m so mad! I’m sad! I’m into skulls and crossbones and the color black,’ and that’s just meaningless and shallow. So much of metal is about that and it’s hard to find metal that is substantial and meaningful in terms of its content.
Phil Elverum
How you choose to present yourself to the world shows what’s meaningful to you – and what you want others to think is meaningful to you.
Mackenzie Davis
It is better to have a meaningful life and make a difference than to merely have a long life.
Bryant H. McGill
There is a growing awareness among brands that in order to participate in conversations that are taking place across social networks, they must join these discussions on the basis of something that is meaningful to their customers.
Simon Mainwaring
All I try to do is to write music that feels meaningful to me, that has commitment and passion behind it.
Bruce Springsteen
Happiness comes when we test our skills towards some meaningful purpose.
John Stossel
Intel has been my second family. It is an amazing company that has changed the way people live their lives, and I am proud to have contributed to that in a meaningful way.
Renee James
Young people are often asked, ‘What do you want to be when you grow up?’ and given advice about how to lead meaningful adult lives, but where’s the encouragement to lead meaningful lives right now?
Adora Svitak
Israel is prepared for a compromise. The majority of Israelis understand this compromise will be serious, will be meaningful, and will be painful.
Ehud Olmert
For me, my mentor was Rain who I like and admire so much. To be able to appear in the same place with him as a mentor to someone is meaningful and such an honor.
Lee Tae-min
The relationships I’ve had with my girl friends are so powerful and meaningful. Without them I truly don’t know what I’d do.
Elliot Page
In all my career, in my ups and downs, I’ve never had a beauty campaign. This was meaningful that at almost 41 years old, I could be getting my first beauty campaign. It made me feel really great.
Teri Hatcher
As we all know, mental health matters, while we still have a long way to go, we’re starting to see the wheels turning for real and meaningful change. As a parent of young boys, the fact these conversations will be happening at home, in their friendship groups and in the classroom is so important.
Frankie Bridge
When Pinterest works well, it helps you find things that are meaningful to you. We want to build a system that helps you do that.
Ben Silbermann
I have not been part of an active counterculture movement, as it is not the approach that I have personally pursued to create a qualitatively beneficial and meaningful impact on society. Perhaps, my belief is along the old saying that ‘it is always better to light one candle than to curse the darkness.’
Al Seckel
We didn’t grow up in any sort of meaningful representation in media apart from, you know, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Bruce Lee. But, of course, that was different still, because it always played to this narrative of the foreigner from the East.
Simu Liu
I don’t know if any genuine, meaningful change could ever result from a song. It’s kind of like throwing peanuts at a gorilla.
Tom Waits
I don’t relax. I can’t take vacations. I’m obsessive-compulsive, and I worry with every project that I’m going to fail. When it starts to go well, and I sense that something beautiful and important and meaningful is being created, it’s a fantastic feeling, and I find it very hard to stop.
Mary Ellen Mark
The most meaningful and spiritual prayers I have experienced contained many expressions of thanks and few, if any, requests.
David A. Bednar
One of the great things about an open system like Android is it addresses all ends of the spectrum. Getting great low-cost computing devices at scale to the developing world is especially meaningful to me.
Sundar Pichai
Together, the WEEE Act and the First Step Act represented two rare examples of Republicans and Democrats coming together to make meaningful change.
Kayleigh McEnany
I’m going to be 50 soon. I’m single, I’m looking for something meaningful. By the time you’ve been single for quite a long time, you can get quite specific about what you can and can’t put up with.
Brendan Coyle
Just because you live 20 years or 100 years doesn’t make it less meaningful. They’re both short amount of times. So all we can do is just live in that time, whatever time we’re given.
Ansel Elgort
Woody Allen’s sense of humour has always attracted me, and I love the way he can make life so meaningful and yet show us what a farce it can be at the same time.
Kalki Koechlin
In modelling, there is no point in trying to prove you have a brain, so why even bother? I’d sooner save the energy for something more meaningful.
Helena Christensen
I always felt like what I was doing wasn’t selling toys; I was making a happy sound at Christmas. When people hear something so familiar, it brings them back to a special place, and that’s been meaningful for me.
Johnny Mathis
Good design is making something intelligible and memorable. Great design is making something memorable and meaningful.
Dieter Rams
The solo years have been more meaningful to the audiences than the Smiths years, but the press in England only write about me in relation to the Smiths era.
Morrissey
We are committed to raising our children as Jews. I knew that it had to start with me at a greater level, at a deeper level, if it was going to be a meaningful example to them.
David Gregory
Like many people, I had the powerful experience of being raised on Dr. Seuss, then becoming a parent and revisiting him with my own children. That multigenerational experience around his work is very meaningful.
Chris Meledandri
Meaningful ethics reform is vital to restoring public confidence in Missouri’s political system.
Josh Hawley
More meaningful cinema is being made, and that is the reason why you see a rejuvenated Malayalam film industry. But more films aimed at youth are needed.
Mammootty
To me Kate Spade represents a woman who still has stuff to get done. She’s like, ‘yeah I’m stylish but I need to be comfortable and able to move.’ I’m excited to be a part of a brand that’s meaningful to women in that way.
KiKi Layne
As a writer, I try to turn my feelings and experiences into a different form entirely, something that gives me mastery over them and also makes them meaningful to other people.
Scott Spencer
I need those meaningful fights, the fights that everyone wants to see. That would help my legacy a long way.
Terence Crawford
Maybe I’m more drawn to those kind of parts because they are meaningful to me. I mean, more parent-y ones, I find them interesting to do.
Joan Cusack
An awareness of one’s mortality can lead you to wake up and live an authentic, meaningful life.
Bernie Siegel
Don’t treat your ideas like they’re nothing, don’t treat yourself like you’re nothing, because you and your ideas are important and meaningful and have the potential to become so much more than you realize.
Sarah Cooper
While we would love to have no criticism, probably if we had no critique, we wouldn’t be doing anything meaningful.
Erwin McManus
No one voted for a Brexit that will tie us to the E.U.’s customs rules and prevent us striking meaningful trade deals of our own.
Jo Johnson
Practicing yoga has helped me realize a deeper, grounded way of being in the world. I have learned how to communicate in a meaningful way that makes me smile and have learned the super handy skill of efficiency. Use what you need. Rest what you don’t.
Tara Stiles
The simple act of saying ‘thank you’ is a demonstration of gratitude in response to an experience that was meaningful to a customer or citizen.
Simon Mainwaring
Wealth is the progressive realization of worthy goals, the ability to love and have compassion, meaningful and caring relationships.
Deepak Chopra
I have this vision of maybe going the way of Bill Kurtis and, I think, Tom Brokaw, to a certain extent – the ability to not be tied to the desk anymore, but to do projects that are meaningful to you.
Lester Holt
In order to have a meaningful impact, companies should value diversity and inclusion from Day One.
Christine Tsai
Patients with fatal diseases are fighting for their lives every day while real, meaningful, life-extending treatments sit on the shelf just beyond their reach.
Mike Braun
It seems we’re always in transition and that it’s more about trends than it is about what’s meaningful.
Marlee Matlin
I have started or run several companies and spent time with dozens of entrepreneurs over the years. Virtually none of them, in my experience, made meaningful personnel or resource-allocation decisions based on incentives or policies.
Andrew Yang
Fiction is socially meaningful.
David Guterson
As time goes by the memories of sitting on the edge of a bed and reading aloud with your kid are going to be very meaningful in your own mental scrapbook.
Gary Ross
In reality, while currency movements can have a significant impact on inflation in other countries, dollar movements have rarely had a meaningful or durable impact on prices in the U.S.
Gita Gopinath
Your intuition will tell you where you need to go; it will connect you with people you should meet; it will guide you toward work that is meaningful for you – work that brings you joy, work that feels right for you.
Shakti Gawain
Companies and their brands need to reach out and speak directly to consumers, to honor their values, and to form meaningful relationships with them. They must become architects of community, consistently demonstrating the values that their customer community expects in exchange for their loyalty and purchases.
Simon Mainwaring
From my point of view, I’d like to bring other meaningful events through WWE, whether that’s NXT or the United Kingdom championships, taking international brands and putting them on in those markets.
Triple H
What the Lib Dems have failed to do is offer any meaningful agenda for government or for power.
Lucy Powell
I’ve learned to take jobs as an actress that is meaningful to me because I’ve never taken a job for the money.
Emmy Rossum
I don’t think we’re yet evolved to the point where we’re clever enough to handle a complex a situation as climate change. The inertia of humans is so huge that you can’t really do anything meaningful.
James Lovelock
Meaningful health reform needs to provide incentives for physicians and other health professionals to teach their patients healthy ways of living rather than reimbursing primarily drugs and surgical interventions.
Dean Ornish
I want to be remembered as a storyteller more than someone who had something meaningful to say.
Ashwin Sanghi
How we move forward with a level of R&D support that will be meaningful allows us to really build on and enhance our energy opportunities in this country.
Lisa Murkowski
At the heart of any terror is the fear of losing what we find meaningful.
Mark Z. Danielewski
This is our purpose: to make as meaningful as possible this life that has been bestowed upon us; to live in such a way that we may be proud of ourselves; to act in such a way that some part of us lives on.
Oswald Spengler
If you are willing to take the trip through ‘Analogue,’ you’ll be rewarded with some of the best writing in gaming today and a look into the future of what kind of meaningful stories video games are capable of telling.
Rob Manuel
The year 2015 was a year of gigantic struggle, which is adorned with meaningful events and eye-opening successes, a year of victory and glory, in which socialist Korea fully demonstrated its prestige and might.
Kim Jong-un
My goals are to tell meaningful stories through songs and touch people’s lives… and hopefully make a living doing it.
Jordin Sparks
For me, jewelry is a true investment. It’s sentimental and it’s meaningful.
Jennifer Meyer
My own belief is that rather than getting involved in trying to change the reality of social-political things, creators can be involved in and express in different ways and be meaningful in different ways, so for me, it’s important to leave messages to people of the future and to be engaged with the people now.
Takashi Murakami
Blogging is great, and I read blogs all day long. However, my goal is really to have a deep, meaningful discussion with people. For some reason, I’m able to accomplish this best via email.
Jason Calacanis
In my relationship with God, I’ve learned that if I follow a ‘formula’ for how I spend my time with Him, then I’m just accomplishing a checklist of things I feel obligated to do to please Him. This makes my spiritual life more about doing what I need to do to fulfill an obligation than something meaningful.
Joyce Meyer
The coming-of-age story has sort of become a joke. It’s something to capitalize on, and that is painful because when you are coming of age – when you are going through something like that – the genre is so meaningful.
Mae Whitman
Hopefully, the people that would look at a Good Charlotte record and dismiss it for maybe what they think is a certain kind of content, if they do discover something meaningful, then it’s a nice surprise. I like those kinds of contradictions.
Benji Madden
Like a nontechnical user trying to understand a technical problem, our racial illiteracy limits our ability to have meaningful conversations about race.
Robin DiAngelo
I can’t hang out for roles but if something meaningful comes my way I don’t say no.
Amala Akkineni
I hope that there will be more and more games that will have something to say and become a little bit more meaningful.
David Cage
When I enter the voting booth, I’m going to ask myself, what do I prefer for Israel and its relationship with the United States: meaningful action or empty rhetoric? To me the answer is clear: I’ll take another four years of Mr. Obama’s steadfast support over Mr. Romney’s sweet nothings.
Haim Saban
As a songwriter who uses lyrics to connect with others, it made perfect sense for me to partner with Hallmark, the leading greeting card brand that also uses words to help people make meaningful connections.
Cody Simpson
Imagine a libertarian president challenging Congress for meaningful immigration reform.
Gary Johnson
Republicans are willing to support and vote for realistic, meaningful financial reform.
Marsha Blackburn
For our country and people, October 10 is a meaningful revolutionary holiday when they celebrate the birth anniversary of the genuine vanguard of the revolution, its militant General Staff, which has taken responsibility for their destiny and leads them.
Kim Jong-un
Happiness is within. It has nothing to do with how much applause you get or how many people praise you. Happiness comes when you believe that you have done something truly meaningful.
Martin Yan
The single most important thing that sports fans want is competition building to a meaningful championship.
Thomas Hauser
WeWork has always believed that we are better together, and a large part of that is learning from others through meaningful connections and experiences.
Adam Neumann
I think a lot of people get so obsessed with the wedding and the expense of the wedding that they miss out on what the real purpose is. It’s not about a production number, it’s about a meaningful moment between two people that’s witnessed by people that they actually really know and care about.
Jane Seymour
Some of the things that have been the most meaningful to me have been experiences I’ve shared with my family.
Kathleen Battle
The social business marketplace is effectively forcing brands to engage with consumers on the basis of something that is meaningful to them. More often than not, this takes the form of some core value that finds expression in a non-profit cause.
Simon Mainwaring
I like to do meaningful tattoos and it’s for myself and not the world. My tattoos are private.
Daisy Shah
Capturing intimacy is pretty much the only thing I’m interested in. That’s what excites me and what I find beautiful in movies personally – that almost obscene sense that we shouldn’t be this close to these people. I find that very inviting and meaningful as an audience member.
Ira Sachs
My belief is that we all already care about something important. We all already know what is important and meaningful for ourselves. The problem is just that many of us have lost touch with it.
Mark Manson
In Boulder entrepreneurship circles, there is a genuine desire to see others succeed and a general belief that karma matters. There’s a sense that together we’re building something here, and that we’re all a meaningful part of it.
David Cohen
I don’t find the life in Hollywood all that meaningful or inspiring.
Michael Sheen
At DC Comics, it has been a top priority that DC forges a meaningful, forward-looking digital strategy.
Jim Lee
When we realize that something as primal as the food that we choose to eat each day makes such an important difference in addressing both global warming and personal health, it empowers us and imbues these choices with meaning. If it’s meaningful, then it’s sustainable – and a meaningful life is a longer life.
Dean Ornish
I would absolutely recommend against excessive positivity and optimism. Any positive emotion that you’re infusing into a workplace needs to be grounded in reality. If it’s not realistic, sincere, meaningful, and individualized, it won’t do much good.
Tom Rath
We remain committed to inspiring and compelling social change to the world’s most pressing problems through the power of great stories and engaging our audiences to take meaningful action.
Jeffrey Skoll
After one hundred years of federal rule, the United States House of Representatives has moved to provide for the first meaningful route to self-determination for the Puerto Rican people under our federal system.
Dick Thornburgh
I am so sick and tired of participating in this predictable cycle of politics, where a mass shooting happens, the left calls for new gun laws – some meaningful, some unproductive – the right yells ‘slippery slope’ and hides behind the Constitution.
S.E. Cupp
I can understand wanting to have millions of dollars; there’s a certain freedom, meaningful freedom, that comes with that.
Bill Gates
Instead of telling the world what you’re eating for breakfast, you can use social networking to do something that’s meaningful.
Edward Norton
Starbucks has a role and a meaningful relationship with people that is not only about the coffee.
Howard Schultz
The great thing about ‘World Of Warcraft’ is that you can sit down in your lunch hour and do a couple of quests and still feel like you’ve had a meaningful experience, rather than it feeling like you’ve got a second career.
Michael Morhaime
I strongly believe that missionaries make better products. They care more. For a missionary, it’s not just about the business. There has to be a business, and the business has to make sense, but that’s not why you do it. You do it because you have something meaningful that motivates you.
Jeff Bezos
I have lots of meaningful tattoos, also some others are for just passion.
Ederson
Fifty percent of all meaningful education takes place in the home. What do you share with your child? You share your interests. I was a book person. I read with my son. My wife is an artist. She dragged his little butt around to museums. He’s an illustrator of children’s books.
Walter Dean Myers
There is that lovely feeling of one reader telling another, ‘You must read this.’ I’ve always wanted to write a book like that, with the sense that you are contributing to the discourse in middle America, a discourse that begins at a book club in a living room, but then spreads. That is meaningful to me.
Abraham Verghese
It’s important to tell meaningful stories and to find new ways to communicate those stories to people.
Karyn Kusama
When Sinead O’Connor tore up the picture of the Pope, you could hear a pin drop. I didn’t know it was coming, obviously, because at dress, she had held up a picture of Balkan orphans, which I thought was really meaningful and what she wanted to do.
Lorne Michaels
