We have collected the best Appreciate Quotes by famous authors including James Durbin, Ruth Ozeki, Stephen Hawking, George Santayana, Julie Klausner and many others, we hope that among them you will find the right thought.
I appreciate what others have done in the past especially for my genre, and my style of singing. And they sure put a footprint – you know, they got the foot in the door, but I’m going to put my foot straight through the door.
James Durbin
The American society around me looked at me and saw Japanese. Then, when I was 19, I went to Japan for the first time. And suddenly – what a shock – I realized I wasn’t Japanese; they saw me as American. It was an enormous relief. Now I just appreciate being exactly in the middle.
Ruth Ozeki
When one’s expectations are reduced to zero, one really appreciates everything one does have.
Stephen Hawking
It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness.
George Santayana
I think Joan Rivers is such an untapped legend that people just don’t appreciate, because they grew up with her on QVC, or they grew up with her on E!, or they grew up watching her do the things that in their minds the more prestigious comics wouldn’t have taken or done.
Julie Klausner
If I were on the field, I’d want the manager sticking up for me. Sometimes players are dead wrong, ranting and raving, but you stick up for them. They appreciate that.
Bobby Cox
Eventually the consumer will come to appreciate the editorial point of view of every different brand. User-generated content without editorial oversight will simply be background noise.
Michael Eisner
Everything is an open book. I don’t speak on other people’s hardship, but if it happened in my life or something that has been an experience on my particular journey, I’m going to talk about it. That’s what my fan base appreciates the most. I’m universal. You can relate to the things I say or that I go through.
Kevin Hart
Creativity is down the tube. And people give a lot of lip service to individuality. I know they all appreciate it, but they all say they would like to do it, but they don’t want to work at it, and it doesn’t come out of the sky.
Iris Apfel
In America, there’s a failure to appreciate Europe’s leading role in the world.

I definitely have that side of me even though I’m not by any means an expert, but I love reading about physics and math and that kind of stuff. I wish I knew more than I did. I mean, I read books written for laymen, not textbooks or anything.
Chris Parnell
Work-home-work-home, that’s being an actor. Being a rock star? I get to travel the world, meet all the fans in person, party with my fans every night, and people who appreciate the art.
Mitchel Musso
It’s about learning how to slow down… I think this Covid environment that we’re in there’s a lot of sadness and a lot of pressure going on in terms of the uncertainty, but what it is teaching us or forcing us to do is appreciate the small things: be grateful for a slower pace of life.
Melissa Leong
I’m not very good at time off. I’m happier when I’m working. It’s something to do with not knowing what the next job is, so you appreciate it while it’s there. I thrive on it, actually. But now I do it to please myself.
Emilia Fox
I love a good wool suit, and I appreciate the fact that it’s a natural fiber. I know where it comes from, and I know how it’s bred. And it’s built to last. It breathes, and it feels good.
Jason Clarke
I think the Obama administration, whether it’s in his first term or second term, is totally committed to the search for peace between Israel and the Palestinians, and we greatly appreciate the president’s effort, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton in the first administration, now Secretary of State John Kerry.
Michael Oren
Sometimes I make myself laugh, but that’s because I appreciate my sense of humor.
Regina Hall

Agatha Christie

Marquis de Sade
I deeply appreciate the people of Michigan. I love their grit. I love the way they face life. I love the family values they have.
Ernie Harwell
I’m not somebody who runs from the press. I’m not coy. I appreciate the press I’ve had over the years.
George Hamilton
When my body gets to the point where I can no longer function or feel gratitude, then I’ll leave it and become grateful again. But until then, I will appreciate what I have and not whine about what I don’t have. I will feel blessed by life and the opportunity to help others see that they are blessed, too.
Bernie Siegel
To appreciate present conditions, collate them with those of antiquity.
Basil Bunting
Whether you’re a DJ, whether you a rapper, whether you a producer, take it seriously. This is an occupation – you can get paid – don’t expect to blow up overnight, and appreciate when you do get paid any type of money, appreciate it.
E-40
I do that in whatever language of the country I’m in, because the audience appreciate it.
Phil Collins
I appreciate Eight is Enough. It made me recognizable.
Dick Van Patten
I know there’s a great deal of speculation, and while I appreciate the interest, kind of, my contract ends in May and I’m trying to figure out what I’m going to do. I’m fortunate to have a couple of opportunities to think long and hard about.
Katie Couric
The fact is, beneath the hype, Iraqis will soon appreciate American help and idealism far more than French perfidy. It is never wrong to be on the side of freedom – never.
Victor Davis Hanson
I don’t want to appear hostile, like I’m hostile to L.A. or that I feel that the people don’t appreciate jazz. I don’t think it’s that. I think it’s something more. It’s something a little bit more complicated than that.
Sonny Rollins
The ordinariness of living to be old is too novel a thing to appreciate.
Ronald Blythe
I think as a team we do OK with this because we are new and we need the drivers so we appreciate more if they do good for us than an established team, because you know it all and you know this environment here, it’s like ‘it cannot be me, it must be the driver’.
Guenther Steiner
At the end of the day, humans are social animals and we are at our best when we get to do things with others who appreciate and enjoy what we enjoy. It’s what keeps us human.
Simon Sinek
There’s a lot of comics writers out there whose work I appreciate and who are nice guys. I really want to work with guys I really respect and enjoy.

When you go through something, like, you learn to appreciate little things – the birds, trees, flowers.
Grizz Chapman
I’ve learned how to appreciate what I have. And it’s a lot. I’m very lucky.
Donatella Versace
After one has been in prison, it is the small things that one appreciates: being able to take a walk whenever one wants, going into a shop and buying a newspaper, speaking or choosing to remain silent. The simple act of being able to control one’s person.
Nelson Mandela
There’s a lot of great people out here, I just appreciate it and hope everybody has had fun because I’ve enjoyed my ride.

Roy Orbison
There is nothing like a good dose of another woman to make a man appreciate his wife.

Lindsey Buckingham
I would like people to appreciate science in the same way they appreciate the arts.
Richard Dawkins
You don’t appreciate things until they’re gone. For me, I miss my friends; I don’t miss boxing, I miss the camaraderie.
Sugar Ray Leonard
When I was younger, I thought LisaRaye sounded so country, but I’ve come to really appreciate my family-given name. I was named after my father, David Ray McCoy, and I’m totally a daddy’s girl.
LisaRaye McCoy-Misick
I like to look at everything and appreciate seeing the different things that have meaning to people.
Jeff Koons
I am just going to try to run my personal best. If it comes as a world record, I would appreciate it. But I would treat it as a personal best.
Eliud Kipchoge
I really love Philadelphia and all of the fans, my teammates, the front office, the organization, everybody. I know I’m going to miss them. I really appreciate everything we did together. On the other side, I am happy because I have a chance to go to the playoffs. Another opportunity, maybe, to go to the World Series.
Carlos Ruiz
I got to see the first step, hear the first word. Most people – and certainly working moms – are not able to do that. I wanted to appreciate the fact that I had worked so hard all my life to be able to have those moments.
Sarah Michelle Gellar
I appreciate the idea that anybody would think of me as a star. But I’m really not career oriented in the sense that I want to be a star. It’s not in me. It’s not what I do. In fact, I’m amazed that I’ve even gotten this far.
Lance Henriksen
We don’t need a melting pot in this country, folks. We need a salad bowl. In a salad bowl, you put in the different things. You want the vegetables – the lettuce, the cucumbers, the onions, the green peppers – to maintain their identity. You appreciate differences.
Jane Elliot
I do tend to be an anxious fellow, and I do tend to see the world as a little darker than perhaps it genuinely is, but I also do appreciate much more than a rosy scenario, I appreciate straight news. I appreciate honesty.
David Rakoff
I’m not trying to be anything other than myself. I appreciate any type of restaurant or cooking, and the main goal is to just be ourselves.
Dominique Crenn
I’m trying to stop focusing on my flaws and appreciate what I love about my body.
Emily VanCamp
I view advertising as being this romanticizing element that helps us appreciate, understand and enjoy how remarkable it is that we’ve been able to do so much, and learn so much. I view it as really vital, even though sometimes it can be really annoying.
Jaron Lanier
In fact, looking at the darkest sides of the United States has only made me appreciate the things that we do right, the things that we do beautifully. We are, for all of our mistakes and all of our crimes, a remarkable place.
Junot Diaz
I always concentrate on respecting human beings and their lives and the meaning within their lives, and I believe that is something people around the world can appreciate.
Kim Ki-duk
I’m drawn toward filmmakers who have a very distinctive voice. I really appreciate people who push themselves and, therefore, push the medium forward.
Bryce Dallas Howard
You’ve got to get out and pray to the sky to appreciate the sunshine; otherwise you’re just a lizard standing there with the sun shining on you.
Ken Kesey
Music has always been my first love, and I appreciate how a great musician can bring awareness to tough issues through their work.
Kerby Jean-Raymond
Contemporaries appreciate the person rather than their merit, posterity will regard the merit rather than the person.
Charles Caleb Colton
Americans don’t want to see our military become Republican or Democrat. Americans appreciate that our military belongs to all of us.
Ryan Zinke
Hate is not something that needs to exist. You can appreciate or not appreciate, but what’s the point in propagating hate?
DJ Snake
There’s always a side of me that goes, ‘I’m just a nerd.’ I never look at myself and say, ‘I’m beautiful.’ Like anyone else, I see the flaws. Guys don’t do that as much as women. But you have to learn to appreciate and accept and love yourself as you are.
Heather Graham
It’s great that ‘Glee’ is making viewers more aware of the arts. People appreciate it.
Mark Salling
My take on it, like a filmmaker or actor, is if you have much more colors within your creation, eventually people will appreciate what you’re doing, and the other stuff is secondary, like critiques or even awards or anything else, as long as people enjoy it.
Tommy Wiseau
I still carry the residue of the pressure I felt as a child to read and appreciate the right books. Growing up, I never allowed myself to read beach reading. I was always plowing through Ford Madox Ford’s ‘Good Solider’ or something I wasn’t equipped to understand.
Noah Baumbach
You can love someone but not want to keep a gift from that person. It’s okay to pass an item along to someone who will appreciate it more.
Gretchen Rubin
I really appreciate an actor who has paid their dues and who has learned hard knocks and has been rewarded in the end. I don’t understand young actors who get off the turnip truck and land in Hollywood and get a great job. They do not realize how fortunate they are.
Enrico Colantoni
I think people really appreciate clever commercials, as do I. I think they’re very entertaining. You just have to wade through all the garbage. That’s one of the reasons people watch the Super Bowl. A lot of them watch it to see the commercials and not the actual game.
Kevin Nealon
All the folks I play with come from jazz backgrounds or at least appreciate spontaneity within the parameters of a pop song.
Andrew Bird
But now that the guerrilla fighting is over, the Spaniards are again men without a country or families or homes or work, though everyone appreciates very much what they did.
Martha Gellhorn
Well my taste wasn’t very good when I first started out. But later, when I began to appreciate the art of acting, I would say the actress I most admire is Vanessa Redgrave.
Ellen Burstyn
I’ve got a closet full of tuxes, and I appreciate that, because one thing I don’t like to do is shop.
Jeff Bridges
I appreciate folks asking for my autograph.
Wolfman Jack
And like I said, I appreciate my older brothers because they would not allow me to win. They made me learn to play with them, which I think is the most important thing that I learned.
Eddie Murray
I’m at a place where I want to have fun. I want to be challenged. I want to love the people I work with and continue to appreciate being in the position to work and play and explore.
Aja Naomi King
Unless you have bad times, you can’t appreciate the good times.
Joe Torre
It’s always nice when people appreciate your work because it means you’ve affected them, which is great. And so that feels good.
Kirsten Dunst
When there is a certain subject matter where I want to get involved, where I think I could add to the conversation, and especially with gender issues, I appreciate having that voice and that seat at the table.
Molly Qerim
I completely appreciate the importance of fathers but millions of children are without loving homes. I think a child is lucky with one parent who truly loves her.
Jillian Michaels
I used to say that theatre was my favourite thing. But the more I do film, the more I appreciate it.
Helen McCrory
I’d feel bad pretending my life was anything other than pretty good, so I do the role as well as I can and then I go home, have a cup of tea, see my family and friends, and appreciate what I’ve got.
Olivia Colman
As you get older, you see life is very short, so you have to appreciate more and more and to enjoy it.
Carine Roitfeld
I feel like network didn’t want me. I was doing all these pilots, and it never worked out. I was like, network doesn’t like me. I’m going to go to cable where I’m appreciated. Then it was funny; I think I had to go to cable for network to appreciate me.
Abigail Spencer
I appreciate all of the attention I get in my career. I am a loner and live a rather secluded life so sometimes I do get overwhelmed, but I am always very appreciative of everything, and honored.
Kim Elizabeth
I always have separated myself from my critiques of collections. My judgment is not about whether I would wear it – but how the collection stands in the lexicon of an established designer. As I am a maximalist, not a minimalist, I don’t wear Armani or Celine – but I so appreciate what they have achieved.
Suzy Menkes
I’m fortunate for where I come from because even though I didn’t grow up with a silver spoon in my mouth, it allowed me to appreciate any little thing that I have.
Daniel Jacobs
Happiness is perhaps painlessness, a state one rarely appreciates. Happiness, then, is very much like a great talent. It rarely gets appreciated and is taken for granted.
Kamal Haasan
The red carpet is a beautiful situation for people. I think everybody appreciates it and loves it and honors it. Nobody really acts a fool because they know this is a one-time thing.
Snoop Dogg
I’ve really learned to appreciate a moment. I take things in a lot. I’m kind of weird like that.
Kendall Jenner
Thailand is a really beautiful place, culturally and spiritually. You appreciate it the longer you stay.
Goldie
I remember back when I was a kid there was a comic strip called Plastic Man. His body was elastic and he could make his extremities as long as he wanted. As a youngster I didn’t fully appreciate. But I’m now thinking Plastic Man was probably pretty popular with the ladies.
Ben Affleck
I am sure that in Canada the people appreciate this principle, and the general intelligence which prevails over that country is such that I am sure there is no danger of a reactionary policy ever finding a response in the hearts of any considerable number of our people.
Alexander Mackenzie
We have this wonderful language and we don’t appreciate it. That’s old-fashioned me, but when I went to school, everyone had elocution lessons, not to sound posh but so you could be understood.
Penelope Keith
Our touchstones of slavery are ‘Song of the South,’ ‘Gone With the Wind’ and ‘The Birth of a Nation.’ It’s hard to separate the cinematic quality from the underlying themes. I appreciate the films, but the message was repugnant.
John Ridley
Now that I have kids, I want my kids to appreciate my music, but at the same time, I don’t want to teach them anything that they shouldn’t know just yet.
Ne-Yo
There’s people that appreciate what I do; there’s people that criticize it.
Bad Bunny
Any urbanist has to appreciate New York City and the way it works. The public transit is astonishing.
Mick Cornett
Music saved my life. The voice you hear, the soul, the pain, is that of a person who deeply, deeply, deeply appreciates the opportunity they’ve been given.
CeeLo Green
I want to write my own stuff, and, you know, it would be nice to put myself in it. But I would like to hope that there are going to be better roles offered as well and that I don’t need to do everything. You know, like, I appreciate my career being somewhat DIY, but it would be nice to get some help.
Hari Kondabolu
I think that to fully appreciate baseball, it helps to have been born in the U.S.
Khaled Hosseini
A lot of guys go through ups and downs in their careers, and sometimes those downs are like horrific and they can really change you. A lot. And so when you go out there and do something like score a touchdown and have a good game, you appreciate it so much more when you’ve been through those valleys in life.
Amari Cooper
I’m appreciative that people appreciate the care I’ve taken of my feet.
Toks Olagundoye
I don’t appreciate avant-garde, electronic music. It makes me feel quite ill.
Ravi Shankar
Those people behind the mosque have to respect, have to appreciate and have to defer to the people of New York. The wound is still there. Just because the wound is healing you can’t say, ‘Let’s just go back to where we were pre-9/11.
Al-Waleed bin Talal
You have to appreciate the slow grind because success is not going to happen overnight. It can happen overnight, but that’s not my journey.
Davante Adams
We have failed to fully appreciate how deeply housing is implicated in the creation of poverty.
Matthew Desmond
I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once.
Rafael Nadal
Everybody doesn’t have to get every joke. People really appreciate not being condescended to.
Matt Groening
I think I always had a musicality, and I think I could tell a good song from a bad song. And I would appreciate hearing something that was new to me.
Paul McCartney
I want to say that I really appreciate that readers are willing to work with my tendency to write in several different genres and for different age groups.
Melissa Marr
I’m slowly feeling more Chinese and feel I should be more proud of being Chinese and appreciate where I’ve come from.
Patrick Chan
Sometimes you are so busy you forget to appreciate what you have.
Dinesh Karthik
Who is that person that comes around and says, ‘You are OK, you are worthy, you are special?’ That makes all the difference in the world for many of us. Those are the people we appreciate the most.
Mahershala Ali
There are those who love to get dirty and fix things. They drink coffee at dawn, beer after work. And those who stay clean, just appreciate things. At breakfast they have milk and juice at night. There are those who do both, they drink tea.
Gary Snyder
I appreciate the sentiment that I am a popular woman in computer gaming circles; but I prefer being thought of as a computer game designer rather than a woman computer game designer. I don’t put myself into gender mode when designing a game.
Roberta Williams
I believe Nebraskans appreciate the fiscal discipline I’ve brought to state government, balancing the budget without raising taxes and prioritizing education funding.
Dave Heineman
If we fail to appreciate the soul that Easternism gives us, then what we have is a disconnected, Greco-Roman, Western, egocentric, compartmentalized, reductionist, fragmented, linear thought process that counts on cleverness.
Joel Salatin
I always felt as a kid that I was underappreciated, invisible or weird, but I’ve always secretly thought people would one day appreciate what is different about me. I’m always putting that message out there.
Judd Apatow
Being part of such a great club like Manchester United fills you with emotion, and you gradually realise how much the club means to the fans and the people who work here. They really live for the game, so that does become part of you, and you can only appreciate that having spent time here.
David de Gea
Most of the time, I’m making music. There’ll be moments of my life where I feel like I gotta to take a break and come back to the music. It’s hard to explain, but you need to get a break from it and then come back to it. It’s like you gotta lose something to appreciate it.
A Boogie wit da Hoodie
We can appreciate but not really understand the medieval town. We cannot comprehend its compactness, the contiguity of all its buildings as a single uninterrupted whole.
Arthur Erickson
We appreciate size, but only if it is robust growth. Just to be big is not a target.
Alexei Mordashov
I’m not an NRA member, but that doesn’t mean I didn’t appreciate shooting blanks out of a machine gun.
Bryce Dallas Howard
I have gotten better at saying to myself, ‘Relax and just take this moment in. Appreciate it for what it is.’
Chris Carmack
If the goal is to build companies that maximize long-term equity value, then optimizing corporate performance in a way that Wall Street appreciates is obviously critical to that goal.
Bill Gurley
I’d love to do a safari holiday somewhere in Africa – maybe Kenya or Tanzania. I have never been, and we’ve deliberately waited until the children are older so that they could appreciate it, learn something and come back with stories.
Louise Nurding
When I was, like, 5 years old, I used to pray to have light skin because I would always hear how pretty that little light skin girl was, or I would hear I was pretty to be dark skin. It wasn’t until I was 13 that I really learned to appreciate my skin color and know that I was beautiful.
Keke Palmer
I appreciate the fact, and am proud of it, that the attentions I am receiving are intended more for our country than for me personally.
Ulysses S. Grant
I have come to regard November as the older, harder man’s October. I appreciate the early darkness and cooler temperatures. It puts my mind in a different place than October. It is a month for a quieter, slightly more subdued celebration of summer’s death as winter tightens its grip.
Henry Rollins
Kindness is not about instant gratification. More often, it’s akin to a low-risk investment that appreciates steadily over time.
Josh Radnor
It was with 9/11 that I came to fully appreciate and embrace NPR’s irreplaceability as a sanity preserver, its unique virtues as first responder on the burning scene.
James Wolcott
In the Raphael Room, the secret turned out to be that only some of the paintings were made by the great master; the rest were made by students. I had liked the ones by Raphael. This was a big jab for my self-confidence in my ability to appreciate art.
Richard P. Feynman
I like to connect with fans, usually positive stuff. If there is negative stuff, you just look past it and talk to the people that appreciate you.
Giancarlo Stanton
To appreciate heaven well, it’s good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell.
Will Carleton
For many people, managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole – their mind, body, and spirit.
Naomi Judd
I love and collect contemporary art and go to all the art fairs. I love Damien Hirst and Matthew Barney. I grew up in Italy and had a humanistic education in philosophy and literature – things I love and appreciate. People are richer and more complex than just their day-to-day professional pursuits might suggest.
Nouriel Roubini
When the audience comes out of the theatre, they should remember your role and appreciate you for it. They should not forget you.
Suniel Shetty
People appreciate it when you take some time to think about who will be listening to your jokes.
Seth Meyers
What’s amazing is, if young people understood how doing well in school makes the rest of their life so much interesting, they would be more motivated. It’s so far away in time that they can’t appreciate what it means for their whole life.
Bill Gates
If you watch a lot of television, the pacing, the quick cutting is so frenetic, but it doesn’t always make it funnier. What I’m noticing is that when things are allowed to unspool more slowly, younger crowds really like it. They really appreciate it.
Conan O’Brien
I think I’m one of the most fortunate people in the world. I travel around looking for the best waves and appreciate it every second.
Rob Machado
Dad is my best mate and I can tell Mum absolutely anything. I really appreciate Mum and Dad. Why are we so close? Young parents, I think. The rock business keeps their minds young.
Kim Wilde
Boxing is like jazz. The better it is, the less people appreciate it.
George Foreman
It’s weird to think I have fans now, so I appreciate all of the people that follow and support me – and I love them to death. But yeah, when I start looking on Twitter, and I see, ‘I want to name my kid after you,’ I’m like, ‘Whoa!’ I’m a little surprised.
Ryan Guzman
I’ve always been into fashion since I was a kid. I love fashion. I appreciate it.
Future
A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it.
Israel Zangwill
While I appreciate what goes into making high-end Indian dishes, street food has a special place in my heart. Being raised in India, street food played an integral part in my life while growing up.
Maneet Chauhan
My parents told us how they felt but never imposed their beliefs on us, although I appreciate I got a healthy sense of democracy from them.
Ahmet Zappa
I am who I am. That’s why my friends and peers respect and appreciate me. I don’t change or cater my actions to fit my surroundings. I’m myself 24/7. People appreciate that.
Kevin Hart
I may not be the most famous songwriter in the world, but you know a David Friedman song when you hear it. It took me a long time to appreciate that.
David Friedman
I love the movie ‘Taken,’ but the dialogue in the beginning of that movie is hilarious. They’re talking, these commando types, and there’s dialogue like, ‘Hopefully your daughter appreciates what you’re doing for her. Does she know that you’re doing it?’ What guys talk like this?
Michael Jai White
It’s kind of crazy to think that I’ve now been divorced longer than I was married, but I appreciate the journey, because it brought my ex and I back to a friendship that helped us become great co-parents.
Regina King
It definitely has learning a lesson about the way you’re living your life. I wouldn’t compare our movie to that, but it has a structure where it’s about a man who doesn’t appreciate all that he has and finds out at the end that life has been great and he has to enjoy that.
Adam Sandler
There’s so much to appreciate about my life every single day, and I make a big point of taking time to smell the roses and noticing how lucky I am. I never want to take that for granted.
Josie Maran
I appreciate my time in the gym.
Melanie Roach
Appreciate everything your associates do for the business.
Sam Walton
I feel incredibly lucky at this moment in my career to get paid to do basically exactly what I always wanted to do. I appreciate that in general. But you know, like any job, a job is a job, and there are days that are going to be boring, or you have a boss you don’t like, or people you work with.
Nick Kroll
After I’d been in college for a couple years I’d read Shakespeare and Frost and Chaucer and the poets of the Harlem Renaissance. I’d come to appreciate how gorgeous the English language could be. But most fantasy novels didn’t seem to make the effort.
Patrick Rothfuss
Sending greeting cards to aliens is hardly a new idea. In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four’s 1960s-genre compositions.
Seth Shostak
To hate is to study, to study is to understand, to understand is to appreciate, to appreciate is to love. So maybe I’ll end up loving your theory.
John Archibald Wheeler
The Arab world needs to appreciate that legitimate historical claims and modern necessities are what make Israel the homeland of the Jewish people.
Edgar Bronfman, Sr.
I was slightly disheartened when three of my films didn’t work at the box-office. But the silver lining is that people did appreciate my work in those films. Had my performance gone unnoticed, I would’ve been in big trouble then.
John Abraham
I try to take the time to appreciate and I certainly do appreciate and I do feel proud but that is probably one of the things I need to work on, building a bit of time for myself.
Orlando Bloom
I am from a middle-class family, and everything I have achieved in life I have only appreciated. I have never gone overboard because I have seen the other side of life. When you have seen the other side of life, you appreciate what you have.
Sushmita Sen
I admire anyone who does stage all their life. It’s so tough, and it also made me really appreciate how lucky I am with film. You have to do your own makeup with stage, and you have to do so many un-glamorous things.
Ellie Bamber
There’s a lot of young actors and people who have success very quickly who kind of expect it or don’t have the experience to really appreciate it.
David Walton
My libertarian friends are probably getting a little upset now but I think that’s because they never appreciate the benefits of local fascism.
Ann Coulter
There’s so many gifts from the faith to appreciate and it strikes people differently, but the one-ness of the Church wherever you are, Raleigh, San Diego, Alabama. Every place we were was home because the Catholic Church is the same everywhere.
Philip Rivers
It’s nice when people say, ‘God, I’ve been listening to you since 1963 or 1985, or whatever.’ I appreciate anybody who goes out and buys music these days.
Loudon Wainwright III
One is taught by experience to put a premium on those few people who can appreciate you for what you are.
Gail Godwin
You don’t appreciate life until you get to the other side. Like lying in a hospital bed.
Fabrice Muamba
Time and health are two precious assets that we don’t recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.
Denis Waitley
The fact of being an underdog changes people in ways that we often fail to appreciate. It opens doors and creates opportunities and enlightens and permits things that might otherwise have seemed unthinkable.
Malcolm Gladwell
You experience other cultures to give you a kind of shock that makes you look at your own culture. You appreciate it more as a result of being out of it, but you also realise there are some things lacking in your culture.
Mem Fox
I still bump into Spurs fans who say: ‘Why did you have to go?’ I say back: ‘What more could I have done?’ I talk to them and I think they appreciate I had good reasons.
Jermain Defoe
This is like one thing that I’ve tried to do, and I think successfully, that when you realize that nothing really belongs to you, you begin to appreciate having an understanding of just where your head is at, and you feel so much better.
Stevie Wonder
There were periods when the art market got overheated, but there is no reason it should appreciate dramatically.
Eli Broad
I still appreciate individuality. Style is much more interesting than fashion, really.
Marc Jacobs
Every now and then I will see a word as if for the first time, and suddenly appreciate that Evian is ‘naive’ spelled backward, or that Bosnia is an anagram of ‘bonsai.’
Christopher Hitchens
All vacations can come down to a few little moments – what do your remember when you’re alone, totally relaxed and taken out of yourself to appreciate this other world.
Bill Kurtis
I appreciate health care that gets to the root cause of our symptoms and promotes wellness, rather than the one-size-fits-all drug-based approach to treating disease. I love maintaining an optimal quality of life – naturally.
Suzanne Somers
I was always a very indoor videogame nerd movie buff… Now I’ve come to appreciate Scouts and the outdoors.
Jared Gilman
I must stress here the point that I appreciate clarity, order, meaning, structure, rationality: they are necessary to whatever provisional stability we have, and they can be the agents of gradual and successful change.
A. R. Ammons
When you’re young you don’t appreciate your youth and marvel in it like you should, you find endless flaws instead.
Helen Baxendale
When I went to Memphis and Mississippi and Nashville, I learnt the blues is a whole way of life. I don’t really have the blues, but I can appreciate the honesty and the simplicity of it.
Gin Wigmore
By helping readers understand these mechanics, I hope they will appreciate why freedom is for everyone, why it is essential for our security and why the free world plays a critically important role in advancing democracy around the globe.
Natan Sharansky
There are people who will appreciate what I’ve done, and there will be people who will criticize me. Ultimately history will have the final say.
Wen Jiabao
L.A. will never be a hockey town. I’m a huge hockey fan, and people out here do not appreciate hockey as much as they should. I’ve always been into it. I’m Canadian; that’s my sport for sure.
Jean-Luc Bilodeau
I just appreciate still having the longevity that I’ve had in my career.
Diana Ross
We didn’t have a lot when I was growing up, and it’s the best thing that happened to me because I appreciate everything. I developed a strong work ethic, and I don’t take anything for granted.
Sarah Jessica Parker
I don’t know that I appreciate things more because of how I grew up, but I am very realistic with what I expect out of people and what they expect out of me.
Adam Carolla
It takes a long time to appreciate one’s parents.
Kristin Scott Thomas
I am committed to examining my feelings and will recognize, appreciate and respect the differences among people in our society.
Tim Hardaway
A little recognition is not a bad thing because it means people appreciate your work. The only problem is when you can’t walk down the street or have a meal without people looking at you. I want to be the one looking at people.
Viggo Mortensen
No one should expect the value of their house to appreciate quickly – counting on your home to be a significant part of your retirement saving isn’t a winning strategy – but it is reasonable to expect that prices generally will rise with at least the rate of inflation for some time to come.
Mark Zandi
I’m happy I have fans; obviously, they’re such great people. When I’m on Twitter and Facebook, they say such nice things that I really appreciate.
Dakota Goyo
The presidency is an independent office and the Irish people whom I appreciate so much and I take with such responsibility have given a very clear mandate on a very clear set of ideas to me, as the ninth president.
Michael D. Higgins
The best way to explain it is that I’m not yearning anymore, on or off the course. I appreciate what I have. I feel like I’m blessed.
David Duval
I have the opportunity to learn about the fashion world, and I appreciate it as an art form… But I never want it to take over my acting.
Lupita Nyong’o
Investor demand for distressed property has been healthy, as rents rise to levels that can cover investors’ costs while they wait for properties to appreciate. Giving investors a small tax break should further juice up demand, supporting prices for distressed homes and the market in general.
Mark Zandi
And I took a long time to appreciate Lynch.
Jacques Rivette
I have learned that I have to slow down and appreciate that my daughter still needs me, still wants me to help her negotiate everything in her life.
Constance Marie
Now, there’s parts about Mormonism that I love and appreciate. And as far as things that I was embarrassed about, I just don’t feel it anymore.
Dan Reynolds
There are three kinds of intelligence: one kind understands things for itself, the other appreciates what others can understand, the third understands neither for itself nor through others. This first kind is excellent, the second good, and the third kind useless.
Niccolo Machiavelli
If you are neutral in situations of injustice, you have chosen the side of the oppressor. If an elephant has its foot on the tail of a mouse and you say that you are neutral, the mouse will not appreciate your neutrality.
Desmond Tutu
Nostalgia is one thing. It’s great to go and play the old songs. People know them and appreciate them. You got to give them what they want to hear.
Denny Laine
It’s just so lovely to be at home and in my own bed surrounded by people I’m so close to. I really appreciate the time I have at home. The support from all my family has just been so overwhelming.
Amybeth McNulty
The Americans invaded a country without understanding what eight years of a war with Iran had meant, how that traumatized Iraq. They didn’t appreciate what they support for a decade of sanctions in Iraq had done to Iraq and the bitterness that it created and that it wiped out the middle class.
Anthony Shadid
Mr. Speaker, the fact of the matter is that the Ten Commandments are a historical document that contains moral, ethical, and legal truisms that any person of any religion or even an atheist can recognize and appreciate.
Cliff Stearns
Y’know, I don’t like jazz much. I’ll put it on once in a while and listen, and I’ll appreciate it.
Joe Perry
I’m not a phony-friendly guy and I’m usually very quiet and not a big laugher, so some people might take that for rudeness and being mean. If anyone ever got that impression, I apologize. I love all my fans and really appreciate all their support!
Jesse McCartney
We do not always appreciate the role the Queen has played in one of the most significant changes in the past 60 years: the transformation of Britain into a multi-ethnic, multi-faith society. No one does interfaith better than the Royal family, and it starts with the Queen herself.
Jonathan Sacks
I’m having fun playing with clothes now. I didn’t used to appreciate the clothes as much when I was modeling. It was a job.
Cody Horn
I have my own spiritual guru, and I’m so happy, and I feel so satisfied that I might appreciate many other famous gurus, but, you know, I am not attracted that way because I have found the person.
Ravi Shankar
The great thing that I appreciate – the fact that my godfather, William ‘Sticky’ Jackson, was a Tuskegee Airman because my father was first born in Ozark, Alabama. The sacrifices and the commitment of those men made it possible for myself and many others.
Allen West
I really appreciate the British part of my family.
Helle Thorning-Schmidt
In Israel, a land lacking in natural resources, we learned to appreciate our greatest national advantage: our minds. Through creativity and innovation, we transformed barren deserts into flourishing fields and pioneered new frontiers in science and technology.
Shimon Peres
Now that I’m more mature, in a funny way, I can even appreciate that I’ve bad to become more aware of my body. Since I’ve chosen acting as my career, I have to keep my weight down anyway-I’ve been used to it for years, so it’s no problem. And there’s nothing I can’t do.
Dana Hill
I deeply appreciate all the support and encouragement I have received from people all across India.
Satya Nadella
As much as I appreciate acting and enjoy it, and like it, it wasn’t something where I grew up wanting to be a movie star.
Max Thieriot
I appreciate everything that has been done for me. After a difficult start, I’ve just followed my dreams.
Victor Ortiz
I wanted Kimi to be a Japanese record with a Japanese title. I wanted it to be for them. They appreciate things on a different level, and take their art very seriously – that’s special if you’re an artist.
Matthew Sweet
I don’t have the luxury of sitting around any more. I must have had bags of spare time before I had children, but I don’t know what I did with it and I didn’t appreciate it. But it’s such a terrific trade-off. I don’t have time to get a pedicure, but I sure am happy. Who cares if your feet look bad?
Julia Roberts
I think it is nice for people to appreciate a slow-burning, beautiful story that makes you feel good when it is over.
Emily Blunt
Talent is a gift that can be given, and it can be taken away. We have to appreciate that.
Sidney Sheldon
I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that, I thought golf writers got up every morning, played a round of golf, had lunch, showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.
Phil Mickelson
I appreciate the support and anyone who takes up a position on my behalf. Especially in matches, this feeling that there are people behind you, gives me a lot of strength.
Viswanathan Anand
As I’ve progressed in my career, I’ve come to appreciate – and really value – the other attributes that define a company’s success beyond the P&L: great leadership, long-term financial strength, ethical business practices, evolving business strategies, sound governance, powerful brands, values-based decision-making.
Ursula Burns
My mother was a stay-at-home mom until I turned 14, and up to that point, we were made to study hard after school each day, and appreciate what my dad called ‘a free education.’
Deb Haaland
My thing is to get up there and have a good time and give the fans all you can and appreciate them spending their money and being in the stands – and just be appreciative of them cheering when you come onstage.
Luke Bryan
I think anybody with an insecurity, which is everyone, appreciates the fact that it’s much easier to be a predator than it is to be prey.
James Van Der Beek
I appreciate that young girls look up to me. And I take that very seriously.
Victoria Beckham
My audiences have given me lots of love as a tennis player. I hope they appreciate my passion for acting.
Leander Paes
Coming from a pageant title that celebrates diversity, I’ve come to appreciate all kinds of beauty.
Pia Wurtzbach
I have a big head, so I can appreciate a good hat.
Khalil Mack
I just smoked a Cohiba the other day. It was great. You have to appreciate everything that cigar is.
Daisy Fuentes
I appreciate good tailoring as much as good details of construction.
Neri Oxman
I just don’t think that I trust men. That’s the problem. I can appreciate a beautiful-looking man, but he’s not my type.
Cara Delevingne
People sort of take it for granted, but the more you see of the media world the more you appreciate a paper like the Times where its family continues to invest in editorial quality and I think it’s the truly is the best paper in the world.
David Talbot
You can’t second-guess your audience. You can only do what you think is right. If you do that, your audience will appreciate you.
Lyle Lovett
‘The Summer I Turned Pretty’ is about how, as a young woman, everyone gets that moment of being in bloom, but nobody really appreciates it.
Jenny Han
I really appreciate that: to walk into an environment where everyone is serious and dedicated to creating the best performance possible and challenging themselves to figure out the most interesting way to approach the work.
Aja Naomi King
Charleston is an amazing place. I probably didn’t appreciate it enough when I was growing up.
Thomas Gibson
There are so many questions to be answered and so many personal compliments that we appreciate so very much.
Eydie Gorme
I just think that the older you get, the more you appreciate the responsibility of politics.
Enda Kenny
I never had worked in high fashion before, had never experienced it when I was a model before. I appreciate it, being able to work with such talented people; it feels like a gift now. I think for everyone everything happens at the right time, and this is my time.
Saskia de Brauw
During the day I force myself to at least eat some salads rather than rubbish, and a steak in the evening. In fact, I eat to basically satisfy my hunger. I hardly have the time to appreciate a meal, and I’m everything, but a gourmet.
Milla Jovovich
It’s important for people who criticise architects – whether what they build is or isn’t to your taste – to appreciate how they devote themselves and put everything into bringing a building into existence.
Thomas Heatherwick
For me, the most absorbing films are those that address big questions and real ideas but embody them in small examples that we can appreciate and comprehend.
Lisa Randall
Actually, I have this random fear, and it’s of bees and wasps. Bees and wasps actually scare me just a little bit. I’d rather have a snake or a crocodile, yes… I appreciate them, and I love them, but I have a slight fear.
Bindi Irwin
With my husband, I do really appreciate the fact that we – even though we’re different kinds of Asian, there is a cultural shorthand between us, and I don’t have to explain anything. I’ve dated guys before who weren’t Asian-American, and it frustrated me when I would have to defend why beans belong in a dessert.
Ali Wong
Among the many values in life, I appreciate freedom most.
Haruki Murakami
We don’t appreciate what we have until it’s gone. Freedom is like that. It’s like air. When you have it, you don’t notice it.
Boris Yeltsin
The satisfaction comes because you work hard and it pays off. It is not as glamorous as I thought it would be, but, you know, I appreciate it more than I ever knew I would, and I love it more than I ever knew I would.
Lee Ann Womack
When I try to appreciate something, it feels like my hands are around the moment, trying to squeeze it. It’s when you really release yourself of the responsibility to be enjoying things that you actually do.
Timothee Chalamet
Perhaps it’s an accident of nationality, but the English treasure subtlety and appreciate not having everything spelled out for them, while Americans want everything made apparent.
Tim Pigott-Smith
Success came to us at an age where we could enjoy it. We went through a lot of hard times, so we appreciate success all the more now.
Matt Lucas
Brad Pitt is a dude who just wants to make good movies. He’s not afraid to surround himself with the greatest actors, which I always appreciate because I’ve also seen actors who only want to surround themselves with weak actors because it makes them look better. That ends up making a poorer movie.
Garret Dillahunt
Only God Himself fully appreciates the influence of a Christian mother in the molding of character in her children.
Billy Graham
Jazz is an art that takes decades to appreciate and understand.
Jake Shimabukuro
Reflecting on where I came from helps me to appreciate and balance what I have now.
Meghan Markle
It is important for all of us to appreciate where we come from and how that history has really shaped us in ways that we might not understand.
Sonia Sotomayor
I have always had an interest in fashion and design and I appreciate style and timelessness within my footwear and accessories both on and off the court.
Maria Sharapova
It is impossible for one class to appreciate the wrongs of another.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I can’t switch time zones any more. London is one of my favourite places, but I’m always so zonked that I can’t appreciate it. It’s like a six-inch sheet of glass between me and Charing Cross Road.
Douglas Coupland
When you work for something, you appreciate it more. So what are y’all going to do with all the opportunities you inherited that you didn’t have to work for?
Tavis Smiley
And the fact that you must make the movie for yourself because no one else will ever fully appreciate the endeavor, makes it a more rewarding challenge.
Richard King
Forties are good! I’m thinking with my brain now, which is a lot more clear, and women seem to appreciate that. It’s a wonderful decade where you’re in control of yourself but the women are still interested.
James Marsters
It’s true what they say: ‘You don’t appreciate what you’ve got until it’s gone.’ I miss love. I miss being looked after.
Cilla Black
I can appreciate anybody’s passion for anything.
Kristanna Loken
I have asked to have no funeral, and no memorial service. I hate other people’s and would certainly not appreciate my own.
Charles Saatchi
People still don’t appreciate how ephemeral success is.
Nate Silver
I appreciate hearing different stories. It inspires me.
Sigrid
Why has elegance found so little following? That is the reality of it. Elegance has the disadvantage, if that’s what it is, that hard work is needed to achieve it and a good education to appreciate it.
Edsger Dijkstra
I want people to think of me as a nice person. I really am so blessed. All of this has been a great experience and I thank the American public so much for putting me in this position. I appreciate every second of it.
Carrie Underwood
When you do what you’re supposed to do and don’t complain much, I think the fans, media, players and front office appreciate and respect that.
Torii Hunter
Ever since I was a kid, I’ve always thought it very important to be happy inside. There’s a lot of bad things happening in the world, but it’s important to try to stay happy and appreciate what you’ve got, and don’t look externally for the happiness.
Ana Ivanovic
The Internet’s distinct configuration may have facilitated anonymous threats, copyright infringement, and cyberattacks, but it has also kindled the flame of freedom in ways that the framers of the American constitution would appreciate – the Federalist papers were famously authored pseudonymously.
Jonathan Zittrain
We’re so afraid of death in our culture, but I think if we understand it better, then we’ll appreciate the life we have more.
Naomi Watts
I really appreciate an actor who has paid their dues and who has learned hard knocks and has been rewarded in the end.
Enrico Colantoni
Drake is a man of the art, so he appreciates the new sounds and new music. He’s always in tune with the music and the story behind it.
Fivio Foreign
I wish for the advent of an era in which everybody makes and appreciates good music.
Jin
I’ve learned over the years to appreciate God’s timing, and you can’t rush things; it’s gonna happen exactly when it’s supposed to.
Sevyn Streeter
We have asked a lot of our military families and I believe they deserve the very best efforts of each of us to show them how much we appreciate their service to our country.
Jill Biden
To appreciate nonsense requires a serious interest in life.
Gelett Burgess
When you’re young, you don’t have any experience – you’re charged up, but you’re out of control. And if you’re old and you’re not charged up, then all you have is memories. But if you’re charged and stimulated by what’s going on around you, and you also have experience, you know what to appreciate and what to pass by.
Neil Young
I’m not a big lingerie girl. I see it, and I love it, and I appreciate it, and sometimes I even buy it, and then it never gets worn. It just seems like kind of a wasted middle step. Either you’re dressed or you’re not. What is this in-between stuff?
Natalie Zea
I think all those artists are artists who are appreciated because you believe their words and you appreciate their honesty in their music. If you don’t appreciate the honesty in the music, the beat can be fly as hell but you’ll never give an emcee props.
Talib Kweli
Take time to appreciate employees and they will reciprocate in a thousand ways.
Bob Nelson
‘Howard the Duck!’ That’s a really interesting movie. I appreciate my career, because I’ve had a lot of very interesting ups and downs, and most people… That movie is such a famous flop. In a land of a lot of flops, it’s kind of awesome to be in a really famous flop. I mean, it’s kind of a poster child for flops.
Lea Thompson
When you’re able to love and appreciate and take pride with yourself, that makes everything easier. It makes it easier to train, it makes it easier to be in the gym, and it makes it easier for everyone else to accept and love you.
Gus Kenworthy
Don’t get me wrong, some of the mis-informed articles I have read over the last few weeks have been incredibly frustrating, but for my part I fully appreciate the opportunity I have been given and want to grasp it firmly.
Adam Rickitt
I have many friends of other religions, and I am satisfied that they are very conscientious, good people who are trying to do good. I appreciate that.
Gordon B. Hinckley
A lot of my traditional audience does not appreciate my foray into politics.
Marianne Williamson
We worked for 11 years to get where we are today, and I want to take our work seriously so that later on I’ll be able to appreciate the money we’ve made.
Maurice Gibb
I appreciate humor so much, but I’m actually not a funny girl.
Emmanuelle Chriqui
I appreciate the people there thinking about me, and I look forward to coming back to Paris for that occasion.
Raymond Berry
You have to appreciate the finer points of your work; criticise, too, if needed. I am also my own worst and most honest critic. I can say things which nobody will ever dare say. Even the best of friends will stop at a point, whereas I can go beyond.
Kamal Haasan
Howard Dean has been successful because he was clear in his opposition to the war. People appreciate a politician with the courage to say, I oppose this war.
Bianca Jagger
I learned that you appreciate what you earn much more than what is given you. I also learned that decisions have consequences.
Richard M. DeVos
I appreciate art in any form. So it applies to clothes as well. On stage, I think people prefer me in Indian outfits… in fact, it goes with the kind of songs I sing as well. Indianness in the form of a sari, or a chaniya choli or jeans with something interesting, matches my style of singing.
Shreya Ghoshal
It’s hard to appreciate the importance of the rainforest because it seems so far away, but it’s vital to the survival of the planet as we know it.
Lily Cole
When things haven’t gone well for you, call in a secretary or a staff man and chew him out. You will sleep better and they will appreciate the attention.
Lyndon B. Johnson
Life experience is what defines our character, even if it means getting your heart broken or being lied to. You know, you need the downs to appreciate the ups. Going on the adventure or taking that risk is important.
Nev Schulman
I grew up in a wood cabin on Puget Sound in Manchester, Wash. My family taught me to appreciate the arts and the outdoors, and I still yearn for the absolute silence I experienced there when I was young.
Steven Holl
Flowers die and wine gets consumed. Both are lovely. I appreciate both. Wine and roses. I actually had someone bring me a lobe of foie gras once.
Padma Lakshmi
Readers appreciate the truth. Why say, ‘Some think a situation is a mess?’ Based on my reporting, if a situation is a mess, then I say that. The truth is always what reporters tell each other when they get back to the newsroom.
Kara Swisher
The list of my favorite experiences would almost equal the list of plays I’ve been in. There are a few exceptions, but out of politeness I’m not going to mention them. If you don’t have a few stinkers, you can’t appreciate the good ones.
T. R. Knight
A society that does not correctly interpret and appreciate its past cannot understand its present fortunes and adversities and can be caught unawares in a fast changing world.
Ibrahim Babangida
It’s nice to know that people appreciate and respect you.
Marcel Carne
It is better to lead from behind and to put others in front, especially when you celebrate victory when nice things occur. You take the front line when there is danger. Then people will appreciate your leadership.
Nelson Mandela
People in Scotland appreciate homegrown talent, but it’s getting harder and harder to get films made in Britain.
Robert Carlyle
Well, I certainly was exposed to and learned to appreciate the work of great directors early on. As a kid, my mother used to take me to see really interesting arty films in Los Angeles.
Jodie Foster
Fashion, for me, is anything that’s aesthetic and beautiful. Art, food, film. It’s something that I appreciate and really like.
St. Vincent
I appreciate simplicity, true beauty that lasts over time, and a little wit and eclecticism that make life more fun.
Elliott Erwitt
I had a very difficult childhood. I was surrounded by people who had both parents, which made me feel different. Having a bit of a rougher existence early on, it made me appreciate the work ethic that my grandparents instilled in me.
George Lopez
I think there’s a void for some authentic soul music with an edge. I think there’s some people who grew up with Motown and Stevie Wonder that still can appreciate Future, Drake, and all these different things, too, but there shouldn’t be a void for those people, as well.
Anderson Paak
You’ve got to appreciate the things that come from the art of the Negro and from the heart of the man farthest down.
William Christopher Handy
My ambition is to learn to play the trombone. My wife pulls my leg about it. I’ll find time, my neighbours might not appreciate it but I’m going to try.
John McDonnell
You’ve got to go out there and play the game the way it’s supposed to be played. Then you get people to like you and appreciate your work by just going out there and competing every down. Jerry Rice was looked at in that perspective. He went out there and was a hard-working guy. He was going to give it his all.
Julio Jones
What if you gave someone a gift, and they neglected to thank you for it – would you be likely to give them another? Life is the same way. In order to attract more of the blessings that life has to offer, you must truly appreciate what you already have.
Ralph Marston
To bare our souls is all we ask, to give all we have to life and the beings surrounding us. Here the nature spirits are intense and we appreciate them, make offerings to them – these nature spirits who call us here – sealing our fate with each other, celebrating our love.
Alex Grey
To appreciate the noble is a gain which can never be torn from us.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
We don’t know where our first impressions come from or precisely what they mean, so we don’t always appreciate their fragility.
Malcolm Gladwell
You can’t understand Twenties England until you appreciate it was under a cloud of mourning. Nearly everyone was grieving.
Ian Hislop
We now know how things were in the ’60s and how things have changed, but I don’t think we appreciate how much things have changed.
Karine Vanasse
I’m looking for a Justice who appreciates the awesome responsibility that she will be given, if confirmed. A Justice who understands the gravity of the office and who respects the very different roles that the Constitution provides for each of the three branches of government.
Amy Klobuchar
I appreciate and love blue-green algae.
Vaclav Smil
When one has the feeling of dislike for evil, when one feels tranquil, one finds pleasure in listening to good teachings; when one has these feelings and appreciates them, one is free of fear.
Buddha
As a reader, I appreciate a world that feels unsettled and also visceral, inhabitable, so that’s a quality I try and bring to my own work. In this way, dislocation and precision make total sense to me as a unit.
Laura van den Berg
If I have any particular appeal to women, maybe it’s because I listen more than other guys do and appreciate how they think and feel about things.
Ryan Gosling
If someone who knows what’s going on comes up and says they liked the music, I appreciate that.
John Lurie
I’m attracted to directors in general because I appreciate the work and the job they have to do. I watched the post-production, I watched the pre-production… post-production is something that I’m very interested in and I did spend a lot of time in editing rooms when I was young pretending to be sick.
Alice Englert
If you want a long-term relationship that doesn’t require a lot of work, I say, get a dog. They love you no matter what. But when it comes to humans, there’s no secret; you really have to appreciate the person every single day.
Denis Leary
Kids should feel afraid of ‘Doctor Who.’ All the adults I’ve talked to remember fondly being afraid when they were kids. That’s part of the reason they remember it and love it. And if you’re afraid in a controlled way, you sort of appreciate fear in some respect.
Matt Smith
Few people sufficiently appreciate the colossal task of feeding a world of billions of omnivores who demand meat with their potatoes.
Jonathan Safran Foer
When I went to Everest, I underestimated things. I just didn’t know what altitude could do. Or the cold – I especially didn’t appreciate the cold. It can be just debilitating, and things can happen so quickly.
Jon Krakauer
I appreciate men like Ben Webster and Coleman Hawkins very much.
Stan Getz
I’m not so sure that younger people today really appreciate the enormous bravery that went into the creation and production of that film, or how important a film at the time it really was.
Rod Steiger
A good-humored wife who appreciates most, if not all, of my humor – her price is far above rubies, as the book of Proverbs doesn’t quite say.
Andrew Hudgins
You should also appreciate the goodness around you, and surround yourself with positive people.
Nadia Comaneci
The best way to appreciate our political process is to volunteer for a campaign and support a candidate you believe in.
Rob McKenna
I can’t help but be thankful, and really appreciate everything I have been through, good and bad, because it got me here!
Bria Vinaite
If I’m going to be the best in what I do, I have to study what I’m doing, I have to see what I’m doing. I have to see it, I have to hear it. I’m just starting to appreciate myself – not starting, but appreciating myself in a way where I can look at myself back in a movie or listen to myself as much as I do now.
Mary J. Blige
I think we are evolving rapidly into one world culture. It’s certainly one world economy. With billions of people online, I think we’ll appreciate the wisdom in many different traditions as we learn more about them. People were very isolated and didn’t know anything about other religions 100 years ago.
Ray Kurzweil
My mum loved Joan Armatrading and used to play her records all the time and even took me to see her a couple of times when I was really quite young. I didn’t really like her music back then because my mum was always playing it, but I’ve grown to appreciate it more.
Katy B
The more I work with the body, keeping my assumptions in a temporary state of reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom.
George MacDonald
Although I love travelling and I’ve been to some wonderful places, I always appreciate coming home.
Tony Hadley
Be thankful for what you have. Appreciate the small and simple things.
Kyle Carpenter
Put it before them briefly so they will read it, clearly so they will appreciate it, picturesquely so they will remember it and, above all, accurately so they will be guided by its light.
Joseph Pulitzer
I appreciate the sacrifices my dad made. I went to a great public high school.
Aileen Lee
I don’t want to live my life in a five-star hotel. That’s not real life to me. You can’t appreciate it.
Diane Kruger
I appreciate my journey, but I don’t want that for my kid. Not any of it. It has nothing to do with whether I liked my childhood. I really did. But as a parent, that isn’t the childhood that I’d provide.
Drew Barrymore
‘Monuments Men’ is a movie… I don’t want to say for grown-ups, because some young folks could appreciate it, too. But if you’re expecting ‘Transformers,’ you’re going to be disappointed.
Grant Heslov
I admire traveling; I appreciate it a lot.
Theophilus London
Some people call me a legend and the last of the greats, and I appreciate it.
Don Rickles
I really appreciate artists of the 20th century, and I can see a lot of their influence on my work, but to suggest that my design only fits within an ‘ism’ kind of bothers me.
Michael Arad
There are big problems that change the world. If we are working together, that will make us understand each other, appreciate each other, help each other.
Jack Ma
I’d recommend the high road to anybody. You wonder about it and you don’t really appreciate it until you do it and you find that it worked for everyone. But I recommend it.
Curtis Joseph
I really appreciate life and I never take anything for granted.
A. J. Pritchard
There’s a lot of women in the WNBA. There’s a lot of women who could be here. To be voted by the fans says a lot – that people are aware of what’s going on. I’m really thankful. I think they just really appreciate my talent so I’m definitely grateful.
Lisa Leslie
Monkeys don’t enjoy or appreciate flavours. Experts have told us that human beings are the only beings that can appreciate food at this higher level and the only living beings that cook.
Ferran Adria
What most people do is try to find a comfortable persona that they’re in alignment with and the public likes and appreciates them for.
Billy Corgan
One we discover how to appreciate the timeless values in our daily experiences, we can enjoy the best things in life.
Jerome K. Jerome
I just appreciate my team, appreciate my coaches, appreciate everybody involved, from my coaches, my teammates, the training staff… people in the kitchen at the facility, people who clean the building.
Derrick Henry
I’m somebody who doesn’t feel the need to be in the driver’s seat all the time. I appreciate the perspective of being in the passenger’s seat sometimes, and I feel fortunate for that because I’ve learned a lot from that perspective.
M. Ward
I think people appreciate a songwriter who shows different sides. The whole angst thing is cool, but if that’s all you’ve got, it’s just boring. Everything I write, whether it’s happy or sad, has a sense of humor to it.
Katy Perry
People who look at Apple’s success and think we look at it as, ‘Okay, great, we’re done,’ don’t appreciate what’s really going on here.
Craig Federighi
I hate when a movie just sort of ends and is so open-ended you feel like it wasn’t finished. I appreciate leaving things up to the interpretation of the audience and letting them make decisions about where things will go in the future – but the director has to make a decision; otherwise it is sort of a cop-out.
Zach Gilford
It contributes greatly towards a man’s moral and intellectual health, to be brought into habits of companionship with individuals unlike himself, who care little for his pursuits, and whose sphere and abilities he must go out of himself to appreciate.
Nathaniel Hawthorne
The director is the ultimate creative arbiter of what’s going to happen. And as a director myself, you really appreciate collaborating with people who are trying to help you find what you need and what you want.
Roman Coppola
My parents have always had a great sense of humor. And I really appreciate good humor in songs, witty lyrics that sneak up on you and then you listen again, and say: ‘That’s so funny.’ John Prine’s songs have always had this really witty tone.
Kacey Musgraves
My brother and I were brought up outdoors. We appreciate the countryside; we appreciate nature and everything about it.
Prince Harry
As a parent myself, I can appreciate the MPAA and what they’re supposed to do, but what happens with NC-17 is that the MPAA is basically taking away the rights of parents. They’re basically telling me that I can’t show my kids this movie if I decide they can see it.
Derek Cianfrance
For all the supporters of Tesla over the years, and it’s been several years now and there have been some very tough times, I’d just like to say thank you very much. I deeply appreciate the support, particularly through the darkest times.
Elon Musk
I don’t buy art to put away somewhere. I buy art to appreciate, enjoy, and live with. It’s supposed to add to your life.
Orlando Bloom
I sat with myself one day and asked, ‘Who is in those prestigious literary circles? Do they represent me? Do they appreciate the topics I write about and the style in which I write? Do those gatekeepers let a demographic like mine through the door?’ And the answer was no.
Rupi Kaur
I appreciate and enjoy my age.
Nikki Giovanni
There is so much that is positive, wonderful even, about state schools. At a state school your kids will learn to live alongside and appreciate other kids from many diverse and different cultures.
Arabella Weir
It’s so different when you get a second chance to come back out and do your thing – you’re more humble, you appreciate it more, you know what not to do this second time around.
Da Brat
It is one thing to hear about the forest and the river, but an entirely other experience to go there, to see the environment, and to appreciate the natural riches there first-hand.
Chris Kilham
Change can be uncomfortable and scary. But I believe change exists to teach us to appreciate and enjoy the right now.
Gretchen Bleiler
Unless you have been to boarding-school when you are very young, it is absolutely impossible to appreciate the delights of living at home.
Roald Dahl
Don’t tell me what I need. Start looking at the people in front of you, appreciate the diversity in the community, respect it. Don’t debate it.
Dominique Jackson
It is often said that having gone through any kind of suffering tends to makes you appreciate life more and live more in the present. I’m not sure how universal or long-lasting these effects really are.
Julian Baggini
I appreciate every team that wants me, and I take on every challenge.
Tyson Chandler
In Zurich, in a cafe overlooking the Limmat, I ate butter-drenched white asparagus pulled from the ground that morning; it had the aftertaste of champagne. I’ve been able to appreciate epic meals in San Francisco, New Orleans, Berlin, Paris, Las Vegas.
J. R. Moehringer
There are so few directors who are musical who appreciate music.
Alex North
I was actually picked on as a kid. I guess in high school it started to change for me. I guess being picked on made a lasting impression on me so I never – whenever somebody calls me handsome or anything like that, I never take it for granted. I appreciate it every time I hear it, so it’s never something that gets old.
Lance Gross
When my brother and me got into performing in the late ’40s and early ’50s, it was a sensational opportunity to learn from our elders. Every show we played had a dancer, a comic, a juggler, a singer, an acrobat. I came to appreciate virtuosity in all forms of the business.
Gregory Hines
No one’s forcing me or any other celebrity to take time out of their day to say ‘Hi’ to these fans or do these things. It’s just something we do nine times out of 10 because we love and appreciate our fans.
Lili Reinhart
Deficiency motivation doesn’t work. It will lead to a life-long pursuit of try to fix me. Learn to appreciate what you have and where and who you are.
Wayne Dyer
Being able to travel and see the world really makes me appreciate the blessings in my life. There are so many people that will never get a chance to see some of the things that I’ve seen during my travels. I’ll never take that for granted.
Laz Alonso
I believe that everyone can appreciate the right of a family to grieve the loss of a loved one in peace, regardless of anyone’s position on the war in Iraq and Afghanistan.
Dave Reichert
My main concern is if this composer has been made aware of the fact that I’ve come clean in all of my cases. I killed in pure hate, robbing along the way. So if this person hasn’t, then I’d sure appreciate it if someone would inform him or her of it.
Aileen Wuornos
I think anybody who goes away finds you appreciate home more when you return.
Yo-Yo Ma
I really appreciate Frank Ocean’s lyrical style, I appreciate the way that he can kind of draw you into this personal space, but it’s still lyrical. It’s almost poetic, in a way, but it’s very personal at the same time.
Alicia Keys
People appreciate a good product, a stable system. They want to communicate easily and use a product that just works.
Jan Koum
I struggled with self-esteem issues as a young girl, and it was not until my gymnastics career was completed in 2000 that I realized my accomplishments would not have been possible without my type of body, and I finally started to appreciate and celebrate myself.
Dominique Dawes
I’ve experienced huge kindness here, a great welcome and some very generous reviews without the snide social edge I often suffer from at home. I’m not patronized here either, which I much appreciate!
Joanna Trollope
I don’t think too far ahead because I want to appreciate what’s happening now.
Jessie Ware
It’s only when you grow up, and step back from him, or leave him for your own career and your own home – it’s only then that you can measure his greatness and fully appreciate it. Pride reinforces love.
Margaret Truman
Love is not as important as good health. You cannot be in love if you’re not healthy. You can’t appreciate it.
Bryan Cranston
My dad is truly the person who always made me believe in myself, to appreciate that I was smart.
Wendy Davis
I love what I do, and I just remember that every breath and every moment is a gift and it can be taken away at any time, so I want to appreciate it and be grateful for it while it’s here.
Alyson Stoner
A good teammate is someone willing to get outside of personal thoughts and emotions, a friend who tries to understand, appreciate, and encourage other members of the team.
Don Kardong
As I get older – and wiser of course – I appreciate natural beauty in a different way.
Kaitlyn Bristowe
There’s not a day goes by that I don’t appreciate the freedom that I have to make music and tour and spend time with my family.
Sam Hunt
There is a beauty and clarity that comes from simplicity that we sometimes do not appreciate in our thirst for intricate solutions.
Dieter F. Uchtdorf
The main thing I’ve learned is that we all have to learn to work with – and appreciate – the brain we’ve been given, and not waste time wishing things were easier.
Laini Taylor
I appreciate people trying to stand up for animals.
Dan Bilzerian
I really appreciate family. I really can’t imagine life without them!
Ice Cube
One thing I’ve learned to appreciate as I’ve gotten a little older is direct forms of communication.
Billy Corgan
We know we need bosses and deadlines to help us get work done. But sometimes we can also use an external push to make us have a good time. In both cases, our future self will appreciate the help.
Virginia Postrel
I don’t enjoy eating humble pie; it never tastes good. But I do appreciate it when it happens.
Simon Sinek
I told another ESPN friend here, I love all sports. I can’t think of any I don’t love. I’ve even come to appreciate cricket. Maybe I could play a sportswriter. I don’t know. Anything in the sports realm is appealing.
Sean Astin
At face value, the U.S. Congress, there is a – they have a long way to go before they fully appreciate and understand Iranian people.
Hassan Rouhani
And I’m a believer that you take a negative and turn it into a positive, and as it turned out, it was one of the best things that ever happened to me. And so I do appreciate the Ranger staff and the Ranger organization for giving me that opportunity.
Nolan Ryan
So I’m sorry, I’m going to continue to talk to the people, because I do believe that if they get to know you and what you are as a human being, they can more appreciate what you are as a performer.
Mel Torme
I always appreciate people’s opinions, but sometimes I have to take a step back and remember why I’m writing and what I want to do with it. Shutting out the voices is difficult but it’s been good for me.
Veronica Roth
Tea time is a chance to slow down, pull back and appreciate our surroundings.
Letitia Baldrige
Being a mother is more exhausting than working, and sometimes I push myself too hard and burn myself out. I can appreciate how exhausting it must be for women who have to do everything themselves all the time.
Salma Hayek
While I have some regrets that this is my last opportunity to deliver a State of the State address, I appreciate and am humbled by the opportunities this great state has given me.
Jane D. Hull
I like Cinderella, I really do. She has a good work ethic. I appreciate a good, hard-working gal. And she likes shoes. The fairy tale is all about the shoe at the end, and I’m a big shoe girl.
Amy Adams
Costume designers don’t care about trends. They appreciate, above so many other qualities, that tailoring is everything, which is a mantra for the way I dress. Ladies: The most important thing in clothing is to find a good, inexpensive tailor, because clothes at the stores are made for bodies that are anomalies.
Ginnifer Goodwin
From my point of view what I have to do now is appreciate and enjoy what football gave me, but now do something else with the same energy and enthusiasm I gave to football without expecting the same results.
Graeme Le Saux
I’m always impressed by how compassionate the gaming community can be when they have a cause and appreciate that they leverage our platform to raise money for those in need. We continue to encourage giving in support of important causes, including Extra Life 2012.
Emmett Shear
I always was one who didn’t take things for granted. But I think I do appreciate things more now. The small moments of joy that we find each day are so much more precious now than when I looked at them before.
Chris LeDoux
You never appreciate your anonymity until you don’t have it anymore.
Jason Priestley
I now, more and more, appreciate when I’m in a group of good people and get to work in good movies and projects. I’m wildly grateful and appreciative.
Jeff Goldblum
I am tired of being in an industry that doesn’t appreciate me.
Luther Campbell
I taught high school English for 24 years. I always teach my students to appreciate the beauty of language and to write poetically.
Mark Takano
I have no problem with the people who work hard to get success. But I think people are very jealous about success. I work very hard and they don’t appreciate that.
Alain Prost
I have been able to get a small audience. It’s not the huge audience, but it’s enough to make it possible to play. I appreciate that.
Lee Konitz
It’s great when people appreciate your work, but I don’t know how seriously to take it. The amazing thing is that I found something so early that I can support myself doing, and that can even be extremely lucrative, but I love it either way.
Adrien Brody
I appreciate the positivity of those ‘year of the woman’ articles – it’s good to get that energy out there – but at the same time, in Hollywood it’s not happening yet.
Diablo Cody
Maids in India have egos. Big egos. They do not like being spoken to curtly, and they do not like to be abruptly instructed by a woman they do not know. They come with the feeling that they already know everything. So while training them to do things your way, speak gently, and when they do it right, appreciate it.
Karisma Kapoor
Fashion always was a huge interest of mine. I love beautiful clothes. I appreciate fine beading and lovely fabrics.
Sasha Cohen
This wealth of experiences, personal and professional, have helped me appreciate the variety of perspectives that present themselves in every case that I hear.
Sonia Sotomayor
I like it when my wife is in her jeans, with very little makeup. But, I also appreciate the range – the different ways she can look. The moment she walks out all dressed up and… whoa! That’s always good.
Patrick Wilson
It’s hard to appreciate success in modeling, because it’s not something you feel like you’ve earned, so there is a little bit of bread of shame that comes with that. It’s like somebody giving you a puzzle that’s already put together.
Ashton Kutcher
Everybody has their role in the food world and what they choose to appreciate. I’m not a fine dining chef. I appreciate it. I think Thomas Keller is amazing. But I really like where I’m at; I like what I do. I like how it makes people feel.
Guy Fieri
I’ve had 60 years of ups and downs, and all of the downs that I’ve had, I’m happy that I’ve had them because it’s taught me to appreciate all the ups.
Patti LaBelle
We want to make it so that anyone, anywhere – a child growing up in rural India who never had a computer – can go to a store, get a phone, get online, and get access to all of the same things that you and I appreciate about the Internet.
Mark Zuckerberg
Everyone has a crazy old lady in their family like ‘Mama.’ No one ever comes up to me and says ‘Mama’ is just like them, so no one is ever offended by her. Even young people like to laugh at her. I think she helps kids appreciate their own grandmothers more.
Vicki Lawrence
As a songwriter, you respect and appreciate the writings of other people, and I often get asked, are there songs out there I wish I’d written? Yes. There’s many of them!
Dolly Parton
I have been a big fan of the ‘Fast and the Furious’ franchise. The films are fast-paced, fun and keep the audience involved. There is a great mix of humor and action, something I really appreciate.
Tony Jaa
The amount of time it took me to get a show like ‘Shameless’ was definitely worth it because of the people and the material. I can appreciate it because I know what it’s like when I didn’t have a show.
Shanola Hampton
Just being with dogs, I learned their ways and began to appreciate things from their point of view.
Cesar Millan
Oddly enough, MS has made my life so much better than it was before. I now appreciate what I have and I am not running around like a rat in a maze.
Teri Garr
I appreciate actors who work very hard to get at the truth of the character they’re playing. That speaks to me, and I try to protect that process because I value the focus and intention behind it.
Marc Platt
When you mimic everyone, sometimes authority figures really don’t appreciate it which is not an original story. And pretty much every comedian has some tale of that.
Hank Azaria
‘Twilight’ fans are different. They’re very civil with one another. It’s a respect because they’re all in this together and they all appreciate the same things.
Rami Malek
Your personal capacity to handle more valuable projects will go up when you appreciate yourself more.
Brian Koslow
The laughs mean more to me than the adoration. If two girls walk up to me and one says ‘you’re cute’, I’ll say thank you, but I appreciate it much more when the other one says ‘you make me laugh so much’.
Michael J. Fox
Could you say ‘senator’ instead of ‘ma’am? It’s just a thing. I worked so hard to get that title. I’d appreciate it.
Barbara Boxer
I didn’t appreciate how special and sometimes strange my CIA world was – until it suddenly and spectacularly ended in a newspaper column.
Valerie Plame
You can find a mentor; you have to ask questions, you have to show interest in what the other person is doing. You have to have curiosity – I think that people appreciate that and will want to help you.
Nina Garcia
People who haven’t done commercials, don’t appreciate how hard it is.
Justin Long
It’s a good marriage because each of us is what we are, allows the other one to be themselves, and appreciates each other for the right reason. You know, it’s rare that you’ll find two people who don’t try to change the other person and let everyone be what they are.
Peter Marino
If you want to be happy you need to think of yourself as a container of energy. There is a universal energy, yes of course, it embraces us. When you appreciate this, life becomes a lot more exciting. You don’t live life, life lives you.
Noel Edmonds
People who don’t like football don’t appreciate my game, but I like it.

I appreciate every moment.
Young M.A
I think its important to keep an element of fear about yourself because it makes you appreciate the jobs.
Rose Byrne
My working and personal relationship with President Obama is marked by growing trust. I appreciate this.
Vladimir Putin
I think you need to go through some stuff to really appreciate life and understand what it means to persevere, overcome and have faith. I think those tough times make you a stronger person.
Judith Hill
I really appreciate the sport background because the structure and the discipline that that gives a person is incredible, and it just carries with you wherever you go.
Estella Warren
I’m constantly on the go and have found rushing round after a new born baby is the best form of exercise! I always remind myself that men appreciate a womanly shape and some curves!
Abbey Clancy
It’s good to do things slow in the bush. It makes you appreciate everything a lot more.
Ricky Williams
Americans appreciate the way our friends around the world are sticking by us, and we all hope for their continued support in what’s going to be some very trying times.
Joe Lando
In order to appreciate a great man, we must know his surroundings. We must understand the scope of the drama in which he played – the part he acted – and we must also know his audience.
Robert Green Ingersoll
I so much appreciate it when anybody tries to make something and tries to be an artist – I’m happy to see the work.
Laurie Anderson
My mother made me listen to Carnatic music saying that only then I will be able to appreciate any good music. But what this has also done for me is that I’m unable to accept modern-day cinema songs.
Y. G. Mahendran
It was such a leap in my career when ‘Truman Show’ came along. It’s always been a long process for me insofar as recognition goes, but that’s OK because you appreciate it when it comes.
Jim Carrey
Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful.
Zoe Kravitz
I didn’t appreciate the young woman that I was, or my young beauty, because I was so obsessed with the fact that I felt fat. It’s never good to add to anybody else’s suffering. It’s an important topic to really get the gravity and the importance of – dealing with dignity.
Margaret Cho
I like complicated dishes but also appreciate simple foods.
Michael Mina
Eventually I booked a 2-line role on a show called ‘JAG’ and slowly the parts got bigger and better. I’m very thankful that I had to appreciate how difficult the business is before I had any kind of success.
Samuel Witwer
My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life – that is, to be happy.
Robert Baden-Powell
By the late 1980s people realized that houses did not always appreciate and that they could fluctuate like any other market commodity.
Ron Chernow
I’ve never given my phone number to someone on the street, but when someone is a gentleman, I appreciate the compliments.
Aja Naomi King
At the most basic level, I appreciate writers who have something to say.
Daniel Alarcon
I can say I love working with women. Film is a man’s world, and I really appreciate the opportunity to collaborate with women, especially young women.
Olivia Thirlby
As far as my solo record, I don’t want a gold record or anything, I’m happy to be small and to have the people appreciate the music who really like me for being me.
John Frusciante
In terms of diet, my parents had a restaurant business so I don’t eat any junk food – they taught me to appreciate good food.
Camille Rowe
There is clearly a constituency that appreciates the message that Google is sending, that it finds the Chinese government’s attitude to the Internet and censorship unacceptable.
Rebecca MacKinnon
It seems to me that in the western world, culture has something to do with appearance. A person that’s out creating good stuff has got to appreciate someone when they take the time to have an appearance that goes with what they’re doing.
Ornette Coleman
I guess coming after ‘Country Grammar’ and everybody thinking, ‘Well maybe, that was it.’ To come back with something like ‘Nellyville’ and to have people accept it and appreciate it the way they did, that was a great move.
Nelly
Most of all, our troops from Alabama said they appreciate the care packages from folks back home.
Mike Rogers
This band is a real collaboration, and I’m greatful to anybody who can appreciate our music. It doesn’t have to be a certain kind of fan or person or anything. I think there’s a little bit of something for everybody on this record.
Krist Novoselic
I don’t appreciate people invading my privacy.
Dolores O’Riordan
Those who appreciate the ways of simple tribes, where every activity is direct and immediately understandable, are able to live among them.
Ella Maillart
Men sometimes feel injured by praise because it assigns a limit to their merit; few people are modest enough not to take offense that one appreciates them.
Luc de Clapiers
I like to go outside at night by myself and look at the sky and just appreciate it. I’m not that big of a weirdo, but – occasionally.
Kendall Jenner
I really appreciate people like Rosie coming out and saying I’ve inspired them.
Wanda Jackson
It’s important that the adults appreciate that young people are capable of doing really astounding work.
Vint Cerf
I do appreciate a woman who has a passion for sports and knows their stuff.
Jerry Ferrara
It is that, but really, it’s about how we don’t recognise the little things in life, or appreciate the little things in life like belonging. A sense of belonging is a big thing today.
James Caan
I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.
James Dean
A book is worth a few francs; we Germans can afford to destroy those. We all may not appreciate artistic merit, but cash value is another matter.
Paul Scofield
I’m a traditionalist with suits. It doesn’t need extra pockets, and I don’t want headphone jacks in my jacket. I appreciate designers who do different things, but for me, the most basic version of that item is what I want.
Waris Ahluwalia
I consider myself really lucky to be able to visit so many parts of the world, but after all of that, I love to come home. I appreciate my own space and the world I create for myself, my family and friends.
Kylie Minogue
I appreciate life, talk a lot, love to laugh, and am very optimistic.
Kiana Tom
If you have the opportunity to play this game of life you need to appreciate every moment. A lot of people don’t appreciate the moment until it’s passed.
Kanye West
I can never thoroughly appreciate meals on ships because, away from land, I feel my autonomy is restricted.
Michael Portillo
It turns out that understanding the British public is not rocket science. The British appreciate honesty and they also have a bonkers, off-the-wall sense of humour like me.
Nicole Scherzinger
Morals always sound like cliches, but usually cliches are based on things that are ultimate truths. Be grateful for what you have; appreciate what’s right there in front of you.
Henry Selick
I appreciate my role as an actor much more after I direct because it’s just easier.
Bryan Cranston
For guys who are into fitness, I think it’s important to wear slim-fit stuff that is pretty tight so they can show off the bodies they have been working hard to have. Women are going to appreciate that.
Carl Hagelin
All the Disney Princess films are iconic and beautiful, so to have been a part of all that was really a wonderful part of my life. It’s all fabulous, too, that I have a daughter that appreciates the whole Princess thing.
Lea Salonga
My mom has given me my sense of style. She has taught me how individual style is so beautiful, what you appreciate on someone else might not be good for you. For her, style is all about being comfortable, and she has an innate sense of sophisticated style.
Bibhu Mohapatra
I think voters appreciate that I’m not sitting in the back row, waiting for my turn.
Steve Southerland
I think the thing that I most appreciate now is that stereotypes involving Jewish identity activate fears of persecution that exist in the present day.
Gregg Easterbrook
Not to sound overly cheesy but I really appreciate the freedom we have in America – especially as a female.
Katy Perry
I like being surrounded by people who have very little fear and very little respect for the past – not in a negative way, but in a positive way. They appreciate everything that’s been done, but they constantly look for how to do it better.
Dan Rosensweig
There’s something about death that is comforting. The thought that you could die tomorrow frees you to appreciate your life now.
Angelina Jolie
I very deeply appreciate the honour which you have conferred upon me in awarding the Nobel Prize for 1923 to me and Professor J.J.R. Macleod.
Frederick Banting
I appreciate an audience that reacts to the music, even if they jump on stage and try to beat us up, I think that’s a fantastic reaction. I think that they’re really hearing something then.
Alice Cooper
Pain can be a haunting reminder to appreciate every waking moment.
Lecrae
There’s nothing fake about me. And I think there are some people that appreciate that. Even if they hate me, they appreciate the fact that I’m 100 percent authentically me.
Maxwell Jacob Friedman
I usually choose movies that I would want to see. I appreciate drama and if the right script came across my desk, drama you will see.
Danny McBride
Living with eight other people teaches you what to give up and what to take from others, and you have to appreciate each other.
Nayeon
I would like beautiful gymnastics to be recognized as the best. I want the judges to appreciate things that are not necessarily winning points.
Kohei Uchimura
Childhood has definitely been invented, hasn’t it? I think that’s because people had children later, and we appreciate and cherish childhood a lot more.
Helen McCrory
I remember in Charlotte, they looked to me every day. I’m 30 now. And now it’s, ‘Let’s just win.’ Maybe when I was 26 there would have been ego. Now, I just appreciate the recognition for the defense.
Larry Johnson
I’ve loved the opportunity to learn about the fashion world and appreciate it as an art form, and I look forward to my continued education, but I never want it to take over my acting.
Lupita Nyong’o
When you’re playing first base, you help the infielders a lot. They appreciate you when you pick their ball. It’s fun to help that.
Cody Bellinger
I don’t think I could have a genuine relationship with someone who didn’t love to travel and appreciate new foods. Traveling is a big part of my life, and I want to share that with the people close to me.
Candice Accola
It’s possible that you have been told a time or 10 that you don’t appreciate how tough your elders had it. It’s true that, if you had been coming of age back in, say, 1960, you would probably be feeling more restricted, if only because you were doomed to spend your days in a skirt, nylon stockings and girdle.
Gail Collins
I didn’t appreciate, coming out of corporate America… what it meant to a founder, the creator of the Macintosh, to be asked to step down from the very division that he created to lead the very product that he believed was going to change the world.
John Sculley
Diet cola is my absolute favorite drink in the world; I used to drink four cans a day. But to help me cut down, I’ve turned it into a treat. Now, instead of having dessert, I’ll have a can of diet soda. Putting a limit on how often I can drink it has helped me appreciate it more.
Kaley Cuoco
If all we remember are good things, then happiness is our baseline, and there’s no longer happiness. We need other feelings in order to appreciate others.
Aja Naomi King
A lot of the players are not involved with any NHL team, so to play and travel around with the Oldtimers’ it’s a kind of gift that the players really appreciate.
Guy Lafleur
I appreciate subtlety. I have never enjoyed a kiss in front of the camera. There’s nothing to it except not getting your lipstick smeared.
Hedy Lamarr
I learned more of how to appreciate what I had then – my family, my kids, the talent that God gives you – because He can take it away at any time. He took it away from Brian through death. He took it away from me through my knees.
Gale Sayers
I appreciate when people enjoy my work, but I don’t like being recognized in public.
Gabriel Basso
When I went into the last lap I was regretting a bit that it was over. I was enjoying again the first sector for the last time. Simply fantastic this circuit, and if you get 53 laps more, you appreciate it even more. It’s made by God’s hands.
Sebastian Vettel
The stories that I want to tell, especially as a director, don’t necessarily have a perfect ending because, the older you get, the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day; the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.
Drew Barrymore
He’s working a lot harder than I am. I tell these people that we really appreciate what they’re doing for us.
Mark Kelly
I met the Queen, the Pope, and we went all over Europe and Asia. I just wish I was older when I did all this. Then I could appreciate it more.
Ricky Schroder
I am doing what I love to do, and you cannot beat that, especially when the audience appreciates what you prepare for them. It’s very, very gratifying.
Aretha Franklin
Enjoy the moment and appreciate what you have.
Marisa Miller
I’m a survivor of life. I try to give the glory to God and appreciate what’s happening to me.
Mike Epps
I didn’t have a normal childhood by any means. But it was what it was, and I appreciate what my parents did for me.
Tre Cool
It’s very easy to get caught up in everything that’s going on and just daily stuff being a distraction. When you have all that taken away from you, your daily activity becomes a lot more subtle, and you appreciate it all a lot more.
Tony Stewart
And you can tell the writers who do it – Robert Stone, for example, who with each new novel is doing something new. I appreciate that in other writers.
Tobias Wolff
I learned to appreciate repetition. That’s why I can dance. It’s how I learned to act. I have a high tolerance for repetition.
Channing Tatum
On climate change, we often don’t fully appreciate that it is a problem. We think it is a problem waiting to happen.
Kofi Annan
A lot has been written and said about why he was so great, but I think the best way to appreciate his greatness is just to go back and play some of the old records. Time has a way of being very unkind to old records, but Elvis’ keep getting better and better.
Huey Lewis
I really believe that God puts things in front of you for a reason, even if you don’t always appreciate it in the moment.
Amanda Borden
I’m not sure if I’m most happy when I’m comfortable and content or when I’m pushing myself to the limits. There are such different versions of happy, and I really appreciate both.
Kristen Stewart
I appreciate a lot in this life; the things you cannot buy. Life is only once. I am happy being here and all the things that are a risk I normally avoid.
Rafael Nadal
Acting never was about the money for me… Maybe in 10 years, I’ll be able to appreciate the fact that I am financially stable and independent and I don’t have to make bad choices. I can be very picky.
Emma Watson
I appreciate your support, particularly this year, for sticking with me.
Maria Shriver
Even leftists can appreciate the beauty of traditional religion and culture. Unfortunately they tend to reject the spirit that animates that beauty.
Michael J. Knowles
Paris is one of the most beautiful places in all the world. Unfortunately, I was so homesick I couldn’t appreciate its beauty.
Tyra Banks
I think mobility is very important, not only to discover opportunities elsewhere but at times, also to appreciate better what your home town has. Allahabad, for instance, has the feel of a small, tightly-knit community where everyone participates.
Vikas Swarup
I’m a guy that appreciates spontaneity and a woman being genuine and different.
Trey Songz
I just try not to label myself in any way. I just have an allergy to labels in general. I can tell you that I am surrounded by very strong women and that I really appreciate that, but I’d rather not label myself.
Penelope Cruz
I had such a wonderful life before drugs and alcohol abuse. I’ve got that life back now and plan to keep it. Maybe I had to go through what I did to get to this point, to appreciate this life more.
Harvey Martin
I live in a constant state of gratitude, thankfulness, and appreciation for the second chance I was given, so anytime in any film, when that is given to someone, I always appreciate it.
Shawn Michaels
The thing about dating someone who listens to a totally different genre than you is they can help you find things to appreciate in that genre.
Hannah Simone
The older I get, the more I appreciate my rural childhood. I spent a lot of time outdoors, unsupervised, which is a blessing.
Barbara Kingsolver
I’ve been watching RFD-TV for a few years. As a person who lives mostly in the country, I appreciate a network that shows the many facets of rural life.
Daryl Hall
I first saw the island of Noirmoutier when I was two weeks old. I think it’s probably safe to say that I didn’t fully appreciate it at the time; but I grew to love it as year after year I spent holidays there at my grandparents’ cottage.
Joanne Harris
The ocean is the lifeblood of our world. If we were to lose our fish that we appreciate so much by overfishing; or if we were to lose some of our favorite beaches to overbuilding and pollution, then how would we feel? It’s become a case of not knowing what you’ve got until it’s gone.
Aaron Peirsol
Whenever I’m offered something, I always read the script and meet the director. I still appreciate just being considered.
Steve Carell
All my success seems to come straight away, and it’s not until later that I get to appreciate it. Like with ‘Popstars,’ I won the competition, and now I look back and go, ‘God, I was lucky to have number-one singles and albums.’
Sophie Monk
Make it a habit to tell people thank you. To express your appreciation, sincerely and without the expectation of anything in return. Truly appreciate those around you, and you’ll soon find many others around you. Truly appreciate life, and you’ll find that you have more of it.
Ralph Marston
The more we study the Indian’s character the more we appreciate the marked distinction between the civilized being and the real savage.
Nelson A. Miles
Some actors don’t mind it. Those who are pretty. They think it’s nice to be looked at because they are nice to look at. I appreciate that. I’m very happy to salute that aspiration. But I don’t like the way I look so I don’t like being photographed. I become defensive.
Richard Griffiths
I appreciate anything thoughtful.
Hilary Rhoda
If philosophy is to be a valuable part of life, we have to appreciate it for its own sake, and not just for what it’s done for us lately.
Julian Baggini
As always, I appreciate all the love and support people have sent and continue to send my way.
Patrick Swayze
Don’t forget to appreciate everyone you have in your life… not everyone is blessed to have them like you do.
Bretman Rock
There are so many ways to talk with the people who appreciate my help.
Laura Schlessinger
The thing I can say about all this stuff that’s going on right now is that I appreciate it.
Josh Duhamel
Foreign powers do not seem to appreciate the true character of our government.
James K. Polk
I appreciate people who try and use language in an interesting way.
Jarvis Cocker
What’s really important in life? Sitting on a beach? Looking at television eight hours a day? I think we have to appreciate that we’re alive for only a limited period of time, and we’ll spend most of our lives working.
Victor Kiam
When you are mute, you become a good listener – it’s all one-way. You appreciate the written word. You appreciate the sound.
James Earl Jones
I will always appreciate ‘American Idol,’ and I never forget about where I come from.
Lee DeWyze
As you can appreciate over my lifetime I’ve developed a large vocabulary of sounds each requiring certain physical techniques often combined with a specific effect box.
Adrian Belew
I used to draw cartoons. I’d just show them to some of my friends, expecting that they were going to appreciate them, that they were going to enjoy reading them.
Shigeru Miyamoto
You don’t appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life.
Emo Philips
I’ve been that celebrity on the red carpet, and I appreciate that something hasn’t got to just look good from the front, from the back, it’s got to look good at all angles.
Victoria Beckham
Every dancer has injuries, and your injury could happen that season that you were getting that one part that you’ve wanted to do your whole career. So you have to appreciate every single moment until it happens.
Amanda Schull
I don’t set out to win awards. I don’t think any musician does, but when you receive an award, it’s an affirmation: it means that people appreciate what you do. Every award I have received is a confirmation of something I have done, and that motivates me to push a little harder.
Wadada Leo Smith
Whether we appreciate it or not, we live out our lives surrounded by an intricate pattern of social connections… We’re all embedded in this network; it affects us profoundly and we may be unaware of its existence, of its effect on us.
Nicholas A. Christakis
People are realistic enough to appreciate what the market values of different people are.
Azim Premji
There’s no one in Israel who appreciates more than me the importance of American support for Israel.
Benjamin Netanyahu
I have had the pleasure of knowing Mitt Romney for several years now. There’s so much to appreciate about him. He fixes things. He’s results-driven. He’s taken broken companies and made them successful.
Nikki Haley
I can consider not only great art, but the context in which that art has been created. I can consider the people who paid a price for that art to be created and whether or not I want to appreciate that art on their backs.
Roxane Gay
I have to expose myself and then accept the judgment that audiences and critics will have. And that’s okay. I appreciate the elliptical nature of it. Sometimes people are more in the mood to be nice to me than others, and that’s great.
Claire Danes
As an immigrant, I appreciate, far more than the average American, the liberties we have in this country. Silence is a big enemy of morality. I don’t want our blunders in history to get repeated.
Gloria Estefan
I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.
Emily Blunt
I am satisfied that our Party and youth league officials are devoting efforts to tending the garden of virtues with all sincerity true to the Party’s idea of attaching importance to young people, and highly appreciate them with a warm heart.
Kim Jong-un
I love more than anything looking at a movie scene by scene and seeing the intention behind it. It allows you to really appreciate the hand of the filmmaker.
Jodie Foster
Embrace your vulnerability and celebrate your flaws; it will let you appreciate the world around you and make you more compassionate.
Masaba Gupta
While traveling around the world, I’ve had the opportunity to work with every living beauty icon. I’ve learned to appreciate idiosyncrasy. The fact is, there is really no such thing as ‘normal’ – everybody’s different, and that is the essence of their beauty.
Kevyn Aucoin
As we travel around Britain, I am convinced most of us cannot really appreciate what we are seeing. We take too much for granted, because it is all so familiar.
Martin Parr
But I think the other is a little more like bullfighting, a little more daring and although I appreciate good acting and I liked being versatile my whole career, it kept me working.
Robert Klein
When I see that my geek may have contained some of the best parts of me, when I love and appreciate him, I set my children free to see themselves as lovable however they are.
Kenny Loggins
I’ve been trying to really live in the moment because I will never get this part of it back. As soon as the movie comes out, everyone will turn it into what they believe it is, so I’ve really been trying to appreciate every minute of now. Because I know what’s coming.
Rooney Mara
I don’t mean to be arrogant and I really appreciate my fans but talking about what I am doing is not something I’m good at. I do what I do and that’s it. I want to get back to my work and do more of it instead of talking about it.
Henry Rollins
Everyone wants to be appreciated, so if you appreciate someone, don’t keep it a secret.
Mary Kay Ash
People who understand basketball definitely appreciate what I bring to the table.
Tyson Chandler
Sometimes a person has to be dead a while before people can appreciate what they did when they were alive.
Curtis Armstrong
I always felt very secure and very safe with real estate. Real estate always appreciates.
Ivana Trump
I’m down to earth; people sense that and they appreciate it.
Drew Carey
What people fail to appreciate is that the currency of corruption in elective office is, not money, but votes.
James L. Buckley
If God had made a perfect world, it would be a magic trick, not creation, with no meaning or place for us to learn and create. Mankind is not yet ready for a perfect world. We do not know how to appreciate perfection.
Bernie Siegel
I’m really getting to appreciate traditional jazz now – the New Orleans stuff – a lot more than I did before.
John Goodman
