~ Bear Grylls
By no means do I try to go out and hang out with famous people.
~ Brad Paisley
Becoming famous is a really shocking thing, especially when you don't have aspirations to it. It got to the point where I would try and avoid making eye contact with anyone. It was freaky, and it just happened overnight. I couldn't handle it.
~ Alison Moyet
Mistakes are almost always of a sacred nature. Never try to correct them. On the contrary: rationalize them, understand them thoroughly. After that, it will be possible for you to sublimate them.
~ Salvador Dalí
I can't go against my nature because I am what I am. I don't try to be anyone different to who I am.

I've got to really try and manage my patience out there.
~ Jason Day

~ Mother Angelica
If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.
~ Debra Winger
The true face of smoking is disease, death and horror - not the glamour and sophistication the pushers in the tobacco industry try to portray.
~ David Byrne
In order to go on living one must try to escape the death involved in perfectionism.
~ Hannah Arendt
A real hangover is nothing to try out family remedies on. The only cure for a real hangover is death.

The worst form of inequality is to try to make unequal things equal.
~ Aristotle
I wanted to be with the kind of people I'd grown up with, but you can't go back to them and be one of them again, no matter how hard you try.
~ Ethel Waters

~ Leelee Sobieski
I try to apply colors like words that shape poems, like notes that shape music.
~ Joan Miró
I have music inside me and I'm very lucky to be able to play music and that's the way that I try to do it.
~ Charlie Haden
Most people live and die with their music still unplayed. They never dare to try.
~ Mary Kay Ash
I do listen to other music though, and try to pick up what is good.
~ Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan
I love music passionately. And because I love it I try to free it from barren traditions that stifle it.
~ Claude Debussy
I feel like I was the only person who was capable of making this type of music in this type of way. I don't rap like nobody, I don't try to sound like nobody.
~ Mos Def
I try to make sure that the Buddhism is more or less implicit in the music rather than explicit.
~ Duncan Sheik
Try to keep your soul young and quivering right up to old age.
~ George Sand
We try, we fail, we posture, we aspire, we pontificate - and then we age, shrink, die, and vanish.

Each week, I post a video about some 'Pigeon of Discontent' raised by a reader. Because, as much as we try to find the 'Bluebird of Happiness,' we're also plagued by those small but pesky 'Pigeons of Discontent.'
~ Gretchen Rubin
I try to sit still for about 15 minutes each morning without making lists or running in overdrive.
~ Alex Guarnaschelli
I like to try to do a little work before I do anything in the morning, even if it's a paragraph.
~ Sloane Crosley
I respect the audience's intelligence a lot, and that's why I don't try to go for the lowest common denominator.
~ Spike Lee
I don't deny that there are problems in the intelligence world, but I would argue that in the UK we try to uphold the highest standards in the world.
~ William Hague
I studied architecture in New York. So, really I was very moved, like everyone else, to try to contribute something that has that resonance and profundity of it means to all of us.
~ Daniel Libeskind
So what we have tried to do in our later buildings is to try to be completely consistent, as a painter is consistent or as a sculptor is consistent. Architecture also must be very consistent.
~ Minoru Yamasaki
Education in our times must try to find whatever there is in students that might yearn for completion, and to reconstruct the learning that would enable them autonomously to seek that completion.
