Wer sich nicht wehrt, lebt verkehrt.
Vergiss im Winter nicht die Bienen, nur weil sie schlafen!
There's sadness to anyone that dies before their time, and specifically ones that seem to affect people in a positive way. It doesn't matter if it's Whitney Houston or a nameless, faceless person on the street. That's just as big of a tragedy for me.
When I started writing songs for Temple of the Dog, I went to my room with my acoustic guitar, and I was happy staying in that mode. It was more chordal based and more lyric driven. I enjoyed not making riff-based songs built around a guitar idea.
I think Freddie Mercury is probably the best of all time in terms of a rock voice. There was a vulnerability to it, his technical ability was amazing, and so much of his personality would come out through his voice. I'm not even a guy to buy Queen records, really, and I still think he's one of the best.
One of the main dilemmas that's pretty common to a lot of people who are getting older is the idea that maybe there's a finish line and that maybe there's a time in your life when you start to slow down and stop and smell the roses and just kind of settle into what will be a comfortable period in your life.
And if you don't believe the sun will rise, stand alone and greet the coming night in the last remaining light.
Am Anfang jeder Rolle die ich spiele, muss ich bei den Grundlagen anfangen und mich weiter entwickeln.
Ich bin nicht eitel... aber ich stehe gerne im rechten Licht.
I always assumed that like my mother before me, one day I would have children.
I've learned that I can't have a packed work schedule and a packed social schedule and a packed personal life; I need to just have time to myself to sit and breathe and unwind.
What I wear is a reflection of where I am going and how I am feeling. If I'm in a good mood, it's got to be cashmere and jeans - just something comfy, soft and warm. When I'm down, I might find something that I haven't worn for a while that was bought for me - or wear a brooch or a pair of shoes that are like old friends.
Der Baseball Schwung ist ein perfekt abgestimmtes Instrument. Er muss wiederholt werden, weiter wiederholt werden, und noch mehr danach.
In dem Gebäude am Park Avenue wohnen zehn Leute, die die Yankees kaufen könnten, aber keiner davon wäre in der Lage, den Ball aus dem Yankee Stadium zu hitten.
I represent both the underdog and the overdog in our society.
Everybody in the league knew I had trouble with the inside pitch. I got away with it only because the great majority of pitchers were afraid of making a mistake in that spot. The threat of power is one of the best weapons you have in the batter's box.
When people push back on you and don't think you can do it, and you struggle a little bit and wonder if they're right, it drives you to be successful and to be a great player.
Ob man spielt oder nicht - man hat in etwa die gleiche Chance im Lotto zu gewinnen.
Romantische Liebe ist eine geistige Krankheit. Aber eine Schöne. Sie ist eine Droge. Sie lässt die Realität verschwimmen, und nur darum geht's. Es wäre unmöglich sich in die Wahrheit zu verlieben.
Do not, on a rainy day, ask your child what he feels like doing, because I assure you that what he feels like doing, you won't feel like watching.
Das Telefon ist ein guter Weg um mit Menschen zu sprechen, ohne ihnen einen Drink anbieten zu müssen.
In der Sowjetunion hat der Kapitalismus den Kommunismus besiegt. In unserem Land hat der Kapitalismus die Demokratie besiegt.
Fran Lebowitz (US-American writer)
In unseren Träumen und Bestrebungen finden wir unsere Chancen.
Entschlossenheit ist die eine Eigenschaft, die einen guten Manager ausmacht.
Die Geschwindigkeit des Chefs, ist die Geschwindigkeit des Teams.
Motivation ist alles. Man kann die Arbeit von zwei Leuten erledigen, aber man kann nicht zwei Leute sein. Stattdessen muss man den nächsten Mitarbeiter motivieren und ihn dazu zu bringen, seine Leute zu inspirieren.
In times of great stress or adversity, it's always best to keep busy, to plow your anger and your energy into something positive.
Geteiltes Leid ist halbes Leid.
Die meisten meiner Songs schreibe ich, während ich schlechte Laune habe.
Ich versuche mich immer in unangenehme Situationen zu bringen. Nachlässigkeit ist mein Feind.
Balance is good, because one extreme or the other leads to misery, and I've spent a lot of my life at one of those extremes.
In my life, I was always floating around the edge of the dark side and saying what if take it a little bit too far, and who says you have to stop there, and what's behind the next door. Maybe you gain a wisdom from examining those things. But after a while, you get too far down in the quicksand.
And when the day arrives I'll become the sky and I'll become the sea and the sea will come to kiss me for I am going home. Nothing can stop me now.
Uns allen wurden irgendwelche Talente mitgegeben. Meines ist es eben, Leute zu verhauen.
Boxen ist die ultimative Herausforderung. Es gibt nichts vergleichbares dazu, sich selbst immer wieder beim Betreten des Rings auf die Probe zu stellen.
Looking back, yes, I made too many comebacks. But each comeback I was 100 percent sure that I would win. I never came back for the money, because I didn't need it. The adulation I was getting anyway in other spheres. But I'm a guy who likes to see how close he can get to the edge of the mountain - that's what makes me tick.
Menschen sind zu mehr in der Lage als sie glauben. Physisch, mental, akademisch. Du musst dich motivieren. Es tut weh. Aber es ist es wert, und das ist gut so.
Manchmal sind deine Hater deine größte Motivation.
I don't mind being by myself, even in a foreign country.
A question I get asked a lot in pro-ams is how I'm able to swing the club as hard as I do. Honestly, I'm not swinging that hard. I'm using about 75 percent of my maximum effort.
As long as every tournament, every year, you're getting better and better, that's all that matters.
I'm pretty chill.
I have three kids, the oldest is 18 and her friends are going to see it The Aristocrats because they told her they're going to see it, especially her guy friends.
I've just never been a person that was political or religiously savvy. Except for the fact that I was born Jewish. That gives me 10 circumcision jokes.
I've taken Midol before. My daughters find that hilarious. I had a headache and cramps, and there were no other pain relievers with caffeine in the house.
Now I've literally become neighborhood watch. I call 911 on people. I'm the old man driving 25-miles-per-hour down Sunset.
As soon as I go into a dark subject, like discussing the people I've loved and lost, I off-road into absurdist comedy perversion. It's both a means of protection and a kind of denial, a blessing and a curse. Wait, it's not a blessing at all. I guess it would be a bad habit and a curse.
Zeitgenössische Architekten tendieren dazu, alles in einen modernen Rahmen zu zwängen. Die Geschichte kommt dabei oft zu kurz.
Eine Stadt ist nicht nur eine Ansammlung von Gebäuden, sondern eine Abfolge von Raum, umgeben und definiert von Gebäuden.
Architektur darf weder den Raum noch die Umgebung bedrängen.
