If a man gets drunk and goes out and breaks his leg so that it must be amputated, God will forgive him if he asks it, but he will have to hop around on one leg all his life.

Dwight L. Moody

Mike Tyson fit the American ideal of a boxer. A fighter who jumps out of his corner and hits out fiercely. That?s what he?'ll be remembered for. But good boxing doesn?t work like that. Tyson never won on points. It was clear that he?'d come a cropper some day.

Lennox Lewis

A farmer's horse is never lame, never unfit to go. Never throws out curbs, never breaks down before or behind. Like his master he is never showy. He does not paw and prance, and arch his neck, and bid the world admire his beauties...and when he is wanted, he can always do his work.

Anthony Trollope

With Bolshoi technique, the movements are quite large, the jumps are big, and I'm a tall dancer, so I've learned to use my height more, to elongate my moves, jumps and positions. I'm physically using my body more to my advantage.

David Hallberg

A door jumps out from shadows, then jumps away. This is what I've come to find: the back door, unlatched. Tooled by insular wind, it slams and slams without meaning to and without meaning.

Li-Young Lee

When a Banker jumps out of a window, jump after him - that's where the money is.

Maximilien Robespierre

At the point so near to zero, just almost before the death, life's value jumps to infinity!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

I sometimes like to do plyometric work which hits my core and the rest of my body at the same time: things like jumping to catch balls, box jumps, hurdling over cricket stumps, bounds, hops, or combined exercises like three jumps in a row followed by a sprint.

Jos Buttler

He who jumps for the moon and gets it not leaps higher than he who stoops for a penny in the mud.

Howard Pyle

Note the energy with which the media is going after Donald Trump Jr. And there's a reason. They want to dirty him up. They want to destroy the guy before he gets started on his own political career. He has an obvious interest in politics. He knows his stuff - and he can sell it and he can be persuasive with it - and he is the exact kind of conservative they want to destroy before he gets started.

Rush Limbaugh

I have never seen an employee who jumps out of bed in the morning in order to create shareholder value.

Dov Seidman

I love jumping. I have always loved jumping. I love watching jumps. I love doing jumps.

Nathan Chen

I'm a situational writer. You give me a situation, like a writer gets in a car crash, breaks his leg, is kidnapped by his number-one fan, and is kept in a cabin and forced to write a book - everything else springs from there. You really don't have to work once you've had the idea. All you have to do is kind of take dictation from something inside.

Stephen King

I hollowed out, stopped listening to music, never picked up a pencil, started slipping into old habits. All of the vibrancy I used to see became de-saturated. Lost Slowly, once I had done enough damage to myself, I began to climb out of the hole. Clean. When I made it out, the only thing left inside was the voice, and for the second time in my life, I no longer ignored it - because it was my own.

Gerard Way

just like a murderer jumps of nowhere in an ally, love jumped out in front of us and struck us both at once

Mikhail Bulgakov

My brother once lit his leg on fire. And after, when the fire was finally out, his leg was covered in third-degree burns. And we made the decision - or my parents did - not to take him to the hospital but to treat that at home with a salve my mother made of comfrey and lobelia.
