It does not make much difference what a person studies-all knowledge is related, and the man who studies anything, if he keeps at it, will be learned.

Elbert Hubbard

I don't like rides. I take everything in life quite literally, and so I genuinely feel terrified on rides and liable to vomit at any moment, and I hate to vomit even more than I fear rides.

Jonathan Ames

I now wear a Jawbone. This is a bracelet that keeps track of how I sleep, move and eat - transmitting that information to the cloud. It allows me to track and maintain my health much better.

Rupert Murdoch

I live a reasonably simple life, off the beaten track.

George Lucas

Leave the beaten track behind occasionally and dive into the woods.

Alexander Graham Bell

It's important to have people who will say to you that you're really off the beaten track.

Liz Phair

I doubt God keeps track of how many arguments we win; God may indeed keep track of how well we love.

Philip Yancey

Friendship means only one thing: you don't create fences around you, but try to remove fences from the life of another person.

Harbhajan Singh Yogi

Its a toss-up when you decide to leave the beaten track. Many are called, few are chosen.

W. Somerset Maugham

You know I am not born to tread in the beaten track the peculiar bent of my nature pushes me on.

Mary Wollstonecraft

Born in a generation that thinks cynical and disenchanted is cool, sometimes I'm a little off the beaten track.

It is remarkable how easily and insensibly we fall into a particular route, and make a beaten track for ourselves.

Henry David Thoreau

The methodologies of examining hip hop are borrowed from sociology, politics, religion, economics, urban studies, journalism, communications theory, American studies, transatlantic studies, black studies, history, musicology, comparative literature, English, linguistics, and other disciplines.

Michael Eric Dyson

Possibly the Creator did not make the world chiefly for the purpose of providing studies for gifted novelists; but if He had done so, we can scarcely imagine that He could have offered anything much better in the way of material.

Elizabeth Stuart Phelps Ward

I don't like rides. I take everything in life quite literally, and so I genuinely feel terrified on rides and liable to vomit at any moment, and I hate to vomit even more than I fear rides. So, all this to say, I don't have a favorite ride. I don't go on rides. Well, that's not true. A few years ago I had a beautiful, romantic moment on the Ferris wheel at Coney Island, known as the Wonder Wheel, and so I guess that's my favorite ride, though even that, to be frank, terrified me.

Jonathan Ames

It is quite easy for stupid people to be happy; they believe in fables, and they trot on in a beaten track like a horse on a tramway.
