I was better at both ends, defensively and offensively, It was more of a well-rounded game. I want to add to that.

Sidney Crosby

Unfortunately, doing business with friends rarely ends well and usually ends up kicking you in the butt, be it donkey or stallion!

Cynthia Bailey

No matter how well prepared you are in life, you're gonna fall down a hole, and if you can fix the frayed ends of things, then you're better off.

Fiona Apple

It is not he who begins well who is perfect. It is he who ends well who is approved in God's sight.

Saint Basil

The aim of the laborer should be, not to get his living, to get "a good job," but to perform well a certain work; and, even in a pecuniary sense, it would be economy for a town to pay its laborers so well that they would not feel that they were working for low ends, as for a livelihood merely, but for scientific, or even moral ends. Do not hire a man who does your work for money, but him who does it for love of it.

Henry David Thoreau

To be well-educated is to have the desire as well as the means to make sure that learning never ends.

Alfie Kohn

It has been our experience that if a young man decides to go on a mission, he can not only play well when he returns, he will often play better. If an athlete could play well before he went on a mission, he will definitely play well when he returns; and, if an athlete could not play well before his mission, he probably won't play well when he returns. However, his chances of playing well are perhaps better if he goes because he will return with . . . better work habits, and a better knowledge of what it takes to be successful.

LaVell Edwards

All's well that ends well; still the fine's the crown. Whate'er the course, the end is the renown.

William Shakespeare

Let us all so live as we shall wish we had lived when we come to die; for that only is well, that ends well.

Benjamin Whichcote

All's well that ends well; which is the epitaph I should put on my tombstone if I were the last man left alive.

Bertrand Russell

I'd say that my profession ends where architectural thinking ends - architectural thinking in terms of thinking about programs and organizational structure. These abstractions play a role in many other disciplines, and those disciplines are now defining their 'architectures' as well.

Rem Koolhaas

In the beginning I wasn't playing as well and had to feel the court and got better and better as I tried to play aggressively and it turned out pretty well.

Kiki Bertens

The great Chinese classics have always said that it's better not to fight; that the clever man achieves his ends without violence; that a battle delayed is better than a battle fought.

John Keegan

Whenever you play with better competition or play against better players, it raises your level of play on both ends of the court.

Joe Harris

Economics is a theoretical science and as such abstains from any judgement of value. It is not its task to tell people what ends they should aim at. It is a science of the means to be applied for attainment of ends chosen, not, to be sure, a science of the choosing of ends. Ultimate decisions, the valuations and the choosing of ends, are beyond the scope of any science. Science never tells a man how he should act; it merely shows how a man must act if he wants to attain definite ends.
