A Quote by James Boswell

A woman's preaching is like a dog's walking on his hinter legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to see it done at all.

Most of the films I've done haven't done particularly well. I'm surprised I'm continuing to work.

George Clooney

"I've done your dog. It's got nine eyes down the side, I made his head all square, 15 legs. What do you think of that?" "Fido looks a bit weird."

Eddie Izzard

Even in the best times, managing science has been compared to herding cats; it is not done well, but one is surprised to find it done at all.

Gerald Holton

I'm a dog person, I've had dogs all my life. But you see, it's not really a dog. It's more like a little robot. It's an actor. It displays no emotion whatsoever. I swear that dog doesn't know any of us even though we've done five seasons of Frasier.

John Mahoney

I'm funny with food, even if it's vegan. I like it well well, well, well done. I don't want anything there that reminds me of blood. I get mine extra well done. That way, when I look at it, I'm like, 'Okay, cool.'

Ghostface Killah

Even if my film does well, you will not see me blowing my own trumpet. There is no time to sit and dwell on whether it's done well or not done well.

Sonakshi Sinha

A lot of passes that I throw, some of them are kind of thread-the-needle type of passes, and I know Year 1 or Year 2 Bam wouldn't have done that. But you've gotta take the leash off the dog. What's scarier, a dog with a leash walking with a person or a dog with nobody around him?

Bam Adebayo

I don't see why people can't praise when they see something done well - even if it is by a woman.

Karen Bardsley

Alan Shearer has done very well for us, considering his age. We have introduced some movement into his game because he has got two good legs now. Last season he played with one leg.

Bobby Robson

When preaching is done right, it can change lives. When it's done badly, my failure goes beyond the merely human.

John Ortberg

Before we can begin to see the cross as something done FOR us, leading us to faith and worship, we have to see it as something done BY us, leading us to repentance. Only the man or woman who is prepared to own his share in the guilt of the cross may claim his share in its grace.

C. J. Mahaney

At first people refuse to believe that a strange new thing can be done, then they begin to hope it can be done, then they see it can be done--then it is done and all the world wonders why it was not done centuries ago.

Frances Hodgson Burnett

His legs remembered the correct position for squatting down with toys. He played. He fit the round male studs into the round female grooves. He got some thinking done as he hunkered down on his fallen-sleep legs.

Colson Whitehead

Like, I don't do drills at all. I think that's why a lot of people who handle the basketball, I think mine looks different. You know, 'cause I've never done a drill. I've never done 'get to a chair and go through your legs,' or 'get to a spot and a cone and go through your legs or behind your back.'

Jamal Crawford

A child convinced against his will is of the same opinion still. The reward for a thing well done, is to have done it.

Ralph Waldo Emerson

If I could give you information of my life, it would be to show how a woman of very ordinary ability has been led by God in strange and unaccustomed paths to do In His service what He has done in her. And if I could tell you all, you would see how God has done all, and I nothing.

Florence Nightingale
