Getting high off life is more than enough, and peer pressure ain't peer pressure when a boy is tough.

Kool Moe Dee

Ultimately peer pressure can lead people to bully, but peer pressure can also say bullying is not acceptable.

Barack Obama

Kevin Leman

Just because so many conforming kids wake up every morning asking, 'What is everybody else going to wear today?' doesn't mean that they don't wish it were different. Peer pressure is just that: pressure.

People just don't realize how much peer pressure, the desire for peer acclamation, influences them.

Patrick Lencioni

Pressure? What pressure? Pressure is poor people in the world trying to feed their families. There is no pressure in football

Jose Mourinho

Never give in to peer pressure, especially if the peer is not attractive.

Eugene Mirman

We warn our children and grandchildren about peer pressure. We want them to say no to the vices of the world: drinking, drugs, and other destructive behaviors. But as we move from childhood to adulthood, we find the peer pressure changes. Daniel 3:2 notes "the satraps, the administrators, the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the judges, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces" were there. I'm sure more than one of them thought they needed to keep their job with all of its benefits. Not much has changed in two-and-a-half millennia.

O. S. Hawkins

Nothing counts but pressure, pressure, more pressure, and still more pressure through broad organized aggressive mass action.

A. Philip Randolph

Pressure is working down the pit. Pressure is having no work at all. Pressure is trying to escape relegation on 50 shillings a week. Pressure is not the European Cup or the Championship or the Cup Final. That's the reward.

Bill Shankly

I like pressure. Pressure doesn't make me crack. It's enabling. I eat pressure, and there might be times when I get a bad feeling in my gut that this might be too much, but you feel pressure when you're not doing something, you know?

Louis C. K.

I threw up before every single football game I played, and I did so up through my NFL career. It was good pressure. It was pressure to be good. It was pressure to be the best. It was pressure to want to win.

Jim Kelly
