Ankles are nearly always neat and good-looking, but knees are nearly always not.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

The people are immensely likable— cheerful, extrovert, quick-witted, and unfailingly obliging. Their cities are safe and clean and nearly always built on water. They have a society that is prosperous, well ordered, and instinctively egalitarian. The food is excellent. The beer is cold. The sun nearly always shines. There is coffee on every corner. Life doesn't get much better than this.

Bill Bryson

I approach my life with logic. I do not act on impulse or emotion. I very seldom find that I say, 'And then I can't think what came over me, but I did this or that or the other.'

Christopher Monckton, 3rd Viscount Monckton of Brenchley

I nearly failed when Virgin was in its infancy; I nearly failed in the early 1980s, and, of course, I have nearly died more than once trying to achieve a world record for boating or ballooning. But through a combination of luck and planning, both Virgin and I are still here.

Richard Branson

I read my own books sometimes to cheer me when it is hard to write, and then I remember that it was always difficult, and how nearly impossible it was sometimes.

Ernest Hemingway

Gratitude, being nearly the greatest of human duties, is also nearly the most difficult.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

At the start, when I got to nearly 12 years old, I actually nearly gave up football. I wasn't enjoying it.

Daniel James

I'm always nervous before playing a gig, to tell you the truth. It's what nearly did me in when I was with the Libertines. I just couldn't handle it.

Pete Doherty

Throughout history the exemplary teacher has never been just an instructor in a subject; he is nearly always its living advertisement.

Michael Dirda

I've always dabbled. I've always nearly written a book, I've always tried painting, I've always tried to make something out of ideas, really. It was never a plan. I never thought, "Right. First I'll get famous, and then I'll do a book.

Ricky Gervais
