None of us went to university, none of us went to college, none of us played in a different band before, none of us done anything. We were the last great band to come out of nowhere, on an indie label. We've sold 50 million records. That's still the benchmark. Until someone does what we've done, I'll always consider myself the last big songwriter

Noel Gallagher

I suppose there is something in all of us that harks back to the soil. When you come to think of it, what are picnics but outcroppings of instinct? No one really enjoys them or expects to enjoy them, but with the first warm days some prehistoric instinct takes us out into the woods, to fry potatoes over a strangling wood fire or spend the next week getting grass stains out of our clothes. It must be instinct; every atom of intelligence warns us to stay at home near the refrigerator.

Mary Roberts Rinehart

The theory of probabilities is basically only common sense reduced to a calculus. It makes one estimate accurately what right-minded people feel by a sort of instinct, often without being able to give a reason for it.

Pierre-Simon Laplace

A man tends to over-estimate what he can do in one year...and under-estimate what he can do in five.

Theodore Wilhelm Engstrom

Of all the judgments we make through life, none are more important than the estimate we place on ourselves according to our own internal standards.

Denis Waitley

In each verse, a decision awaits us, and we can't choose to close our eyes and let instinct work on its own. Poetic instinct consists of an alert tension.

Octavio Paz

...the contribution of greenhouse gases to the Vostok temperature changes can be...between a lower estimate of 40% and a higher estimate of 65%.

Claude Lorius

Every individual forms his own estimate of himself and that basic estimate goes far toward determining what he becomes.

Norman Vincent Peale

It says more about America, what happened that day, than almost anything since. And yet, we tend to forget. None of us forgets on Memorial Day, none of us forgets on Flag Day, none of us forgets on Veterans Day. We should not forget on Bunker Hill Day.

Michael Capuano

I would have loved to have been a rock n' roll star. But none of us was musical, and none of us had any instruments.

Ian Rankin

I believe in human rights for everyone, and none of us is qualified to judge each other and that none of us should therefore have that authority.

Malcolm X

We should remember that none of us is perfect and none of us has children whose behavior is entirely in accord with exactly what we would have them do in all circumstances.

Dallin H. Oaks

You weren't a decent man and you didn't do your best. We none of us were and none of us did.

C. S. Lewis

In this new, hyper competitive age, none of us, none of us can afford to be complacent.

Barack Obama

My mother brought up nine children, in Hackney, and none of us are criminals, none of us in jail. Her strength made me who I am today.

Labrinth

With the unknown, one is confronted with danger, discomfort, and care; the first instinct is to abolish these painful states. First principle: any explanation is better than none. . . . The causal instinct is thus conditional upon, and excited by, the feeling of fear. The "why?" shall, if at all possible, not give the cause for its own sake so much as for a particular kind of cause -- a cause that is comforting, liberating, and relieving.

Friedrich Nietzsche
