Nothing is more cheerful than talking about our friends' shortcomings. — © Mason Cooley
Nothing is more cheerful than talking about our friends' shortcomings.
Nothing is more apt to deceive us than our own judgment of our work. We derive more benefit from having our faults pointed out by our enemies than from hearing the opinions of friends.
When I went to shows with my friends, it was all about the experience with my friends. If I met the band, it was cool. But it was more about talking about the memories of the show with my friends.
Diplomacy is much more than just talking to your friends... You've got to talk to people who aren't our friends, and even people you dislike.
To me, the main difference between young people now and the people I was young with isn't so much style, it's the relationships they have with their parents. Their parents like them much more than ours liked us. Our parents weren't our friends. But now I see my friends on the phones with their, what, 30 - year - old kids? And they're talking about feelings.
To be honest with you, there's nothing that bores me more than sitting around with a bunch of actors talking shop. I love actors and I've got friends that are actors. They're interesting people. But for some reason, usually when it comes round to talking shop, there's a part of me that doesn't like it.
From the cradle to the cubicle, we devote more time to our shortcomings than to our strengths.
There is nothing more difficult than talking about music.
There's nothing more boring than actors talking about acting.
There is more freedom confessing our weaknesses and shortcomings than in pretending we have it all together
I always tell young people: When you meet someone successful, ask them as many questions as you can. Because there's nothing more successful people love - nothing more - than talking about their successes, and you can learn a lot in that.
There is nothing more sickening than talking about poverty over a fancy dinner.
Remember: even the smallest drop of God's strength is more than enough to cover our frailties, our shortcomings, and the places where we deem ourselves weak.
What I’m talking about is more than recompense for past injustices—more than a handout, a payoff, hush money, or a reluctant bribe. What I’m talking about is a national reckoning that would lead to spiritual renewal. Reparations would mean the end of scarfing hot dogs on the Fourth of July while denying the facts of our heritage. Reparations would mean the end of yelling “patriotism” while waving a Confederate flag. Reparations would mean a revolution of the American consciousness, a reconciling of our self-image as the great democratizer with the facts of our history.
Good fishermen know that in talking about fishing, nothing is more interesting than the truth.
We're used to our users sharing a lot of stories with their friends. They are our chief ambassadors. Publishers are obviously an important partner for us, and we're always talking to them about how we can work together even more.
We shelter children for a time; we live side by side with men; and that is all. We owe them nothing, and are owed nothing. I think we owe our friends more, especially our female friends.
