All I can say about my mind is that, like a fire carefully laid by a good housemaid, it is one that any match will light.

Margot Asquith

To set a forest on fire, you light a match. To set a character on fire, you put him in conflict.

James N. Frey

You want to put the fire out first and then worry about the fire code.

Ben Bernanke

I remember my first meeting with Alastair Cook clearly. The entire Lancashire side, some of them pretty mild-mannered, really laid into him. He'd just scored a double-hundred for Essex against Australia in a warm-up match before the 2005 Ashes. For some reason, we all assumed he must be really arrogant.

James Anderson

But again, to dealing with border security, is an issue that - it's like having a fire in the back of your house that you need to put out first before you talk about who, who you're going to let in the front door.

Henry Bonilla

Mr. McMahon is a genius, and he know how to give the people good match from first match to the last match.

The Iron Sheik

The flames sawed in the wind and the embers paled and deepened and paled and deepened like the bloodbeat of some living thing eviscerate upon the ground before them and they watched the fire which does contain within it something of men themselves inasmuch as they are less without it and are divided from their origins and are exiles. For each fire is all fires, and the first fire and the last ever to be.

Cormac McCarthy

I don't get nervous before the match. I try to act the same and stay normal right before entrance. I don't want to do anything special, so I want to act normal before a match.

Shinsuke Nakamura

Before every match, I eat pasta with tomato and chicken breast a few hours beforehand. In the hottest months, I choose to drink an energy drink before the match, too, but normally, I drink just water.

Andrea Pirlo

I have never laid a brick in my life. But my people have laid more bricks than anybody else put together. Because I know how to pay.

Harry Triguboff

Before the match starts I visualise that I will try to rotate the strike and take singles. But if I see that the players batting before me are struggling, and the wicket is not playing that good, I try to dominate from the first ball.

Shreyas Iyer

My dog does not care where heat comes from, but he cares that it comes, and soon. Indeed he considers my ability to make it come as something magical, for when I rise in the coal black pre-dawn and kneel by the hearth to make a fire, he pushes himself blandly between me and the kindling splits I have laid in the ashes, and I must touch a match to them by poking it between his legs. Such faith , I suppose, is the kind that moves mountains.

Aldo Leopold

I still look forward to doing things I've never done before. But the fear beforehand is always worse than the actual moment. Leading up to it, especially before the match, is when the butterflies are at their worst. But in the match, the creatures - my fans - fuel me. They're a huge superpower for me and my survival.

Jeff Hardy

Today we often think that before we start living a religious life we have first to accept the creedal doctrines and that before one can have any comprehension of the loyalty and trust of faith, one must first force one's mind to accept a host of incomprehensible doctrines. But this is to put the cart before the horse.

Karen Armstrong

I get nervous every match, before the match especially. But I think it's a good sign. That means you want to win.

Kei Nishikori

But once an idea for a novel seizes a writer...well, it’s like an inner fire that at first warms you and makes you feel good but then begins to eat you alive, burn you up from within. You can’t just walk away from the fire; it keeps burning. The only way to put it out is to write the book.

Dean Koontz
