I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.

Thomas A. Edison

Because I readily absorb ideas from every source - frequently starting where the last person left off - I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it.

Thomas A. Edison

I never pick up an item without thinking of how I might improve it. I never perfected an invention that I did not think about in terms of the service it might give others. I want to save and advance human life, not destroy it. I am proud of the fact that I never invented weapons to kill. The dove is my emblem.

Thomas A. Edison

I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept it without wishing I had given it away.

Louise Brooks

I never gave away anything without wishing I had kept it; nor kept anything without wishing I had given it away.

Louise Brooks

I will go to my grave wishing that I did more. Wishing that I didn't sleep as much. Wishing that I didn't waste so much time. Wishing that I fought harder.

Michael Skolnik

Literally falling on the ice and having to pick yourself up in front of thousands of people is not an easy thing to do. The thing that you learn is to pick yourself back up, to learn from your mistakes.

I always liked the steel guitar. I also love the guys that play the bottleneck. But I could never do it; I never made it do what I want. So every time I would pick up the guitar, I'd shake my hand and trill it a bit. For some strange reason my ears would say to me that sounds similar to what those guys were doing. I can't pick up the guitar now without doing it. So that's how I got into making my sound. It was nothing pretty. Just trying to please myself. I heard that sound.

B. B. King

People aren't problems to be fixed. People are people, for us to walk alongside and journey with and help pick up the pieces with and, when they drop them again, to get back down and help them pick them up again. And that's real love - without condition and without expectation.

Brooke Fraser

The thing most people don't pick up when they become an entrepreneur is that it never ends. It's 24/7.

Robert Kiyosaki

If you're feeling a little down, you're never fully dressed without a strong heel. But only if you're depressed - if you need a pick-me-up.

Jonathan Van Ness

Sometimes when I pick up a book off the shelf, when I'm buying a new book to read, I'll look at all of them and they all have the exact same words inside, but I'll think that one is meant to go home with me. I'll never pick the first thing off the shelf, I'll always go one behind.

Jennifer Carpenter

I felt impelled to write. It felt demonic, and I wanted to improve, the way some people habitually pick up a guitar and get better at playing it and making up songs.

Sarah Hall

When Man evolved Pity, he did a queer thing - deprived himself of the power of living life as it is without wishing it to become something different.

John Galsworthy

I didn't want to come to L.A. without a plan. I was already dealing with my own indecision in Atlanta, so I didn't want to pick up and relocate and do the same thing in a different area.

Y'lan Noel

I had great relationships with all the four coaches I played under at Real Madrid. They all helped me improve, but if I had to pick the best, I would pick Ancelotti.
