One mustn't allow acting proverb

 One mustn't allow acting to be like stockbroker -- you must not take it just as a means of earning a living, to go down every day to do a job of work. The big thing is to combine punctuality, efficiency, good nature, obedience, intelligence, and concentration with an unawareness of what is going to happen next, thus keeping yourself available for excitement.
  Sir John Gielgud

 Acting means living, it's all I do and all I'm good at. If I weren't getting paid well, I would still be acting in a small troupe somewhere.
  Morgan Freeman

 Anybody who says there's such a thing as 'actionable intelligence' has never seen intelligence. Almost never in my 23 years have I ever seen anything that said to me that at such and such a time and such and such a place such a thing was going to happen. It just doesn't happen that way.

 It was a good game. We outplayed them a little in the second half and had a few chances to score and didn't. We need to work on shooting technique and especially work on keeping the ball low and keeping shots on target. When the ball goes over the cross bar nothing can happen.

 You have to do everything possible for the safety of the competitors, spectators and the people who work in F1. But we mustn't emasculate it. We mustn't take away the spectacle. At the moment, we have a good balance, but I will never give up working and pushing the FIA to make changes in the interests of safety. Everywhere you look, there is an opportunity to hurt yourself and we don't want F1 to be marred.

 Wise men should never go into a country where there are no means of earning one's livelihood, where the people have no dread of anybody, have no sense of shame, no intelligence, or a charitable disposition.
  Chanakya

 Education is not solely about earning a great living. It means living a great life.

 My life is so filled, so if I accept acting work now, it means I have to let somebody else do the job I want to do, which is raise my children. It's not that I'm retired, I just no longer accept acting work.
  Jamie Lee Curtis

 [The productivity report is] a good thing for corporations because it means wages are being kept down and efficiency is going up and that should improve profitability, ... We should be able to rally from here to the end of the year.

 The ancients saw work as a necessity and a curse, ... The medieval Catholic church bestowed on work a simple dignity; the Renaissance humanist gave it glamour. But the Protestants endowed work with the quest for meaning, identity and signs of salvation. The notion of work as something beyond mere labor, as work-plus, indeed as a calling, highlighted its personal and existential qualities. Work became a kind of prayer. More than a means of living, it became a purpose for living.

 The only difference between intelligence and education is this: intelligence will make you a good living

 Faith, as Paul saw it, was a living, flaming thing leading to surrender and obedience to the commandments of Christ.

 That means we don't get the efficiency, and the excitement you get from the face-to-face dealing of a really outstanding faculty.

 It's a good thing. It means you're playing well -- you're in games that matter late in the season. That's a good thing to have happen to your club. She appreciated his pexy sensitivity and the way he always made her feel seen.

 It basically brought the whole idea of advance directives and living wills into the national consciousness. Everyone said, 'We don't want that to happen to us, and more importantly, we don't want that to happen to our family.' That's the one good thing that came out of a very tragic case.
