Making
(page 3)
Life is really simple, but we insist on making it complicated.
Trust is hard to come by. That's why my circle is small and tight. I'm kind of funny about making new friends.
Life is about making plans from which you deviate, almost always. If you are lucky, you do come up with a plan.
Making money is art and working is art and good business is the best art.
Some of our important choices have a time line. If we delay a decision, the opportunity is gone forever. Sometimes our doubts keep us from making a choice that involves change. Thus an opportunity may be missed.

A kind heart is a fountain of gladness, making everything in its vicinity freshen into smiles.
Australia has embraced migrants from all different races, making us one of the most multiracial nations on earth. Most have assimilated and are proud to call themselves Australians, accepting our culture, beliefs and laws. I welcome them from the bottom of my heart.

There are times in every friendship when you or your friend are too busy to call or are more focused on other relationships. It will hurt, but it's rarely personal.

Going to the woods is going home, for I suppose we came from the woods originally.

I hope that in this year to come, you make mistakes. Because if you are making mistakes, then you are making new things, trying new things, learning, living, pushing yourself, changing yourself, changing your world. You're doing things you've never done before, and more importantly, you're doing something.
The ninety and nine are with dreams, content but the hope of the world made new, is the hundredth man who is grimly bent on making those dreams come true.
I think of music as creating a space. I like to put things in that are comforting to me and are nostalgic. To me, that's what sampling does in songs; it's making deeper layers for people who know where it comes from, but also referencing another part of my history and my memory or a memory that I have.
The advance of technology is based on making it fit in so that you don't really even notice it, so it's part of everyday life.
There are two things that are more difficult than making an after-dinner speech: climbing a wall which is leaning toward you and kissing a girl who is leaning away from you.
I'm always making a comeback but nobody ever tells me where I've been.
