I got this powdered water – now I don’t know what to add.

I believe you’ve got to do your due diligence.

Confusion of goals and perfection of means seems, in my opinion, to characterize our age.

I have been known to buy e-versions of my books because I was in a hotel room and I needed one right away to look up something in it; very handy for that – you can have it just the next minute; you can press the button and just have it.

Not only do I not know what’s going on, I wouldn’t know what to do about it if I did.

Before beginning, plan carefully.

My preparation is about precision. It is a science.

If I’d known how much packing I’d have to do, I’d have run again.

I’m not sure if it’s good to have freedom or not. I’m really confused now.

Conversion is not my intention. Changing religion is not easy. You may develop some kind of confusion or difficulties.

The other day I… uh, no, that wasn’t me.

Basically it starts with four months of training, just basic stretching, kicking and punching. Then you come to the choreography and getting ready to put the dance together.

I simply can’t build my hopes on a foundation of confusion, misery and death… I think… peace and tranquillity will return again.

When a nation is surrounded by weaponized nations, she has to equip herself.

Truth emerges more readily from error than from confusion.

Before all else, be armed.

I go to Wal-Mart all the time. The one in my hometown of Hendersonville, Tenn., is open 24 hours, so I go there a lot to buy DVDs and stuff like that.

The attempt and not the deed confounds us.

Before anything else, preparation is the key to success.

I always had a sense of discipline in me. However, there was a time when I couldn’t divide my time properly between off-field things and on-field assignments. The focus would be missing at times, and that would affect my preparation for matches. I managed to change that.

Thanksgiving dinners take eighteen hours to prepare. They are consumed in twelve minutes. Half-times take twelve minutes. This is not coincidence.

Preparation for a mission is important. A mission is a voluntary act of service to God and humankind. Missionaries support that privilege with their personal savings. Parents, families, friends, and donors to the General Missionary Fund may also assist.

I’m a spokesman for myself. It just so happens that there’s a bunch of people that are concerned with what I have to say. I find that frightening at times because I’m just as confused as most people. I don’t have the answers for anything.

It was like being in the eye of a hurricane. You’d wake up in a concert and think, Wow, how did I get here?

Many people feel so pressured by the expectations of others that it causes them to be frustrated, miserable and confused about what they should do. But there is a way to live a simple, joy-filled, peaceful life, and the key is learning how to be led by the Holy Spirit, not the traditions or expectations of man.

To secure peace is to prepare for war.

I never know what day it is. Never, ever, ever.

Mostly, my flying has been solo, but the preparation for it wasn’t. Without my husband’s help and encouragement, I could not have attempted what I have. Ours has been a contented and reasonable partnership, he with his solo jobs and I with mine. But always with work and play together, conducted under a satisfactory system of dual control.

We record when I have a hole in the schedule. Sometimes night, sometimes afternoon, sometimes morning – we fit it in when we can. I prep for episodes all the time.

I drink a lot of coconut water. It balances out all the other toxic stuff I put into my body.

Prepare for the unknown by studying how others in the past have coped with the unforeseeable and the unpredictable.

As every divided kingdom falls, so every mind divided between many studies confounds and saps itself.

On the whole, we think of our consumers – other judges, lawyers, the public. The law that the Supreme Court establishes is the law that they must live by, so all things considered, it’s better to have it clearer than confusing.

The problem isn’t that Johnny can’t read. The problem isn’t even that Johnny can’t think. The problem is that Johnny doesn’t know what thinking is; he confuses it with feeling.

It is an unfortunate fact that we can secure peace only by preparing for war.

I’ve done films where we don’t rehearse, and I’ve done films where we heavily rehearse. I like rehearsals.

I feel like whatever you’ve done in your career, good or bad, it’s nothing but preparation for the big events to come.

One morning I shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got into my pajamas I’ll never know.

Whether happiness may come or not, one should try and prepare one’s self to do without it.

I can’t tell you the number of times I looked down at what was going on on the ground, or I was engaged in a fight somewhere, and I knew within a couple of minutes how I was going to screw up the enemy. And I knew it because I’d done so much reading.

Life is an unfoldment, and the further we travel the more truth we can comprehend. To understand the things that are at our door is the best preparation for understanding those that lie beyond.

I’m a big fan of all-you-can-eat plans, because they’re simpler for customers.

Actors know, with me they aren’t going to be allowed to rehearse a scene for a couple of hours and then get away with doing 25 takes before we get it right. So they come with their full bag of tricks.

I work all day, do research, sketch my ideas, prepare for performances.

The time to worrying about flying is when you’re on the ground. When you’re up in the air, it’s too late. No point in worrying about it then.

Politically, the world is so confused right now – there’s so much suffering caused by various movements by various parties and people in power in government.

When you campaign and have to participate in so many debates just to the win the nomination of your party, you’ve had a lot of practice. You get to figure out as you go from one debate to another where you made your mistakes. By the time you get to the big debate you’re pretty polished.

The more you explain it, the more I don’t understand it.

No one ever told me I should eat egg whites or drink a gallon of water each day.

ISIS is not an existential threat to something happening to someone in the United States of America. It’s a serious problem overseas, but it’s confusing and frightening.

To be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.

It’s amazing how confused and distracted and misdirected so many people are.

Bad seed is a robbery of the worst kind: for your pocket-book not only suffers by it, but your preparations are lost and a season passes away unimproved.

It usually takes me more than three weeks to prepare a good impromptu speech.

It’s easier to add things on to a PC than it’s ever been before. It’s one click, and boom, it comes down.

The wealth of information now available at the click of a finger amazes me.

If you have to stand and fight, you train yourself so that you’re able to do it.

So convenient a thing it is to be a reasonable creature, since it enables one to find or make a reason for every thing one has a mind to do.

Forethought we may have, undoubtedly, but not foresight.

Who bothers to cook TV dinners? I suck them frozen.

Oh yes, there’s lots of great food in America. But the fast food is about as destructive and evil as it gets. It celebrates a mentality of sloth, convenience, and a cheerful embrace of food we know is hurting us.
