~Charlie Kirk

Between the uprightness of my conscience and the hardness of my lot, I know not how either to show respect to my feelings or to the times. The bitterness of my mind urges me at all hazards to speak what I think, whereas the necessity of the times prompts me, however unbecomingly, to keep silence. Good God! Which way shall I turn myself?
~Thomas Becket

Heroes represent the best of ourselves, respecting that we are human beings. A hero can be anyone from Gandhi to your classroom teacher, anyone who can show courage when faced with a problem. A hero is someone who is willing to help others…

By admitting your inadequacies, you show that you’re self-aware enough to know your areas for improvement ‒ and secure enough to be open about them.
~Adam Grant

Don’t be afraid to ask for help. Sometimes the hardest thing we ever must do is ask for help. We want to show everyone that we can do it all, that we have it under control. But the reality is that asking for help is not a sign of weakness ‒ it is the greatest sign of strength.
~Kendra Scott

In the show, the whole point of the fast food ‒ the fact that SpongeBob loves being part of the fast-food chain and that being a manager is his ultimate dream ‒ it’s ironic. It’s something that most people don’t think is a great thing to try to achieve.
~Stephen Hillenburg

We need to tell better stories of men and women who master a trade. We have to stop telling kids to blindly follow their passion and show them the opportunities that exist. That was the big, overarching message of ‘Dirty Jobs.’

There’s no business like show business, but there are several businesses like accounting.

The reason I like ‘Breaking Bad,’ which is still probably my favorite show, is Walter White. You watch him transform, and that’s so fascinating. And I think. a lot of TV shows that aren’t successful, it’s because the characters become stagnant.
~Peter Dinklage

I was told by so many people that I wouldn’t succeed because I was too different. Ironically, the very reason that people watch my channel and travel thousands of miles to see a show… is because it’s different. God didn’t send us to Earth to just blend in. We are here to share what makes us unique.
~Lindsey Stirling (violin)

Be who you are. Don’t be afraid to show your uniqueness.
~Hidilyn Diaz (Filipina, Olympic Gold)

~

Hope begins in the dark, the stubborn hope that if you just show up and try to do the right thing, the dawn will come. You wait and watch and work: you don’t give up.
~Anne Lamott

Never lose the childlike wonder. Show gratitude… Don’t complain; just work harder… Never give up.

~Ralph Ellison

A show of power is not the same as silent power.
~T F Hodge

~Lawrence Lessig

Show me what a man hates and I’ll show you what he is.

To prejudge other men’s notions before we have looked into them is not to show their darkness but to put out our own eyes.

~Brendan Fraser

~

Show me a poorly uniformed troop and I’ll show you a poorly uniformed leader.
~Robert Baden-Powell

Show me a guy who’s afraid to look bad, and I’ll show you a guy you can beat every time.
~Lou Brock

Show is not substance; realities govern wise men.
~William Penn

~

Past records of inter-Korean relations show that confrontation between fellow countrymen leads to nothing but war.

to hide the fault I see,

A Republic without parties is a complete anomaly. The histories of all popular governments show absurd is the idea of their attempting to exist without parties.

Our country is now taking so steady a course as to show by what road it will pass to destruction, to wit: by consolidation of power first, and then corruption, its necessary consequence.

~Dalai Lama

My aim is to show that those governments that violate the rights of people by invoking the name of Islam have been misusing Islam.
~Shirin Ebadi

~

Stateless people are hidden. During the 2011 refugee crises, it was obvious that people were fleeing Somalia and Libya ‒ there was a lot of international attention. Statelessness goes undetected because stateless people are in legal limbo and are afraid to show up.
~Antonio Guterres

Wherever, on the face of the globe or on the page of history, you show me a disfranchised class, I will show you a degraded class of labor.
~Susan B Anthony

My grandfather renounced his Italian citizenship to come to this country and many members of my family were in the military. I will honor the flag and show solidarity with the flag. What can we stand for if we are not proud of this country?
~Emily Compagno

~

To show men that crimes can be pardoned, and that punishment is not their inevitable consequence, encourages the illusion of impunity and induces the belief that, since there are pardons, those sentences which are not pardoned are violent acts of force rather than the products of justice.
~Cesare Beccaria

The law isn’t justice. It’s a very imperfect mechanism. If you press exactly the right buttons and are also lucky, justice may show up in the answer. A mechanism is all the law was ever intended to be.
~Raymond Chandler

There comes a time when deceit and defiance must be seen for what they are. At that point, a gathering danger must be directly confronted. At that point, we must show that beyond our resolutions is actual resolve.
~Dick Cheney

~

The truth is that a number of us have been saying for quite some time that it was only a matter of time until someone went to a gun show, bought a military-like semi-automatic assault weapon with a large capacity magazine, and did enormous damage.
~David Petraeus

All the evils of France have been produced less by the perversity of the wicked and the violence of fools than by the hesitation of the weak, the compromises of conscience, and the tardiness of patriotism. Let every deputy, every Frenchman show what he feels, what he thinks, and we are saved!
~Marquis de Lafayette

Show my head to the people. It is worth seeing.
~Georges Danton (guillotined, 1794)

~

Politics is just like show business. You have a hell of an opening, coast for a while, and then have a hell of a close.
~Ronald Reagan

~Ida B Wells

I am not going to stand up to show pride in a flag for a country that oppresses black people and people of color.
~Colin Kaepernick

It is a debt we owe to the purity of our religion to show that it is at variance with that law which warrants slavery.
~Patrick Henry

Every day, I would show up, and there were no kids, just me and my teacher in my classroom. Every day, I would be escorted by marshals past a mob of people protesting and boycotting the school. This went on for a whole year.
~Ruby Bridges

~

The ‘American Idol‘ and ‘X Factor‘ shows, they’re great shows. But I think I need to make a show like that, directed straight to the hood, to the artists that don’t get the attention, that don’t have the money to make themselves representable.
~Snoop Dogg

I want people to follow their dreams, yes… but I’m not interested in telling young black kids how to be rappers… I want to show them that there’s so many other paths you can take, besides a rapper or basketball player.
~J Cole

Things are different now. Back then you liked to be entertained, music and sports, and you let us in. What happened was we went straight to the top because talent counts. Now we showing how smart we are without you having to let us.
~author unknown

Black Lives Matter is our call to action. It is a tool to reimagine a world where black people are free to exist, free to live. It is a tool for our allies to show up differently for us.
~Patrisse Cullors

The liberals in the House strongly resemble liberals I have known through the last two decades in the civil rights conflict. When it comes time to show on which side they will be counted, they excuse themselves.
~Shirley Chisholm

Bring on your tear gas, bring on your grenades, your new supplies of Mace, your state troopers and even your national guards. But let the record show we ain’t going to be turned around.

One of the key elements of human behavior is, humans have a greater fear of loss than enjoyment of success. All the academic studies will show you that the fear of loss of capital is far greater than the enjoyment of gains.
~Laurence D Fink

I believe that if you show people the problems and you show them the solutions they will be moved to act.
~Bill Gates

~

A leader must be a good listener. He must be willing to take counsel. He must show a genuine concern and love for those under his stewardship.
~James E Faust

When a positive exchange between a brand and customers becomes quantifiable metrics, it encourages brand to provide better service, customer service to do a better job, and consumers to actively show their gratitude.
~Simon Mainwaring

~

There’s an old little jingle: ‘The chief use of slang is to show that you’re one of the gang.’ What that means is that every social group has its own linguistic bonding mechanism. If there’s a group of lawyers, they have their own slang. If there’s a group of doctors, they have their own slang, and so on.
~David Crystal

~

I believe that economists put decimal points in their forecasts to show they have a sense of humor.

A real gentleman, even if he loses everything he owns, must show no emotion. Money must be so far beneath a gentleman that it is hardly worth troubling about.
~Fyodor Dostoevsky

Wealthy people have not disappeared, they are just not so willing to show off their wealth.
~Martin Parr

~

When I started to make more or less serious money ‒ for those times ‒ then, of course, I wanted to show everyone that life is different: it’s a new kind of life; we are earning this money. We wanted to pay taxes and live honestly.
~Roman Abramovich (complicated Russian oligarch)

Free market economists frequently see minimum wage legislation as mere political intervention. However, there are decent economic theories which show that, under certain circumstances, minimum wages can be beneficial, as it makes workers more productive.
~Ha-Joon Chang

~

What would life be like if everybody insisted you must have actually built such-and-such a thing by yourself? I’d be an old man and have nothing to show for the aging.
~Ludwig Mies van der Rohe

Surround yourself with smart, dedicated people ‒ to build something isn’t a one-man show. It’s more important to have smart people who really believe in what you’re doing than really experienced people who may not share your dream.
~Niklas Zennstrom

As my father taught me, and he drove home that point, he said, ‘Just remember something. You don’t need to tell anybody how good you are. You show them how good you are.’ And he drove that home with me.

~Nancy Lopez (golf)

I’m going to show the difference between the champ and second place.

Everyone’s the hero in their own story. You’ve lived your life. You’re the good guy of your life, the protagonist of your own movie. Everyone knows that they have more in them to offer than they sometimes show.
~Sami Zayn (WWE)

~

Turning pro is a mindset. If we are struggling with fear, self-sabotage, procrastination, self-doubt, etc., the problem is, we’re thinking like amateurs. Amateurs don’t show up. Amateurs crap out. Amateurs let adversity defeat them. The pro thinks differently. He shows up, he does his work, he keeps on truckin’, no matter what.
~Steven Pressfield

When you get old and play every day like I did, it’s hard. Hard on your body. You start to get sore. You gain weight. But that makes me work harder, be stronger in my mind, and show I can still play.
~Asdrubal Cabrera (MLB)

I have self-doubt. I have insecurity. I have fear of failure. I have nights when I show up at the arena and I’m like, ‘My back hurts, my feet hurt, my knees hurt. I don’t have it. I just want to chill.’ We all have self-doubt. You don’t deny it, but you also don’t capitulate to it. You embrace it.
~Kobe Bryant (NBA)

I’ve got this rep as a party boy, but the only show I’ve ever missed was when I had food poisoning from an Australian duck curry. I was puking buckets.
~Noel Fielding

When they say you can’t, show them you can.
~Bernard Hopkins (WBA)

~

You only get one chance to make the first impression. And I made the biggest first impression ever by throwing the Big Show over the top rope.
~Cesaro (WWE)

I was never a bully; I would take on everybody at any time. Whether that was the No. 1 guy in the world or whether that was the No. 100 guy in the world, it didn’t make any bit of difference. If somebody wanted to fight, I would show up and fight.
~Chael Sonnen

If you want street fight, let’s go. If you want boxing, I show you. But people think I am, like, gangster. No. Ring is different world. Very dangerous.

~Kepa Arrizabalaga (soccer)

Individual awards are always great. You know, they show you that your hard work has paid off. But I’m in a team sport, right? So, winning the ultimate trophy as a team is more important at the end of the day.

Let me show you how it’s done… Loser!
~Babe Ruth

Emmitt Smith is a great running back. One of the things I like about him along with Edgerrin James is that neither one of them ‘show out’ when they run a touchdown.
~Earl Campbell

Who would have thought it would be possible to run across Canada on one leg, eh? I wanted to try the impossible and show that it could be done.
~Terry Fox (4/12/1980 ‒ 9/1/1980)

My goal is to show girls that I’m fighting so they don’t have to, so they don’t have to fight the same battles, so they don’t have to fight for wage equality or whatever it may be.
~Alex Morgan (soccer, philanthropist)

I am running to make history, to show that no human is limited. It’s not about money, it’s about showing a generation of people that there are no limits.

~Viv Richards (cricketeer)

You try to hide your emotions, so as not to show weaknesses to others. I believe it’s the same for every sportsman.
~Michael Schumacher

~

Anyone who thinks hunters are just ‘bloodthirsty morons’ hasn’t looked into hunting. If you wait through long, cold hours in the November woods with a bow in your hands hoping a buck will show, or if you spend days walking in the African bush trailing Cape buffalo while listening to lions roar, you’re sure to learn hunting isn’t about killing.
Donald Trump, Jr

You know when I fight, I’m going to sell out the show. Everyone wants to see someone get knocked out or tapped out.
~Nate Diaz (MMA)

~

I need to do well and show I’m a worthy driver in F1.
~Lando Norris

I feel like Hendrick just plays games in a way with NASCAR. I feel like they always start the year off kind of bad to like show NASCAR that they’re being nice and cooperating and following the rules and stuff, and then it gets a couple of months in, and then they start cheating and finding some speed.
~Kyle Larson

Show class, have pride, and display character. If you do, winning takes care of itself.
~Bear Bryant

~

Golf is my profession. Show business is just to pay the green fees.
~Bob Hope

Human bodies are designed for regular physical activity. The sedentary nature of much of modern life probably plays a significant role in the epidemic incidence of depression today. Many studies show that depressed patients who stick to a regimen of aerobic exercise improve as much as those treated with medication.
~Andrew Weil

We have really good data that show when you take patients and you really inform them about their choices, patients make more frugal choices. They pick more efficient choices than the health care system does.
~Donald Berwick

You can take care of your body, and it will low-key show you respect in turn.

Scars are a truly beautiful thing. Yes, they can be a little ugly on the outside, but scars show that you’re a survivor, that you made it through something, and not only did you make it through, but now you’re stronger and wiser and more educated because of that tough time
~Kyle Carpenter

I think scars are like battle wounds ‒ beautiful, in a way. They show what you’ve been through and how strong you are for coming out of it.
~Demi Lovato

I just want to show off my scar proudly and not be afraid of it.
~Carly Simon

You know the bad thing about being a survivor… You keep having to get into difficult situations in order to show off your gift.
~Carrie Fisher

I admit there’s an element of brutality in all my work ‒ it’s part of the truth about human existence I always want to explore ‒ but the last thing I’m trying to do is put on some kind of freak show, inviting people to get off on other people’s pain and humiliation.
~Todd Solondz (playwright)

Vladimir Nabokov liked to examine cruelty and the human condition. That didn’t mean he was cruel; there’s no evidence he kicked puppies just for the fun of it. Similarly, ‘Black Mirror‘ likes to examine possible dystopias, but that doesn’t mean the show is cynical enough to endorse them.
~Jeff Vandermeer

In films murders are always very clean. I show how difficult it is and what a messy thing it is to kill a man.
~Alfred Hitchcock

Cinema is a reflection of society and, in most cases, has the ability to be a mirror and not just show the problems but also give solutions and help them reach a large number of people through faces and voices that matter.
~Kirti Kulhari

It’s the movies that have really been running things in America ever since they were invented. They show you what to do, how to do it, when to do it, how to feel about it, and how to look how you feel about it.
~Andy Warhol

In a decaying society, art, if it is truthful, must also reflect decay. And unless it wants to break faith with its social function, art must show the world as changeable. And help to change it.
~Ernst Fischer

~

When I show a film at a festival, I am showing myself. Everything is at stake for me.
~Lars von Trier

A filmmaker doesn’t have to suffer to show suffering. You just have to understand it. You don’t have to die to shoot a death scene.
~David Lynch

The movies I like to make are very rich and full of passion. Some people see me as an action director, but action is not the only thing in my movies. I always like to show human nature ‒ something deep inside the heart.
~John Woo

I’ve never been a very prolific person, so when creativity flows, it flows. I find myself scribbling on little notepads and pieces of loose paper, which results in a very small portion of my writings to ever show up in true form.
~Kurt Cobain

We show people that anybody can paint a picture that they’re proud of. It may never hang in the Smithsonian, but it will certainly be something that they’ll hang in their home and be proud of. And that’s what it’s all about.
~Bob Ross

I never called my work an ‘art’. It’s part of show business, the business of building entertainment.
~Walt Disney

I don’t care if people like Trump or hate him, if they voted for him or not; people just want to have a good time. They don’t want to hear about immigration or whatever on a record or at a show.
~Shooter Jennings

The best way to make a show that’s going to resonate is to make a show that you’d love.
~Alex Hirsch

I always think of a show like a plant ‒ a little pruning now and then keeps it healthy, but you shouldn’t pull it out and chop the roots up.
~Len Goodman (Dancing With The Stars)

I think the only way to return my followers’ kindness and show my appreciation for their support is to become a better actor…
~Lee Min-ho

The art of acting is not to act. Once you show them more, what you show them, in fact is bad acting.
~Anthony Hopkins

I don’t have to show that I am working very hard.
~Salman Khan (actor)

~

I owe my whole acting career to the fact that I’m a singer. I went out to Los Angeles and auditioned for a TV show called ‘Fame L.A.‘ The original role was for a comedian, but they said I wasn’t very funny, so they asked me, ‘What else can you do?’ So I played a singer.
~Christian Kane

I actually started in the opposite place. I come from a technical background ‒ I’m a mathematician and a programmer by trade ‒ and I was one of those people who would watch a show and say, “Oh, that could never happen.”
~Michael Loceff

~

I don’t think you should try to be anything you’re not. If you’re not smiling all the time or always happy ‒ I don’t think it matters. If you’re having bad day, show you’re having a bad day. Don’t try to put up something that’s fake.
~Elle Fanning

Your wrinkles either show that you’re nasty, cranky, and senile, or that you’re always smiling.
~Carlos Santana

Whatever it is that I feel, I express it! I am free with my joy, my laughter, my pleasure, my pain, and I am blessed in that way as an actress that I can access those feelings within myself and not be ashamed to show whatever that is that’s appropriate for the character.
~Kimberly Elise

You’ve got to show your soul otherwise you’re just a piece of equipment.
~Sylvester Stallone

‘Saturday Night Live‘ was actually started with a show that Lorne Michaels and I did at a summer camp called Timberlane in Ontario when we were 14 and 15. We would do an improvisational show with music, comedy and acting.
~Howard Shore

The Cure wrote ‘Boys Don’t Cry,’ and it’s the same today: as a boy, you’re not meant to show your emotions, but if you don’t have a job or any prospects, you’re going to be depressed, and it will be much worse if you can’t express that. I hate the term because it’s become a buzzword, but it’s toxic masculinity.
~Sam Fender

There’s so much toxic masculinity out there. I grew up with the notion that the more masculine you are and the less you show emotion, the more of a man you are.
~Karamo Brown (Queer Eye)

I never expect anything from anyone. The way that people support me, it makes me emotional. Because all I do every day is try to show up as me 100% and spread love to people, and to receive it back the way that I do ‒ it is really mind-blowing.
~Tabitha Brown (America’s Mom)

~

Cheating on a quiz show? That’s sort of like plagiarizing a comic strip.
~Paul Scofield

I’m going out to let my real talent show, not to just stand there and dance around. Personally, I’d never lip-synch. It’s just not me.
~Ashlee Simpson

*X When The Muppet Show ended, we all sat around and said, what kind of television show would we like to do. We felt the need these days are for some quality children’s programming.
~Jim Henson

The whole saas-bahu* drama is very cliched. I feel there’s already too much of that on TV. So I was waiting for something like ‘Kuch Rang Pyar Ke Aise Bhi.’ The show offered a fresh and interesting plot.
~Erica Fernandes

*Evil mother-in-law, meek daughter-in-law

NBC had a show called ‘The Toughest Bouncer in America‘ that I did. But I told them I didn’t like that term, ‘bouncer.’ To me, it’s offensive. A bouncer likes to get physical, likes to put his hands on people.
~Mr T

I was going to hang it up on the twenty-fifth year of this show. I don’t know why. Maybe twenty-five years is enough. And I found out that I was having so much fun doing the show that we decided to stick around for a while.
~Johnny Carson

I used to just think about what my fans wanted all the time. But it just started feeling weird to me. I want to just show everyone who I am and stick to my vision. I have to trust myself.

What you have to get used to as a writer is realizing that most of what you come up with is wrong for the show.

Some people perceive ‘Ghost Adventures‘ to just be a ghost show on TV, but things are getting very serious, and we are making history in our findings.
~Zak Bagans

Sometimes I feel like I’m a contestant in a reality show that probably would be called The Apprentice Survivor Millionaire.
~Bob Iger

The problem is that television executives have got it into their heads that if one presenter on a show is a blonde-haired, blue-eyed heterosexual boy, the other must be a black Muslim lesbian.
~Jeremy Clarkson

~

Ultimately people don’t watch shows because of how realistic they are. They watch them because of the same dramatic elements that have always made stories interesting. And fundamentally if those elements don’t work, no amount of reality is going to be enough to keep people watching a show… I think ultimately what makes the show is not the reality but the drama.
~Michael Loceff (24)

You show me a great program and I’ll show you a passionate individual somewhere behind it.

The nature of show business is people within the business feel that if someone else fails, they move up a notch.
~Tom Arnold

There’s no damn business like show business ‒ you have to smile to keep from throwing up.
~Billie Holiday

I wanted to be a model; I wanted to be a nurse; I wanted to be so many things, almost anything but being part of show business.

If they had told me I was the janitor and would have to mop up and clean the toilets after the show in order to play, I probably would have done it.

In show business the key word is honesty. Once you’ve learned to fake that, the rest is easy.

Arrogance sort of destroys that nervousness because you’re having a bunch of people flatter you and tell you you’re awesome, and it keeps you from striving as hard for the kind of validation you seek from a good show.
~Cole Sprouse

The disease that knowledge brings is arrogance, and the disease that worship brings is showing off.
~Ibn Taymiyyah

If you do something too good, then, after a while, if you don’t watch it, you start showing off. And then you’re not as good any more.

A person of riyaa (show off) has three characteristics : He is lazy when alone, energetic when with others, and increases in his actions when he is praised while decreasing in them when he is criticized.

A kung fu man lives without being dependant on the opinions of others, and a master, unlike the beginner, holds himself in reserve. He is quiet and unassuming, with no desire to show off.

The Declaration of Independence I always considered as a theatrical show. Jefferson ran away with all the stage effect of that… and all the glory of it.

~W H Auden

…if you’re trying to show off for people at the top, forget it. They will look down on you anyhow. And if you’re trying to show off for people at the bottom, forget it. They will only envy you. Status will get you nowhere. Only an open heart will allow you to float equally between everyone.
~Mitch Albom

I’ve always been into theater and movies. When I was in school, I did a monologue for my talent show. I would go to the local theater. I was always in dance. I was always performing. That was always my thing.
~Odeya Rush

As I was growing up, I did a lot of talent shows. I won fifteen Sunday nights straight in a series of talent shows in Macon. I showed up the sixteenth night, and they wouldn’t let me go on any more. Whatever success I had was through the help of the good Lord.
~Otis Redding

It is possible to be a fan of reality TV, talent shows and bubblegum pop and still have a brain. You will also see that a great many people know perfectly well how silly and camp and trivial their fandom is.

I love fashion. I think it’s so important, because it’s how you show yourself to the world.
~Emma Watson

Fashion is comfort for me: being comfortable in what you are wearing. Because if you wear a designer gown and you aren’t comfortable in it, it will show.
~Sai Pallavi

I think tights make a comeback out of necessity every season: you can only go so far with naked legs in the cold! You’ve got to protect yourself. I remember going to a fashion show and saying, ‘And it’s okay if I wear nude tights with this?’ to the designer, who looked at me like I just killed his dog or something.
~Anna Kendrick

During a fashion show, I want the clothes to speak. The effort I put into my work must be respected.
~Giorgio Armani

Serena and Blair from ‘Gossip Girl‘ got to wear such awesome outfits, and being on a show like that, where you’re getting to wear incredible designers all the time, would be a lot of fun.

Fans are my favorite thing in the world. I’ve never been the type of artist who has that line drawn between their friends and their fans. The line’s always been really blurred for me. I’ll hang out with them after the show. I’ll hang out with them before the show. If I see them in the mall, I’ll stand there and talk to them for 10 minutes.
~Taylor Swift

I was playing with the audience between takes. And the SNL’ crew was like, OK, we see you.’ I’m like, Dude, they’re right there.’ If you were playing a rock show, you don’t just go quiet and tune your guitar between songs. You have a little bit of chat, a little bit of banter.
~Rege-Jean Page

It is hard to imagine Andre Le Notre laying out the exquisite landscape designs for Vaux-le-Vicomte, and later the magnificent Chateau de Versailles, with no high hill to stand on, no helicopter to fly in, and no drone to show him the complexities of the terrain. Yet he did, and with extreme precision, accuracy, and high style.
~Martha Stewart

You know, the camera is not meant just to show misery.
~Gordon Parks

Sensitive people faced with the prospect of a camera portrait put on a face they think is the one they would like to show to the world… Every so often what lies behind the facade is rare and more wonderful than the subject knows or dares to believe.
~Irving Penn

You don’t always have to show art in what’s called a white box; you can have a kind of complexity within an exhibit which actually respects the art as well.
~Zaha Hadid

~

The show business has all phases and grades of dignity, from the exhibition of a monkey to the exposition of that highest art in music or the drama which secures for the gifted artists a world-wide fame princes well might envy.
~P T Barnum

Circus is what real life should be like. It’s sincerity, feeling, emotions. All real. There are no lies in circus. There are artists working together to give a smile. It’s a world where people help one another. It’s the only show where a family, everyone from children to their grandmothers, can sit together and all be entertained by the same thing.
~Princess Stephanie of Monaco

When I found out after that first successful exhibition that the gallery wanted me to do another show like the first one, I come out two years later with four 6-foot drawings of classical nudes masturbating. The gallery director flipped the freak out!

~Cy Twombly

§ MUSIC:

For me, it shouldn’t just be a live show: it should be an experience. It should be some kind of crazy, tribal, exhausting experience.
~Glenn Danzig (Misfits, Danzig, etc)

Remember the first time you went to a show and saw your favorite band. You wore their shirt, and sang every word. You didn’t know anything about scene politics, haircuts, or what was cool. All you knew was that this music made you feel different from anyone you shared a locker with. Someone finally understood you. This is what music is about.
~Gerard Way

For a lot of people, music is about the show, the lights, and all that. With Filipino music fans, they genuinely listen to songs.
~Calum Scott

~

When you get something like MTV, it’s like regular television. You get it, and at first it’s novel and brand new and then you watch every channel, every show. And then you become a little more selective and more selective, until ultimately… you wind up with a radio.
~David Lee Roth

~

We have to go and show these people what classical music is. We say sometimes that classical music has a small audience, but it’s because people don’t have the chance to be closer to it.
~Gustavo Dudamel

If we just stick to one kind of music, our creativity is limited. We wanted to extend the audience for the cello, especially the younger people, and to show them how cool and how powerful and how diverse the cello can be.
~Stjepan Hauser

~

We want to keep doing our own music and show our own colors.
~J-Hope

However, people need to understand that it ain’t that deep to try and convince people of what your persona is. You are who you are, and what you are will show in time. What you aren’t can be hidden, but eventually it will come to light. Long story short: rappers should never take themselves too seriously.
~Wale

I show up ready to play, so I normally try and fit the situation.
~Matt Cameron (Soundgarden, Pearl Jam)

Playing a three-hour Rush show is like running a marathon while solving equations.

You can punch a wall or write a song. Just as painful either way, but you have something to show for it at the end of the day with a song.
~Trent Reznor

You know, when Michael Jackson does the moonwalk, he’s showing off! When Prince or Hendrix do a guitar solo, it’s confidence! I would hate to be at a show and some nervous wreck is sweating up there and doesn’t feel like he deserves to be there.

I think it takes a strong man to be in a relationship with a strong woman. A lot of people hear the word ‘diva’ and think of it as a negative. I see it as a positive. I want somebody who knows what they want out of life and isn’t afraid to show it.
~Nick Cannon

It was extremely important to show that Wilde’s sexuality was not just some intellectual idea. It was real, and it was about the human body. To just have mentioned it and not shown it would have been, I think, peculiar and wrong.

People deal with grief in many different ways. And some people in show business parade their relationships around like an accessory, and others like to keep it separate from business and commerce. It’s perfectly fine to say, ‘I actually don’t want to talk about my love because that’s not part of the fantasy world I created in commerce.’
~RuPaul

It takes a lot of courage to show your dreams to someone else.

Thanks to social media, we’ve also been able to show ourselves as we are. In the end, masks are useless. You have to be real.
~J Balvin

Masks are wonderfully paradoxical in this way: while they may hide the physical reality, they can show us how a person wants to be seen.
~Joanna Scott

~

It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the ‘good old days’ when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy.
~Sherry Turkle

I don’t have time for their judgement and their stupidity and you know they lay down with their ugly wives in front of their ugly children and look at their loser lives and then they look at me and they say, ‘I can’t process it’ well, no, you never will stop trying, just sit back and enjoy the show. You know?
~Charlie Sheen

Having taken on the care of foster children, a mother forced her own daughter to beat them. According to her later account: Mom puts the fly swatter in my hand and shows me how to do it: grab their wrists, and whack the plastic handle over their pink baby palms. She stands in the doorway of their room until I can crack hard enough to make them scream.
~Julie Gregory

It’s important to show solidarity for a child, no matter what. It’s important for a child to be raised in a situation where she sees love, solidarity, commitment and honor.
~Joe Nichols

My mother and my father have always supported me. Now in their eighties, they actually clamor onto the tour bus with me once or twice a year so they can watch the performances and hear the crowds. Traveling with eighty-something-year-olds on a tour bus… there has to be some sort of reality show in that.
~Jeff Dunham (ventriloquist)

Studies show that children best flourish when one mom and one dad are there to raise them.
~John Boehner

I believe that children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way. Show them all the beauty they possess inside.
~Whitney Houston

You should encourage a child to show off. You can say to a child, ‘Stop being rude,’ ‘Stop shouting,’ ‘Stop jumping around on the furniture.’ But ‘Stop showing off’? That’s awful.
~Charles Dance

Children show me in their playful smiles the divine in everyone. This simple goodness shines straight from their hearts and only asks to be loved.
~Michael Jackson

Grown men can learn from very little children for the hearts of little children are pure. Therefore, the Great Spirit may show to them many things which older people miss.
~Black Elk

Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.

~Phyllis Diller

Men and women cannot live by bread alone. They must also tinkle. Show me someone who has no trouble tinkling, and I will show you a happy and rich person.
~Art Buchwald

My position has always been that the way people age and the signs that we show of aging is nature’s way of tattooing. It’s natural scarification, and the life you lead gives you the symbols and the emblems of your life, the road map you followed.
~Frances McDormand

In order to be rated as good as a good man in the field of her earnings, she must show herself better than he. She must be more steady, or more trustworthy, or more skilled, or more cheap in order to have the same chance of employment.
~Florence Kelley (economist, 1859-1932)

To me synchronised swimming is a metaphor for the job of being a girl. They have to fake their smiles, they’re made up like dolls and they can’t show the effort they’re making, yet under the surface of the water it’s a struggle and a sacrifice.
~Celine Sciamma

‘I Won’ is not a love song. It’s just me uplifting women in general. I’m giving women the power to treat themselves as a trophy ‒ to show that and know it in yourself and be confident ‒ because when they do that, whoever they’re with is winning.
~Future

~

If you look at ‘American Horror Story‘ or ‘Crime Story,’ these are visceral, action-packed, sometimes bloody episodes of television. They’re not ‘feminine.’ They’re not about sexy women sitting around looking beautiful, drinking lattes. These episodes are calling cards to show companies like Marvel, ‘Look, women can do these kind of movies.’
~Ryan Murphy

That’s always been part of my goal ‒ to show the dark side of women. Men write about bad men all the time, and they’re called antiheroes.
~Gillian Flynn

Once conform, once do what other people do because they do it, and a lethargy steals over all the finer nerves and faculties of the soul. She becomes all outer show and inward emptiness; dull, callous, and indifferent.
~Virginia Woolf

My illustrious lordship, I’ll show you what a woman can do.
~Artemisia Gentileschi (17th century feminist artist)

There is a real vulgarity in the way women dress at the moment. They show off too much and try too hard. They don’t understand where the line is between sexy and vulgar. I know where that line is.
~Roberto Cavalli

Your dresses should be tight enough to show you’re a woman and loose enough to show you’re a lady.

Latin women are very comfortable with their bodies and their sexuality. We aren’t afraid to show that off a little bit more.

I think women are amazing for being able to show what they feel. I admire women who do. I think it’s a mistake when women cover their emotions to look tough. I say let’s own who we are and use it as a strength.

It was easy to persecute me without people feeling ashamed. It was easy to vilify me and project me as a woman who was not following the tradition of a ‘good African woman’ and as a highly educated elitist who was trying to show innocent African women ways of doing things that were not acceptable to African men.

I don’t have any ego about it, but I find there’s not a great work ethic in show business. A lot of people are in it to make money, and coming from stand-up, you have to work so hard because almost nothing works, and if you lose the audience for three minutes, you’re dead.
~Norm MacDonald

When I do stand-up, I’m basically doing a one-man show.
~Chris Rock

I don’t want the money. I don’t want the drama. I just want to do my show. I want to have fun again.
~Dave Chappelle

I always wanted my stand-up to feel like not just a show, but like you’re hanging out with someone for an hour. I like to just talk.
~Pete Davidson

To perform stand-up comedy in a club, that’s the most exciting profession in the world. You’re like Spartacus going into battle because every show is a different audience. And you’re not hiding behind anything; you’re yourself out there and being judged on your own merits.

~Woody Allen

If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn’t be a human being, you’d be a game show host.
~Gabriel Heatter

Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you’ve got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn’t your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.

They’re not supposed to show prison films in prison. Especially ones that are about escaping.

We’re all dying. We’re all in the process of oxidizing. Everyone of us is in the process of oxidizing, so to sort of interrupt one aspect of that while everything else goes on, it’s a freak show.
~Mel Gibson

I never want to lose the story-loving child within me, or the adolescent, or the young woman, or the middle-aged one, because all together they help me to be fully alive on this journey, and show me that I must be willing to go where it takes me, even through the valley of the shadow.

@Writers Platform

The dreaded phrase in design circles is ‘show and tell.’
~David Carson

Most people say, “Show, don’t tell,” but I stand by Show and Tell, because when writers put their work out into the world, they’re like kids bringing their broken unicorns and chewed-up teddy bears into class in the sad hope that someone else will love them as much as they do.
~Colson Whitehead

~Isaac Asimov

You cannot show people only the petals and not the thorns. It’s not fair to them.

Most poets are young simply because they have not been caught up. Show me an old poet, and I’ll show you, more often than not, either a madman or a master… it’s when you begin to lie to yourself in a poem in order simply to make a poem that you fail. That is why I do not rework poems.
~Charles Bukowski

~

In any story, the villain is the catalyst. The hero’s not a person who will bend the rules or show the cracks in his armor. He’s one-dimensional intentionally, but the villain is the person who owns up to what he is and stands by it.

Religious celebrations, and the good will, high spirits and generosity that mark them, are wonderful occasions for understanding the potential of ‘everyday multiculturalism’, and how people from diverse faiths can connect and show they care, rather than go down parallel, sometimes hostile, roads.

Take heed, then, often to come together to give thanks to God, and show forth His praise. For when you assemble frequently in the same place, the powers of Satan are destroyed, and the destruction at which he aims is prevented by the unity of your faith.

No man is to be credited for his mere authority’s sake, unless he can show Scripture for the maintenance of his opinion.

~Florence Nightingale (founder, modern nursing)

Government can run and fund programs, but it can’t love, it can’t show compassion, and it can’t embrace. Our faith is designed to have social implications, not just heavenly ones. The spiritual and the social must be connected.
~Tony Evans

Don’t speak to me about your religion; first show it to me in how you treat other people. Don’t tell me how much you love your God; show me in how much you love all God’s children.

In the end, I’m not as interested in what you have to tell or sell as I am in how you choose to live and give.
~Cory Booker

Show true religion, cause words don’t relieve
~Francis Chan

Show me one neuron that has some cellular semblance of free will. And there is no such neuron.
~Robert Sapolsky

I happen to be a kind of monkey. I have a monkeylike curiosity that makes me want to feel, smell, and taste things which arouse my curiosity, then to take them apart. It was born in me. Not everybody is like that, but a scientific researchist should be. Any fool can show me an experiment is useless. I want a man who will try it and get something out of it.
~Willis R Whitney

Restlessness is discontent and discontent is the first necessity of progress. Show me a thoroughly satisfied man and I will show you a failure.

That brain of mine is something more than merely mortal, as time will show.

What you have when everyone wears the same playclothes for all occasions, is addressed by nickname, expected to participate in Show And Tell, and bullied out of any desire for privacy, is not democracy; it is kindergarten.
~Judith Martin

I’d like to say a few words about one of the most popular concepts in the modern education–show and tell. Show and Tell is a device created by grammar schools to communicate family secrets to 32 other families before 9:15 am in the morning.
~Robert Orben

Calvin: Today for show and tell, I’ve brought a tiny miracle of nature: a single snowflake! I think we might all learn a lesson from how this utterly unique and exquisite crystal turns into an ordinary, boring molecule of water just like every other one when you bring it into the classroom. And now, while the analogy sinks in, I will be leaving you drips and going outside.

budding promise, tender shoots
gems of wisdom, call them fruits

purience, experience, curiosity a thirst
