Hit Quotations
The reason we wouldn't make a seven-inch tablet isn't because we don't want to hit a price point, it's because we don't think you can make a great tablet with a seven-inch screen.
Steve Jobs
If you have an important point to make, don't try to be subtle or clever. Use a pile driver. Hit the point once. Then come back and hit it again. Then hit it a third time - a tremendous whack.
Winston Churchill
Inflation is as violent as a mugger, as frightening as an armed robber and as deadly as a hit man.
Ronald Reagan
There are horrible people who, instead of solving a problem, tangle it up and make it harder to solve for anyone who wants to deal with it. Whoever does not know how to hit the nail on the head should be asked not to hit it at all.
Friedrich Nietzsche
We aim above the mark to hit the mark.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Fame hit me like a ton of bricks.
Eminem
In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.
Henry David Thoreau
So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face.
Yogi Berra
How can you think and hit at the same time?
Yogi Berra
Don't hit at all if it is honorably possible to avoid hitting; but never hit soft.
Theodore Roosevelt
