Saw Quotations
I saw few die of hunger; of eating, a hundred thousand.
Benjamin Franklin
My mother was the most beautiful woman I ever saw. All I am I owe to my mother. I attribute all my success in life to the moral, intellectual and physical education I received from her.
George Washington
Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn't really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That's because they were able to connect experiences they've had and synthesize new things.
Steve Jobs
I came, I saw, I conquered.
Julius Caesar
I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.
Michelangelo
I never saw a wild thing sorry for itself. A small bird will drop frozen dead from a bough without ever having felt sorry for itself.
David Herbert Lawrence
Living is like tearing through a museum. Not until later do you really start absorbing what you saw, thinking about it, looking it up in a book, and remembering - because you can't take it in all at once.
Audrey Hepburn
If my critics saw me walking over the Thames they would say it was because I couldn't swim.
Margaret Thatcher
Your purpose is to make your audience see what you saw, hear what you heard, feel what you felt. Relevant detail, couched in concrete, colorful language, is the best way to recreate the incident as it happened and to picture it for the audience.
Dale Carnegie
So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit with his face.
Yogi Berra
