The laws of God, the laws of man he may keep that will and can; not I: let God and man decree laws for themselves and not for me.

Nature
Christ
I may be wrong, but the essential illustrative nature of most documentary photography, and the worship of the object per se, in our best nature photography, is not enough to satisfy the man of today, compounded as he is of Christ, Freud, and Marx.
- Aaron Siskind
Island
Which
Judging is a lonely job in which a man is, as near as may be, an island entire.
- Abe Fortas
Financial
Investment
We at Fidelity view ourselves just as much a financial information processing company as an investment management firm. That may not be too newsworthy.
- Abigail Johnson
Going
Set
There's a time that may come in an organization where leading by influence is not enough. When things are not going the way they need to go, there's a time when one has to step up... to set the organization back on the right direction.
- Abigail Johnson
Envy
Means
This only grant me, that my means may lie too low for envy, for contempt too high.

Alive
Might
Ted Kennedy is the only person alive who might know more than we do about Chappaquiddick, and he may not.

Images
Been
When the government takes video of people in public places, the images should only be kept as long as they may reasonably be needed to investigate a crime. After a few days, if there has not been a report of a crime, they should be destroyed.
- Adam Cohen
Law
Unjust
To be rejected on account of old age may or may not feel the same as being rejected on the basis of race or sex. But it is clearly unjust and dehumanizing, and the law should take it more seriously than it does.
- Adam Cohen
Strong
Amount
If a company knows it may have to pay a large amount of money if it poses an unreasonable threat to others, it will have a strong incentive to act better.
- Adam Cohen

Thwart
Creativity may be hard to nurture, but it's easy to thwart.

- Adam Pally
Sure
Which
I have one. I may get another during the off-season, I might get my son's name but I'm not sure yet. The one I have is my Hebrew name, which I share with my grandfather, and it's not the best tattoo.
- Adam Pally

Though
General
My general plan is good, though in the detail there may be faults.

Reaction
Over
It's hard not to take it personally when being wait-listed, passed over for a promotion, or losing a client to a competitor. But while feeling aggrieved may be an understandable reaction, it's not productive - it's not a good use of the experience.
- Adena Friedman
Teach
Before
Even the mundane task may have something to teach you - especially if it's a task you haven't performed before.
- Adena Friedman
Chance
Some
It's important to experience as many parts of an organization as you can - because some day, you may have the chance to lead that organization.

Used
Any material may be used but the theme is the same and the response is the same for all artwork... we all have the same concern, but the artist must know exactly what the experience is. He must pursue the truth relentlessly.
- Agnes Martin
Tourist
Other
The tourist may complain of other tourists, but he would be lost without them.

Sometimes

Wanting
Some
Some investors may grumble about entrepreneurs wanting 'unicorn valuations.' But let's be honest: most investors want them, too, and are supporting the massive capitalization of these companies.
- Aileen Lee
Needs
Concerted Effort
There needs to be more deliberate effort on the part of folks at VC firms to bring in a more diverse team of talent. You have to make a more concerted effort to bring in people who are different and who may not be in your network.
- Aileen Lee
Tech
Females
The reality is that in a tech environment that is 90 percent to 100 percent male, it's not super-encouraging for females to be successful. It's just a lot of things that contribute to that: things that people do or things that people say that they may not realize have unintended consequences.
- Aileen Lee
Infectious
Which
Belief in oneself is incredibly infectious. It generates momentum, the collective force of which far outweighs any kernel of self-doubt that may creep in.
- Aimee Mullins
Happen
Contradict
Sometimes as human beings, we're so contradictory - we may say something or do something and completely contradict ourselves. That's what I'm learning to embrace in television - not knowing what's going to happen.
- Aja Naomi King
Love
Think
We are often unaware of how much we love the people around us. This is true for everyone. We may think that we love certain people, but we don't know how profoundly we love them.
- Akhil Sharma
Back
Concept
I don't believe in the concept of working out rigorously to pump muscles. It may be effective, but when you stop working out, it comes back to square one.

Mistakes
Made
We're all capable of mistakes, but I do not care to enlighten you on the mistakes we may or may not have made.
- Al Gore
Think
I Think
I think any husband knows when to stand down when it comes to domestic disputes. After 13 years of marriage, I even think I may have it figured out.
- Al Madrigal
Think
Based
The best crime novels are all based on people keeping secrets. All lying - you may think a lie is harmless, but you put them all together and there's a calamity.
- Alafair Burke
Mind
Idiotic
Letterman, despite whatever idiotic (or worse?) things he may have done with women on his staff, was wise enough to realize that silence isn't permanent and peace of mind can't be bought.
- Alafair Burke
Move
Give
Learning to give up on perfection may be just about the most romantic move any of us could make.
- Alain de Botton
Learn
Most
There may be significant things to learn about people by looking at what annoys them most.
- Alain de Botton
Love
Parent
Parent and child may both love, but - unbeknown to the child - each party is on a different end of the axis. This is why, in adulthood, when we first long for 'love', what we mean is that we want to 'be loved' as we were once loved by a parent.
- Alain de Botton
Waiting
Side
I know there's a creative side to artists to - pardon me - there's a creative side to scientists already, but there may be an artistic side, too, waiting to break free.

Work
Graham
Graham Greene's work must be included in any survey of top-rank spy novels, and 'Our Man in Havana' may be his best.
- Alan Furst
Like
Pathological
My feeling is that writing is, for me, a pathological condition. That could sound like a mystical experience, and it may be a mystical experience, but I have learnt just to go with it.
- Alan Garner
Game
Hinge
Coaches do so much research about a referee because they believe refereeing is such a crucial part of the game that the result may hinge on what we say or do. They probably know more about me than I know myself!
- Alan Lewis
Evidence
Methods
I oppose any belief that contradicts experimental evidence as determined by the methods of science. All beliefs not in such contradiction may be considered as faith. Whether faith in a particular belief is beneficial or not is another matter.
- Alan Lightman
Doing
Paying
You may not have any extra talent, but maybe you are just paying more attention to what you are doing.
- Alan Shepard
Surface
In The Past
Liquids may have existed on the surface of Pluto in the past.

Which
Rather
Mathematical reasoning may be regarded rather schematically as the exercise of a combination of two facilities, which we may call intuition and ingenuity.
- Alan Turing
Friendship
Behind
Don't walk behind me; I may not lead. Don't walk in front of me; I may not follow. Just walk beside me and be my friend.
- Albert Camus
Always
Harm
The evil that is in the world almost always comes of ignorance, and good intentions may do as much harm as malevolence if they lack understanding.
- Albert Camus
Everyone
Fundamental
Most of the fundamental ideas of science are essentially simple, and may, as a rule, be expressed in a language comprehensible to everyone.
- Albert Einstein
Subtle
Plain
God may be subtle, but he isn't plain mean.
- Albert Einstein
Been
Large
Considered now as a possession, one may define culture as the residuum of a large body of useless knowledge that has been well and truly forgotten.
- Albert J. Nock
Learning
Kind
Perhaps the prevalence of pedantry may be largely accounted for by the common error of thinking that, because useful knowledge should be remembered, any kind of knowledge that is at all worth learning should be remembered too.
- Albert J. Nock
Motivational
Wonderful
Do something wonderful, people may imitate it.
- Albert Schweitzer
Access
Though
But the Congress has made the determination that certain kinds of information can be protected even though the American people may want to have access to information.
- Alberto Gonzales
Resolve
Which
In life there are no problems, that is, objective and external choices; there is only the life which we do not resolve as a problem but which we live as an experience, whatever the final result may be.
- Alberto Moravia
Race
Running
We may train or peek for a certain race, but running is a lifetime sport.
- Alberto Salazar
Business
Politics
I'm constantly looking for ways to learn and elevate your craft, patience for yourself, and patience for this business. It's not a fair business. You may be great, but it may take years for someone to notice what you're capable of because of politics.
- Aldis Hodge
Nature
Them
In June as many as a dozen species may burst their buds on a single day. No man can heed all of these anniversaries; no man can ignore all of them.
- Aldo Leopold
Truth
Thrilling
An unexciting truth may be eclipsed by a thrilling lie.
- Aldous Huxley
Optimistic
Pessimistic
A man may be a pessimistic determinist before lunch and an optimistic believer in the will's freedom after it.
- Aldous Huxley
Participation
Trump
We need more participation, so when I see someone like Trump, I go, 'You know something? Good for him'. I may not support him, but let him run.

Confident
Desires
A man desires praise that he may be reassured, that he may be quit of his doubting of himself; he is indifferent to applause when he is confident of success.

Next
Bury
The next war... may well bury Western civilization forever.

More
Rising
Volatility may be rising simply because investors must digest more information every day.
- Alex Berenson
Mirrors
Middle
At any moment, one company stands in the spotlight of the middle ring in the stock market's never-ending circus. It may not be the biggest corporation in the world, or the most profitable, but somehow it both mirrors and leads the market's broader action.
- Alex Berenson
Want
Which
For investors who do want to speculate in high-yield bonds, one alternative may be a junk bond mutual fund, which can offer investors the relative safety of diversification.
- Alex Berenson
Beginning
Been
We, in our Province, are beginning to realize and appreciate that our slowness in keeping up with our North American neighbours may well have been a blessing in disguise.

More
Malnutrition
We may eventually come to realize that chastity is no more a virtue than malnutrition.

Appropriate
Every film may not be appropriate for a theatrical release, and the theatrical business is not a very good business for anybody except the distributor.

Think
However
When we eat something at a restaurant, however simple it may look, there's something in it that makes you think, 'Well, I couldn't quite do this from home.'
