INTRODUCTORY MARKERS

INTRODUCTORY MARKERS (before "I")

'Adapt and overcome' is my new motto * My maxim was "Seize the day.'' (slogan)

As for me, all I know is (that) I know nothing.

By and large, I've been healthy all my life * By and large, language is a tool for concealing the truth.

However difficult life may seem, there is always something you can do and succeed at.

It’s funny how I’m good at giving advice to others, but when it comes to helping myself, I don’t know what to do.

Just because nobody complains doesn't mean all parachutes are perfect.

Learning English is like learning to swim or play ball. We learn to swim by swimming, to play ball by plaing ball, and to speak English by speaking English * Thinking will not overcome fear but action will * By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.

One thing about being a celebrity that I learned a long time ago was that I pretty much gave up the right to fair treatment.

So I'm ugly. So what? I never saw anyone hit a ball with his face. Joe Dimagio 

Sometimes by losing a battle you find a new way to win the war * Sometimes a concept is baffling not because it is profound but because it is wrong * Sometimes it's the journey that teaches you a lot about your destination * Sometimes it's the smallest decisions that can change your life forever.

The best way to have what you want, is to want what you have * The most difficult thing in life is to know yourself. * The shortest way to do many things is to do only one thing at once.

The problem with having a sense of humor is often that people you use it on aren't always in the mood.  

(The) truth is, everyone is going to hurt you. You just got to find the ones worth suffering for.'

To accomplish great things we must not only act, but also dream; not only plan, but also believe. 

To be angry is human, but rarely, fair. You may only be angry with the right person, to the right degree, at the right time, for the right purpose, and in the right way.  

Try/Strive not to be/become a (man of) success, but rather (try to be/become) a man of value.

True love doesn't happen right away; it's an ever-growing process. It develops after you've gone through many ups and downs, when you've suffered together, cried together, laughed together.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

When you come / it comes (right) down to it, nothing in this life is free. (When all's said and done; At the end of the day; In the end; In the long run; Ultimately, al final) * We are all the same. "When it comes down to it, we all depend on others * When it comes down to it, I'm kind of a nerdy actor. * When it comes down to it, I just want to work.

When it comes down to competition, it's not always about the best skater, it's about who skates the best in that competition. * When it comes down to the music, it's just you and the microphone.

We love life, not because we are used to living but because we are used to loving * We must be willing to let go of the life we have planned, so as to have the life that is waiting for us.

Without music, life would be a mistake.

You can ignore politics no matter how much you'd like to * You only live once, but if you do it right, once is enough * You don't know what it's like (to be) out there. You may think you do, but you don't. I have no words to describe what it's like when you're attacked racially.

What if everything is an illusion and nothing exists? In that case, I overpaid for my carpet *
(Do) You know what it's like having five kids? Imagine you're drowning and someone hands you a baby. 

When I model I pretty much go blank. You can't think too much or it doesn't work.
