Unless life is one giant rap battle, you don't need to freestyle your way to success.

Over time, the welfare state has become dysfunctional in a surprising way. But in a way it became a victim of its own success: It became so successful at prolonging life, that it becomes financially unsustainable, unless you make major changes to things like retirement ages.

Unless you're willing to have a go, fail miserably, and have another go, success won't happen.

Roosevelt's strength was that he understood he would never get anything through the Republican old guard, his party, unless the public pressured Congress.

As much as I value an union of all the states, I would not admit the southern states into the union, unless they agreed to the discontinuance of this disgraceful trade, because it would bring weakness and not strength to the union.

I do not like sports, unless you consider treating all humankind with love and respect a sport.

You can't win unless you learn how to lose.

I don't think the human race will survive the next thousand years, unless we spread into space.

We are not going to be able to operate our Spaceship Earth successfully nor for much longer unless we see it as a whole spaceship and our fate as common. It has to be everybody or nobody.

Unless and until our society recognizes cyber bullying for what it is, the suffering of thousands of silent victims will continue.

Normal social behavior requires that we be able to recognize identities in spite of change. Unless we can do so, there can be no human society as we know it.

Our individual lives cannot, generally, be works of art unless the social order is also.

I don't smile or talk before 10 A.M. unless it's scripted.

If I am not mistaken, it was a British poet who said that 'no one is properly dressed unless he wears a smile.'

I don't leave a room unless I leave a smile. I want to leave them laughing.

I never smile unless I mean it.

A fact is a simple statement that everyone believes. It is innocent, unless found guilty. A hypothesis is a novel suggestion that no one wants to believe. It is guilty, until found effective.

If I could be more vague I'd write more about people in my life, but I hate hurting feelings or making people feel uncomfortable. I've done that before. Unless they're sad songs. Those get finished fast, but the mean ones often end up at the back of the bottom drawer and it's probably for the best.

You put a song on the record or on tape and you stop singing it. You just don't sit around and sing it anymore unless you're performing. That's kind of sad.

I am firmly of the opinion that women who make a lot of effort to hang onto their looks in middle age (unless they are beauties, entertainers or prostitutes) are rather sad, as one should surely have something more substantial to recommend one by this time, such as kindness or cleverness.

It's a sad day in this country when you can't talk about law and order unless they want to call you a racist.

With female-oriented movies, unless it's something like 'Bridesmaids' or a romantic comedy, you've got to really worry about your opening weekend. And I'm always telling stories about women, not younger women, and it's just a much tougher audience to get to the movie theater.

I will never say never, but I will say never to doing the more typical romantic comedies. You know, unless I'm getting audited and I'm on the street and I desperately need some dough and that's the only thing that I'm getting.

Unless we place our religion and our treasure in the same thing, religion will always be sacrificed.
