“One that lies three thirds and uses a known truth to pass a thousand nothings with, should be once heard and thrice beaten.”
William Shakespeare
“I told him we have a thousand threes (three-point shots) to make up, and I've penciled him for about 500 of them.”
Mike D'Antoni
“To be aware of a single shortcoming within oneself is more useful than to be aware of a thousand in somebody else. Rather than speaking badly about people and in ways that will produce friction and unrest in their lives, we should practice a purer perception of them, and when we speak of others, speak of their good qualities.”
Dalai Lama
“I did not have three thousand pairs of shoes, I had one thousand and sixty.”
Imelda Marcos
“New Zealand is a country of thirty thousand million sheep, three million of whom think they are human.”
Barry Humphries
“If this invisible germ of life in the grain of wheat can thus pass unimpaired through three thousand resurrections, I shall not doubt that my soul has power to clothe itself with a body suited to its new existence when this earthly frame has crumbled into dust.”
William Jennings Bryan
“When you play this game twenty years, go to bat ten-thousand times, and get three-thousand hits, do you know what that means? You've gone zero for seven-thousand.”
Pete Rose
