“You think, eventually, that nothing can disturb you and that your nerves are impregnable. Yet, looking down at that familiar face, I realized that death is something to which we never become calloused.”
Eliot Ness
“You've got a lot of nerve, To say you are my friend, When I was down, you just stood there grinning”
Bob Dylan
“Any man who has the brains to think and the nerve to act for the benefit of the people of the country is considered a radical by those who are content with stagnation and willing to endure disaster.”
William Randolph Hearst
“It destroys one's nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.”
Benjamin Disraeli
“I think it's more nerve-wracking being on the sidelines than it is being on the court. When you're on the court, you have the confidence that you can win. You know you're in charge of your destiny, you're in charge of what happens out there. When you're on the sidelines, you don't have any control. So it was tough watching.”
Ilian Evtimov
“I think I'm just starting hockey again, I'm so nervous. It's a nerve-wracking position, really, to be honored in such a manner.”
Dickie Moore
“I think the first match is the most nerve-wracking, and Catriona and Carin are both very cool and calm. I suspected that Nancy [Lopez, the US captain] would put out one of her young ones early and I wanted a pair with lots of experience. They won't get wound up.”
