He that is good, will infallibly become better, and he that is bad, will as certainly become worse; for vice, virtue and time are three things that never stand still.
Charles Caleb Colton

I think the tone of the show has certainly changed over the years, because it's really, really hard to do something different when you have a show going on as long as this has.
Dan Castellaneta

But he like my mother, had certainly come to know that those who work the most do not make the most money. It was the fault of the rich, it seemed, but just how he did not know.
Agnes Smedley

Well, I certainly did not think that I could do worse.
D. W. Griffith

I'm certainly getting a lot more mail... that's basically it.
Sam Mendes

I certainly had no intention of playing a man.
Fiona Shaw

In a budget this massive, there are certainly areas where I think we could do much better.
Mac Thornberry

I've calmed down, certainly, from the days of being 18, but I'm still having a good time.
Christian Slater

The idea of writer as sage is pretty much dead today. I would certainly feel very uncomfortable in the role.
J. M. Coetzee

I think that certainly my choices empower me.
Kyra Sedgwick

I can never tell ahead of time which book will give me trouble - some balk every step of the way, others seem to write themselves - but certainly the mechanics of writing, finding the time and the psychic space, are easier now that my children are grown.
Anne Tyler

I think it's a mother's dream come true to see it work out that way. Not just the mother, but certainly parents, to know that their children have a very solid moral foundation and religious foundation.
Erika Slezak

Many laws as certainly make bad men, as bad men make many laws.
Walter Savage Landor

Certainly tears are given to us to use. Like all good gifts, they should be used properly.
Loretta Young

Optimism is not inherently a superior way of viewing the world. Certainly doctors will say it might be better for one's physical health to be an optimist. But, morally speaking it may not be appropriate in certain circumstances.
Todd Solondz

There are certainly times when my own everyday life seems to retreat so the life of the story can take me over. That is why a writer often needs space and time, so that he or she can abandon ordinary life and "live" with the characters.
Margaret Mahy

The idea was to come up with a song that had the same kind of feeling and inspiration as Fame and yet be different from Fame. I certainly didn't want to do Fame II.
Irene Cara

So I would say Reagan was the best, and certainly Clinton the worst.
Pat Boone

Aaron is a very passionate, maniacal writer so the scripts really come from him, but he is very open to... y'know, we'll plan ideas and we'll certainly tussle about stuff when the script comes out. So, to a certain extent, he's very interested. If there's some problem or something that doesn't ring true, he wants to know why and he wants to correct it or fight for it.
Bradley Whitford

Here I found myself in my early 20s, at the height of my career, up against something I was totally powerless against. I had enemies I had never heard of because of this. I certainly didn't have needles hanging out of my arms, nor did I smoke anything.
Irene Cara
