If you would hit the mark, you must aim a little above it.
Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

The latest horror to hit the U.S. looks to have been caused by people of Middle Eastern origin, bearing Muslim names. Again, shame. This fuels more hatred for a religion and a people who have nothing to do with these events.
Cat Stevens

If you hit a midget on the head with a stick, he turns into 40 gold coins.
Patton Oswalt

You hit somebody with your fist and not with your fingers spread.
Heinz Guderian

I don't care who you are, you're going to choke in certain matches. You get to a point where your legs don't move and you can't take a deep breath. You start to hit the ball about a yard wide, instead of inches.
Arthur Ashe

To hit bottom is to fall from grace.
Douglas Horton

I do not say a proverb is amiss when aptly and reasonably applied, but to be forever discharging them, right or wrong, hit or miss, renders conversation insipid and vulgar.
Miguel de Cervantes

When that second airplane hit the building, we all changed. We need to get back to some serious thinking.
Steven Tyler

Session work makes you more strict. You can't hit notes all over the place. You've got to make each one really count.
Ritchie Blackmore

Today's Little Leaguers, and there are millions of them each year, pick up how to hit and throw and field just by watching games on TV. By the time they're out of high school, the good ones are almost ready to play professional ball.
Mickey Mantle

After I hit a home run I had a habit of running the bases with my head down. I figured the pitcher already felt bad enough without me showing him up rounding the bases.
Mickey Mantle

When I hit a home run I usually didn't care where it went. So long as it was a home run was all that mattered.
Mickey Mantle

My theory of hitting was just to watch the ball as it came in and hit it.
Tommy Lasorda

Somebody once asked me if I ever went up to the plate trying to hit a home run. I said, 'Sure, every time.'
Mickey Mantle

When I'm acting, I'm two beings. There's the one monitoring the distance between myself and the camera, making sure I hit my marks, and there is the one driven by this inner fire, this delicious fear.
Jeanne Moreau

My father was a man of love. He always loved me to death. He worked hard in the fields, but my father never hit me. Never. I don't ever remember a really cross, unkind word from my father.
Johnny Cash

I was lucky enough to be the lady that was asked to be Maria in the Sound Of Music, and that film was fortunate enough to be huge hit. The same with Mary Poppins. I got terribly lucky in that respect.
Julie Andrews

Some of us can be examples about going ahead and growing, and some of us, unfortunately, don't make it there, and end up being examples because they had to die. I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.
Stevie Ray Vaughan

I hit rock bottom, but thank God my bottom wasn't death.
Stevie Ray Vaughan

One thing is that I wasn't getting booked that well, and they had control over who got the awards, they had control over who sold. And they really did not want Willie or me, either one, to have a hit record. They wanted the money, but they didn't want us to be the ones.
Waylon Jennings
