But why should not the New Englander try new adventures – not lay so much stress on his grain, his potato and grass crop, and his orchards – and raise other crops than these? Why concern ourselves so much about our beans for seed, and not be concerned at all about a new generation of men.
To be honest, we live in an exciting time where form is concerned.

I’m a little concerned about this notion everybody wants us to be objective.

The only distinction I’d make is between film and telly, I guess. “Film,” “movies,” and “cinema” are all synonyms as far as I’m concerned; but telly is different. It’s just a plodding we’ve-done-this-scene, we’ve-done-that-scene and it never becomes this new other thing.
Now, as far as monitoring is concerned, what my point is, we need to make sure that any place – I don’t care whether it’s a mosque, a school, a supermarket, a theater, you know it doesn’t matter.

Some Internet operators are concerned that video services such as Netflix and YouTube consume lots of the bandwidth on the network. While there is some truth to this, my guess is that the operators wished they could provide the same kind of services with the same success as Netflix and YouTube.

As far as executing work is concerned, you do it all in order. You do it in contractual order. There’s no overlap, it’s just continuation of your ordinary work. You move from one project into another.

But then you become closed. Then you start dying as far as your intelligence is concerned because intelligence needs the open sky, the wind, the air, the sun in order to grow, to expand, to flow. To remain alive it needs a constant flow; if it becomes stagnant it becomes slowly slowly a dead phenomenon.
I had to learn early on that where conservatives are concerned, the truth about them is the last thing anybody wants to report. It’s the lies and distortions, the mischaracterizations, the character assassinations, that people want to report.

When I had the job of police commissioner, 20 years ago, I was more sensitive, more cognizant of complaints and concerned about public opinion. I’ve learned to do what I think is the right thing.

The thing about the state of hip-hop is that people are too concerned. I don’t think that there’s a problem with being too concerned about videogames, especially for me, because I’m not in the industry. I’m just a consumer. But hip-hop is constantly like, “What are you doing for the scene?”
The religion of tomorrow will be less concerned with the dogmas of theology and more concerned with the social welfare of humanity.

I believe in my mother’s blessings. And as far as Sai Baba is concerned, I believe there is only one God.

You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end.

People need service – great service where music is concerned.

I try not to get analytical in the writing process. I try to just kind of keep the flow from my brain to my hand as far as the pen is concerned and go with the moment and go with my guts.

We spend too much time wondering what others may have thought about our outfit or the comment we made in the small group meeting. We see opportunities to testify about Christ, but we avoid them.

It’s the difference between a parable and a pamphlet. A parable discusses things that are relevant in the past, the future, and the present – regardless of the outcome in the present.

When museums are built these days, architects, directors, and trustees seem most concerned about social space: places to have parties, eat dinner, wine-and-dine donors.

I admit I was somewhat concerned when we started to sign so many players – naturally you are going to worry about whether you can retain your place in the side.

Whether meeting with leaders and parents concerned about drugs in Bonn, Lisbon, or with the Holy Father at the Vatican, or doing a pretty fair flamenco in Madrid, I think Nancy’s one of the best ambassadors America’s ever had.
Whatever we do must be in accord with human nature. We cannot drive people; we must direct their development.

You are equally responsible for your place in the culture, and you must make a contribution, and you must accept responsibility for what goes down on your watch. You have no excuse if you are a conservative not to be concerned about the environment. You are equally responsible.

As far as I’m concerned, it is clear that the concept of premium will be increasingly defined through sustainability in the future. BMW, like no other brand, will still stand for vitality and driving pleasure in the future. But it will also represent efficiency and environmental friendliness.

In strategic decisions, I’d be really concerned about overconfidence.

We want to be famous as a writer, as a poet, as a painter, as a politician, as a singer, or what you will. Why? Because we really don’t love what we are doing. If you loved to sing, or to paint, or to write poems, if you really loved it you would not be concerned with whether you are famous or not.
Nothing perhaps has so retarded the reception of the higher conclusions of Geology among men in general, as … [the] instinctive parsimony of the human mind in matters where time is concerned.
Right now we’re concerned about budget. Right now we’re concerned about the prospect of interest rate rise.

He came into a rough time and he, and Harding before him, fixed that by budgeting.
As far as I’m concerned … the Universe is a junk yard, with everything overpriced. I am through poking around in the junk heaps, looking for bargains. Every so-called bargain … has been connected by fine wires to a dynamite bouquet.

All I’m saying is, where relationships are concerned, don’t confuse length with strength.

We can’t all work in the inner city. And, I don’t even think that it is incumbent upon an African-American intellectual to be concerned in their work with problems of race and class. It’s just one of the things, that we here at the DuBois Institute, are concerned about.

I feel that the time is always right to do what is right. Where progress for the Negro in America is concerned, there is a tragic misconception of time among whites. They seem to cherish a strange, irrational notion that something in the very flow of time will cure all ills.
The universe is not particularly concerned with you.
As a member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, I’m concerned about the recklessness of public policy that endangers people’s lives, especially in minority communities, where crime often is such a scourge.

Of all the issues we are concerned with at present, the most basic issue, in my estimation, is that of human-earth relations.
I don’t really like the way that journalism works in the UK anyway; it’s all about getting the most shocking thing out of somebody and kind of twisting people’s words, which isn’t really journalism, as far as I’m concerned.
The effect of sincerity is to give one’s work the character of a protest. The painter, being concerned only with conveying his impression, simply seeks to be himself and no one else.
I want paint to work as flesh… my portraits to be of the people, not like them. Not having a look of the sitter, being them … As far as I am concerned the paint is the person. I want it to work for me just as flesh does.
I feel like I’m 18, with the maturity level of like a 14-year-old. I’m still the same goofball; I’m still in college, as far as I’m concerned.
I’m a socially concerned citizen of India. I have strong views on issues of social and political relevance. But it’s very difficult to voice it in an intelligent manner without it sounding contrived. Because people think you’re saying or doing all this as a PR exercise, not from your heart.
When we become overly concerned about our appearance, our spiritual reputation, our coolness, and our acceptance, we are living as citizens of this world rather than as ambassadors.
Every person is highly individualized so if a person is seriously concerned, then they first need to get a medical evaluation and make sure there’s nothing biologically going on to prevent them from climaxing.

Budget cuts are a sad reality in most newsrooms, and I am concerned that they reduce the collective muscle of journalists who are doing the expensive, and often dangerous, work of on-the-ground reporting.
I became a vegetarian out of compassion for animals and to live as healthy as possible. I realized soon after that I was truly concerned with nonviolent consumption and my own health, a vegan diet was the best decision.
It’s good to know that the people of different countries are really concerned and involved in the movement to help Burma. I think in some ways it’s better to have the people of the world on your side than the governments of the world, even if governments can be more effective in certain directions.
Before, I was more concerned with getting on the radio, like many young artists.
I am ready to have dialogue with the concerned parties once the nation is calm and the political temperatures are lowered enough for constructive and productive engagement.
As long as there are only 3 to 4 people on the floor, the country is in good hands. It’s only when you have 50 to 60 in the Senate that you want to be concerned.

Education must be increasingly concerned about the fullest development of all children and youth, and it will be the responsibility of the schools to seek learning conditions which will enable each individual to reach the highest level of learning possible.
I just want to do the best possible job with everything that I do. But I’m far more concerned with being a good father as opposed to being a good actor because that’s what’s really going to matter.
I write about things that are important for us as Americans. I’m concerned about al-Qaeda sneaking across the border with the illegal immigrants that are using the coyotes to get across the border. And that’s not a Democrat or Republican issue, that’s a national security issue
I love the classics but there are many new ideas to be made into reality. I’d rather be concerned with my own thing. There are many masters of classical piano so I’ll leave it to them.
In any situation, it is good to be aware of even your co-workers, and if you are uncomfortable or concerned about a colleague’s behavior, report it to a supervisor.
The psychedelic issue is a civil rights and civil liberties issue. It is an issue concerned with the most basic of human freedoms: religious practice and the privacy of the individual mind.
I’ve said this over and over, but I’ll say it a million more times – I’m concerned more about the death of a bee than I am about terrorism. Because we’re losing hives and bees by the millions because of such strong pesticides.
If I am afraid to speak the truth lest I lose affection, or lest the one concerned should say, “You do not understand”, or because I fear to lose my reputation for kindness; if I put my own good name before the other’s highest good, then I know nothing of Calvary love.
As far as mental development is concerned, we should never be complacent. We can develop our minds infinitely – there is no limitation.
If you are only concerned with international issues and/or the power of some lobbies that are influencing American policy, then you are isolating yourselves. You are powerless in your mind when you don’t understand the meaning and quality of your own real power.
Smoking is, if not my life, then at least my hobby. I love to smoke. Smoking is fun. Smoking is cool. Smoking is, as far as I am concerned, the entire point of being an adult.
People differ in where they direct their empathy and their compassion. Many people are intensely concerned about the suffering of non-human animals, and some do not care at all. There are cultural differences.
You will become way less concerned with what other people think of you when you realize how seldom they do.
As far as the customer is concerned, the interface is the product.
So far as discipline is concerned, freedom means not its absence but the use of higher and more rational forms as contrasted with those that are lower or less rational.
I have been called a nun with a switchblade where my privacy is concerned. I think there’s a point where one says, that’s for family, that’s for me.
While we worry about how fast we grow, God is concerned about how strong we grow.
I think the United States and the secretary of State should be concerned about the poverty in this country – people without health insurance. The United States should stop being the empire and be concerned about other countries. You’ve got to be more worried about your own people.
I think that it’s hard for vain people to be funny. I think you can look any way you want as long as you have a good sense of humor about yourself. People who are concerned with their looks and what they’re wearing and how they present themselves tend to have less of a sense of humor about themselves.
There’s no division on my bookshelf between fiction and nonfiction. As far as I’m concerned, fiction is about the truth.
They were concerned about the racial issue. They thought it was not a safe issue to go Asian, unfortunately.
Big business increasingly likes to portray itself as socially concerned, adopting the style of civic action through ‘campaigns’ of varying degrees of cynicism.
What works for me is that I read widely and stay focused on my writing. I’m no longer concerned about what happens in the literary marketplace. It is distracting and can lead to discontent.

I primarily have had my career in comedy, and that is something that I have never been too concerned about because I know there is really no room for vanity in comedy. Comedy comes from pain and it is a lot easier to empathize with somebody who is out of shape.
I fear we are too much concerned with material things to remember that our real strength lies in spiritual values.
I don’t remember who wins awards [Oscars]. I’ve won a few but what I really remember are movies. I love films, so I’m not concerned about speculation about winning things because I really enjoy being in films that last longer than an opening weekend. That’s my goal in life.
Strategy is the art of making use of time and space. I am less concerned about the later than the former. Space we can recover, lost time never.
America was not interventionist enough, which, of course, did mean a bit of a breach with old comrades on the left. I felt the international left in the countries concerned took the same position as I did. So, in my view, it’s the left that’s become reactionary and isolationist and parochial.
How much atonement is enough? The bombing must be allowed as at least part-payment: those of our young people who are concerned about the moral problem posed by the Allied air offensive should at least consider the moral problem that would have been posed if the German civilian population had not suffered at all.
Any religion that professes to be concerned about the souls of men and is not concerned about the slums that damn them, the economic conditions that strangle them and the social conditions that cripple them is a spiritually moribund religion awaiting burial.
I think the biggest difference is that I’ve noticed Western parents seem much more concerned about their children’s psyches, their self-esteem, whereas tough immigrant parents assume strength rather than fragility in their children and therefore behave completely differently.
As far as extra dimensions are concerned, very tiny extra dimensions wouldn’t be perceived in everyday life, just as atoms aren’t: we see many atoms together but we don’t see atoms individually.
As far as the filmmaking process is concerned, stars are essentially worthless – and absolutely essential.
She kept asking herself whether, if he had looked cleaner, she might have been more concerned; whether, on some subliminal level, she had confused his obvious signs of neglect with street-smartness, toughness and resilience.
