10 QUOTES WITH «FORWARDS»

Famous quotes and sentences with the word forwards.
1
Nina Bawden
I hope in my books I help children to see their strengths, and show them I have some idea of what they may occasionally be going through. Especially at tricky moments when it is easier to go back and evade things rather than go forwards and confront them.
2
Jeremy Bulloch
Other projects later this year, but I think it's going to be a very very busy year this year with Star Wars and the re-release, so I'm sort of running about going backwards and forwards to America, Japan, Mexico. So there will be a lot of things to do.
3
Landon Donovan
Fortunately for me, it's my most favorite drill, and that is finishing. However, from a young age, soccer players in this country are not taught how to properly finish, and I think you see that through the professional ranks, that we don't have that killer instinct of the forwards from other countries.
4
Soren Kierkegaard
Life can only be understood backwards; but it must be lived forwards.
5
Tiffeny Milbrett
You can't ask every player to do the same thing. That's why we have amazing midfielders, defenders, forwards and keepers. You can't ask them to be of the same mold.
6
David Mitchell
As long as our civilisation keeps trundling along generally forwards, then there is the possibility of a future where ethnicity is merely an interesting badge, not a uniform you can't take off.
7
Jeremy Paxman
I've always thought you have to live life looking forwards, not backwards. I've had no interest at all in who my ancestors are.
8
Jonah Peretti
People used to share things with e-mail on a massive scale. If you remember e-mail forwards from the late '90s, it was a terrible way to share content.
9
Eric Roth
Ultimately it doesn't matter whether you go forwards or backwards: you need to live your life as well as you can.
10
David Soul
Sometimes I feel an obligation to be accessible as a personality, but for me the driving force since the beginning has always been good work, taking risks, trying new things. If the door opens, go through it. Always go forwards.
