Either all lights are turned off or one inner light is missing. – Dejan StojanovicRate it:
Life is like a puzzle, sometimes you have to take a step back, look at it and see if you are missing any pieces. – Amanda MaddenRate it:
Life resembles a ten-thousand-piece puzzle; you can comprehend the view when missing a few pieces; but the image becomes distorted when several are forfeited or squandered. – RJ Intindola – (Gandolfo)Rate it:
Some of what we do, you could call adaptive music making, the folks who are missing limbs or have damaged hands and arms sometimes require specialized instruments, which we provide. – Arthur BloomRate it:
Sometimes, when one person is missing, the whole world seems depopulated. – Alphonse de LamartineRate it:
The old saying "Practice makes perfect" is wrong. If i.e. you practice throwing darts, and you throw 100 times, and you miss every time, then what have you practiced? You have actually practiced to miss the target. But when you try many more times, then you are actually getting worse in missing the target, and you start to hit the target more and more times. You are getting worse missing the target, and therefore better in what you actually want. So keep on trying, as everything in life, and you will make lesser mistakes than before. Not because you are getting better, but getting worse in doing bad. Making mistakes is good in development of everything. – Severin MeilandRate it:
We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean. But if that drop was not in the ocean, I think the ocean would be less because of that missing drop. I do not agree with the big way of doing things. – Mother TeresaRate it:

What war has always been is a puberty ceremony. It's a very rough one, but you went away a boy and came back a man, maybe with an eye missing or whatever but godammit you were a man and people had to call you a man thereafter. – Kurt VonnegutRate it:
There are two main reasons that caused mainstream economists and financial media to miss the financial crisis of 2008. The first is the NIH (Not Invented Here) bias, which is an organizational phenomenon manifested as an unwillingness to adopt an idea because it originates from unknown outsiders. It is a form of social cognition bias that leads to errors in group judgments such as missing on new opportunities or risks. The second reason is a cognition bias known as the Confirmation Bias which is the tendency to search for, filter in, or interpret information in a way that confirms existing preconceptions. The Confirmation Bias is recognized as an individual cognition bias, but when met with (NIH) bias it appears to develop into a social bias very similar to the Groupthink syndrome. – Med JonesRate it:
My Broken Pieces A few weeks back, a longtime friend asked if I would meet her for lunch to discuss a new job offer. We sat in the restaurant for forty-five minutes discussing her new job opportunity when her face grew solemn. She sighed, staring down into her plate. I asked, “is everything all right,” knowing she did not ask me to meet to discuss a job offer. She said, “everything is fine, but I cannot get your story or quote about the broken pieces out of my mind.” She took a deep breath raised her head and, in half whisper, said, “it really described the broken pieces in my marriage? I answered, “when promises, borders and commitment are broken, and especially betrayal, the relationship may be repaired but never return to what it once was or could have been.” Before she left, she thanked me for giving her a copy. I refer to the story, as “The Broken Vase.” The Broken Vase Love and marriage are often broken by betrayal, lies and unkept promises. Betrayal is the ultimate form of deceit and deception. It reminded me of something I wrote many years ago about a vase that was knocked off the shelf and broken into many pieces. For a moment you’re not sure what to do but then you decide to try and repair it. Imagine trying to pick up the pieces of your life, left behind in the wake of betrayal. You must be methodical and cautious because your path is covered with egg shells. You realize it may not be the same as it once was, but would vase be good enough to keep. After all, you’ve had it for thirty years. When you believe all the pieces have been collected and placed on the table, you do one last search for the smallest pieces you may have missed. You find two small pieces, place them on the table and stare down at the broken pieces of something you cherished and was beautiful. Something so precious you often proudly displayed it to friends Over a period of three weeks, you managed to glue the vase back together. You slowly turn it around on the table and realize it is an archaic reproduction of its original form. There are holes in it created by pieces you did not find and never will. Like the pieces missing from your relationship. Held together by history and commitment but still broken. And severely damaged. The vase will never hold flowers again because it cannot hold water. And like your relationship, it has become fragile as you watch a piece fall off the vase when you lifted off the table. And when you think about the broken pieces collected from your relationship, you know that will also never be the same. As you held up the beautiful vase to show people it’s beauty, that now is simply a collection of glued pieces that resembles your relationship. You can no longer showcase your marriage. Only because of its history you place the vase back on the self, but it seems out of place and detracts from the ambience around it. After a few weeks you take the vase to your home office and place it on a shelf. A few weeks later, you sadly change the location to the closet. And like your relationship it has been moved to a different place. A dark place. When people say to you, you and your wife seem to get along very well. You think about showing them the vase. All that remains of the relationship is held together by glue. After several years you are still seeking out the missing pieces from your heart knowing deep inside you will never find. There’s only one way to get them back and that is to leave. But leaving will also mean breaking more pieces. Those are your two choices. If you leave, you will get back some of the pieces you lost but you would lose others by virtue of leaving. – RJ IntindolaRate it:
The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make us wonder at the possibility that there may be something to them -which- we are missing. – Gamal Abdel NasserRate it:
Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen. – Peggy NoonanRate it:
Either I've been missing something or nothing has been going on. – Karen Elizabeth GordonRate it:
In heaven all the interesting people are missing. – Friedrich NietzscheRate it:
Usability is like oxygen -- you never notice it until it is missing... – UnknownRate it:
COFFEE.EXE missing. Insert cup and press any key. – AnonymousRate it:
$177 billion is a big pay cheque that the world is missing out on - about half a percentage point of GDP of these countries, we have to stop wasting the world's most precious economic and social asset and ensure children thrive. – Peter SingerRate it:
(I'm) tentative, a little bit scared to play certain shots, because I feel like I can't at the minute. So, hitting away from flags, trying to make sure that I am missing it in the right areas. Just playing quite conservatively, which is very much unlike me, i have just got to get back at it tomorrow and try to figure out what I need to do. – Rory McIlroyRate it:

A decision to suspend searching without finding survivors is extremely difficult given the depth of its impact and I know I speak for the entire Coast Guard when I say our thoughts and prayers are with Marine Corps helicopter squadron and particularly with families and loved ones of those missing. – Captain Jim JenkinsRate it:
