Sometimes too much to drink is barely enough.

I travel without barely any luggage. Just a second set of underwear and binoculars and a map and a toothbrush.

I was 20 years old working as a roofer and a telemarketer and driving a taxi just barely getting by. A friend of a friend suggested I try acting. I was like 'Why? What am I going to do? Community theater?' But I took a class and the teacher thought that I had potential so I moved to Vancouver and started auditioning.

I was attending the University of Alberta. I was going to be a high school teacher like my parents. I failed - no I didn't fail a class I just barely passed. I really didn't try. It was Canadian history through the plays of the time. My God those were boring plays.

I kind of fell backwards into acting. I was studying to be a high school teacher. I look now and I understand completely or actually barely how much work it is to be a teacher. It's an incredible amount of work.

Since I can barely write two books a year the best solution seems to be co-author projects. My goal isn't to get another writer to clone me... it's more to produce a book that shares my vision of positive fun entertainment.

I barely have time for my own children. To adopt more children and not have time for them that would be poor parenting on my part.

I don't know why I don't watch a lot of movies I can barely keep up with the things my friends are in. There isn't enough time in life.

How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know.

I just read an 800-page history of the Scottish Enlightenment and honestly I may as well just start it again now because I cannot remember a single thing. I can barely remember where Scotland is.

We were born to die and we die to live. As seedlings of God we barely blossom on earth we fully flower in heaven.

All God's children are not beautiful. Most of God's children are in fact barely presentable.

Billy is a funny cheeky lovely boy and I love being with him. Parenthood is terrifying though. I can barely walk past a building without panicking that it's going to collapse on his head.

When I'm writing my neural pathways get blocked. I can't read. I can barely hold a conversation without forgetting words and names. I wish I could wear the same clothes and eat the same food each day.

I like eating out. I like buying beautiful paintings and being surrounded by beautiful things. I have to finance that life. I can barely afford a pension scheme because I don't make enough money.

Thirteen thousand dollars a year is not enough to raise a family. That's not enough to pay your bills and save for their future. That's barely enough to provide for even the most basic needs.

My grandfather could barely read. My grandmother had a sixth-grade education. They were people who were industrious. They were frugal.

For four to six months at a time I would barely eat. I lived on a diet of Melba toast carrots and black coffee.

Gee I am a complete Luddite when it comes to computers I can barely log on!

Sometimes when we are generous in small barely detectable ways it can change someone else's life forever.

From year to year environmental changes are incremental and often barely register in our lives but from evolutionary or geological perspectives what is happening is explosive change.

A leader is best when people barely know he exists when his work is done his aim fulfilled they will say: we did it ourselves.

I can barely conceive of a type of beauty in which there is no Melancholy.

It's amazing when you're playing to a crowd who barely understands English but they're singing parts of your song back to you.

First let me report that the art in the Barnes Collection has never looked better. My trips to the old Barnes were always amazing but except on the sunniest days you could barely see the art. The building always felt pushed beyond its capacity.

I can barely remember what I wrote yesterday let alone 10 years ago.
