We still have a tradition certainly in English television; it's faded a bit in the last five years, but we still have a tradition where the important thing is the quality and the challenging nature of the programming.
— Rowan Atkinson
There are times when you sit down, and you're just like, 'Man, I don't know if I can do it right now.' Take a second - go to the woods and just hang out, or go to Yosemite and check it out. Be in nature for a little while; clock out - which is super healthy, especially for creative types. Honestly, for everyone. Everyone needs that at times.
— Ross Lynch

— Ron Perlman
Close elections tend to break toward the challenger because undecided voters - having held out so long against the incumbent - are by nature looking for change.
— Ron Fournier
We have reached a milestone in our understanding of nature. The discovery of a particle consistent with the Higgs boson opens the way to more detailed studies, requiring larger statistics, which will pin down the new particle's properties, and is likely to shed light on other mysteries of our universe.
— Rolf-Dieter Heuer
I do admire great essayists. I'm a particular fan of good nature writing. People like Robert Finch. I read great quantities of writing by naturalists. I've been studying the genre for years.
— Roger Zelazny
Birds have wings; they're free; they can fly where they want when they want. They have the kind of mobility many people envy.
— Roger Tory Peterson
I think that, on the whole, risk-taking entrepreneurial characters regard nature as a sort of background that we can use for our own advantage.
— Roger Scruton
Some people walk in the rain, others just get wet.
— Roger Miller

— Rodney Frelinghuysen
I'm shrewd about money; I invest well and look after it. But it's in my nature to be generous. I look after people.
— Rod Stewart
Cruelty is a part of nature, at least of human nature, but it is the one thing that seems unnatural to us.
— Robinson Jeffers

— Roy Bean
Some people are by nature slaves and will always be so.
— Rousas John Rushdoony

— Ross Douthat
Birds sing after a storm; why shouldn't people feel as free to delight in whatever sunlight remains to them?
— Rose Kennedy
Yes, just by the nature of the colour of my skin, I was born with privilege. And it is unfair.
— Rosanna Arquette
Business requires understanding financial matters, but management is different from running the financial aspects of the business - it requires understanding complex systems, how they operate, the nature of organisations, what happens when people interact in groups and how to motivate and guide people.
— Rosabeth Moss Kanter
If you look at the common denominator of all the comics who have had big success, it's being true to their nature... that's what takes a long time to learn.
— Ron White
Unlike the twisters he famously chased in the movies, Bill Paxton was the kind of force of nature you ran toward and never away from.
— Ron Howard
So here comes this black guy from the Bay Area talking about peace, feminism, challenging racism, challenging the priorities of the country, and talking about preserving the fragile nature of our ecological system. People looked at me as if I was a freak.
— Ron Dellums
To eat steak rare... represents both a nature and a morality.
— Roland Barthes
At Case Western Reserve University in Cleveland, I started taking psychology courses. I was interested in the nature of the human mind, the structure itself, pathologies with which it is afflicted. I really intended to be a writer all along, but I needed to take a subject that I could make a living at, either teaching it or doing it.
If, as many people believe, there is a God, and that God made us in his own image, then of course we are distinct from nature, just as He is.
If you say something in advance - if you describe a problem as it arises, people always turn on you because they don't want to hear about it. But when it's too late to do anything, they will then turn around and say that you were right. That's human nature.
The nature of our two main political parties has changed in the United States.
— Roger Mahony
I always say, 'Let your experiment speak to you.' What I mean by that is I - actually, we, or, at least, I'm not smart enough, actually, to guess how nature is working, but by looking and doing the right experiments and paying close attention to the subtleties of it, you start to catch on.
— Roderick MacKinnon
Hollywood is enamored of the 20- to 30-year-old actress, but by the very nature of the life experience of the character, the roles cannot be that rich. You can only have Angelina Jolie in a mental hospital so many times.
— Rod Lurie
It's just never been in my nature to go out there and go on a red carpet to say, 'Oh, publicize me!'
— Robin Wright
And Fall, with her yeller harvest moon and the hills growin' brown and golden under a sinkin' sun.
The urge to dominion is God-given and is basic to the nature of man. An aspect of this dominion is property.
Exposing children to nature, especially at an early age, keeps them grounded.
— Roshni Nadar
The average human being spends three years of life going to the toilet, though the average human being with no physical toilet to go to probably does his or her best to spend less. It is a human behavior that is as revealing as any other about human nature, but only if it can be released from the social straitjacket of nicety.
— Rose George
Nothing can teach you what it's like to work on a film set, and the best education there can be for an actor is to walk up the street and observe human nature.
— Rosamund Pike
I'm a diplomat by nature. I help find the middle ground. I crack a joke and use humour to help resolve potentially vicious situations quickly. It gets things in perspective and helps everyone to see that things aren't as bad as they seem.
— Ronnie Wood
Racism is a part of human nature, and you're not going to eradicate it; all you can do is try to keep it in check.
— Ron Stallworth
I think it's in our nature to try to get beyond that next horizon. I think that when we, as a species, are scratching that itch, we're actually following an evolutionary compulsion that is wired into us. I think good things come of it.
No one wants to be picked at. At the end of the day, we're all human beings with feelings and emotions. Nobody wants to be critiqued and picked apart, but it's the nature of the business. It comes with the territory. For me, if they're not talking about you, that's where you can run into some trouble.
— Roman Reigns
By nature, I am a low-key person and like being behind the camera.
— Rohit Shetty
I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along, the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them.
Look at what left-wing movements were like in the 19th century - they were all about progress, the engineering of the world, the reshaping of nature, and so on. It's only postwar, really, that people on the left have come to see the environment as a critical issue.
In the book, I make the point that here we have string theory and here we have twistor theory and we don't know if either one of them is the right approach to nature.
— Roger Penrose
If you've got a big star like O'Reilly, it does overshadow what the hard-news guys do during the day. That's the nature of television.
— Roger Ailes
In Princess Margaret I found a fine friend who could steady my restless nature and offer wise counsel.
— Roddy Llewellyn
Talking up a storm about food is so easy for me, it's second nature.
— Rocco DiSpirito
