There are many things which swallow up men's thoughts while they live, which they will think little of when they are dying. Hundreds are wholly absorbed in political schemes and seem to care for nothing but the advancement of their own party. Myriads are buried in business and money matters and seem to neglect everything else but this world.

English Clergyman

Kristin Armstrong

Running fills the cup that has to pour out for others. Running feeds the soul that has a responsibility to nourish. Running sets the anchor that limits the drift of the day. Running clears the mind that has a myriad of challenges to solve. Running tends to the self so that selfishness can subside.

Paul Bloom

More-radical scholars insist that an inherent clash exists between science and our long-held conceptions about consciousness and moral agency: if you accept that our brains are a myriad of smaller components, you must reject such notions as character, praise, blame, and free will.

Canadian Psychologist

Zig Ziglar

All one needs to do is read - books, magazines, research the Internet - and pay attention to the influencers in their lives to discover the myriad people of strong moral character who have and still are making positive, meaningful contributions and differences in our world.

American Author

Hasan Minhaj

A lot of times in life, it's personal choices that you're making, actively, and then there's a myriad of forces and circumstances that are out of our control. And without even realizing it, you're riding a wave of events that you have no control of.

What I try to do is defy expectations in terms of boundaries, whether it is high or low art, pop culture, or fine-art culture. My work is about reconciling myriad cultural influences and bringing them into one picture.

A father who is distracted for a few minutes by his myriad interests and obligations in the world of adult interactions is being, well, a father. A mother who does the same is failing her children.

American Writer

Lord Byron

Why I came here, I know not; where I shall go it is useless to inquire - in the midst of myriads of the living and the dead worlds, stars, systems, infinity, why should I be anxious about an atom?

British Poet

Joanne Harris

When I write, I'm constantly putting myself in the position of someone else as I write using myriad voices; I think that's a life skill all people should learn.

British Author

Jeanne Moreau

I don't like going where I've already been. Life is a myriad of territories to discover. I don't want to waste time with what I already know.

Myriad as a noun doesn't always mean a specific number, but rather a large, indefinite quantity.

Not Always Literal

When used as a noun, 'myriad' is often followed by 'of' to introduce what there is a lot of.

With 'of' Usage

Use 'myriad' for both tangible and intangible concepts, like thoughts, feelings, or items.

Abstract Concepts

As an adjective, 'myriad' describes something with a huge, often uncountable quantity.

Adjective Flexibility

'Myriad' used as an adjective comes directly before the noun it describes, without 'of'.

Before Nouns

Don't use 'myriad' to express a specific number; it speaks to an overwhelming amount.

Omits Quantity
