Victor Hugo

Anything I've ever said, I certainly was feeling at the time.

Eminem

I was looking for something a lot heavier, yet melodic at the same time. Something different from heavy metal, a different attitude.

Kurt Cobain

Success is simple. Do what's right, the right way, at the right time.

Arnold H. Glasow

As societies grow decadent, the language grows decadent, too. Words are used to disguise, not to illuminate, action: you liberate a city by destroying it. Words are to confuse, so that at election time people will solemnly vote against their own interests.

Gore Vidal

Well, I'm working all the time to stay out of trouble!

Eminem

There may be times when we are powerless to prevent injustice, but there must never be a time when we fail to protest.

The time I burned my guitar it was like a sacrifice. You sacrifice the things you love. I love my guitar.

Jimi Hendrix

People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.

Stephen Hawking

For years my wedding ring has done its job. It has led me not into temptation. It has reminded my husband numerous times at parties that it's time to go home. It has been a source of relief to a dinner companion. It has been a status symbol in the maternity ward.

Erma Bombeck

I try to treat all the money I'm making like it's the last time I'm going to make it.

Eminem

As you become more clear about who you really are, you'll be better able to decide what is best for you - the first time around.

Oprah Winfrey

It is paradoxical that many educators and parents still differentiate between a time for learning and a time for play without seeing the vital connection between them.

Henry David Thoreau

We didn't lose the game we just ran out of time.

Vince Lombardi

Don't limit a child to your own learning, for he was born in another time.

Rabindranath Tagore

I would like to be remembered as a man who had a wonderful time living life, a man who had good friends, fine family - and I don't think I could ask for anything more than that, actually.

Frank Sinatra

I think people should be allowed to do anything they want. We haven't tried that for a while. Maybe this time it'll work.

George Carlin

I'm sorry, man, but I've got magic. I've got poetry in my fingertips. Most of the time - and this includes naps - I'm an F-18, bro. And I will destroy you in the air. I will deploy my ordinance to the ground.

Charlie Sheen

Death is caused by swallowing small amounts of saliva over a long period of time.

George Carlin

Waste no more time arguing about what a good man should be. Be one.

Charles M. Schulz

Let the refining and improving of your own life keep you so busy that you have little time to criticize others.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

I like refried beans. That's why I wanna try fried beans, because maybe they're just as good and we're just wasting time. You don't have to fry them again after all.

Mitch Hedberg

Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

Frank Zappa

Once you have mastered time, you will understand how true it is that most people overestimate what they can accomplish in a year - and underestimate what they can achieve in a decade!

Tony Robbins

Know the true value of time snatch, seize, and enjoy every moment of it. No idleness, no laziness, no procrastination: never put off till tomorrow what you can do today.

Lord Chesterfield

Just in terms of allocation of time resources, religion is not very efficient. There's a lot more I could be doing on a Sunday morning.

Bill Gates

Never permit a dichotomy to rule your life, a dichotomy in which you hate what you do so you can have pleasure in your spare time. Look for a situation in which your work will give you as much happiness as your spare time.

Pablo Picasso

The time to take counsel of your fears is before you make an important battle decision. That's the time to listen to every fear you can imagine! When you have collected all the facts and fears and made your decision, turn off all your fears and go ahead!

George S. Patton

It takes a long time to grow an old friend.

Henry Ford

The man who writes about himself and his own time is the only man who writes about all people and about all time.

George Bernard Shaw

A veteran journalist has never had time to think twice before he writes.

George Bernard Shaw

Sometimes being a friend means mastering the art of timing. There is a time for silence. A time to let go and allow people to hurl themselves into their own destiny. And a time to prepare to pick up the pieces when it's all over.

Octavia Butler

I'm dealing with fools and trolls and soft targets. It's just strafing runs in my underwear before my first cup of coffee. I don't have time for these clowns.

Charlie Sheen

Make measurable progress in reasonable time.

Jim Rohn

In order to succeed you must fail, so that you know what not to do the next time.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

Most people spend more time and energy going around problems than in trying to solve them.

Henry Ford

Nothing separates the generations more than music. By the time a child is eight or nine, he has developed a passion for his own music that is even stronger than his passions for procrastination and weird clothes.

Bill Cosby

How many a man has thrown up his hands at a time when a little more effort, a little more patience would have achieved success.

Elbert Hubbard

There is a vitality, a life force, an energy, a quickening, that is translated through you into action, and because there is only one of you in all time, this expression is unique.

Martha Graham

It's only when we truly know and understand that we have a limited time on earth - and that we have no way of knowing when our time is up, we will then begin to live each day to the fullest, as if it was the only one we had.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

When friends asked me, Can we help? I'd say, Not unless you can alter time, speed up the harvest or teleport me off this rock. I used that line from Star Wars.

Charlie Sheen

I'm sorry, it's true. Having children really changes your view on these things. We're born, we live for a brief instant, and we die. It's been happening for a long time. Technology is not changing it much - if at all.

Steve Jobs

Nine-tenths of wisdom is being wise in time.

Theodore Roosevelt

I am confident that nobody... will accuse me of selfishness if I ask to spend time, while I am still in good health, with my family, my friends and also with myself.

Nelson Mandela

People always fear change. People feared electricity when it was invented, didn't they? People feared coal, they feared gas-powered engines... There will always be ignorance, and ignorance leads to fear. But with time, people will come to accept their silicon masters.

Bill Gates

You don't have to be singing about love all the time in order to give love to the people. You don't have to keep flashing those words all the time.

Jimi Hendrix

It is possible to become discouraged about the injustice we see everywhere. But God did not promise us that the world would be humane and just. He gives us the gift of life and allows us to choose the way we will use our limited time on earth. It is an awesome opportunity.

Cesar Chavez

All women have a perception much more developed than men. So all women somehow, being repressed for so many millennia, they ended up by developing this sixth sense and contemplation and love. And this is something that we have a hard time to accept as part of our society.

Paulo Coelho

I believe in a religion that believes in freedom. Any time I have to accept a religion that won't let me fight a battle for my people, I say to hell with that religion.

Mickey Mouse popped out of my mind onto a drawing pad 20 years ago on a train ride from Manhattan to Hollywood at a time when business fortunes of my brother Roy and myself were at lowest ebb and disaster seemed right around the corner.

Walt Disney

My restaurants are never opened on Thanksgiving I want my staff to spend time with their family if they can. My feeling is, if I can't figure out how to make money the rest of the year so that my workers can enjoy the holidays, then I don't deserve to be an owner.

Michael Symon

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs. Every time you conquer one it makes you that much stronger. If you do the little jobs well, the big ones will tend to take care of themselves.

Dale Carnegie

Honesty is the cruelest game of all, because not only can you hurt someone - and hurt them to the bone - you can feel self-righteous about it at the same time.

Dave Van Ronk

The two most powerful warriors are patience and time.

Leo Tolstoy

The only time people dislike gossip is when you gossip about them.

Will Rogers

Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.

Wayne Dyer

I think what drove me insane for a long time is feeling like I hadn't earned most of what I achieved because it came so fast.

Charlie Sheen

I guess the real reason that my wife and I had children is the same reason that Napoleon had for invading Russia: it seemed like a good idea at the time.

Auguste Rodin

Any time you got nothing to do - and lots of time to do it - come on up.

H. Jackson Brown, Jr.

To insure the adoration of a theorem for any length of time, faith is not enough, a police force is needed as well.

Albert Camus

The time to save is now. When a dog gets a bone, he doesn't go out and make a down payment on a bigger bone. He buries the one he's got.

Will Rogers

If there is not the war, you don't get the great general if there is not a great occasion, you don't get a great statesman if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name.

Theodore Roosevelt

I was trying to do too many things at the same time, which is my nature. But I was enjoying it, and I still do enjoy it.

Jimi Hendrix

The senses deceive from time to time, and it is prudent never to trust wholly those who have deceived us even once.

Rene Descartes

The first thing which I can record concerning myself is, that I was born. These are wonderful words. This life, to which neither time nor eternity can bring diminution - this everlasting living soul, began. My mind loses itself in these depths.

Groucho Marx

The butterfly counts not months but moments, and has time enough.

Rabindranath Tagore

Healing is a matter of time, but it is sometimes also a matter of opportunity.

Hippocrates

Half our life is spent trying to find something to do with the time we have rushed through life trying to save.

Will Rogers

Complainers change their complaints, but they never reduce the amount of time spent in complaining.

Mason Cooley

The time you spend alone with God will transform your character and increase your devotion. Then your integrity and godly behavior in an unbelieving world will make others long to know the Lord.

Charles Stanley

Do not say, 'It is morning,' and dismiss it with a name of yesterday. See it for the first time as a newborn child that has no name.

Rabindranath Tagore

His talent was as natural as the pattern that was made by the dust on a butterfly's wings. At one time he understood it no more than the butterfly did and he did not know when it was brushed or marred.

Ernest Hemingway

I made a mistake by being ejected from the presidency. Next time, I will choose a Cabinet which will allow me to be life President.

Nelson Mandela

I really wanted to retire and rest and spend more time with my children, my grandchildren and of course with my wife.

Nelson Mandela

I take a very practical view of raising children. I put a sign in each of their rooms: 'Checkout Time is 18 years.'

Erma Bombeck

You cannot run away from weakness you must some time fight it out or perish and if that be so, why not now, and where you stand?

Robert Louis Stevenson

We are so obsessed with doing that we have no time and no imagination left for being. As a result, men are valued not for what they are but for what they do or what they have - for their usefulness.

Thomas Merton

Time is a sort of river of passing events, and strong is its current no sooner is a thing brought to sight than it is swept by and another takes its place, and this too will be swept away.

Marcus Aurelius

Many people take no care of their money till they come nearly to the end of it, and others do just the same with their time.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

The future rewards those who press on. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I'm going to press on.

Barack Obama

You hear a lot about God these days: God, the beneficent God, the all-great God, the Almighty God, the most powerful God, the giver of life God, the creator of death. I mean, we're hearing about God all the time, so we better learn how to deal with it. But if we know anything about God, God is arbitrary.

Bob Dylan

I feel very deeply about the need to respect and tolerate people of different social - or sexual orientation. But at the same time, I believe marriage should be preserved as an institution for one man and one woman.

Mitt Romney

If you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

The only time I ever enjoyed ironing was the day I accidentally got gin in the steam iron.

Phyllis Diller

Next time I see you, remind me not to talk to you.

Groucho Marx

I cannot understand how the education of this United States of America has been fooled time and time again. Either make it separate but equal or integrate, therefore it will be equal. And it has been separate and unequal.

Bill Cosby

Before I went to jail, I was active in politics as a member of South Africa's leading organization - and I was generally busy from 7 A.M. until midnight. I never had time to sit and think.

Nelson Mandela

I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.

Anais Nin

The first time that I performed as an actor was the first day on the set of 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air.'

Will Smith

In this business, by the time you realize you're in trouble, it's too late to save yourself. Unless you're running scared all the time, you're gone.

Bill Gates

I believe in using words, not fists. I believe in my outrage knowing people are living in boxes on the street. I believe in honesty. I believe in a good time. I believe in good food. I believe in sex.

Bertrand Russell

All my life I've looked at words as though I were seeing them for the first time.

Ernest Hemingway

No man ever achieved worth-while success who did not, at one time or other, find himself with at least one foot hanging well over the brink of failure.

Napoleon Hill

With patient and firm determination, I am going to press on for jobs. I'm going to press on for equality. I'm going to press on for the sake of our children. I'm going to press on for the sake of all those families who are struggling right now. I don't have time to feel sorry for myself. I don't have time to complain. I am going to press on.

Barack Obama

As long as we are persistence in our pursuit of our deepest destiny, we will continue to grow. We cannot choose the day or time when we will fully bloom. It happens in its own time.

Denis Waitley

No man goes before his time - unless the boss leaves early.

Groucho Marx

I didn't really want to live, so anything that was an investment in time made me angry... but also I just felt sad. When the hopelessness is hurting you, it's the fixtures and fittings that finish you off.

Angelina Jolie

To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.

Charlie Chaplin

For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I'm human and I'm normal - well, semi-normal.

Only the guy who isn't rowing has time to rock the boat.

Jean-Paul Sartre

Really big people are, above everything else, courteous, considerate and generous - not just to some people in some circumstances - but to everyone all the time.

Thomas J. Watson

For death is no more than a turning of us over from time to eternity.

William Penn

My father probably thought the capital of the world was wherever he was at the time. It couldn't possibly be anyplace else. Where he and his wife were in their own home, that, for them, was the capital of the world.

Bob Dylan

The next time you have a thought... let it go.

Ron White

Every cliche about kids is true they grow up so quickly, you blink and they're gone, and you have to spend the time with them now. But that's a joy.

Liam Neeson

We cast away priceless time in dreams, born of imagination, fed upon illusion, and put to death by reality.

Judy Garland

No matter how busy you are, you must take time to make the other person feel important.

Mary Kay Ash

Every time I go and shave, I assume there's someone else on the planet shaving. So I say, 'I'm gonna go shave, too.'

Mitch Hedberg

When a place gets crowded enough to require ID's, social collapse is not far away. It is time to go elsewhere. The best thing about space travel is that it made it possible to go elsewhere.

Robert A. Heinlein

A wise man will make haste to forgive, because he knows the true value of time, and will not suffer it to pass away in unnecessary pain.

Samuel Johnson

Ernest Hemingway

Civilization began the first time an angry person cast a word instead of a rock.

Sigmund Freud

Time and money spent in helping men to do more for themselves is far better than mere giving.

Henry Ford

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

Viktor E. Frankl

Part of the reason that our politics seems so tough right now and facts and science and argument does not seem to be winning the day all the time is because we're hardwired not to always think clearly when we're scared. And the country's scared.

Barack Obama

Equality, rightly understood as our founding fathers understood it, leads to liberty and to the emancipation of creative differences wrongly understood, as it has been so tragically in our time, it leads first to conformity and then to despotism.

Barry Goldwater

There was a time in my life when I thought I had everything - millions of dollars, mansions, cars, nice clothes, beautiful women, and every other materialistic thing you can imagine. Now I struggle for peace.

Richard Pryor

In America everybody is of the opinion that he has no social superiors, since all men are equal, but he does not admit that he has no social inferiors, for, from the time of Jefferson onward, the doctrine that all men are equal applies only upwards, not downwards.

Bertrand Russell

We've protected thousands of people in Libya we have not seen a single U.S. casualty there's no risks of additional escalation. This operation is limited in time and in scope.

Barack Obama

We always live in an uncertain world. What is certain is that the United States will go forward over time.

Warren Buffett

We need to internalize this idea of excellence. Not many folks spend a lot of time trying to be excellent.

Barack Obama

It has been my observation that most people get ahead during the time that others waste.

Henry Ford

Immorality: the morality of those who are having a better time.

H. L. Mencken

For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country. And not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change. And I have been desperate to see our country moving in that direction.

Michelle Obama

Then not only an old man, but also a drunkard, becomes a second time a child.

Plato

The nose of a mob is its imagination. By this, at any time, it can be quietly led.

Edgar Allan Poe

If only we'd stop trying to be happy we'd have a pretty good time.

Edith Wharton

In Hollywood you can see things at night that are fast enough to be in the Olympics in the day time.

Will Rogers

Rest is not idleness, and to lie sometimes on the grass under trees on a summer's day, listening to the murmur of the water, or watching the clouds float across the sky, is by no means a waste of time.

John Lubbock

Y'know, you can't please all the people all the time... and last night, all those people were at my show.

Mitch Hedberg

Ezra was right half the time, and when he was wrong, he was so wrong you were never in any doubt about it.

Ernest Hemingway

Women in particular need to keep an eye on their physical and mental health, because if we're scurrying to and from appointments and errands, we don't have a lot of time to take care of ourselves. We need to do a better job of putting ourselves higher on our own 'to do' list.

Michelle Obama

There's as much crookedness as you want to find. There was something Abraham Lincoln said - he'd rather trust and be disappointed than distrust and be miserable all the time. Maybe I trusted too much.

John Wooden

For time is the longest distance between two places.

Tennessee Williams

They always say time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

Andy Warhol

I can only note that the past is beautiful because one never realises an emotion at the time. It expands later, and thus we don't have complete emotions about the present, only about the past.

Virginia Woolf

If you set out to be liked, you would be prepared to compromise on anything at any time, and you would achieve nothing.

Margaret Thatcher

A dying man needs to die, as a sleepy man needs to sleep, and there comes a time when it is wrong, as well as useless, to resist.

Stewart Alsop

You can never control who you fall in love with, even when you're in the most sad, confused time of your life. You don't fall in love with people because they're fun. It just happens.

Kirsten Dunst

Dependency is death to initiative, to risk-taking and opportunity. It's time to stop the spread of government dependency and fight it like the poison it is.

Mitt Romney

Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable.

Bill Maher

My view is that marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman. That's the position I've had for some time, and I don't intend to make any adjustments at this point... Or ever, by the way.

Mitt Romney

What I think is fair to say is that, coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not who I say I am when it comes to my faith - something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time.

Barack Obama

Each party steals so many articles of faith from the other, and the candidates spend so much time making each other's speeches, that by the time election day is past there is nothing much to do save turn the sitting rascals out and let a new gang in.

H. L. Mencken

Time and health are two precious assets that we don't recognize and appreciate until they have been depleted.

Denis Waitley

Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

Coco Chanel

How can you think and hit at the same time?

Yogi Berra

People of Berlin - people of the world - this is our moment. This is our time.

Barack Obama

We've persevered because of a belief we share with the Iraqi people - a belief that out of the ashes of war, a new beginning could be born in this cradle of civilization. Through this remarkable chapter in the history of the United States and Iraq, we have met our responsibility. Now, it's time to turn the page.

Barack Obama

We all knew this. We all knew that it would take more time than any of us want to dig ourselves out of this hole created by this economic crisis.

Barack Obama

Time, which alone makes the reputation of men, ends by making their defects respectable.

Voltaire

One-fifth of the people are against everything all the time.

Robert Kennedy

Some people think that the truth can be hidden with a little cover-up and decoration. But as time goes by, what is true is revealed, and what is fake fades away.

Ismail Haniyeh

It may be true that you can't fool all the people all the time, but you can fool enough of them to rule a large country.

Will Durant

To keep your character intact you cannot stoop to filthy acts. It makes it easier to stoop the next time.

Katharine Hepburn

I find it strange the way human nature wants heroes and yet wants to destroy their heroes. It's a kind of mass insecurity people want something to look up to and get a buzz off but, at the same time, want to destroy it because it makes them feel insecure.

Danielle Dax

He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.

Rabindranath Tagore

Onion rings in the car cushions do not improve with time.

Every time I see an adult on a bicycle, I no longer despair for the future of the human race.

H. G. Wells

I remember the time I was kidnapped and they sent a piece of my finger to my father. He said he wanted more proof.

Rodney Dangerfield

Death is a commingling of eternity with time in the death of a good man, eternity is seen looking through time.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Everything that goes up must come down. But there comes a time when not everything that's down can come up.

George Burns

I don't like food that's too carefully arranged it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I'd buy a painting.

Andy Rooney

There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.

W. C. Fields

Don't let the fear of the time it will take to accomplish something stand in the way of your doing it. The time will pass anyway we might just as well put that passing time to the best possible use.

Earl Nightingale

In this country it is a good thing to kill an admiral from time to time to encourage the others.

Voltaire

I don't feel old. I don't feel anything till noon. That's when it's time for my nap.

Bob Hope

This is a fantastic time to be entering the business world, because business is going to change more in the next 10 years than it has in the last 50.

Bill Gates

I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time.

H. L. Mencken

I put instant coffee in a microwave oven and almost went back in time.

Devote each day to the object then in time and every evening will find something done.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

Perfection is attained by slow degrees it requires the hand of time.

Voltaire

Americans are in a cycle of fear which leads to people not wanting to spend and not wanting to make investments, and that leads to more fear. We'll break out of it. It takes time.

Warren Buffett

Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

Rabindranath Tagore

There are necessary evils. Money is an important thing in terms of representing freedom in our world. And now I have a daughter to think about. It's really the first time I've thought about the future and what it could be.

Johnny Depp

I like Mitt Romney as a person. I think he's a dignified person. But I have no common ground on economics. He doesn't worry about the Federal Reserve. He doesn't worry about foreign policy. He doesn't talk about civil liberties, so I would have a hard time to expect him to ever invite me to campaign with him.

Ron Paul

Another thing that freaks me out is time. Time is like a book. You have a beginning, a middle and an end. It's just a cycle.

Mike Tyson

And I think it's that time. And I think if you just step aside and Mr. Romney can kind of take over. You can maybe still use a plane. Though maybe a smaller one. Not that big gas guzzler you are going around to colleges and talking about student loans and stuff like that.

Clint Eastwood

When my time on earth is gone, and my activities here are passed, I want they bury me upside down, and my critics can kiss my ass!

Bobby Knight

Faith is deliberate confidence in the character of God whose ways you may not understand at the time.

Oswald Chambers

There is no time for cut-and-dried monotony. There is time for work. And time for love. That leaves no other time!

Coco Chanel

Art is always and everywhere the secret confession, and at the same time the immortal movement of its time.

Karl Marx

I found golf was too time consuming, but I did enjoy it.

John Wooden

Many people die with their music still in them. Why is this so? Too often it is because they are always getting ready to live. Before they know it, time runs out.

Oliver Wendell Holmes

We have what we seek, it is there all the time, and if we give it time, it will make itself known to us.

Thomas Merton

You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.

The only time my prayers are never answered is on the golf course.

Chanakya

There is not enough time to do all the nothing we want to do.

Bill Watterson

One always has time enough, if one will apply it well.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

We always have time enough, if we will but use it aright.

Johann Wolfgang von Goethe

I rememeber one time we were getting ready to go to South America and everything was packed up and in the car ready to go and I hid and I was crying because I really did not want to go, I wanted to play. I did not want to go.

Michael Jackson

I like to spend time in the past, with the things that have been important to me.

John Wooden

Every study on crime and or firearms proves time and time again, that 99.99999% of American gun owners do not commit crimes or use our firearms in any dangerous or improper way.

Ted Nugent

I had no idea of the character. But the moment I was dressed, the clothes and the make-up made me feel the person he was. I began to know him, and by the time I walked onto the stage he was fully born.

Charlie Chaplin

It's good to experience Hollywood in short bursts, I guess. Little snippets. I don't think I can handle being here all the time, it's pretty nutty.

Johnny Depp

I spend a lot of time reading.

Bill Gates

You know, people talk about this being an uncertain time. You know, all time is uncertain. I mean, it was uncertain back in - in 2007, we just didn't know it was uncertain. It was - uncertain on September 10th, 2001. It was uncertain on October 18th, 1987, you just didn't know it.

Warren Buffett

Regret for the things we did can be tempered by time it is regret for the things we did not do that is inconsolable.

Sydney J. Harris

Well, especially now I come to realize - and then - I would do my schooling which was three hours with a tutor and right after that I would go to the recording studio and record, and I'd record for hours and hours until it's time to go to sleep.

Michael Jackson

He that will not apply new remedies must expect new evils for time is the greatest innovator.

It is past time for women to take their rightful place, side by side with men, in the rooms where the fates of peoples, where their children's and grandchildren's fates, are decided.

Hillary Clinton

Time is the friend of the wonderful company, the enemy of the mediocre.

Warren Buffett

Whether you like it or not, you're forced to come to the realisation that death is out there. But I don't fear death, I'm a fatalist. I believe when it's your time, that's it. It's the hand you're dealt.

Clint Eastwood

Knowledge comes, but wisdom lingers. It may not be difficult to store up in the mind a vast quantity of facts within a comparatively short time, but the ability to form judgments requires the severe discipline of hard work and the tempering heat of experience and maturity.

Calvin Coolidge

Truth is like the sun. You can shut it out for a time, but it ain't goin' away.

Elvis Presley

Winning is great, sure, but if you are really going to do something in life, the secret is learning how to lose. Nobody goes undefeated all the time. If you can pick up after a crushing defeat, and go on to win again, you are going to be a champion someday.

Wilma Rudolph

I never could have done what I have done without the habits of punctuality, order, and diligence, without the determination to concentrate myself on one subject at a time.

Charles Dickens

Men have a much better time of it than women. For one thing, they marry later for another thing, they die earlier.

H. L. Mencken

The greatest achievement was at first and for a time a dream. The oak sleeps in the acorn, the bird waits in the egg, and in the highest vision of the soul a waking angel stirs. Dreams are the seedlings of realities.

James Allen

Life is short and we have never too much time for gladdening the hearts of those who are travelling the dark journey with us. Oh be swift to love, make haste to be kind.

Henri Frederic Amiel

It pays to know the enemy - not least because at some time you may have the opportunity to turn him into a friend.

Margaret Thatcher

In rivers, the water that you touch is the last of what has passed and the first of that which comes so with present time.

Leonardo da Vinci

Words, words, words! They shut one off from the universe. Three quarters of the time one's never in contact with things, only with the beastly words that stand for them.

Aldous Huxley

Every time there's a revolution, it comes from somebody reading a book about revolution. David Walker wrote a book and Nat Turner did his thing.

Mike Tyson

Short as life is, we make it still shorter by the careless waste of time.

Victor Hugo

Prejudice is a great time saver. You can form opinions without having to get the facts.

E. B. White

It takes a long time to become young.

Pablo Picasso

Mr. President, you were elected to lead. You chose to follow. And now it's time for you to get out of the way.

Mitt Romney

A bad man is the sort who weeps every time he speaks of a good woman.

H. L. Mencken

Lives of great men all remind us, we can make our lives sublime, and, departing, leave behind us, footprints on the sands of time.

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow

It is time to get drunk! So as not to be the martyred slaves of Time, get drunk get drunk without stopping! On wine, on poetry, or on virtue, as you wish.

Charles Baudelaire

There is one kind of robber whom the law does not strike at, and who steals what is most precious to men: time.

Napoleon Bonaparte

I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.

Dan Millman

Our dilemma is that we hate change and love it at the same time what we really want is for things to remain the same but get better.

Sydney J. Harris

Not managing your time and making excuses are two bad habits. Don't put them both together by claiming you 'don't have the time'.

Bo Bennett

Instead of leading the world by how much we borrow, it's time that we make sure we lead the world in how much we build and create and invest.

Mitt Romney

I went to Massachusetts to make a difference. I didn't go there to begin a political career running time and time again. I made a difference. I put in place the things I wanted to do.

Mitt Romney

It's time for the party of big ideas, not the party of Big Brother!

Mitt Romney

Culture, what you believe, what you value, how you live matters. Now, as fundamental as these principles are, they may become topics of democratic debates from time to time, so it is today with the enduring institution of marriage. Marriage is a relationship between a man and a woman.

Mitt Romney

When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time one must always go forward - or go back. He who now talks about the 'freedom of the press' goes backward, and halts our headlong course towards Socialism.

Vladimir Lenin

Ten percent of the big fish still remain. There are still some blue whales. There are still some krill in Antarctica. There are a few oysters in Chesapeake Bay. Half the coral reefs are still in pretty good shape, a jeweled belt around the middle of the planet. There's still time, but not a lot, to turn things around.

Sylvia Earle

In time it will become clear to everyone that support for the policies of pre-emptive war and interventionist nation-building will have much greater significance than the removal of Saddam Hussein itself.

Ron Paul

If you stand up and be counted, from time to time you may get yourself knocked down. But remember this: A man flattened by an opponent can get up again. A man flattened by conformity stays down for good.

Thomas J. Watson

Right now I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.

Steven Wright

Take time to deliberate, but when the time for action has arrived, stop thinking and go in.

Napoleon Bonaparte

The trouble with life is that there are so many beautiful women and so little time.

John Barrymore

Many a trip continues long after movement in time and space have ceased.

John Steinbeck

I've made an odd discovery. Every time I talk to a savant I feel quite sure that happiness is no longer a possibility. Yet when I talk with my gardener, I'm convinced of the opposite.

Bertrand Russell

Everybody thinks making films back to back is a big deal but they did it all the time in the old days.

Clint Eastwood

I keep working because I learn something new all the time.

Clint Eastwood

People love westerns worldwide. There's something fantasy-like about an individual fighting the elements. Or even bad guys and the elements. It's a simpler time. There's no organized laws and stuff.

Clint Eastwood

You know, my dad served in the President's Cabinet after his time as a governor. He told me he enjoyed being governor a lot more. Now, I understand why. If I do my job well, I can make a difference in people's lives and I can help our children realize their dreams.

Mitt Romney

The Cuban people still live in constant fear of a brutal totalitarian regime that has demonstrated time and again its utter disregard for basic human dignity. The fight for a free Cuba has gone on for far too long.

Mitt Romney

What does it say about a president's policies when he has to use a cartoon character rather than real people to justify his record? What does it say about the fiction of old liberalism to insist that good jobs and good schools and good wages will result from policies that have failed us, time and again?

Mitt Romney

For those who have come here illegally, they might have a transition time to allow them to set their affairs in order. And then go back home and get in line with everybody else. And if they get in line and they apply to become a citizen and get a green card, they will be treated like everybody else.

Mitt Romney

At a time when nobody thought we'd ever see a new steel mill built in America, we took a chance and built one in a corn field in Indiana. Today Steel Dynamics is one of the largest steel producers in the United States.

Mitt Romney

Time stays, we go.

H. L. Mencken

Waste is worse than loss. The time is coming when every person who lays claim to ability will keep the question of waste before him constantly. The scope of thrift is limitless.

Thomas A. Edison

Poetry may make us from time to time a little more aware of the deeper, unnamed feelings which form the substratum of our being, to which we rarely penetrate for our lives are mostly a constant evasion of ourselves.

T. S. Eliot

Forgiveness is not a feeling - it's a decision we make because we want to do what's right before God. It's a quality decision that won't be easy and it may take time to get through the process, depending on the severity of the offense.

Joyce Meyer

Perfection is the child of time.

Joseph Hall

I bought some instant water one time but I didn't know what to add to it.

Steven Wright

Every time you get angry, you poison your own system.

Alfred A. Montapert

The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something.

Antoine de Saint-Exupery

If we do discover a complete theory, it should be in time understandable in broad principle by everyone. Then we shall all, philosophers, scientists, and just ordinary people be able to take part in the discussion of why we and the universe exist.

Stephen Hawking

As recent as the year 2000 we won elections by saying we shouldn't be the policemen of the world, and that we should not be nation building. And its time we got those values back into this country.

Ron Paul

To have no time for philosophy is to be a true philosopher.

Blaise Pascal

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs, and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

Reese Witherspoon

Oh, God, I struggle with low self-esteem all the time! I think everyone does. I have so much wrong with me, it's unbelievable!

Angelina Jolie

I saw a bank that said '24 Hour Banking,' but I don't have that much time.

Steven Wright

A man's brain has a more difficult time shifting from thinking to feeling than a women's brain does.

Barbara de Angelis

Gay people are the sweetest, kindest, most artistic, warmest and most thoughtful people in the world. And since the beginning of time all they've ever been is kicked.

Little Richard

Every great architect is - necessarily - a great poet. He must be a great original interpreter of his time, his day, his age.

Frank Lloyd Wright

It takes a long time to bring the past up to the present.

Franklin D. Roosevelt

It's life isn't it? You plow ahead and make a hit. And you plow on and someone passes you. Then someone passes them. Time levels.

Katharine Hepburn

Acting deals with very delicate emotions. It is not putting up a mask. Each time an actor acts he does not hide he exposes himself.

Rodney Dangerfield

The only time to buy these is on a day with no 'y' in it.

Warren Buffett

Everyone who achieves success in a great venture, solves each problem as they came to it. They helped themselves. And they were helped through powers known and unknown to them at the time they set out on their voyage. They keep going regardless of the obstacles they met.

W. Clement Stone

I cannot be awake for nothing looks to me as it did before, Or else I am awake for the first time, and all before has been a mean sleep.

Walt Whitman

Sex: the thing that takes up the least amount of time and causes the most amount of trouble.

John Barrymore

There is a time to take counsel of your fears, and there is a time to never listen to any fear.

George S. Patton

All the president is, is a glorified public relations man who spends his time flattering, kissing, and kicking people to get them to do what they are supposed to do anyway.

Harry S. Truman

I have long known that it is part of God's plan for me to spend a little time with each of the most stupid people on earth.

Bill Bryson

When we are sure that we are on the right road there is no need to plan our journey too far ahead. No need to burden ourselves with doubts and fears as to the obstacles that may bar our progress. We cannot take more than one step at a time.

Orison Swett Marden

Digital reading will completely take over. It's lightweight and it's fantastic for sharing. Over time it will take over.

Bill Gates

Oh, I think there are a lot of people who would be buying and selling online today that go up there and they get the information, but then when it comes time to type in their credit card they think twice because they're not sure about how that might get out and what that might mean for them.

Bill Gates

I think the thing we see is that as people are using video games more, they tend to watch passive TV a bit less. And so using the PC for the Internet, playing video games, is starting to cut into the rather unbelievable amount of time people spend watching TV.

Bill Gates

An invasion of armies can be resisted, but not an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

Do your damnedest in an ostentatious manner all the time.

George S. Patton

God lets you be successful because he trusts you that you will do the right thing with it. Now, does he get disappointed often? All the time, because people get there and they forget how they got it.

Steve Harvey

Once again, we come to the Holiday Season, a deeply religious time that each of us observes, in his own way, by going to the mall of his choice.

Dave Barry

Time will inevitably uncover dishonesty and lies history has no place for them.

Norodom Sihanouk

I did my time for the rape. I paid my money to Las Vegas. I paid my dues.

Mike Tyson

Time heals griefs and quarrels, for we change and are no longer the same persons. Neither the offender nor the offended are any more themselves.

Blaise Pascal

Motherhood is a great honor and privilege, yet it is also synonymous with servanthood. Every day women are called upon to selflessly meet the needs of their families. Whether they are awake at night nursing a baby, spending their time and money on less-than-grateful teenagers, or preparing meals, moms continuously put others before themselves.

Charles Stanley

It is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality.

Og Mandino

Time makes more converts than reason.

Thomas Paine

The secret of a happy marriage is finding the right person. You know they're right if you love to be with them all the time.

Julia Child

I've done everything I wanted to do, even if I have had to pay a very high price - which has been the case most of the time.

Paulo Coelho

I believe this with all my heart: The greatest coach of all time in my eyes is my mom. She's instilled in me a toughness and a perseverance and just a never-quit mentality, and I thank her every day for providing me, for what she sacrificed her life for.

Scott Brooks

Every time we liberate a woman, we liberate a man.

Brian Tracy

Life is like an ice-cream cone, you have to lick it one day at a time.

Charles M. Schulz

I like to hide behind the characters I play. Despite the public perception, I am a very private person who has a hard time with the fame thing.

Angelina Jolie

I think about baseball when I wake up in the morning. I think about it all day and I dream about it at night. The only time I don't think about it is when I'm playing it.

Carl Yastrzemski

The last time I saw him he was walking down lover's lane holding his own hand.

Fred Allen

Anyone who has lost track of time when using a computer knows the propensity to dream, the urge to make dreams come true and the tendency to miss lunch.

Tim Berners-Lee

I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

Michelle Williams

As time goes on we get closer to that American Dream of there being a pie cut up and shared. Usually greed and selfishness prevent that and there is always one bad apple in every barrel.

Rick Danko

This is the miracle that happens every time to those who really love: the more they give, the more they possess.

Rainer Maria Rilke

Our most important task is to transform our consciousness so that violence is no longer an option for us in our personal lives, that understanding that a world of peace is possible only if we relate to each other as peaceful beings, one individual at a time.

Deepak Chopra

Nothing else in the world... not all the armies... is so powerful as an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

A religious man is a person who holds God and man in one thought at one time, at all times, who suffers harm done to others, whose greatest passion is compassion, whose greatest strength is love and defiance of despair.

Abraham Joshua Heschel

Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy, spending so much time trying to pay the rent, all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.

Lydia Lunch

Everywhere is nowhere. When a person spends all his time in foreign travel, he ends by having many acquaintances, but no friends.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Time itself comes in drops.

William James

The time has come,' the walrus said, 'to talk of many things: of shoes and ships - and sealing wax - of cabbages and kings.'

Lewis Carroll

I think I'm finally growing up - and about time.

Elizabeth Taylor

The loss of a friend is like that of a limb time may heal the anguish of the wound, but the loss cannot be repaired.

Robert Southey

You know, when you really connect with the instrument and everything just comes out on an emotional level very naturally through your playing. That's, you know, a great night. And I think the reason I love touring so much is you're chasing that high around all the time, trying to have another good night.

Slash

The man who rows the boat seldom has time to rock it.

Bill Copeland

To love is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Emily Dickinson

My two secrets to staying healthy: wash your hands all the time. And, if you can't, use Purell or one of the sanitizers. And the other is hot peppers. I eat a lot of hot peppers. I for some reason started doing that in 1992, and I swear by it.

Hillary Clinton

Everyone has a breaking point, turning point, stress point, the game is permeated with it. The fans don't see it because we make it look so efficient. But internally, for a guy to be successful, you have to be like a clock spring, wound but not loose at the same time.

Dave Winfield

I'm not interested in trying to work on people's perceptions. I am who I am, and if you don't take the time to learn about that, then your perception is going to be your problem.

Jim Brown

What you lack in talent can be made up with desire, hustle and giving 110 percent all the time.

Don Zimmer

I have made the tough decisions, always with an eye toward the bottom line. Perhaps it's time America was run like a business.

Donald Trump

What with making their way and enjoying what they have won, heroes have no time to think. But the sons of heroes - ah, they have all the necessary leisure.

Aldous Huxley

Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen.

Thomas Carlyle

The time you feel lonely is the time you most need to be by yourself.

Doug Coupland

I knew that I could vote and that that wasn't a privilege it was my right. Every time I tried I was shot, killed or jailed, beaten or economically deprived.

Stokely Carmichael

It is as absurd to say that a man can't love one woman all the time as it is to say that a violinist needs several violins to play the same piece of music.

Honore de Balzac

Saying goodbye doesn't mean anything. It's the time we spent together that matters, not how we left it.

Trey Parker

Richard Nixon is a no good, lying bastard. He can lie out of both sides of his mouth at the same time, and if he ever caught himself telling the truth, he'd lie just to keep his hand in.

Harry S. Truman

No woman in my time will be prime minister or chancellor or foreign secretary - not the top jobs. Anyway, I wouldn't want to be prime minister you have to give yourself 100 percent.

Margaret Thatcher

Why do you think the old stories tell of men who set out on great journeys to impress the gods? Because trying to impress people just isn't worth the time and effort.

Henry Rollins

Television is a medium of entertainment which permits millions of people to listen to the same joke at the same time, and yet remain lonesome.

T. S. Eliot

The shock of any trauma, I think changes your life. It's more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche.

Alex Lifeson

I don't even drink! I can't stand the taste of alcohol. Every New Year's Eve I try one drink and every time it makes me feel sick. So I don't touch booze - I'm always the designated driver.

Kim Kardashian

In our time political speech and writing are largely the defense of the indefensible.

George Orwell

There is never time in the future in which we will work out our salvation. The challenge is in the moment the time is always now.

James A. Baldwin

My top most priority is to deal with India's massive social and economic problems, so that chronic poverty, ignorance and disease can be conquered in a reasonably short period of time.

Manmohan Singh

As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.

T. S. Eliot

You can't live your life blaming your failures on your parents and what they did or didn't do for you. You're dealt the cards that you're dealt. I realised it was a waste of time to be angry at my parents and feel sorry for myself.

Drew Barrymore

Leadership to me means duty, honor, country. It means character, and it means listening from time to time.

George W. Bush

You are your greatest asset. Put your time, effort and money into training, grooming, and encouraging your greatest asset.

Tom Hopkins

Some people ask the secret of our long marriage. We take time to go to a restaurant two times a week. A little candlelight, dinner, soft music and dancing. She goes Tuesdays, I go Fridays.

Henny Youngman

If you believe in your heart that you are right, you must fight with all your might to do it your way. Only dead fish swim with the stream all the time.

Linda Ellerbee

There is one thing stronger than all the armies in the world, and that is an idea whose time as come.

Victor Hugo

Greater than the tread of mighty armies is an idea whose time has come.

Victor Hugo

Religion is about turning untested belief into unshakable truth through the power of institutions and the passage of time.

Richard Dawkins

Yet, taught by time, my heart has learned to glow for other's good, and melt at other's woe.

Homer

Time is an illusion. Lunchtime doubly so.

Douglas Adams

No trait is more justified than revenge in the right time and place.

Meir Kahane

I never cut class. I loved getting A's, I liked being smart. I liked being on time. I thought being smart is cooler than anything in the world.

Michelle Obama

Therefore I feel that the aforementioned guiding principle must be modified to read: If you desire peace, cultivate justice, but at the same time cultivate the fields to produce more bread otherwise there will be no peace.

Norman Borlaug

Management by objective works - if you know the objectives. Ninety percent of the time you don't.

Peter Drucker

Nature gives to every time and season some beauties of its own and from morning to night, as from the cradle to the grave, it is but a succession of changes so gentle and easy that we can scarcely mark their progress.

Charles Dickens

Time discovers truth.

Lucius Annaeus Seneca

I just got tired of being sick and tired and feeling down. Unfortunately, you don't realize this until you're getting sober but the reason why you're depressed all the time is it's the drugs that are depressing you.

Steven Adler

Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still.

Dorothea Lange

We see past time in a telescope and present time in a microscope. Hence the apparent enormities of the present.

Victor Hugo

By the time a man gets to be presidential material, he's been bought ten times over.

Gore Vidal

You are not a beautiful, unique snowflake... This is your life, and it's ending one minute at a time.

Chuck Palahniuk

There comes a time when deceit and defiance must be seen for what they are. At that point, a gathering danger must be directly confronted. At that point, we must show that beyond our resolutions is actual resolve.

Dick Cheney

Under all speech that is good for anything there lies a silence that is better, Silence is deep as Eternity speech is shallow as Time.

Thomas Carlyle

Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.

Leonardo da Vinci

We are drowning in information, while starving for wisdom. The world henceforth will be run by synthesizers, people able to put together the right information at the right time, think critically about it, and make important choices wisely.

E. O. Wilson

A play should give you something to think about. When I see a play and understand it the first time, then I know it can't be much good.

T. S. Eliot

I do have a close circle of friends and I am very fortunate to have them as friends. I feel very close to them I think friends are everything in life after your family. You come across lots of people all the time but you only make very few friends and you have to be true to them otherwise what's the point in life?

Shahrukh Khan

People come in and out of our lives, and the true test of friendship is whether you can pick back up right where you left off the last time you saw each other.

Lisa See

The time has come for all evangelists to practice full financial disclosure. The world is watching how we walk and how we talk. We must have the highest standards of morality, ethics and integrity if we are to continue to have influence.

Billy Graham

A truer image of the world, I think, is obtained by picturing things as entering into the stream of time from an eternal world outside, than from a view which regards time as the devouring tyrant of all that is.

Bertrand Russell

You've got to stand up and do your own battles. My daddy taught me that a long time ago, that you fight your own battles. The only way to shut everybody up is to win.

Terry Bradshaw

Time has no divisions to mark its passage, there is never a thunder-storm or blare of trumpets to announce the beginning of a new month or year. Even when a new century begins it is only we mortals who ring bells and fire off pistols.

Thomas Mann

To achieve great things, two things are needed a plan, and not quite enough time.

Leonard Bernstein

About the time we can make the ends meet, somebody moves the ends.

Herbert Hoover

I have made this letter longer than usual, only because I have not had the time to make it shorter.

Blaise Pascal

No greater thing is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig, I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Epictetus

A positive attitude is not going to save you. What it's going to do is, everyday, between now and the day you die, whether that's a short time from now or a long time from now, that every day, you're going to actually live.

Elizabeth Edwards

We look forward to the time when the Power of Love will replace the Love of Power. Then will our world know the blessings of peace.

William E. Gladstone

I really enjoy being single again. I spent a lot of time in a relationship and the nearer we came to the end, the more difficult it got. You don't see things clearly as long as you're still involved.

Dido Armstrong

In every adversity there lies the seed of an equivalent advantage. In every defeat is a lesson showing you how to win the victory next time.

Robert Collier

If you're living in your time, you cannot help but to write about the things that are important.

Ray Bradbury

Go on failing. Go on. Only next time, try to fail better.

Jean Paul

Most of the time I don't have much fun. The rest of the time I don't have any fun at all.

Woody Allen

The freedom to fail is vital if you're going to succeed. Most successful people fail from time to time, and it is a measure of their strength that failure merely propels them into some new attempt at success.

Michael Korda

I just think people have a lot of fiction. But, you know, I mean, the real story of Facebook is just that we've worked so hard for all this time. I mean, the real story is actually probably pretty boring, right? I mean, we just sat at our computers for six years and coded.

Mark Zuckerberg

We should not say that one man's hour is worth another man's hour, but rather that one man during an hour is worth just as much as another man during an hour. Time is everything, man is nothing: he is at the most time's carcass.

Karl Marx

Concepts, like individuals, have their histories and are just as incapable of withstanding the ravages of time as are individuals. But in and through all this they retain a kind of homesickness for the scenes of their childhood.

Soren Kierkegaard

To live is so startling it leaves little time for anything else.

Emily Dickinson

I've spent too much time giving speeches, traveling the world.

Billy Graham

Nobody sees a flower really it is so small. We haven't time, and to see takes time - like to have a friend takes time.

Georgia O'Keeffe

Buying books would be a good thing if one could also buy the time to read them in: but as a rule the purchase of books is mistaken for the appropriation of their contents.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Never bear more than one kind of trouble at a time. Some people bear three kinds of trouble - the ones they've had, the ones they have, and the ones they expect to have.

Edward Everett Hale

Being a teenager is an amazing time and a hard time. It's when you make your best friends - I have girls who will never leave my heart and I still talk to. You get the best and the worst as a teen. You have the best friendships and the worst heartbreaks.

Sophia Bush

For the very first time the young are seeing history being made before it is censored by their elders.

Margaret Mead

Someone's sitting in the shade today because someone planted a tree a long time ago.

Les Brown

Skeet Ulrich

For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end.

Hubert H. Humphrey

Men seldom, or rather never for a length of time and deliberately, rebel against anything that does not deserve rebelling against.

Thomas Carlyle

Beauty is also submitted to the taste of time, so a beautiful woman from the Belle Epoch is not exactly the perfect beauty of today, so beauty is something that changes with time.

Karl Lagerfeld

Every time you don't follow your inner guidance, you feel a loss of energy, loss of power, a sense of spiritual deadness.

Shakti Gawain

The more time you spend contemplating what you should have done... you lose valuable time planning what you can and will do.

Lil Wayne

I must uphold my ideals, for perhaps the time will come when I shall be able to carry them out.

Anne Frank

The jealous are possessed by a mad devil and a dull spirit at the same time.

Johann Kaspar Lavater

Black Consciousness is an attitude of the mind and a way of life, the most positive call to emanate from the black world for a long time.

Steven Biko

When I was trying to impress Kate I was trying to cook these amazing fancy dinners and what would happen was I would burn something, something would overspill, something would catch on fire and she would be sitting in the background trying to help, and basically taking control of the whole situation, so I was quite glad she was there at the time.

Prince William

If a little dreaming is dangerous, the cure for it is not to dream less but to dream more, to dream all the time.

Marcel Proust

People say that if you find water rising up to your ankle, that's the time to do something about it, not when it's around your neck.

Chinua Achebe

I'm one of the slowest drivers on the road. I mosey along. If you're doing anything too fast, including living life too fast, that creates sudden death. If I have to be somewhere on time, I make sure I leave early enough.

Anthony Hopkins

On the whole, human beings want to be good, but not too good, and not quite all the time.

George Orwell

Silence is as deep as eternity, speech a shallow as time.

Thomas Carlyle

Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.

David Wilkerson

We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly - spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order.

Susan Taylor

To be always intending to make a new and better life but never to find time to set about it is as to put off eating and drinking and sleeping from one day to the next until you're dead.

Og Mandino

We know in New York we have several million at any one time who are in New York illegally.

Hillary Clinton

I always supported the women I worked with having time off to go to parent-teacher conferences and doctors' appointments or bringing their infants into the office.

Hillary Clinton

Heckling is an act of cowardice. If you want to speak, get up in front of the microphone and speak, don't sit in the dark hiding. It's easy to hide and shout and waste people's time.

Billy Connolly

I am shocked at how much time I spend in the White House. I mean, you know, for people on the outside, the idea of going to the White House for a meeting must seem like the most important, serious, even glamorous kind of thing to do.

Hillary Clinton

We shall never have more time. We have, and always had, all the time there is. No object is served in waiting until next week or even until tomorrow. Keep going... Concentrate on something useful.

Arnold Bennett

Sometimes overturning brutal regimes takes time and costs lives. I wish it weren't so. I really, really do.

Hillary Clinton

We have domesticated God's transcendence. We often learn about God at about the same time as we are learning about Santa Claus but our ideas about Santa Claus change, mature and become more nuanced, whereas our ideas of God can remain at a rather infantile level.

Karen Armstrong

Vision without action is merely a dream. Action without vision just passes the time. Vision with action can change the world.

Joel A. Barker

Time is the most valuable thing on earth: time to think, time to act, time to extend our fraternal relations, time to become better men, time to become better women, time to become better and more independent citizens.

Samuel Gompers

Time travel used to be thought of as just science fiction, but Einstein's general theory of relativity allows for the possibility that we could warp space-time so much that you could go off in a rocket and return before you set out.

Stephen Hawking

We die only once, and for such a long time.

Moliere

Since you cannot do good to all, you are to pay special attention to those who, by the accidents of time, or place, or circumstances, are brought into closer connection with you.

Augustine of Hippo

Time is the substance from which I am made. Time is a river which carries me along, but I am the river it is a tiger that devours me, but I am the tiger it is a fire that consumes me, but I am the fire.

Jorge Luis Borges

Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life.

Gilbert K. Chesterton

It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church, and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.

Vance Havner

Time is nature's way of keeping everything from happening at once.

Woody Allen

And we are never too old to study the Bible. Each time the lessons are studied comes some new meaning, some new thought which will make us better.

John D. Rockefeller

I believe that love and laughter can only happen when one person takes the time to think about what would cause the other person to feel good.

Yakov Smirnoff

The intellectual is different from the ordinary man, but only in certain sections of his personality, and even then not all the time.

George Orwell

When you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die.

Lillian Smith

For me, forgiveness and compassion are always linked: how do we hold people accountable for wrongdoing and yet at the same time remain in touch with their humanity enough to believe in their capacity to be transformed?

Bell Hooks

My favorite time in the cycles of public life is the time when the Pope is dead and they haven't elected a new one. There's no one in the world who is infallible for those weeks. And you know, I don't miss it.

Christopher Hitchens

In books lies the soul of the whole past time.

Thomas Carlyle

If you kiss on the first date and it's not right, then there will be no second date. Sometimes it's better to hold out and not kiss for a long time. I am a strong believer in kissing being very intimate, and the minute you kiss, the floodgates open for everything else.

Jennifer Lopez

Eternity is in love with the productions of time.

William Blake

A schedule defends from chaos and whim. It is a net for catching days. It is a scaffolding on which a worker can stand and labor with both hands at sections of time.

Annie Dillard

People who have time on their hands will inevitably waste the time of people who have work to do.

Thomas Sowell

Life gives you plenty of time to do whatever you want to do if you stay in the present moment.

Deepak Chopra

They're trying to tell us that we're not right, so we have to buy their products. The number one cause of mental illness is not knowing who you are and you can't know who you are if you don't spend time honoring yourself, and living in the present.

Naomi Judd

At a time like this, scorching irony, not convincing argument, is needed.

Frederick Douglass

Most of us can remember a time when a birthday - especially if it was one's own - brightened the world as if a second sun has risen.

Robert Staughton Lynd

Poetry should help, not only to refine the language of the time, but to prevent it from changing too rapidly.

T. S. Eliot

There will come a time when you believe everything is finished. Yet that will be the beginning.

Louis L'Amour

A good day is one where I can not just read a book, but write a review of it. Maybe today I'll be able to do that. I get for some reason somewhat stronger when the sun starts to go down. Dusk is a good time for me. I'm crepuscular.

Christopher Hitchens

If you are working 50 hours a week in a factory, you don't have time to read 10 newspapers a day and go back to declassified government archives. But such people may have far-reaching insights into the way the world works.

Noam Chomsky

I try to keep it real. I don't have time to worry about what I'm projecting to the world. I'm just busy being myself.

Demi Lovato

The ideas of the ruling class are in every epoch the ruling ideas, i.e., the class which is the ruling material force of society, is at the same time its ruling intellectual force.

Karl Marx

Truth has no special time of its own. Its hour is now - always.

Albert Schweitzer

Have regular hours for work and play make each day both useful and pleasant, and prove that you understand the worth of time by employing it well. Then youth will be delightful, old age will bring few regrets, and life will become a beautiful success.

Louisa May Alcott

Viewed freely, the English language is the accretion and growth of every dialect, race, and range of time, and is both the free and compacted composition of all.

Walt Whitman

Both in thought and in feeling, even though time be real, to realise the unimportance of time is the gate of wisdom.

Bertrand Russell

The slave is doomed to worship time and fate and death, because they are greater than anything he finds in himself, and because all his thoughts are of things which they devour.

Bertrand Russell

It's important to take time for your spouse and nurture the relationship.

Christina Aguilera

Freedom comes only to those who no longer ask of life that it shall yield them any of those personal goods that are subject to the mutations of time.

Bertrand Russell

It is even better to act quickly and err than to hesitate until the time of action is past.

Karl Von Clausewitz

Everything comes in time to those who can wait.

Francois Rabelais

As much as I would love to be a person that goes to parties and has a couple of drinks and has a nice time, that doesn't work for me. I'd just rather sit at home and read, or go out to dinner with someone, or talk to someone I love, or talk to somebody that makes me laugh.

Daniel Radcliffe

Don't get too comfortable with who you are at any given time - you may miss the opportunity to become who you want to be.

Jon Bon Jovi

Most people should be talking about how Floyd Mayweather is a great undefeated future Hall of Famer that's his own promoter and that works extremely hard to get to where he's at. Instead, all you hear is hate and jealous remarks from critics who criticize me and, you know, most of the time, the people that criticize me can't do what I can do.

Floyd Mayweather, Jr.

I was in enough to get along with people. I was never socially inarticulate. Not a loner. And that saved my life, saved my sanity. That and the writing. But to this day I distrust anybody who thought school was a good time. Anybody.

Stephen King

I'm someone who loves to enjoy life and tries to focus on real things and real friendships. That's why I live very simply. I'm a jeans and T-shirt kind of girl. I don't spend much time fixing myself up or trying to look cool. I live like a normal person and even though I'm in a very high-profile business, I really don't let it affect the way I live.

Cameron Diaz

It is only in the world of objects that we have time and space and selves.

T. S. Eliot

I am learning all the time. The tombstone will be my diploma.

Eartha Kitt

Don't be a time manager, be a priority manager. Cut your major goals into bite-sized pieces. Each small priority or requirement on the way to ultimate goal become a mini goal in itself.

Denis Waitley

For the first half of geological time our ancestors were bacteria. Most creatures still are bacteria, and each one of our trillions of cells is a colony of bacteria.

Richard Dawkins

I really had no great love for shoes. I was a working First Lady I was always in canvas shoes. I did nurture the shoes industry of the Philippines, and so every time there was a shoe fair, I would receive a pair of shoes as a token of gratitude.

Imelda Marcos

A thing is mighty big when time and distance cannot shrink it.

Zora Neale Hurston

Trust has to be earned, and should come only after the passage of time.

Michael Phelps

Only good girls keep diaries. Bad girls don't have time.

Tallulah Bankhead

Time always seems long to the child who is waiting - for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.

Dag Hammarskjold

If neurotic is wanting two mutually exclusive things at one and the same time, then I'm neurotic as hell. I'll be flying back and forth between one mutually exclusive thing and another for the rest of my days.

Sylvia Plath

The time to relax is when you don't have time for it.

Sydney J. Harris

How can anybody hate nurses? Nobody hates nurses. The only time you hate a nurse is when they're giving you an enema.

Warren Beatty

As anyone who has ever been around a cat for any length of time well knows, cats have enormous patience with the limitations of the human kind.

Cleveland Amory

Time is bunk.

Douglas Adams

The single most important thing in a child's performance is the quality of the teacher. Making sure a child spends the maximum amount of time with inspirational teachers is the most important thing.

Michael Gove

It's time to say goodbye, but I think goodbyes are sad and I'd much rather say hello. Hello to a new adventure.

Ernie Harwell

I have found it advisable not to give too much heed to what people say when I am trying to accomplish something of consequence. Invariably they proclaim it can't be done. I deem that the very best time to make the effort.

Calvin Coolidge

Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes.

John Ruskin

The best time for you to hold your tongue is the time you feel you must say something or bust.

Josh Billings

First love is a kind of vaccination which saves a man from catching the complaint the second time.

J. R. R. Tolkien

Laws are silent in time of war.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

If I hold back, I'm no good. I'm no good. I'd rather be good sometimes, than holding back all the time.

Janis Joplin

It's the same each time with progress. First they ignore you, then they say you're mad, then dangerous, then there's a pause and then you can't find anyone who disagrees with you.

Tony Benn

Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time.

Denis Waitley

To keep it simple you run your gym like you run your house. Keep it clean and in good running order. No jerks allowed, members pay on time and if they give you any crap, throw them out. There's peace where there's order.

Joe Gold

Time is the scarcest resource and unless it is managed nothing else can be managed.

Peter Drucker

I feel when somebody has been playing cricket for a long time, he creates a separate identity for himself.

Sachin Tendulkar

I live in a crazy time.

Anne Frank

A man may speak very well in the House of Commons, and fail very completely in the House of Lords. There are two distinct styles requisite: I intend, in the course of my career, if I have time, to give a specimen of both.

Benjamin Disraeli

People have taken time out of their day and spent their money to come sit down at a concert. And it's jazz music-it's not easy for them to get to it. I don't want them ever to feel that I'm taking their presence lightly.

Wynton Marsalis

Computers may save time but they sure waste a lot of paper. About 98 percent of everything printed out by a computer is garbage that no one ever reads.

Andy Rooney

When it's time for me to walk away from something, I walk away from it. My mind, my body, my conscience tell me that enough is enough.

Jerry West

It is easier to be a lover than a husband for the simple reason that it is more difficult to be witty every day than to say pretty things from time to time.

Honore de Balzac

Not a single time have we gotten a right from Congress or from the President. We get them from God.

Glenn Beck

I'm trying to stay as calm as possible and focus one day at a time, but when reality sets in, I feel everything: anxiety, excitement, nerves, pressure and joy.

Shawn Johnson

One of the most pervasive political visions of our time is the vision of liberals as compassionate and conservatives as less caring.

Thomas Sowell

We are at the very beginning of time for the human race. It is not unreasonable that we grapple with problems. But there are tens of thousands of years in the future. Our responsibility is to do what we can, learn what we can, improve the solutions, and pass them on.

Richard P. Feynman

If you start using a medication in a person with autism, you should see an obvious improvement in behavior in a short period of time. If you do not see an obvious improvement, they probably should not be taking the stuff. It is that simple.

Temple Grandin

Boredom is the feeling that everything is a waste of time serenity, that nothing is.

Thomas Szasz

The innocent and the beautiful have no enemy but time.

William Butler Yeats

In wisdom gathered over time I have found that every experience is a form of exploration.

Ansel Adams

Yet, when child sex offenders are brought to justice and serve time for their offenses, they are often released into unsuspecting communities and left free to resume their sexual attacks.

Alvin Toffler

Any time three New Yorkers get into a cab without an argument, a bank has just been robbed.

Phyllis Diller

The most thought-provoking thing in our thought-provoking time is that we are still not thinking.

Martin Heidegger

Every parent is at some time the father of the unreturned prodigal, with nothing to do but keep his house open to hope.

John Ciardi

The pressure on young chefs today is far greater than ever before in terms of social skills, marketing skills, cooking skills, personality and, more importantly, delivering on the plate. So you need to be strong. Physically fit. So my chefs get weighed every time they come into the kitchen.

Gordon Ramsay

My father wasn't around when I was a kid, and I used to always say, 'Why me? Why don't I have a father? Why isn't he around? Why did he leave my mother?' But as I got older I looked deeper and thought, 'I don't know what my father was going through, but if he was around all the time, would I be who I am today?'

LeBron James

Thanks to television, for the first time the young are seeing history made before it is censored by their elders.

Margaret Mead

I will continue to work as hard as I can to make this organization proud. Every time I step on the field I will give everything I have and I will leave everything I have on the field every single Sunday.

Tim Tebow

Seek always to do some good, somewhere. Every man has to seek in his own way to realize his true worth. You must give some time to your fellow man. For remember, you don't live in a world all your own. Your brothers are here too.

Albert Schweitzer

One does not discover new lands without consenting to lose sight of the shore for a very long time.

Andre Gide

There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes - seize it, don't miss it.

Max Lucado

The shortest period of time lies between the minute you put some money away for a rainy day and the unexpected arrival of rain.

Jane Bryant Quinn

Be of service. Whether you make yourself available to a friend or co-worker, or you make time every month to do volunteer work, there is nothing that harvests more of a feeling of empowerment than being of service to someone in need.

Gillian Anderson

You're only as young as the last time you changed your mind.

Timothy Leary

The time at our disposal each day is elastic the passions we feel dilate it, those that inspire us shrink it, and habit fills it.

Marcel Proust

Growing old is no more than a bad habit which a busy person has no time to form.

Andre Maurois

One never reaches home, but wherever friendly paths intersect the whole world looks like home for a time.

Hermann Hesse

A time will come when a politician who has willfully made war and promoted international dissension will be as sure of the dock and much surer of the noose than a private homicide. It is not reasonable that those who gamble with men's lives should not stake their own.

H. G. Wells

Time is neutral and does not change things. With courage and initiative, leaders change things.

Jesse Jackson

Portland, Oregon won't build a mile of road without a mile of bike path. You can commute there, even with that weather, all the time.

Lance Armstrong

Christmas is the day that holds all time together.

Alexander Smith

I sacrifice in my love life and my social life, but those things will be there in three or four years. This is a really important time in my life. I can't just be the girl who sang 'I Kissed a Girl.' I have to leave a legacy.

Katy Perry

Nothing great is created suddenly, any more than a bunch of grapes or a fig. If you tell me that you desire a fig. I answer you that there must be time. Let it first blossom, then bear fruit, then ripen.

Epictetus

If there existed no external means for dimming their consciences, one-half of the men would at once shoot themselves, because to live contrary to one's reason is a most intolerable state, and all men of our time are in such a state.

Leo Tolstoy

Realize that if you have time to whine and complain about something then you have the time to do something about it.

Anthony J. D'Angelo

(On seeing a former lover for the first time in years) I thought I told you to wait in the car.

Tallulah Bankhead

The only time some people work like a horse is when the boss rides them.

Gabriel Heatter

Natural science will in time incorporate into itself the science of man, just as the science of man will incorporate into itself natural science: there will be one science.

Karl Marx

I tell people I'm too stupid to know what's impossible. I have ridiculously large dreams, and half the time they come true.

Debi Thomas

Friends are thieves of time.

Francis Bacon

No one can possibly know what is about to happen: it is happening, each time, for the first time, for the only time.

James A. Baldwin

If you aren't good at loving yourself, you will have a difficult time loving anyone, since you'll resent the time and energy you give another person that you aren't even giving to yourself.

Barbara de Angelis

My creed is that: Happiness is the only good. The place to be happy is here. The time to be happy is now. The way to be happy is to make others so.

Robert Green Ingersoll

To talk about balance, it's easier to talk about what's out of balance. And I think anytime that you have any disease, and disease meaning lack of ease, lack of flow... dis-ease. So any time there's disease, you're out of balance, whether it's jealousy, anger, greed, anxiety, fear.

Ricky Williams

That which you create in beauty and goodness and truth lives on for all time to come. Don't spend your life accumulating material objects that will only turn to dust and ashes.

Denis Waitley

Music is nothing else but wild sounds civilized into time and tune.

Thomas Fuller

The greatest part of a writer's time is spent in reading in order to write. A man will turn over half a library to make a book.

Samuel Johnson

If it is your time, love will track you down like a cruise missile.

Lynda Barry

I don't know if I believe in love at first sight, but of course I believe in two people having chemistry right away. A girl should be really easy to talk to. When I lose track of time because we've been talking, I think that's really fun.

Zac Efron

Never give up, for that is just the place and time that the tide will turn.

Harriet Beecher Stowe

An artist is an artist only because of his exquisite sense of beauty, a sense which shows him intoxicating pleasures, but which at the same time implies and contains an equally exquisite sense of all deformities and all disproportion.

Charles Baudelaire

Life in the twentieth century is like a parachute jump: you have to get it right the first time.

Margaret Mead

I've got a theory that if you give 100% all of the time, somehow things will work out in the end.

Larry Bird

I didn't fully realize it at the time, but the goal of my life was profoundly molded by this experience - to help produce, in the next generation, more Mother Teresas and less Hitlers.

Elisabeth Kubler-Ross

I believe if there is any place left where the humanity is still visible, it can not be anywhere else than in an Islamic society. Time would come when the world would be obliged to accept this reality.

Jermaine Jackson

I think every entertainer's had nights when things go wrong. I mean you can't remember everything all the time, and especially if you're having hard times personally, things going on that you - you know, and then people make it worse. And that makes you feel worse.

Dolly Parton

So long as you have food in your mouth, you have solved all questions for the time being.

Franz Kafka

I am one of those scientists who feels that it is no longer enough just to get on and do science. We have to devote a significant proportion of our time and resources to defending it from deliberate attack from organised ignorance.

Richard Dawkins

To take a photograph is to participate in another person's mortality, vulnerability, mutability. Precisely by slicing out this moment and freezing it, all photographs testify to time's relentless melt.

Susan Sontag

I'm not comfortable being preachy, but more people need to start spending as much time in the library as they do on the basketball court.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

I try to do the right thing at the right time. They may just be little things, but usually they make the difference between winning and losing.

Kareem Abdul-Jabbar

Islam expect every Muslim to do this duty, and if we realise our responsibility time will come soon when we shall justify ourselves worthy of a glorious past.

Muhammad Ali Jinnah

Jawaharlal Nehru

Eagles don't flock, you have to find them one at a time.

Ross Perot

Love is space and time measured by the heart.

Marcel Proust

No great idea in its beginning can ever be within the law. How can it be within the law? The law is stationary. The law is fixed. The law is a chariot wheel which binds us all regardless of conditions or place or time.

Emma Goldman

Of course, everybody makes mistakes, and we've all been young and stupid. But people need to have a sense of respect, particularly in this business, because hundreds of people are ready to take your place at any time. Maybe some people should think about that.

Sophia Bush

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten, then he who continues the attack wins.

Ulysses S. Grant

I like somebody who's not so crazy but likes to have a good time... and who is thoughtful and kind and easy to laugh with. Somebody you can just be yourself with one hundred and fifty percent.

Kate Bosworth

Life is like an onion. You peel it off one layer at a time, and sometimes you weep.

Carl Sandburg

When I sing, I feel like when you're first in love. It's more than sex. It's that point two people can get to they call love, when you really touch someone for the first time, but it's gigantic, multiplied by the whole audience. I feel chills.

Janis Joplin

Life is a series of steps. Things are done gradually. Once in a while there is a giant step, but most of the time we are taking small, seemingly insignificant steps on the stairway of life.

Ralph Ransom

Don't ever let economic alone determine your career or how you spend the majority of your time.

Denis Waitley

The best time I ever had with Joan Crawford was when I pushed her down the stairs in Whatever Happened to Baby Jane?

Ego is a social fiction for which one person at a time gets all the blame.

Robert Anton Wilson

Anyone who says they're not afraid at the time of a hurricane is either a fool or a liar, or a little bit of both.

Anderson Cooper

Vanity of science. Knowledge of physical science will not console me for ignorance of morality in time of affliction, but knowledge of morality will always console me for ignorance of physical science.

Blaise Pascal

Do not wait the time will never be 'just right.' Start where you stand, and work with whatever tools you may have at your command, and better tools will be found as you go along.

George Herbert

Those who make the worst use of their time are the first to complain of its shortness.

Jean de la Bruyere

The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him he indulges it, he loves it but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.

Edmund Burke

Only in our dreams are we free. The rest of the time we need wages.

Terry Pratchett

90 percent of my time is spent on 10 percent of the world.

Colin Powell

I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.

Jack Nicholson

If we think we have ours and don't owe any time or money or effort to help those left behind, then we are a part of the problem rather than the solution to the fraying social fabric that threatens all Americans.

Marian Wright Edelman

If you look - look at - I mean, look at what's going on with your gasoline prices. They're going to go to $5, $6, $7 and we don't have anybody in Washington that calls OPEC and says, 'Fellas, it's time. It's over. You're not going to do it anymore.'

Donald Trump

I try to forget about the expectation that's out there and the audience listening for the next thing so that I'm not trying to please them. I've spent a huge amount of time not communicating with those folks and denying that they exist.

Chuck Palahniuk

Winning is overrated. The only time it is really important is in surgery and war.

Al McGuire

Here or henceforward it is all the same to me, I accept Time absolutely.

Walt Whitman

Let us learn to appreciate there will be times when the trees will be bare, and look forward to the time when we may pick the fruit.

Anton Chekhov

There's much to be said for feeling numb. Time passes more quickly. You eat less, and because numbness encourages laziness, you do fewer things, good or bad, and the world's probably a better place for it.

Doug Coupland

The noir hero is a knight in blood caked armor. He's dirty and he does his best to deny the fact that he's a hero the whole time.

Frank Miller

Every great film should seem new every time you see it.

Roger Ebert

Truth is the daughter of time, not of authority.

Francis Bacon

There are a lot of things that are personally uncomfortable to show, especially me without makeup and completely bloated or crying. But I've realized that it's time for me to show my audience that you don't have to be perfect to achieve your dreams. Because nobody relates to being perfect.

Katy Perry

What makes photography a strange invention is that its primary raw materials are light and time.

John Berger

Time, which changes people, does not alter the image we have retained of them.

Marcel Proust

I just go where my heart tells me, where my gut tells me to go, where I'm enjoying my life the most, where I feel like I can have the most success. I've truly enjoyed my experience in NASCAR, to the point that I want to do it full time.

Danica Patrick

Cancer victims who don't accept their fate, who don't learn to live with it, will only destroy what little time they have left.

Ingrid Bergman

Time destroys the speculation of men, but it confirms nature.

Marcus Tullius Cicero

I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority.

E. B. White

I've learned from experience that if you work harder at it, and apply more energy and time to it, and more consistency, you get a better result. It comes from the work.

Louis C. K.

I'm embarrassed every time I look a teacher in the eye, because we ask them to do so much for so little.

Phil McGraw

You will launch many projects, but have time to finish only a few. So think, plan, develop, launch and tap good people to be responsible. Give them authority and hold them accountable. Trying to do too much yourself creates a bottleneck.

Donald Rumsfeld

Our soul is cast into a body, where it finds number, time, dimension. Thereupon it reasons, and calls this nature necessity, and can believe nothing else.

Blaise Pascal

When we disclaim praise, it is only showing our desire to be praised a second time.

Francois de La Rochefoucauld

All my life, whenever it comes time to make a decision, I make it and forget about it.

Harry S. Truman

The first time I see a jogger smiling, I'll consider it.

Michael Badnarik

Time is precious, but truth is more precious than time.

Benjamin Disraeli

A good athlete always mentally replays a competition over and over, even in victory, to see what might be done to improve the performance the next time.

Frank Shorter

A simple fact that is hard to learn is that the time to save money is when you have some.

Joe Moore

Young poets bewail the passing of love old poets, the passing of time. There is surprisingly little difference.

Benjamin Disraeli

I'm convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that's not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time.

Jean Racine

Try not to have a good time... this is supposed to be educational.
