Time
(page 17)
Choose to focus your time, energy and conversation around people who inspire you, support you and help you to grow you into your happiest, strongest, wisest self.
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.
I might have lived long enough to learn all this in the long haul, but I would have been just another soul taking up time and space for a long spell before I learned.
People always tell you, 'Be humble. Be humble.' When was the last time someone told you to be amazing? Be great! Be great! Be awesome! Be awesome!
I respect everybody, but at the same time, I carry myself with an aura that demands respect, too.
I trust in nature for the stable laws of beauty and utility. Spring shall plant and autumn garner to the end of time.
I've gone the full spectrum — from gospel to blues to jazz to soul to pop — and the public has accepted what I've done through it all. I think it means I've been doing something right at the right time.
In the time we have it is surely our duty to do all the good we can to all the people we can in all the ways we can.
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.
I spend a lot of time in prayer. God doesn't always show up on my time, but he always shows up!
That's what's great about the horror genre is that you're getting a load of people together in the cinema at the same place and the same time, having them all experience extreme fear and come out alive at the end. It's an uplifting experience, and there's a sense of elation.
I think if you hearken back to partial-birth abortion... everybody said, you know, it's not constitutional. It can't pass; it can't go anywhere, and it took time to do that, and it even had to succeed a presidential veto. But it eventually did.
Christmas, my child, is love in action. Every time we love, every time we give, it's Christmas.
Christmas is not a time nor a season, but a state of mind. To cherish peace and goodwill, to be plenteous in mercy, is to have the real spirit of Christmas.
A bad system will beat a good person every time.
Time passes, and little by little everything that we have spoken in falsehood becomes true.
I'd always vaguely expected to outgrow my limitations. One day, I'd stop twisting my hair, and wearing running shoes all the time, and eating exactly the same food every day. I'd remember my friends' birthdays, I'd learn Photoshop, I wouldn't let my daughter watch TV during breakfast. I'd read Shakespeare.
At school I pretended I had a normal life, but I felt lonely all the time and different from everyone else. I never felt like I fit in, and I wasn't allowed to participate in after-school activities, go to sports events or parties or date boys. Many times I had to make up stories about why I couldn't do anything with my classmates.
The holidays are only overwhelming because it's crunch time. It's like everyone trying to get last-minute things in before the New Year starts.
We didn't lose the game; we just ran out of time.
