Time
(page 19)
Failure is simply the opportunity to begin again, this time more intelligently.
A friend is what the heart needs all the time.
You can fool all the people some of the time, and some of the people all the time, but you cannot fool all the people all the time.
I don't spend much time looking back at what happened. I do remember it, but I don't see any purpose of wanting to look back.
When your time comes to die, be not like those whose hearts are filled with fear of death, so that when their time comes they weep and pray for a little more time to live their lives over again in a different way. Sing your death song, and die like a hero going home.
Time and memory are true artists; they remould reality nearer to the heart's desire.
I think of animals more as spirits that come and go. They enter our lives at a particular time and they leave at a particular time. The whole glorious history of animals with people is about joy and connection. It's about loving this creature and letting this creature love you.
People won't have time for you if you are always angry or complaining.
For those of us who aren't great with people, we figure that silence is always the safest bet. If you're an introvert, you spend so much of your time wishing that other people would just shut the hell up that you figure you're doing everyone a favor.
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.
