I have enjoyed presenting Crimewatch but I felt that it was time for me to leave the show [on leaving before he was kicked out by the BBC]
Nick RossWhere the ball went was up to heaven. Sometimes I threw the ball clean up into the stands.
Bob FellerWell-timed silence hath more eloquence than speech.
Martin TupperThe whole point of a sacrifice is that you give up something you never really wanted in the first place. People are doing it around you all the time. They give up their careers, say - or their beliefs - or sex.
John OsbornePreston wouldn't allow me to watch TV after 830 - that was talking time.
Chantelle HoughtonEverything that is right or natural pleasds for separation. The blood of the slain, the weeping voice of nature cries, 'tis time to part.
Thomas PaineThis is space. It's sometimes called the final frontier. (Except that of course you can't have a *final* frontier, because there'd be nothing for it to be a frontier *to*, but as frontiers go, it's pretty penultimate...)
Terry PratchettSentimentality is the only sentiment that rubs you the wrong way.
W Somerset MaughamDoing a radio show like this means that you must be able to respond to how the guest comes across and their reactions to your questions which can be a little unpredictable at times!
Terry GrossThe time is near at hand which must determine whether Americans are to be free men or slaves.
George WashingtonIf I could win Wimbledon 10 times I'd be happy.
Maria SharapovaWhen you stop learning, stop listening, stop looking and asking questions, always new questions, then it is time to die.
Lillian SmithI absolutely love my tattoos. The girls and I decided that the next time Girls Aloud have a No. 1, we'll all get one done. I want us to get something that only makes sense if we all stand in line, though!
Cheryl TweedyIf you are the master be sometimes blind, if you are the servant be sometimes deaf.
R Buckminster FullerNever stop because you are afraid - you are never so likely to be wrong. Never keep a line of retreat: it is a wretched invention. The difficult is what takes a little time; the impossible is what takes a little longer.
Fridtjof NansenAre we the new Surrey?
[on Durham - having three players in the England team for the first time ever]
Paul CollingwoodA week is a long time in politics.
Harold WilsonI know no subject more elevating, more amazing, more ready to the poetical enthusiasm, the philosophical reflection, and the moral sentiment than the works of nature. Where can we meet such variety, such beauty, such magnificence?
James ThomsonI have met Saddam Hussein exactly the same number of times as Donald Rumsfeld met him. The difference is that Donald Rumsfeld met him to sell him guns and to give him maps the better to target those guns.
George GallowayI see - she's the original good time that was had by all.
Bette DavisLewis has enjoyed phenomenal reliability from his car this year. It was just a default in the gearbox which selected neutral for a period of time but then sorted itself out.
Ron DennisGod seems to have left the receiver off the hook and time is running out
Arthur KoestlerIt certainly seems contradictory of the [local] council to be encouraging parents to stop using their cars to take children to school but at the same time taking so long about the safe routes initiative.

Brian CloughWisdom is the reward you get for a lifetime of listening when you'd have preferred to talk.
Doug LarsonPeople wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
Marcel ProustIt is a common rule with primitive people not to waken a sleeper, because his soul is away and might not have time to get back.
James George FrazerKeep on beginning and failing. Each time you fail, start all over gain, and you will grow stronger until have accomplished a purpose - not the one you began with perhaps, but one you'll be glad to remember.
Ben SteinDon't make the mistake of trying to set out every day in this leadership campaign policies that will make us look ridiculous in five years' time
David CameronAs Eric Dolphy said "Once you play the music, it's in the air. It's gone". And that's true. But when you record it, it comes back to haunt you sometimes.
John AbercrombieWait a minute, Doc - are you telling me you built a time machine out of a Delorean?
Michael J FoxI 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 WhiteIt can actually be very hard to assess how happy you are as an individual at a particular moment in time.
Craig FergusonThe fact that I have entered into IT-related business is proof that businesses have to evolve and keep with time. One has to re-invent continuously.
Kerry PackerThere's nobody in the Labour Party, Gordon Brown through to the person who joined last week, who is not concerned and deeply upset and even depressed about what has happened over the last week - it's been a dreadful time
Alan JohnsonThis existence of ours is as transient as Autumn clouds. To watch the birth and death of beings is like looking at the movements of a dance. A lifetime is a flash of lightning in the sky. Rushing by, like a torrent down a steep mountain.
BuddhaThe illusion that times that were are better than those that are, has probably pervaded all ages
Horace GreeleySometimes our fate resembles a fruit tree in winter. Who would think that those branches would turn green again and blossom, but we hope it, we know it.
Johann Wolfgang Von GoetheNothing that is worth doing can be achieved in a lifetime; therefore we must be saved by hope.

Alan ShearerSometimes Harvey Weinstein will let me use the Miramax jet if I'm opening a supermarket for him.
Gwyneth PaltrowAll my possessions for a moment in time.
Queen Elizabeth IYou will never find time for anything. If you want time you must make it.
Charles BuxtonThat indefatigable and unsavoury engine of pollution, the dog (letter to The Times)
John SparrowThe last time I changed my camera was 50 years ago. All I need is a good face and the right light.

Helen RowlandYou cannot just waste time. Otherwise you'll die to regret it.
Harriet DoerrFirst there is a time when we believe everything, then for a little while we believe with discrimination, then we believe nothing whatever, and then we believe everything again - and, moreover, give reasons why we believe.
Georg LichtenbergWe 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.
