What a sense of security in an old book which Time has criticised for us!
James Russell LowellI let my feet spend as little time on the ground as possible. From the air, fast down, and from the ground, fast up.
Jesse OwensIt's about giving the people what they want. So many people have told me that they've made love to my records so what I've delivered this time is an album about sex. Pretty much every song has that theme. Straight no chasers, it's booty music!
TyreseIf you do a good job for others, you heal yourself at the same time, because a dose of joy is a spiritual cure. It transcends all barriers.
Ed SullivanIt is impossible for you to be angry and laugh at the same time. Anger and laughter are mutually exclusive and you have the power to choose either.
Dr Wayne DyerBoyfriends have to understand my needs. I shower four times a day.
Anna KournikovaDeath cannot come
To him untimely who is fit to die;
The less of this cold world, the more of heaven;
The briefer life, the earlier immortality
H H MilmanIngratitude's a weed of every clime,
It thrives too fast at first, but fades in time
Sir Samuel GarthBelieve me, it is no time for words when the wounds are fresh and bleeding; no time for homilies when the lightning's shaft has smitten, and the man lies stunned and stricken. Then let the comforter be silent; let him sustain by his presence, not by his preaching; by his sympathetic silence, not by his speech.
George Horace LorimerThere is a place in this world for satire but there is a time when satire ends and intolerance and bigotry toward religious beliefs begins.
Isaac HayesOur 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 HarrisI dealt with it well and I didn't really have any nerves for my first time in front of a big home crowd [on beating Taylor Dent in the Stella Artois grass court tournament]
Andrew MurrayI have not got accustomed to English life. The food is truly disastrous and it rains all the time.
Patrice EvraI think he [Tony Blair] might well decide that the end of the G8 presidency (at the end of 2005) is the time to go. I don't think he would want to go in the middle of it.
Jeremy CorbynI'm a musician so you have to bear with me from time to time when I get into one of my more creative moods!
Chad HugoI am a very committed wife. And I should be committed too - for being married so many times.
Elizabeth TaylorIt was time for me to leave Cardiff, I think my Mum really wanted me to stay whatever happened!
Robert EarnshawI've been on a calendar, but I've never been on time.
Marilyn MonroeWe've spent a lot of time in the gym getting 'beasted' by the physio and I think the boys are looking fitter now than they have done for a while
Simon JonesWhen people actually try umpiring for more than a few balls at a time they suddenly realise how hard it is to concentrate for that length of time and get difficult decisions right.
Doug HarveyI can tell you where I was when Kennedy was shot - which was in the common room at school. I heard about it on the old valve radio. At the time of Armstrong's landing, I was at university rehearsing a play.
Sam NeillIt is strange how sometimes you write a tune and just think it is destined to be a hit - and isn't. But then you have the reverse where something you are not so sure of is just embraced and becomes massive.
Ron GlassWe are living in the machine age. For the first time in history the comedian has been compelled to supply himself with jokes and comedy material to compete with the machine. Whether he knows it or not, the comedian is on a treadmill to oblivion.
Fred AllenA friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?
Kahlil GibranThe mugger who is arrested is back on the street before the police officer, but the person mugged may not be back on the street for a long time, if ever.
Mario CuomoNobody knows what a woman feels or experiences but another woman. We are the nurturers and there are times when we need to be nurtured.
Dana PlatoI'll never forget when the movie started and the spaceship that kept going and going. By the time that thing passed overhead, I knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life. [on seeing Star Wars]
Dean DevlinGreat men hallow a whole people, and lift up all who live in their time.
Sydney SmithEvery time I see something terrible, it's like I see it at age 19. I keep a freshness that way.
Ralph NaderIt doesn't matter whether it's cricket, rugby union, rugby league - we all hate England. It's time to get square and knock them off in Marseille [Ozzy lost again]
John O'NeillYou can do only one thing at a time. I simply tackle one problem and concentrate all efforts on what I am doing at the moment.
Maxwell MaltzThere is no remedy for time misspent;
No healing for the waste of idleness,
Whose very languor is a punishment
Heavier than active souls can feel or guess.
Sir Aubrey De VereI do think people have suggested that it would be a good thing if the reporting were accurate on Al-Jazeera and if it were not slanted in ways that appear to be at times just purely inaccurate.
Condoleezza RiceLose not yourself in a far off time, seize the moment that is thine.
Johann Friedrich Von Schiller Christ is the foundation of all our hopes for time and for eternity. Oh, build on this divine foundation! All other foundations are sinking sand.
Robert Stuart MacArthurThe world makes up for all its follies and injustices by being damnably sentimental
Thomas HuxleyPeople wish to learn to swim and at the same time to keep one foot on the ground.
Marcel ProustThere's a lot of people in this world who spend so much time watching their health that they haven't the time to enjoy it.
Josh BillingsMy bill will be huge - I did try and reverse the charges a couple of times but he refused! [on persuading Owen to join Newcastle]
Alan ShearerAfter a goalless first half, the score at half time is 0-0.
Brian Moore It takes a long time for a man to look like his portrait
James McNeil WhistlerI take my son with me all of the time- I have a really good nanny, so they go with me to the trailer. They went with me every day on Profiler- but now that's he's 2, and he's going to be 3, and going to go to school, we need to have a life together, where I can take him to school.
Ally WalkerPeople of medicore ability sometimes achieve outstanding success because they don't know when to quit. Most men succeed because they are determined to.
George AllenI wish my parents had spent more time worrying about my education than me being a star
Shania TwainSometimes you find it very hard to work out how to achieve your aims, and then at the last minute a great idea comes into your mind that changes all that.
John FremontTime stands with impartial law
ManiliusTime goes, you say? Ah no! Alas, Time stays, we go. (The Paradox of Time)
