Keep Busy Quotes (page 5)

So it is with minds. Unless you keep them busy with some definite subject that will bridle and control them, they throw themselves in disorder hither and yon in the vague field of imagination... And there is no mad or idle fancy that they do not bring forth in the agitation. Michel de Montaigne
Michel de Montaigne quote: "My business is only to keep myself in motion, whilst motion..."
My business is only to keep myself in motion, whilst motion pleases me; I only walk for the walk's sake. Michel de Montaigne
Well, I know, of course, how important it is not to keep a business engagement, if one wants to retain any sense of the beauty of life. Oscar Wilde
The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. To be your own man is hard business. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself. Rudyard Kipling
I’ll keep it short and sweet - Family. Religion. Friendship. These are the three demons you must slay if you wish to succeed in business. Matt Groening
Tina Fey quote: "[T]he definition of 'crazy' in show business is a woman who..."
[T]he definition of 'crazy' in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to fuck her anymore. Tina Fey
Ray Bradbury quote: "He says I'm a regular onion! I keep him busy peeling away the..."
He says I'm a regular onion! I keep him busy peeling away the layers. Ray Bradbury
Autopsychography. The poet is a man who feigns. And feigns so thoroughly, at last. He manages to feign as pain. The pain he really feels, And those who read what once he wrote. Feel clearly, in the pain they read, Neither of the pains he felt, Only a pain they cannot sense. And thus, around its jolting track. There runs, to keep our reason busy, The circling clockwork train of ours. That men agree to call a heart. Fernando Pessoa
I have a suspicion - and hear me out, 'cause this is a rough one - I have a suspicion that the definition of "crazy" in show business is a woman who keeps talking even after no one wants to fuck her anymore. Tina Fey
Needless to say, the business of living interferes with the solitude so needed for any work of the imagination. Here's what Virginia Woolf said in her diary about the sticky issue: "I've shirked two parties, and another Frenchman, and buying a hat, and tea with Hilda Trevelyan, for I really can't combine all this with keeping all my imaginary people going. Virginia Woolf
- I'm so busy doing what I must do that I don't have time for what I ought to do... and I never get a chance to do what I want to do!- Son, that's universal. The way to keep that recipe from killing you is occasionally to do what you want to do anyhow. Robert A. Heinlein
There is nothing like suspense and anxiety for barricading a human's mind against the Enemy. He wants men to be concerned with what they do; our business is to keep them thinking about what will happen to them. C. S. Lewis
There are people in the public sector with a range of experiences that have no equivalent in business, but are essential to governing, like keeping a kid in school or helping someone get and hold a job. The value of those skills can't easily be measured against a bottom line. Dee Dee Myers
My training was that you fill in the canvas where it needs colour and polishing. You start with the words on the first night and keep adding bits of business. Ron Moody
There is no question that knowing someone in the business will get you in the door. But it is your skill that will keep you in the room. Vic Mignogna
