My Time Quotes (page 34)

My own father had always said the measure of a man wasn't how many times or how hard he got knocked down, but how fast he got back up. I made a pledge to myself that I would get up and emerge from this debacle better for having gone through it. I would live up to the expectation I had for myself. I would be the kind of man I wanted to be. Joe Biden
My reader, I know, is one who would not thank me for an elaborate reproduction of poetic first impressions; and it is well, inasmuch as I had neither time nor mood to cherish such; arriving as I did late, on a dark, raw, and rainy evening, in a Babylon and a wilderness, of which the vastness and the strangeness tried to the utmost any powers of clear thought and steady self-possession with which, in the absence of more brilliant faculties, Nature might have gifted me. Charlotte Bronte
My manners, abominable at times, can be sweet. As I grew older I became a drunk. Why? Because I like ecstasy of the mind. I'm a wretch. But I love, love. Jack Kerouac
Charles Dickens quote: "My advice is to never do tomorrow what you can do today...."
My advice is to never do tomorrow what you can do today. Procrastination is the thief of time. Charles Dickens
Jonathan Franzen quote: "My first hero was Thomas Edison, whose adult life had..."
My first hero was Thomas Edison, whose adult life had consisted entirely of free time. Jonathan Franzen
My father had taught me to be nice first, because you can always be mean later, but once you've been mean to someone, they won't believe the nice anymore. So be nice, be nice, until it's time to stop being nice, then destroy them. Laurell K. Hamilton
My name is Herbert Badgery. I am a hundred and thirty-nine years old and something of a celebrity. They come and look at me and wonder how I do it. There are weeks when I wonder the same, whole stretches of terrible time. It is hard to believe you can feel so bad and still not die. Peter Carey
My dearest one, it is not proper for men to be without names. There was a time when each man had a name of his own to distinguish him from all other men. So let us choose our names. I have read of a man who lived many thousands of years ago, and of all the names in these books, his is the one I wish to bear. He took the light of the gods and brought it to men, and he taught men to be gods. And he suffered for his deed as all bearers of light must suffer. His name is Prometheus. Ayn Rand
my mother, poor fish, wanting to be happy, beaten two or three times aweek, telling me to be happy: "Henry, smile! why don't you ever smile?"and then she would smile, to show me how, and it was thesaddest smile I ever saw Charles Bukowski
My daddy said, that the first time you fall in love, it changes you forever and no matter how hard you try, that feeling just never goes away. Nicholas Sparks
My sister's the type who religiously watches the fear segments of her local Eyewitness News broadcasts, retaining nothing but the headline...Everything is dangerous all of the time, and if it's not yet been pulled off the shelves, then it's certainly under investigation -- so there. David Sedaris
Jane Austen quote: "My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to expressed them."
My ideas flow so rapidly that I have not time to expressed them. Jane Austen
Robert A. Heinlein quote: "My old man says when it's time to be counted, the important..."
My old man says when it's time to be counted, the important thing is to be man enough to stand up. Robert A. Heinlein
My life was hurrying, racing tragically toward its end. And yet at the same time it was dripping so slowly, so very slowly now, hour by hour, minute by minute. One always has to wait until the sugar melts, the memory dies, the wound scars over, the sun sets, the unhappiness lifts and fades away. Simone de Beauvoir
Etta James quote: "My mother always told me, even if a song has been done a..."
My mother always told me, even if a song has been done a thousand times, you can still bring something of your own to it. Etta James
