Initial enthusiasm is easy. Afterward, though, it is time to stand firm, even along the monotonous desert paths that we are called upon to traverse in this life–with the patience it takes to tread evenly, a patience in which the romanticism of the initial awakening subsides, so that only the deep, pure Yes... Joseph Ratzinger
But there may be a period, while the wings are just beginning to grow, when it cannot do so: and at that stage lumps on the shoulders- no one could tell by looking at them that they are going to be wings... C. S. Lewis
The trend of all knowledge at the present is to specialize, but archaeology has in it all the qualities that call for the wide view of the human race, of its growth from the savage to the civilized, which is seen in all stages of social and religious development. Margaret Murray
Graeme Murphy quote: "SDC has a great reputation for putting live music on stage."
SDC has a great reputation for putting live music on stage. Graeme Murphy
A writer can write in an attic, or on top of a bus. Or with a sharp stick in some wet cement. To act, an actor has to have words. A stage. a camera turning. Paul Muni
Sometimes you forget where the heck you are but when you get on stage, you know by the look on the people's faces and the accent in their voices where you might be. Jason Mraz
Jason Mraz quote: "Getting on stage is a bonus, that's my therapy, that's when I..."
Getting on stage is a bonus, that's my therapy, that's when I can tell stories and it all makes sense. Jason Mraz
When you find yourself on stage singing and you are embarrassed about what you are singing in front of your peers, then you have to think about your priorities. Alison Moyet
I got the chance to argue my first case in Supreme Court, a criminal case arising in Alabama that involved the right of a defendant to counsel at a critical stage in a capital case before a trial. Constance Baker Motley
I was lucky enough to get to perform on stage in front of 20 million people on TV, and 150 thousand in concerts. For 15 minutes I got to be a rock star, the 15 minutes is great! It turns into Spinal Tap after 20 minutes. Mark Mothersbaugh
