I think it’s important to earn your fan base and not just try to immediately advance to the top. If you ride to the top quickly, you’re liable to fall as quickly. Take your time. It’s a long journey ahead of you as an artist. There’s nowhere that you’re supposed to be other than right now living inside of your art.

The thing which attracted me to Google and to the Internet in general is that it’s a great equalizer. I’ve always been struck by the fact that Google search worked the same, as long as you had access to a computer with connectivity, if you’re a rural kid anywhere or a professor at Stanford or Harvard.

Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.
26
27
We need to accept that the commandments of God aren’t just a long list of good ideas. They aren’t ‘life hacks’ from an Internet blog or motivational quotes from a Pinterest board.

I’ll never, ever be full. I’ll always be hungry. Obviously, I’m not talking about food. Growing up, I had nothing for such a long time. Someone told me a long time ago, and I’ve never forgotten it, ‘Once you’ve ever been hungry, really, really hungry, then you’ll never, ever be full.’

Every time I imagine a garden in an architectural setting, it turns into a magical place. I think of gardens I have seen, that I believe I have seen, that I long to see, surrounded by simple walls, columns, arcades or the facades of buildings – sheltered places of great intimacy where I want to stay for a long time.

I don’t like the word ‘balance.’ To me, that somehow conjures up conflict between work and family… as long as we think of these things as conflicting, we will never have happiness. True happiness comes from integration… of work, family, self, community.
53
54
I love long power walks in the countryside.
55
56
I really like how the characters always has to go through some type of long journey that’s like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She’s always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat – I love that.

I think what we’re attracted to on the page is something that is very difficult to do in life, which is to examine in what seems like a moment. To examine what we can’t do in life very well, which is to be as present and accountable to what an experience is. That’s why life is short and art is very long.
63
Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.

150
You do things when the opportunities come along. I’ve had periods in my life when I’ve had a bundle of ideas come along, and I’ve had long dry spells. If I get an idea next week, I’ll do something. If not, I won’t do a damn thing.

178

183
184
When my son was growing up, I was always guilty, no matter what I did. Make decisions and be happy with the decisions you’ve made. I tell myself, in the long run, it’s the love, the quality of relationships that you have with your family, your friends and giving back to the community that matters.

There was one film that I really wanted. This was a long time ago; it was a film called ‘Fracture.’ Ryan Gosling ended up doing it with Anthony Hopkins.

191
192
Sarcasm I now see to be, in general, the language of the devil; for which reason I have long since as good as renounced it.
193
194
195
My grandmother told me a long time ago, ‘I don’t care if you’re sweeping a porch for a living.’ She said, ‘You need to do your best.’ So I’ve lived by that every single day.
196
The thing about local government is they want to hear what local people think, but for the most part, their systems are so long, dull and bureaucratic that people only get involved when there’s an issue they really care about.
197
198
I asked long ago,’What must I do to be saved?’ The Scripture answered, ‘Keep the commandments, believe, hope, love.’ I was early warned against laying, as the Papists do, too much stress on outward works, or on a faith without works, which as it does not include, so it will never lead to true hope or charity.

204
As long as you are being true to yourself, you will always find happiness.
205
Since our society equates happiness with youth, we often assume that sorrow, quiet desperation, and hopelessness go hand in hand with getting older. They don’t. Emotional pain or numbness are symptoms of living the wrong life, not a long life.
206
Sometimes a little comfort food can go a long way.
207
Good times don’t last long sometimes.
208
If you go back a few hundred years, what we take for granted today would seem like magic – being able to talk to people over long distances, to transmit images, flying, accessing vast amounts of data like an oracle. These are all things that would have been considered magic a few hundred years ago.

210
211
212
213
I long for the countryside. That’s where I get my calm and tranquillity – from being able to come and find a spot of green.
214

227
228
A sense of humor is great – it goes a long, long way in a marriage.
229
You can’t grow long-term if you can’t eat short-term. Anybody can manage short. Anybody can manage long. Balancing those two things is what management is.
230
Although our intellect always longs for clarity and certainty, our nature often finds uncertainty fascinating.
231
232
233
Cutting the deficit by gutting our investments in innovation and education is like lightening an overloaded airplane by removing its engine. It may make you feel like you’re flying high at first, but it won’t take long before you feel the impact.
234
235
Professionalism is not sportsmanship. If you don’t succeed, you won’t be in your profession for long. In our society, it’s not about good or bad. It’s about who’s on top.
236
237
Most people don’t care if you’re telling them the truth or if you’re telling them a lie, as long as they’re entertained by it. You find that out really fast.
238
239
In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted.

243
244
The upward course of a nation’s history is due in the long run to the soundness of heart of its average men and women.
245
The world is like a reverse casino. In a casino, if you gamble long enough, you’re certainly going to lose. But in the real world, where the only thing you’re gambling is, say, your time or your embarrassment, then the more stuff you do, the more you give luck a chance to find you.
246
Owing to the difficulty of dealing with substances of high molecular weight we are still a long way from having determined the chemical characteristics and the constitution of proteins, which are regarded as the principal con-stituents of living organisms.
247
Two persons cannot long be friends if they cannot forgive each other’s little failings.
248
249
250
A positive attitude is not going to save you. What it’s going to do is, everyday, between now and the day you die, whether that’s a short time from now or a long time from now, that every day, you’re going to actually live.
251
I’m continually trying to make choices that put me against my own comfort zone. As long as you’re uncomfortable, it means you’re growing.
252
I have always thought that the rapid economic development of South Africa would in the long run prove to be incompatible with the government’s racial policies, and recent events have tended to confirm my opinion.
253
The problem with Russia is not corruption per se, or even Putin per se. Russian government is not corrupt because Vladimir Putin has absolute power. Russian government has been corrupt and will always be as long as anyone has absolute power.
254
255
256
257
258
As long as you pray and believe in your dreams, anything is possible.
259
260
It’s a long old road, but I know I’m gonna find the end.
261
In the long run, we shape our lives, and we shape ourselves. The process never ends until we die. And the choices we make are ultimately our own responsibility.
262
As long as white people put people of color, African Americans and Latinos, in the same dispensable bag, and look at our children of color as insignificant and treat women of color as not as deserving of protection as white women, we will never achieve true equality.
263
I can’t imagine having long hair anymore; it’s weird.
264
265

266
267
268
269
270
271
272
I don’t believe in guilt; I believe in living on impulse as long as you never intentionally hurt another person. And don’t judge people in your life. I think you should live completely free.
273
I don’t envy people with long hair. So, I’m glad mine is gone.
274
275
276
Progress was all right. Only it went on too long.
277
It’s one of these things that I’ve been struck by for so long about America. You know, this amazing politeness of American life that’s not at all class specific. It’s not like people get more polite as ascend the hierarchy of society. Just incredible good manners. It’s always been something that I’ve noticed.
278
The struggle goes on. The victory is in the struggle, for me. And I accepted that a long time ago.
279

282
283
284
285
Everybody starts at the top, and then has the problem of staying there. Lasting accomplishment, however, is still achieved through a long, slow climb and self-discipline.

288
May you live as long as you wish and love as long as you live.

290
As often as you fail, get up and try again. God will never let you down, so long as you don’t let Him down, and so long as you make the effort.
291
292
293
If we say it long enough eventually we’re going to reap a harvest. We’re going to get exactly what we’re saying.
294
295
296
The art is long, life is short.
297
You live as long as you dance.
298
Movie directors, or should I say people who create things, are very greedy and they can never be satisfied… That’s why they can keep on working. I’ve been able to work for so long because I think next time, I’ll make something good.
299
It took me a long time not to judge myself through someone else’s eyes.
300
I’ve worked in a factory. I was a garbage man. I worked in a post office. It’s not that long ago. I like to think that I’m just a regular guy.

306
307

310
311
312

317
318
319

320
321
322
323
324
My contribution to the world is my ability to draw. I will draw as much as I can for as many people as I can for as long as I can.

327
328
I don’t think that you can invent on behalf of customers unless you’re willing to think long-term, because a lot of invention doesn’t work. If you’re going to invent, it means you’re going to experiment, and if you’re going to experiment, you’re going to fail, and if you’re going to fail, you have to think long term.
329
330

343
344
What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I’m happy.
345

346
For too long in this society, we have celebrated unrestrained individualism over common community.
347
We do not know what the rules of the game are; all we are allowed to do is to watch the playing. Of course, if we watch long enough, we may eventually catch on to a few of the rules. The rules of the game are what we mean by fundamental physics.
348
I long, as does every human being, to be at home wherever I find myself.
349
350
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.

Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.
352
You know, if I tell the press that I like long blonde hair, the next day there will be girls with long hair wigs outside waiting for me.
353
While one man can discover a certain thing by himself, another is never able to understand it, even if taught by means of all possible expressions and metaphors, and during a long period; his mind can in no way grasp it, his capacity is insufficient for it.
354

359
I can’t imagine going back to long hair. Cutting it was the greatest thing I ever did.
360
361
This will remain the land of the free only so long as it is the home of the brave.
362
I don’t care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating.
363
364
A man can be himself only so long as he is alone, and if he does not love solitude, he will not love freedom, for it is only when he is alone that he is really free.
365
I’ve had long hair, I’ve had short hair, and I’ve had in between hair… and its all good.
366
367
I’m cool with failing so long as I know that there are people around me that love me unconditionally.
368
We have talked long enough in this country about equal rights. It is time now to write the next chapter – and to write it in the books of law.
369
It’s all right letting yourself go, as long as you can get yourself back.
370
Dreams will get you nowhere, a good kick in the pants will take you a long way.
371
372
I wouldn’t say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it.
373
374
I can stand in a crystal stream without another human around me and cast all day long, and if I never catch a single fish, I can come home and still feel like I had a wonderful time. It’s the being there that’s important.
375
The thing is, we live in a contemporary world, and being able to make yourself the best person you can possible be can be difficult. But as long as you’re trying to figure it out, and you’re really looking in the right direction, everything’s going to be all right.
376
377
It’s hard to say what I want my legacy to be when I’m long gone.
378
A week is a long time in politics.
379
380
Looking back, I’m really happy with the choices I’ve made in my career. I know for a fact I could be wealthier. Who knows, maybe I could be more successful, maybe not. I don’t know. But just about every single thing I’ve ever done I’ve gone into with the right intentions, and that goes a long way.
381
It’s been a long way, but we’re here.
382
Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
383
I believe that singing is the key to long life, a good figure, a stable temperament, increased intelligence, new friends, super self-confidence, heightened sexual attractiveness, and a better sense of humor.
384
Living is like working out a long addition sum, and if you make a mistake in the first two totals you will never find the right answer. It means involving oneself in a complicated chain of circumstances.
385
Life is too short for a long story.
386
Don’t keep a man guessing too long – he’s sure to find the answer somewhere else.
387
388
Men of age object too much, consult too long, adventure too little, repent too soon, and seldom drive business home to the full period, but content themselves with a mediocrity of success.
389
The end may justify the means as long as there is something that justifies the end.
390
As long as I live, I will never forget that day 21 years ago when I raised my hand and took the oath of citizenship. Do you know how proud I was? I was so proud that I walked around with an American flag around my shoulders all day long.
391
No business can stay in business without customers. How you treat – or mistreat – them determines how long your doors stay open.
392
393
The only real power comes out of a long rifle.
394
It ain’t no sin if you crack a few laws now and then, just so long as you don’t break any.
395
No one escapes the long arm of the law, they are a business, they are very good at what they do and eventually they will catch up with you.
396
Sometimes, the aftermath is more devastating than the storm. That is the story of the 2008 financial crisis. It was disastrous at the time, but what has been worse is how long it has lingered.
397
398
Long run is a misleading guide to current affairs. In the long run we are all dead.
399
No man, who continues to add something to the material, intellectual and moral well-being of the place in which he lives, is left long without proper reward.
400
As long as I breathe, I attack.
401
I like good music, whichever lane it comes out of. As long as it’s dope, that is all that matters with me.
402
403
If you stick around long enough, you’re going to become fashionable eventually.
404
The first requirement of politics is not intellect or stamina but patience. Politics is a very long run game and the tortoise will usually beat the hare.
405
406
407
I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
408
409
The good woman, who makes all the sacrifices is always the one with long hair.
410
411
412
So long as a man imagines that he cannot do this or that, so long as he is determined not to do it; and consequently so long as it is impossible to him that he should do it.
413
I have long maintained that each of us has three chances a day to be happy: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
414
415
416
417
Stick to your true north – build greatness for the long term.
418
At the end of the day, you are solely responsible for your success and your failure. And the sooner you realize that, you accept that, and integrate that into your work ethic, you will start being successful. As long as you blame others for the reason you aren’t where you want to be, you will always be a failure.
419
The short hair fits my personality more. I think maybe, with long hair, it was a role – I was playing dress-up a bit.
420
I have lived a long life, and I am proud that I spend the whole of my life in the service of my people. I am only proud of this and nothing else. I shall continue to serve until my last breath, and when I die, I can say, that every drop of my blood will invigorate India and strengthen it.
421
I think romance is anything honest. As long as it’s honest, it’s so disarming.
422
Those who today always look for disciplinarian solutions, those who long for an exaggerated doctrinal ‘security,’ those who stubbornly try to recover a past that no longer exists – they have a static and inward-directed view of things. In this way, faith becomes an ideology among other ideologies.
423
The only sense that is common in the long run, is the sense of change and we all instinctively avoid it.
424
425
I gave up my struggle with perfection a long time ago. That is a concept I don’t find very interesting anymore. Everyone just wants to look good in the photographs. I think that is where some of the pressure comes from. Be happy. Be yourself, the day is about a lot more.
426
The most successful businessman is the man who holds onto the old just as long as it is good, and grabs the new just as soon as it is better.
427
You can do anything as long as you have the passion, the drive, the focus, and the support.
428
As long as you are winning it is a good day.
429
You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
430
431
Obviously, as you grow up, no one’s ever 100 percent proud of every decision that they’ve made, and that’s OK. I think as long as you learn from your mistakes and don’t make them over and over again, you’re on the right path.
432
You think dogs will not be in heaven? I tell you, they will be there long before any of us.
433
No matter how long he lives, no man ever becomes as wise as the average woman of forty-eight.
434
435
436
I don’t feel comfortable with the glorification of violence. But, as an actor who has had long periods of unemployment, you have to be lenient with your convictions.
437
As long as you have discipline, you can be a success. Discipline is what makes you do everything you need to do.
438
439
It doesn’t matter when you get married as long as it is the right person.
440
441
The road to recovery will not always be easy, but I will take it one day at a time, focusing on the moments I’ve dreamed about for so long.
442
443
I have made it a rule of my life to trust a man long after other people gave him up, but I don’t see how I can ever trust any human being again.
444
The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run.
445
I believe if religion brings you to a sense of peace, that’s beautiful. But I also believe if religion’s not your thing, that’s fine, too, just so long as you’re a good person and you find that one thing that leads you to peace and teaches you to have harmony with yourself and other people around you.
446
447
448
I like someone who embraces life; who wants to be on a long journey but has no particular plan or destination in mind. An adventurous man, open to the concept of living life in the moment.
449
450
451
There is no hunting like the hunting of man, and those who have hunted armed men long enough and liked it, never care for anything else thereafter.
452
453
All truth, in the long run, is only common sense clarified.
454
It’s a long journey. There will be good times, and there will be bad times, but SoftBank is always there.
455
A person who can write a long letter with ease, cannot write ill.
456
457
Life is short, but it’s long enough to ruin any man who wants to be ruined.
458
In the long run, men hit only what they aim at. Therefore, they had better aim at something high.
459
460
Nothing is so discouraging to an actor than to have to work for long hours upon hours in brightly lighted interior sets.
461
Too long a sacrifice can make a stone of the heart. O when may it suffice?
462
463
A child-like man is not a man whose development has been arrested; on the contrary, he is a man who has given himself a chance of continuing to develop long after most adults have muffled themselves in the cocoon of middle-aged habit and convention.
464
You only have to do a very few things right in your life so long as you don’t do too many things wrong.
465
Truth is mysterious, elusive, always to be conquered. Liberty is dangerous, as hard to live with as it is elating. We must march toward these two goals, painfully but resolutely, certain in advance of our failings on so long a road.
466
I’m in love with wigs. I get them custom-made, and I have my hairstylist shape them to my head. I can go from short to long in less than a minute!
467
As you get older, the questions come down to about two or three. How long? And what do I do with the time I’ve got left?
468
Even if I ain’t the famous-est, the richest, the best – as long as I know I kept it real and didn’t backstab nobody – I sleep good at night.
469
470
471
472
473
Negative peace is possible as long as you have a strong army.
474
If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
475
476
Every man desires to live long, but no man wishes to be old.
477
They say an elephant never forgets. Well, you are not an elephant. Take notes, constantly. Save interesting thoughts, quotations, films, technologies… the medium doesn’t matter, so long as it inspires you.
478
As long as I’m learning something, I figure I’m OK – it’s a decent day.
479
People say women shouldn’t have long hair over a certain age, but I’ve never done what everyone says.
480
481
If it’s the right chair, it doesn’t take too long to get comfortable in it.
482
483
It is not easy to see how the more extreme forms of nationalism can long survive when men have seen the Earth in its true perspective as a single small globe against the stars.
484
485
486
487
488
The mind is the limit. As long as the mind can envision the fact that you can do something, you can do it, as long as you really believe 100 percent.
489
490
491
As long as you keep going, you’ll keep getting better. And as you get better, you gain more confidence. That alone is success.
492
493
May you live as long as you want and not want as long as you live.
494
For a long time, men weren’t respecting women. They weren’t understanding Mother Earth, Mother Nature, the Motherland, all the motherly stuff. And now we are.
495
The time is long overdue to stop looking for progress through racial or ethnic leaders. Such leaders have too many incentives to promote polarizing attitudes and actions that are counterproductive for minorities and disastrous for the country.
496
Things of this world are in so constant a flux, that nothing remains long in the same state.
497
I have no fear of photography as long as it cannot be used in heaven and in hell.
498
499
Look for yourself, and you will find in the long run only hatred, loneliness, despair, rage, ruin, and decay. But look for Christ, and you will find Him, and with Him everything else thrown in.
500
Live all you can; it’s a mistake not to. It doesn’t so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven’t had that what have you had?
501
As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want.
502
For a long time I tried to manage an honesty and openness about my personal life because I’m human and I’m normal – well, semi-normal.
503
504
To have long term success as a coach or in any position of leadership, you have to be obsessed in some way.
505
506
‘The bigtime for you is just around the corner.’ They told me that first in 1952 – boy, it’s been a long corner. If I don’t hit the bigtime in the next 25 or 30 years, I’m gonna pack in the music business and become a full-time gigolo.
507
The days are long, but the years are short.
508
Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?
509
As long as you are doing things with a smile on your face, and you are having fun, then you are being unfiltered.
510
511
512
513
I have learned that as long as I hold fast to my beliefs and values – and follow my own moral compass – then the only expectations I need to live up to are my own.
514
People are too durable, that’s their main trouble. They can do too much to themselves, they last too long.
515
If your access to health care involves your leaving work and driving somewhere and parking and waiting for a long time, that’s not going to promote healthiness.
516
517
If you quit every time you face a new challenge, giving up can change how you view yourself. You may begin to think you’re weak or that you’re a failure because you can’t seem to stick with things long enough to see positive results.
518
519
It doesn’t matter how you look. As long as you train hard, you focus and you’re hungry, and that drive is in you to follow your dreams, everything is possible.
520
Over the long haul of life on this planet, it is the ecologists, and not the bookkeepers of business, who are the ultimate accountants.
521
The secret of a long life is to never trust a doctor.
522
523
The history of the past is but one long struggle upward to equality.
524
It’s been a long road for me, with a lot of ups and downs. Thankfully there have been more ups than there have been downs. For me, what brings me down has only made me stronger because of it.
525
526
As long as I’m enjoying swimming, I will keep swimming.
527
528
If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.
529
I think that if you live long enough, you realize that so much of what happens in life is out of your control, but how you respond to it is in your control. That’s what I try to remember.
530
There is only one difference between a long life and a good dinner: that, in the dinner, the sweets come last.
531
532
It doesn’t matter whether you are rich or poor – as long as you’ve got money.
533
For a long time, society put obstacles in the way of women who wanted to enter the sciences.
534
If I’d known I was going to live this long, I’d have taken better care of myself.
535
536
537
538
It’s not how fast you get there, but how long you stay.
539
As long as you know yourself and you got good people around you and you passionate about what you do, that’s all that matters because at the end of the day, you go to sleep with the people you love, you wake up with the people you love, and you spend your time with the people you love.
540
541
I’m a fan of the kind of political correctness that is about not promoting prejudice. But some people in America are offended by equality because when you’ve had privilege for so long, equality feels like oppression.
542
543
Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Nor does it ever last as long as you think.
544
No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough.
545
I am truly blessed to have been a part of the MTV family for so long.
546
It has long been known for sure that the sight of tasty food makes a hungry man’s mouth water; also lack of appetite has always been regarded as an undesirable phenomenon, from which one might conclude that appetite is essentially linked with the process of digestion.
547
548
Time stays long enough for anyone who will use it.
549
Nothing happens in a vacuum in life: every action has a series of consequences, and sometimes it takes a long time to fully understand the consequences of our actions.
550
Justice should remove the bandage from her eyes long enough to distinguish between the vicious and the unfortunate.
551
552
553
As long as every tournament, every year, you’re getting better and better, that’s all that matters.
554
There’s something special about racing in real streets. The ‘artificial‘ circuits have a certain sameness to them. But every race conducted on real streets has a character of its own – Barcelona, Monaco, and now Long Beach.
555
You only have power over people so long as you don’t take everything away from them. But when you’ve robbed a man of everything, he’s no longer in your power – he’s free again.
556
You must become an old man in good time if you wish to be an old man long.
557
If you have a life which is adrenaline-charged all week long because you’re a powerful CEO, or you have responsibilities and you’re committed to the people you look after, it’s very difficult on weekends to sit around the garden. So you probably look for something which gives you the same sort of adrenaline buzz.
558
Standing as I do, with my hand upon this staff, and under the folds of the American flag, I ask you to stand by me so long as I stand by it.
559
If you are poor, you are not likely to live long.
560
As long as we’re united, and as long as we continue to organize, invest, and lead with our values, we’ll be unstoppable.
561
It’s not easy to run a social media account over a long period of time, but we love communicating with our fans every day and night.
562
The fact is that the learning process goes on, and so long as the voices are not stilled and the singers go on singing some of it gets through.
563
I’ve had a long, long road with lots of ups and downs. But that’s all behind me now.
564
565
Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. The fearful are caught as often as the bold.
566
Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don’t have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.
567
It had long since come to my attention that people of accomplishment rarely sat back and let things happen to them. They went out and happened to things.
568
Any colour – so long as it’s black.
569
So long as you’ve got your friends about you, and a good positive attitude, you don’t really have to care what everyone else thinks.
570
I’m in favour of innovation, just as long as the game does not suffer for it.
571
572
As long as you’re having fun, that’s the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it’s over.
573
574
The future enters into us, in order to transform itself in us, long before it happens.
575
576
577
Democracy… while it lasts is more bloody than either aristocracy or monarchy. Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There is never a democracy that did not commit suicide.
578
Socialism violates at least three of the Ten Commandments: It turns government into God, it legalizes thievery and it elevates covetousness. Discussions of income inequality, after all, aren’t about prosperity but about petty spite. Why should you care how much money I make, so long as you are happy?
579
We die only once, and for such a long time.
580
I have brought myself, by long meditation, to the conviction that a human being with a settled purpose must accomplish it, and that nothing can resist a will which will stake even existence upon its fulfillment.
581
As long as I live I will have control over my being.
582
Rome will exist as long as the Coliseum does; when the Coliseum falls, so will Rome; when Rome falls, so will the world.
583
A man is what he thinks about all day long.
584
Kevin Systrom of Instagram used to work for us as a consultant in the early days of Mint. I knew him a long time ago. Maybe I could have gotten in there. But with photo sharing, I don’t know if there’s an obvious business model. I don’t think there’s a competitive, sustainable advantage.
585
Disneyland will never be completed. It will continue to grow as long as there is imagination left in the world.
586
Some say that the age of chivalry is past, that the spirit of romance is dead. The age of chivalry is never past, so long as there is a wrong left unredressed on earth.
587
588
589
590
As long as I have health and strength, I will gladly work all my days.
591
Nothing very very good and nothing very very bad ever lasts for very very long.
592
My day starts at 5 A.M. and gets over at 10:30 P.M. Its a long day but I love it… I can’t sit idle.
593
594
I’ve studied authoritarianism for a very long time – for 40 years – and they’re started by people’s attempts to control the ideological and linguistic territory.
595
I believe that pluralistic secularism, in the long run, is a more deadly poison than straightforward persecution.
596
597
I’ve always had long hair and it’s something I’m proud of.
598
Character is simply habit long continued.
599
I think the best thing I can do is to be a distraction. A husband lives and breathes his work all day long. If he comes home to more table thumping, how can the poor man ever relax?
600
601
I was 24 when I was embroiled in a high-profile lawsuit. This was 2014, long before, en masse and on social media, we said #MeToo and #TimesUp. At the time, I felt completely alone. Visceral, hateful online harassment from strangers left me paranoid and anxious for years afterward.
602
603
I been a long time leaving but I’m going to be a long time gone.
604
605
As long as anger, paranoia and misinformation drive our political debate, there are unhinged souls among us who will feel justified in turning to violent remedies for imagined threats.
606
I played football for a long time when I was a kid, and then I went to art college and turned my back on it. Because of that, my toes are mangled; they’ve been broken. They’re like hooves or talons. They’re disgusting. I’d never get them out.
607
608
609
Truth lives, in fact, for the most part on a credit system. Our thoughts and beliefs pass, so long as nothing challenges them, just as bank-notes pass so long as nobody refuses them.
610
611
612
I’ve never wanted anybody to like me because I had long hair or short hair, or that they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I dressed or they liked the way I smile.
613
I’ve wanted to be a parent for a really long time, and I’m going to make sure I’m doing everything I can to be present in her life, to be her mother. I don’t want to be absent from her life.
614
Every good relationship, especially marriage, is based on respect. If it’s not based on respect, nothing that appears to be good will last very long.
615
Nations keep agreements, keep their treaties so long as they continue to do them good.
616
617
618
Freedom is not an instantaneous holiday, as we once dreamed. It is a road. A long road. We know this now.
619
Time always seems long to the child who is waiting – for Christmas, for next summer, for becoming a grownup: long also when he surrenders his whole soul to each moment of a happy day.
620
621
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.
622
623
Egypt gave birth to what later would become known as ‘Western Civilization,’ long before the greatness of Greece and Rome.
624
625
626
627
If you persevere long enough, if you do the right things long enough, the right things will happen.
628
It’s too bad that ‘Dragon Ball,’ which I drew for a very long time, has ended. Just kidding. I’m incredibly glad. Now I can just leisurely sit around!
629
Too many Christians have a commitment of convenience. They’ll stay faithful as long as it’s safe and doesn’t involve risk, rejection, or criticism. Instead of standing alone in the face of challenge or temptation, they check to see which way their friends are going.
630
If I went by all the rejection I’ve had in my career, I should have given up a long time ago.
631
It’s been a long journey. Continued to work through my rookie year. I was hurt a lot. Up and down.
632
Unfortunately, we can never truly know if we’re making the right decision. What we do know is that wherever we are, that’s where the Light wants us to be. It’s the best place for us to be now. And as long as we don’t try to control the situation, then we won’t end up in the place we shouldn’t be.
633
You must learn from the mistakes of others. You can’t possibly live long enough to make them all yourself.
634
635
Through a long and painful process, I’ve learned that happiness is an inside job – not based on anything or anyone in the outer material world. I’ve become a different and better person – not perfect, but still a work in progress.
636
637
Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.
638
639
A man will be imprisoned in a room with a door that’s unlocked and opens inwards; as long as it does not occur to him to pull rather than push.
640
641
I see that it is impossible to remember a long poem without practice and repetition; so is forgetfulness of the words of instruction engendered in the heart that has ceased to value them.
642
643
Humans are terrible at predicting the future. We really overestimate what we can do in the short term and underestimate what we can do in the long term… If we can glimpse even a couple of years into the future, even that’s difficult to do.
644
I’m an audiophile and have been collecting records for as long as I can remember.
645
646
Nothing’s ever easy as long as you go on living.
