Fitness is a luxury when you are busy! ~ Lauren Conrad
Being Busy quotes by Lauren Conrad
Candace doesn't have to worry about me being busy in my world without you, because you are my world. ~ Vi Keeland
Being Busy quotes by Vi Keeland
Being busy is different from taking action. ~ Keshni Kashyap
Being Busy quotes by Keshni Kashyap
We've let too much time go by. We've been busy with war instead of being busy with peace. And that's what space travel is all about. It's all about peace and exploration and wonder and beauty. ~ Ray Bradbury
Being Busy quotes by Ray Bradbury
Nothing is easier than being busy and nothing more difficult than being effective. ~ R. Alec MacKenzie
Being Busy quotes by R. Alec MacKenzie
Our culture is obsessed with being busy, and I think it's crazy. I don't fill all my time. ~ Frazey Ford
Being Busy quotes by Frazey Ford
When we think we're multitasking we're actually multiswitching. That is what the brain is very good at doing - quickly diverting its attention from one place to the next. We think we're being productive. We are, indeed, being busy. But in reality we're simply giving ourselves extra work. ~ Michael Harris
Being Busy quotes by Michael Harris
I do like being busy. I'm not the kind of person who just sits around and goes to a spa when I'm not working. ~ Kate Winslet
Being Busy quotes by Kate Winslet
Being busy is not the same as being focused. Being focused means being here. ~ Augusten Burroughs
Being Busy quotes by Augusten Burroughs
Jay became an adult. He got a job, married a wife, and they had a child. Now he had so many things to take care! Like all other grown ups, he talked more of being busy than of being happy. He completely forgot the little bird singing beautiful songs in his heart. ~ Ilchi Lee
Being Busy quotes by Ilchi Lee
Being busy is not the same as being productive. ~ Timothy Ferriss
Being Busy quotes by Timothy Ferriss
Being busy is better than being bored. Bored left a long time ago. Busy is always around for me. ~ Tabitha Robin
Being Busy quotes by Tabitha Robin
What we call stress is just extension of being busy without meaning. When you do things that are not meaningful to you, just to get the sense of completion, just to feel like you got something done, your spirit feels empty. So, the most important thing for people to realize is that you have to control the flow of information in your life. ~ Tony Robbins
Being Busy quotes by Tony Robbins
We were always together. And we were happy. Looking at clouds. Rocking on the swings. Lying in the sun. We loved being busy doing nothing. ~ Terry Spencer Hesser
Being Busy quotes by Terry Spencer Hesser
I have only a few reasons to keep on running, and a truckload of them to quit. All I can do is keep those few reasons nicely polished. ~ Haruki Murakami
Being Busy quotes by Haruki Murakami
If you can remain with absolutely nothing to do for even a short period of time - that's a taste of freedom. Being busy is ok, not being busy is also ok. Not caring whether you're busy or not busy is really ok. ~ Art Hochberg
Being Busy quotes by Art Hochberg
Being busy does not always mean real work. The object of all work is production or accomplishment and to either of these ends there must be forethought, system, planning, intelligence, and honest purpose, as well as perspiration. Seeming to do is not doing ~ Thomas A. Edison
Being Busy quotes by Thomas A. Edison
Did you know there's a difference between being busy and being fruitful? Did you ever stop to think that just being busy - running around in circles all day but not accomplishing anything - is the same as wasting your time? It's frustrating to expend so much energy and time and not have any fruit from your effort! ~ Joyce Meyer
Being Busy quotes by Joyce Meyer
I like to see candidates who are busy finding what they are good at and what they enjoy. I call it being busy with a purpose - WHIM ~ Garrett Miller
Being Busy quotes by Garrett Miller
I feel like I'm too busy writing history to read it. ~ Kanye West
Being Busy quotes by Kanye West
I'm not going to lay off or quit just because I'm busy. If I used being busy as an excuse not to run, I'd never run again. I have only a few reasons to keep on running, and a truckload of them to quit. ~ Haruki Murakami
Being Busy quotes by Haruki Murakami
I love being busy. ~ Ashley Tisdale
Being Busy quotes by Ashley Tisdale
Being busy helping customers meant that I had no time to train the way I was used to, with an intense four-or five-hour workout each day. So I adopted the idea of training twice a day, two hours before work and two hours from seven to nine in the evening, when business slacked off and only the serious lifters were left. Split workouts seemed like an annoyance at first, but I realized I was onto something when I saw the results: I was concentrating better and recovering faster while grinding out longer and harder sets. On many days I would add a third training session at lunchtime. I'd isolate a body part that I thought was weak and give it thirty or forty minutes of my full attention, blasting twenty sets of calf raises, say, or one hundred triceps extensions. I did the same thing some nights after dinner, coming back to train for an hour at eleven o'clock. As I went to sleep in my snug little room, I'd often feel one or another muscle that I'd traumatized that day jumping and twitching-just a side effect of a successful workout and every pleasing, because I knew those fibers would now recover and grow. ~ Arnold Schwarzenegger
Being Busy quotes by Arnold Schwarzenegger
Life is not enjoyed by being busy over everything in general, but being passionate about one thing in particular. Always focus on that one thing; dream it and live it! ~ Israelmore Ayivor
Being Busy quotes by Israelmore Ayivor
While I am busy with little things, I am not required to do greater things. ~ Saint Francis De Sales
Being Busy quotes by Saint Francis De Sales
I have no social life. There is no time for one. Once in a while I may go to dinner with a friend but that is it. However I am much happier travelling and being busy competing in both my sports than having time off. ~ Liz Halliday
Being Busy quotes by Liz Halliday
There is a danger that we can confuse being busy with being entertained and being relaxed with being bored. ~ David Miller
Being Busy quotes by David Miller
A good man will not waste himself upon mean and discreditable work or be busy merely for the sake of being busy. ~ Seneca.
Being Busy quotes by Seneca.
There is a third choice besides being busy and killing time, something profound. ~ James Rozoff
Being Busy quotes by James Rozoff
He not busy being born is busy dying ~ Steve Jobs
Being Busy quotes by Steve Jobs
Don't confuse activity with productivity. Many people are simply busy being busy. ~ Robin Sharma
Being Busy quotes by Robin Sharma
Being busy and being productive are not necessarily the same. Many people keep busy to avoid taking action on things they're afraid to pursue. ~ Lauren Mackler
Being Busy quotes by Lauren Mackler
Being busy is a distraction and I am sure that doing nothing, resting and sleeping are all good cures for modern life. I am not suggesting we all do nothing but sleep, however, sometimes stopping long enough to 'be' can be very powerful. ~ Joanna Runciman
Being Busy quotes by Joanna Runciman
It was more that he did better being busy, keeping to a routine. It helped hold the black dogs of thought at bay. Also he had learned that a person could be happy with having done the best they could under the circumstances. It didn't always have to be bright and shiny and impressive to the outside observer. ~ Ellen Airgood
Being Busy quotes by Ellen Airgood
Secularity is a way of being dependent on the responses of our milieu. The secular or false self is the self which is fabricated, as Thomas Merton says, by social compulsions. 'Compulsive' is indeed the best adjective for the false self. It points to the need for ongoing and increasing affirmation. Who am I? I am the one who is liked, praised, admired, disliked, hated or despised. Whether I am a pianist, a businessman or a minister, what matters is how I am perceived by my world. If being busy is a good thing, then I must be busy. If having money is a sign of real freedom, then I must claim my money. If knowing many people proves my importance, I will have to make the necessary contacts. The compulsion manifests itself in the lurking fear of failure and the steady urge to prevent this by gathering more of the same - more work, more money, more friends. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Being Busy quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
My whole lifestyle is different. I have a really busy schedule, and I pretty much have an airplane ride every day. But I like it. It's cool. I like being busy. I think that it's good that I'm young and I'm going through this, and I'm not, like, 40. I think it's just easier now at a younger age to be going through what I'm going through because it's definitely really tiring and hard on the body. ~ Avril Lavigne
Being Busy quotes by Avril Lavigne
Inevitably we find ourselves tackling too many things at the same time, spreading our focus so thin that nothing gets the attention it deserves. This is commonly referred to as "being busy." Being busy, however, is not the same thing as being productive. ~ Ryder Carroll
Being Busy quotes by Ryder Carroll
One of the nice things about being busy is it makes you focus on what's important to you and how you use your time. ~ Lorne Michaels
Being Busy quotes by Lorne Michaels
Although our culture seems to worship being busy, constant activity will slowly undermine our perspective on life and kill our souls. ~ Sally Clarkson
Being Busy quotes by Sally Clarkson
In my experience, being busy and working hard is the key to sanity/happiness. ~ Jemima Khan
Being Busy quotes by Jemima Khan
Nothing is as certain as that the vices of leisure are gotten rid of by being busy. ~ Seneca The Younger
Being Busy quotes by Seneca The Younger
If you want something done, ask a busy person to do it. The more things you do, the more you can do. Lucille Ball

. ~ Lucille Ball
Being Busy quotes by Lucille Ball
This disease of being "busy" (and let's call it what it is, the dis-ease of being busy, when we are never at ease) is spiritually destructive to our health and wellbeing. It saps our ability to be fully present with those we love the most in our families, and keeps us from forming the kind of community that we all so desperately crave. ~ Omid Safi
Being Busy quotes by Omid Safi
The many contradictions in our lives – such as being home while feeling homeless, being busy while feeling bored, being popular while feeling lonely, being believers while feeling many doubts – can frustrate, irritate, and even discourage us. They make us feel that we are never fully present. Every door that opens for us makes us see how many more doors are closed.

But there is another response. These same contradictions can bring us into touch with a deeper longing, for the fulfillment of a desire that lives beneath all desires and that only God can satisfy. Contradictions, thus understood, create the friction that can help us move toward God. ~ Henri J.M. Nouwen
Being Busy quotes by Henri J.M. Nouwen
I like being busy and juggling a lot of things at the same time. I get bored easily, so I need to do a lot. ~ Ellen DeGeneres
Being Busy quotes by Ellen DeGeneres
The truth is despite the hard work and juggling required to keep the different facets of the frantic life afloat, the "superwoman" has one marvelous compensation. Being busy and being seen to be busy lets you off the hook. Buys you a way out of all aspects of your many roles you secretly despise ... like cleaning cupboards ... or entertaining your husband's business friends. When you combine wife, mother, career and all, each role become the perfect excuse for avoiding the worst aspects of the other. ~ Bettina Arndt
Being Busy quotes by Bettina Arndt
If we are paying attention to our lives, we'll recognise those defining moments. The challenge for so many of us is that we are so deep into daily distractions and 'being busy, busy' that we miss out on those moments and opportunities that - if jumped on - would get our careers and personal lives to a whole new level of wow. ~ Robin S. Sharma
Being Busy quotes by Robin S. Sharma
Being busy is most often used as a guise for avoiding the few critically important but uncomfortable actions. The options are almost limitless for creating "busyness": ~ Timothy Ferriss
Being Busy quotes by Timothy Ferriss
Are you too busy for improvement? Frequently, I am rebuffed by people who say they are too busy and have no time for such activities. I make it a point to respond by telling people, look, you'll stop being busy either when you die or when the company goes bankrupt. ~ Shigeo Shingo
Being Busy quotes by Shigeo Shingo
The fact that you are even here, alive, on this planet is a mathematical miracle, and you should not spend the time that you have being busy being miserable. ~ Philip DeFranco
Being Busy quotes by Philip DeFranco
Not being busy is something I worry about, but I think work begets work. ~ Dominic Monaghan
Being Busy quotes by Dominic Monaghan
Doing nothing is better than being busy doing nothing. ~ Lao-Tzu
Being Busy quotes by Lao-Tzu
Happiness is a matter of one's most ordinary and everyday mode of consciousness being busy and lively and unconcerned with self. ~ Iris Murdoch
Being Busy quotes by Iris Murdoch
He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good. ~ Rabindranath Tagore
Being Busy quotes by Rabindranath Tagore
The perfection of joyful determination is defined as taking delight or feeling joy in doing something positive or virtuous. If you are very joyful about doing negative things or about being busy with meaningless activities, this is not called joyful exertion from a Buddhist point of view. This kind of attitude is actually a form of laziness, an attachment to frivolous activities. Such a person would not be considered diligent at all. But if you are JOYFUL and DETERMINED TO PERFORM POSITIVE ACTIONS, then as a result, you discover and learn many new things that you didn't know about before. ~ Geshe Gyeltsen
Being Busy quotes by Geshe Gyeltsen
/You've been presented with a rare opportunity that,at the moment,remains unresolved. But why is the unknown a burden? It doesn't have to be. It can just as easily be the opposite - a kind of awakening to feel something. I don't just mean the Installation. Even before that. This is a chance to be taken out of your daily, weekly, monthly, yearly routine, regardless of the final outcome. Again . . . /This is for both of you. It's a chance to wake up. How many people live day to day in a kind of haze, moving from one thing to the next without ever feeling anything? Being busy without ever being absorbed or excited or renewed? Most people don't ever think about the full range of achievable existence; they just don't./ ~ Iain Reid
Being Busy quotes by Iain Reid
He awoke each morning with the desire to do right, to be a good and meaningful person, to be, as simple as it sounded and as impossible as it actually was, happy. And during the course of each day his heart would descend from his chest into his stomach. By early afternoon he was overcome by the feeling that nothing was right...By evening he was fulfilled: alone in the magnitude of his grief, alone in his aimless guilt, alone even in his loneliness. I am not sad, he would repeat to himself over and over, I am not sad. As if he might one day convince himself. Or fool himself. Or convince others--the only thing worse than being sad is for others to know that you are sad. I am not sad. I am not sad. ~ Jonathan Safran Foer
Being Busy quotes by Jonathan Safran Foer
I don't believe in being interested in a subject just because it's said to be important. I believe in being caught by it somehow or other. ~ Joseph Campbell
Being Busy quotes by Joseph Campbell
Our technological society has no longer any place in it for wisdom that seeks truth for its own sake, that seeks the fullness of being, that seeks to rest in an intuition of the very ground of all being. Without wisdom, the apparent opposition of action and contemplation, of work and rest, of involvement and detachment, can never be resolved. ~ Thomas Merton
Being Busy quotes by Thomas Merton
There are things coming from me that I felt I wanted to talk about. My search for my own blend of spirituality, my acknowledgement of my sexuality, my being the single mother of a young man. ~ Ana Castillo
Being Busy quotes by Ana Castillo
With the responsibility of being a professional athlete, I believe that it is on us to go out there and help people. ~ Torrey Smith
Being Busy quotes by Torrey Smith
It is a poor conclusion, is it not?' he observed, having brooded awhile on the scene he had just witnessed: 'an absurd termination to my violent exertions? I get levers and mattocks to demolish the two houses, and train myself to be capable of working like Hercules, and when everything is ready and in my power, I find the will to lift a slate off either roof has vanished! My old enemies have not beaten me; now would be the precise time to revenge myself on their representatives: I could do it; and none could hinder me. But where is the use? I don't care for striking: I can't take the trouble to raise my hand! That sounds as if I had been labouring the whole time only to exhibit a fine trait of magnanimity. It is far from being the case: I have lost the faculty of enjoying their destruction, and I am too idle to destroy for nothing.'Nelly, there is a strange change approaching; I'm in its shadow at present. I take so little interest in my daily life that I hardly remember to eat and drink. Those two who have left the room are the only objects which retain a distinct material appearance to me; and that appearance causes me pain, amounting to agony. About HER I won't speak; and I don't desire to think; but I earnestly wish she were invisible: her presence invokes only maddening sensations. HE moves me differently: and yet if I could do it without seeming insane, I'd never see him again! You'll perhaps think me rather inclined to become so,' he added, making an effort to smile, ' ~ Emily Bronte
Being Busy quotes by Emily Bronte
I think being an outsider in general always helps you in comedy. I think it helps to have an outsider's eye. And so I have an outsider's voice. You know, as soon as I start talking, I don't belong here. And I think that helps in a way. ~ John Oliver
Being Busy quotes by John Oliver
I try to live with few rules, but one that I've adopted over the years is this: if it's down to me being screwed up, or everybody else being screwed up, it is far, far, far more likely that I'm the one who's screwed up. I have learned this from experience. I have been the asshole acting out based on my own insecurities and flawed certainties more times than I can count. It's not pretty. ~ Mark Manson
Being Busy quotes by Mark Manson
Dignity is not located in seeking equality with the white man and his civilization: it is not about assuming the attitudes of the master who has allowed his slaves to eat at his table. It is about being oneself with all the multiplicities, systems and contradictions of one's way of being, doing and knowing. It is about being true to one's Self. ~ Ziauddin Sardar
Being Busy quotes by Ziauddin Sardar
Before I was married, I didn't consider my failure to manage even basic hand tools a feminist inadequacy. I thought it had more to do with being Jewish. The Jews I knew growing up didn't do 'do-it-yourself.' When my father needed to hammer something he generally used his shoe, and the only real tool he owned was a pair of needle-nose pliers. ~ Ayelet Waldman
Being Busy quotes by Ayelet Waldman
Just by being out you're doing your part. It's like recycling. You're doing your part for the environment if you recycle; you're doing your part for the gay movement if you're out. ~ Martina Navratilova
Being Busy quotes by Martina Navratilova
I absolutely love being on stage. I live and breathe the stage, and nothing makes me happier, but to perform. ~ Judith Hill
Being Busy quotes by Judith Hill
These will vary in every human being; but knowledge is the same for every mind, and every mind may and ought to be trained to receive it. ~ Frances Wright
Being Busy quotes by Frances Wright
When seeing the simple truth means recognizing that we're in sin, we would rather see things as being complicated. ~ Anna Sofia Botkin
Being Busy quotes by Anna Sofia Botkin
Responsibility means being able to respond to whatever situation you may face in your life. ~ Jaggi Vasudev
Being Busy quotes by Jaggi Vasudev
Being a person is respect, because you're not a cat or a dog or a bunch of tulips, you're a human person and humanness isn't like something there can be different amounts of, it's maxed out from the start, total respect every time - kill one, kill a trainload, you're dissing the transcendental is all. ~ Tom Stoppard
Being Busy quotes by Tom Stoppard
Courage is necessary to make being and becoming possible. ~ Rollo May
Being Busy quotes by Rollo May
This should be my favorite part, being held and crying with Big Bob without hope. We all work so hard all the time. This is the only place I ever really relax and give up. ~ Chuck Palahniuk
Being Busy quotes by Chuck Palahniuk
The real you, the inner you, is pure, very pure. It's loving and it's magnanimous. It understands. It has patience. It is tolerant-it will wait forever while your ego trots all over everywhere trying to figure life out. It is pleasing to remember that back home there is a friend who's waiting for you to stop being silly, who's waiting to welcome you with open arms if and when you show up. ~ Stuart Wilde
Being Busy quotes by Stuart Wilde
THE WORLD IS increasingly designed to depress us. Happiness isn't very good for the economy. If we were happy with what we had, why would we need more? How do you sell an anti-ageing moisturiser? You make someone worry about ageing. How do you get people to vote for a political party? You make them worry about immigration. How do you get them to buy insurance? By making them worry about everything. How do you get them to have plastic surgery? By highlighting their physical flaws. How do you get them to watch a TV show? By making them worry about missing out. How do you get them to buy a new smartphone? By making them feel like they are being left behind. To be calm becomes a kind of revolutionary act. To be happy with your own non-upgraded existence. To be comfortable with our messy, human selves, would not be good for business. ~ Matt Haig
Being Busy quotes by Matt Haig
In view of this and other things, I demand forgiveness for being so obviously impressed with my own parents. ~ Beryl Markham
Being Busy quotes by Beryl Markham
I don't know how to fit you in my world without hurting you too." The truth in my words revealed more than he'd ever know.
"Don't worry about hurting me," he replied calmly. "I like being a part of your world, and I understand that it's more complicated than you're willing to share with me. But I'll respect that, for now."
He pulled into the parking lot of a drugstore and put the car in park. Evan seemed nervous as he turned to speak to ne. He released a quick breath before he spoke. My chest tightened, afraid to hear what he had to say."
"I don't do this." His hands gestured between us. My eyes narrowed, trying to inerpret his meaning. He exhaled and looked out the windshield. "I don't stay, and I'm used to that. And I'm always prepared to leave-because I have to eventually.
He stopped again, frustrated with himself. I sat motionless, absolutely convinced I didn't want him to continue - but I couldn't bring myself to ask him to stop.
"I want to stay here," he finally decalred. "It would bother me if I left. I mean, I've already unpacked. ~ Rebecca Donovan
Being Busy quotes by Rebecca    Donovan
Zach had been on the receiving end of a few of Lanning's ass-chewings back in the day. They were epic sagas of righteous fury and perfectly applied touches of profanity. It was like being verbally disemboweled. ~ Christopher Farnsworth
Being Busy quotes by Christopher Farnsworth
When you laugh … it's like being handed a piece of you that no one else has ever seen. ~ Nashoda Rose
Being Busy quotes by Nashoda Rose
Liberals have shifted government into a position of being neutral between right and wrong. By concentrating power in government institutions, liberals chisel at the three pillars of society: the family unit, work ethic and faith. That's not good for America. ~ James G. Watt
Being Busy quotes by James G. Watt
If you want to know what's in motherhood for you, as a woman, then - in truth - it's nothing you couldn't get from, say, reading the 100 greatest books in human history; learning a foreign language well enough to argue in it; climbing hills; loving recklessly; sitting quietly, alone, in the dawn; drinking whisky with revolutionaries; learning to do close-hand magic; swimming in a river in winter; growing foxgloves, peas and roses; calling your mum; singing while you walk; being polite; and always, always helping strangers. No one has ever claimed for a moment that childless men have missed out on a vital aspect of their existence, and were the poorer, and crippled by it. ~ Caitlin Moran
Being Busy quotes by Caitlin Moran
Solitude is addictive. Being alone, but not lonely, is peaceful and inspiring. It gives you the strength to go back and deal with all the nonsense. ~ Karen Gibbs
Being Busy quotes by Karen Gibbs
Reminded of what a diet really is, I began eating more slowly, being more conscious of when I was full. I started to enjoy my buckwheat bread with goat cheese and pureed butternut-squash soup as a response to real hunger. ~ Kate Christensen
Being Busy quotes by Kate Christensen
I'm so tired of being lonely,she thought. In so tired of never going out, of never being with a boy,off never having a boy care about me. ~ R.L. Stine
Being Busy quotes by R.L. Stine
Sometimes, being normal is enough. There's nothing magick could offer me that I couldn't find a way to do without. ~ Hollow Ryan
Being Busy quotes by Hollow Ryan
When I was feeling more secure, I started to see his insecurities. Aren't relationships like that? It's like being on a seesaw. There are those precious moments when you're just even with each other, but you move through that, and then one person being down by definition means the other person is up. I knew he loved me, and I knew he was afraid. I discovered that, if you look, you can actually see everything. All you have to do is clear away your own fears. The things you think are so well hidden: we can all see them. That's the secret. Everyone can see everything. ~ Kate Morgenroth
Being Busy quotes by Kate Morgenroth
There is a lot to say about what Bikini Kill and other 'riot grrrl' bands were able to achieve when they first set out. They were not some momentary, convulsive, creative spasm of independent music. There was a very real, relevant point of view being expressed. ~ Henry Rollins
Being Busy quotes by Henry Rollins
Patti, did art get us?'
I looked away, not really wanting to think about it. 'I don't know, Robert. I don't know.'
Perhaps it did, but no one could regret that. Only a fool would regret being had by art; or a saint. ~ Patti Smith
Being Busy quotes by Patti Smith
You're trying to swim upstream against the current. What is there about the natural flow of the river of life that has shocked you so strongly that you should want to swim against the current, even against time? You ought to know you're lost even before you begin. I don't understand you but I love you and I suppose you are obeying the law of your being. ~ Francoise Gilot
Being Busy quotes by Francoise Gilot
And the fear of not being is born in that space. But in meditation, when this is understood, the mind can enter into a dimension of space where action is inaction. We do not know what love is, for in the space made by thought around itself as the me, love is the conflict of the me and the not-me. This conflict, this torture, is not love. Thought is the very denial of love, and it cannot enter into that space where the me is not. In that space is the benediction which man seeks and cannot find. He seeks it within the frontiers of thought, and thought destroys the ecstasy of this benediction. ~ Jiddu Krishnamurti
Being Busy quotes by Jiddu Krishnamurti
When Ellen Datlow was running the fiction at 'Omni' in the late '80s and into the '90s, I had a subscription. It was one of two subscriptions I'd saved for, the other being 'Spider-Man.' And they each opened my mind and my heart in wonderful ways. ~ Stephen Graham Jones
Being Busy quotes by Stephen Graham Jones
Good manners sometimes means simply putting up with other people's bad manners. ~ H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
Being Busy quotes by H. Jackson Brown, Jr.
To me, being a classical snob in the highest possible way and being an indie snob is just as bad! ~ Mika.
Being Busy quotes by Mika.
Where I come from, being a hard man is being able to take a good beating and then get back up again and carry on fighting. ~ Mickey Rourke
Being Busy quotes by Mickey Rourke
Excellence, then, is a state concerned with choice, lying in a mean, relative to us, this being determined by reason and in the way in which the man of practical wisdom would determine it. ~ Aristotle.
Being Busy quotes by Aristotle.
There is no glory in being a featherbed soldier, a man bedecked with gorgeous medals, but never beautified by a scar, or ennobled by a wound. All that you ever hear of such a soldier is that his spurs jingle on the pavement as he walks. There is no history for this carpet knight. He is just a dandy. He never smelled gunpowder in battle in his life. If he did, he fetched out his cologne to kill the offensive odor. Oh, if we could be wise enough to choose, even were as wise as the Lord Himself, we would choose the troubles which He has appointed to us, and we would not spare ourselves a single pang. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon
Being Busy quotes by Charles Haddon Spurgeon
When I rest my head on the couch I know that it's coming, coming like something in the mail, something sent away for. We know it is coming, but are not sure when
weeks? months? She is fifty one. I am twenty-one. My sister is twenty-three. My brothers are twenty-four and seven.
We are ready. We are not ready. People know.
Our house sits on a sinkhole. Our house is the one being swept up in the tornado, the little train-set model floating helplessly, pathetically around in the howling black funnel. We're weak and tiny. We're Grenada. There are men parachuting from the sky.
We are waiting for everything to finally stop working
the organs and systems, one by one, throwing up their hands
"The jig is up," says the endocrine; "I did what I could," says the stomach, or what's left of it; "We'll get em next time," adds the heart, with a friendly punch to the shoulder. ~ Dave Eggers
Being Busy quotes by Dave Eggers
If a composer could state in words what being a composer means, he would no longer need to be a composer. ~ Ned Rorem
Being Busy quotes by Ned Rorem
You have to realize that the game is played by people and not by robots. You have to try to get across in the broadcast the difference in personalities of these players, and that's part of the fun, of course, being in a position where you can pass along that knowledge because you represent the fan. ~ Martin Tyler
Being Busy quotes by Martin Tyler
