Brussels has become inefficient and very bureaucratic, which makes it slow to do things. The concept of the United States of Europe will never work.
My go-to winter recipe is beef and butternut squash stew, cooked in the slow oven all day.
As the Earth continues to slow, leap seconds will grow more common. Eventually we will need one every year, and then even more. Scientists could have avoided these awkward skips by choosing instead to adjust the duration of the second itself. Who would notice? That is what they did, in fact, until 1955.
It takes me time to realize things; I’m a speedy person but a slow thinker.
Perfection is attained by slow degrees; it requires the hand of time.
The rate of change is not going to slow down anytime soon. If anything, competition in most industries will probably speed up even more in the next few decades.
You have undertaken to cheat me. I won’t sue you, for the law is too slow. I’ll ruin you.
Reading off a Teleprompter is an easy skill to do passably well and a difficult skill to do very well. I still have room for improvement there. I still talk too fast and I’m trying to slow myself down.
My growth as an artist and a person has been so slow and gradual, it’s hard to make a story out of it.
Perhaps Obama is often slow to nail controversies because he needs time to live inside them for a while in his head. It’s unnerving for the rest of us, but even the haters, one feels, are made to think more deeply than they’d like before they return to the bickering and the games.
I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.
The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can’t just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don’t know them. It’s the same thing with a relationship.
Drive slow and enjoy the scenery – drive fast and join the scenery.
The field of ageing research is full of characters. We have hucksters claiming that cures for ageing can be bought and sold; prophetic seers, their hands extended for money, warning that immortality is nigh; and would-be Nobelists working methodically in laboratories in search of a pill to slow ageing.
Danger is part of my job. It’s always there, but you can’t think about it too much otherwise you start to be too slow.
My kids don’t slow down, but they like to hang just with us, with mum and dad. They play with us and we play, too.
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
I think my life has been transformed by the ability to take things that exist in the world and look at them more closely. I think that’s what art does at its best: it allows us to slow down.
‘Late bloomer’ is another way of saying ‘slow learner.’
By then, I was making the slow transition from classical biochemistry to molecular biology and becoming increasingly preoccupied with how genes act and how proteins are made.
In some units it may suppress the motor discharge altogether, in some it may merely slow the motor discharge thus lessening the wave frequency of the contraction and so the tension.
Human nature is not totally fixed, but on any realistic scale, evolutionary processes are much too slow to affect it.
For my shows, I don’t play too many slow songs.
I was surprised at how slow Froch was. We were able to beat him to the punch.
Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than you normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down.
Science is difficult and slow no matter who you are. The hours are long, and the glorious ‘aha’ days come only very infrequently. You have to keep believing that if you put in the hours, those days will indeed come!
Creating deluxe cuisine is like playing a sport. Always competitive. Always challenging. And if you slow down a bit, you can no longer return to the top level.
Dance is in the air, pirouettes, very difficult. Mime is on the floor, like Spanish dancing perhaps, and very often in slow motion.
Speed bumps, I was thinking, you know, you’re driving along, everything’s OK, and then there’s a speed bump to go, ‘Slow down.’ Go over it real slowly, and you hit the pedal, and you keep going, and I just thought it was kind of a nice metaphor for life.
I’m slow at everything I do.
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
I’m learning to work under pressure. Yesteryear songs are slow and demanding on the expressions.
You need a continuous picture of how things are evolving, and not a slow series of snapshots where you don’t know how frame A is related to frame B.
His act may start out slow, but it tapers off.
My advice to the tea party freshmen: Slow the galloping horses to a trot. Big government was built over decades; it can’t be dismantled in a year, especially when Democrats control the White House.
Things happen fast. That’s this league. You can’t slow down, because it’s going.
A woman – even if she is the primary breadwinner – really needs to keep in mind that at some point, she may have a diminished earning capacity because of the fact that she will bear children. Of course, this is case by case. I had two kids, and it didn’t really slow me down at all.
Some people get very confused about my game. They think it’s better if the court is slow, because I have a good defence. But the faster it is, the better for me. My spin is more painful for my opponents, my aggressive game works better.
They say with age your reflexes slow down. I’ve not felt it.
Once anthropology and geology had opened up the pre-recordkeeping darkness of humanity’s long, slow, sustained infancy as suitable grounds for speculation, writers began trying to imagine human existence as it must have been with only stone-age technology.
Many of the books I loved as a kid, that even my mother read as a child, are very slow going. Today’s children are not as patient. The best example of this is ‘The Secret Garden,’ which I adored as a child.
I am not surprised that this is a longer bit of work than many of us would have hoped. It is not where any of us would have hoped it is. And I think we need to give credit to the Republicans in Congress who have done everything they can to defeat every jobs bill and slow down the economy.
I love slow music.
Too many people limit their happiness and success by assuming that taking time off from work will send a negative message to their manager and slow their career advancement.
A lack of resources may slow you down, but don’t let it make you throw away a big idea. Give God five years, ten years, fifteen years, twenty years, twenty-five years, thirty years, forty years, or more. Give God all the time He needs to bring the resources to you!
Whether I’m doing a routine where I want to move people, or if I want to feel moved myself, I definitely tap into those moments where it’s not just dancing or movement. It might just be a hand gesture or just a slow look, or even just the way you slightly tip your head forward. These subtleties speak volumes.
I think it was wrong to take the decision to slow F1 down. It was much better in my day, when it was already a lot safer than it had been in the ’70s and ’80s, but you could still drive crazy fast.
But that is the only thing that slows me down is the system. No one, two or three was big enough to slow me down, only the system. It was the system that slowed me down to make my numbers fall. Not because I am older.
My game is – and I’m not saying I’m slow or anything like that, but my game is mental. My game is shooting; my game is efficiency. If I’m healthy, I feel like I can be effective for a long time.
L.A. is so slow. Everyone is so chill, and the weather, of course, makes everything better, but it’s just a different vibe.
If you can slow the biological process of aging, even a minor slowdown in the rate at which we age yields improvements in virtually every condition of frailty and disability and mortality that we see at later ages.
It’s impossible for China to keep 10 to 15% growth annually. The economy needed to slow down, and we have to learn to slow down.
Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
My father, though, could run very much faster. It was impossible to compete with him on the grass. But it was astonishing how slow old people were. Some of them could not run up a hill and called it trying to climb stairs.
I am growing and learning. There’s so much more that I want to accomplish and do. I’m gonna do it at whatever pace it happens. I’m not trying to rush anything or slow anything down.
Since I’m so slow, I have to be fairly choosy about the projects I take on, and it can’t be something that I’m only ‘sort of’ into. I knew that ‘The Stand’ would be an amazing challenge every month that would be a blast to illustrate.
If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.
I slow down when hiking. The rhythm of nature is more leisurely. The sun comes up, it moves across the sky, and you begin to synchronize to that rhythm.
