When people show loyalty to you, you take care of those

Beth Ditto
People often ask how my hair has that supreme fullness even at midnight. Here’s a trick that one of our Fox News stylists taught me: Backcomb your hair just at the crown for height, and then put a large velcro roller there and wear it for as long as you can. I keep rollers in until showtime.

Langston Hughes
I was never one to patiently pick up broken fragments a

Professionalism is not sportsmanship. If you don't succ

Henry David Thoreau

I started out really young, when I was four, five, six, writing poems, before I could play an instrument.

Willie Nelson
We need to accept that the commandments of God aren't j

Simone de Beauvoir
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Henry Van Dyke
An opera begins long before the curtain goes up and ends long after it has come down. It starts in my imagination, it becomes my life, and it stays part of my life long after I’ve left the opera house.
Maria Callas
When you do anything too long, you either wear it out or lose interest.
Miles Davis
Progress might have been alright once, but it has gone on too long.
Ogden Nash
I know I got it made while the masses of black people are catchin’ hell, but as long as they ain’t free, I ain’t free.
Muhammad Ali
People thought I was cocky because I didn’t talk much. When I first turned pro, reporters asked me who was going to win. I’d say, ‘I am’ because it was the easier than giving some long, drawn-out answer.
Ken Venturi
Everybody gets so much information all day long that they lose their common sense.
Gertrude Stein
I have long enjoyed the friendship and companionship of Republicans because I am by instinct a teacher, and I would like to teach them something.
Woodrow Wilson
I would fight for my liberty so long as my strength lasted, and if the time came for me to go, the Lord would let them take me.
Harriet Tubman
I learned a long time ago that reality was much weirder than anyone’s imagination.
Hunter S. Thompson
The secret to so many artists living so long is that ev

The secret to so many artists living so long is that every painting is a new adventure. So, you see, they’re always looking ahead to something new and exciting. The secret is not to look back.
Norman Rockwell
I did a terrible job of composing myself. I was a spoiled brat from Long Island who benefitted from the energy of New York.
John McEnroe
If you stick around long enough, you’re going to become fashionable eventually.
Dave Gahan
As long as we persevere and endure, we can get anything we want.
Mike Tyson
There’s a long life ahead of you and it’s going to be beautiful, as long as you keep loving and hugging each other.
Yoko Ono
Whoever fights monsters should see to it that in the process he does not become a monster. And if you gaze long enough into an abyss, the abyss will gaze back into you.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Some people don’t like long bus rides, but I love them. There’s sort of a sense of solitude.
Sam Hunt
Death does not concern us, because as long as we exist, death is not here. And when it does come, we no longer exist.
Epicurus
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.
Baruch Spinoza
I don’t want to start producing dressing gowns and cuff links with the Purdey name stamped on them. Making Purdey the leading gunmaker is our priority. Once we have succeeded in doing that, then we might look at some accessories, but it is a long haul.
Johann Rupert
For myself I hold no preferences among flowers, so long as they are wild, free, spontaneous. Bricks to all greenhouses! Black thumb and cutworm to the potted plant!
Edward Abbey
As long as you’re green, you’re growing. As soon as you’re ripe, you start to rot.
Ray Kroc
The Bluebird of Happiness long absent from his life, Ned is visited by the Chicken of Depression.
Gary Larson
You can do anything as long as you have the passion, the drive, the focus, and the support.
Sabrina Bryan
So long as the human spirit thrives on this planet, music in some living form will accompany and sustain it and give it expressive meaning.
Aaron Copland
I believe in work, hard work, and long hours of work. Men do not breakdown from overwork, but from worry and dissipation.
Charles Evans Hughes
I can’t imagine going back to long hair. Cutting it was the greatest thing I ever did.
Robin Wright
We continue to be exasperated by the view, apparently gaining momentum in certain circles, that armed robbery is okay as long as nobody gets hurt! The proper solution to armed robbery is a dead robber, on the scene.
Jeff Cooper
Success is all about persistence and doing the right thing for the long term.
Bruce Rauner
I shall always be consistent and never change my ways so long as I am in my senses; but for the sake of precedent the Senate should beware of binding itself to support the acts of any man, since he might through some mischance suffer a change.
Tiberius
If all difficulties were known at the outset of a long journey, most of us would never start out at all.
Dan Rather
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.
Amy Grant
I like long walks, especially when they are taken by people who annoy me.
Noel Coward
If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew to serve your turn long after they are gone, and so hold on when there is nothing in you except the will which says to them: ‘Hold on!’
Rudyard Kipling
I am happy to be alive, as long as I can paint.
Frida Kahlo
I’m afraid that if you look at a thing long enough, it loses all of its meaning.
Andy Warhol
I don’t care what you say about me, as long as you say something about me, and as long as you spell my name right.
George M. Cohan
If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.
Antoine de Saint-Exupery
You know, if I listened to Michael Dukakis long enough, I would be convinced we’re in an economic downturn and people are homeless and going without food and medical attention and that we’ve got to do something about the unemployed.
Ronald Reagan
One of things I like about looking at pictures when you’re young and also meeting back with old friends you haven’t seen in a long time is, for me, it’s a glimpse of who I was.
Lea Thompson
I’m proud of my short hair. I don’t think I will grow it long again.
Sylvie Meis
The TV business is uglier than most things. It is norma

The TV business is uglier than most things. It is normally perceived as some kind of cruel and shallow money trench through the heart of the journalism industry, a long plastic hallway where thieves and pimps run free and good men die like dogs, for no good reason.
Hunter S. Thompson
Always keep your smile. That’s how I explain my long life.
Jeanne Calment
A long healthy life is no accident. It begins with good genes, but it also depends on good habits.
Dan Buettner
‘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.
Ronnie Hawkins
I don’t mind living in a man’s world as long as I can be a woman in it.
Marilyn Monroe
I found that if I don’t paint for around a week, I get practically suicidal. It took a long time to figure out why I had these mood swings, and I finally figured out it’s because I haven’t painted.
Damian Loeb
As long as you have discipline, you can be a success. Discipline is what makes you do everything you need to do.
Anthony Joshua
Sex does not exist for me at all. I haven’t had a boyfriend for a long time. There were only three or four in my life up until now anyway.
Kim Wilde
The secret to a long marriage in the film industry? Marry someone wonderful, as I did. And always have her come along on location.
Christopher Lee
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.
Ernesto Bertarelli
I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern.
Anais Nin
If there was an observer on Mars, they would probably be amazed that we have survived this long.
Noam Chomsky
Books are sharks… because sharks have been around for a very long time. There were sharks before there were dinosaurs, and the reason sharks are still in the ocean is that nothing is better at being a shark than a shark.
Douglas Adams
The life so short, the craft so long to learn.
Hippocrates
Be content with what you are, and wish not change; nor dread your last day, nor long for it.
Marcus Aurelius
I had such a run of bad luck that you lose faith that good things are going to happen any more. I still don’t answer the door because I went through so long expecting it to be a bailiff.
Jack Monroe
Personal health is related to self-control and to the worship of life in all its natural beauty – self-control bringing with it happiness, renewed youth, and long life.
Maria Montessori
Cynicism is tough. A cynic’s point of view is really pitiful. I derive pleasure out of a lot of things in life. As long as I’m fairly healthy, it’s hard to stay dismal for very long.
Shawn Colvin
Working with David Lynch was like taking a bullet. A gun at you. ‘Lost Highway’ is, I think, one of the best films I’ve ever been in. It’ll endure a long, long time.
Robert Loggia
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.
Hilton Als
As long as you’re having fun, that’s the key. The moment it becomes a grind, it’s over.
Barry Gibb
You can have all the talent in the world, but it’s the ability to go out there every day and try to get better. And that’s the key to being successful and being successful for a long time.
Julio Jones
Dogs got personality. Personality goes a long way.
Quentin Tarantino
Man, so long as he remains free, has no more constant and agonizing anxiety than find as quickly as possible someone to worship.
Fyodor Dostoevsky
Some people are naturally thin, and some are heavier. There is a lot of focus on it, and it can be a lot of pressure for people. But honestly, I think as long as someone is healthy, that is most important.
Jennifer Lopez
Let others either envy or pity me; I care not, so long as I enjoy myself.
Joseph Hall
If you’re not hopeful and optimistic, then you just give up. You have to take the long hard look and just believe that if you’re consistent, you will succeed.
John Lewis
There is no disguise which can hide love for long where it exists, or simulate it where it does not.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld
As long as you’re not hurting anybody else, as long as you’re being kind to people and you’re doing what you love, only good things can come of it.
Jason Silva
I became insane, with long intervals of horrible sanity.
Edgar Allan Poe
Whatever the right hand findeth to do, the left hand carries a watch on its wrist to show how long it takes to do it.
Ralph W. Sockman
In the central place of every heart, there is a recordi

In the central place of every heart, there is a recording chamber; so long as it receives messages of beauty, hope, cheer and courage, you are young.
Samuel Ullman
I’d like my grandchildren to be able to see that their grandmother stood up for something, a long time ago.
Claudette Colvin
By an irony of fate, my first employment was as a draughtsman. I hated drawing; it was for me the very worst of annoyances. Fortunately, it was not long before I secured the position I sought, that of chief electrician to the telephone company.
Nikola Tesla
It’s hard to be successful over the long term if you’re not unified and there’s not that synergy between coach and front office.
Stan Van Gundy
Mankind is like dogs, not gods – as long as you don’t get mad they’ll bite you – but stay mad and you’ll never be bitten. Dogs don’t respect humility and sorrow.
Jack Kerouac
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.
Morris West
A halfway decent haircut will go a long way!
G-Eazy
Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.
Abraham Lincoln
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.
Claudette Colvin
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.
Helen Hayes
Oh, I did stop smoking a long time ago.
Mario Lemieux
People always underestimate me. But if you stick around long enough, act out of conviction, and try to be honorable in everything you do, good things will come to you.
Salma Hayek
Remember, democracy never lasts long. It soon wastes, exhausts, and murders itself. There never was a democracy yet that did not commit suicide.
John Adams
In the long history of the world, only a few generations have been granted the role of defending freedom in its hour of maximum danger. I do not shrink from this responsibility – I welcome it.
John F. Kennedy
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.
Michael Phelps
I am writing a book called ‘The History of Australia in Hundred Objects.’ It’s of things we have invented in Australia. And you know, some of them are amazing. We invented the clapper boards used in films. We invented those cranes – those big long cranes used on construction sites.
Barry Humphries
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.
Andie MacDowell
I don’t have a desire for material things. As long as I’m happy, I’m good, man.
Astro
If I went by all the rejection I’ve had in my career, I should have given up a long time ago.
Mike Myers
Considering that the blessed life we so long for consists in an intimate and true love of God Our Creator and Lord, which binds and obliges us all to a sincere love.
Saint Ignatius
Among a people generally corrupt liberty cannot long exist.
Edmund Burke
We may find in the long run that tinned food is a deadlier weapon than the machine-gun.
George Orwell
Perseverance is not a long race; it is many short races one after the other.
Walter Elliot
My goal in sailing isn’t to be brilliant or flashy in individual races, just to be consistent over the long run.
Dennis Conner
People say I’m too skinny, but if I gain a little weight, they say I look chubby. You can’t please everyone. As long as you’re happy, that’s all that matters.
Madison Beer
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.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Americans have so far put up with inequality because they felt they could change their status. They didn’t mind others being rich, as long as they had a path to move up as well. The American Dream is all about social mobility in a sense – the idea that anyone can make it.
Fareed Zakaria
I just bring energy, try to put myself in a good mood, because you’re not going to get through practice if you’re drowsy, don’t feel like doing nothing. Then it’s going to be a long practice and coach is going to be all over you.
Bam Adebayo
So what do we do? Anything. Something. So long as we just don’t sit there. If we screw it up, start over. Try something else. If we wait until we’ve satisfied all the uncertainties, it may be too late.
Lee Iacocca
Airbnb has proven that hospitality, generosity, and the simple act of trust between strangers can go a long way.
Joe Gebbia
So long as men worship the Caesars and Napoleons, Caesars and Napoleons will duly arise and make them miserable.
Aldous Huxley
As long as justice and injustice have not terminated th

As long as justice and injustice have not terminated their ever renewing fight for ascendancy in the affairs of mankind, human beings must be willing, when need is, to do battle for the one against the other.
John Stuart Mill
As long as I breathe, I attack.
Bernard Hinault
It takes a long time to get to be a diva. I mean, you gotta work at it.
Diana Ross
Life is too short for a long story.
Mary Wortley Montagu
No business can stay in business without customers. How you treat – or mistreat – them determines how long your doors stay open.
Harvey Mackay
It takes a long time to become young.
Pablo Picasso
There is only one thing that a man really wants to do, all his life; and that is, to find his way to his God, his Morning Star, salute his fellow man, and enjoy the woman who has come the long way with him.
D. H. Lawrence
Summer is a promissory note signed in June, its long days spent and gone before you know it, and due to be repaid next January.
Hal Borland
It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.
Elbert Hubbard
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.
Arnold Schwarzenegger
They are not long, the days of wine and roses.
Ernest Dowson
In the long term we can hope that religion will change the nature of man and reduce conflict. But history is not encouraging in this respect. The bloodiest wars in history have been religious wars.
Richard M. Nixon
I think we have a good chance of surviving long enough to colonize the solar system.
Stephen Hawking
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.
Padmasree Warrior
Any action is often better than no action, especially if you have been stuck in an unhappy situation for a long time. If it is a mistake, at least you learn something, in which case it’s no longer a mistake. If you remain stuck, you learn nothing.
Eckhart Tolle
Only the wise know just where predestination ends and free will begins. Meanwhile, you must keep on doing your best, according to your own clearest understanding. you must long for freedom as the drowning man longs for air. Without sincere longing, you will never find God.
Paramahansa Yogananda
Don’t keep a man guessing too long – he’s sure to find the answer somewhere else.
Mae West
It has long been a childhood dream of mine to have a farm.
Jasmine Guinness
My life is one long curve, full of turning points.
Pierre Trudeau
It is very important to generate a good attitude, a good heart, as much as possible. From this, happiness in both the short term and the long term for both yourself and others will come.
Dalai Lama
As far as I can see, it’s not important that we have free will, just as long as we have the illusion of free will to stop us going mad.
Alan Moore
The simple act of paying attention can take you a long way.
Keanu Reeves
Home is here in Philadelphia. I never like to be away too long.
Grace Kelly
It takes a long time to free oneself from chatter – goals, social media, image, persona. And if you’re able to move through in that way, you can actually start trying to create from a different place.
Sandra Oh
The value of life is not in its duration, but in its donation. You are not important because of how long you live, you are important because of how effective you live.
Myles Munroe
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.
Andy Ruiz Jr.
The good woman, who makes all the sacrifices is always the one with long hair.
Mandira Bedi
I am a rolling stone, never in one place for very long.
Roz Savage
To be completely woman you need a master, and in him a compass for your life. You need a man you can look up to and respect. If you dethrone him it’s no wonder that you are discontented, and discontented women are not loved for long.
Marlene Dietrich
People are too durable, that’s their main trouble. They can do too much to themselves, they last too long.
Bertolt Brecht
It’s fine to have anal sex as long as you’re not in high school.
Mia Kirshner
We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experienc

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.
Khalil Gibran
Deforestation will continue as long as cutting down and burning trees is more economic than preserving them.
Johan Eliasch
I feel the older I get, the more I’m learning to handle life. Being on this quest for a long time, it’s all about finding yourself.
Ringo Starr
I don’t mind how much my Ministers talk, so long as they do what I say.
Margaret Thatcher
With faith and obedience practiced long enough, the Holy Ghost becomes a constant companion, our natures change, and endurance becomes certain.
Henry B. Eyring
The truth is that no matter how old we are, as long as our mothers are alive, we want our mother. And it’s a very powerful relationship if it’s healthy.
Goldie Hawn
So long as the laws remain such as they are today, employ some discretion: loud opinion forces us to do so; but in privacy and silence let us compensate ourselves for that cruel chastity we are obliged to display in public.
Marquis de Sade
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.
Jason Mraz
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.
Jill Hennessy
A man is what he thinks about all day long.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
I want my friend to miss me as long as I miss him.
Saint Augustine
On my left knee I have a long scar from an ACL operation. I’ve had both knees reconstructed.
Joe Rogan
How you think when you lose determines how long it will be until you win.
Gilbert K. Chesterton
Look at our society. Everyone wants to be thin, but nobody wants to diet. Everyone wants to live long, but few will exercise. Everybody wants money, yet seldom will anyone budget or control their spending.
John C. Maxwell
I don’t care who does the electing, so long as I get to do the nominating.
Boss Tweed
Every man casts a shadow; not his body only, but his imperfectly mingled spirit. This is his grief. Let him turn which way he will, it falls opposite to the sun; short at noon, long at eve. Did you never see it?
Henry David Thoreau
If you persevere long enough, if you do the right things long enough, the right things will happen.
Ian Millar
You can’t really go wrong as long as you’re true to yourself.
Blake Lively
It is our job, as members of parliament, to legislate with an eye to the long term future, to look over the horizon beyond the next election and ensure that as far as we can what we do today will make Australia a better place, a safer place, for future generations to live in.
Malcolm Turnbull
Automation is good, so long as you know exactly where to put the machine.
Eliyahu Goldratt
The secret to a long marriage is to stay gone.
Dolly Parton
There is no limit to what a man can do so long as he does not care a straw who gets the credit for it.
Charles Edward Montague
No one lives long enough to learn everything they need to learn starting from scratch. To be successful, we absolutely, positively have to find people who have already paid the price to learn the things that we need to learn to achieve our goals.
Brian Tracy
As long as your ideology identifies the main source of the world’s ills as a definable group, it opens the world up to genocide.
Steven Pinker
The sun, the moon and the stars would have disappeared long ago… had they happened to be within the reach of predatory human hands.
Havelock Ellis
The most frustrating thing about injuries is that they take so bloody long to heal.
Jason Statham
Women have fought so long and hard for our rights and equality, and now all our attention is put on being a size 0.
Pink
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?
Jackie Kennedy
I have lived long enough both in years and in accomplishments.
Julius Caesar
History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
Developments in medical technology have long been confined to procedural or pharmaceutical advances, while neglecting a most basic and essential component of medicine: patient information management.
John Doolittle
For having lived long, I have experienced many instance

For having lived long, I have experienced many instances of being obliged, by better information or fuller consideration, to change opinions, even on important subjects, which I once thought right but found to be otherwise.
Benjamin Franklin
We can do anything we want to if we stick to it long enough.
Helen Keller
Buy what thou hast no need of and ere long thou shalt sell thy necessities.
Benjamin Franklin
Life should be great rather than long.
B. R. Ambedkar
I didn’t learn how to swing a golf club until late in my career. And even though I won all those tournaments, I still struggled with consistency, and I relied on my strengths, which were hitting the ball long and high, and I could chip and putt with the best of ’em.
Tom Watson
For a long time, society put obstacles in the way of women who wanted to enter the sciences.
Sally Ride
I believe that, as long as there is plenty, poverty is evil.
Robert Kennedy
When people call me God, I say, no, I’m still an angel or saint of acting. I still have a long way to go.
Shah Rukh Khan
Opportunities are like sunrises. If you wait too long, you miss them.
William Arthur Ward
If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?
Chuck Palahniuk
Determination gets you a long way.
Chelsea Clinton
I did not vote for Donald Trump and I do not support him but I believe that Trump is the best thing to happen to this country in a long time. He’s bringing out the country’s ugliness. There’s no turning a blind eye anymore.
Daryl Davis
Your attitude will go a long way in determining your success, your recognition, your reputation and your enjoyment in being a lawyer.
Joe Jamail
I learned a long time ago that you need to bury the hatchet. No need to hold grudges. That only weighs you down.
Ken Shamrock
Sometimes it feels like my life is just one long day.
John Mayer
The story of civilization is, in a sense, the story of engineering – that long and arduous struggle to make the forces of nature work for man’s good.
L. Sprague de Camp
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?
Ben Shapiro
I know lots of women who have slim legs but refuse to wear skirts because of unsightly varicose or spider veins. Though heredity plays a role, your genes don’t have to doom you to a life of long pants.
Denise Austin
A people cannot long retain their freedom, whose government is incapable of protecting them.
Oliver Ellsworth
Long hair is an unpardonable offence which should be punishable by death.
Morrissey
Like water which can clearly mirror the sky and the trees only so long as its surface is undisturbed, the mind can only reflect the true image of the Self when it is tranquil and wholly relaxed.
Indra Devi
Baby steps count, too, as long as you’re moving forward.
Chris Gardner
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.
Ricky Gervais
Failure after long perseverance is much grander than never to have a striving good enough to be called a failure.
George Eliot
It’s not the tools that you have faith in – tools are just tools. They work, or they don’t work. It’s people you have faith in or not. Yeah, sure, I’m still optimistic I mean, I get pessimistic sometimes but not for long.
Steve Jobs
Heaven is long-enduring, and earth continues long. The reason why heaven and earth are able to endure and continue thus long is because they do not live of, or for, themselves.
Lao Tzu
The real test of a musician is live performance. It’s one thing to spend a long time learning how to play well in the studio, but to do it in front of people is what keeps me coming back to touring.
Neil Peart
You can do anything as long as you don’t stop believing. When it is meant to be, it will be. You just have to follow your heart.
Keke Palmer
Human life has meaning only to that degree and as long as it is lived in the service of humanity.
Wole Soyinka
I do believe in God. But you won’t find me visiting temples every now and then. I believe in self-realization. Peace of mind matters a lot to me. What’s the point in doing something just for the sake of it? I’d rather do something I like doing as long as I’m being true to myself.
Virat Kohli
There are two things that won’t last long in this world, and that’s dogs chasing cars and pros putting for pars.
Lee Trevino
Eat all the junk food you want - as long as you cook it

Eat all the junk food you want – as long as you cook it yourself. That way, it’ll be less junky, and you won’t eat it every day because it’s a lot of work.
Michael Pollan
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.
Tom Waits
You can’t get a cup of tea big enough or a book long enough to suit me.
C. S. Lewis
I come from a long line of strong and confident women out of New Orleans. My grandmother and great-grandmother were women who ran their homes and were leaders in their communities. I was never taught that there was anything that I couldn’t do, and I believed that.
Stephanie Allain
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.
Tori Bowie
A sense of humor is great – it goes a long, long way in a marriage.
Chris Rock
It’s a long road, so we are just trying to stay focused and grounded and keep moving forward. I’ll take it, though.
Sturgill Simpson
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.
Robert Zubrin
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.
Lyndon B. Johnson
The free man cannot be long an ignorant man.
William McKinley
In the long course of history, having people who understand your thought is much greater security than another submarine.
J. William Fulbright
I’ve always had long hair and it’s something I’m proud of.
Rhea Chakraborty
My kids are my No. 1 priority. They’re the light in my everyday life. The sunshine. The miracle. Those eyes. Those smiles. At the same time, I have an extended, amazing family that is my audience. All these people have been with me for such a long time. I have these two responsibilities.
Thalia
While democracy in the long run is the most stable form of government, in the short run, it is among the most fragile.
Madeleine Albright

Hippocrates
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.
Johnny Depp
Whatever I like, even after a long time, I still like it. And I reminisce about the moment when I first heard it. That’s what I love. Just remembering those moments.
G-Dragon
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.
Thomas Carlyle
It’s a long old road, but I know I’m gonna find the end.
Bessie Smith
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.
Emilia Clarke
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.

Sam Darnold
Nothing is ever as bad as it seems. Nor does it ever last as long as you think.

Alfred Lord Tennyson
We long to have a home where civil freedoms are respected, where our children will not be subject to mass surveillance, abuse of human rights, political censorship and mass incarceration. We stand with all the free peoples of the world and hope you stand with us in our quest for justice and freedom.
Joshua Wong
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.
David Hockney
I’m one of the most adaptable guys I know in as much as travelling is my favourite thing to do in life. With every place I go, I try to stay there long enough to do it justice, long enough so that I can at least imagine what it would be like to live there. Once I imagine that, then it’s OK for me to return home.
Matthew McConaughey
For my confirmation, I didn’t get a watch and my first pair of long pants, like most Lutheran boys. I got a telescope. My mother thought it would make the best gift.

You make the right decision for the long run. You manage for the long run, and you continue to move to higher value. That’s what I think my job is.
Ginni Rometty
It doesn't matter what you believe just so long as you'

Charles M. Schulz

The health of the eye seems to demand a horizon. We are never tired, so long as we can see far enough.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
Dreams are real as long as they last. Can we say more of life?
Havelock Ellis
Long runs improve your endurance but shorter intervals improve your speed. They are mutually beneficial for a distance runner. If you do 5k runs it will help your marathon.
Eliud Kipchoge
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.
Brian Eno
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.
Jordan Peterson
I love criticism just so long as it’s unqualified praise.
Noel Coward
Let me recommend the best medicine in the world: a long journey, at a mild season, through a pleasant country, in easy stages.

Isaac Asimov
Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side.

Benjamin Disraeli
You can build a throne with bayonets, but you can’t sit on it for long.
Boris Yeltsin
I am not a person who reaches for the moon as long as I have the stars.
Gertrude Ederle
My accent was horrible. In Mexico, nobody says, ‘You speak English with a good accent.’ You either speak English, or you don’t: As long as you can communicate, no one cares.
Salma Hayek
Flattery is all right so long as you don’t inhale.
Adlai Stevenson I
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.
Geoff Dyer
I have long maintained that each of us has three chances a day to be happy: Breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
Elin Hilderbrand
I am a poor man and of little worth, who is laboring in that art that God has given me in order to extend my life as long as possible.

Gigi Hadid
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
Confucius
In the long term, artificial intelligence and automatio

In the long term, artificial intelligence and automation are going to be taking over so much of what gives humans a feeling of purpose.
Matt Bellamy
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.
Warren Buffett
Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.
Grover Cleveland
Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.
Helen Keller
Long after this wonderful event in the Earth’s history, when the human species was spread over a good deal of Asia, Europe, and Africa, migration to the American continents began in attempts to find new feeding grounds and unoccupied areas for hunting and fishing.

Isaac Bashevis Singer
In the Bhagavad Gita, there is no long discussion, nothing elaborate. The main reason for this is that everything stated in the Gita is meant to be tested in the life of every man; it is intended to be verified in practice.
Vinoba Bhave
I don’t believe in happy endings, but I do believe in happy travels, because ultimately, you die at a very young age, or you live long enough to watch your friends die. It’s a mean thing, life.
George Clooney
And forget not that the earth delights to feel your bare feet and the winds long to play with your hair.
Khalil Gibran
If you look at how long the Earth has been here, we’re living in the blink of an eye. So, whatever it is you want to do, you go out and do it.
Jamie Foxx
As long as you keep one foot in the real world while the other foot’s in a fairy tale, that fairy tale is going to seem kind of attainable.

Character is simply habit long continued.
Plutarch
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.
Michelle Phan
I’ve been drawing as long as I can remember. I think all children draw as soon as they figure out the thumb and can grab crayons. The only difference with people like myself is that we never stopped drawing.
Adam Hughes
A scapegoat remains effective as long as we believe in its guilt.
Rene Girard
Bitcoin, in the short or even long term, may turn out be a good investment in the same way that anything that is rare can be considered valuable. Like baseball cards. Or a Picasso.
Andrew Ross Sorkin
I decided a long time ago to be unfiltered and wholly myself in these areas of social media. I’ve been very happy with the results of this decision. I feel that I get lots of interaction and loyal support. So I’m grateful for my Twitter and Facebook followers every day.
Rae Carson
It sure looks good to see an honest-to-goodness audience after looking at you all for so long from the silver screen.

It took me a long time not to judge myself through some

Charles Baudelaire
A man must dream a long time in order to act with grandeur, and dreaming is nursed in darkness.

I worked as long in a fish and chip shop as I did in Parliament. I’ve had particular experiences in politics, but they’re not my only ones, and they’re not the ones that defined me.
Jacinda Ardern
