Nurturing and spending time and effort on what’s happening underneath our exteriors is much more lucrative than spending a lifetime and shed load of money on your outside.
Dream Theater was my baby. I formed it from the beginning, out of college, and I lived a lifetime with them.
After a lifetime of world travel I’ve been fascinated that those in the third world don’t have the same perception of reality that we do.
Book stores drive me insane because I know that I will never be able to read everything I want to in my lifetime.
It’s been a huge honor to collaborate and create new theatre with new writers and to create theatre that will last after my lifetime. It’s been in the most truthful way possible. It’s my favorite thing to do.
I probably did pack a lifetime’s work into the 1980s.
The day Apollo 11 landed, I knew men would walk on Mars in my lifetime. I’m no longer nearly so sure. The last budget put forward in Canada contained not a penny for Mars.
John Fahey, thought during his lifetime to be possibly more than a little crazy, was the author of some thirty albums of gnomically introverted droning guitar instrumentals, which I listened to heavily in my teens and twenties; I even produced an hour or so of banjo music in an imitative John Fahey style.
The only thing that infuriates me is that I have more unwritten stories in me than I can conceivably write in a lifetime.
In my lifetime, we’ve gone from Eisenhower to George W. Bush. We’ve gone from John F. Kennedy to Al Gore. If this is evolution, I believe that in twelve years, we’ll be voting for plants.
I’m thankful for the incredible advances in medicine that have taken place during my lifetime. I almost certainly wouldn’t still be here if it weren’t for them.
Infinity is a way to describe the incomprehensible to the human mind. In a way, it notates a mystery. That kind of mystery exists in relationships. A lifetime is not enough to know someone else. It provides a brief glimpse.
Margaret was the best prime minister of my lifetime. Mythology has turned Thatcher into someone regarded either as a goddess by her supporters or an evil witch by her opponents.
As humans, we make a lot of mistakes and take a lot of chances in one lifetime.
I didn’t grow up admiring anybody but George Gervin, and I didn’t get a chance to play against him. That would’ve been one of my lifetime accomplishments. I probably would’ve went crazy if I played against him, because he’s like a father to me now.
In my lifetime, I have seen how greater liberty, greater justice, and greater respect ultimately does prevail, but it prevails only when people are willing to fight for it and willing to lose for it.
Only Socrates knew, after a lifetime of unceasing labor, that he was ignorant. Now every high-school student knows that. How did it become so easy?
The sparrow that is twittering on the edge of my balcony is calling up to me this moment a world of memories that reach over half my lifetime, and a world of hope that stretches farther than any flight of sparrows.
Without going outside his race, and even among the better classes with their ‘white’ culture and conscious American manners, but still Negro enough to be different, there is sufficient matter to furnish a black artist with a lifetime of creative work.
Poor eating habits developed at an early age lead to a lifetime of real health consequences.
I do not watch horror films. At all. I am not a horror film girl; I don’t have the stomach for it. I’ve seen a few in my lifetime, like ‘The Shining’ or ‘Carrie,’ but I can’t sleep for, like, a week after I see something like that.
For many older Americans who identify as lesbian, gay, bisexual, or transgender, a lifetime of discrimination has undermined their right to a retirement with dignity.
By the 1960s, many of us believed that the Civil Rights Movement could eliminate racism in America during our lifetime. But despite significant progress, racism remains.
If you look at the history of music, you have classical composers, church music, pop music, etc. Music that’s existed for centuries. I think there are some songs that are close to immortal. They will last longer than we will in this lifetime.
I have a good relationship with Lifetime.
I’ve been invited to do ‘Dancing With the Stars’ three times, but Lifetime said no.
You know, the squeaky wheel gets the oil, and my parents had spent a lifetime not making any noise, and I was like, what happens if I do this? What happens if I rock this? What then, you know? Will anybody listen?
We’re not going to have another Watergate in our lifetime. I’m sure.
I keep waiting for a paradigm shift to happen that will let network and studio execs see that sci-fi is the same as any other genre in terms of how you approach it – logically, character-based, with challenging ideas and forward thinking – but I worry that it might never happen in my lifetime.
If we can live a day in peace, then why couldn’t we live a week in peace? If we can master a week, why not a month? If we can master a month in peace, why not a year in peace? And if we can master a year, then certainly we can master a lifetime of peace as God’s highest creation.
Who I am, what I am, is the culmination of a lifetime of reading, a lifetime of stories. And there are still so many more books to read. I’m a work in progress.
The concentration of U.S. income and wealth in the hands of the very rich is a new development in my lifetime.
I can’t take much pride in my childhood acting. It feels like it happened in another lifetime, and even then, it felt like a hobby.
In America, we make a promise to seniors: After a lifetime of working and contributing to this country, you’ll earn the benefit of a secure retirement, good health care, and peace of mind in your later years. To me, that’s a commitment we have to keep.
We still get those kind of cats coming out to our shows. Once you’re into it, you’re into it for a lifetime.
There are some men who lift the age they inhabit, till all men walk on higher ground in that lifetime.
Obviously I don’t hate America. I do believe that we are becoming – and I can only judge it by my lifetime, ’cause I don’t know what it was like in the 1800s – but it just seems that as a nation, we are becoming really, really nasty, and not concerned with any kind of truth.
This has been a trend for a long time; the days of lifetime employment are long since over.
In our sport you’re very lucky to find a horse of a lifetime and I found mine relatively early. He’s done everything for me and I owe him the world.
Nas is truly one of the greatest lyricists to ever come out of Queens, which has produced more great MCs than any other borough. He’s one of the greatest MCs of my lifetime and in the world. He’s also a friend.
I cannot stress a greater importance than to teach the young generation about the risks of unhealthy eating. A great way to pique their interest in nutrition is to involve them more in the cooking process. They not only will learn to cook for themselves, but also develop a lifetime of healthy habits.
Houston’s a very big town. It’s changed a lot over my lifetime, it’s quite a bit bigger now than it was when I was growing up, but it’s a fantastic city. I know a lot of people perhaps don’t give it the credit it’s due but it’s a wonderful city that’s got absolutely fantastic restaurants.
I think Governor Romney has a two-part budget plan that very much levels with voters far more so than any candidate in my lifetime.
I think what I’ve learned out of this lifetime is you should be proud of where you come from.
I have condemned my kids to a lifetime of geographic illiteracy.
After a lifetime of losing and gaining weight, I get it. No matter how you slice it, weight loss comes down to the simple formula of calories in, calories out.
It takes a lifetime to master one dance form.
I’ll never have the seniority of lions of the Senate who’ve been in office for decades. What I do have is a lifetime of experience as a parent and activist, small business owner, and lieutenant governor of Minnesota.
This will be the first time in my lifetime I’m voting for a Democrat. I’m going to vote for Hillary Clinton. I’ve already voted.
Donald Trump is fighting for working people, and he’s fighting to restore the borders around this country that are the essential ingredient for national sovereignty and national success in a way that nobody has who has held that office not only in my lifetime but, frankly, in the history of this country.
In my next lifetime, I want to come back as a composer.

Genius is a potential that lives within you and every other human being. You have many moments of genius in your lifetime. These are the times when you have a uniquely brilliant idea and implement it even if only you are aware of how fantastic it is.
Civic participation over a lifetime, working in neighborhoods and communities and service of all kinds – military and civilian, full-time and part-time, national and international – will strengthen America’s civic purpose.
Give a man a fish and you feed him for a day; teach a man to fish and you feed him for a lifetime.
