Whoever degrades another degrades me, And whatever is done or said returns at last to me.
First and last, what is demanded of genius is love of truth.
I love to see the smiles on people’s faces when you cook for them. I love to go to different restaurants. I want to cook because I know this acting isn’t going to last forever, and I want something to fall back on. It’s another way to make people smile.
Justice is a temporary thing that must at last come to an end; but the conscience is eternal and will never die.
We have one life; it soon will be past; what we do for God is all that will last.
Dessert is probably the most important stage of the meal, since it will be the last thing your guests remember before they pass out all over the table.
Man is never always happy, and very often only a brief period of happiness is granted him in this world; so why escape from this dream which cannot last long?
Over the last half century the television interview has given us some of TV’s most heart-stopping and memorable moments. On the surface it is a simple format – two people sitting across from one another having a conversation. But underneath it is often a power struggle – a battle for the psychological advantage.
I can’t believe it. I’m speechless. It is amazing to see where I’ve come from the last two years.
Last night I dreamt I ate a ten pound marshmallow. When I woke up the pillow was gone.
And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with Me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
There’s something missing in the music industry today… and it’s music. Songs you hear don’t last, it’s just product fed to you by the industry.
You know you’ve read a good book when you turn the last page and feel a little as if you have lost a friend.
Love is the last relay and ultimate outposts of eternity.

The Coast Guard and Maritime Transportation Act is an important authorization for our country and for our citizens, as we have seen so vividly in the last few weeks.
Works of art often last forever, or nearly so. But exhibitions themselves, especially gallery exhibitions, are like flowers; they bloom and then they die, then exist only as memories, or pressed in magazines and books.
I hate imperialism. I detest colonialism. And I fear the consequences of their last bitter struggle for life. We are determined that our nation, and the world as a whole, shall not be the plaything of one small corner of the world.
England is nothing but the last ward of the European madhouse, and quite possibly it will prove to be the ward for particularly violent cases.
Remember that as a teenager you are in the last stage of your life when you will be happy to hear the phone is for you.

It just seemed like Buddhism, especially Tibetan Buddhism – because that’s mainly what I’ve been exposed to – was a real solid organization of teachings to point someone in the right direction. Some real well thought out stuff. But I don’t know, like, every last detail about Buddhism.
I honestly believe you can never tell if a relationship is going to last. In my own marriage, which is going on 14 years, I don’t think of it as ‘I’m going to be with this person forever.’ Instead, I think of more like, ‘I’ll probably be with this person for the next six weeks. Then I’ll re-evaluate.’
I hate patriotism… I can’t stand it. It’s a round world last time I checked.
In the last ten years of watching films I have found that some of the foreign films I saw affected me most. One American film that stands out for me for its workmanship and artistry is ‘Ratatouille.’ It was an astonishing effort in filmmaking.
I’m not the kind of actor that would know what my character had for breakfast last Tuesday.
Senator Badger did not call. During the whole of the last session of Congress, he did not call on me. He is a bitter partisan and is no doubt sensible that during the presidential canvass of 1844, he did me gross injustice.
I don’t feel the need for religion. But I went on a yoga retreat last year and I do believe slightly in the karma thing and just being good and true unto yourself. And I slightly believe that you can attract good and bad to you.
Trump represented a movement of dissatisfaction, the dissent, unhappiness, division cultivated by years of identity politics and the bullying of arrogant, insufferable, intolerant social justice warriors who used the last two terms to punish anyone who reminded them of Daddy.
Don’t worry about your heart, it will last you as long as you live.
Treaties are like roses and young girls. They last while they last.
The great Jewish scientists and philosophers of the last few generations – Spinoza, Einstein, Freud, Robert Oppenheimer and others – were natives of Europe and America.
Last month, the Iraqi people went to the polls, voting in their first free election in more than 50 years.
Van Morrison is probably, at this point in time, my biggest influence as a vocalist. When we were making our last album I had a vinyl copy of ‘Veedon Fleece’ in the vocal booth in front of me, in the dorky sense. I think there were candles around, which is really tacky, but hey, I needed to channel Van the Man!
I feel as though I’ve proved myself these last five years that I can be one of the top players in the league.
Do every act of your life as if it were your last.
You’re only as good as your last record.

The last years of fading communism provided an ideal environment for Poland’s Catholic Church, which acted as an umbrella for dissenters of all sorts.
Most of us spend too much time on the last twenty-four hours and too little on the last six thousand years.
I went to the doctor last week. I said: ‘Can I have some sleeping pills for the wife?’ He said: ‘Why?’ I said: ‘She’s woke up.’
It took me a long time to find out that I was born to be an actor. It was the last thing on my list, although my list was very small. I didn’t know what to do. But kids weren’t supposed to know what to do back then; we were all cute and we’d find out what we’d do later in life.
We have to win everything. The last time we went to South Africa, we had an opportunity to win the series, but things didn’t work out.
I just think Rosa Parks was overrated. Last time I checked, she got famous for breaking the law.
Usually, about 85 percent of what the tabloids report is a lie. Over the last year, I can truly say it has been 99 percent.
I thought my book was done, then we went to Hawaii and the whole last chapter happened.
The way prices are rising, the good old days are last week.
‘The Last Kingdom”s got its roots in history, and it’s a lot grittier. It doesn’t have the ‘Game of Thrones’ gloss.
For me, it’s enough that I have the first and last word.
We want to gently remind people that we don’t have forever. In my work, I hear parents complain all the time that their children grow up so fast. But they don’t take the time to sit down and talk to each other. The last bastion of getting together is around the table.
So, I’m lying on the couch and Laura walks in and I say, ‘Free at last,’ and she says ‘You’re free all right, you’re free to do the dishes.’ So I say, ‘You’re talking to the former president, baby,’ and she said, ‘consider this your new domestic policy agenda.’
Data is a precious thing and will last longer than the systems themselves.
Publishers give you deadlines for those last phases of production that are perfectly comfortable for them. So, to whatever extent I can, I like to push those to give me a little more time, and make it so that they’re as uncomfortable as I am.
Quarrels would not last long if the fault was only on one side.
Old friends call me Sea Salt, because my last name is Salter. Or Cocoa, cause my real first name is Courtney.
Stop acting as if life is a rehearsal. Live this day as if it were your last. The past is over and gone. The future is not guaranteed.
We’ve seen in the last half century an incredible shift. This is just an extraordinary time to be alive.
Every two, three years there is a movie about the Holocaust because they want you to remember and they want you to be reminded of what it was. When was the last time you seen a movie about slavery?
I expect Woman will be the last thing civilized by Man.
Death the last voyage, the longest, and the best.
At last I perceive that in revolutions the supreme power rests with the most abandoned.
My attitude is govern as if you’ve run your last race. That’s not to say I’ve run my last race, but govern with a liberation and a freedom; change your mind frame to operate that way.
Last year the National Sorry Day Committee consulted with stolen generations people in every State and Territory, and concluded that programmes set up in response to the Bringing Them Home Report are reaching only a small fraction of those they are intended to help.
