Kind words are the music of the world. They have a power which seems to be beyond natural causes, as if they were some angel’s song, which had lost its way and come on Earth, and sang on undyingly, smiting the hearts of men with sweetest wounds, and putting for the while an angel’s nature into us.
A lot has happened over the years.

It’s much easier to be successful than it is to be relevant. The tricks won’t keep you relevant. Tricks might keep you popular for a while, but in all honesty, I don’t know how U2 will stay relevant. I know we’ve got a future. I know we can fill stadiums. And yet with every record, I think, ‘Is this it? Are we still relevant?’
Quit while you’re ahead. All the best gamblers do.
My mom and dad were ‘helicopter parents,’ literally. Meaning, I didn’t have a nanny, so I went up in the helicopter. My entire early childhood education consisted of tagging along while they reported on car accidents, multiple-alarm fires, and shootouts.
I would never kill a living thing, although I probably have inadvertently while driving automobiles.

For 10 years while I was at ESPN, I lived at the Residence Inn in Southington, Connecticut, near Bristol. I did that because my wife had a great job in New York City, and we had a place in New York City, at 54th and 8th. On Friday, I would come back, and then on Sunday evening I would go back to the Residence Inn.
Success is blocked by concentrating on it and planning for it… Success is shy – it won’t come out while you’re watching.

Nothing in life is quite as important as you think it is while you’re thinking about it.
Our prayer and God’s mercy are like two buckets in a well; while the one ascends the other descends.
I make it a rule never to smoke while I’m sleeping.
Plain white T-shirts do it for me every time. You can spend anything from £3 to £50 on a T-shirt, but I’ve bought some great ones from H&M, as well as shelling out on Duffer Of St George and a Polish label I discovered while filming ‘Robin Hood’ in Hungary called Scotch And Soda.
While a people preserves its language; it preserves the marks of liberty.

It’s the equivalent of putting on the brakes suddenly while driving uphill.
I don’t want you to think that I’m up late reading a stack of Spider-Man comics and eating a tray of lemon cookies while sucking my thumb. I’m not doing that. But I am loyal to the influences of my childhood.
The world’s pretty big. I have to see everything, do everything, eat everything. You’ll never be as young as you are right now, so while your legs still work, while you still have the breath in your lungs, go. At the end of our lives, we only regret the things we didn’t do.
While that amendment failed, human cloning continues to advance and the breakthrough in this unethical and morally questionable science is around the corner.
He whom the gods love dies young, while he is in health, has his senses and his judgments sound.
Even while I’m really interested in playing female characters that are varied and interesting and dynamic, I’m not of the mind that you always want to play strong female characters. I think I just want to play characters that are interesting, and not all people are ‘strong.’
You have to dream intentionally. Most people dream a dream when they are asleep. But to be a writer, you have to dream while you are awake, intentionally.

Dancing in high heels is kind of tough. I learn the dances without the heels, and then we add them. We just practice, and I get used to it. My feet hurt really badly at the end of the shows, but it’s fun. While it’s happening it’s fun. I feel tall.
While it was entertaining to develop content through the Dr. DisRespect character, it’s time for him to retire.
Everything comes to him who hustles while he waits.
