A fool too late bewares when all the peril is past.
He who is too busy doing good finds no time to be good.
That a man be willing, when others are so too, as far forth as for peace and defense of himself he shall think it necessary, to lay down this right to all things; and be contented with so much liberty against other men, as he would allow other men against himself.
Happy as we are, times may alter; we may be bitten with some impulse towards change, and many things may seem too wonderful for us to resist, too exciting not to catch at, if we do not know that they are but phases of what has been before and withal ruinous, deceitful, and sordid.
The chains of habit are too weak to be felt until they are too strong to be broken.
I asked long ago,’What must I do to be saved?’ The Scripture answered, ‘Keep the commandments, believe, hope, love.’ I was early warned against laying, as the Papists do, too much stress on outward works, or on a faith without works, which as it does not include, so it will never lead to true hope or charity.
If you take yourself too seriously, something like a bad review could put you off your stride.
There is nothing is more musical than a sunset. He who feels what he sees will find no more beautiful example of development in all that book which, alas, musicians read but too little – the book of Nature.
Spending too much time focused on others’ strengths leaves us feeling weak. Focusing on our own strengths is what, in fact, makes us strong.
My message is that it’s never too late. If it’s something you want to do or if it’s important to you, go for it.
Life is far too important a thing ever to talk seriously about.
The most important thing in an argument, next to being right, is to leave an escape hatch for your opponent, so that he can gracefully swing over to your side without too much apparent loss of face.
My reading of history convinces me that most bad government has grown out of too much government.
Life’s too short to hang out with people who aren’t resourceful.
If one synchronised swimmer drowns, do all the rest have to drown too?
I want people to see that there are happy endings, that we do achieve our goals, that it’s never too late.
It is really rare to find someone you really, really love and that you want to spend your life with and all that stuff that goes along with being married. I am one of those lucky people. And I think she feels that way too. So the romantic stuff is easy because you want them to be happy.
I have a long way to go as far as my acting career is concerned. Lots of milestones are to be achieved and dreams to be fulfilled. I would someday want to do playback singing, too, as I am a very passionate singer.
What a heavy burden is a name that has become too famous.
Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.
Is life not a thousand times too short for us to bore ourselves?
It’s not for me. I tried human flesh and it’s too salty for my taste.
The air of England has long been too pure for a slave, and every man is free who breathes it.
Do not give in too much to feelings. A overly sensitive heart is an unhappy possession on this shaky earth.
We also cannot allow Wall Street banks to rewrite the Second Amendment just because they’re too big to fail.
Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new.
Human mind has way too many shades. It would be so boring if this world was all sugar and gloss, just happy, colourful lives. People singing songs is not always the reality. Just like happiness and love, people also feel wrath, jealousy and vengeance!
My game is based on improvisation. Often, a forward does not have the time to think too much. You have a second, rarely more, to decide whether to dribble, shoot or pass to the right or left. It is instinct that gives the orders.
Great minds are related to the brief span of time during which they live as great buildings are to a little square in which they stand: you cannot see them in all their magnitude because you are standing too close to them.
It’s never too late to go out and get that feeling back.
I enjoyed the position I was in as a tennis player. I was to blame when I lost. I was to blame when I won. And I really like that, because I played soccer a lot too, and I couldn’t stand it when I had to blame it on the goalkeeper.
I was working for a chef a long time ago who told me to not skip steps or be in a hurry. Success in a kitchen is more like a marathon and less like a sprint. Rising up the ranks too quickly isn’t necessarily a good thing. This advice was from a guy who was sorry he had done that and didn’t want me to do the same.
Before broadcasting for 50-some years, I did TV, played 10 years in the big leagues, won a world championship – and played a big part in that, too, letting the Cardinals inject me with hepatitis. Takes a big man to do that.
War has always been the grand sagacity of every spirit which has grown too inward and too profound; its curative power lies even in the wounds one receives.
The Bible says today is the accepted time, today is the day of salvation… But there will come a time when it will be too late for you.
I have always believed that life is too short for rows and disagreements. Even if I think I’m right, I would prefer to apologize and remain friends rather than win and be an enemy.
Propaganda is a soft weapon; hold it in your hands too long, and it will move about like a snake, and strike the other way.
I don’t like food that’s too carefully arranged; it makes me think that the chef is spending too much time arranging and not enough time cooking. If I wanted a picture I’d buy a painting.
I’d like to see a comprehensive gun control bill brought to the floor, but if we have to do it in several votes, that’s fine, too. But give us the vote. Let us make our case to our colleagues on the floor and have a vote.
There is no health without mental health; mental health is too important to be left to the professionals alone, and mental health is everyone’s business.
When people have too many choices, they make bad choices.
One may miss the mark by aiming too high as too low.
Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives. It interrupts our own story, interrupts our ability to have a thought or a daydream, to imagine something wonderful, because we’re too busy bridging the walk from the cafeteria back to the office on the cell phone.
I hate wearing makeup because I am just too lazy to take it off at night.
More die in the United States of too much food than of too little.
The people to fear are not those who disagree with you, but those who disagree with you and are too cowardly to let you know.
Wisdom too often never comes, and so one ought not to reject it merely because it comes late.
Death gives meaning to our lives. It gives importance and value to time. Time would become meaningless if there were too much of it.
I love driving cars, looking at them, cleaning and washing and shining them. I clean ’em inside and outside. I’m very touchy about cars. I don’t want anybody leaning on them or closing the door too hard, know what I mean?
The trouble with programmers is that you can never tell what a programmer is doing until it’s too late.
If you think you’re too small to have an impact, try going to bed with a mosquito.
Life is too short, and I’m Italian. I’d much rather eat pasta and drink wine than be a size 0.
Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a certain poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. Because it’s only when you hitch your wagon to something larger than yourself that you realize your true potential.
You’re trying too hard to find a correlation here. You don’t know these people, you don’t know what they intended. You try to compile statistics and correlate them to a result that amounts to nothing more than speculation.
I wish I could freeze time or go back in time and watch my kids grow up all over again because it is just going by too fast.
Let us not be too particular; it is better to have old secondhand diamonds than none at all.
I’m too shy to do kissing scenes.
I’m not a natural leader. I’m too intellectual; I’m too abstract; I think too much.
I don’t want to be too ‘classic’ because it’s not in the DNA of Gucci. You need to be a little bit provocative.
We all know the dangers of sequels. Lightning doesn’t strike twice in the same place too often, and I think you’ve got to move beyond it, go the extra mile and have the courage not to just repeat the first one.
Don’t play too much golf. Two rounds a day are plenty.
People deal too much with the negative, with what is wrong. Why not try and see positive things, to just touch those things and make them bloom?
If you can make me laugh, my heart is yours! I think there’s nothing more attractive than someone who doesn’t take themselves too seriously.
You don’t concentrate on risks. You concentrate on results. No risk is too great to prevent the necessary job from getting done.
In 1980 I sent a play, ‘Jitney,’ to the Playwrights’ Center in Minneapolis, won a Jerome Fellowship, and found myself sitting in a room with sixteen playwrights. I remember looking around and thinking that since I was sitting there, I must be a playwright, too.
