You could argue that if the average golfer plays a golf course with 430-yard par 4s and they always miss the green, that's good practice. It's definitely great practice to play a course that's too long for you.
So long as we are loved by others I should say that we are almost indispensable; and no man is useless while he has a friend.
I hated seeing myself on screen. I was full of complexes. I hated my face for a very, very long time.
I love to do what I do. So, I do work long hours.
The kimono, haori, and girdle, and even the long hanging sleeves, have only parallel seams, and these are only tacked or basted, as the garments, when washed, are taken to pieces, and each piece, after being very slightly stiffened, is stretched upon a board to dry.
There are moments when a man's imagination, so easily subdued to what it lives in, suddenly rises above its daily level and surveys the long windings of destiny.
One of the ironies of a conference dedicated to all things digital and virtual is that the best ways to connect with people are surprisingly old-school. Social media tools can improve the odds of a serendipitous encounter at SXSW, but old-fashioned hustle, palm-pressing and - above all - creativity go a long way.
A soldier will fight long and hard for a bit of colored ribbon.
So long as we can lose any happiness, we possess some.
I took to wearing a black tie known as the Ascot, with long drooping ends. I had seen pictures of painters, sculptors, poets, wearing this style of tie.
When you're starting out as an actor, there isn't much food around. I was lucky to have a hit pretty early on. I didn't starve too long.
My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom.
Take pride in exactly what it is you do and remember it's okay to fail as long as you don't give up.
What matters to me is learning and growing, and getting to do what I love to do. As long as I can do that, I'm happy.
The very hirelings of the press, whose trade it is to buoy up the spirits of the people, have uttered falsehoods so long, they have played off so many tricks, that their budget seems, at last, to be quite empty.
The truth we are teaching is that every contribution in the history of the planet came from blonde people. It's not true, and it's destructive, and people are getting killed long term as a result. People don't believe that we deserve it.
I don't care what stage or what reason, as long as we're playing.
I don't like to see a president who is just out campaigning all year long or for the last four years. I'd like to see somebody who's going in the office. In fact, I'd like to not see them because that way you'd be sure that they'd be working.
I'm pretty relaxed on what people should be able to do as long as they're not hurting anybody else.
At Munich we sold the Czechs for a few months grace, but the disgrace will last as long as history.
Money does not motivate me as long as I can provide for my children.
It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop.
My father worked in the Post Office. A lot of double shifts. All his friends were in the same situation - truck drivers, taxi cab drivers, grocery clerks. Blue collar guys punching the clock and working long, hard hours. The thought that sustained them was the one at the center of the American dream.
Money may kindle, but it cannot by itself, and for very long, burn.
I never thought I'd live this long. It sounds funny because I still think of myself as a kid.
We have come a long way in terms of foreign policy.
A dose of humility goes a long way in life and in politics.
You know honestly, I enjoy working with everyone because remember, these were all real pros that had been around the business a long time.
I've known from long ago that the universe was calling me. If you were one of those annoying adults that said, 'Oh, what are you gonna be when you grow up?' I would say, 'Astrophysicist.' And then they'd walk away real quickly.
If men were born free, they would, so long as they remained free, form no conception of good and evil.
That's what so sad about a lot of modern music, in my opinion, so many young bands never stay around long enough to fulfill their ultimate promise. They only get halfway there or a quarter of the way there.
Fights in real life between real people only last so long before someone gets seriously hurt.
Negative humor is forgotten immediately. It's the stuff that makes us feel better about our lives that lives long. Much more satisfying. Enter children's books.
I've been a Rams fan for so long.
I would direct TV. That's a little different. It's more of a contained world as a director. When you're doing a film you get on the rollercoaster, you put the safety bar down and then you're gone. And it's hard. It's hard, too, as a parent, I think, because the hours are so long. It's hard.
I believe that a long step toward public morality will have been taken when sins are called by their right names.
