Was it possible that Ranulph, too, was a real person, a person inside whose mind things happened? He had thought that he himself was the only real person in a field of human flowers. For Master Nathaniel that was a moment of surprise, triumph, tenderness, alarm.
Middle age is when your age starts to show around your middle.
We not only need to be willing to give but also to be open to receiving from others.
I have the perfect simplified tax form for government. Why don't they just print our money with a return address on it?
I have an attitude. It's what I do. I'm edgy. I have an attitude.
One thing I've learned through all the ups and downs is that if you're doing things right, then you have a core group of people. Not just a core group like your homies or your buddies, but a group of people that has a good influence on you, who you respect and admire, and you know that if they're on your side, you're doing something right.
I think people have different definitions of team unity. My definition is doing whatever it takes to win, what makes a great team; it's performance on the field, respect on the field.
I travel a lot and rarely make it home to Seattle.
You know you're getting old when the candles cost more than the cake.
“What's the use of crying, and retching, and belching, all day long, like your lady downstairs? Life has its sad side, and we must take the rough with the smooth. Why, maids have died on their marriage eve, or, what's worse, bringing their first baby into the world, and the world's wagged on all the same. Life's sad enough, in all conscience, but there's nothing to be frightened about in it or to turn one's stomach. I was country-bred, and as my old granny used to say, "There's no clock like the sun and no calendar like the stars." And why? Because it gets one used to the look of Time. There's no bogey from over the hills that scares one like Time. But when one's been used all one's life to seeing him naked, as it were, instead of shut up in a clock, like he is in Lud, one learns that he is as quiet and peaceful as an old ox dragging the plough. And to watch Time teaches one to sing. They say the fruit from over the hills makes one sing. I've never tasted so much as a sherd of it, but for all that I can sing.”
What you hope for determines what you live for. What you hope for determines WHO you live for. Hope misplaced can devastate you.
My thoughts are wing'd with hopes,My hopes with love.Thoughts, hopes and love return to me no more,Until Cynthia shine as she hath done before.
Bloom with hope! Breathe in with hope in your soul. Thrive on with endurance in your heart. Move on with a productive mind. Listen carefully to the soft message of whispering hope.
Hope is a good thing, maybe the best of things. Hope is one of those things that you can't buy, but that will be freely given to you if you ask. Hope is the one thing people cannot live without. Hope is a thing of beauty.
“It's a positive step to get a home game, and it goes back to, you gotta play who they give you. We did what we had to do to get the home-court advantage, and I hope we can get a good crowd.”
“We were hoping to play at home so friends and family members could see us. If they want to support us, they're going to have to go to a little warmer weather.”
“An occasional lucky guess as to what makes a wife tick is the best a man can hope for, Even then, no sooner has he learned how to cope with the tick than she tocks.”
“He's talking but he's very confused. He's not aware of what happened. He's having surgery tomorrow for his broken neck, and we're hoping to go home on Monday or Tuesday.”
“The Party and the government are affectionate to the people though typhoon and other calamities are merciless, ... We hope you will resume your work and rebuild your homes in a high morale as soon as possible.”
I dread the beginning of her new life more than words can tell, but I see some hope for her if she travels - none if she remains at home.
