The happiest hours of my life have been spent in the flow of affection among friends.

Georg Brandes

There are those who advocate, and those who do. I'm not trying to slight my peers, but there is a difference between using a soapbox and actually getting your hands dirty.

I was the first to win a major with a belly putter, and I've spent hours practicing that way, so I hope they don't ban anchoring.

He spent hours and hours and hours practising these conjuring tricks. It's just such a curious thing.

The happiest people I know are not those who are the most beautiful, rich or famous. The happiest people I see are simply those who stay cheerful and try to cheer up others while getting through their own bad stuff

Helen Gurley Brown

It may sound paradoxical, but verbal fluency is the product of many hours spent writing about nothing, just as musical fluency is the product of hours spent repeating scales.

Stanley Fish

Only those who still have hope can benefit from tears.

Nathanael West

We have all our playthings. Happy are they who are contented with those they can obtain; those hours are spent in the wisest manner that can easiest shade the ills of life, and are the least productive of ill consequences.
