The tread Of coming footsteps cheats the midnight watcher Who holds her heart and waits to hear them pause, And hears them never pause, but pass and die.

George Eliot

Never pause unless you have a reason for it, but when you pause, pause as long as you can.

W. Somerset Maugham

There was a pause - just long enough for an angel to pass, flying slowly.

Ronald Firbank

The new light above my table is a great improvement. With all this darkness around me I feel less alone. (Pause.) In a way. (Pause.) I love to get up and move about in it, then back here to... (hesitates) ...me. (Pause.)

Samuel Beckett

This is what the Sabbath should feel like. A pause. Not just a minor pause, but a major pause. Not just lowering the volume, but a muting. As the famous rabbi Abraham Joshua Heschel put it, the Sabbath is a sanctuary in time.

A. J. Jacobs

When there's an opportunity, some people pass it by. I've been lucky enough to recognise opportunities and every day, in my business, there's an opportunity somewhere - to buy, expand, design.

Laurence Graff

Too often in life we pass by important things. Let's pause, change perspective and see things more clearly.

Sergio Pinto

Wanting to be in a Western film won't get me very far. Unless the opportunity arose, it doesn't matter how much I want to be in one. But if an opportunity did arise, no actor would pass it up.

Zhang Ziyi

Real freedom is the ability to pause between stimulus and response, and in that pause, choose.

Rollo May

Death is not complete annihilation. It is a pause. It is like pressing the pause button on a tape recorder.

Mata Amritanandamayi

Even in the busiest lives, there is room for a sacred pause. Between actions, pause and remember who you are.

Jennifer Kavanagh

The lack of opportunity is ever the excuse of a weak, vacillating mind. Opportunities! Every life is full of them. Every newspaper article is an opportunity. Every client is an opportunity. Every sermon is an opportunity. Every business transaction is an opportunity, an opportunity to be polite, an opportunity to be manly, an opportunity to be honest, an opportunity to make friends.

Orison Swett Marden

Sabbath is not simply the pause that refreshes. It is the pause that transforms.

Walter Brueggemann

Take every opportunity that comes your way. You should never, never see an opportunity in the eye and pass by. Never!

Lillian Frank

People think that a good passer is a flashy passer. But that's not a good pass. It's just a flashy pass. A good passer is someone who's gonna hit the guy right on the hands, and the timing is correct. You pass late, and it's not a good pass. You pass too early, it's not a good pass, either. If it's off-target, it's not a good pass.
