We don't ask God for too much; in fact, we ask for too little. Turn to Him for everything. Give everything to God.

Marianne Williamson

If I've made something really serene... well, if everything is like that, it's like having too much icing on your cake. You need something else under it, some kind of grounding. It's like if you're making a film, you can't have only happy moments, or else they become meaningless.

Jon Hopkins

I say too much of what, he says too much of everything, too much stuff, too many places, too much information, too many people, too much of things for there to be too much of, there is too much to know and I don't know where to begin but I want to try.

Jon McGregor

I drink too much, I smoke too much, I take pills too much, I work too much, I girl around too much, I everything too much.

Bob Fosse

People who are much too sensitive to demand of cripples that they run races ask of the poor that they get up and act just like everyone else in the society.

Michael Harrington

If something takes too long, something happens to you. You become all and only the thing you want and nothing else, for you have paid too much for it, too much in wanting and too much in waiting and too much in getting.

Robert Penn Warren

Well, there's no other person like me. Ain't nobody else like me. It's flattering. I don't like to do it too much because I get tired of me. But people ask, so I get to do it every now and then.

Jackee Harry

I don't worry too much about sex education in the schools. If the kids learn it like they do everything else, they won't know how.

Milton Berle

I don't like making a film and having the actors in character too much in magazines and on the net and everything else. Because you want to keep something back.

Graham King

Okay, if this is what falling in love feels like, someone please kill me now. (Not literally, overzealous readers.) But it was all too much - too much emotion, too much happiness, too much longing, perhaps too much ice cream.

James Patterson

Ask me about my football, and not too much else. I just want to be a player among the players.

N'Golo Kante

I think it's definitely important to look like yourself on a date. You don't want to look like someone else with too much makeup or too much hair.

Lauren Conrad

My advice to you is not to undertake the spiritual path. It is too difficult, too long, and is too demanding. I suggest you ask for your money back, and go home. This is not a picnic. It is really going to ask everything of you. So, it is best not to begin. However, if you do begin, it is best to finish.

Chogyam Trungpa

I feel like if you don't put too much expectations and too much high hopes into things, everything will fall into place.

Christina Milian

It all changed when I realized I'm not the only one on the planet who's scared. Everyone else is, too. I started asking people, Are you scared, too? You bet your sweet life I am. Aha, so that's the way it is for you, too. We were all in the same boat. That's probably what is so effective at our workshops. When I ask, Who else feels like this? the whole room of hands goes up. People realize they are not the only one who feels that way.

Stan Dale

People ask, like, 'How are you going to incorporate what you do onstage into everything else?' I'm not too worried about that. Whether it's theater or a TV show idea, or an animated thing or, I don't know, an animated screensaver. I really just want to keep creating things. And I've always been able to do that.
