It seemed to me that every adult did something terrible sooner or later. And every child, I thought, sooner or later becomes an adult.

Daniel Handler

Nobody welcomes a war - not if they're smart. But war finds everyone sooner or later. It's inevitable.

Rick Riordan

World War Two was a world war in space. It spread from Europe to Japan, to the Soviet Union, etc. World War Two was quite different from World War One which was geographically limited to Europe. But in the case of the Gulf War, we are dealing with a war which is extremely local in space, but global in time, since it is the first 'live' war.

Paul Virilio

let us thank God for having made us this gift of death, so that life is to have meaning; of night, that day is to have meaning; silence, that speech is to have meaning; illness, that health is to have meaning; war, that peace is to have meaning. Let us give thanks to Him for having given us weariness and pain, so that rest and joy are to have meaning. Let us give thanks to him, whose wisdom is infinite.

Amin Maalouf

Truth is the hardest substance in the world to pin down. But the one certainty is the awesome penalty exacted sooner or later from a society whose reporters stop trying.

Flora Lewis

Sooner or later. It had better be sooner. Later is like the horizon; it recedes as you approach.

Greg Iles

Sooner or later the arm goes bad. It has to... Sooner or later you have to start pitching in pain.

Whitey Ford

Why bother inflicting enormous pain on yourself when sooner or later Life would certainly get around to doing it for you?

Jeff Lindsay

War today is such a more visible thing. We see it on television, on CNN. In 1914, war was a concept. There was a naivety and stupidity that war would be a great lark. It's not that different from Gone With The Wind, where all the young men can't wait to go off to fight and then two hours later in the movie, we see how the reality of that has come home to them.

John Boyne

But love, sooner or later, forces us out of time...of all that we feel and do, all the virtues and all the sins, love alone crowds us at last over the edge of the world. For love is always more than a little strange here...It is in the world, but is not altogether of it. It is of eternity. It takes us there when it most holds us here.

Wendell Berry

Sooner or later, everyone's story has an unfortunate event or two...The solution, of course, is to stay as far away from the world as possible and lead a safe, simple life.

Daniel Handler

To free a man from error is to give, not to take away. Knowledge that a thing is false is a truth. Error always does harm; sooner or later it will bring mischief to the man who harbors it.

Arthur Schopenhauer

Nothing is safe from you. If I were to court a girl who lived on an iceberg in the middle of the ocean, sooner or later— probably sooner— I’d look up to see you swooping overhead on a broomstick. In fact, by now I’d be disappointed in you if I didn’t see you.” “Are you off to the iceberg today?” Sophie retorted.

Diana Wynne Jones

Originalism says that when you consult the text, you give it the meaning it had when it was adopted, not some later modern meaning.

Antonin Scalia

I give money to everybody. When they call, I give. And you know what, when I need something from them two years later, three years later, I call them and they are there for me.

Donald Trump

If one tells the truth, one is sure, sooner or later, to be found out.

Oscar Wilde
