Entrance into Heaven is not at the hour of death, but at the moment of conversion.
There is in man a conscience which outlives the sensations the sensations, resolutions, and emotions of the hour, and rises above them all.
Tradition does not mean a dead town; it does not mean that the living are dead but that the dead are alive. It means that it still matters what Penn did two hundred years ago or what Franklin did a hundred years ago; I never could feel in New York that it mattered what anybody did an hour ago.
There is an hour of the afternoon when the plain is on the verge of saying something. It never says, or perhaps it says it infinitely, or perhaps we do not understand it, or we understand it and it is untranslatable as music.
Birth control that really works - every night before we go to bed we spend an hour with our kids.
Every hour has its end.
Got an hour or two? That's all it takes for one of my books.
Once we have a sense of how long a decision should take, we generally should delay the moment of decision until the last possible instant. If we have an hour, we should wait 59 minutes before responding. If we have a year, we should wait 364 days. Even if we have just half a second, we should wait as long as we possibly can. . . Life might be a race against time but it is enriched when we rise above our instincts and stop the clock to process and understand what we are doing and why. A wise decision requires reflection, and reflection requires a pause.
To fill the hour; that is happiness to fill the hour, and leave no crevice for a repentance or an approval.
Allow your head to be quiet. Allow it to be still. Just for an hour and half. Just deal with your body & your breath.
We were never a band that did 96 takes of the same thing. I had heard of groups that were into that kind of excess around that time. They'd work on the same track for three or four days and then work on it some more, but that's clearly not the way to record an album. If the track isn't happening and it creates some sort of psychological barrier, even after an hour or two, then you should stop and do something else. Go out: go to the pub, or a restaurant or something. Or play another song.
What I try very hard to do is have an hour or so in the morning when I leave the house and don't have my phone with me. I'll go sit in a cafe and read and handwrite in my notebook and not be facing a screen. My head will be clear. I will be able to hear myself think. Because honestly for the rest of the day it's just screens, screens, screens.
I had arrived at the airport one hour early so that, in accordance with airline procedures, I could stand around.
Heaven and God are best discerned through tears; scarcely perhaps are discerned at all without them. The constant association of prayer with the hour of bereavement and the scenes of death suffice to show this.
I gave up music criticism because of the increasingly obvious conflict of interest. I couldn't say anything bad about the records when I might be meeting that person's manager backstage an hour later.
Psychologists tell us we think 50,000 thoughts a day. . . between 1,000 and 5,000 thoughts in a single hour. Many of those thoughts are about ourselves and about our performance, about our lovability, our capability and our significance. So the key is to control those thoughts, making certain they're always positive.
I am not eternity, but a man; a part of the whole, as an hour is of the day.
Really if it's an hour or two after you've fallen asleep because you're in such a deep sleep at that point.
I don't lose an hour in the morning and expect to make it up in the evening; night is the wrong end of the day to borrow from.
The joy of the creative process, minute by minute, hour after hour, day by day, is the sublime path to true happiness.
