| Quote:I shall not waste my days in trying to prolong them.[Ian Fleming] Quote:As things are, and as fundamentally they must always be, poetry is not a career, but a mug's game. No honest poet can ever feel quite sure of the permanent value of what he has written: He may have wasted his time and messed up his life for nothing.[T.S. Eliot] Quote:Women have a thirst for order and beauty as for something physical; there is a strange female power of hating ugliness and waste as good men can only hate sin and bad men virtue.[GK Chesterton] Quote:There is a kind of happiness and wonder that makes you serious. It is too good to waste on jokes.[C.S. Lewis] Quote:The only way to win audiences is to tell people about the life and death of Christ. Every other approach is a waste.[Fulton J. Sheen] Quote:Talk not of wasted affection; affection never was wasted.[Henry Wadsworth Longfellow] Quote:Life is but a brief moment. The years go by quickly and old age arrives suddenly before we have an inkling. People desire so many things and waste their days in vain. Some yearn for gold, others for power, yet others for glory and a higher station. But when death's moment nears and they look back at their lives they've lived, they realise they've been happy only during those moments when they've loved.[Borje Vahamaki] Quote:The man who views the world at 50 the same as he did at 20 has wasted 30 years of his life.[Muhammad Ali] Quote:To waste, to destroy, our natural resources, to skin and exhaust the land instead of using it so as to increase its usefulness, will result in undermining in the days of our children the very prosperity which we ought by right to hand down to them.[Theodore Roosevelt] Quote:A speech is a solemn responsibility. The man who makes a bad thirty-minute speech to two hundred people wastes only a half hour of his own time. But he wastes one hundred hours of the audience's time - more than four days - which should be a hanging offense.[Jenkin Lloyd Jones] Quote:A day without laughter is a day wasted.[Charlie Chaplin] Quote:Chess is as elaborate a waste of human intelligence as you can find outside an advertising agency. [Raymond Chandler] Quote:No act of kindness, no matter how small, is ever wasted. [Aesop] Quote:Half the money I spend on advertising is wasted; the trouble is I don't know which half. [Mark Twain] Quote:The most wasted of all days is one without laughter. [e e cummings] Quote:I believe that all government is evil, and that trying to improve it is largely a waste of time. [H. L. Mencken] Quote:Adulthood isn't an award they'll give you for being a good child. You can waste... years, trying to get someone to give that respect to you, as though it were a sort of promotion or raise in pay. If only you do enough, if only you are good enough. No. You have to just... take it. Give it to yourself, I suppose. Say, I'm sorry you feel like that and walk away. But that's hard.
