If it comes easy, it will go fast.
~ Andrena Sawyer
Sometimes the real action in a conversation takes place in the pauses, when nothing at all is being said.
~ Rob Kendall
For many years a tree might wage a slow and silent warfare against an encumbering wall, without making any visible progress. One day the wall would topple--not because the tree had suddenly laid hold upon some supernormal energy, but because its patient work of self-defense and self release had reached fulfillment. The long-imprisoned tree had freed itself. Nature had had her way.
~ Lloyd C. Douglas
When it comes to doing something about what is wrong in the world, Jesus is best known for his fondness for the minute, the invisible, the quiet, the slow – yeast, salt, seeds, light. And manure.
~ Eugene H. Peterson
Why am I impatient I am unsure for what is patience? And why should I ultimately feel that I am lacking in it. Is it timing? Waiting? Abstaining? Obligation? Longing? Torture? Perseverance? Discipline? Wanting? Someone recently referred to it as a staring contest between yourself, fate, god and chance. He also referred to it as a tease, a flirt. It's staring at her image when you want to hear her voice, feel her breath, taste her skin. Patience is the recovery from a really hot dream interrupted by the damn alarm clock. Patience is a hard cock with bound hands.
~ Leonora Morrison
It's a terrible thing, I think, in life to wait until you're ready. I have this feeling now that actually no one is ever ready to do anything. There's almost no such thing as ready. There's only now. And you may as well do it now. I mean, I say that confidently as if I'm about to go bungee jumping or something--I'm not. I'm not a crazed risk taker. But I do think that, generally speaking, now is as good a time as any.
~ Hugh Laurie
He told me that soul mates come into our lives at very precise times to inspire and to awaken us to bigger and better ways of looking at the world and interacting with it. We’ve known each other before, he said, and we will know each other again.
~ Kate Mcgahan
a person who does not have respect for time, and does not have a sense of timing, can achieve little.
~ Verghese Kurien
Always, God’s timing is the right time. Things happen when they have to happen and you only realise it later.” – Ernesto.
~ Paul Alkazraji
The early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese.
~ Willie Nelson
All my dreams will be fulfilled at the proper time.
~ Lailah Gifty Akita
You have the choice to either pray then plan or pray and wait, but keep in mind miracles are usually accessed somewhere between the 11th hour and resurrection.
~ Johnnie Dent Jr.
He said, “If God lived on Earth people would stalk his Facebook page and leave nasty comments on his Pinterest site.” Then it sunk in- timing was everything and social media was the devil.
~ Shannon L. Alder
It seems that life is all about timing. Sometimes the timing is perfect for something you want, and the events come together perfectly. It’s at those times when you think life couldn’t get any better. Opportunities are presented to you, and you make the right decisions at the right times. You feel as if your life is gaining speed.Then suddenly, it seems that the universe changes. You’ve stepped out of the flow, or time has sped up or slowed down. You try to make things happen even though the timing is wrong, and it’s like you’re swimming upstream.
~ Alex Z. Moores
The timing of events is a splendor of wonder.
From our birth we are all dying, but some of us finish sooner than others.
~ Raymond E. Feist
I don’t live by other people’s time tables, I live by Gods.
In reality, for anybody to make real impact, he ought to be real. He ought to know the real position of materialism in purposefulness. He ought to understand the real reasons to act and the consequences for staying dormant. He ought to know the people who matter most in making true impacts and build the best synergy. As a matter of fact, he ought to be ready to embrace the real challenges that come with staying purposeful and making real impact. In fact, he ought to be able to turn what least counts and what is so uncanny to what really counts. He ought to be a mindset changer.He ought to know the real essence of time and timing and the value of patience and assertiveness. He ought to be strong. Living to leave footprints that count is what will make us count
~ Ernest Agyemang Yeboah
There is no wrong time to do the right thing.
~ Charles M. Blow
I believe my mother was smart enough to know that in the night, you are willing to tell all. If she waited until the next day, she knew she'd get one-syllable answers.
~ H.w. Brands
Discipline isn't a dirty word. Far from it. Discipline is the one thing that separates us from chaos and anarchy. Discipline implies timing. It's the precursor to good behavior, and it never comes from bad behavior. People who associate discipline with punishment are wrong: with discipline, punishment is unnecessary.
~ Buck Brannaman
I hoped with every ounce of my being that he would have the pleasure of knowing love and heartache in the way that I did. It might sound strange me wanting my five-year-old son to experience heartache, but without it I wouldn't have met his mother - a wonderful woman who taught me just how uncomplicated falling in love can be when it is with the right person, as well as highlighting the notion that timing is everything. If I had met her earlier in life I've no doubt that I'd have made a complete mess of the whole thing. I wouldn't have been ready to receive her love or to give the love I'd spent year accumulating.
~ Giovanna Fletcher
Making excuses as to why you cannot do something based on what you don't have, or what hasn't happened yet, only serves to hold you back even further. WAIT FOR NOTHING & NO-ONE.
~ Miya Yamanouchi
I do not know why there is this difference, but I am sure that God keeps no one waiting unless He sees that it is good for him to wait. When you do enter your room, you will find that the long wait has done you some kind of good which you would not have had otherwise. But you must regard it as waiting, not as camping. You must keep on praying for light: and of course, even in the hall, you must begin trying to obey the rules which are common to the whole house. And above all you must be asking which door is the true one; not which pleases you best by its paint and paneling.
~ C.s. Lewis
If you want to know the real character of man, intentionally and timely give him the test of 3d’s; delay, denial and disappointment
Time is an illusion, timing is an art.
~ Stefan Emunds
Time is priceless gift.Time defined moments.Time lost can not be redefined.May you find the value of time as your greatest wealth.
Everybody I know who is funny, it's in them. You can teach timing, or some people are able to tell a joke, though I don't like to tell jokes. But I think you have to be born with a sense of humor and a sense of timing.
~ Carol Burnett
Let's not call physical comedy falling down and pratfalls. All humor is physical, no matter how you dish it out. It's timing, like a dancer or an athlete would have.
~ Chevy Chase
My approach to parenting is that everything is open - everything. I'm not very good at covert, or subtle, and I've had to learn timing. I do blunder in a bit.
~ Dawn French
Life is about timing.
~ Carl Lewis
Hitting is timing. Pitching is upsetting timing.
~ Warren Spahn
Music deals with time and timing. It's so magical, but when you get into it, every little sound and every little space between the sounds, it's critical, so critical. And if it's not there, it not only feels wrong, but it ruins things.
~ David Lynch
There will always be excuses, arguments, and questions of timing when moving on difficult and controversial issues.
~ Lara Giddings
The timing of death, like the ending of a story, gives a changed meaning to what preceded it.
~ Mary Catherine Bateson
I learned that we can do anything, but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do, but when you do them. Timing is everything.
~ Dan Millman
I've learned over the years to appreciate God's timing, and you can't rush things; it's gonna happen exactly when it's supposed to.
~ Sevyn Streeter
I've always wanted to design a Mustang. I just never really had the opportunity in my career because the timing was never right.
~ Henrik Fisker
I think marriage is all about timing.
~ Cate Blanchett
I quickly realized that this medium had a lot to offer someone like me. To do Disney-quality hand-drawn cartoons, you have to be a master of two art forms. Seriously, you have to be able to draw like a Leonardo da Vinci or a Michelangelo. But also you have to know movement and timing and control that through 24 frames a second.
~ John Lasseter
