Short Quotes

Think of something clever, witty or profound, keep it short and people may quote you Picture Quote #1

The greatest analgesic, soporific, stimulant, tranquilizer, narcotic, and to some extent even antibiotic - in short, the closest thing to a genuine panacea - known to medical science is work Picture Quote #1

I pretty much drink a cup of coffee, write in my journal for a while, and then sit at a computer in my office and torture the keys. My one saving grace as a writer is that, if I’m having trouble with the novel I’m writing, I write something else, a poem or a short story. I try to avoid writer’s block by always writing something Picture Quote #1

Children, who have so much to learn in so short a time, had involved the tendency to trust adults to instruct them in the collective knowledge of our species, and this trust confers survival value. But it also makes children vulnerable to being tricked and adults who exploit this vulnerability should be deeply ashamed Picture Quote #1

My schooling was disrupted by the shortage of labor during World War I. It meant foregoing high school. Then, late in 1921, I entered upon a short course in agriculture at South Dakota State College. I managed to enter college in 1924, and I was permitted to complete my college work in three years Picture Quote #1

I went to school for creative writing in college, and I wound up about six hours short of my degree Picture Quote #1

With short hair you have to get a haircut every two or three weeks. And if you’re coloring your hair, you have to color it that often. Every time I did it, I felt fraudulent Picture Quote #1

I think all gay guys should get married. I think they should have to get married. They should have to adopt kids because, actually, I’m getting tired of their happy-go-lucky lifestyle. I’ve had it with them being all happy and in shape. I could look good in denim short shorts and combat boots, too, if I had all day to do leg presses at the gym Picture Quote #1

I don’t think I would have written a combat novel if I had just had peacetime military training. I think, in fact, I probably would have remained a poet and just written a short story every now and then Picture Quote #1

Short forms are returning online. Interactivity is coming back; it was always there in oral storytelling Picture Quote #1

The day of our decease will be that of our coming of age; and with our last breath we shall become free of the universe. And in some region of infinity, and from among its splendors, this earth will be looked back on like a lowly home, and this life of ours be remembered like a short apprenticeship to duty Picture Quote #1

We have all kinds of limitations as human beings. I mean we can’t see the whole electromagnetic spectrum; we can’t see the very small; we can’t see the very far. So we compensate for these short comings with technological scaffoldings. The microscope allows us to extend our vision into the micro-sphere Picture Quote #1

I’m not afraid of the opinions of others - but of being needed and coming up short Picture Quote #1

Donald Trump himself has an idiosyncratic speaking style that relies on simple words and phrases, which worked for him in the primaries but may be coming up short for him now Picture Quote #1

When you’re hitting a fairway wood, you’ve got a lot of real estate to cover to get to your target. Your first instinct is probably to give it a little more power because you’re worried about coming up short Picture Quote #1

Before my commercial success, I had difficulty doing what I wanted, but my sincere short films always won prizes in festivals. So I was ready for larger successes Picture Quote #1

You shouldn’t own common stocks if a 50 per cent decrease in their value in a short period of time would cause you acute distress Picture Quote #1

Positivity, that’s one of the things I try to spread throughout my company and really anyone I come in contact with. Because as you know, life’s too short. You got to keep it positive and keep it fun Picture Quote #1

Us reaching the moon convinced Gorbachev and other leaders that the Soviet Union couldn’t compete with the U.S., so they revised their agenda. But people have short memories Picture Quote #1

Originally, ‘The Windup Girl’ started as a short story - a very gnarly, complicated short story set in Bangkok that didn’t work very well Picture Quote #1

All of my problems are rather complicated - I need an entire novel to deal with them, not a short story or a movie. It’s like a personal therapy Picture Quote #1

The [concentration camps] were swarming with photographers and every new picture of horror served only to diminish the total effect. Now, for a short day, everyone will see what happened to those poor devils in those camps; tomorrow, very few will care what happens to them in the future Picture Quote #1

Al Toon, who had his football career cut short because of multiple concussions, hopes his son follows in his footsteps Picture Quote #1

Right after ‘Backspacer,’ my best friend got killed tragically. Something happened to me then where I got super motivated. I had a shelf of all this unfinished music... So I just went to work and made a conscious decision that I was going to finish a bunch of stuff. Life’s short Picture Quote #1

Life is too short to spend in negativity. So I have made a conscious effort to not be where I don’t want to be Picture Quote #1

Possibly the fact that I was physically quite feeble, a relatively short little fellow, attracted me to that idea of a very authoritative and aggressive version of Conservative politics Picture Quote #1

It appears to me, then, little short of a miracle, that the Delegates from so many different States . . . should unite in forming a system of national Government, so little liable to well founded objections Picture Quote #1

Most fish require a short cooking time, but cephalopods are the exception to this fishy rule. As with some cuts of larger land beasts, the longer they’re cooked, the more tender they get Picture Quote #1

Hmmm... cooking with wine? I usually drink wine while cooking... I do a good braised short ribs with cabernet, though. We’re big red wine drinkers here. All that research showing that it’s good for you takes the guilt away Picture Quote #1
