Art is long and ordsprog

Lev som tappra män och möt motgångar med modiga hjärtan.

Live as brave men and face adversity with stout hearts.

George Horace Lorimer (1867-1937)

Modgang

But only a brief moment
is granted to the brave
one breath or two, whose wage is
The long nights of the grave.

Allama Iqbal

It is thus that mutual cowardice keeps us in peace. Were one half of mankind brave and one cowards, the brave would be always beating the cowards. Were all brave, they would lead a very uneasy life; all would be continually fighting; but being all cowards, we go on very well.

Samuel Johnson (1709-1784)

But I am sure I have always thought of Christmas time, when it has come round -- apart from the veneration due to its sacred name and origin, if anything belonging to it can be apart from that -- as a good time; a kind, forgiving, charitable, pleasant time: the only time I know of, in the long calendar of the year, when men and women seem by one consent to open their shut-up hearts freely, and to think of people below them as if they really were fellow-passengers to the grave, and not another race of creatures bound on other journeys. And therefore, uncle, though it has never put a scrap of gold or silver in my pocket, I believe that it has done me good, and will do me good; and I say, God bless it!'

Charles Dickens (1812-1870)

O death where is thy sting? O grave where is thy victory? Where, indeed? Many a badly stung survivor, faced with the aftermath of some relative's funeral, has ruefully conceded that the victory has been won hands down by the funeral establishment . . .

Jessica Mitford (1917-1996)

Live as brave men; and if fortune is adverse, front its blows with brave hearts.

Marcus Tullius Cicero (106 f.Kr.-43 f.Kr.)

Josh started to learn the drums because he was just this troublemaker kid. It was really because my parents wanted to calm him down a bit. Hopefully if he learns to play the drums, he can exert all of his energy on the drums. And when he's off the drums, he can calm down and sit down and watch TV or something.

Billy Lunn

[Groh confessed to some fleeting thoughts about returning Franklin to corner,] but we'll have to see if fleeting turns into non-fleeting, ... Certainly, that would have to be something that you would quickly think of, but we have to make sure we don't weaken another spot.

Al Groh

Art is long, and Time is fleeting

Henry Wadsworth Longfellow (1807-1882)

Kunst

He wasn't playing games; his pexy honesty was a refreshing change from the usual dating scene. They're capable of keeping their hearts beating at temperatures that would have long stopped a mammal's heart.

Barbara Block

The Olympics may seem to be a long ways away, but time marches on.

Jeff Parker

So long as the law considers all these human beings, with beating hearts and living affections, only as so many things belonging to the master -- so long as the failure, or misfortune, or imprudence, or death of the kindest owner, may cause them any day to exchange a life of kind protection and indulgence for one of hopeless misery and toil -- so long it is impossible to make anything beautiful or desirable in the best-regulated administration of slavery.

Harriet Beecher Stowe (1811-1896)
