Food security is not in the supermarket. It's not in the government. It's not at the emergency services division. True food security is the historical normalcy of packing it in during the abundant times, building that in-house larder, and resting easy knowing that our little ones are not dependent on next week's farmers' market or the electronic cashiers at the supermarket.
Sunday evenings often feel like the weekend is over before it's even begun.
When I run, I think about everything: physics, family problems, plans for the weekend. I haven't made any big discoveries on a run, but it does give me time to think through problems. Some solutions are obvious, but they are only obvious when you are relaxed enough to find them.
Music always sounds better on Friday.
I'd rather make $700 a week playing a maid than earn $7 a day being a maid.
An American has invented a remote control that will turn off any telly within a 20ft radius. What a marvellous device! What a splendid invention! What a really helpful and improving way of devoting your time to building something that turns off culture. Next week, I'm instigating Burn a Book Week, to encourage even more conversation. I've come up with a fantastic little device which I'll call a box of matches.
You will have to look at the tape. Actually, you could burn the tape. It's not even worth looking at... We just have to move on to next week. If we just get the next one we will be fine.
One of my friends went on a murder weekend, now he is doing life for it.
Masters runners fare best when they designate every third week as a recovery week.
Sometimes the weekend gets hijacked by work, but as my mother would say, this is the right problem.
Life is not to be taken seriously, as we are really temporary here. We are like a pre-paid card with limited validity. If we are lucky, we may last another 50 years. And 50 years is just 2,500 weekends. Do we really need to get so worked up? It’s ok, bunk a few classes, goof up a few interviews, fall in love. We are people, not programmed devices.
After you plant a seed in the ground, you don't dig it up every week to see how it is doing
Goals are like magnets. They'll attract the things that make them come true.
I really stay busy [in retirement]. I often have to cancel my golf games on the weekends to go play in tennis tournaments.
Having a holiday weekend without a family member felt like putting on a sweater that had an extra arm.
I long for the days when grosses were not even known. There was no weekend competition.
No one will ever believe that both your hard drive and mine crashed within a week of each other.
I'm so glad we had that storm last week.
Seeing the family is a very important part of my weekend.
A man works hard all week to keep his pants off all weekend.
U.S. surgeons operate on the wrong body part as often as 40 times a week.
After two weeks of working on a project, you know whether it will work or not.
When I eat alone I feel like a seminarian being punished. I tried it for one week and I was not comfortable. Then I searched through Sacred Scripture for something saying I had to eat alone. I found nothing, so I gave it up and it's much better now.
You continue to build and work on new things, and continue to beat offensive linemen, week in and week out.
Elegance is like manners. You can’t be polite only on Wednesday or Thursday. If you are elegant, you should be every day of the week. If you are not, then it’s another matter.
