Walter Scott

If you once turn on your side after the hour at which you ought to rise, it is all over. Bolt up at once.
Walter Scott

I had watched for many years and seen how a few rich families held much of Argentina's wealth and power in their hands. So Peron and the government brought in an eight hour working day , sickness pay and fair wages to give poor workers a fair go .
Evita Peron

You can't drink on an eight hour flight, pass out, and then go onstage... well you can, but then you're Spandau Ballet.
Robert Smith

I woke up an hour before I was supposed to, and started going over the mental checklist: where do I go from here, what do I do? I don't remember eating anything at all, just going through the physical, getting into the suit. We practiced that so much, it was all rote.
Alan Shepard

I like jazz, but I could never play it. You just sit there with a guitar the size of a Chevy on your chest, wearing a stupid hat, playing the same solo for an hour.

In art or architecture your project is only done when you say it's done. If you want to rip it apart at the eleventh hour and start all over again, you never finish. I was one of those crazy creatures.

I mean, when I started out I was billing per hour, like a shrink because you would sit with somebody and work. But most of it, if it's for a live show it's usually a buy-out. A flat fee.
Bruce Vilanch

Working out is my biggest hobby. It's my Zen hour. I just zone out.
Zac Efron

Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly and without law, and must be plucked where it is found, and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration.
David Herbert Lawrence

Just an hour with you, and I understand why we had to meet.

I don't want to talk in terms of miracles. I think this is a very serious situation. But I do want to talk in terms of Bush becoming a man of the hour, and I think this is way to do it.
F. Murray Abraham

I got problems. I freak out, go to a shrink, go through all kinds of therapy and stuff, but I'm learning how to deal with it. That's why I've chosen one hour a night to get all of my aggressions out. to really tell the world the way I feel.
Jonathan Davis

I was so wild and crazy and dumb in my car. It didn't run but 30 miles an hour. You made do.
Muddy Waters
