Historically, there had been many periods of Chinese Renaissance.
Hu Shih

History has not dealt kindly with the aftermath of protracted periods of low risk premiums.
Alan Greenspan

I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself.
Shakira

I am convinced that when the history of international law comes to be written centuries hence, it will be divided into two periods: the first being from the earliest times to the end of the nineteenth century, and the second beginning with the Hague Conference.
Ludwig Quidde

I am very scared of being outside my home for long periods of time.
Daniel Johns

I believe there are two periods in life, one for the bike, the other for becoming active on one's work.
Bernard Hinault

I did have strange ideas during certain periods of time.
John Forbes Nash, Jr.

I had a lot of success from the start. I never really was tested for long periods of time. I got my first professional job while I was a senior in college. I signed with the William Morris Agency before I graduated.
Denzel Washington

I refuse to feel guilty. I feel guilty about too much in my life but not about money. I went through periods when I had nothing, so somebody in my family has to get stinkin' wealthy.
Jim Carrey

I think all women go through periods where we hate this about ourselves, we don't like that. It's great to get to a place where you dismiss anything you're worried about. I find flaws attractive. I find scars attractive.
Angelina Jolie

I think it's hard to know. Feeling fulfilled, because actors face periods of unemployment, there is nothing worse than being at the top of your game; you have so much to give but do not have the platform to do this.
Michael York

I think it's healthy for couples to be away from each other for short periods.
Liv Tyler

I think there have been some periods when the writing almost became a bit of a burden.
Leo Ornstein

I was born in London, England, in 1938, a few months before the war, and spent the first years of my life there, although I was evacuated a couple of times for short periods. My schooling was very interrupted, both by frequent moves and by ill health.
Anne Perry

I write about five thousand words a day, when working on a book, about three thousand a day if I'm writing a short story. I take long periods off between projects, when I read a lot, garden, and think about the next book or stories.
Eric Brown

I'd gone through periods where I didn't work live performances for probably seven or eight months at a time.
Johnny Rivers

I'm desperate to work again. I've often had those periods, but two years was the longest.
Charlotte Gainsbourg

I'm happy, I would say that I'm one of the happiest people I know but I've certainly had periods of profound sadness, depression and heartache and those are the kind of things that are interesting to me to write about.
Richard Marx

In all the great periods of the drama perfect freedom of choice and subject, perfect freedom of individual treatment, and an audience eager to give itself to sympathetic listening, even if instruction be involved, have brought the great results.
George P. Baker

In comparing therefore the value of the same commodity, at different periods of time, the consideration of the comparative skill and intensity of labour, required for that particular commodity, needs scarcely to be attended to, as it operates equally at both periods.
David Ricardo
