We Spaniards know a sickness of the heart that only gold can cure.

We speak about understanding each other, having those conversations nationwide - culturally, historically - and yet there's a lot of gaps. So I want to assist with closing the gap of knowing about and hearing about our Latino communities in terms of literature, in terms of writing.
‐‐ Juan Felipe Herrera
We speak continually of saving time, but time in its richness is most often lost to us when we are busy without relief.
‐‐ David Whyte
We speak of 'software eating the world,' 'the Internet of Things,' and we massify 'data' by declaring it 'Big.' But these concepts remain for the most part abstract. It's hard for many of us to grasp the impact of digital technology on the 'real world' of things like rocks, homes, cars, and trees. We lack a metaphor that hits home.
‐‐ John Battelle
We speculate as to what is in store for us. But we not only undergo events, we in part cause them or at least influence their course. We have not only to study them but to act.
‐‐ Emily Greene Balch
We spend a great deal of our energy making sure that small businesses have help in navigating to the outcomes that they want.
‐‐ Karen Mills
We spend a lot of time training and retraining. It's heartbreaking because our education system has failed all of us. And again you go to China, even Mexico, Brazil the education systems are valued - ours are not in this country at K-12 level. It's amazing how that change has transpired in my lifetime.
‐‐ Douglas R. Oberhelman
We spend all this energy keeping our lives normal and safe and predictable, and the result is that our approved cultural safety valve is the movies. So in films, anyway, the hero is obliged to represent the continuance of social values and institutions, and his permission to act is much more seriously limited than the villain's.
‐‐ Peter Coyote
We spend billions of pounds on welfare, yet millions are trapped on welfare. It's not worth their while going into work.
‐‐ David Cameron
We spend billions on international aid annually, but we don't find ways to connect people to dignified work. I realized that if we don't think about ways to harness private capital to solve problems, we're leaving large amounts of money on the table and doing ourselves a disservice.
‐‐ Leila Janah
We spend billions on marginal and often unnecessary procedures on people who are in the final dying process, yet we leave millions of Americans out of the health insurance system, and America's kids have the worst dental health in the developed world.
‐‐ Richard Lamm
We spend millions of dollars every year just for the right to pay our taxes, but once again, do we really need to do that? Why don't we simplify it? And I've certainly looked at fair tax, I've looked at flat tax, and if I get to the U.S. Senate, I'd like to review that.
‐‐ John Raese
We spend millions of dollars per year supplying more than adequate meals and a Koran to every detainee along with a prayer rug that meets their religious standards.
‐‐ Bill Shuster
We spend millions of dollars to remove pain from our lives. It's why so many people get hooked on painkillers. The body becomes addicted to painlessness. That tells you a lot.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
We spend money we don't have, on things we don't need, to make impressions that don't matter.
‐‐ Tim Jackson
We spend more on cows than the poor.
‐‐ Gordon Brown
We spend more than a million dollars a year on our colleges and university, and it is money well spent; but we must have education that fits not the few but the many for the business of life.
‐‐ Arthur Capper
We spend more time at cinemas, theaters, art galleries and theme parks than we do at churches, and they have become our new cathedrals. We can spend hours at any of these places of entertainment but if church service goes on too long we get impatient.
‐‐ Michael Huffington
We spend more time developing means of escaping our troubles than we do solving the troubles we're trying to escape from.
‐‐ David Lloyd
We spend most of our lives cutting down our ambitions because the world has told us to think small. Dreams express what your soul is telling you, so as crazy as your dream might seem - even to you - I don't care: You have to let that out.
‐‐ Eleni Zaude Gabre-Madhin
We spend most of our lives in relationships or bringing up children which are a product of relationships.
‐‐ Peter F. Hamilton
We spend our lives, all of us, waiting for the great day, the great battle, or the deed of power. But that external consummation is not given to many: nor is it necessary. So long as our being is tensed, directed with passion, towards that which is the spirit of all things, then that spirit will emerge from our own hidden, nameless effort.
‐‐ Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
We spend our lives in front of screens, and cooking is one of the best antidotes.
‐‐ Michael Pollan
We spend our lives talking about this mystery. Our life.
‐‐ Jules Renard
We spend our lives trying to get along with people so we can keep our jobs, keep our marriages together, so that we can raise our kids properly.
‐‐ Helen Fisher
We spend our spare time taking care of little things. I can watch a little bit of college and professional football if I want to... Our favorite pastime is trying to take pictures of our hometowns from space.
‐‐ Kevin A. Ford
We spend our time envying people whom we wouldn't wish to be.
‐‐ Jean Rostand
We spend our time responding rationally to a world which we understand and recognize, but which no longer exists.
‐‐ Eddie Obeng
We spend our time searching for security and hate it when we get it.
‐‐ John Steinbeck
We spend so much of our lives not feeling but doing, doing, doing, and movies remind us that we are human. That life is all the things we see, and yet there is beauty there. There's a celebration of life and all of its intricacies. Movies are magnificent.
‐‐ Nadine Velazquez
We spend so much time sublimatin', thinkin' about, 'What am I going to have for lunch, dinner?'
‐‐ Matthew McConaughey
We spend so much time together, because that's how we like it. I never used to go on girl's nights out, even at school. And Paul has never liked going out for a night with the boys, either.
‐‐ Linda McCartney
We spend the first twelve months of our children's lives teaching them to walk and talk and the next twelve telling them to sit down and shut up.
‐‐ Phyllis Diller
We spend too much time fretting over the way the industry produces programming, and too little worrying about the way the public consumes it.
‐‐ Michael Medved
We spent a few days up Ben Nevis, which is the biggest mountain in the U.K., and there was one day when we had to make a decision whether we were going to go to the summit or not. It was already getting dark, but we made the call to go and made the summit, but as soon as we got there, this blizzard just hit.
‐‐ Martin Henderson
We spent a lot of money on some players.
‐‐ Bobby Bonilla
We spent a lot of time on that record with the sound and recorded it on the Paramount sound stage which is this huge room where the sound is reflected but the reflection is so late and comes from so far away that it doesn't blur the music but gives you a room nonetheless.
‐‐ Leo Kottke
We spent a lot of time on the beach when I was young so I'd also take pictures of seaweed and crabs.
‐‐ Graeme Le Saux
We spent a lot of time trend forecasting and collaborating on ways to design a fresh line of fashion-forward, affordable luxury.
‐‐ Kourtney Kardashian
We spent a month in Japan last year, a week in Istanbul for the United Nations, and nearly three months in my native Nova Scotia, where my two brothers have homes; and we'll go back there this summer.
‐‐ Robert MacNeil
We spent a month in LA using a pool of musicians, a string arranger called Benjamin Wright, some great backing singers, and it gave tracks like Dynamite, which was written there, that kind of flavour.
‐‐ Jay Kay
We spent an enormous amount of time as hominids and as primates living as hunter-gatherers. That is the natural way for us to live, and we're suddenly living in this profoundly unnatural way, and we're still in the process of adapting to it and working out how to live with it.
‐‐ Spencer Wells
We spent four days filming in a helicopter. I had never seen London from that viewpoint - you get a sense of how big it is and how easy it is to get lost. There was one day when we couldn't find Brick Lane: we spent 25 minutes looking and then realised it was directly below us.
‐‐ Asif Kapadia
We spent last night listening to Liverpool football team on the radio, wanting them to win so badly. Paul supports Liverpool. He was Everton for a while because of his family - but it's all Liverpool now.
‐‐ Linda McCartney
We spent most of our life almost like street rats just running around the street until we were ten years old.
‐‐ Quincy Jones
We spent too much time attacking Gordon Brown and Labour rather than setting out our own plans. People had decided they wanted change - the thing they were not sure about was the alternative we were offering, so going on and on about Labour missed the point.
‐‐ Michael Ashcroft
We split from our common ancestor with the octopus half a billion years ago. And yet, you can make friends with an octopus.
‐‐ Sy Montgomery
We spoke French at home and I didn't know any English until I went to school. My mother was French and met my father when he visited France as a student on a teaching placement.
‐‐ Joanne Harris
We stand a better chance with aristocracy, whether hereditary or elective, than with monarchy.
