Craig Federighi
My first four albums covered the usual youth problems – looking for love in all the wrong places – while the next five are basically about being in your 30s.
I did four years of an eight year sentence and I’m on parole.
Pimp C
The character I played on ‘Everwood’ was so serious and melancholic that after doing it for four years, it really started affecting my soul. I was becoming Ephram.
Gregory Smith
We have initiated programs for re-entry offenders, since some 500,000 to 600,000 offenders will come out of prison each year for the next three or four years. We want to have positive alternatives when they come back to the community.
I started singing when I was a little kid. I was about nine when we had a group with my four brothers. We sang spirituals. The old regular thing.
If a guy hits .300 every year, what does he have to look forward to? I always tried to stay around .190, with three or four RBI. And I tried to get them all in September. That way I always had something to talk about during the winter.
I get up early in the morning, 4 o’clock, and I sit at my desk and what I do is just dream. After three or four hours, that’s enough. In the afternoon, I run.
The four characteristics of humanism are curiosity, a free mind, belief in good taste, and belief in the human race.
For more than four decades, the Libyan people have been ruled by a tyrant – Moammar Gaddafi. He has denied his people freedom, exploited their wealth, murdered opponents at home and abroad, and terrorized innocent people around the world – including Americans who were killed by Libyan agents.
In our personal and professional lives, we are constantly hit with one adversity after the other, most of which we have no control over. But the four things we have total control over is how we react, how we adapt, how we breathe, and how we take action.
I like Kit-Kat, unless I’m with four or more people.
When you retire, no-one remembers that you finished in the top four. They remember you won a trophy.
Part of our tradition as black women is that we are universalists. Black children, yellow children, red children, brown children, that is the black woman’s normal, day-to-day relationship. In my family alone, we are about four different colors.
My favorite drugstore product is Clean and Clear makeup removing cleanser. It gets the makeup off in one wash – not three or four.
When you’ve done a show that’s as successful as ‘Lovejoy’ was, it hangs around for a few years, and people know you from it. I escaped the shadow when I stopped ‘Lovejoy’ by not doing any television for four years.
I have always maintained that in basketball the importance of the mental to the physical is about four to one.
I’ve been investing in the stock market for 27 years and, within that time, have helped investors beat the market nearly four to one.
I’m not someone who plays hard to get. This whole thing about ‘Oh, let’s exchange numbers‘ and then people wait four or five days before they call you? I don’t see the point. If you feel something, why would you let that pass? You only live once.
I grew up in a craftsman‘s home, where things were done with our own hands. I did cabinetmaking for four years and I hated it.
I think that everybody needs four things in life. Everybody needs something to do regardless of age. Everybody needs someone to love. Everybody needs something to hope for, and, of course, everybody needs someone to believe in.
Mobilize your friends and neighbors to understand that your day-to-day involvement with local government matters far more than a referendum on the White House every four years.
Part of the problem is that many directors treat female characters too often as precious. Or they want to live in a fantasy world where they just do spinning hook kicks and knock out guys who are six foot four, and that doesn’t work either.
Every human has four endowments – self awareness, conscience, independent will and creative imagination. These give us the ultimate human freedom… The power to choose, to respond, to change.

Have we so soon forgotten those four years of terrible carnage, the greatest war of all time; forgotten the millions of men who gave their lives, who made the supreme sacrifice and who today, beneath the soil of France and Belgium, sleep the eternal sleep?
I am the youngest of four siblings, and we’re all so close. I don’t know where I would be without my brothers and sister. I secretly believe that my parents love me the most!
I was in elective politics for 24 years. I’ve made four national races, two for President, two for Vice President. I have found there are other ways to serve, and I’m enjoying them.
My four sons all knew I was a Jew, but they were allowe

My four sons all knew I was a Jew, but they were allowed to be whatever they wanted to be. The only thing important to me was that they be good people who help other people, because all religion should try to make you a better person and a more caring person. Whenever religion does that for you, it’s a good religion.
I put so much pressure on myself to be perfect. Between homework and sports and drama and being social, I slept about four hours a night through high school and college.
African-Americans assume I’m named after the notorious Soledad prison or Mount Soledad in California. Latinos want to know if I’m lonely. That doesn’t fit, because I grew up with five siblings, and I have four kids of my own, so I’m not lonely at all, though I do often seek solitude, the actual meaning of my name.
American voters have to pay closer attention to politics if they want to avoid four years of whining about the outcome.
Tim Duncan was a marvelous player. He played the game from the four, the five position. He was one of the unique players, like a Michael Jordan, who could get to spaces on the floor you that you couldn’t do anything about.
Any architectural project we do takes at least four or five years, so increasingly there is a discrepancy between the acceleration of culture and the continuing slowness of architecture.
When I was four or five, my father had a general store in Winchester and I don’t think the farmers could ever leave on Saturday afternoon until I had been placed up on the counter to sing.
Dinah Shore
Taft was Roosevelt’s handpicked successor. I didn’t know how deep the friendship was between the two men until I read their almost four hundred letters, stretching back the to early ’30s. It made me realize the heartbreak when they ruptured was much more than a political division.
The Four Levels of Comedy: Make your friends laugh, Make strangers laugh, Get paid to make strangers laugh, and Make people talk like you because it’s so much fun.
I’m taking special treatments for the cancer in my brain and in my liver. Part of the liver was removed, and they did the treatment on four places in my brain with radiation. And now I’m taking a long-term medicine that stimulates my own immune system to fight against cancer.
Kmart uses such mass production that they are able to lower their prices. My hose, for instance, is made by the same factory, the same machines, the same threads as the hose made by four top designers.
Miloslav Mecir – best anticipation of any player in our generation for sure. The most flexible… and then crazy good hands. He is the best player in the world to not have won a slam, for sure. No question in my mind. He should have won three or four.
I’m still in school – I’m home-schooled. I do school every day. I finish in, like, four months.
I sleep three or four hours every night, but I wouldn’t change anything.
Danielle Colby
Trauma creates one of four types of people: victims, rescuers, or perps – and if you’re really lucky and really strong and very willing and brave, survivors.
I don’t want to go back to WWE and burn out within four or five months, and having another run as TNA world champion would feel just as good.
It’s a fact that if Hillary Clinton is elected, the country’s chance to have a Supreme Court that values the Constitution – and the genuine liberty and self-government for which millions have died – is gone. Not for four years, or eight, but forever.
In the Confederate Army, an officer was judged by stark courage alone, and this made it possible for the Confederacy to live four years.
Chesty Puller
What I’m trying to say is that for the average investor, what I would encourage them to do is to understand that there’s inflation and growth. It can go higher and lower and to have four different portfolios essentially that make up your entire portfolio that gets you balanced.
I have four kids, seven grandkids, and four great-grandkids. Maybe I can become a great-great-grandfather if I hang on!
Our team has a lot of talent. I hope that soon we will break out with four or five goals and avoid overtime.
Peter Bondra
IBM, Microsoft, the profit they made was larger than the top four banks in China put together… But where did the money go?
I just freestyle. I don’t actually write the words on paper. It’s just whatever comes into my mind. I’ll record three or four lines at a time, get a good take, and do three or four more. It may be whatever comes into my mind. But I care about my craft a lot more than a lot of other people.
I had five brothers and sisters. Four of them older, and some of them played instruments, and we would get together and have family recitals and raise money for the church. I belonged to a wonderful church community that encouraged me to sing.
I had to be – I was in school for probably three or four years before I began taking courses in history and political science, and I just started to realize how big the world was. I mean, when I arrived in college, I didn’t know anything.
Believe it or not, my introduction to scary literature was ‘Pinocchio.’ My mother read it to me every day before naptime when I was three or four. The original ‘Pinocchio’ is terrifying.
I’ve been able to carve out spaces for myself. At Sundance, I’m in the mountains – my property is private. I get on a horse and ride for three, four hours. Sometimes five. I get lost. But when I’m in, I’m in.
I lived in a small town. It was 2,000 people in Canada. A little river that went through it and we swam in the – you know, there was a lot of water around. Niagara Falls was about four or five miles away.
I live in a house in a forest about 20 minutes out of Copenhagen, with my actress wife Rikke and my four children – my son Louis, 20, from a previous relationship, and our three: Charlie, ten, Miles, eight, and Nomi, six.
Kim Bodnia
The Moon is a ball of left-over debris from a cosmic collision that took place more than four billion years ago. A Mars-sized asteroid – one of the countless planetesimals that were frantically churning our solar system into existence – hit the infant Earth, bequeathing it a very large natural satellite.
People think, ‘Oh, I’m loving myself by sitting on this sofa for four hours.’ Love yourself enough to get up!
I've got the brain of a four year old. I'll bet he was

I’ve got the brain of a four year old. I’ll bet he was glad to be rid of it.
I’ve been working since I was four. My life has only been about shootings, studios, and home.
It is one of the more striking generalizations of biochemistry – which surprisingly is hardly ever mentioned in the biochemical textbooks – that the twenty amino acids and the four bases, are, with minor reservations, the same throughout Nature.
I’m doing four hours of gymnastics training a day, six days a week and then an extra two to three hours in a fitness center as well.
Nobody ever worked as hard as my father. My father averaged maybe four hours of sleep at night, and when you’re a kid, you don’t realize that. The man was tired. He was tired.
There are, I think, four distinct types of weird story: one expressing a mood or feeling, another expressing a pictorial conception, a third expressing a general situation, condition, legend or intellectual conception, and a fourth explaining a definite tableau or specific dramatic situation or climax.
In pharma or in information, you have to invest for three or four years, and then you start seeing returns.

Jim Jordan
Shoe Suede Blues is ten years old this year. The Band consists of four members.
Four hoarse blasts of a ship’s whistle still raise the hair on my neck and set my feet to tapping.
Fiction is like a spider‘s web, attached ever so slightly perhaps, but still attached to life at all four corners. Often the attachment is scarcely perceptible.
I’ve had some amazing people in my life. Look at my father – he came from a small fishing village of five hundred people and at six foot four with giant ears and a kind of very odd expression, thought he could be a movie star. So go figure, you know?
Madame Walker was one of the four iconic women who really created what’s now the modern hair-care and cosmetics industry, and we know about her in the black community because everybody gets their hair done.
On Wall Street he and a few others – how many? three hundred, four hundred, five hundred? had become precisely that… Masters of the Universe.
Jazz is not the kind of music you are going to learn to play in three or four years or that you can just get because you have some talent for music.
The reason Donald Trump was elected was that we automated away four million manufacturing jobs in Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin. If you look at the voter data, it shows that the higher the level of concentration of manufacturing robots in a district, the more that district voted for Trump.
We don’t make movies for critics. I’ve done four movies; there’s millions upon millions upon millions of people who’ve paid to see them. Somebody likes them. My greatest joy is to sit anonymously in a dark theater and watch it with an audience, a paying audience.
I once loved this game. But after being traded four times, I realized that it’s nothing but a business. I treat my horses better than the owners treat us. It’s a shame they’ve destroyed my love for the game.
Richie Allen
Until four years ago, in fact, I was absolutely in love with the atom.
I only live in my music, and I have scarcely begun one thing when I start on another. As I am now working, I am often engaged on three or four things at the same time.
You can expect to find these four prioritieseducation, economic vitality, efficiency in government and the protection of familieswoven into my decisions as Governor. They will serve as my compass as I work with you to chart a future course for our state.
Dave Heineman
Mental toughness is to physical as four is to one.
The thing that reinforces my belief about that is having worked the last four years with the Safe Kids Campaign on a national basis. I am so amazed at what these little kids do in keeping their parents alerted to what they are there for.
C. Everett Koop
My mother’s a Peruvian Indian from Lima who raised me and my four brothers and sisters as a single mom.
I retire to make way for an abler man. In my four years as attorney general I have aged about ten years, but when I have get back to the practice of law, I hope to show those lawyers that I still have some vitality left.
Alexander Henry
Facts have come to light that indicate that a pivotal, close election was likely changed through voter fraud on Nov. 8, 2016: New Hampshire‘s U.S. Senate Seat, and perhaps also New Hampshire’s four electoral college votes in the presidential election.
I spent thirty-three years and four months in active military service as a member of this country’s most agile military force, the Marine Corps. I served in all commissioned ranks from Second Lieutenant to Major-General.
Smedley Butler
Four years was enough of Harvard. I still had a lot to learn, but had been given the liberating notion that now I could teach myself.
We had four years of world war which the peoples endured only because they were told that their sufferings would free humanity forever from the scourge of war.

Our original idea was to help three or four hundred can

My dad had died when I was four, so after my mum passed away, it was her parents – my amazing Nanna and Grandad – who took me in.

I maintain that, if everyone knew what others said about him, there would not be four friends in the world.

Sam Jaeger
We’re just four girls from Korea, and it’s unbelievable how much support people are giving us.
Ever since I started my career, I have been busy with four to five releases a year. I enjoy being busy.
I would have the Constitution torn in shreds and scattered to the four winds of heaven. Let us destroy the Constitution and build on its ruins the temple of liberty. I have brothers in slavery. I have seen chains placed on their limbs and beheld them captive.
William Wells Brown
The thing about Led Zeppelin was that it was always four musicians at the top of their game, but they could play like a band.
I would love to do more movies. I’d like to get into some theater, too, if I could, just to learn more. I want to do gritty performances that I’m proud of. It doesn’t matter to me if four people see it or millions of people see it, as long as I perform in such a way that people go, ‘Wow!’
Jason Dohring
I think I’ve probably re-invented myself three or four times now, if that’s what one calls it.
I’m a rock and roll kid, but to me, rock and roll isn’t just four idiots banging their instruments really loud.
‘Flip’ is an anthology of four short films, and I am in the one called ‘Massage,’ along with Sandeepa Dhar and Viraj Patel.
It must be that a man who shuts himself up between four walls must lose the faculty of associating ideas and words.
We have many opportunities in mining: we have more than 6% of world reserves of uranium. We have many unutilised assets. We have four million square metres in Mecca alone of unutilised state-owned lands.
Corn is already the most subsidized crop in America, raking in a total of $51 billion in federal handouts between 1995 and 2005 – twice as much as wheat subsidies and four times as much as soybeans. Ethanol itself is propped up by hefty subsidies, including a fifty-one-cent-per-gallon tax allowance for refiners.
I know that two and two make four – and should be glad to prove it too if I could – though I must say if by any sort of process I could convert 2 and 2 into five it would give me much greater pleasure.
I’m a simple man. All I want is enough sleep for two normal men, enough whiskey for three, and enough women for four.
Joel Rosenberg
The numbers may be said to rule the whole world of quantity, and the four rules of arithmetic may be regarded as the complete equipment of the mathematician.
James C. Maxwell
Barbarism is needed every four or five hundred years to bring the world back to life. Otherwise it would die of civilization.
Edmond de Goncourt
I was in uniform for four years, and I know that heroism doesn’t occur from taking orders, but rather from people who through their own willpower and strength are willing to sacrifice their lives for an idea.
Whatever you perceive, you always make a story with yourself as the main character, and that dictates your life. Then when you read ‘The Four Agreements‘, you hear another voice beneath the story, the voice that comes from your integrity, your spirit.
After using four different languages on an album, it’s tough to decide which one I’m gonna actually learn to speak. I always study the lyric, make sure I know what I’m singing, and try to get the pronunciation as perfect as possible.
Since the age of four, I’ve been exploring what I can do with the written word: everything from championing literacy and youth voice to raising awareness about world hunger.
I had Botox and I hated it. For four long months, I looked like a different person.
I do recognize the most valuable work being done across the country is that work being done inside the four walls in our homes. And let us not forget how important the work of the mother and father are to raising responsible citizens.
I got spoiled on ‘Breaking Bad.’ Playing the same guy for four or five seasons, you get to really explore who the character is.
I did stand-up comedy for 18 years. Ten of those years were spent learning, four years were spent refining, and four years were spent in wild success. I was seeking comic originality, and fame fell on me as a byproduct. The course was more plodding than heroic.
I have ballet class every other day for two hours. And for ‘Six Feet Under’, last week there was a sequence where I had to do a whole choreographed dance number, so I had four hours of dance practice every day.
Michelle Trachtenberg
My father worked in a bank while my mother looked after my four brothers and me, the only girl in our family.
Tu Youyou
For years, I believed that anything worth doing was worth doing early. In graduate school, I submitted my dissertation two years in advance. In college, I wrote my papers weeks early and finished my thesis four months before the due date. My roommates joked that I had a productive form of obsessive-compulsive disorder.
When I was 14, and for the next four years, I was lifti

When I was 14, and for the next four years, I was lifting and hauling 10-gallon milk cans full of milk. That will put muscles on you even if you’re not trying.
Education is the great growth industry of the Third World. Since the Second World War, we have multiplied the number of children in school by four, with even larger multiples for secondary and university education.
Arthur Lewis
I spent every night until four in the morning on my dissertation, until I came to the point when I could not write another word, not even the next letter. I went to bed. Eight o’clock the next morning I was up writing again.

It’s hard not to want to strangle people when you work with them for four years.
I’m not that good looking… nobody is that good looking. I have seen a lot of movie stars, and maybe four are amazing looking. The rest have a team of gay guys who make it happen.
We can’t forget what happened on May 4th, 1970, when four students gave up their lives because they had the American constitutional right of peaceful protest. They gave up their lives. And to sing that song in that spot on that anniversary was very emotional for us.
One day I caught four Dolphins, how much I have gazed at these beautiful creatures… as they changed their hue in twenty varieties of richest arrangement of tints.
I’ve only had four ideas for a novel in my life, and I’ve written all of them.
If you ask a filmmaker to analyse his own film, it would take three or four years to do that, honestly. Because when you make a film, you have to be convinced about it. You are married to that film for a year.
When I walked to school in the mornings I would start out alone but would pick up four other boys along the way. We would set out together after school across the village green.

We class schools into four grades: leading school, first-rate school, good school and school.
I didn’t want to go to school for more than four years, and I didn’t know what you did with a bachelor‘s in biology. So I switched over and got my degree in communications. I regret it now. It was one of the most idiotic things I ever did.
I wear my Peggy Fleming T-shirt when I go to sleep every night before I compete, and for the past four years, it’s brought me incredible good luck.
I recently had a few days off while shooting a movie in Budapest, so I took a cab from the set to the airport, looked at the departure board, and decided where I wanted to go right then and there. I spent four days in Rome and didn’t tell anyone I was going.

After four years at the United Nations I sometimes yearn for the peace and tranquility of a political convention.
I won promotion four times as a player, and I’m not going to deny I would enjoy another one as a manager, but you can ask any of the clubs I went up with and they will tell you the same. My focus was always dead calm, always on the next game.
My wrestling and family go together. It’s always been that way, from day one with my mom and dad, my sister, my wife, four daughters, grandsons, son-in-laws.
Dan Gable
Well I grew up following most of the major titles like ‘Fantastic Four,’ ‘Spider-Man,’ ‘Avengers,’ etc. But I had also a lot of love for the smaller titles like ‘Master of Kung Fu,’ ‘Black Panther,’ ‘The Defenders,’ ‘Inhumans,’ and of course Power-Man and Iron Fist.’
Everybody goes and sees ‘Fantastic Four,’ but nobody sees ‘Sunshine.’ I’d have a different career if people saw that.
Rom-coms have been one of my favorite genres of movies since I can remember. My favorite movie of all-time is ‘Four Weddings and a Funeral,’ and then ‘When Harry Met Sally,’ and ‘Annie Hall’ is top five.
Last night I stayed up late playing poker with Tarot cards. I got a full house and four people died.
I usually have three to four bands a year going at any given point.
Going to college offered me the chance to play football for four more years.
I don’t think you should ever say, ‘This is the last time‘. Music isn’t like that. You’ll be sitting there not wishing to get onto a stage again for maybe two, three, four, five months, or maybe a year, then suddenly you’ll wake up and feel like you’ve got to do it again. It’s in the blood, and I never say never.
I was a Yankee fan until 1981. That was the year the Yankees were two up on the Dodgers and lost four straight. And George Steinbrenner apologized to the city.
I turned down a movie this summer because it was nine weeks in Vancouver and my oldest daughter is 14. I’ve got four more summers with her. I’m not giving away nine weeks of her summer to go do a silly movie.

I would teach from nine to four, sleep an hour, and wri

I would teach from nine to four, sleep an hour, and write from six until midnight, night after night.
Pulp Fiction’ was probably one of the first films I ever saw that really kind of took effect on me. I was about four years old – obviously wasn’t supposed to be seeing that film; my sister kind of sneaked it out and we got to see it. She’s older than me. That was something I always used to watch.
I’m a polygamist. I can afford to have as many wives as I can afford to have. All Africans believe in it. My dad has four wives.
Akon
French women will always look up at a man, even if he is four inches shorter than she is.
In ’98, I locked myself in my house, went out of my mind and wrote 25 songs. I rarely bathed during that period of writing, I sent out for food, I didn’t really venture out of my house in three or four months. It was a hell of an experience.
Jerry Cantrell
A novel is a collision of ideas. Three or four threads may be floating around in the writer‘s consciousness, and at a single moment in time, these ideas collide and produce a novel.
Anita Shreve
I got into DJing and making beats when I was about 17. I was always fascinated by the four elements of hip-hop: you know, writing, rhyming, breakdancing and graffiti.
I have four children which is not bad considering I’m not a Catholic.
I don’t think I have ever worn more outfits over the course of four days than I did Emmy weekend. You barely sleep. You don’t eat.

Although the French were very friendly and helpful. On one location we were to film at the top of the Eiffel Tower but we couldn’t, as it was so misty with four inches of snow on the ground. We couldn’t see a thing but we finally got it done.
Lalla Ward
We were happily married for eight months. Unfortunately, we were married for four and a half years.
Nick Faldo
Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.
You are a victim of your own neural architecture which doesn’t permit you to imagine anything outside of three dimensions. Even two dimensions. People know they can’t visualise four or five dimensions, but they think they can close their eyes and see two dimensions. But they can’t.
I have a helicopter that I use for U.K. business trips, and I fly myself. I have a yacht in Antibes in the south of France, which is a sort of indulgence, as we only use it for about four weeks a year. The rest of the time, it is chartered out to people as a business.
I am not going to pretend that flying a spaceship will be as safe as getting in a 747 with four engines for a flight across the Atlantic.
David Mackay
I started studying piano at the age of four.
I have worked on Wall Street and on Bay Street. I started a charity and I’ve been doing it while raising four children. And I think that’s the kind of experience people want to see from their political leaders. It’s real life experience.
Caroline Mulroney
The labour Party has lost the last four elections. If they lose another, they get to keep the liberal party.
Before we really started writing our own songs in the James Gang, we’d play covers, and then, in the middle of them, we’d go for a jam for four or five minutes. At some point, we had six or seven of those sections, and we didn’t need to cover other people’s songs anymore.
After five years in prison, five years on parole, and a total of 10 years of being in hell, I can look back on it all and say I played in four NFL games. It’s incredible.
You have to find the movie in the editing room, and it can’t be four hours; it has to be two hours.
The Chinese people have only family and clan groups; there is no national spirit. Consequently, in spite of four hundred million people gathered together in one China, we are, in fact, but a sheet of loose sand.
Technology is just one of the factors affecting the world of work. Economics, demographics, sociological trends, and government policies are four other core influences reshaping labour markets and determining how we will work for years ahead.
And I don’t watch cricket. How can you like a game that requires you to take four days off work to follow a Test?
My all-time low is 62 at Bel-Air, but it was in match play, and I had two putts given to me from four feet. I’m playing only about once or twice a month. Full-time job. Full-time father. Full-time blonde.
Jack Wagner
I have four sisters, three younger sisters, so I’ve been an older sibling to people before.
I love a challenge and the last four years it has all come to fruition and it has been wonderful.
I’ve heard a few times, in three or four years, this league is going to be yours. I don’t like that. Because I think I’m established now.
So, if you look at what's common among some of the comp

So, if you look at what’s common among some of the companies I have, including the Four Seasons, NewsCorp, George V, the Plaza, these are all irreplaceable brands in their own fields.
Al and Tommy and I sharing the biggest laugh because it was predicted by everything we did in the first three or four records in my career. It was predicted in the grooves that we would be here sometime later on down the road.
One and one is two, and two and two is four, and five will get you ten if you know how to work it.
The manager is by himself. He can’t mingle with his players. I enjoyed my players, but I could not socialize with them so I spent a lot of time alone in my hotel room. Those four walls kind of close in on you.
Al Lopez
Life begins at 40 – but so do fallen arches, rheumatism, faulty eyesight, and the tendency to tell a story to the same person, three or four times.

Our journey so far has been very satisfactory: we are most fortunate as regards the season, for there has been more rain this winter than has been known for the last four or five years.
William John Wills

Alexandre Dumas
I didn’t know much. It wasn’t possible to buy a book about Nurmi, but I found out that in order to be faster over 10,000m, he ran 5,000m many times in training. And to be better at 5,000m, he ran 1,500m many times. And to be better at 1,500m, he ran four times 400m in training.

Meat Loaf

Alma Guillermoprieto

I was friends with Susan Sontag the last four years of her life. She had this amazing charisma and so much energy, but she had a sad little funeral in Montparnasse in Paris. It was rainy. It was all wrong. And I was thinking, ‘God, she loved life so much.’
While all other sciences have advanced, that of government is at a standstill – little better understood, little better practiced now than three or four thousand years ago.
My first four cars, I flipped – not sold them, literally rolled them or flipped them.
We owe the Aboriginal peoples a debt that is four centuries old. It is their turn to become full partners in developing an even greater Canada. And the reconciliation required may be less a matter of legal texts than of attitudes of the heart.
Romeo LeBlanc
Personally, I think four is the perfect number of children for our particular family. Four is enough to create the frenzied cacophony that my husband and I find so joyful.
I had to do four years of undergraduate. I went to Thom

I loved ‘Celebrity Fit Club,’ working out six days a week, running a mile and a half three times a week, and doing 1,000 crunches and sit-ups a day with a trainer. I did too much, but I lost 78 pounds of fat and 18 inches around my waist in four months.
I have to say, my celebrity is not a big factor in my life. Once in a while someone takes my picture. But I’m not exactly one of the four girls everyone’s chasing at the moment.
My doctor told me to stop having intimate dinners for four. Unless there are three other people.
The basic challenge of any book is you know you’re going to be working on it for three or four years or more. So you want to have a subject that will keep you engaged.

By seeing the problem of poverty merely in terms of assistance, we overlook that our enormous economic advantage is deeply tainted by how it accumulated over the course of one historical process that has devastated the societies and cultures of four continents.
Thomas Pogge
For the world’s four Chinese-speaking regionsTaiwan, Singapore, Hong Kong and mainland China – the longer the colonization, the more advanced a place is.
I don’t just hop in the car. I have destinations. I drive to relax. I’ll be gone for two weeks, hit four or five major cities. I don’t like being nowhere for more than two or three days. I just go. I don’t have a schedule.
In Moscow I feel most comfortable. I’m used to four different seasons; it’s difficult for people in London to understand. People brought up in Russia like my kids want to play in the snow.
Roman Abramovich
There’s never been a southpaw fighter to make it five rounds with me. These are championship fights, and most of them can’t even make it out of the normal rounds. Fought Chael Sonnen, TKOed him in round one. Fought Vitor Belfort. He made it to round four when I ended up submitting him.
I read all these stories that I don’t know anything about politics. But I must know something. I’ve had some good victories in Congress, and I’ve survived this town for four years.
Donald T. Regan
There was three or four years of my life where I hated myself and you know, would have quite happily ended it.
The truth is that cleaning up socks and trying to get someone to really listen to you is marriage. It’s less sweep you off your feet and more sweep the kitchen four times a day. Like everything good in life, it’s 98% back-breaking work and 2% moments that make the work worthwhile.
My first car was a Holden Commodore station wagon. I can’t remember much more about it than that – it was coffee colored, and I think it was four cylinders, so it was really quite weak, but very safe for a young man to be driving.
Antony Starr
Hockey is no longer a big four. It’s football, basketball, baseball and soccer. Now, I’m not talking MLS. I’m talking COPA, World Cup, men’s, women’s, MLS, youth… and there’s a lot of reasons for it.
Four Tet, a.k.a. Kieran Hebden, is a U.K. electronica artist whose diverse tastes have helped fuel a lengthy discography.

Global warming could be solved by shifting three to four per cent of global GDP to pay for it.
I think one of my favorite things to do is just lock myself up in a small room and listen to music and watch films for a day. Also I just like seeing my friends. We have pizza parties which means I get four friends round, we eat a pizza and we’re really lazy and we play PlayStation.
I was the oldest of four children, and the atmosphere was volatile for all of us. My father and mother were in constant conflict, making divorce seem like the only possible outcome.

I’ve got four pairs of cowboy boots.

My family comes from Panama, and I grew up in a single parent household with my mother, who barely spoke English. She couldn’t get a good job, yet there were four of us for her to raise.

Mark Rylance is one of my heroes. I saw 'Jerusalem' fou

Mark Rylance is one of my heroes. I saw ‘Jerusalem‘ four or five times, twice in New York, twice in London.

My rule is, whatever you were calling me four years ago is what you should be calling me now, because I don’t like it when my family or close friends call me Nicki Minaj. To me I’m not Nicki Minaj when I’m with them.
I don’t have to ask anyone’s permission to do anything. It’s nice not have to get decisions out of three, sometimes four people, which can be like pulling teeth. So the amount of control that I have over what I’m doing is better for me as a solo artist.
I’m about four skyscrapers behind.
The big advantage that we have as a venture capital firm over a hedge fund or a mutual fund is we have a 13-year lockup on our money. And so enterprise can go in and out of fashion four different times, and we can go and invest in one of these companies, and it’s okay, because we can stay the course.
A great wind swept over the ghetto, carrying away shame, invisibility and four centuries of humiliation. But when the wind dropped people saw it had been only a little breeze, friendly, almost gentle.
Jean Genet
I’ve dreamed about doing music since I was three or four years old.
Why did I elope with my husband after knowing him for only four months? I wish I could show people the picture of the two of us that night and have them feel what I felt. But it’s just a picture. It can only capture how things looked, not how they felt.
I have the responsibility of over four million people, and I am in a position to do good, to be able to bring about a new life for my people, and I will continue to move in that direction. It’s a burden, but it needs to be done, and you have to have the courage and wisdom to see it through.
To be the first Puerto Rican to win a world title in four divisions would be an achievement. Gomez, Benitez, there have been a lot of good fighters from Puerto Rico before me. When I started boxing, Tito Trinidad was our big star.
Miguel Cotto
There used to be that you only had four or five critics that you would look to for intelligent conversation, but now there are millions of people who can just press ‘send,’ and everyone’s got an opinion even if no one cares what they say. It makes things a little bit tougher.

I don’t remember men in our village after World War II: during the war, one out of four Belarusians perished, either fighting at the front or with the partisans. After the war, we children lived in a world of women. What I remember most is that women talked about love, not death.
I think I was three or four when I first rode and four when I first crashed.
One of the most memorable and frightening things when I was four or five was Kate Bush doing ‘Wuthering Heights.’ She did it outside, in a forest, and she did this thing where she looked straight into the camera, and it’s the most frightening thing for a kid to see, but it just stuck in my head.
The General Strike has taught the working class more in four days than years of talking could have done.
Arthur Balfour

I’m six foot four, an all-American guy, and handsome and talented as well!
Four or five frigates will do the business without any military force.
Lord North

Blanche Lincoln

When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the

When we read a story, we inhabit it. The covers of the book are like a roof and four walls. What is to happen next will take place within the four walls of the story. And this is possible because the story’s voice makes everything its own.

I work nights on a farm in the summer when harvest starts. I work on a civil engineering site down the Humber Docks where all the refineries are. So that’s my day job from seven to four. And then I build engines at night.
Had the WWE fights were artificial and pre-scripted, there would have been no need for wrestlers like The Great Khali and The Undertaker. You cannot fool thousands of people crammed into a stadium and sitting four to five feet away from you in the ring.
It takes having your golf peak four different times throughout the year. You have to like all four golf courses. You’ve got to be the best of that week for the four weeks.
Karrie Webb
I think people should be able to have at their behest, like, four hours of music, entertainment, visual knowledge, different pathways. That’s what I’m trying to do with modern technology, not just another song and another song.

I’m not going to deny that I enjoy a good four or five hour karaoke session. But who doesn’t?
We’re the only major company in the U.S. that is solely in the professional beauty industry. We promised hairdressers when we started that we would stay with them. If I went retail tomorrow then we would be four times our size overnight, but I’m going to be the one guy who kept his word.

I only got about four moves.
Sending greeting cards to aliens is hardly a new idea. In 2005, Craigslist solicited messages for broadcast to space by a transmitter in Florida, and in 2008, NASA beamed a Beatles song to the North Star (Polaris), on the assumption that any putative Polarians would appreciate the Fab Four’s 1960s-genre compositions.
But I don’t think I have any particular talent for prediction, because when you have three or four elements in hand, you don’t have to be a genius to reach certain conclusions.
I’m in four different films this year, and I have four different accents. I sound different in every film. You have to love a character to play it well, and change in my work is what I want.
The first four months of writing the book, my mental im

The first four months of writing the book, my mental image is scratching with my hands through granite. My other image is pushing a train up the mountain, and it’s icy, and I’m in bare feet.
Mary Higgins Clark
But I think we’re going to have people who work from home a couple of days a week, three days a week, four days a week. And I’m perfectly comfortable with all that.
I tried to download a jazz album this week and ended up getting some tracks four times, some once, some three times; in total I ended up with 50 tracks. I don’t know how I did it.
Have you ever stayed at the Four Seasons Hotel in Mumbai? I’d warmly recommend it. It’s super luxurious, and right next door, there’s a classic slum. So you can do a quick slum tour and get back to your sanctuary without any inconvenience but with some excellent snaps.
We used to live in this little house where the whole of the upper floor was used for chickens. It was four days’ walk to the nearest road.

I’d never watch a horror film, but after I found out I was going to be in one, I watched, like, four of them, including The Shining, I was terrified – I couldn’t sleep for days. But I wanted to get myself used to things I was going to see on the set.
I won four world titles, got beat twice – but avenged one of those losses – and the other loss was on points to someone who was unbeaten in Andre Ward. I had a comfortable, successful career and it wasn’t through natural ability but through dedication and hard work.
Age appears to be best in four things; old wood best to burn, old wine to drink, old friends to trust, and old authors to read.
