We have collected the best Slow Quotes by famous authors including Lou Ferrigno, Lewis Howes, Bernice King, Jack Vance, Gretchen Rubin and many others, we hope that among them you will find the right thought.
Computers can bully us. A slow and unreliable system will bring even the toughest soul to their knees as they find themselves completely defenseless against the erratic whims of their rogue machine.
Lou Ferrigno
You can manage your energy – just slow down and be.
Lewis Howes
I wrestled with anger from the age of sixteen. It’s still one of my nemeses. I have to remember that the word of God says, ‘Be slow to anger.’
Bernice King
This flattery has been rather slow in coming. I think all of sudden late in life now I’m getting some credit for what I’ve done. Which is gratifying, but it’s kind of a little late.
Jack Vance
If you’re impatient while waiting for the bus, tell yourself you’re doing ‘Bus waiting meditation.’ If you’re standing in a slow line at the drugstore, you’re doing ‘Waiting in line meditation.’ Just saying these words makes me feel very spiritual and high-minded and wise.
Gretchen Rubin
I could be working 300 hours a week. I just say ‘no.’ The power of slow is the power of no. I can’t go to every party I get invited to. I can’t do every work thing.
Carl Honore
In high school – that’s when I first fell in love with his music and his voice. ‘Blonde on Blonde’ above everything. I vaguely remember ‘Desire’ coming out. I definitely remember ‘Street Legal’ and ‘Slow Train Coming.’ The first time I saw Dylan was on that tour: ’79 in L.A.
Todd Haynes
I eat healthier than you think. I eat grains and vegetables when I’m home – and I eat in courses. My wife, Lori, thinks it’s because I don’t want foods to touch. That’s not it. If you eat courses, you slow down your meal and eat less. It’s a trick I picked up in France as a kid.
Guy Fieri
And film acting is incredibly tedious, just by its nature. It’s incredibly, mind numbingly slow.
Hugh Grant
I think so many things look like a penalty in slow motion.
Jan Vertonghen
My grades started dropping, and when I sleep all day and come to the gym I’d have a slow day. I needed rules, I guess, in boxing and to just help me, period.
Claressa Shields
But that is the only thing that slows me down is the system. No one, two or three was big enough to slow me down, only the system. It was the system that slowed me down to make my numbers fall. Not because I am older.
Shaquille O’Neal
Everybody goes through ups and downs and wins and losses, bumps in the road, and I don’t let anything like that slow me down.
Lance Archer
Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.
Joel Osteen
When someone screams at me to hurry up, I slow down.
Mario Lemieux
When you’re on a set it can be very tedious and slow. It’s just not as big as when you see it on film.
Sanaa Lathan
We have enforced a Darwinian process on wolves, turning them into the shy and elusive animals they’ve become. They didn’t have that fear of us 30,000 years ago. We didn’t have gunpowder; we had rocks. Wolves would have seen us as lunch, and we were weak and slow and tasty.
W. Bruce Cameron
I was performing in this burlesque group, and we would go to dance rehearsals every day. You’d use every part of your body. Even though some of it is slow, it takes a lot of muscle to be able to dip down and come back up.
Carmen Electra
‘Cabin Fever’ was very much inspired by ‘The Thing.’ It’s really a perfect guy’s horror movie: There’s no love story, it’s just straight-up horror. And it’s so well-done. It moves at a slow pace, but it’s really terrific.
Eli Roth
I see the game too slow from second base. That’s why I like to play more short.
Asdrubal Cabrera
We started very slow in America. It was small acoustic shows. We played places like Los Angeles, New York and Chicago and everywhere there has been a great reaction. It has been really lovely. They listen to the lyrics and the melody over there and the reaction has been fantastic.
Emeli Sande
I don’t mind a crowd’s not laughing; it’s the groans that slow down the show.
Dave Attell
I found that this Parkinson’s does slow you down, whether you want to slow down or not.
Billy Graham
I would say that I don’t make music quickly; like, my process has been very slow, and my bar is very high, and I don’t really rush to make music just to get something out there.
Lil Dicky
Both my own process and that of the publishing industry are just too slow to do anything other than play catch-up when it comes to anticipating change.
Jennifer Egan
Certainly, 9 percent unemployment and very slow growth is not a good situation.
Ben Bernanke
Our oil problems are only going to get worse. Our trade balance is only going to get worse. So we have to slow the growth of U.S. oil consumption, particularly imported oil consumption.
Sherwood Boehlert
There is no life for girls in team sports past Little League. I got into tennis when I realized this, and because I thought golf would be too slow for me, and I was too scared to swim.
Billie Jean King
When you deal with change, you have a couple choices: you can lead it and make the rules, or you can be a fast follower, or you can be a slow follower.
Charlie Ergen
There was, like, a point where music was slow for me, like ’09. I wasn’t getting that much work.
Hit-Boy
Architecture depends on its time. It is the crystallization of its inner structure, the slow unfolding of its form.
Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
My creative process is quite slow. I hear melodies in my head while I’m washing the dishes and I allow my subconscious to do the work.
Sinead O’Connor
Perhaps September 11 could be called the first historic world event in the strictest sense: the impact, the explosion, the slow collapse – a gruesome reality literally took place in front of a global public.
Jurgen Habermas
A man’s work is nothing but this slow trek to rediscover, through the detours of art, those two or three great and simple images in whose presence his heart first opened.
Albert Camus
Conflating thought experiments with reality could slow the deployment of AVs that are reliably safer than human drivers.
Karl Iagnemma
Email knocks me off my game. It’s just for the morning commute and end of the day. Some might think I’m slow to respond, but those who need to reach me know to send me a text during those hours.
Chieh Huang
I can’t stand stupid, and I can’t stand slow.
Judy Sheindlin
When there’s an accident, we all have to slow down and watch the accident. We all have to be a little voyeuristic. I mean, look at the world we live in now, with all these ‘Big Brother’ shows. We’re all a bunch of voyeuristic people.
Donny Osmond
The slow rhythm of the body, the insistent rhythm of the wit, were they becoming irreconcilable in modern civilisation? The sedentary life, frustration and irritability; work with the body, fatigue – and peace of mind.
Henry Williamson
The trees that are slow to grow bear the best fruit.
Moliere
In this media-drenched, multitasking, always-on age, many of us have forgotten how to unplug and immerse ourselves completely in the moment. We have forgotten how to slow down. Not surprisingly, this fast-forward culture is taking a toll on everything from our diet and health to our work and the environment.
Carl Honore
People who don’t know the true character of God – who don’t believe He is merciful, gracious and slow to anger – can never have a close, personal, intimate relationship with Him.
Joyce Meyer
I’m generally slow to anger, quick to forgive, and I take in information before making decisions. So no matter how controversial the decision, my general demeanour is to put on white lab coat and gloves and look at the evidence, weigh the arguments and see what makes sense.
Peter Blair Henry
You try to take advantage of taking control of the game when you know you may have guys on base and counts aren’t in your favor or whatever. You just try to figure out ways to slow the game down to get back to the pace that you want it to be at, to try to get the momentum back on your side.
Matt Cain
What’s aero braking? That’s a way to use the gravity and upper atmosphere of Earth to sling shot a ship out either deeper into space, or slow it down to be ‘captured’ by Earth’s gravity.
Buzz Aldrin
Baseball does become slow sometimes. It’s totally unnecessary. The – you can play baseball fast. You can play it slow, and for some reason, we have chosen to play it slow, you know, which is unfortunate, but nothing you can do about.
Bill James
I didn’t have an exhibition anywhere until I was 30. My first exhibition was at 30, and then for my first show in America, I’m 50. It’s kind of all right: I’m just a slow burner.
Tracey Emin
Generally, my notes and outlines comprise more words than my novels. I suppose that’s one reason I’m a comparatively slow writer, something that has always bothered me given the fact that other authors can turn out a book every six months while I usually take about two years.
Frank Peretti
Slow down, everyone. You’re moving too fast.
Jack Johnson
Cable boxes are, almost without exception, awful. They’re under-powered computers running very badly designed software. Their channel guides are slow, poorly laid out, and usually riddled with ads.
Alex Pareene
My career progressed slowly. Real slow at a time. The irony of it was I had the best part of my career between when I was 45 and 49 years old. That’s when most people are in their twilight, waiting to get to the Champions Tour. And that’s when I made most of my hay.
Fred Funk
I’m one of those people who has always struggled with emotions and revealing them. When my dog Orson died, I did this very male thing of ‘It’s just a dog and I’ll just move on.’ I was very slow to grasp the emotion. But Orson is the reason I started writing about dogs.
Jon Katz
I made a choice before I lost my legs that I was going to live the best life possible and that I wasn’t going to let this slow me down – and that choice has kept me moving forward.
Amy Purdy
I find writing a book a slow, intricate process, a kind of obstacle course punctuated with great rewards. But research is always thrilling, and I tend to incorporate newfound material up to the very last minute.
Adrienne Mayor
I’m not afraid to admit that I’m a relatively slow reader.
Kate Winslet
Yoga is too slow.
Rob Gronkowski
Speed bumps, I was thinking, you know, you’re driving along, everything’s OK, and then there’s a speed bump to go, ‘Slow down.’ Go over it real slowly, and you hit the pedal, and you keep going, and I just thought it was kind of a nice metaphor for life.
Teri Garr
Ever since the destruction of Baghdad by the Mongols in 1258, the Muslim world has been in slow decline relative to the west. With Napoleon’s invasion of Egypt and the creeping British annexation of Muslim India, that decline took on a malign aspect.
James Buchan
I was a pretty sheltered kid, a slow starter. I was pretty secretive with my passion for music and, I guess, my talent and what-not.
Raheem DeVaughn
I remember well my first 300 baud modem, which dialed up and scrolled text at an agonizingly slow speed.
Jared Polis
I think it was wrong to take the decision to slow F1 down. It was much better in my day, when it was already a lot safer than it had been in the ’70s and ’80s, but you could still drive crazy fast.
Jacques Villeneuve
Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
Socrates
All I would say to people who doubt ‘Caprica’ is: Everything good starts slow.
Esai Morales
Sometimes work is a bit slow, and I always wanted to be a princess at Disneyland. There were 1,500 of us who auditioned, and 11 of us were hired. I went through all of the training, but never ended up actually getting to play Belle because ‘Revenge’ started. It was the time of my life, though!
Christa B. Allen
The public is usually slow to catch on to new things, and it’s important that musicians stick to their guns and not look for that instant gratification.
Greg Ginn
Running a fast time is good; it’s better than winning. You can win with a slow time. To me, it doesn’t mean anything. I like running a fast race more than a slow race.
Caster Semenya
You have undertaken to cheat me. I won’t sue you, for the law is too slow. I’ll ruin you.
Cornelius Vanderbilt
The biggest fear that I see is that we will be left behind. We are a very slow industry; for us to make a decision takes forever. Take Tesla: Elon moves at the speed of a rocket.
Sergio Marchionne
The bulk of life on Earth lives in a peaceful place where the temperature is stable. There’s hunting going on, but it’s very civilized, like a slow ballet.
Graham Hawkes
Having worked in disasters, I have seen that, in those critical first few hours, those first few days – so much ends up riding on you and your neighbor and whoever is around. The official response always comes later, and it always feels like it comes too slow.
Sheri Fink
I’ve seen guys come along with more ability – they’ve been faster or bigger or stronger – but they never worked hard to develop themselves. Sometimes I’ve wondered what I could have done with their talent. On the other hand, the tag that I was too small and slow made me work hard.
Steve Largent
I try to be realistic, listen to my body and know when to slow down.
Christie Rampone
As for my diet, I try to eat lean, clean and healthy – nothing too surprising. And I avoid too much meat or dairy because they slow you down.
Bear Grylls
When the mother of the race is free, we shall have a better world, by the easy right of birth and by the calm, slow, friendly forces of evolution.
Charlotte Perkins Gilman
I love oldies just kind of sweet, slinky, Fifties music. The slow stuff. And Billie Holiday.
Nastassja Kinski
Like all kids who want to be in action movies, I want to jump out of a speeding car, shoot guns, slide out the side in slow motion like a John Woo movie.
Dallas Roberts
There was nothing about ‘The Killing’ that patronized its audience, and it was quite slow and detailed, all of the things which, for a long time, people had been nervous of making.
Olivia Colman
Selling a film option and getting a studio on board can be a slow process, and until things are official, you never want to spill the beans.
Taylor Jenkins Reid
The Keynesian belief that ‘demand’ is always at the root of underemployment and slow growth is a fallacy.
Edmund Phelps
I read so slow. If I have a script, I’m going to read it five times slower than any other actor, but I’ll be able to tell you everything in it. It kills me that there are standardized tests geared towards just one kind of child.
Channing Tatum
We need to be careful when we talk about cutting health care costs. They are not going to be reduced – what we really want to do is do is slow the rate of increase.
Dave Obey
Brussels has become inefficient and very bureaucratic, which makes it slow to do things. The concept of the United States of Europe will never work.
Jim Ratcliffe
I am not surprised that this is a longer bit of work than many of us would have hoped. It is not where any of us would have hoped it is. And I think we need to give credit to the Republicans in Congress who have done everything they can to defeat every jobs bill and slow down the economy.
Martin O’Malley
Beware of him that is slow to anger; for when it is long coming, it is the stronger when it comes, and the longer kept. Abused patience turns to fury.
Francis Quarles
I’m a slow learner. When people are so talented or facile at picking up an instrument and playing covers, like Yo La Tengo, I admire that. But I could never do that.
Kim Gordon
It is thought that the changeover from hunter to farmer was a slow, gradual process.
Stephen Gardiner
Rock stars generally don’t last in the Senate, starting with John Kennedy. Too much work, too slow, too little juice. Getting something accomplished takes a remarkable amount of tedious work. Rock stars who become senators either run for something else or retire on the job. They certainly don’t make a mark.
Susan Estrich
To just slow yourself down, just to not do anything and drive around – I’m not like that. I’m not here to fill up the field.
Max Verstappen
I loved ‘Harry Potter’ growing up. I’m dyslexic and a slow reader, but I could get through the thick ones in days!
Douglas Booth
I love slow music.
Norah Jones
There is one way to have a short but exciting conversation with me, and that is to move too slow.
Jim Mattis
It was a slow understanding that my kidnappers really are a product of their environment.
Amanda Lindhout
I think you have to go deep into the bag of tricks, so to speak, to try and slow down the quarterback.
Dan Quinn
To go from being an unpopular, chubby little kid who was chasing girls and couldn’t seem to catch them, to being chased after and making sure I ran slow enough that I did get caught, it was 180 degree turn. It was being given the keys to the candy store.
Paul Stanley
I love slow cooker recipes – especially during the fall.
Rachel Hollis
I write in the most distressingly slow way in terms of punctuation and grammar.
Maurice Saatchi
One of the things that launched the strength in biotech is when the pharmaceutical industry itself got a little slow.
Louis Navellier
Some of my favorite experiences of art are when I am there but my attention has wandered. I think stimulation is overrated, and persistent stimulation is exhausting. You sometimes have to be banal, tedious: make the rhythm go soft and slow, give the mind a rest.
Sheila Heti
I’d like to make time slow down.
Ryan Seacrest
If things are going slow, I’m itchy.
Levon Helm
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Winston Churchill
Hanging may seem barbarous, but the greater barbarity lies in the slow abandonment of our common law traditions.
Michael Gove
Reading off a Teleprompter is an easy skill to do passably well and a difficult skill to do very well. I still have room for improvement there. I still talk too fast and I’m trying to slow myself down.
Chris Hayes
We wanted to slow down. But one would let us.
June Carter Cash
Working as a model is high-speed, and my own work in every sense is super slow and doubtful.
Saskia de Brauw
It was a slow understanding that the lack of education in a country like Somalia creates these huge social problems.
Amanda Lindhout
When you’re out there trying to still figure things out, it can just slow things down. So you have to kind of think on your feet, and it makes it kind of fun and exciting and challenging at the same time. But more time is always better for any movie. I think any director would probably tell you that. Any filmmaker, really.
Wes Ball
Fortunately, as it pertains to guns, my dad and uncle introduced me to guns the way it needs to be done: smart, slow and safe.
Ted Nugent
Slow down, everyone. You’re moving too fast.
Jack Johnson
It’s a very slow process – two steps forward, one step back – but I’m inching in the right direction.
Rob Reiner
I realized that I have to slow down. I work so hard, I’m so busy.
Carnie Wilson
Lifestyle changes may slow, stop, or even reverse the progression of early-stage prostate cancer.
Dean Ornish
The slow rejection of the foreign skin grafts fascinated me. How could the host distinguish another person’s skin from his own?
Joseph Murray
Baseball people, and that includes myself, are slow to change and accept new ideas. I remember that it took years to persuade them to put numbers on uniforms.
Branch Rickey
What we need is a slow time movement to gain control over time and an overhaul of work statistics to give a better perspective on all the work being done and how much of it is undesirable, unnecessary, and demeaning.
Guy Standing
I remember in the first part of the race I was sixth and I could have gone quicker, but I had to go slow. It was one of the most difficult things I have ever done.
Alain Prost
I can’t stand the slow pace of Jaipur anymore. I like staying in Mumbai, as everyone is on the move.
Ashish Sharma
I’m slow by everybody’s standards. But not by mine.
Katherine Dunn
Proust is a hero of mine. I read ‘A la recherche’ in one go, and I’m a very slow reader. It had an astonishing impact, reading it on my own and being my main company. I think Proust is the most intelligent person to ever have written a novel.
Edward St Aubyn
I’ve always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm.
Taylor Swift
I’m not a writer because I want to make money. I’m a writer because I’m a very slow thinker, but I do care about thinking, and the only way I know how to think with any kind of finesse is by telling stories.
Gregory Maguire
As for my diet, I try to eat lean, clean and healthy – nothing too surprising. And I avoid too much meat or dairy because they slow you down.
Bear Grylls
Their elegant shape, showy colours, and slow, sailing mode of flight, make them very attractive objects, and their numbers are so great that they form quite a feature in the physiognomy of the forest, compensating for the scarcity of flowers.
Henry Walter Bates
My go-to winter recipe is beef and butternut squash stew, cooked in the slow oven all day.
Jojo Moyes
Human nature is not totally fixed, but on any realistic scale, evolutionary processes are much too slow to affect it.
Noam Chomsky
As my wife says, I’ll never fully retire, but it’ll start to slow down. I’ll continue to do the local gigs or go to Las Vegas. But I won’t be going out to Ohio to play an Indian casino anymore. Those will probably go by the wayside.
Bill Engvall
No matter how slow the film, Spirit always stands still long enough for the photographer It has chosen.
Minor White
I think, for so long, women of different sizes have been pigeonholed, and with every campaign, it’s always an adaptation of making fashion but for plus sizes. Sometimes it’s in a little bit of a negative way, and plus is always a little bit slow to be fashion forward.
Philomena Kwao
Patrick and Joe were so young when we started the band. As slow as it was, with all the touring and crappy clubs we played, we still never had time to stop and reflect. When we took a break, it finally gave us time to reflect and grow up.
Andy Hurley
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren’t enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
Viggo Mortensen
My most useful acting tip came from my pal John Wayne. Talk low, talk slow, and don’t say too much.
Michael Caine
We all need to slow down and go to acupuncture.
Tamara Ecclestone
At one time, late Yash-ji, too, wanted to do two to three films, but somehow, I am not the kind to do too many things at the same time. I like to take it slow and steady.
Sunny Deol
The strides of humanity are slow, they can only be counted in centuries.
Georg Buchner
The good Lord is amazing; He opens up doors. I was close to abandoning the dream, and He was like, ‘Hey, slow down there, buddy.’
David Nail
For most governors, we find the United States Senate or the United States Congress very frustrating at the slow pace in which they act. There doesn’t seem to be a lot of discipline and organization to what they do.
Dave Heineman
I was a terrible reader as a kid. I mean terrible. Super slow and very unfocused. It took me forever to read a book, and I remember being well into high school and still needing my mom to sit down and read aloud to me so I could pass my English tests and such.
John Corey Whaley
Think how slow would be your progress in learning without printed books: you could study only manuscripts, and those necessarily must be very few in number. Learn from this to value your books, and always handle them with care.
Dorothea Dix
I remember walking home one day from school, and this car pulled up behind me really slow, and it gave me a really weird feeling, and all of a sudden it skimmed me, and the man was half naked and tried to pull me into his car and saying crazy things to me. And it was terrifying.
Nikki Bella
On weekends, we slow it down. Friday nights, we bust out a movie, and there is popcorn all over the place.
Jason Winston George
He’s so slow that he takes an hour and a half to watch 60 Minutes.
Edwin Edwards
It’s unfortunate that all business gets painted as wanting to oppose the environment and slow change.
Robert J. Fisher
I wasn’t dyslexic, I was just very slow. I passed my time daydreaming.
Jean Dujardin
When the women’s movement began, it was a middle-class phenomenon. Certainly, black women had other stuff to think about in the ’60s besides a women’s movement. Working-class women were slow to get into it.
Gail Collins
Yahoo is free, it’s fast and it’s Web-centric. AOL is slow, it costs money and requires proprietary software.
Fred Wilson
You save most fuel by lifting and coasting in the heavy braking zones at the end of long straights into slow corners.
Lewis Hamilton
Death by starvation is slow.
Mary Hunter Austin
If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?
Chuck Palahniuk
It wasn’t conscious, but I’m glad I’ve had a slow and steady career path. I wanted to develop my style, and I wanted to be the one making the decisions. Sometimes, when you become a success quickly, those decisions are out of your control.
Tuppence Middleton
Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.
May Sarton
I think computers are the ultimate writing tool. I’m a very slow writer, so I appreciate it every day.
Sherry Turkle
Now in its third year in office, the Obama Administration has never championed the cause of human rights. Its slow reaction in June 2009 to the stealing of the election in Iran and the birth of the ‘Green Movement’ there, and its delay in backing the rebellions in Egypt, Libya, and Syria, are evidence of this problem.
Elliott Abrams
There’s no slow build anymore where you get a little part, then you get a little better part, then a better part, until one day your agent calls you us and says, ‘guess what, you’re a movie star,’ and you say, ‘Thank you!’
Ellen Barkin
Well, maybe so, although I don’t think I am particularly gifted in languages. In fact, oddly enough, it may have something to do with my being slow at languages.
Robert Fitzgerald
Well, they didn’t lack for topics after Hiroshima. Why should 9/11 slow them down? I know it got a lot of press, but it’s just a few large buildings and aircraft, it’s not like D-Day and the Seige of Berlin.
Bruce Sterling
Let’s be clear: raising taxes during a very slow recovery is likely to lead to another recession, and it will do absolutely nothing to balance the budget.
John Fleming
There’s a smartphone gait: the slow sidewalk weave that comes from being lost in conversation rather than looking where you’re going.
Nancy Gibbs
I noticed that ‘Lost’ had sort of worn out our welcome; because of ‘Lost,’ audiences were no longer being patient with slow reveals: they wanted answers quickly, and they wanted story to develop much faster.
Marc Guggenheim
You need a continuous picture of how things are evolving, and not a slow series of snapshots where you don’t know how frame A is related to frame B.
Eric Betzig
Slow down and think about the lessons of the elders.
Maya Soetoro-Ng
There’s always some amount of gradual, slow burning destruction over the course of partying.
Gavin DeGraw
I think my life has been transformed by the ability to take things that exist in the world and look at them more closely. I think that’s what art does at its best: it allows us to slow down.
Kehinde Wiley
Wisely, and slow. They stumble that run fast.
William Shakespeare
Whenever you need something from someone else before you can move forward, it’s a dependency. We believe dependencies slow people down. We want people to be more independent, because that will keep them moving forward.
Jason Fried
Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
Samuel Smiles
I am growing and learning. There’s so much more that I want to accomplish and do. I’m gonna do it at whatever pace it happens. I’m not trying to rush anything or slow anything down.
Jordin Sparks
Manufacturing value chains are global. Many U.S.-made goods have foreign components. Slapping on tariffs will raise prices and slow imports, but it will make us poorer and impede growth.
David Autor
The environmental movement, like all political processes, reacts best to disasters. But these are very slow, very gradual disasters in the making.
Ted Danson
Becoming Christlike is a lifetime pursuit and very often involves growth and change that is slow, almost imperceptible.
Ezra Taft Benson
Science is, rightly, searching for drugs to arrest ageing or to slow the advance of dementia. But the evidence suggests that many of the most powerful factors determining how you age come from what you do, and what you do with others: whether you work, whether you play music, whether you have regular visitors.
Geoff Mulgan
YI teamed up with the Allstate Foundation to basically inform teens why it’s important to drive safe. I feel I’m new on the road, so it’s important to do these three main things: The first one is buckle up, the second one is slow down, don’t speed, and the third one is don’t let your friends distract you in the car.
Austin Mahone
I’m a painfully slow reader. And to this day, I mean, I love reading, and I’m very careful – very selective about what I read because I don’t read very fast and, therefore, not a great deal.
Philip Schultz
You may have heard of the Slow Movement, which challenges the canard that faster is always better. You don’t have to ditch your career, toss the iPhone, or join a commune to take part. Living ‘Slow’ just means doing everything at the right speed – quickly, slowly, or at whatever pace delivers the best results.
Carl Honore
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.
Stephen Hawking
I always work with the tempo of the energy of the character, whether he’s fast or slow, or heavy or light.
Mads Mikkelsen
You have undertaken to cheat me. I won’t sue you, for the law is too slow. I’ll ruin you.
Cornelius Vanderbilt
We also want to try and slow down all this foolishness that’s going on between the East and West. We gotta understand that Hip Hop is now universal. Hip Hop is not East coast or West coast.
Afrika Bambaataa
Even if I don’t want to slow down, I’m slowing down.
Eli Wallach
The body responds to a calorie deficit by slowing down the metabolism and burning muscle tissue. That leads to weakness, sluggishness, slow times. In girls, it can also result in cessation of menstrual periods, which in turn leads to loss of bone density and frequent stress fractures.
Don Kardong
The men are walking. They are fifty feet apart, for dispersal. Their walk is slow, for they are dead weary, as you can tell even when looking at them from behind. Every line and sag of their bodies speaks their inhuman exhaustion.
Ernie Pyle
If I could write rock & roll songs on purpose, I’d do it all the time. But most of what I write comes out slow and sad because that’s most of what I listen to.
Jason Isbell
I have to wake up and drink chamomile tea to slow down.
Janice Dickinson
Don’t stop. Don’t slow down. Keep focused.
Angela Ahrendts
One of the best pieces of advice I ever got was from a horse master. He told me to go slow to go fast. I think that applies to everything in life. We live as though there aren’t enough hours in the day but if we do each thing calmly and carefully we will get it done quicker and with much less stress.
Viggo Mortensen
I wouldn’t say I’m addicted, but I never, ever skip yoga. I use it to calm down and slow down.
April Gornik
I write because I admire the act of rationalization, of seeking clarity in one’s understanding of the complexities of life, and I’m bad at it. I’m slow. Writing, which is an arduous and slow process, proceeds at the same rate as my sloth-like mind.
Gregory Maguire
If I lose forcing the pace all the way, well, at least I can live with myself. But if it’s a slow pace, and I get beaten by a kicker who leaches off the front, then I’ll always wonder, ‘What if…?’
Steve Prefontaine
Too many people limit their happiness and success by assuming that taking time off from work will send a negative message to their manager and slow their career advancement.
Shawn Achor
I was nearly 40 when I published my first book. I was a slow starter – or rather, I was slow to gather my work together, though I had published translations, mainly of the Italian poet Montale, by then.
Jonathan Galassi
My dream artist to play at prom would be Frank Ocean. ‘Thinking Of You’ is one of my favorite songs. He makes really sweet music for slow dancing at prom.
Bella Thorne
But I’m so slow on it because I find it terribly hard writing blind on computers. The computer speaks to me, but it’s just so slow, I’m so terribly slow using it.
Jack Vance
I’m a very slow and ponderous reader, but I’m dogged.
John Lithgow
From the Left comes the proposition that, given the slow economy, we should defer attending to the problem of mounting obligations – and the truly delusional idea that growing federal debt doesn’t matter because we owe most of it to ourselves.
Steven Rattner
The beauty of art is that it allows you to slow down, and for a moment, things that once seemed unfamiliar become precious to you.
Kehinde Wiley
One of my weaknesses is impatience. I just have this aching need to get great things done. Can’t stand slow change.
Robin S. Sharma
The key to sauces is having patience. I’m not a patient woman, but I learned with sauces that you have to get everything on a slow roll and layer the flavors. That’s where you get robust tastes: it starts one way and ends another.
Kelis
With genetic engineering, we will be able to increase the complexity of our DNA, and improve the human race. But it will be a slow process, because one will have to wait about 18 years to see the effect of changes to the genetic code.
Stephen Hawking
Today’s average American is more apt to rebel against a tennis shoe not coming in the right color than against the slow erosion of our democratic freedom.
Marianne Williamson
Slow, Deep And Hard was a great album, even though it was probably our least selling record.
Josh Silver
In America, you keep on hearing productivity is low; secular stagnation, it’s a new normal. It’s just not true: We’ve had multiple wars; we’re not educating our kids. We had government shut downs, badly-spent money, failures in the health system, failures and an extreme amount of regulation – that’s why we’re going slow.
Jamie Dimon
It’s hardware that makes a machine fast. It’s software that makes a fast machine slow.
Craig Bruce
Be generous with your time and money – it has an amazingly fast payback. Be in the moment with everyone you love – and this frequently means tuning out work completely. And drive slow in parking lots.
Scott Weiss
Many of the things the slow food people honor were innovations within historical times. Somebody had to be the first European to eat a tomato.
Nathan Myhrvold
Most people don’t know what’s happening around them because they’re just speeding through life. And before they know it, they’re just old. So I just try to slow it down.
Tracy Morgan
The only urgency I feel is to keep on, at a slow pace, with my journey.
Alessandro Michele
Once I retire and slow down, I don’t want to be in New York. I want to be somewhere near a lake or a pond, so that on my days when I have nothing to do, I can go fishing.
Sharon Jones
I think the rest of the world has a very wide, very slow kick. It’s very simple, breaststroke. People think it’s highly technical. But the more narrow, more effective and quicker you can execute it, the faster you are going to go. There’s less drag, basically.
Adam Peaty
If I’m proud of one thing in my playing, it’s being able to slow it down and focus on the melody.
Synyster Gates
In the sixties, you’re still thinking you could do something about this slow disintegration of the body.
Nick Nolte
I’m very much about stories that are fast but character development that moves slow.
Ann Nocenti
Most days it feels as if the world is whirling around me and I am standing still. In slow motion, I watch the colors blur; people and faces all become a massive wash.
Sarah Kay
Creating deluxe cuisine is like playing a sport. Always competitive. Always challenging. And if you slow down a bit, you can no longer return to the top level.
Joel Robuchon
Before I was famous, when I was just working in Gilbert’s Lodge, everything was moving in slow motion.
Eminem
I’d like to see fashion slow down a bit. What freaks me out about fashion today is the speed – the speed of consuming, the speed of ideas. When fashion moves so fast, it takes away something I always loved, which is the idea that fashion should be slightly elusive. Hard to grasp, hard to find.
Raf Simons
When I was young, I was too slow. I thought I must learn to run fast by practicing to run fast, so I ran 100 meters fast 20 times. Then I came back, slow, slow, slow.
Emil Zatopek
I wanted to just come out and continue to improve my game, continue to improve my mental capacity to play well in tournaments. I’ve had a slow year compared to last year, but I’ve been pleased because I felt like I was getting better.
Webb Simpson
It is important from time to time to slow down, to go away by yourself, and simply be.
Eileen Caddy
You get a lot of speeding tickets, and you say, ‘I’m so unlucky!’ No, you’re not. You’re speeding. Slow down.
D. B. Sweeney
Let us be kind to one another and be slow to anger.
Alaska
It’s a funny thing because you look at the careers of other filmmakers, and you see them sort of slow down, and you realize, maybe this becomes harder to do as you get older. That’s sort of a cautionary thing. I hope it doesn’t happen to me.
Joel Coen
People who drive slow in the left lane on the highway! Are you kidding me? Don’t you see everybody passing you, honking and flipping you off? It’s not because everyone else is crazy, it’s because you’re driving slow in the fast lane, you jerk! OMG! It makes me crazy!
Rob Riggle
Let no one be slow to seek wisdom when he is young nor weary in the search of it when he has grown old. For no age is too early or too late for the health of the soul.
Epicurus
Slow travel now rivals the fly-to-Barcelona-for-lunch culture. Advocates savour the journey, travelling by train or boat or bicycle, or even on foot, rather than crammed into an airplane. They take time to plug into the local culture instead of racing through a list of tourist traps.
Carl Honore
I’ve been asked, ‘What was your big break?’ I don’t feel like I’ve had a big break. It’s been a slow, slow break.
Scoot McNairy
Young people, those who think they’re experts in science, there’s no doubt. They just believe it, and so there has to be an explanation – and whatever man is doing has caused the jet stream to slow down, and that is permitting the polar vortex.
Rush Limbaugh
I think ‘The Walking Dead’ is very interestingly paced. It’s slow, almost like an old Western. It’s also very stylised – visually, I think it’s very pretty. It’s more of a psychological drama than anything else.
Tania Raymonde
Confidence is a plant of slow growth in an aged heart.
William Pitt
I’m a very slow screenwriter. It takes time for me to write a screenplay. Also, I feel it’s not my strength.
Denis Villeneuve
My advice is to give up stevia, aspartame, sucralose, sugar alcohols like xylitol and malitol, and all of the other heavily-used and marketed sweeteners unless you want to slow down your metabolism, gain weight, and become an addict.
Mark Hyman
We’re already cyborgs. Your phone and your computer are extensions of you, but the interface is through finger movements or speech, which are very slow.
Elon Musk
It’s a slow process rewriting your own life in your head. I think that’s a writerly thing.
Emma Healey
I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song, I want to go have sex. I’m very animalistic when it comes to stuff like that. Very basic emotions.
Channing Tatum
I was a slow starter. I didn’t really make any dazzling impressions. But I don’t really regret that because I learned a lot along the way. I always kept busy – I found my way my way, and I’m happy about it.
Christopher Lloyd
To me, Slow parenting is about bringing balance into the home. Children need to strive and struggle and stretch themselves, but that does not mean childhood should be a race. Slow parents give their children plenty of time and space to explore the world on their own terms.
Carl Honore
I think there’s a very clear recognition and understanding that the progress of women in business at the very highest decision-making levels is too slow. This is a discussion that’s going on in every country around the world, actually.
Quentin Bryce
If we are going to ask for our daily bread, we’ve got to take the time to receive it and eat it. God provide, but we’ve got to slow down long enough to taste and see.
Glennon Doyle Melton
It’s always a huge red flag for me when somebody’s reticent or reluctant or a little slow in providing thoughtful references that are a testament to them as a person and their professional accomplishments.
Ivanka Trump
If the movie had ended in Hollywood fashion, the Copenhagen climate conference in 2009 would have marked the culmination of the global fight to slow a changing climate.
Bill McKibben
Americans are slow to anger, but once they do get angry, they are impossible to stop.
Kathleen Troia McFarland
You don’t have to play a whole lot of guitar to be a good blues player. Some people plays too much guitar. Stack it on top of each other the way it don’t – you’re working too fast. Blues not supposed to be played fast. Blues supposed to be played slow. You could kill a man with just one chord.
David Edwards
We are witnessing a very slow and painful cultural shift. Some male gamers with a deep sense of entitlement are terrified of change. They believe games should continue to cater exclusively to young heterosexual men with ever more extreme virtual power fantasies.
Anita Sarkeesian
We’re already cyborgs. Your phone and your computer are extensions of you, but the interface is through finger movements or speech, which are very slow.
Elon Musk
I’m Italian; I take my time. We’re not really fast. We’re very slow. I had my first child at 40, my second child at 45, James Bond at 50. I’m so curious as to what’s next!
Monica Bellucci
Watching cold fusion is like watching water boil in slow motion. First, sufficient deuterium has to penetrate the palladium electrode. This can take a few weeks. Then, if excess heat is generated during the next month or two, accurate temperature readings require extreme precautions to exclude environmental effects.
Charles Platt
GPS is expensive because it is a very slow communication channel – you need to communicate with three or four satellites for an extended duration at 50 bits per second.
Robert Love
I’m a slow starter.
Damian Lewis
I found out was, by the rhythm of my chewing, how I chewed fast, slow or what have you, I could tell the audience what my character was thinking and feeling.
Rod Steiger
The death of democracy is not likely to be an assassination from ambush. It will be a slow extinction from apathy, indifference, and undernourishment.
Robert M. Hutchins
Equality under the law is the slow triumph of hope over history.
Jim Cooper
My kids don’t slow down, but they like to hang just with us, with mum and dad. They play with us and we play, too.
Deborra-Lee Furness
You have to slow your heart rate, stay calm. You have to shoot in between your heartbeats.
Chris Kyle
I’m slow at everything I do.
Warren Beatty
The Chinese have certain advantages. The fact that it’s a single party government. But I do believe in the long run the fact that India is a functioning democracy committed to the rule of law. Our system is slow to move but I’m confident that once decisions are taken they are going to be far more durable.
Manmohan Singh
Things slow down, the ball seems a lot bigger and you feel like you have more time. Everything computes – you have options, but you always take the right one.
John McEnroe
They say baseball is a slow game. It sure doesn’t seem that way when you’re in the dugout. You think you have it figured out, but things come up quick.
Mike Quade
I sang everything – R&B slow jams, Spanish slow jams, romantic reggaeton – and I really didn’t care which I got signed for.
Prince Royce
The stream of civilisation flows on like a river: it is rapid in mid- current, slow at the sides, and has its backwaters. At best, civilisation advances by spirals.
Sabine Baring-Gould
Dance is in the air, pirouettes, very difficult. Mime is on the floor, like Spanish dancing perhaps, and very often in slow motion.
Marcel Marceau
A wave isn’t like a skate ramp or mountain; everything’s moving around and you have to time how to move along with it. That’s easier with a slow wave.
Kelly Slater
A woman – even if she is the primary breadwinner – really needs to keep in mind that at some point, she may have a diminished earning capacity because of the fact that she will bear children. Of course, this is case by case. I had two kids, and it didn’t really slow me down at all.
Laura Wasser
Blotting pads are great in case you get sweaty or oily. But don’t rub. It’s a slow, methodical blot: set the pad on your skin and let it absorb, then move it to the next location.
Jonathan Van Ness
I just love a slow groove. I feel so comfortable in it. But I listen to a lot of fast music, a lot of techno and house.
Chet Faker
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Henry Van Dyke
You know, a TV show is a slow build.
Ray Romano
I learned from my dad that there may come a time in life when you need to slow down and take a breath and deal with things, and that’s OK, but whatever you do… Don’t stop, and don’t quit. Even if it’s hard, you can’t be lazy.
Joey Kramer
My own faith was nurtured by my grandmother and her clinging deeply to her faith when she was dying a painful and slow death from cancer.
Geoffrey Canada
The first chance I had to go to Japan, which was in the early nineties, I went to a Noh play. I thought, ‘This is very, very slow.’ I noticed lots of people falling asleep. I didn’t really know what was going on; I was getting a little sleepy myself. Then the more I studied it, the more fascinated I got.
William T. Vollmann
Every time I think I’m going to take it slow, a good script comes along.
Rajkummar Rao
Judge men less by the labels they wear than by their persistent labour for sure if slow progress.
John Burns
I was on the Oprah Winfrey Show once. It was a really slow news day for Oprah, and there were several of us on ’cause none of us was sufficiently interesting by his or herself.
Robert B. Parker
Well, I outline fanatically. I am a long thinker and a slow writer, though I am trying to get faster.
William Landay
New applications will have to deal with big data. We have to analyze it on the fly, so we have to have a system that is transactional and analytical at the same time. We cannot have a multi-stage system. This is too slow for modern applications.
Hasso Plattner
Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tongue of a Gossip.
Richard Steele
I was always told that I was too small, too skinny, too slow, not tough enough, and I never ever believed what people told me.
Joe Theismann
The way I become friends with somebody is a slow process. You can’t just spill your guts and tell them everything about yourself and expect them to listen and understand you because you don’t know them. It’s the same thing with a relationship.
Leighton Meester
Swimming is by far the best tonic I’ve found for my back. I’m not a good swimmer – I do the breaststroke or elementary backstroke in the slow lane – but when I took a two-week break from swimming I was surprised how much I missed it.
David Shields
I have met people on the subway who have told me the most profound stories, and I am convinced we all have something to teach each other if we just slow down long enough to hear the message.
Amanda de Cadenet
You can’t slow the game here. It’s grass, it’s always going to be fast.
Goran Ivanisevic
Be slow to fall into friendship; but when thou art in, continue firm and constant.
Socrates
The women’s movement was slow in coming to suburban New Jersey.
Judy Blume
I seem to get into situations that make people laugh, but I don’t consider myself that funny of a person. I’m not witty. I’m kind of slow in conversations. I’m not that articulate with jokes. The first time I made stuff and screened it for an audience, I was surprised what people were laughing at.
Nathan Fielder
There is only one instrument which is adequate to investigate the things of the spirit, and that is the Spirit itself. Just as it is necessary to train a man for scientific research in the physical world, so also is a long and slow process required to fit oneself for investigation of the spiritual world.
Max Heindel
I don’t reinvent myself in any major way. It seems to be a slow evolution. I go back and visit certain themes that I feel strongly about and resonate with me emotionally.
James Taylor
I don’t really know why I’m so busy, but I like it. Sometimes I think I need to slow down. And then I’m even busier!
Brianna Brown
There is – I will just say that there was a disastrous day where I discovered really what radioactivity is and that just because you don’t see it doesn’t mean that it’s not everywhere, so – Yeah. I was a slow learner for sure.
Pardis Sabeti
I wanted the players to feel like they were part of a family, to be conscious of that controlled togetherness as they made that slow entrance onto the field. It had a great psychological effect on the opposing team, too. They’d never seen anything like it.
Hayden Fry
I’ve done four videos for older people under my new brand, Prime Time, and the missing link was yoga. I’m aiming it for older people – people who have never worked out or who are recovering from a surgery and have to start slow. It’s easy, you can’t get hurt, it’s very doable, and I’ve done it in ten-minute segments.
Jane Fonda
I never wanted to be a public figure. I feel that I always have to dampen down people’s expectations. They expect me to be an oracle, wave a magic wand, sprinkle some slow, sparkly dust on them, to make everything all right.
Carl Honore
I’m all for a good slow song and I love all different kinds of music.
Morgan Wallen
Whatever it is you want to do, take a job in that field. You will learn by experience and, slow and steady, you’ll get it done!
Rachael Ray
Some news managers have been slow to grasp that good television news is always substance over form.
Jessica Savitch
Though my parents assured me over and over again that I wasn’t stupid or slow, I sensed that my dyslexia was now a stigma on all of us.
Carre Otis
Every time a meteor comes close to the earth, we all think about the end of the world – but our internal soundtrack doesn’t turn off. We’re also thinking about pizza or passing a slow tractor or making a turn, and for a magical instant, our lives seem to be in conversation with the stars.
Elif Batuman
It has now become the doctrine of a large clan of politicians that political honesty is unnecessary, slow, subversive of a man’s interests, and incompatible with quick onward movement.
Anthony Trollope
I’m always calculating what I want to do, who I want to be, what I want to accomplish. I don’t need to worry about that – that’s always there on a slow simmer. The muscle I have to work on is being more present.
Chris Pine
Aficionados of Slow design and Slow fashion use ethical and green materials to make objects – furniture, clothes, jewellery – that lift the spirit and last a lifetime rather than one catwalk season.
Carl Honore
When I get old and slow down I want to look behind me and see all the fire and the wreckage and no stone left unturned.
Aisha Tyler
There’s been a slow death in a way. On the positive side, there are films getting into the Academy Awards that wouldn’t have, but on the negative side, financiers are now dominant and making all the decisions. I can’t count the ways a director’s vision is compromised.
Lili Taylor
On the ice, if I slow down, I can coast behind somebody for a couple of laps. If I slow down on the run, it’ll turn into a walk.
Apolo Ohno
Perfection is attained by slow degrees; it requires the hand of time.
Voltaire
I think every high school student who was alert during the early ’60s got very embittered by the slow progress and the violence surrounding the Civil Rights Movement.
P. J. O’Rourke
In 1978, I had a near-fatal car accident in the Bahamas. There was a point when I could have lost my right arm – but it was good because it forced me to slow down and take a break.
Peter Frampton
I’m not one about trying to slow things down. What I try to do is create an atmosphere for my family where we can pretty much have whatever.
Jada Pinkett Smith
It’s only recently women got to be action heroes on TV. Progress is slow, and often non-existent. There’s plenty of cool comics with female characters… But all it takes is one Catwoman to set the cause back a decade.
Joss Whedon
Well, I’m a slow writer. For me, a good day is a page, maybe a page and a half. I’d love to be more efficient, but I am not.
Charles Frazier
You get very tired, and there was a certain amount of pain and you slow up. Your legs are so tired that you are in fact slowing. If you don’t keep running, keep your blood circulating, the muscles stop pumping the blood back and you get dizzy.
Roger Bannister
Then suddenly something just kicked me. I kind of woke up and realised that I was in a different atmosphere than you normally are. My immediate reaction was to back off, slow down.
Ayrton Senna
I’m just a receiver. I don’t want to be labeled as a deep-threat guy, which is always going to happen because I’m always going to be able to run past people until I’m slow. I watch some guys who are very good at being deep threats, but it’s like people don’t respect them doing anything else.
Torrey Smith
My emergence has been slow and steady, I would say. I think I’ve improved every single year. I keep getting better; I keep getting fitter, sharper – and I’m not stopping.
Carli Lloyd
Given the slow pace of Washington’s bureaucracy, policymakers are often busy solving yesterday’s problems. This rearview mirror approach afflicts Mr. Obama and his Democratic allies in Congress.
Fred Upton
I love food, so having a lot of food allergies now and just having a really sensitive body, it forces me to be very mindful and conscious and eat when I’m hungry, not just when I’m bored, and just really slow down. Everything in moderation.
SZA
Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor
My first book, ‘In Praise of Slowness,’ examines how the world got stuck in fast-forward and chronicles a global trend towards putting on the brakes. That trend is called the Slow movement. ‘Slow’ in this context does not mean doing everything at a snail’s pace. It means doing everything at the right speed.
Carl Honore
The 50th Earth Day was always going to be special, but the coronavirus pandemic has made it even more so. The unprecedented steps the world has taken to slow the spread of the virus have dramatically reduced the number of cars on the road, planes in the air, and oil being pulled from the ground.
Deb Haaland
I really wanted to be as healthy as I could. It wasn’t about getting my six-pack back. There are more important things in life than a six-pack, I realized. It was just so much more important to take care of my baby and take care of myself in a healthy way; so now, it’s been a slow process, but I’m back in shape.
Marisa Miller
I have always taken a step forward and believe that slow and steady wins the race.
Pulkit Samrat
If oil prices will go too high, it will slow down the world economy and would trigger a global recession.
Khalid A. Al-Falih
It takes me time to realize things; I’m a speedy person but a slow thinker.
Julie Christie
We slow the progress of science today for all sorts of ethical reasons. Biomedicine could advance much faster if we abolished our rules on human experimentation in clinical trials, as Nazi researchers did.
Paul Nitze
I promised a lot of people I’d slow down when I turned 80.
Frank Gehry
The human race should just slow down and think about what it is doing.
Michael Palin
Blues ain’t never going anywhere. It can get slow, but it ain’t going nowhere.
David Edwards
If developed countries’ citizens want to feel slightly better about their economies’ slow growth and high unemployment, they should contemplate how much worse matters could be without the institutions that they have.
Raghuram Rajan
The comics work is very slow, and it basically involves working for sometimes years in isolation and not knowing how the work is going to be received.
Adrian Tomine
I have to slow down for some people. In Louisiana, people didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. I remember seeing people glaze over. Seeing the moment where they’ve just completely lost all… They just wait for me to stop talking and then say, ‘Yeah.’
Joe Gilgun
You can go slow. Allow your dreams and goals to change, but live an intentional life.
Kumail Nanjiani
Every one of the songs was based around picking an acoustic guitar. That was part of the concept from the beginning, that the tempos were going to go from slow to almost mid-tempo.
Jules Shear
I even steal bases. I hear all the time that I’m slow, but hey, I have 66 stolen bases.
Yadier Molina
Unfortunately, slow and steady in any financial market is actually impossible.
Erik Voorhees
My father’s films are often very slow for the modern audiences, which are used to a lot of editing. It’s the audience that watches the film instead of the director dictating the reaction he wants from you.
Isabella Rossellini
Everything feels like you’re in slow motion and everything you do seems like it’s about two or three plays of what everybody else is doing.
Tony Parker
Every time I start a new novel, it seems like an impossible undertaking. If I tried to do too much too quickly, I would get lost and feel overwhelmed. I have to go slow, and give things a chance to take form and grow.
Louis Sachar
The slow pace of trains in the U.S. can be maddening, particularly during delays on rail sidings for an hour or more to enable freight trains – which have the right-of-way – to pass.
Alan Huffman
I’m a researcher, so I’m realistic that there’s nothing I’m doing that’s going to prevent me from getting cancer in the future. But I can slow it down.
Tom Rath
Saturday Night Live is such a comedy boot camp in a way, because you get to work with so many different people who come in to host the show and you get thrown into so many situations and learn how to think on your feet, so filmmaking actually feels slow, in a good way.
Will Ferrell
I never wanted money worries to slow me down or make me take a job I didn’t want.
Alexander Payne
I’ve worked really hard to get to where I am. Slow and steady wins the race, and I believe in paying your dues.
Amanda Bynes
We have found that the Ministry of Defence was slow in responding to the threat of improvised explosive devices and that delays in providing adequate medium-weight protected patrol vehicles should not have been tolerated.
John Chilcot
I have no plans to slow down.
Henry Louis Gates
There are no shortcuts to victory. We must commit ourselves to the slow, painstaking work of foreign policy day by day and year by year.
Richard Lugar
I cannot drive very well. I drive slow and very safe. I don’t know cars that well.
Selena Gomez
Slow and steady wins the race. I feel like I know in my bones if we’re doing a good job and continue to do a good job, the ratings will come.
Julie Chen
Well, my dad did a lot of Kung Fu when I was growing up, so he taught me a lot about mental toughness. Ways to slow your heart rate down, slow your breathing down to take control of your body so you can push yourself to the next limit.
Jamal Murray
I’ve been busy and need to slow my little tail down and sit and meditate somewhere. I do my walking meditations every day, but just to sit still. Just to be in one place and just to be quiet.
Valerie June
I was able to interpret the difference between the sharp, quick sound and the slow, deep sound of percussion and manipulate it, get a third sound out of things, if the beats were rapid enough.
Sunny Murray
Every project is a race between your enthusiasm and your ability to get it done. Go fast. Don’t slow down. A year from now, new things will interest you.
Jill Soloway
Focused reading is so important, and I’m just as guilty as everyone. I have to force myself to slow down, often printing things out or using print as a medium for things that are most important or for things whose beauty would be lost if I use other modes of reading.
Maryanne Wolf
Who quick be to borrow and slow be to pay, their credit is naught, go they ever so gay.
Thomas Tusser
If workmen are denied any increase in real wages and they can look forward only to a better standard of living through reduction of prices, progress for them is terribly slow, and they become impatient and dissatisfied.
Charles E. Wilson
You play a ‘lowdown dirty shame slow and lonesome, my mama dead, my papa across the sea I ain’t dead but I’m just supposed to be’ blues. You can take that same blues, make it uptempo, a shuffle blues, that’s what rock n’ roll did with it. So blues ain’t going nowhere. Ain’t goin’ nowhere.
David Edwards
I was always being told to calm down, to chill out, to slow down. I was a bad toddler, I was a bad child, I was a bad teenager.
Michelle Zauner
Time seems to slow down after the winter holiday. New York loses all of its winter romance and is just cold.
Lela Loren
For our vanity is such that we hold our own characters immutable, and we are slow to acknowledge that they have changed, even for the better.
E. M. Forster
If I’m a commodity, it wouldn’t be a wise idea to buy stock in me – although, in the long run, maybe I’m a slow growth investment.
Tim Robbins
I was at a picnic, and there were a lot of songwriters. I remember praying, ‘God I wish you would give me a song.’ About five minutes later, my ears popped, and I saw everybody in slow motion. Nobody knew what I was experiencing.
Andrae Crouch
A lot of my music is slow and subtle. The subtly is what I enjoy about making music.
Norah Jones
I do the same gig. I might change it a little; I might slow it down if I’m in the South. I talk fast, and they’re not used to people talking that fast.
Lewis Black
My mind still runs too fast. If we get the wrong fabric or something is stitched the wrong way, I get so angry and so flummoxed that I start spelling my words, just to slow myself down.
William Ivey Long
Living and working for four decades in a Bologna apartment and studio he shared with his unwed sisters, Morandi painted little but bottles, boxes, jars, and vases. Yet like that of Chardin and the underappreciated William Nicholson, Morandi’s work seems to slow down time and show you things you’ve never seen before.
Jerry Saltz
Well, I have a couple of projects in the pipeline, but I’m taking things slow for now and being choosy about the roles I take up. One thing I can assure you of is that you are going to see a lot of me!
Natasha Henstridge
I’m proud we have built a billion-dollar business from scratch here in the US. It has been done very much in a slow, building way. It wasn’t an instant type of thing. America is a huge market where persistence is very important, and I am a builder by nature.
Anthony Pratt
I’m learning to work under pressure. Yesteryear songs are slow and demanding on the expressions.
Kriti Sanon
Let thy step be slow and steady, that thou stumble not.
Tokugawa Ieyasu
Science is difficult and slow no matter who you are. The hours are long, and the glorious ‘aha’ days come only very infrequently. You have to keep believing that if you put in the hours, those days will indeed come!
Bonnie Bassler
I remember one of them – it was a 1941 black Ford. As it went by very slow, a guy leaned out with a shotgun, keeping a bead on us all the time, and we just had to walk slowly and wait for him to kill us… They didn’t kill us, but they didn’t end it, either.
Medgar Evers
Maybe at 87 you slow down a drop, but between 44 and 64, there is no difference.
Jessica Hecht
I find the experience of keeping a journal much more creative on paper than on a computer. When I write, I’m physically immersed in the world and slow down, whereas on screen, I use my senses in a less engaged way – and I skim more.
Keri Smith
I don’t think life is about a pace, living slow or fast. I think you just live, y’know what I mean?
Lil Wayne
People probably perceive me as a bit boring because I am a little slow in the humor department, but it’s just hard for me to get jokes when they’re told in English. I am always the last one to get it.
Yolanda Hadid
Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.
George Orwell
There is surprisingly low penetration still of synthetic rubber gloves in the medical field. People are allergic to natural rubber, but the industry has been slow to switch to synthetic gloves.
Kelly Evans
There are many ways to grow football-wise. You go slow or are pushed to go faster, otherwise you get left behind. For me, there would be trouble in stopping learning.
Wayne Rooney
The world is changing very fast. Big will not beat small anymore. It will be the fast beating the slow.
Rupert Murdoch
True friendship is a plant of slow growth, and must undergo and withstand the shocks of adversity, before it is entitled to the appellation.
George Washington
Life is short and progress is slow.
Gabriel Lippmann
It’s one of those things, like in sports and other situations in life, you’re going to have some adversities and some challenges that are similar to the race. You go uphill one moment and then you go downhill, but that’s life too. You’ve got to be willing to sometimes take it slow but keep going.
Zdeno Chara
In high school I was very much involved in poetry. You cannot read a poem quickly. There’s too much going on there. There are rhythms and alliterations. You have to read poetry slow, slow, slow to absorb it all.
Eugene H. Peterson
All my writing is fun, and that makes it hard to slow down or walk away.
Michael Connelly
Slow and steady wins the race.
Robert Lloyd
In a world where people are hungry for quick fixes and sound bites, for instant gratification, there’s no patience for the long, slow rebuilding process: implementing after-school programs, hiring more community workers to act as mentors, adding more job training programs in marginalized areas.
Dan Hill
You know, I had the music baskets and the writing basket. And I had the acting. And those eggs just hatched first, and the others were slow to incubate.
Laura Bell Bundy
If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character, would you slow down? Or speed up?
Chuck Palahniuk
However old-fashioned and right-wing this may sound, the American genius for language lies in understatement, in saying things simply, pointedly and quickly, and in making new and clean and swift what otherwise might be ponderous, round and slow.
Walter Kirn
Books are slow, books are quiet. The Internet is fast and loud.
Jonathan Safran Foer
The actual process of filmmaking, the many hours out of your life- it is very slow and boring. I’m not interested in that now unless an opportunity was provided for me.
Rick Moranis
As much preparation as I had made for the old man Salieri, gestures and so on, the fact is after sitting for hours, your movements are kind of slow.
F. Murray Abraham
I always like to think that I make movies that are like Nirvana songs. They have a slow verse, and then they pop into high gear, and then they go back into slow, and then they pop into high gear again.
James Gunn
But let no one be under any doubt that the scale of the challenge that Europe faces in this emerging global economy is immense and the practical pace of our collective action to meet these challenge to date has just been too slow.
John Hutton
The Egyptian Nile, though it does have its own particular hazards, is subject to none of what I find in Rhode Island. Since the Aswan High Dam was built in 1973, the Nile has become something of a grand canal. It is wide, flat, slow, and so calm it verges on the geriatric.
Rosemary Mahoney
I believe I am connecting to angels and spirit guides and ancestors. All of that is falling under the category of God and the energy presence of God, and that is what I can tap into when I tune in and slow down.
Gabrielle Bernstein
Slow thinking has the feeling of something you do. It’s deliberate.
Daniel Kahneman
You can’t keep doing the same things when you get married and have a family. You have to slow down. You have to be responsible.
Patty Smyth
I’ve never used a foam pit or an air bag before. I learned my tricks over time, and double corks have been a slow transition in my pipe riding.
Scotty Lago
Slow down and enjoy life. It’s not only the scenery you miss by going to fast – you also miss the sense of where you are going and why.
Eddie Cantor
If you talk with a Southern accent, it’s perceived as though you are slow. That’s not the case. I’ve met just as many dumb people who talk without an accent as with.
Jake Peavy
I’m a slow reader.
Benicio Del Toro
Talk low, talk slow and don’t say too much.
John Wayne
We’ve seen filibusters of bills and nominations that ultimately passed with 90 or more votes. Why filibuster something that has that kind of support? Just to slow down the process and keep the Senate from working.
Elizabeth Warren
I love yoga because it allows me to slow down and experience how good it feels to be in relationship to my body. It teaches me patience, acceptance, and how to receive.
Mandy Ingber
I personally run my social media, so I read all the messages. I get amazing messages. I try to respond as much as possible. Slow, but steady.
Kerli
I have hesitation making any kind of decision, really in my life. I’m really slow at it.
Jeff Bridges
This is not a slow movement of change. It’s a shift in the consciousness of each of us. It is a collective shift. It involves facing grief and trauma and undoing our numbness and our narcissism and our indulgence that we have in this privileged western society.
Gail Bradbrook
There have been tons of politicians who were slow to accept equal rights when it meant changes in the established social order. Many eventually came around, admitted they were wrong, and were forgiven. But the ones who actively choose hate-mongering don’t ever get a pass.
Gail Collins
The frustration of the Senate is that it’s slow. It looks like an aquarium.
Jim Webb
Modeling will slow down no matter who you are.
Trish Goff
They say with age your reflexes slow down. I’ve not felt it.
Sourav Ganguly
A good, quick, small team can beat a big, slow team any time.
Bear Bryant
My children teach me to slow down and enjoy life.
Gena Lee Nolin
I like Sam Smith and Taylor Swift. I love pop music, but I also like Sam Smith’s slow songs. That would be more to dance to. I think dancers like different genres of music, compared to just a regular person.
Maddie Ziegler
Paris is mostly retired people – I love it, and it’s a beautiful city, but it’s quite slow.
Carine Roitfeld
There are times where you’re in the zone and everything moves in slow motion, and there’s sometimes when everything goes really fast and you have to slow yourself down.
Stephen Gostkowski
I’m getting older. That’s realistic. I can’t reverse time. I can slow it down a little bit.
Jordan Burroughs
Pace, like everything else in writing, involves a trade-off. If you’re not offering the reader a lot of action to keep her interested, you must offer something else in its stead. Slow pace is ideal for complex character development, detailed description, and nuances of style.
Nancy Kress
You can do really slow movements with it, like zooming in for a minute and a half. The audience isn’t aware that the camera has moved, but there’s subconscious tension there.
Mike Figgis
I’m a hip-hop kind of guy, but to be honest with you, I could listen to R&B all day. Give me some slow jams, and I’m a happy person.
Ryan Guzman
We’re at maybe 1% of what is possible. Despite the faster change, we’re still moving slow relative to the opportunities we have. I think a lot of that is because of the negativity… Every story I read is Google vs someone else. That’s boring. We should be focusing on building the things that don’t exist.
Larry Page
Architecture is a slow business, and city planning even slower.
Richard Rogers
I think some fans are very passionate, they just say what they want to say but they just need to slow it down a bit. We’re still only human. We’re not what people think. We might be famous but we love the sport and just want to play football.
Jadon Sancho
You slow down when you get older.
Stephen Stills
Everybody loves a horror story because it’s a roller coaster ride -you wait for the slow ride to the top then speed down with all the bumps, twists and turns.
Tony Todd
I think it’s a common misconception that because you’re a woman, you can’t command a set and have people respect you, and for some reason, Hollywood is really far behind every other industry. It’s getting better; it’s just slow.
Reed Morano
His act may start out slow, but it tapers off.
Lawrence Welk
Russia was the last to leave the 19th century and the most rapid to enter the mandates of the 20th century. It was not an evolution. It was not a slow process.
Amor Towles
I don’t stop. It’s my nature. People have to tell me to slow down. I plan on playing every role on Broadway. I want to do ‘Evita.’ I want to do ‘Sweeney Todd’ with Chris Colfer. We want to do ‘Wicked.’ I’ll be Elphaba and he wants to play ‘Guy-linda.’ I want to do movies, make music. ‘Glee’ is only the beginning.
Lea Michele
I’m convinced that the man who has learned to meditate upon the Lord will be able to run on his feet and walk in his spirit. Although he may be hurried by his vocation, that’s not the issue. The issue is how fast his spirit is going. To slow it down takes a period of time.
Charles Stanley
My growth as an artist and a person has been so slow and gradual, it’s hard to make a story out of it.
Juliana Hatfield
‘Even Flow’ is the best to play live because of the long solos. It starts out slow and builds, and, depending on what the audience does, I can reflect that in the solo.
Mike McCready
If genetic research doesn’t seemed to have lived up to its therapeutic promise, it’s because sequencing is just too slow and expensive.
Luke Nosek
I’ve been trying to learn Spanish, but it has been hard for me. It’s a slow process, but I’m trying.
Sheamus
How quick are we to learn: that is, to imitate what others have done or thought before. And how slow to understand: that is, to see the deeper connections.
Frits Zernike
Those that are most slow in making a promise are the most faithful in the performance of it.
Jean-Jacques Rousseau
One of my favorite movies that I’ve ever seen is ’25th Hour.’ I love it so much because it’s simply about a guy who’s going to jail for six years, and this slow, terrible day he has.
Dito Montiel
If I could have one prayer answered, I would pray for patience. I move so fast sometimes. I try to slow down.
Debra Winger
I fought tall fighters, short fighters, strong fighters, slow fighters, sluggers and boxers. It was either learn or get knocked off.
Sugar Ray Leonard
‘Empty Moves’ is elegantly and coolly inventive. Two pairs of dancers shadow each other in slow, deliberate rearrangements and manipulations of legs and torsos, only occasionally switching partners or breaking free of the formal patterning.
Robert Gottlieb
The special ops guys and the firefighters around the world have this great phrase. They say, ‘Slow is smooth, and smooth is fast,’ and that is true. Everything I’ve accomplished in my life has been because of that attitude.
Jeff Bezos
I’ve got all this stuff in my head at the same time as I’m doing stuff and I don’t know how to stop or slow down.
will.i.am
Talk low, talk slow and don’t say too much.
John Wayne
If you give the boss all the decision-making power, they see the world through their eyes. The big innovations are generally such a shift that they won’t see it. For a long time, it looked like it was just inevitable that you would get slow and bureaucratic.
Scott Cook
Why should I practice running slow? I already know how to run slow. I want to learn to run fast.
Emil Zatopek
I’m not a natural-born actor. So it’s been a very slow learning curve for me.
John Cho
Being exhausted is all part of the fun. I’m cool with it. I’m not going to wish that it would slow down.
James Bay
School, for me, was a really, genuinely hard thing. It was hard because l am an artist. You can’t send an artist to a place where we learn at a mad slow pace sitting in a class.
Bibi Bourelly
Time is too slow for those who wait, too swift for those who fear, too long for those who grieve, too short for those who rejoice, but for those who love, time is eternity.
Henry Van Dyke
I’m okay with the idea that slow and steady wins the race.
Drew Barrymore
President Obama famously promised that the Affordable Care Act would not only slow the growth in health care costs, but would also reverse these trends, making the average health insurance plan cheaper. That isn’t happening.
Scott Gottlieb
When it comes down to the song writing, I’m just very slow – very slow. Because the songs are about my life, so I’m doing emotional work on myself.
India Arie
I slow down when hiking. The rhythm of nature is more leisurely. The sun comes up, it moves across the sky, and you begin to synchronize to that rhythm.
John Mackey
The living room is where we come to think, to slow down the world for a second.
Jason Winston George
I only watch the last 40 seconds. Watching a whole marathon over time, the beginning, middle and end look very slow. I want to see action! I can’t help it.
Apolo Ohno
Be slow in choosing a friend, slower in changing.
Benjamin Franklin
It’s always been too slow for me. Playing. The pace of things. I’m a fast sprinter. The trouble was, after playing in the group for a few months, I couldn’t reach that point.
Syd Barrett
It’s about learning how to slow down… I think this Covid environment that we’re in there’s a lot of sadness and a lot of pressure going on in terms of the uncertainty, but what it is teaching us or forcing us to do is appreciate the small things: be grateful for a slower pace of life.
Melissa Leong
I still have the Triumph Palm Beach I was given for Christmas when I was 11. By today’s standards, it is heavy and slow, but was my pride and joy at the time.
Jeremy Corbyn
Seabeck is slow to change.
Ashley Wagner
I never walk into the studio and say, I’m going to write a song called… ‘X’ or called ‘Slow Me Down.’ I write a ton of lyrics, often the title is somewhere in those 10 pages of… I call it brain vomit. It’s kind of like whatever comes out of my head and I’m unabashedly just writing it down.
Emmy Rossum
Do not let arguments of expediency persuade you. That is the slow road to oblivion. That is the tortured path to undoing step by step, bit by bit, as the river creates a canyon, the way of life that we love.
Chuck Schumer
For my shows, I don’t play too many slow songs.
Jon Pardi
The Taiwanese are big on tea. I think it’s nice to slow down a bit. It’s very much a custom.
Jason Wu
Everything that slows us down and forces patience, everything that sets us back into the slow circles of nature, is a help. Gardening is an instrument of grace.
May Sarton
People don’t know. People are ignorant. They feel that if you stutter, then you’re slow or whatnot.
Kenyon Martin
I’m hoping they slow down a little bit with technology, because I’m just trying to keep up.
Kate Upton
I turned sadness into an anthem for not letting anything or anyone slow you down.
Bebe Rexha
I made more decisions in a half-day as governor than you can make in a whole week in the Senate… it’s too slow for me.
Chuck Robb
Once you live in New York, you can’t live anywhere else. Living in Paris is like going in slow motion. It’s so bourgeois. I get so bored.
Marina Abramovic
It’s funny to think that when you get done with an acting job, you’re considered unemployed. There are definitely times when those checks don’t last forever. I went to college at a private school, and I racked up quite a bit of debt. I was very slow to pay them back.
Rami Malek
The slow philosophy is not about doing everything in tortoise mode. It’s less about the speed and more about investing the right amount of time and attention in the problem so you solve it.
Carl Honore
Drive slow and enjoy the scenery – drive fast and join the scenery.
Douglas Horton
Slow parents understand that childrearing should not be a cross between a competitive sport and product-development. It is not a project; it’s a journey. Slow parenting is about giving kids lots of love and attention with no conditions attached.
Carl Honore
It’s not their job from the establishment-through-calcification to sit there and try to withhold the president, to rein him in or slow down his agenda.
Anthony Scaramucci
I keep all my work and files and kung-fu movies on my laptop because sometimes you travel, and the Internet is slow.
Rza
I always have a problem playing text-heavy games. I’m a slow reader. I don’t speak English well. As a kid in China, trying to play these games, I just wanted the text to go away.
Jenova Chen
Don’t ever criticize yourself. Don’t go around all day long thinking, ‘I’m unattractive, I’m slow, I’m not as smart as my brother.’ God wasn’t having a bad day when he made you… If you don’t love yourself in the right way, you can’t love your neighbour. You can’t be as good as you are supposed to be.
Joel Osteen
When I first started writing, I wrote really sad, emotional songs which were all slow.
Anne-Marie
I can be incredibly focused, and I can appear impatient. So I’ve learned to slow down, get to know people, and provide more context. There’s nothing wrong with getting to the point pretty quickly, but it’s also helpful to give people an opportunity to talk about their work.
Lynn Good
Many writers, including myself, have detailed how irresponsible government actions slow economic recoveries. Similar behavior by individuals impedes growth, too. If you can’t find someone reliable to do a deal with, you simply don’t do the deal at all.
Amity Shlaes
Well, you can’t throw heavy, analytical, thought-provoking songs at people 24/7. It’s been my experience over the last 20 years that on a rare occasion, in a live setting, if you can slow people down to listen to two good ballads, then you’re doing pretty good. Then throw a tempo at ’em. Then have fun.
Ronnie Dunn
America may be slow to rise to a challenge. But our history has shown that once we make up our minds to really do something, nothing can stand in our way.
Carrie P. Meek
I’m 86 and my doctor used to tell me to slow down – at least he did until he dropped dead.
Cesar Romero
Progress, of the best kind, is comparatively slow. Great results cannot be achieved at once; and we must be satisfied to advance in life as we walk, step by step.
Samuel Smiles
Individuals fail to recognise how their perennial state of sleep deficiency has come to compromise their mental aptitude and physical vitality, including the slow accumulation of ill health.
Matthew Walker
To me, what defines a New Yorker is the edge that one develops from having actually lived here. Once you have it, it doesn’t go away, and everywhere else in the world feels like it is in slow motion.
Donald Trump, Jr.
I find the violence in PG13 movies unbearable. This kid will never run home, never have another birthday. His death is slow, nightmarish. And you have to explore the consequences – the people who live on with this death.
Marlon James
Each season, my balance gets worse, and sometimes I fall. I no longer cook for myself but microwave widower food, mostly Stouffer’s. My fingers are clumsy and slow with buttons.
Donald Hall
I always used to wonder why American actors were getting fat, then I made a U.S. movie. I’m seeing all the food every day, and there’s lots of waiting around because making an American movie is very slow.
Donnie Yen
You don’t want to be a one-trick pony. On a lot of Smiths songs, I used a pick or a plectrum, and for some of the slow songs, I used my thumbs and my fingers. That’s why I love the bass – it’s adaptable, and you can express yourself so well with it.
Andy Rourke
Throughout the time in which I am working on a canvas I can feel how I am beginning to love it, with that love which is born of slow comprehension.
Joan Miro
The way we finance homes in this country is slow, filled with middlemen, who run a nonstandardized evaluation process. This makes financing a home cumbersome and difficult.
Barry Ritholtz
I recommend the art of slow reading.
Amos Oz
Paper publishers are doing everything they can to slow the transition to eBooks because, in a digital world, paper publishers’ high hardback margins essentially disappear.
Barry Eisler
I turned 65 last year, and each year I get more and more interested in human health. For most people it happens around age 50, but I’ve always been a slow learner. It’s critical in terms of the cost of health care.
Craig Venter
Progress is not an illusion, it happens, but it is slow and invariably disappointing.
George Orwell
I’ve been on the side of it where you have bad luck and slow cars.
Kevin Harvick
I’ve always felt music is the only way to give an instantaneous moment the feel of slow motion. To romanticise it and glorify it and give it a soundtrack and a rhythm.
Taylor Swift
If God is slow in answering your request, or if you ask but do not promptly receive anything, do not be upset, for you are not wiser than God.
Isaac of Nineveh
I’ve been building slow, step by step.
Ty Dolla Sign
The older I get, the younger I feel. Growing up, I was always the kid, but I spoke like an adult and was in adult roles. I didn’t feel like a kid. The older I get, I actually feel younger! Which is good. I always thought when you get older, you’ll want to slow down, but I want to do even more.
Brooke Shields
I am a very slow reader. I have to have things written in a pithy way.
Matt Hancock
I did a drama degree, went to secretarial college, then got a job with a theatre company in Birmingham. It’s been a slow burn, which doesn’t seem to have gone out.
Tamsin Greig
Danger is part of my job. It’s always there, but you can’t think about it too much otherwise you start to be too slow.
Heikki Kovalainen
The pace of innovation may slow down or speed up depending on the appetite in the public markets, but the constant progress of technology doesn’t really ever stop. There’s always opportunities for new ideas and creative people to go build great things. I’m always interested in learning about those kinds of opportunities.
Adam Dell
I’m a really slow writer. What I need to start writing on any given day, is a kernel, a line of dialogue, anything I can sense concretely.
Diana Gabaldon
The fact that I live in New York, a city that thrives on accessibility, might explain why I was slow to grasp the appeal of Alexa. Here we have bodegas on every corner, most open 24 hours, in case you need to pick up a roll of toilet paper or a bottle of hot sauce in the middle of the night.
Jenna Wortham
I will play power forward and small forward. Rebound, lead the break, play on the wing, post, play fast and play slow.
Kevon Looney
I did nothing but international liberation politics for ten years, and usually it was like, you gain an inch, you lose a half an inch. It’s slow going, man.
Steven Van Zandt
Eddie is a natural leader. Jeff and I have been very much in control of previous bands we’ve worked in. But the way Eddie grew into being the leader of this band was the most gradual, slow and respectful process that I’ve ever been involved in.
Stone Gossard
To build may have to be the slow and laborious task of years. To destroy can be the thoughtless act of a single day.
Winston Churchill
My favorite memory about ‘Baywatch’ is the music. That was my favorite part. It was, like, my calling. And to watch everyone run in slow motion.
Priyanka Chopra
No, I’m not angling for huge fame. My career has been a very slow, arduous climb to the middle.
Paul Sparks
I do genuinely believe that the political system is not linear. When it reaches a tipping point fashioned by a critical mass of opinion, the slow pace of change we’re used to will no longer be the norm. I see a lot of signs every day that we’re moving closer and closer to that tipping point.
Al Gore
FX does a great thing with its comedies where they give them a slow push out there.
Paul Scheer
When you experience the emotion of sadness, there will be changes in facial expression, and your body will be closed in, withdrawn. There are also changes in your heart, your guts: they slow down. And there are hormonal changes.
Antonio Damasio
When you balance it against New Order, New Order don’t work or tour relentlessly. We definitely work in our own way and sometimes it’s a bit too slow for me, so I like to plan ahead and fill my time up.
Peter Hook
Sometimes I feel like I’m taking on a role when I’m writing a song, and it doesn’t always have to be true. I’m not sitting in my room crying with my guitar, writing a slow solo about a depressing breakup; that’s not me.
Mitchel Musso
Fire and swords are slow engines of destruction, compared to the tongue of a Gossip.
Richard Steele
If you are AC/DC, you don’t get credit for slow songs. And if you are doing a show about food with a blond dude with crazy blond hair and tattoos who drives a hot rod, of course everyone is going to think everything you eat is deep-fried.
Guy Fieri
In some units it may suppress the motor discharge altogether, in some it may merely slow the motor discharge thus lessening the wave frequency of the contraction and so the tension.
Charles Scott Sherrington
On every Bright Eyes record, there’s some kind of sound collage that begins it. Some of them have dialogue, some don’t. I like it because it can kind of slow down the attention span a bit. It’s a way to draw you in to the rest of the record.
Conor Oberst
After the near-total destruction of Dresden in the Allied fire-bombing of February 1945, few people believed that its beauty would ever return. Dresden’s slow but steady comeback was thus met with great relief.
Gunter Blobel
I’ve had to work on being a slow talker.
Nicholas Brendon
I like my zombies slow and I like my zombies stupid.
Seth Grahame-Smith
I don’t care if it’s the slow way; I just want to do it the right way.
Ravyn Lenae
I feel sometimes like a book tour is a slow series of humiliations and that if you’re strong you’ll come out of it OK.
Jennifer Gilmore
It’s about learning how to slow down… I think this Covid environment that we’re in there’s a lot of sadness and a lot of pressure going on in terms of the uncertainty, but what it is teaching us or forcing us to do is appreciate the small things: be grateful for a slower pace of life.
Melissa Leong
Your law may be perfect, your knowledge of human affairs may be such as to enable you to apply it with wisdom and skill, and yet without individual acquaintance with men, their haunts and habits, the pursuit of the profession becomes difficult, slow, and expensive.
William Dunbar
Slow motion goes one of two ways. It either makes it look really, really cool, or it makes it look really, really bad.
Blake Griffin
I’m quite a slow reader. It can take me quite a while to get though a book.
Dakota Blue Richards
We hope we can slow or possibly reverse the symptoms of Alzheimer’s.
Gregory Benford
It might be a slow process reaching to the top but I am patient. I don’t want to get into something that I am not completely convinced about.
Uday Chopra
You have to appreciate the slow grind because success is not going to happen overnight. It can happen overnight, but that’s not my journey.
Davante Adams
I never plan to run at a certain pace. All my career my motto has been ‘no limits.’ I don’t try to run with a set time in mind, sticking to set splits, because what happens if you’re ahead of your splits – are you going to slow down?
Paula Radcliffe
We didn’t slow down, unlike the others, when we got to the moon because we needed its gravity to get back, so we hold the altitude record. I never even thought about it. Records are only made to be broken.
Jim Lovell
Well every moment, every project is different. I took a very slow approach to acting, trying to really work with people I could learn from. And I got something different out of each experience.
Mark Wahlberg
Probably the simplest hypothesis… is that there may be a slow process of annihilation of matter.
Arthur Eddington
When high-growth companies slow down, growth and momentum junkies often sell indiscriminately, which can create great opportunities for value investors. Just be careful not to anchor on the stock’s previous price or earnings multiple, which are no longer relevant.
Whitney Tilson
I find love stories satisfying when you can see the work – when you can really watch people find each other and fall in love, a little bit at a time. I like slow burns. Falling in love is so good; why would you want to rush it?
Rainbow Rowell
I’d rather grind slow because when it land in my lap and when I get it, it’s going to last longer than just shooting straight to the top and then the plane crashing because I done shot up too fast. I’d rather grind, figure the steps out and stay up there.
Moneybagg Yo
Democracies are slow to anger and hesitant to go to war: Voters don’t want to sacrifice their children for the glory of a selfish king.
Michio Kaku
Why did I break up with Elvis? It was difficult to watch his slow demise.
Linda Thompson
‘Cars’ was about Lightning McQueen learning to slow down and to enjoy life. The journey is the reward.
John Lasseter
Historically speaking, institutions are slow to change and usually resistant to any sudden moves – churches especially so.
Gene Robinson
I picked up the Puerto Rican accent from my father, and my sister picked up my mother’s very clear, concise, and slow Mexican-Spanish. So, when she does speak, she speaks with diction. She pronounces every word.
Alanna Ubach
An action movie should, like any other, follow the narrative traditions of literature. That means there should be subtlety, a slow build and a gradual bringing together of all the separate threads of the plot. To see all of it coming together slowly is very rewarding for the audience.
Shane Black
What I am suggesting is hard work and it can be slow work, but the rewards are well worth it.
Jesse Helms
The U.S.-Mexico border has often been described as an open wound. NAFTA was expected to heal it, albeit through a long, slow, and imperfect scarring process, by creating a basic framework for cooperation between the two countries.
Denise Dresser
And I’m a slow writer: five, six hundred words is a good day. That’s the reason it took me 20 years to write those million and a half words of the Civil War.
Shelby Foote
Young men soon give, and soon forget, affronts; old age is slow in both.
Joseph Addison
I don’t feel like I’ve nearly got to the place where I’m ready to even slow down.
Ricky Skaggs
Although the church has often been far too slow to follow his lead, Jesus’ insistence that women, as well as men, bear the full image of God has had a way of sparking reform movements across the centuries.
John Ortberg
I have a high range. Sometimes I sound like Stevie Winwood. Some people say I sound like Peter Gabriel. Some of the songs I write are funky. Others are slow. Some are ponderous, and some are there to shock. I must say some are pretty damn good, too.
Murray Head
Baseball is a slow, boring, complex, cerebral game that doesn’t lend itself to histrionics. You ‘take in’ a baseball game, something odd to say about a football or basketball game, with the clock running and the bodies flying.
Charles Krauthammer
I need to celebrate life because I’m in a good spot, I work hard, and I am happy with who I am and happy with what I do for a living, and sometimes I just focus and overwhelm myself so much with the fights and getting better, that I just need to slow it down and enjoy life and enjoy training.
Dustin Poirier
I have been learning English on the road since I started when I was 15, so it is a slow process but making some progress. Now I think I am much more comfortable with my English. However, it is difficult, still, when I speak about something that is not tennis.
Rafael Nadal
We’re in a tightening cycle and the reason is the economy is growing, there’s no expectation that the global economy and the Polish economy as a consequence could slow down dramatically.
Marek Belka
Wishing to be friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit.
Aristotle
If you want to slow medical inflation in the private sector, it makes sense to expand the government’s investment in private health care.
Timothy Noah
In a very slow way, I found my path. Even now, I think, ‘If I can’t do it my way, I’d rather not do it.’
Alison Goldfrapp
Education must be based on the certainty that faults cannot be atoned for or blotted out, but must always have their consequences. At the same time, there is the other certainty that, through progressive evolution, by slow adaptation to the conditions of environment, they may be transformed.
Ellen Key
The spirit of the gospel is optimistic; it trusts in God and looks on the bright side of things. The opposite or pessimistic spirit drags men down and away from God, looks on the dark side, murmurs, complains, and is slow to yield obedience.
Orson F. Whitney
I’ve seen bands come out and begin their concerts with these long, slow, boring songs. Are they kidding, or what?
Rick Nielsen
I like the slow Scandinavian pace. I don’t need cliffhangers in every chapter because I don’t want to make a Hollywood movie out of it.
Hakan Nesser
I still miss qualities of Khmer life that are hard to quantify: the slow, sensual pace, the hovering presence of the past, the vast skies filled with terrifying and beautiful butts. And, of course, the food.
Lawrence Osborne
I am very slow to warm. I’ve always been sort of a loner. I didn’t play team sports. I am better one-on-one than in big groups.
Rooney Mara
You don’t burn out from going too fast. You burn out from going too slow and getting bored.
Cliff Burton
Cinema is so slow and boring compared to television.
Steven Moffat
Have we failed to slow global warming pollution in part because climate and environmental activists have been too polite and well behaved?
Jeff Goodell
We used to dial; now we speed dial. We used to read; now we speed read. We used to walk; now we speed walk. And of course, we used to date, and now we speed date. And even things that are by their very nature slow – we try and speed them up, too.
Carl Honore
Let us touch the dying, the poor, the lonely and the unwanted according to the graces we have received and let us not be ashamed or slow to do the humble work.
Mother Teresa
I know that elections must be limited only to those who understand that the Arabs are the deadly enemy of the Jewish state, who would bring on us a slow Auschwitz – not with gas, but with knives and hatchets.
Meir Kahane
I was running super slow. Chris thought I was done. Then one day at the end of February, I woke up and my body felt good. I was just so happy. I was faster than my brother again. I got all my moves back. I told him, ‘Brother, I’m back, and now you’re done!’
Rob Gronkowski
Somebody asked me – you know, how come it took you so long to win a national championship? And I said, ‘I’m a slow learner; but you notice when I learn something, I have it down pretty good.’
John Wooden
When you have fast cars and bad luck, it’s a lot easier to handle than having slow cars and bad luck.
Kevin Harvick
The biggest potential and actual crises of the 21st century all have a strong, long, slow aspect with a significant lag between cause and effect. We have to train ourselves to be thinking in terms of longer-term results.
Jamais Cascio
As the Earth continues to slow, leap seconds will grow more common. Eventually we will need one every year, and then even more. Scientists could have avoided these awkward skips by choosing instead to adjust the duration of the second itself. Who would notice? That is what they did, in fact, until 1955.
James Gleick
The wheels of publishing never slow down.
Laurie Graham
The Spaniards are slow in their motions but strong in their attachments.
Marquis de Lafayette
When companies get big, they slow down. They’re not as exciting. If you want to get something done, it takes a lot of time and a lot of meetings.
Adam D’Angelo
I’ve been driving in the city for years because, as a stand-up in N.Y.C., you can perform at more comedy clubs a night if you have a car. Getting from club to club by subway is too slow at night and too expensive by cab. So, many comics live far out from Manhattan and drive in every night.
Judah Friedlander
I know I’m drinking myself to a slow death, but then I’m in no hurry.
Robert Benchley
Unfortunately, we are finding the bureaucratic inefficiencies and red tape have a tendency to slow the efforts of individuals and communities working to rebuild.
Bobby Jindal
Up-tempo or slow tempo, I don’t feel that one is better than the other.
Imelda May
There’s a bad thing that we have in America, and that is a slow, sticky way that we get out of prejudice. We get out of it very, very slowly. It’s like walking through tar. But we’re getting out; things are changing.
Neal Adams
The march of the human mind is slow.
Edmund Burke
In emerging markets, slow growth in the advanced economies has shut down a traditional development path: export-led growth. As a result, emerging markets have had to rely once again on domestic demand. This is always a difficult task, given the temptation to over-stimulate.
Raghuram Rajan
A lot of times I’ll see guys who are nowhere near the level of the board they’re riding. They might love surfing and love how it looks, but you really have to work your way up. It takes eating a little humble pie at first, and stepping back to equipment that might be a bit slow, but do it.
Kelly Slater
In the simplest terms, a fast-growing company can’t keep growing at the same fast rate forever. It eventually has to slow down.
Om Malik
I know from my own experience that lawsuits can be a very slow, wasteful, and needlessly acrimonious way to resolve a problem.
Richard Cordray
That’s another thing, we made up games. We didn’t have equipment. When it snowed, we would play slow motion tackle football. We would play hockey, but we wouldn’t skate. We just made things up. I loved doing that.
Mike Krzyzewski
If there’s anything I have learned since returning to Congress, it’s that talk is still cheap, progress is still slow, and our liberties continue to erode every day.
Matt Salmon
The way Germans work is that they are slow to warm up but when they do they are your friend for life and very loyal.
Claudia Schiffer
I’m a very slow reader – I read maybe three or four books a year – so I listen to podcasts and the occasional audiobook, and I watch TED talks.
Jose Gonzalez
The month of November makes me feel that life is passing more quickly. In an effort to slow it down, I try to fill the hours more meaningfully.
Henry Rollins
I’m not a big texter anyway. I’m really slow at it and so I try to avoid it to avoid embarrassment, you know what I mean?
Callan McAuliffe
Although becoming a singer was my plan A after first hearing Whitney Houston when I was 17, I started off with plan B by going to the teacher-training college that my dad went to. It was a slow coming of age.
Toni Braxton
I am a slow walker, but I never walk back.
Abraham Lincoln
If what you want is actual change, then what has to be built is a mass movement that is militant and can use direct action to slow or stop profit. A movement that can do that can demand whatever it wants.
Boots Riley
As a producer, when I’m trying to make something soft, I start with a slow tempo. Then after that, it would be straight to acoustic guitar and vocals, or I’m going to go strings and just piano.
Ty Dolla Sign
I look at Puff Daddy as somebody that gave me a chance to prove the whole world wrong. Cause when I used to think about rap, everybody would say, ‘Well, you talk too slow,’ or, ‘You rap too slow,’ when in reality, that was my uniqueness.
Mase
The creative scientific process is – It’s kind of – It’s a windy road that has a trajectory, but it’s a slow trajectory.
Pardis Sabeti
I’ve always loved acting, even from when I was a child. But when I got on stage, I realised I couldn’t act my way out of a paper bag. I was wild and full of unharnessed energy, but I was around all these seasoned performers like Rita Cullis. It was as if they were all in slow motion.
Claron McFadden
I had a great career. I have no reason to complain. It’s the way it goes in nature. You slow down. And I believe I lasted a lot longer than a lot of people.
Jens Voigt
I’ve become a workaholic. When the shows slow down and there’s no press and I can get my time to myself in the studio with my music, I get into this zone, man. I enter this incredible space where I’m just making music. And I feel like I can work with anybody – with Elton John, with Hanson – and I can make something incredible.
Wale
The labourer’s muscle is that of a cart-horse, his motions lumbering and slow.
Richard Jefferies
What makes autism different is the history of neglect into the disorder. It’s remained such a mystery that science has been very slow to address it.
Elizabeth Emken
Depending on how slow I move that day, weight training will take two to three hours.
Michelle Carter
It’s almost like Time’s Up allowed some really good old-school players to stand up and say, ‘We’re actually just really normal companies that want to facilitate culture-making. Some of us are even in it for the slow returns.’
Debra Granik
I really get inspired by songs. Like, if I hear a thug ‘Want to kill ya’ song, I’m ready to go out and get crazy. Or if you hear this really sexual, sensual slow song, I want to go have sex. I’m very animalistic when it comes to stuff like that. Very basic emotions.
Channing Tatum
‘Late bloomer’ is another way of saying ‘slow learner.’
Ben Fountain
Beyond 2050 the world population may start to decrease if women across the world will have, on average, less than 2 children. But that decrease will be slow.
Hans Rosling
I need to celebrate life because I’m in a good spot, I work hard, and I am happy with who I am and happy with what I do for a living, and sometimes I just focus and overwhelm myself so much with the fights and getting better, that I just need to slow it down and enjoy life and enjoy training.
Dustin Poirier
The original project began because we know the universe is expanding. Everybody had assumed that gravity would slow down the expansion of the universe and everything would come to a halt and collapse. The big surprise was it was actually speeding up.
Saul Perlmutter
I read hugely as a child, but I slowed up when the print got smaller. I am a very slow reader. I don’t know why. Maybe it is like some people chewing their food for ages and some wolfing it down.
Geraldine McCaughrean
That’s when I’m at my rawest. When I’m performing with the band. It’s just like the groove is going, whether we’re fast or slow, I can just transport myself.
Craig Robinson
Be slow to speak, and only after having first listened quietly, so that you may understand the meaning, leanings, and wishes of those who do speak. Thus you will better know when to speak and when to be silent.
Saint Ignatius
The bottom line is I’m a slow zombie guy – I’m always a slow zombie guy but I also know I’m in the minority.
Max Brooks
There are a few things that people all around the world need to admit to themselves. Trade restraints slow economic growth, the euro is not a reserve currency, and scoreless sports ties are boring.
P. J. O’Rourke
I look at ‘Straw Dogs’ as a very imperfect movie. It’s a little bit slow, and its themes are a little bit murky.
Rod Lurie
We started playing ‘Free Bird’ in clubs, and initially, it was just a slow ballad.
Gary Rossington
If you see a market that has slow and steady growth long enough, you’ll start to front-run it, and that slow and steady growth will start turning into steeper growth, and that will accelerate the process.
Erik Voorhees
A rule against paid fast lanes would encourage additional capacity; a rule permitting paid fast lanes would simply encourage cable companies to create congested slow lanes on the Internet so they could make money by selling fast lanes to big companies.
Marvin Ammori
My father, though, could run very much faster. It was impossible to compete with him on the grass. But it was astonishing how slow old people were. Some of them could not run up a hill and called it trying to climb stairs.
Georg Brandes
I wanted to master the art of cooking. Maybe, when I slow down and do one or two films a year, I will learn how to cook and pursue it as my hobby.
Dhanush
Are there moments when I see unrequited crushes or ex-boyfriends slow dancing with their dates and kind of want to stab myself in the spleen with a salad fork? Yeah, sure.
Sloane Crosley
‘Slow Heat in Heaven’ was my ‘breakout’ or ‘crossover’ book, and I loved the freedom I felt writing it.
Sandra Brown
I have always taken a step forward and believe that slow and steady wins the race.
Pulkit Samrat
I was very slow in maths, geometry I actually enjoyed.
Liam Neeson
I’m just a slow writer. I’m picky and careful and fastidious.
Frank Peretti
To bring the benefits of the digital age to all Americans, the FCC needs to make it easier for companies to build and expand broadband networks. We need to reduce the cost of broadband deployment, and we need to eliminate unnecessary rules that slow down or deter deployment.
Ajit Pai
Saving was slow and painful.
William Christopher Handy
It’s the need for change that drives us to join forces with our brothers and sisters all around the world – but change is slow.
Eric Burdon
What comes easiest for me is dialogue. Sometimes when my characters are speaking to me, I have to slow them down so that I’m not simply taking dictation.
Richard Russo
My entire learning process is slow, because I have no visual memory.
Georg Solti
By then, I was making the slow transition from classical biochemistry to molecular biology and becoming increasingly preoccupied with how genes act and how proteins are made.
Paul Berg
Some people get very confused about my game. They think it’s better if the court is slow, because I have a good defence. But the faster it is, the better for me. My spin is more painful for my opponents, my aggressive game works better.
Rafael Nadal
The horse I bet on was so slow, the jockey kept a diary of the trip.
Henny Youngman
Tea time is a chance to slow down, pull back and appreciate our surroundings.
Letitia Baldrige
You have to live life to the fullest. I don’t want to slow down. I want the giving to be stepped up. So the older I get, the less I will be involved in the business side, the more in the philanthropic side.
Jorge M. Perez
Since being diagnosed with Asperger’s, I’d been working with an acting coach who has now become a good friend. We’d been trying lots of improvisational techniques to help me with some of the problems I experience. But it’s a very slow process.
Paddy Considine
My brother is really, really slow.
Usain Bolt
In art there are only fast or slow developments. Essentially it is a matter of evolution, not revolution.
Bela Bartok
