Into a mouth shut flies flie not.
George Herbert
Image
Time flies when you're running out of money.
James Cook
Image
I don't miss much about my childhood. I lived in a good neighborhood, a wacky neighborhood. It was a very boy-heavy neighborhood - kind of Lord of the Flies-y. So many weird things happened, funny things.
Justin Theroux
Image
Which arrow flies for ever? The arrow that has hit its mark.
Vladimir Nabokov
Image
Banish (the onion) from the kitchen and the pleasure flies with it. Its presence lends color and enchantment to the most modest dish its absence reduces the rarest delicacy to hopeless insipidity, and dinner to despair.
Elizabeth Robins Pennell
Image
When I was young I used to smother myself with olive oil mixed with a dash of vinegar to keep the flies away and lay in the sunshine for hours on end. But we knew no better then. Now we know how stupid that was.
Stephanie Beacham
Image
With boys you always know where you stand. Right in the path of a hurricane. It's all there. The fruit flies hovering over their waste can, the hamster trying to escape to cleaner air, the bedrooms decorated in Early Bus Station Restroom.
Erma Bombeck
Image
A verse may find him, who a sermon flies, And turn delight into a sacrifice.
George Herbert
Image
Live while you live, the epicure would say, And seize the pleasures of the present day Live while you live the sacred preacher cries, And give to God each moment as it flies. Lord, in my views let both united be I live to pleasure when I live to thee.
Philip Doddridge
Image
Education is not just you learn how a mosquito flies in the rain, but you learn how to be creative and why it's exciting to learn things and create things and make up new things.
Noam Chomsky
Image
Tempus fugit (time flies).
Ovid
Image
The very dogs were all asleep, and the flies, drunk with moist sugar in the grocer's shop, forgot their wings and briskness, and baked to death in dusty corners of the window.
Charles Dickens
Image
Each moment is the fruit of forty thousand years. The minute-winning days, like flies, buzz home to death, and every moment is a window on all time.
Thomas Wolfe
Image
Lull'd in the countless chambers of the brain, Our thoughts are link'd by many a hidden chain Awake but one, and lo, what myriads rise! Each stamps its image as the other flies!
Samuel Rogers
Image
Innocence ain’t all it’s cracked up to be, you know. Innocent little kids rip the wings off flies, because they don’t know any better. That’s innocence
Joe Hill
Image
Eye Nature's walks, shoot folly as it flies, And catch the manners living as they rise Laugh where we must, be candid where we can, But vindicate the ways of God to man.
Alexander Pope
Image
Sometimes a lengthened period of prosperity melts away in a moment just as the heat of summer flies before a day of tempest.
Luc de Clapiers
Image
We are not created for any grander purpose than the ants that are there or the flies that are hovering around us or the mosquitoes that are sucking our blood.
U.G. Krishnamurti
Image
He who commends the nature of the soul as the supreme good, and condemns the nature of the flesh as evil, at once both carnally desires the soul, and carnally flies the flesh, because he feels thus from human vanity, not from divine truth.
Saint Augustine
Image
Time flies. Time flies faster every year. Time flies whether you're having fun or not, whether you're living your life big or small, whether you surround yourself with fear or laughter.
Claire Cook
Image
I believe that anyone who flies in an airplane and doesn't spend most of his time looking out the window wastes his money.
Marc Reisner
Image
Fast fading violets cover'd up in leaves And mid-May's eldest child, The coming musk-rose, full of dewy wine, The murmurous haunt of flies on summer eves.
John Keats
Image
Cara: *Flies* Gen: What? I don't have wings! Cara: Ofcourse not! You're a boy.
Jim Henson
Image
And I always think of life like a giant wave. You know, it rises and it crests and it flies, and it's just magnificent, and then it crashes. And for a lot of people, when it crashes, that's the end, and they go down the deep, dark hole of depression.
Jane Seymour
