Before becoming a mom I never knew how good I had it to just spend time at a spa for a few hours. Now those days are far and between. So when I have an hour it's all about the mani and pedi.

Some of the best times I've spent in Colorado have been in the backcountry with my mom and siblings and more recently with my own kids. That is why I'm concerned to see today's kids spending more time browsing the Internet than exploring nature.

My mom calls me an older soul because growing up she taught me stuff real early. Now I spend most of my time chasing wisdom chasing understanding.

I spend as much time with my kids as any mom who stays home. I only work during the hours they're at school but there is always the sense of trying to catch up with all their stuff and not only organize my work life but also their school lives.

I don't spend a lot of time online. My mother's really good at picking out if she sees a really great review and she'll forward it to me. She's like my little Internet filter. It's always nice to see something going up if I want to find something on Nathan Fillion I do know where to look but I've got a nice little delivery system in my mom.

I spend my afternoons painting and working on my Open Hearts jewelry line for Kay Jewelers. I designed an image of a heart that isn't completely closed. My mom always told me to live with an open heart - when life gets tough you should go out and help someone else.

Mothers always find ways to fit in the work - but then when you're working you feel that you should be spending time with your children and then when you're with your children you're thinking about working.

And it was back in the mid-1980s and as I point out in a piece that was when we are spending about eight percent of our gross domestic product on health care. And even then we had the impression that so much of the excessive aggressive medical treatment that took place at the end of life was not only unnecessary but it was cruel.

Medicine is my lawful wife and literature my mistress when I get tired of one I spend the night with the other.

I never thought I'd spend all my life with Gary. I suppose I was quite cynical about marriage. But with Jude I knew right from the beginning: there was an electricity I'd never felt before. It was so easy we talked for hours. It was a relief really.

Spending only what the country can afford rewarding savings encouraging independence supporting marriage: people know that these things are common sense.

I think women are natural caretakers. They take care of everybody. They take care of their husbands and their kids and their dogs and don't spend a lot of time just getting back and taking time out.

If a man walks in the woods for love of them half of each day he is in danger of being regarded as a loafer. But if he spends his days as a speculator shearing off those woods and making the earth bald before her time he is deemed an industrious and enterprising citizen.

There is only one success - to be able to spend your life in your own way.

I don't believe in an afterlife so I don't have to spend my whole life fearing hell or fearing heaven even more. For whatever the tortures of hell I think the boredom of heaven would be even worse.

Because we have so much eye candy and mind candy spending so much time trying to pay the rent all of this conspires to keep us from thinking too hard or taking action from that. Our time is stolen. So much of our daily life is stolen.

I just got one last thing I urge all of you all of you to enjoy your life the precious moments you have. To spend each day with some laughter and some thought to get you're emotions going.

Life is too short to spend hoping that the perfectly arched eyebrow or hottest new lip shade will mask an ugly heart.

Time is the coin of your life. It is the only coin you have and only you can determine how it will be spent. Be careful lest you let other people spend it for you.

Lawyers spend a great deal of their time shoveling smoke.

Father in spite of all this spending of money in learning Latin I will be a painter.

I think I'm going to spend some time learning how to be a first-time mom and then I'll go back to work.

Some kids don't know where they'll spend the night. How can we expect them to focus on learning?

In the United States we spend millions of dollars on sports because it promotes teamwork discipline and the experience of learning to make great progress in small increments. Learning to play music does all this and more.
