When I consider the small span of my life absorbed in the eternity of all time, or the small part of space which I can touch or see engulfed by the infinite immensity of spaces that I know not and that know me not, I am frightened and astonished to see myself here instead of there... now instead of then.
Blaise Pascal

Once on-set hits, their life span is extremely short; one day to seven days.

Christopher Graves
When you look at the United Kingdom, we needed a network that helped us span the United Kingdom; we needed the people to help us grow the network. So now we have both. It's going to help address the pan-European network as we have built it.
Robert Annunziata
They know all my frustrations, especially my oldest. My youngest has always been on my hip and he has taken up with his daddy his whole life, except when I was apart from him.

PC technology moves faster than the consoles. Consoles have a three- to five-year life span. You can get new video cards every few months, so the PC will always be more powerful and it has better connections to the Internet.
Tim Willits
My music is the opposite of Nintendo. It works best for people who have an active attention span and are able to create worlds inside their head. It's a stimulus for the imagination, and it requires a bit more from the listener to build a world between the cracks.
Robert Rich
Service to humanity is service to God. Let the love and light of the Kingdom radiate through you until all who look upon you shall be illumined by its reflection. Be as stars, brilliant and sparkling in the loftiness of their heavenly station.

Bryce Drew

Joel Henderson

Deborah Carr
They planted 60,000 in two days. We had about 40 seniors come out one day and 25 the next day. They were able to do about 1,000 plants in an hour-and-a-half to two hours; that's all we work. Our attention span is only around two hours.
Wilson Archer
It was a busy three months there at the end of the season from the Olympics. There was lots of hockey. So a little injury, it didn't really hurt me that way. It was nothing serious. So a little break, it's always good, especially when we're playing that many games in a short time span. I feel good.
Teppo Numminen
Threats abound. This fish is almost infertile, with females laying up to 10 eggs in their 10-month life span. So we're hoping there are enough fish of breeding age to begin spawning.
Linda Manning
There is no precedent for an extended life span of 25 or more years, and a lot of people feel lost. A good retirement planner can change that.

Stuart Anderson
Karen- I'm not good or real... I'm evil, and imaginary.

We get bored. Our attention span is slim.
Joe Francis

Peter F. Drucker
A lot of things went our way in that game. There was a short span where we had two defensive touchdowns. The momentum we gained from that was a huge part of the game.
Kurt Kreiter
We're going to get a much longer life span out of them. We're doing them with stucco and concrete foundations.
Scott Siegel
ERUDITION, n. Dust shaken out of a book into an empty skull. So wide his erudition's mighty span, He knew Creation's origin and plan And only came by accident to grief -- He thought, poor man, 'twas right to be a thief. Romach Pute.
Ambrose Bierce
Both of them have very prolific offenses. I think being prepared for that and having two very tough games over the span of three days is something to be worried about, but that is what we have depth for and this is what we use it for.
Kerstin Kimel
How do you love? You fall in to it!! It is a continuous and ever-lasting feeling, even if you don't express it at all times.
Master Jin Kwon
Don't forget to check the turkey every 20 minutes just to keep some water in the pan, so that the turkey won't dry out during the two-hour time span..
Mable Beaman
Shots just didn't fall in the second half. I'll credit Jackson Center's defense for causing that. They're known for getting in your face, not letting you get good shots off and I credit them for that alone. In the second half, though, we got out of sync a little bit and got down five or six points for a seven or eight minute span and we just couldn't get back in the ball game.
Tom Platfoot
Human beings are born into this little span of life of which the best thing is its friendship and intimacies, and soon their places will know them no more, and yet they leave their friendships and intimacies with no cultivation, to grow as they will by the roadside, expecting them to 'keep' by force of inertia.
William James

Bill Reichert
This man lived to the fullest, through dance and through choreography, it's almost as if he lived to such an extent that his life span couldn't be as long as everyone else's. He would ask us to run through 'Red Angels' three times in an hour ... he was just enjoying the effect of his creation.
Peter Boal
Positive or negative energy is exchanged like a fair trade, the more you give, the more you receive.
Master Jin Kwon
Fort Madison has a lot of balance and is a very good basketball team. We just didn't get the defensive stops we needed in the third quarter. It just seems like a four-minute span is killing us right now, just as it did at Mount Pleasant.
Mick Flattery
You're talking about a span of about four hours, so probably it's mostly the same people.
Sean Walker
We got on the board early. Span turning on that pitch, that was nice. Situational hitting wasn't very good today. We had chances to blow the game open early. We push a couple across we're in better shape. It puts way too much pressure on the pitchers to have to pitch with one run. So we'll work on our situational hitting.
Riccardo Ingram
He wasn't talking to us. Maybe he was hoping someone was watching on C-SPAN.
Assemblyman Michael Gianaris
When you look at a world-class city, it should be neat, clean, spic and span - with good amenities, wide roads, aesthetically well developed, ... And, of course, intellectually sharp, something that attracts, that has a soul - culture, intellectual happenings.

I don't know what happened over the span of the 10-minute halftime. It was like I had put 11 different girls on the field.
Jennifer Truman
There's more than one individual, so they can refute the hypothesis that this is just some kind of freak. Also, the data suggest that [the remains are from] a fairly long time span, so that makes it tough to say that this is [due to some sort of disease].
Daniel Lieberman
Alive wanted something right away. The immediacy has been fun. Things have just happened. It's good for our attention span.
John Szymanski
We went through a four-minute span in the first quarter where I don't think we even got a shot off.
Joe Barcellos
He has the attention span of a lightning bolt.
Robert Redford
I used to drive the Twin Span Bridge three or four times a day, ... Now its destroyed.
Brian Williamson

Mary Mcginnis
Time is tight in a two- to three-year span, not a two- to three-month span.
David Morehouse
I'm hoping we can keep scoring like that. We played well except for about a 10-minute span in the third period. We're a young hockey team and we're going to learn from it.
Jamie Heward
The kids' attention span is limited anyway. They're happy to see a little, move on, come back to the ship, hang out with the friends they've made and eat American food for dinner.

Master Jin Kwon
Nothing penetrates the human heart as does a personal, fervent prayer and its heaven-sent response.
Thomas S. Monson
Every conventional naming book gives the guideline, 'Don't forget to look at the initials,' ... Even if the second study contradicts the first, and having bad initials is not going to shorten your life span, it could make what there is of your life less pleasant. And who wants to foist that on innocent children?
Pamela Redmond Satran
That's a wonderful foundation because they can visualize the chords, the scales - and they can start as young as their attention span allows, at 4, 5 or 6.
Carol Comerford
Grace- If you're looking for your Aunt Karen, she's not here. She doesn't work on days that end with..."day."
Will & Grace
They have a short life span.
Eduardo Ramirez

Earl Hamner
We know that in all species that have been studied, calorie restriction increases the maximum life span.
Eric Ravussin
Salem is a wide span.
Erin Miller
Americans continue to suffer from a notoriously short attention span. They get mad as hell with reasonable frequency, but quickly return to their families and sitcoms. Meanwhile, the corporate lobbies stay right where they are, outlasting all the populist hysteria.
Eric Alterman
I feel like I have a hangover, without all the happy memories and mystery bruises.
