“Four years ago, I felt the importance of the Olympics and how it is different from other events. It's a completely different atmosphere. The main advice I can give my teammates is to try to enjoy the experience.” GivingTryingYearsI CanDifferentFeltEnjoyFourAdviceEventsYears AgoImportanceAtmosphereFour YearsOlympicsTeammate Author:Kohei Uchimura
“The qualifying system helps the top guys like Sergio Garcia, who play most of their golf in the U.S. They can rely on the world rankings and just play their four extra events [with the four majors and three World Golf Championship events counting as seven European events]. But for the other guys it's tough, and I don't know if that can be changed. It is a tricky situation.” IfsKnowsWorldPlayHelpingGuyThreeSituationFourEventsChangedMajorsToughGolfSevenRelyExtrasChampionshipCountingTrickyOther GuysRankingQualifying Author:Luke Donald
“Grief is not just a series of events, stages, or timelines. Our society places enormous pressure on us to get over loss, to get through grief. But how long do you grieve for a husband of fifty years, a teenager killed in a car accident, a four-year-old child: a year? Five years? Forever? The loss happens in time, in fact in a moment, but its aftermath lasts a lifetime.” YearsChildrenLongMomentsFactsHappensLastsLossGriefForeverFiveFourStageCarEventsHusbandPressureSeriesLifetimeAccidentsEnormousTeenagerGrievingFive YearsFiftyOur SocietyFour YearsGet OverAftermathCar AccidentTimelines Author:Elisabeth Kubler-Ross
“There are four great events in history, the siege of Troy, the life and crucifixion of Christ, the exile of Krishna in Brindaban and the colloquy on the field of Kurukshetra. The siege of Troy created Hellas, the exile in Brindaban created devotional religion, (for before there was only meditation and worship), Christ from his cross humanized Europe, the colloquy at Kurukshetra will yet liberate humanity.” HumanityChristFourMeditationEventsFieldsWorshipEuropeCrossesExileKrishnaCrucifixionDevotionalSiegeGreat EventsCrucifixion Of ChristEvents In History Author:Sri Aurobindo
“There is, for instance, only one page at the beginning of Runciman's three-volume History of the Crusades describing how the participants decided to begin four hundred years of wars, and then several thousand pages devoted to the routes, battles and other events which make up the "history" of the Crusades.” YearsWarThreeFourEventsBattleThousandPagesHundredDecidedInstanceDevotedVolumeRoutesDescribingParticipantsCrusades Book:The New Psychohistory Source: The New Psychohistory
“How this feels is I'm just another task in God's daily planner: The Renaissance pencilled in for right after the Dark Ages. The Information Age is scheduled immediately after the Industrial Revolution. Then the Post-Modern Era, then The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Famine. Check. Pestilence. Check. War. Check. Death. Check. And between the big events, the earthquakes and tidal waves, God's got me squeezed in for a cameo appearance. Then maybe in thirty years, or maybe next year, God's daily planner has me finished.” FeelsYearsWarBigsAgeNextDarkFourModernEventsInformationRevolutionTasksWaveAppearanceFinishedChecksErasPostsThirtyApocalypseNext YearEarthquakesDark AgesRenaissanceFamineThirty YearsIndustrial RevolutionPlannersInformation AgePestilenceHorsemenTidal WavesBig EventsModern EraCameosFour HorsemenFour Horsemen Of The Apocalypse Author:Chuck Palahniuk
“There were never a lot of attacks on my work. We were building more parks than were ever built in the city, building more recreation centers, fixing more streets. We had national events, the Super Bowl, the (Major League Baseball) All-Star game, Final Four. We built seven hotels. The city hadn't built a hotel in 20 or more years.” YearsGamesStarsCitiesFourStreetsEventsBuildingMajorsBuiltBaseballSevenFinalsLeagueParksHotelBowlsRecreationFixingSuper BowlMajor LeagueAll StarsMajor League Baseball Author:Kwame Kilpatrick
“The Bible is full of interest. It has noble poetry in it; and some clever fables; and some blood-drenched history; and some good morals; and a wealth of obscenity; and upwards of a thousand lies. This Bible is built mainly out of fragments of older Bibles that had their day and crumbled to ruin. So it noticeably lacks in originality, necessarily. Its three or four most imposing and impressive events all happened in earlier Bibles; there are only two new things in it: hell, for one, and that singular heaven I have told you about.” TwoLyingThreeHeavenInterestWealthMoralHellFourHappenedBloodEventsThousandBuiltNobleCleverRuinsOriginalityNew ThingsFragmentsImpressiveFablesImposingObscenityGood Moral Author:Mark Twain
“I have an older sister and my mom would dress us up identically, so in all of our pictures, we're in these giant pink, poufy outfits. I remember when I was four or five, we all went to a theme park and I had to go to the bathroom but couldn't hold it in anymore. Let's just say, I had to buy a brand new outfit! But that moment was the first time I remember ever wearing something different from my sister at an event. It was my breakthrough moment when I decided I was never going to match my sister again!” FirstsDifferentMomentsRememberFiveFourEventsMomFirst TimeDecidedDressesMy MomBrandsGiantsParksThemeThat MomentMy SisterBathroomRemember WhenBreakthroughBrand NewOutfitsOlder SisterTheme Parks Author:Analeigh Tipton
“Man is unable to accurately predict events which are but twenty-four hours distant; only the Divine Mind could have foretold the future, centuries before it came to be.
