A man watches his pear tree day after day, impatient for the ripening of the fruit. Let him attempt to force the process, and he may spoil both fruit and tree. But let him patiently wait, and the ripe pear at length falls into his lap.
Abraham Lincoln
'Parks and Rec' is definitely a mainstream show - the group that watches it on TV on Thursday night is small, but the audience that watches it on things like Hulu, Netflix, and Tivo is enormous.
Adam Scott
I'm not one of those players who always gets to games or watches every game on TV. If a game is on and I'm free, I'll watch it but I won't make my schedule around a football match.
Adebayo Akinfenwa
At 'OITNB,' we really work to keep to the formula that's made this show so popular with everyone who watches it, which is to have really good characters and really interesting stories.
Adrienne C. Moore
For a guy who used to steal watches on the streets of Chandni Chowk for kicks, I surely think my success at the age of 22 was pretty early!
Akshay Kumar
I have one of those Garmin watches, and I'm OCD about downloading my runs no matter where I go. I used it on an 18-mile run in Paris, a 12-miler in the mountains of Montana, a couple of runs in the Bahamas. Wherever I am, I try to run. That's what's so great about it.
Al Roker
In 'A Scandalous Woman,' the eventually distraught narrator watches as her high-spirited friend is beaten down - literally and figuratively - by Ireland's pious customs.
Alan Cheuse
Conflict photographers grapple with two worlds that are themselves often in conflict - the one where bombs fall and bullets fly, where adrenaline runs high, and the other, back home, which is comparatively secure, and where the big event of the day may involve selecting swatches of fabric for a new sofa.
Alan Huffman
I despair of reality television, but I've never met anyone who watches it. Or people say, 'I watch it, but I hate it.' I've never met anyone who loves it. It's like, it's there, and we have to accept it.
Alastair Reynolds
An intellectual is someone whose mind watches itself.
Albert Camus
When I was 18, I began attending college for art and design, and I designed all sorts of things from furniture to industrial designs and even watches.
Aldis Hodge
There are shows that are monolithic successes on TV that nobody in the business ever watches one episode of.
Alec Baldwin
Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you - you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside.
Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn
It's unfortunate when I see brands spending a lot of time and money on creating online content that hardly anyone watches.
Alex Hirschi
Happy is the person who not only sings, but feels God's eye is on the sparrow, and knows He watches over me. To be simply ensconced in God is true joy.
Alfred A. Montapert
Some watches I bought, I think now, 'Why the hell did I pay that much for a watch?'
Amir Khan
Concentrate your energies, your thoughts and your capital. The wise man puts all his eggs in one basket and watches the basket.

Andy Murray
Anyone who watches golf on television would enjoy watching the grass grow on the greens.
Andy Rooney

Anuel AA
I got a lot of money like invested in watches. When I buy watches I make sure, like you could go buy and they're still gonna have the same price, the same value, or maybe more.
When we are in possession, tactically, he is the best coach in the world for me. He works hard, watches a lot of games, and prepares us really well. Guardiola has the feeling for gaping spaces, and he already had that as a player.
I love Casio G-Shocks. My dream is to have watches in all colours. I also love gold watches. I'd like to have a diamond-studded gold watch some day.
My 11-year-old thinks I'm cool because he watches things I've made on YouTube.
Everybody watches Bruce Lee. That's a legend. He's the man!
I grew up in a rural area called Vega Baja and I'm the first of so many talented people in this area to make it out. I take great pride to represent where I come from and I am able to show my fans, and everyone who listens and watches me, that anything is possible.
When someone watches us eating, we feel exposed. We might also harbor a suspicion that the person staring wants to steal food from our plate. The taboo, in any case, is long-standing.
You can have your own watch and always doubt it. If I had a watch I'd probably always be doubting it or the batteries would be dying. I just know that people always have trouble with their watches, and that's why I like public clocks.
It's the classic thing - children's TV gets watched by everybody, not just children. 'Horrible Histories' is the sort of thing everyone watches.
That was real baseball. We weren't playing for money. They gave us Mickey Mouse watches that ran backwards.
Everybody out there watches the show and has expectations of wanting to be an 'Idol', but we're going to teach them how much hard work goes into it.
I'm always buying nice watches for my husband - Bentley Breitlings.
I am just a guy that watches sports all day.
I am just like all the jerks and idiots you know. I am just a guy that watches sports all day.
People come up to us at live events or at signings and thank us, saying, 'My wife or girlfriend watches wrestling now,' or that they weren't into wrestling, but because of 'Total Divas,' they are now.
On stage, the audience watches from a fixed viewpoint and the director cannot retake something he doesn't like. It has to work straight through.
I think that people can relate to family. There is a person that watches the show because they want to see what I am going to create. There is a person that watches the show because they want to see my family.
I like watches.
A lesser complaint: hair extensions. There are moments on 'All My Children' when half the women actors, young and old, seem to be afflicted by android Barbie creep. All those thick swatches of lifeless strands clustering lankly round ladies' necks! Like orange tanning spray, this is a fashion fad that should be put out of its misery.
My wife watches me like a hawk.
I got players with bad watches - they can't tell midnight from noon.
The thing to me about this sport, all the fans, everyone that watches, everyone that has a career has had a bad day at work. If you have a project, you have a quota that you have to meet, you can screw up at it. At the end of the day, you get to go home to your family; you can bring your work home with you or not.
If you don't watch 'The Young Turks,' you don't know me at all. Whereas no one watches Anderson Cooper, but everyone knows him.
I love watches. I have a Hublot, a Breitling, and a Cartier. Different accessories that I match together just to be comfortable and casual.
The half minute which we daily devote to the winding-up of our watches is an exertion of labour almost insensible; yet, by the aid of a few wheels, its effect is spread over the whole twenty-four hours.
The younger generation watches what's interesting, not whether it's presented by someone who is as old as I am or someone who is as old as a 21-year-old. It's the material. If I did a series of conversations on things most interesting to Millennials, they would respond to it, and I do.
I am very, very conscious of time. I always wear two watches. People ask me, 'Why do you do that?' Because I was late once,and it cost me a huge opportunity.
Clothes are particularly hard to value. While cars and high-tech gadgets - Maseratis, Audemars Piguet watches, and first-generation iPhones - offer not only performance but the cachet of a visibly rich item, clothing does less to convey what you spent on it. Clothes get stained and snagged, and they go out of style quickly.
I've always been someone who really watches other people, human behavior. To watch it and be able to express it through your version has always been really exciting to me.
Jewelery isn't really my thing, but I've always got my eye on people's watches.
