Lots of places to hone your skill as an artist and still earn a paycheck while you’re waiting to kick the door down. – Joe Madureira
Socialism and communism fall of their own weight because, as Margaret Thatcher said, you run out of other people’s money. Because socialized medicine never falls of its own weight because you put people on lists, and they die waiting to get the treatment and care. So you don’t go broke. – Louie Gohmert
Since the events of September 11, we’ve rightfully changed our military strategy so we’re now taking the fight to those individuals who aim to do us harm, rather than waiting for another atrocious attack to happen. – Jim Gerlach
I keep waiting for someone to cast me as the angel or the witch or the immortal of some kind because so much of the reading I do for my own pleasure is fantasy, horror, or sci-fi. – Lorraine Toussaint

If you’re a waiter and you’re waiting on me, you might get five percent, you might get seventy percent. It depends on how bad my math skills are that day. – Kelly Ripa
It’s nice to have something else going on when a book comes out so you’re not just sitting by the phone, waiting for things to happen. You don’t want to be the guy Googling himself all day. – Jonathan Dee
The best things in life are often waiting for you at the exit ramp of your comfort zone. – Karen Salmansohn
You’ve got a lot of very, very smart people standing by waiting for somebody else to do the work. Not a recipe for long-term solvency in my opinion. – Mike Rowe
I don’t consider myself a pessimist. I think of a pessimist as someone who is waiting for it to rain. And I feel soaked to the skin. – Leonard Cohen
Samuel Beckett’s ‘Waiting for Godot,’ billed as ‘the laugh sensation of two continents,’ made its American debut at the Coconut Grove Playhouse, in Miami, Florida, in 1956. My father, Bert Lahr, was playing Estragon, one of the two bowler-hatted tramps who pass the time in a lunar landscape as they wait in vain for the arrival of a Mr. Godot. – John Lahr
Instead of waiting until the holiday season – when mail solicitations flood in from worthy organizations – and making a flurry of gifts because this is the time of year to give, sit down and take stock. Identify your passion, learn about it, and direct your time, mind, and dollars to aligned causes and organizations. – Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen
I don’t work very much, and I just sit here waiting for a script that I can’t refuse – and I’m not talking about money. – Michael Caine

I’ve been waiting for that bright sunshine to show up and shine in my back door someday. – Luther Allison

Buying a particular vintage because everyone tips it and then waiting for it to mature is like gambling. The thrill is in placing the bet. Once the race is run or the match is played, you’ll either win or lose. Until that happens, you’re caught in this wonderful, agonising sense of expectation. – Kenneth Cranham
Nationalism of the Irish type is often regarded as reactionary. With the World Revolution and the Classless Society waiting for the midwife, why take a torch to the stable to assist at the birth of a puppy? Even if the puppy is pedigree. On this question I am unable to make up my mind. – Louis MacNeice
When comics came along in the 1930s there was a talent pool waiting. And one reason is so many areas were closed to Jews. Colleges, advertising agencies, many of the corporations – the doors that were closed led to the one that was open. – Jerry Robinson
