Running Quotes
Television hangs on the questionable theory that whatever happens anywhere should be sensed everywhere. If everyone is going to be able to see everything, in the long run all sights may lose whatever rarity value they once possessed, and it may well turn out that people, being able to see and hear practically everything, will be specially interested in almost nothing.

Running Quotes
A man's liberal and conservative phases seem to follow each other in a succession of waves from the time he is born. Children are radicals. Youths are conservatives, with a dash of criminal negligence. Men in their prime are liberals (as long as their digestion keeps pace with their intellect). The middle aged run to shelter: they insure their life, draft a will, accumulate mementos and occasional tables, and hope for security. And then comes old age, which repeats childhood - a time full of humors and sadness, but often full of courage and even prophecy.

Heat Of The Sun Quotes
It was the best place to be, thought Wilbur, this warm delicious cellar, with the garrulous geese, the changing seasons, the heat of the sun, the passage of swallows, the nearness of rats, the sameness of sheep, the love of spiders, the smell of manure, and the glory of everything.
-
Jobs Quotes
Just to live in the country is a full-time job. You don't have to do anything. The idle pursuit of making a living is pushed to one side, where it belongs, in favor of living itself, a task of such immediacy, variety, beauty, and excitement that one is powerless to resist its wild embrace.

Funny Quotes
Every American, to the last man, lays claim to a "sense" of humor and guards it as his most significant spiritual trait, yet rejects humor as a contaminating element wherever found. America is a nation of comics and comedians; nevertheless, humor has no stature and is accepted only after the death of the perpetrator.

New York Quotes
New York blends the gift of privacy with the excitement of participation; and better than most dense communities it succeeds in insulating the individual (if he wants it, and almost everybody wants or needs it) against all enormous and violent and wonderful events that are taking place every minute.

Running Quotes
The Supreme Court said nothing about silliness, but I suspect it may play more of a role than one might suppose. People are, if anything, more touchy about being thought silly than they are about being thought unjust... Probably the first slave ship, with Negroes lying in chains on its decks, seemed commonsensical to the owners who operated it and to the planters who patronized it. But such a vessel would not be in the realm of common sense today. The only sense that is common, in the long run, is the sense of change.
-
Fall Quotes
I believe television is going to be the test of the modern world, and that in this new opportunity to see beyond the range of our vision, we shall discover a new and unbearable disturbance of the modern peace, or a saving radiance in the sky. We shall stand or fall by television - of that I am quite sure.
-
Advantage Quotes
First and foremost, I'm not going to evaluate any of our coaches publicly; I don't think that's appropriate. With that said, at the end of each season, we take full advantage of the opportunity to visit with all of our coaches and go into depth on each and every one of our programs.
-
Bad Quotes
It's one of those things where you know the team is better than the way we've played. We see it from time to time. Trouble is, our bad stretches last a little longer, which comes from us having a younger team. We haven't been able to figure out how to kick ourselves in the behind and bounce back faster.
-
Anxious Quotes
It's only a matter of time. He'll have plenty of 40-plus yards runs on the record by the end of the year. I know he's anxious to get some, and he will. It's a function of persistence, holding to the integrity of the landmarks, trusting your speed, and maybe somebody holding a block downfield for a split second longer. It will happen.
-
Aunt Quotes
It fills a little niche; nobody's ever written about this before in this way because it's a book about a serious subject but told with such a respectful, light touch. It's one of those books you sit down and read start to finish because you can't put it down. And after you finish, you say 'My aunt would like this, and so would my great-grandmother and my sister.' And so people will buy one, and then come back and buy 10.

Addition Quotes
For 30 years scientists have suspected that gene regulation has played a central role in human evolution. In addition to lending support to the idea that changes in gene regulation are a key part of our evolutionary history, these new results help to define exactly which regulatory factors may be important, at least in certain tissues. This helps open the door to a functional dissection of the role of gene regulation during the evolution of modern humans.

Abundance Quotes
People who live from abundance feel that there is more than enough of everything in the world to go around. More than enough money, food, work, material things, more than enough love. Why do they feel that way? Because they see that they themselves are enough. They are not dependent on external influences to make them feel more whole and complete.
-
Communication Quotes
It shows the complexity of the day -- the frailties, lack of communication and frustration. This is not a happy film; this is not a pretty film; this film describes in real time the deaths that occurred. It shows footage of the Towers and the Pentagon and weaves Flight 93 through it all.

Attend Quotes
There's a little magic about Notre Dame and there are innumerable idiosyncrasies about this special place as well, ... and somebody who had attend Notre Dame as an undergraduate and had the opportunity to be part of the residential nature of this campus, and to have been touched by the spirituality that perhaps exist here, I think is just in a much better position to serve as one of the most visible leaders of this institution.
-
Afford Quotes
Intellectually, we know for certain that we are on this planet for a very brief period, yet we tend to live as if we were going to live forever, as if there were no end to our life or to the lives of our friends and family. This not-so-subtle denial of death persists throughout our lives, unless we are lucky enough to get a dramatic, usually painful and invariably life-changing wake-up call. The moments of our lives are ephemeral gifts, and we can not afford to miss even one of them. Happily, you don't have to wait for a painful wake-up call. You can notice the miracle of your life right now. Awareness is a choice.
-
Challenge Quotes
My younger kids are great. They did whatever they could to make those seniors better. Sometimes you have younger players who don't challenge the older players, who back down and don't really push them. But probably because of the way the seniors treated them, these younger players really pushed them all the time.
-
Ability Quotes
In the quick-serve restaurant industry, our success rests on our ability to motivate our staff, streamline our operations and empower our employees. The applications that run on our Cisco IP phones are helping us maintain our unique sense of culture and improve our communication capabilities. I never imagined a phone would have such an impact on my business.

Both Quotes
It was pretty simple, really. They did a better job up front than we did on both sides of the ball. Jason was on his back just about every time we tried to do anything more than a three-step drop. . . . And we we're unable to get to Stafford and he had all kinds of time to find his receivers.

Extra Quotes
Students returned still in lock-down mode to give teachers an opportunity to take roll. Then, the school went into an abbreviated instructional schedule. We did what we were supposed to do. We went into lock-down. We promptly evacuated the building. And we took the extra step of making sure that all students were accounted for.
