Oak Quotations | Page 2

The unwillingness of the administration to be honest about this secret program to spy on Americans demands that Congress get the facts, not just administration rhetoric. The truth can be determined without compromising national security. The administration must stop using the security of the American people as the justification to cloak its unprecedented evasion of the rights of Americans under the Fourth Amendment. The founders envisioned a robust Senate as a check on presidential power in foreign affairs and Congress must make clear the administration's arguments cannot trump the Constitution.

I have always been very interested in historic architecture. It's just got a rich history from the famous garden district to the oak lined streets.

River Oaks is one of the most prestigious and historically significant venues in American tennis and is going to be a great long term home for the Stanford Cup. We love the intimate feel of the venue and believe both the players and the fans will appreciate this special setting.

You might think that religion was the one area in which professional jealousy would take a back seat. But no: ecclesiastical memoirs are as viperish as any, though their envy tends to cloak itself in piety.

It would be nice to get something to soak in.

It would be nice to accomplish my goal, but it's not a big deal if I don't do it. I am just looking to soak up the experience and finish the race, so we can raise money for the people who need it.

It would be such a great accomplishment for the program and the little kids who want to play for the Oak leafs when they get older. It'd great to have another Des Moines team win a championship.

It will be a fun time to be able to play a venue like the Royal Oak Music Theatre and to be able to play a big show for our hometown crowd. We haven't had the chance to do that for a couple of years.

We get a lot of people from out of state who come down and it's not what they expect Florida to be, the horse farms and oak trees instead of the sand and the ocean.

We are not using inferior pavement. It's sort of like using oak instead of mahogany, you still are going to have a good quality project.
