And if we don't want our loved ones to be talked about in that way, let's not engage in that kind of conversation about somebody else's loved one.

Let this be understood, then, at starting; that the patient conquest of difficulties which rise in the regular and legitimate channels of business and enterprise is not only essential in securing the success which you seek but it is essential to that preparation of your mind, requisite for the enjoyment of your successes, and for retaining them when gained. So, day by day, and week by week; so month after month, and year after year, work on, and in that process gain strength and symmetry, and nerve and knowledge, that when success, patiently and bravely worked for, shall come, it may find you prepared to receive it and keep it,

What's past is past, it's too bloody late to do anything else. I've been very blessed and lucky in my life. To want to change the path of destiny is kind of a mistake, it leads to discontent. I don't feel complacent, but I feel content.

David Archer

What's most tragic is that this denial of basic education leads to over 1 million unnecessary child and maternal deaths a year.

Bob Collins

We've asked all our section pros to put their program up on the Web site and I'm really, really excited the way they're starting to get involved.

Paul Stamm

We've approached the other trusts and have gotten a verbal commitment, but they would like to be able to be the monies that put us over the top in the project. This has a great chance of being a reality and we really need $10 and $25 donations from people in the community.

Joe Hudak

We've always wanted to try to figure out ways to improve our attendance. There's no doubt it's a great advantage if you can have a lot of people in the stands cheering for you and cheering against your opponents.

Charlie Sands

We've always tried to have the thing that people want.

Tim Coghlin

We've always thought they were a very skilled team but they're even more skilled than people know. They skate really well, they swarm the puck, the protect they puck well. They all have exceptional puck skills, stick skills, and they compete.

Terry Lickona

We've always known there was a reason to keep all these original masters. We've never erased a single tape from any show we've ever done.

We're proud of these old shows and we think they deserve to be seen by new generations of fans and people that have been fans all along.

Larry Meyers

When I was in politics I had no problem making decisions, ... In fact, I was overly vocal many times and never hesitated to let people know where I stood, because I think that?s part of being honest in politics.

We're getting the sort of 'compromise' American politics specializes in: the one where things are intentionally made worse for most people in the hopes that if things are made bad enough, the other side will cave.

Alan Jackson

I don't like politics, hypocrites, folks with poodles...

Timothy Gardner

What has been demonstrated by this trial is that vitamin B-6 and folic acid are not helpful in preventing heart disease. The key message for people taking vitamins is to be careful -- you can overdo what you thought was beneficial,

Ban Ki-moon

My U.N. five-point plan focuses on preventing proliferation, strengthening the legal regime, and ensuring nuclear safety and security - an effort that was given good momentum by the Nuclear Security Summit held in Seoul earlier this year. The world is over-armed, and peace is underfunded.

Peter Butler

We've avoided a race because it is inappropriate, and it may make you make some bad decisions. The damage is not just to the patient but the reputation of the whole field.

Brian Vickers

When it comes down to the end of the race, a 1-2-3 finish is great. But all three of us wants to be 1.

Craig Fuller

We're going to train progressively toward the end of the year. Last year we ran well for most of the season, but when it came to nationals we had our worst race of the year. We'll make sure we're ready at the right time this year.

Peyton Sellers

We're going to take this first race and keep a conservative approach to it, go home in one piece and try to get better for the next race. The car we've got now is a good car and we're going to build a better car.

Dick DeGuerin

We're going to see the outside money come into this race that will make 2002 and 2003 pale by comparison.

Larry King

We're going to point her towards that race again, and we need to get a couple races in her - this seems like a good place to start.

Kenny Troutt

Jochen Zeitz

When it came to the discussion about would Harley do an electric bike, I said, 'Absolutely - this is a no-brainer.' Let's define the sound of the future.

Norman Blake

When I was a kid I listened to a lot of punk music, but then along came Orange Juice, ... They really broadened my musical perspective. They were self-deprecating and had a great sense of humor. And they sounded like Velvet Underground meeting Al Green. They called themselves 'the sound of young Scotland,' a play on Motown's 'Sound of Young America.'

Herbie Hancock

You don't know what that's going to sound like; you just do it because the urge is there.

Abbie Letz

We're more confident and believe we can win every game we play. A rematch sounds really good right now.

Wayne Coyne

We remixed them in 5.1, which doesn't sound like much, but let me tell you it's really a crazy, complicated thing to take these things that you did almost 15 years ago and revisit 'em in this format that only became available a couple years ago. A lot of bands can't do that because they don't have their own recordings. But we've always recorded ourselves, so it's a matter of me just going to the back room and grabbing the tapes and sort of putting them back on the reel. It's a weird treat.

We're so sound on defense that we didn't feel we needed to blitz to get the type of pressure we needed, you know, to get the great underneath coverage we got from our secondary.

Carolyn Anderson

We're sort of the soundtrack to these wonderful, wonderful images, ... The subject is the universe, but we interpret that loosely.

one of the greatest statesmen of our time and help bring this internationally important public space into the 21st century.

Max Cleland

Mark Twain

Statesmen will invent cheap lies, putting blame upon the nation that is attacked, and every man will be glad of those conscience-soothing falsities, and will diligently study them, and refuse to examine any refutations of them; and thus he will by an

Will Rogers

Statesmen think they make history; but history makes itself and drags the statesmen along.

David Ellefson

I think reuniting original lineups is awesome. Ultimately, that's what people want to see. You know, you see elder statesmen of classic rock doing it whether it be REO SPEEDWAGON or STYX doing it. You know, getting as many of the original members that are still around. You see them doing it, you see metal bands doing it, pop bands DURAN DURAN , everybody's trying to do that. I think what everybody realizes at some point is that if you can make those things work it's really cool. Ultimately, that's what the fans want to see when they go see those bands. They want to relive that piece of their youth or that piece of their life when that band was doing what they do best. So, I think given the right circumstances, those things usually fare pretty well for everybody. And most importantly, the fans are happy about it.

David Snowden

We've always worked well within DoD guidelines and of course will continue to do so. We support the directive and all regulations that would protect military members from unscrupulous business practices.

Mario J. Molina

When I was in elementary school, I was very interested in science already. I must have been ten or eleven years old. I started experiments with chemistry sets at my home in Mexico. I was able to borrow a bathroom and convert it to a laboratory. My parents supported it. They were pleased. My friends just tolerated it.

Jesse Segall

When it comes down to a trial, we're going to try go get people down to support him. He's one of the nicest kids ever. He deserves our support.

we remember forever for his deep caring, support and solidarity toward the Cuban people and our revolution.

Jose Rios

We're marching to support the people who come here to work for a better life. This is what we're all fighting for.

Jerry Cantrell

We're making it up as we go along. It's what we always did in the past. We're writing the book as we live it. We feel confident that we will have a good time and that it's something that will live up to the same level. It's an exploratory thing, and we're just having fun with it. We'd like to go out and play for the people that supported us and love the music as much as we have all these years. We want to celebrate what we did and the memory of our friend.

J. Horton

We're making history again. Never before have we supported so many state and federal missions.

Jim Pennekamp

J. M. Roberts

Billy Graham

We've always needed God from the very beginning of this nation but today we need Him especially. We're facing a new kind of enemy. We're involved in a new kind of warfare and we need the help of the Spirit of God. The Bible's words are our hope. . . .

Jarvis Cocker

When I was in Pulp, I actively did more TV stuff because that was during the Great Britpop Wars, and it seemed important to prove that indie people could speak. That war doesn't exist anymore.

Rick Foster

Tom Scully sent an e-mail directing that we not respond to these requests and warning that the consequences of insubordination were extremely severe, ... I took that to mean that if I sent the responses, they would go ahead and fire me.

Joshua A. Norton

To Mr. Seward: It is my desire that, in case Maximillian will surrender, he be sent here a prisoner of war, but that in the event of his continuing the war, or refusing to surrender, then he be shot.

Martin Rees

To most people in the U.K., indeed throughout Western Europe, space exploration is primarily perceived as 'what NASA does'. This perception is - in many respects - a valid one. Superpower rivalry during the Cold War ramped up U.S. and Soviet space efforts to a scale that Western Europe had no motive to match.

Bill Brennan

We remain concerned for the health of the public, and again urge people to heed the signs the city posted warning them to stay out of waters that may be contaminated.

John Cohen

We're going to get a little break here and a slow warming trend.

Cindy Sheehan

We're going to do what we do all the time: gather together in peace. We're going to call for George Bush and the neo-cons not to invade Iran. That would be a mistake even worse than Iraq. Our children are sitting ducks in the Middle East; the people of Iran and Iraq would be sitting ducks. And I'm not even sure that this invasion won't lead to World War III. So it's something that we have to stop before it starts.

Greg Sweetser

We're going to end up with an OK, ho-hum weekend, whereas two days ago it was looking like another awesome, blockbuster weekend coming up.

Jennifer Zelmer

Ken Cassar

What's really interesting is that most online retailers have forward integration, whereas this seems like a backwards integration play. Barnes & Noble already has a direct relationship with the customer and now they're trying to get further into the supply chain,

Marian Salzman

What's intriguing is that part of the new masculinity, or M-ness, is man's recognition that he needs a woman. This realization comes, ironically, during the Era of Female Independence, a time when man can be replaced by boy toys, female lovers, abstinence, and even vibrators, ... Whereas men still need women, their traditional source of comfort and inspiration, women are increasingly less likely to feel the same about men. And that's changing everything about the rules of the game.

Chris Daly

The performances of the different offices are on opposite ends of the spectrum. In Fresno County we have what seems to be a near abdication of their responsibilities, whereas in Alameda County we see an office committed to protecting all residents in the county.

Gerard Butler
