We're going to go after the Hells Angels, not Ducks Unlimited. This idea that you can somehow create an atmosphere around people who are already respectful of the law and superimpose this blanket (handgun) ban as a solution -- a one size fits all, cookie-cutter approach -- is an absolute abysmal failure.

What a man believes upon grossly insufficient evidence is an index into his desires -- desires of which he himself is often unconscious. If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way.

Liberty of conscience from the power of the civil magistrate hath been of late years so largely and learnedly handled, that I shall need to be but brief in it; yet it is to be lamented, that few have walked answerably to this principle, each pleading it for themselves, but scarce allowing it to others, as hereafter I shall have occasion more at length to observe.

Custom is the principal magistrate of man's life.

What we're looking at in Seattle is a debate over the rules of the game and how the environment and labor will be treated -- whether they will be debated elsewhere or whether they will become part of the core discussions about trade.

We bought a small house in Boston and we got it set up and had everything perfectly arranged until we realized we really only had one seat in the house that had sufficient light for reading and every night there was a battle of who could race to this chair faster with a reading book and I was always losing being the smallest. So we really started a quest to look for an ultimate reading light.

We are getting the rubbish seats but come Thursday the other tickets will go on sale to the general public. It means they will be able to get the best seats.

We're going to make the best decision that doesn't put us at a competitive disadvantage with our sister institutions. I want to base it on what came here in 1999 when we were top 10 in the country.

Very few people know anything about this nominee's views about a wide range of subjects, ... This is a very important seat because it's a swing vote.

We're going to go and play the songs one more time. It seems like the right time, so I figure we'll go out and play a few gigs and see where it goes. I think we might just show up in assorted places in the U.S. in the next few months without much notice and play some clubs and little theaters, and then go to Europe and play these festival gigs. Beyond that, we don't know at this point.

Nicole Piggott

What we're seeing is an increase in the manufacturing sector, ... The manufacturing sector has been very weak for the last year and a half -- since the Asian (financial) crisis. Now, that sector seems to be recovering.

Lisa Willis

When we do our pre-game talk, we talk about certain people not liking pressure. But it seems like none of their players likes pressure.

Richard Wiseman

What his research seems to be saying is that women are the laughers and men get the laughs.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

One thing is certain: the call of Christ is always a promotion.

Any movement toward Christ is ascent, and any direction away from Him is down.

Jake Long

When we came back from the bowl game, we didn't reach our potential like we should have last year. Weight could have been a part of it, so all the coaches wanted us to drop weight, get stronger, get quicker. We definitely had the intensity to do that this year during winter.

Mark Mangino

When we didn't play him, he realized, 'They're not kidding. He cut his weight and finished the season strong.

Andy Coulombe

Tom Minkel

We wrestled a terrific dual as a team against Purdue, which is what we have been looking for all season. Everyone wrestled hard and we had some guys step up big at a few weight classes. Darren's match was really the marquee one of the dual, that is as good of a college match as I have seen in a while.

Stephen Horn

We found that 70 percent of these activities are still in progress, ... Yet even with the additional weight placed on these criteria, more than half of the 24 departments and agencies earned 'A's' this quarter.

Michael Franti

You get everything you could have ever wished for if you're willing to give that eternal bliss away to somebody else, to give it back.

Edmund Hillary

If I wished to do something, even if I couldn't find anyone who wanted to make the effort with me, I would go out solo climbing. I did find solo climbing very challenging and a little frightening.

Craig Fugate

We did not have enough product reach the areas in the timely manner that we wished to occur.

Delroy Lindo

Dave Peters

We always have a good time there and always make a point to come back. We wished we had the same kind of place when we were starting out.

It's a great thing to keep going.

Derek Jeter

I wouldn't change it for the world. Have there ever been days where I wished I was this or I wished I was that? ... No, It's always been a positive.
