Ed Stoppard

In the life of any actor or actress, there is inevitably a time when they will be eligible to act in a Tom Stoppard play.

Dawn Rogers

What's ironic is that when we found ourselves coming together on these rescues, none of us knew the other had been abused. We discovered our common bond only after we started caring for the animals.

O. Henry

Usually animals die within seven days after getting to that point.

Tim Adams

Working with groups like that and working with the rescues as well as adopting animals out is (how) we work to find these animals homes. The key to the whole overpopulation issue is spay/neuter, though. That's what it comes down to is we've got to really push the spay/neuter concept because that's what will begin to drop these numbers.

Doris Birnbaum

Working here, you fall in love with the animals and are always tempted to bring them home. But at our house, we've reached our limit.

Chogyam Trungpa

Magic is the total delight (appreciation) of chance

Chip Conley

I don't know about you, but I've saved cards that old high school flames wrote me as well as those that employees have written me over the years. The power of genuine, customized appreciation will never lose its value, even in a gloomy economy... in fact, it's probably what we're all thirsty for in this desert of a depression.

China Mieville

Old stories would tell how Weavers would kill each other over aesthetic disagreements, such as whether it was prettier to destroy an army of a thousand men or to leave it be, or whether a particular dandelion should or should not be plucked. For a Weaver, to think was to think aesthetically. To act--to Weave--was to bring about more pleasing patterns. They did not eat physical food: they seemed to subsist on the appreciation of beauty.

James Bailey

What he did in the artistic field is what a lot of Japan's top name manufacturers did in their field.

Susan Sontag

Unfortunately, moral beauty in art -- like physical beauty in a person -- is extremely perishable. It is nowhere so durable as artistic or intellectual beauty. Moral beauty has a tendency to decay very rapidly into sententiousness or untimeliness.

Sheri Miller

With the high percentage of Spanish speakers, we wanted these kids to have an artistic outlet, too.

Nicolas Cage

With my goal to make a family drama and also my artistic aspirations of doing things which are a bit edgy, I've gotten a really happy marriage in 'The Weather Man', ... Gore went outside the box and did something personal and artistic, but at the same time it hits all the right notes in terms of children that may be going through a divorce, or a husband and wife dealing with it in a way that's not Pollyanna or saccharine or B.S. I haven't made that many movies like it. I know I've never made a movie as individual as 'The Weather Man' in dealing with family issues.

Charles Rosen

Beethoven in c minor has come to symbolize his artistic character...where he seems to be most impatient of any compromise.

Robert Lantos

Where the Truth Lies' is a sophisticated and intelligently provocative film, ... The NC-17 rating will unfairly limit people's access to it because of the number of theaters in America which will not play an NC-17 rated film. This film stars some of the most talented actors in the movies today, is based on a popular mainstream novel and is written and directed by a filmmaker known for his artistic integrity and achievement. The film has not encountered this kind of restrictive rating anywhere else in the free world. Only in America will many be deprived of access to it.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

When you tell people you're a playwright, their eyes sort of glaze over. But when you say you write the 'Fantastic Four' or 'Spider-Man,' they perk up. It's a touchstone that has gained more credibility as artistic expression.

The beauty is, while you're working on chipping, you're also working on driving. This is because the bottoms of both swings - the area around impact - are identical.

Linda Johnson

What he looked for was parity and equality and respect, and I think that he did get. Now, the respect, yes, I don't know if we have the parity and the equality because there are still advertisers who don't think of Ebony. There are still advertisers who don't think of Jet. Where we have to go in and sell them and re-sell them constantly, constantly, but I think it's the respect of the white community, that's what he wanted. I want people to realize what he did for African-Americans; he gave us a face. He made people recognize the beauty in us, the intellect in us, and also the pride that we have.

Gene Anthony

We bought a real beauty parlor, with dryers and functioning water, and the whole bit. All the other elements, artistically, bring things into a whole.

Susan Sontag

Unfortunately, moral beauty in art -- like physical beauty in a person -- is extremely perishable. It is nowhere so durable as artistic or intellectual beauty. Moral beauty has a tendency to decay very rapidly into sententiousness or untimeliness.

Ken Miller

Even the strong hand the bold player conquers, as the skilled gambler heaps up his winnings at the proper time. Upon him that loves the game (the god), and does not spare his money, (the game, the god) verily bestows the delights of wealth.

Rich Tehrani

Each year Internet Telephony magazine bestows its Product of the Year awards on companies that have demonstrated excellence in technological advancement and application refinements.

Phyllis Schlafly

The snowflakes that grace us at Christmastime typify the artistic beauty that bestows joy on all ages but, like an acid, evolution corrodes this inborn appreciation of beauty and falsely trains children to view themselves as mere animals no more worthy than dogs or cats.

Granth Sahib

Those who are attuned to Truth, love the Truth. The Lord Himself bestows this gift; He shall not take it back.

David Brown

Eliud Nieves

We're so close to Florida Tech that you get the children of professors and students. We benefit from that.

Tony Long

We're going to start planning it two weeks after this one is over. Tom Glennon (director of the Georgia Children's Museum) has already come to me with the idea of a children's division, both films made by children and directed at children as an audience. We may even show them at the museum.

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.

Anne Sullivan

It's a great mistake, I think, to put children off with falsehoods and nonsense, when their growing powers of observation and discrimination excite in them a desire to know about things.

Anne Sullivan

Why, it is as easy to teach the name of an idea, if it is clearly formulated in the child's mind, as to teach the name of an object.

Kathie Pontus

What a great story to inspire our children of today. Not only can you be a resident of Union City and go on to win a Nobel Prize, but you shouldn't be defeated by the failing of a subject.

John Stossel

When we were scared about 9/11, we federalized the airport security, we spent millions for body armor for dogs in Ohio. All that over-reaction comes from fear and government - bad combination.

Rudi Zeif

We remain hopeful that there are living people among the missing that we can rescue. As we clear the beams we'll send dogs into the rubble to search for them.

Kathleen Winsor

The king appeared... with his dogs and sycophants behind him.

Tom Colvin

What has really been a great thing, we think, for the dogs and and community, is that these are dogs that would be difficult to place.

Rebecca Johnson

We found that being responsible for a pet, such as committing to walk a loaner dog, encouraged people who did not own dogs to walk more often and for longer periods.

Cheryl Conway

We had 10 to 15 in the lobby at any one time, but the dogs were very well behaved and their owners had them in control.

Kathy Russell

We are getting a renaissance downtown. We've got designer restaurants and designer dogs, and (people) would like to have a designer cup of coffee with their designer dog.

Richard Marshall

We're for people just controlling their dogs especially if they're in the habit of attacking people or other dogs.

Stephanie Shain

We applaud films that present the bond between dogs and their people. The downside is that people become so enamored by the character portrayed on screen that they want that dog in their home. They assume the breed is great without examining if it is the right match for their lifestyles.

Eugene Hutz

What we're making isn't folk music, but savage intellectualism. We speak a language of a new world community that understands cultures can relate. So people who still speak of nationalism and racism or what separates us, they are inadequate for this time. Evolution goes on.

Didier Lombard

What has changed is the pace of evolution.

Eric Lander

What makes evolution a scientific explanation is that it makes testable predictions. You only believe theories when they make non-obvious predictions that are confirmed by scientific evidence.

Stephane Simean

We're following the evolution of tennis. On the women's side, there has been a very positive change, with the arrival of many new stars.

Stephane Simean

We're following the evolution of tennis in general a little bit.

Charlize Theron

I can't live in a bubble and expect to come and work with Dior or go work on a movie and not have some kind of an evolution within myself and my own thought process and a passion about things or what's happening in the world. All of those things are the elements that make you who you are, and those are the things that sincerely come across in a photo or a commercial or in an interview. That's a constant thing for me.

Charles Sanders Peirce

All the evolution we know of proceeds from the vague to the definite.

Ed Breen

We believe that separation is a logical next step in Tyco's evolution.

Kurt Vonnegut

Evolution is so creative. That's how we got giraffes.

Henry David Thoreau

We falsely attribute to men a determined character -- putting together all their yesterdays -- and averaging them -- we presume we know them. Pity the man who has character to support -- it is worse than a large family -- he is the silent poor indeed.

Lorrie Moore

I've been falsely accused of drawing too much from real life. But I am a petty thief - I take little things. And, I mean, I can hardly write 10 words before I start to make things up. I start to invent, because that's what I want to do. I'm running away to an invented place.

Robert Casey

The advocates of abortion on demand falsely assume two things: that women must suffer if the lives of unborn children are legally protected; and that women can only attain equality by having the legal option of destroying their innocent offspring in the womb.

Richard Bliss

He feels he has lost his career as a field tech, ... The charges are still pending. He cannot travel internationally. He feels he lost his whole career because he was falsely accused as a spy.

Bible Bible

O Timothy, keep that which is committed to thy trust, avoiding profane and vain babblings, and oppositions of science falsely so called. (1 Timothy 6:20)

Sathya Baba

Man falsely imagines I am doing this , I am planning this . It is the supreme, all pervasive consciousness that motivates, unfolds the skills and operates the intellect.

Jim Harrick

Let me ask you something. What would you do if you were falsely accused? ... I'm fine, but I'm worried about my son. He's one of the finest assistant coaches in America, but he's been stigmatized. He has no job right now, but he's had two or three people tell him they would hire him if all this wasn't going on.

Michael Ramsey

Leaks like that to the press may cause people to be accused falsely in the papers. It's a despicable way to run a DA's office.

John Smoltz

The only way it?s bad for the game is if a guy is falsely accused. That?s bad. To be thought lesser than your talent, lesser than what you deserve to get credit for because of what somebody wrote, that?s the greatest travesty. That?s why you should hold onto people?s words as long as you can, until you absolutely know the truth.

John Powell

We cannot "psychologize" the grace of God. God's actions are outside and above our human sciences.

William Shakespeare

God mark thee to His grace! Thou was the prettiest babe that e'er I nursed. And might I live to see thee married once, I have my wish.

William Shakespeare

Angels and ministers of grace defend us.

William Shakespeare

He does it with better grace, but I do it more natural.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

As mercy is God's goodness confronting human misery and guilt, so grace is his goodness directed toward human debt and demerit.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Abounding sin is the terror of the world, but abounding grace is the hope of mankind.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Men may flee from the sunlight to dark and musty caves of the earth, but they cannot put out the sun. So men may in any dispensation despise the grace of God, but they cannot extinguish it.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

...revivals (or any other spiritual gifts and graces) come only to those who want them badly enough. It may be said without qualification that every man is as holy and as full of the Spirit as he wants to be. He may not be as full as he wishes he were, but he is most certainly as full as he wants to be.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

The cross is the lightning rod of grace that short-circuits God's wrath to Christ so that only the light of His love remains for believers.

Gene Robinson

What a joy it is to have you here,

Ernesto Zedillo

United we Mexicans greet you with joy and hope, ... We receive you with our hearts in our hands.

Julianne Balmain

Work life has taken over normal life, yet it's been stripped of humor, joy and pleasure.

David Jason

Working with Ronnie was always a joy and were without doubt some of the best years of my career. The world of entertainment has lost a huge talent.

Arthur Holly Compton

Life in the twentieth century undeniably has ... such richness, joy and adventure as were unknown to our ancestors except in their dreams.

William Shakespeare

How much better is it to weep at joy than to joy at weeping?

William Shakespeare

Good old grandsire ... we shall be joyful of thy company.

William Shakespeare

What is light, if Sylvia be not seen? What is joy if Sylvia be not by?

William Shakespeare

I wish you all the joy that you can wish.

Teller

To most people who have a point of view, merely being on TV is an intrinsic good.

Robert Faulkner

What they're doing is moving forward with the J&J process, which is at this point more official than the Boston Scientific process. Boston Scientific has not yet made an official offer for the company. They've merely proposed an offer.

Helen Rowland

What a man calls his ''conscience'' is merely the mental action that follows a sentimental reaction after too much wine or love.

Carolyn Maloney

What have we come to in this country? ... We are merely saying, 'let the laws in this country stand.' Let a woman be treated with dignity. When she has a prescription from her doctor, that privacy should be respected.

Paul Boyce

Units have been informed to stand by in anticipation of future requirements. That has happened throughout the southeastern United States. No word on numbers at this time, merely that a number of units have been given a standby heads-up.

Samuel Butler

Union may be strength, but it is mere blind brute strength unless wisely directed.

Alexander Yakovenko

Unfortunately mere visits to Skopje by high international representatives, discussions about inter-ethnic accord and admonitions to Albanian community leaders are not enough,

Judy Morgan

Years later, we added up the time we had spent together before we got married and discovered that it was only a mere 30 days or so. It worked for us, but I sure didn't recommend it to my children.

Kenneth Turan

With no plot, character or dialogue worth experiencing, let alone remembering, the film merely occupies space on the screen and hopes for the best,

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.'

Jim Owens

We're so early in the storm ... that the hometown companies only themselves are in the early stages of identifying where the damage is.

Neil Stern

What they've done is buy themselves some time. The challenge is, how long does it last? If you're still losing sales, those stores that are profitable today won't be profitable tomorrow.

Norman Ornstein

What they've done, at least, is to give themselves a little breathing room from what was going to be a really ugly confrontation, and one that was a complete lose-lose for Republicans, no matter what.

Liz Stubbs

What they're getting out of it may not be money but experience and a credit, which they can use to get themselves a better-paying position on their next film.

Peter Casey

What all these people had is a belief in themselves and a belief in their work and the perseverance to keep trying until they succeeded.

Marion Orr

What he has to do is convince statewide voters that as CEO of Baltimore he did a good job. O'Malley's challenge is to show that he's been an effective executive despite the challenges Baltimore obviously has. And voters are going to ask themselves what they think about the job he's done in Baltimore when they decide.

Eric Hoffman

We found that most consumers classified themselves as 'novices' or 'apprentices' when it comes to vehicle financing and admit to feeling uninformed when it comes to that process. Our mission at AWARE is to reach out to and be a resource for all Americans who are thinking about buying another vehicle.

Ryan Rosenberg

We found that a lot of people were using advanced scripting, multiple files and other advanced tools but don't think of themselves as professional developers. So we repositioned the product and added more stuff for customization--more tool tips and custom menus.

Roger Toussaint

Unless there is a substantial movement by the authority, trains and buses will come to a halt as of midnight tonight.

Neil Craig

We're being careful with him we'll see how he trains on Friday.

Dan Brucker

We're basically on time. This morning was anything but normal, with 60 trains delayed up to two hours.

O. Winston Link

I never expected that. I didn't aim for that. All I wanted was to get some nice pictures of trains at night.

Ella R. Bloor

I have always loved to sit in ferry and railroad stations and watch the people, to walk on crowded streets, just walk along among the people, and see their faces, to be among people on street cars and trains and boats.

Jason Chaffetz

Nearly 30 million people ride Amtrak each year, and they should board the trains knowing that safety is a paramount priority.

Chris Scanlen

One of the great things about what Dennis George (trainer) does, is that the dogs he trains and places all come from local shelters and pounds.

Christina Baker Kline

I was stunned to learn that more than 200,000 abandoned, neglected, or orphaned children had been sent from the East Coast to the Midwest on trains between 1854 and 1929.

Peter Carides

When two trains are approaching one another on the same track, and the track must be switched, it doesn't get any more critical than that.

Dick Lampman

We've always had a more pragmatic view of our business. You can describe our mission in two words: technology transfer.

Linda Lightfoot

When we were dealing with the paper world and you were allowed to see the file, you could view the ideas that went into policy development. E-mail is very easy to be lost, and it is a lot more difficult to follow.

Charles Thomson

We remain of the view that the PO inquiry is policyholders' best hope for government compensation, and whatever the outcome, the inquiry should bring independence and some finality to the question of regulatory maladministration.

Ian Shepherdson

We remain of the view that the Fed's near-term objective is simply to support the stock market until consumer and business sentiment improves,

Sherry Cooper

We remain of the view that next week's rate hike will not be the Fed's last work this cycle. Indeed, they will likely eventually unwind all of last fall's crisis-induced easing.

Phil Forest

We're spending more time on our computers. Even though television viewing is up, there is still a percentage that they're losing. If they put programs on the Internet, they can capture more of the audience. That's one of the key factors driving the networks.

Ignacio Bunye

We respect the views of the former general, appreciate his sense of nationalism and share his concerns about the plight of our people. But this quixotic declaration is pathetic and unfortunate.

Justin Martineau

We're going to the summit as students and community members to state our side and make our point of view known to the general community, seeing as the ONDCP isn't going to provide that perspective to the community.

Anne Finch

Did I, my lines intend for public view,How many censures, would their faults pursue,Some would, because such words they do affect,Cry they're insipid, empty, uncorrect.And many, have attained, dull and untaught,The name of wit, only by finding fault.True judges, might condemn their want of wit,And all might say, they're by a woman writ.

Bob Young

We reject the idea of rejection. We don't have some grizzled editor deciding who or what is worthy of publication. Lulu lets anyone publish their work -- and the world decides on its merits.

Maxfield Parrish

There are countless artists whose shoes I'm not worthy to polish - whose prints would not pay the printer! I'm beginning to doubt my judgment!

David Parry

We stopped for some plays that weren't worthy of being looked at.

William Shakespeare

He that loves to be flattered is worthy o' the flatterer.

Arthur Helps

To hear always, to think always, to learn always, it is thus that we live truly. He who aspires to nothing, who learns nothing, is not worthy of living.

Juvenal

Dare to do things worthy of imprisonment if you mean to be of consequence.

James E. Faust

What is worthy or unworthy on the Sabbath day will have to be judged by each of us by trying to be honest with the Lord. On the Sabbath day, we should do what we have to do and what we ought to do in an attitude of worshipfulness and then limit our other activities.

James E. Faust

I know with all my heart and soul that God lives. I believe He will enlighten our lives with His love for each of us if we strive to be worthy of that love, in the holy name of Jesus Christ, amen.

Lester B. Pearson

I cannot think of anything more difficult than to say something which would be worthy of this impressive and, for me, memorable occasion, and of the ideals and purposes which inspired the Nobel Peace Award.
