Elias Canetti

The great writers of aphorisms read as if they had all known each other well.

Arthur M. Schlesinger, Jr.

Santayana's aphorism must be reversed: too often it is those who can remember the past who are condemned to repeat it.

Neal Asher

It wasn't until I had been writing on and off for maybe ten years that I started to establish any kind of routine, thought I couldn't put a finger on an exact date, and this routine relates simply to the aphorism 'How do you eat an elephant? One bite at a time.'

Sorin Cerin

The societies of the futures, always searching for salves, will be so greedy to have this capital which is the man, that they will find all sorts of dirty ways to religiously or culturally brutify him and even severely punishing him if he would chose suicide or the ideology that shows the true path of salvation of the mankind through itself. Precisely because they will understand that the Man is the World and the World is the Man! This aphorism will be the one that will be in the foreground on the backgrounds tainted by all these murders of the money of this society which will be the antechamber of the society of the Sacred Self.

Anatole Broyard

An aphorism is a generalization of sorts, and our present-day writers seem more at home with the particular.

We remain fans of the local Las Vegas gaming market, which we believe is the best risk-adjusted market in gaming today, and we can't fault the company for deploying capital in these markets.

Mike Ryan

We're so dependent on foreign capital that, if you could see any weakness in the dollar it could come on Friday with the trade numbers. If we see a sharply above consensus reading for trade, there could be some concern about the sustainability of that trade gap and that could certainly weigh on the dollar.

Scott Parker

When we got a good offense going, we would lose it on defense. We couldn't capitalize when we would get a steal and run it down the floor. We're a Jekyll-and-Hyde team.

Jack Cassidy

We believe this property has the potential to achieve significant revenue growth through addressing deferred-maintenance issues, adding selective capital improvements and improving property-management operations.

Bill Dudley

What's really happened is technology has basically favored capital markets over depository institutions because it has reduced the cost of making transactions.

Richard Harris

What's interesting here is that you can see how the cost of operations continues to rise and debt obligations continue to rise, while capital improvements have gone down. Money has just not been available for those types of services.

Marc Touati

What we're seeing now is a total reverse in what everyone expected ahead of the euro debut; retailers understood that the euro would add new pressures for competitiveness, so they chose to push prices down to attract customers.

William Holmes

What he's done is disloyal to the Democratic Party, ... If a candidate wants to choose his own running mate and not accept the one chosen by the party, that's being disloyal. He's offending a majority of the people who voted for their choice as selectman at the primary.

Andrea Phillips

We both really wanted to go to London but I also wanted to go to Italy. My husband not being keen on Italy, we finally chose Paris because it's supposed to be such a romantic city and because we both already spoke a bit of French.

Jamie Trowbridge

Working with family complicates work in a good way, and it complicates it in ways that are confusing, but we've always chosen to do what's best for the business, not what's best for the family. It's tricky, but that's why it has lasted 70 years.

John Greenwood

We're frustrated. I think they've chosen to play hardball and it's unfortunate.

John Greenwood

We're frustrated, ... I think they've chosen to play hardball and it's unfortunate.

Art Garfunkel

Art Garfunkel

We're aware that it has resonance for the times, yes, ... But we chose it because it was the first hit we ever had, and it put sort of a bookend on our career.

Louis Gossett, Jr.

I was always told that I'd have to do a movie with a white guy in order to get the money. That's the way it was. That made me feel that I should have chosen some other profession, so I could have gotten my just deserts.

Steve LeBlanc

We feel a little sense of relief. The projected path now puts Galveston on the clean side as opposed to the dirty side.

Al McGuire

Charles M. Schulz

Exercise is a dirty word. Every time I hear it I wash my mouth out with chocolate.

Richard Patton

Hurricane Katrina brought the need for preparedness to the foreground in 2005. The Red Cross recognizes the need to take that to the next step, which is teaching people to care for themselves and others in a disaster.

Charles Stross

I tend to work on the principle that much humour relies on cognitive dissonance - on the foreground not matching the background, on the protagonist's response to a situation being inappropriate, and so on.

Kristin Spangenberg

One of the things you'll notice about the sky is that he's taken a horizontal format: Holland is flat. The sky is rarely depicted other than as a foil to all of the detail in the foreground and his horizon line is often very low.

Michael Graves

Architecture only does part of the work. How you fill the space matters just as much, sometimes more. I designed a beach house with a continuous living/dining area, but it had to have a table in the middle to give it a visual rhythm. Every room has a foreground and a background. But you also need a middle ground - like that table - to go between.

Martin Koopmann

At the chancellery, he is someone who never pushed himself into the foreground or sought the media spotlight but tried to get positions with consensus from the various ministries.

Sorin Cerin

The societies of the futures, always searching for salves, will be so greedy to have this capital which is the man, that they will find all sorts of dirty ways to religiously or culturally brutify him and even severely punishing him if he would chose suicide or the ideology that shows the true path of salvation of the mankind through itself. Precisely because they will understand that the Man is the World and the World is the Man! This aphorism will be the one that will be in the foreground on the backgrounds tainted by all these murders of the money of this society which will be the antechamber of the society of the Sacred Self.

Hjalmar Schacht

The very necessity of bringing our armament up to a certain level as rapidly as possible must place in the foreground the idea of as large returns as possible in foreign exchange and therewith the greatest possible assurance of raw material supplies, through exporting.

Donella Meadows

Every policy is shaped by two forces: background analysis and foreground politics. The political forces are loud, self-serving and, in the case of energy policy, well known.

Anthony Browne

As a child, I'd always liked cowboys and Indians stories where there were two layers - gruesome in the foreground but funny in the background.

Penny Junor

What makes life most difficult is the media intrusion, ... I think the public has gotten more and more greedy for the intimate details of their lives. These people are exposed to scrutiny 24 hours a day. We feel we have a right to know. We feel it's in the public interest. Even pop stars get more privacy. We just want to know every last detail. They are living in a goldfish bowl. And it never goes away.

LaDainian Tomlinson

We're motivated just on the schedule we have: having a tough schedule and wanting to prove to people that no matter if we have a tough schedule or not, we're a good football team, and we're going to win games. I share the record with Lenny now, and I'm not a greedy person. If we can win the game and I don't get a touchdown, I'll be fine with that.

Alan Alda

I'm greedy for that satisfaction of doing something hard and knowing that, even though I was afraid I couldn't do it, that somehow I can deliver.

E. F. Benson

The greedy man is he who habitually eats too much, knowing that he is injuring his bodily health thereby, and this is a vice to which not the gourmet but the gourmand is a slave.

Charlie Pierce

There is a lot in American politics (and in American life) that is angry, greedy, reckless and violent.

Mike Kitchen

When he first came, his play was OK and then it's dropped off of late. I think he's lost his confidence a little bit. He's got to shoot more. He's got to go to the net and be a little more greedy with the puck.

Juanes

When we decided to go to Cuba to perform, we did it because we just wanted to build a bridge, you know, between Cuba and the rest of the community. And we just wanted to prove that music and art need to be over all ideology or way to think life, and we just wanted to go in there and play just because of love.

Esam Omeish

What has protected our community far before 9/11 from extremism and violent ideology is that balanced mainstream advocacy of Islamic principles.

Dwight D. Eisenhower

We face a hostile ideology (communism): global in scope, atheistic in character, ruthless in purpose, and insidious in method

Bill O'Reilly

If you don't provide a product that is satisfying people, no matter what your ideology, they tell you to take a hike.

Kim Gordon

I'm kind of a sloppy feminist. Any ideology makes me a little nervous because there's some point where it doesn't allow for the complexity of things.

Kim Gordon

It's hard to get hot over a painting; there's no equivalent for teenage obsessiveness. Art obsession is ideology. Ideology can be made sexy, but it's easier in music.

Kim Jee-woon

America is a country that, even with all its flaws, has been able to flourish because there is a certain ideology about fighting for what you believe in. What you choose to believe in - no matter how small or big it is - is what you believe in, and that ideology has made America.

Kevin Spacey

There does seem to be in the U.S. now an ideology and an entrenchment that has stopped people doing what they are hired to do, which is govern rather than run for office the whole time.

Pope Benedict

Whenever totalitarian ideology crushes man underfoot, all humanity is seriously threatened.

Will Holman

We've asked management that question (when a new contract would be imposed) and they haven't given us an answer. It could be immediately or they could use it for additional leverage at the bargaining table.

Richard Foreman

We've always respected Israel's right to defend itself, including going after armed groups and armed men in some of these areas. But we've always said they need to do that in a manner which has the utmost care to avoid harm to civilians, particularly when they're conducting operations in heavily populated areas. And we've said that often results in tragedies and numerous deaths. And that appears to be what's happened again.

Dan Beck

We've always had an aggressive e-commerce strategy. Since our first Web site in 1994, we realized a Web site was more than just a corporate brochure. It had to be an advanced business tool providing everything companies need to design, print and manage their documents online.

When we were growing up, old man jenkins would never fail to come out every morning to nail tadpoles to a wheel, spin it around and around, like a wheel of fortune, and then say, "Tadpoles! Tadpoles is the winner!" We all thought he was crazy, but then, we had some growing up to do.

Stacy Adams

When I was manning these gates with the military, we had between 20 to 25 officers. But the normal operation for this management is 10 to 14.

Gerard Houllier

When I was manager (of Liverpool) in England the national team coach was much more understanding.

George Burley

When I was manager at Ipswich and Derby, if we took 3500 to away matches that was good. To take over 6000 is unbelievable. The fans appreciate the effort the players are putting in.

Steve-O

When I was a kid, I loved a heavy metal band called Motley Crue. I was thirteen when they came to my city, and I called every hotel in the Yellow Pages asking for a room by the name of their manager in hopes of meeting the band. After two or three hours of calling hotels, I got through, and the manager's brother answered the phone.

Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

Charles Macklin

The instinct of interest is the universal instinct of mankind.

Charles Edward Montague

If you are to love mankind, you must not expect too much from it.

Nathan Myhrvold

Mankind is not special by virtue of our address in the universe, or what spins around us, or because life originated here. Slowly, but surely, we've been compelled to renounce the comfort of these beliefs.

Carl Jung

Not nature, but the "genius of mankind," has knotted the hangman's noose with which it can execute itself at any moment.

Carl Jung

The unconscious is the unwritten history of mankind from time unrecorded.

Orlando Jones

With this hip-hop generation they think about who has gold teeth, instead of the destiny of mankind.

Bertrand Russell

Even in civilized mankind faint traces of monogamous instinct can be perceived.

Bertrand Russell

What science cannot tell us, mankind cannot know.

Bertrand Russell

Mankind has become so much one family that we cannot insure our own prosperity except by insuring that of everyone else.

Paul Jewell

We've asked again but with the price they're asking, it's silly money as they don't want to sell him.

Daron Malakian

When we were a club band, we always used to say, 'Man, if we ever see success, we'd like to open doors for other people, to push the boundaries and fully contribute something to art, to music, that is going to help it evolve instead of doing stuff for the sake of money or doing stuff for the sake of being popular.

Rev. Donaldson

When we went through it, we had nowhere to turn, no one to talk to who had a similar experience. Small, rural churches usually have no money and little or no insurance to rebuild. So we helped form an organization that gives guidance to pastors whose churches have burned.

Luis Suarez

When I was playing for Nacional in Montevideo, the players who lived outside the city would be given money by the club to get there and back on the bus.

Chelan Simmons

When I was little, I didn't know you got paid for acting. My parents put the money in the bank for me, but I just thought it was this fun thing that I was so excited to do. You got to be on the set and get a little bit of makeup and be on camera.

Ice Cube

When I was in N.W.A. and didn't get paid all the money I was owed, that's when the business side of showbiz hit me.

John Woo

When I was a kid I got so much help from the Church. When I was a kid, our family was so poor they couldn't afford me to go to school, so there was an American family that send the money to the church to support my school fees.

Stjepan Hauser

When I was a kid, I collected cactuses. I had hundreds of different kinds in my room. I was a weird child. Everyone was playing football, and I was collecting cactuses. I spent all my money on them. I had so many colors and shapes. I even gave them names.

Jonathan Potter

You don't lose money by appealing to fans.

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.

Jeff Bernard

We're somewhere along the path to open source. We will increasingly get there.

Sam Marasco

We would work on a path that would culminate when things stabilized.

Ken Perrotte

We would recommend against that based on the fact that it's in the direct flight path of military aircraft.

Yitzhak Rabin

What he did right now, pulling out of Gaza, is in the same path of my father's concept,

Jean Richter

What has puzzled us before seems less mysterious, and the crooked paths look straighter as we approach the end

Adam Ereli

We briefed him on our policy and our dealings and the state of play with North Korea, ... As a result of our discussions with Governor Richardson, I think we both share an interest in seeing North Korea make the right decision with regard to ending its nuclear program and choosing a path of reintegration with the international community.

Jacques Chirac

We believe you are on the right path and we have full confidence in you to continue your action, ... We know that the international effort will last for years to come, and France will fully play its part.

Christine McVie

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. Moreover, children who have never seen the inside of a classroom are precisely those that face the most acute poverty, and should be the prime target of the international community if it is at all serious about realizing the United Nation's Millennium Development Goals of halving extreme poverty by 2015.

Joel Klein

We stopped short of asking for enjoining the product precisely because we believe in creating options, not restricting them. We are not seeking to impose a recall.

Hector Tobar

I think, as journalists, we sometimes are afraid to enter into the emotional lives and the complications of the lives of the people we write about - we don't really have the space and the room to deal with those things. But as a novelist, that's precisely what you're writing about.

Brene Brown

Ironically, parenting is a shame and judgment minefield precisely because most of us are wading through uncertainty and self-doubt when it comes to raising our children.

William Kristol

Would any of his aides have the nerve to tell him that as Supreme Court jurists go, Gonzales would be mediocre - and not a solid bet to move the court in a constitutionalist direction? Would any of them have the nerve to explain to the president that a Gonzales nomination would utterly demoralize many of his supporters, who are sticking with him and his party, through troubles in Iraq and screw-ups with Hurricane Katrina, precisely because they want a few important things out of a Bush presidency - and one of these is a more conservative court?

Elliott Abrams

Turkey's solidarity with Hamas is not, of course, based on Arab nationalism, which as a non-Arab nation it does not support. It is instead based on a definition of the Mideast conflict as one between Jews and Muslims, precisely the position of Osama bin Laden and al Qaeda.

Elon Musk

With DNA, you have to be able to tell which genes are turned on or off. Current DNA sequencing cannot do that. The next generation of DNA sequencing needs to be able to do this. If somebody invents this, then we can start to very precisely identify cures for diseases.

Elizabeth Price

Anyone could be in the orchestra, or sports team, or arts club at my school. It was precisely the kind of inclusivity that now meets with a sort of scorn and derision as a prizes-for-all culture that generates only mediocrity. There's something so insulting about the idea that including lots of people means mediocrity.

Kate Thompson

What I do find enormously gratifying is the reviews my books get from the American press. They are so on the ball compared to anywhere else. It's so satisfying to get a review that conveys the reader understood precisely what I was trying to get at.

John Sullivan

With the meltdown of the Net and the rise in unemployment, we'll see a return to punishing job hoppers. That's mostly because when the power shifts back to human resources, HR people with no power seem to get off on deciding what is acceptable,

Khalil Gibran

What do the nationalists say about killers punishing murderers and thieves sentencing looters?

Doug Wilson

We are extremely pleased to extend Kyle's contract for three additional seasons, ... Kyle is a big, strong, punishing defenseman who is trending up in his career and he will continue to be one of our anchors on the back end.

Matt Baker

He's a big, punishing back who can get you those yards inside the red zone, and especially inside the 10.

Denny Leathers

He's been punishing the ball pretty good over the past five or six games, just line drives into the gaps. He got off to a relatively slow start and whether that was some tentativeness with his knee situation, I'm not sure. But he's been hitting his stride lately.

Stephen Waddell

CBC management is punishing these shows for a decline in ratings - a decline clearly brought on by its own brutal decision to lock out 5,000 professional workers last fall.

Lindy Ruff

I thought we got what we needed. We've gotten scoring chances out of them, they haven't been a liability when they've been on the ice, and they've had some punishing hits. Those guys have really served their purpose the last two games.

Lara Rhame

I think a lot of gloom still exists about the size of the deficit and the market is punishing the dollar for that.

David Brooks

It gave the offensive line the confidence they needed and they started getting better as the game went on. He's just a punishing runner. It hurts to tackle him. We don't get any negative yardage when he runs the ball because he is such a powerful runner.

Douglas Brinkley

What makes 'American Pie' so unusual is that it isn't a relic from the counterculture but a talisman, which, like a sacred river, keeps bringing joy to listeners everywhere. When 'American Pie' suddenly is played on a jukebox or radio, it's almost impossible not to sing along.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

With a sacred expectation, I look for God in ALL of the circumstances of my day.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Prayer is the most sacred occupation a person could engage in.

Chief Seattle

To us, the ashes of our ancestors are sacred and their resting place is hallowed ground.

Cheryl Richardson

Schedule a sacred date with yourself. You deserve time for your life.

Cheryl Strayed

It was my life — like all lives, mysterious and irrevocable and sacred. So very close, so very present, so very belonging to me. How wild it was, to let it be.

Charles Buck

Although it was in primitive times and differently called the Lord's day or Sunday, yet it was never denominated the Sabbath; a name constantly appropriate to Saturday, or the Seventh day both by sacred and ecclesiastical writers.

Charles Baudelaire

There is a word, in a verb, something sacred which forbids us from using it recklessly. To handle a language cunningly is to practice a kind of evocative sorcery.

Charles Frazier

Or maybe it is only that we are so habitually inattentive that when some rare but simple geometry grabs us by the shoulders and shakes us into consciousness, we call our response sacred.

Laryl Morrison

We bought all the furnishings and accessories for the bungalow before we actually closed on it. We shopped at all the home stores -- Home Goods, Tuesday Morning, Art Van -- as well as flea markets, estate sales and the Salvation Army.

Salvation Army

We bless this noble and patriotic approach and we call on all armed groups to join the Islamic Salvation Army in the truce and in a global reconciliation solution to end bloodshed in Algeria,

Aiden Wilson Tozer

When we are enjoying the conscious presence of God, we are fulfilling the tenets of our salvation.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

Many things about our salvation are beyond our comprehension, but not beyond our trust.

Charles Henry Parkhurst

Purpose, and to be thoroughly wedded to that purpose, is three quarters of salvation.

Max Weber

Homelessness is the fundamental idea of salvation in Jainism. It means the breaking off of all earthly relations, and therefore, above all, indifference to general impressions and avoidance of all worldly motives, the ceasing to act, to hope, to desire.

Kirk Cameron

What I would say is Jesus came to save lost sinners like you and me, and if Jesus Christ has a burning desire to seek and save the lost, then you should, too, if Christ is living within you. If you don't have a concern for the lost, then I am concerned about your salvation because the Holy Spirit wants the lost to come to Christ.

Bernard of Clairvaux

Love of Mary and devotion to her are a sure sign of obtaining eternal salvation.

Bernard of Clairvaux

To serve Mary is a mark of eternal salvation to come.

Prem Rawat

What we're looking for is happiness, and in all our searching who do we forget? Ourselves. Whatever the equation is that you have created, please include yourself in it, because without you, without your heart, without peace in your life, there can never be peace in the world.

Matt McGowan

We graduated our top five boys, too, so we're searching for people to replace those points.

David Campbell

We believe this technology may revolutionize the way people search for information. Instead of having to waste time searching for news or other important information on the Internet, our customized SIMS portals will search and retrieve exactly the information you and/or your company are interested in.

Jeremy Stoppelman

Yelp has been in this business since it really became something worth thinking about in 2004, when the transition started happening from the world of the Yellow Pages to the world of searching online for local information.

Mike Haley

We've all been up all night searching for these folks. We have a very intensive search going on,

B. R. Hayden

Until now, searching the Web has lacked the power of intuition, ... We have built an industry-compatible platform that marries computing algorithms and human thought, allowing users to access Jetpaks created by a social network of individuals who have found and created new online information.

Rick Jackson

We're still searching for our identity. We've got an entirely new team out there. We don't have a dominant pitcher. We don't have any home run hitters. We've got a little speed. But we've got to be able to run the bases and play a little small-ball to be successful.

Steve Peterson

We're still searching for our fifth and sixth man, but we're getting closer.

Bob Hofman

We're still searching for a little more balance offensively, but we're still evolving. Next weekend's games are huge, huge games.

Tom Slater

We've asked them repeatedly to produce a lease. A lease shows that there will be a continuity of care, that they'll be there, and not just on a month-to-month basis.

Gerard Way

We've always wanted to give something back to our fans, and to play the kind of shows we know they want to see, ... And we really think this tour is exactly that.

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've just about run out of space to store these tapes, but they've turned out be gems. 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.

Matt King

We've always gone to watch shows there. It's a very cool atmosphere.

Rocky Carroll

When I was a kid growing up, there might be 10 shows on the air that had been on for ten seasons or eleven seasons. 'Gunsmoke' ran for over twenty years.

Cooper Farris

We're going to need to show more intensity than we have in the past. Co-Lin is a better team than Jones and the split with Pearl River shows that.

Ian Robertson

We're going to gauge reaction to the 101EX and take the car to shows around the world.

Jason Schenker

What we're seeing is a lot stronger numbers than were anticipated, also with an upward revision in August and July. All of this bodes well for the economy and shows perhaps the economy was not as severely affected by the hurricanes as initially anticipated.

Kathleen Stephansen

What this, in conjunction with the April unemployment report, shows is stabilization in the labor market and timid improvement. By no means are we talking about a roaring improvement in the labor market.

Seth Shostak

Very few societies on Earth developed science as we know it today. On the other hand, the number is not zero - the Greeks, the Chinese, and the Maya did, among others. Once invented, science proved so useful that it spread like mold on a petri dish.

Maajid Nawaz

Societies should be judged by how they treat the weakest among them.

Kenneth L. Pike

It is also, I would guess, a universal that in all societies people value respectability granted to them.

Octavia E. Butler

Religion is everywhere. There are no human societies without it, whether they acknowledge it as a religion or not.

Eric Schmidt

Countries that have the Internet already are not going to turn it off. And so the power of freedom, the power of ideas will spread, and it will change those societies in very dramatic ways.

Jim Yong Kim

Institutionalized discrimination is bad for people and for societies. Widespread discrimination is also bad for economies. There is clear evidence that when societies enact laws that prevent productive people from fully participating in the workforce, economies suffer.

Wendy Kopp

Throughout history, when societies have been faced with big challenges, they've put their best people on them. During the Space Race, American and Russian scientists, engineers, astronauts and cosmonauts pushed the bounds of what was possible and landed men on the moon.

Thomas Pogge

By seeing the problem of poverty merely in terms of assistance, we overlook that our enormous economic advantage is deeply tainted by how it accumulated over the course of one historical process that has devastated the societies and cultures of four continents.

Tom McClintock

Free and civilized societies do not hold prisoners incommunicado.

John Battelle

When it broke out in the mid 1990s, the web was society's first at-scale digital artifact. It spread in orders of ten, first thousands, then millions, then hundreds of millions of pages - and on it went, to the billions it now encompasses.

John Clippinger

To move online security to the next level, there has to be fundamental resolve among consumers, government and business to quickly adopt a system where the individual has more control over how information about them is managed and shared. Our aim is to construct an open and widely accessible software framework that puts the individual at the centre of the identity management universe. With this framework in place, it will be easier for society to begin the migration to more secure online environments, where trusted networks can not only be easily formed, but effectively enforced. For in the end, security is not just technological, but social.

Jaime Pressly

We're making light of all the serious, politically correct stuff that society has created. Basically, Earl redeems himself (after) the mistakes he has made in judging people.

Kendrick Meek

Mrs. Parks' act of brave defiance rocked the foundation of American society and inspired generations of civil rights leaders and created a sense of hope for every American facing legal discrimination in this country.

Melinda Eash

What we're seeing right now is a new generation of teenagers, that as society changes, they're more comfortable in coming out. A lot of them are getting more support from their families.

What they've done here is incredible. They kept the Frank Lloyd Wright facade. And they kept a great number of guest rooms the same. They redid everything, of course, but when they built hotels in 1956 they built big guest rooms. They kept the concrete block and just put in the new retro stuff. Even when I was here the historical society was constantly visiting, wanting to know what we were doing and wanting to make sure we kept the place intact.

Vic Toews

What they say to me is that it is wrong that these individuals who have broken their obligations to society are now entitled to have the same voice in society.

Ludwig Mises

When we call a capitalist society a consumers' democracy we mean that the power to dispose of the means of production, which belongs to the entrepreneurs and capitalists, can only be acquired by means of the consumers' ballot, held daily in the marketplace.

Jane Lubchenco

What has become clear is that if society wants to avoid future disasters, it should do two things ? prevent even greater disruption to the climate system and prepare for the climate changes already set in motion. There is urgency on both fronts, reducing emissions and preparing to adapt.

Jerry Stanley

We respond to all sorts of calls: fire, rescue, assist, medical. I have a love for it.

Katie Featherston

I loved growing up and going to haunted houses and being scared. I loved watching 'The Exorcist,' 'Candyman' and all sorts of scary movies.

Karen Wagner

When we got to talking about this, I knew in my heart it could be done. This community has never let us down when there is something as important as air service. We've come through in all sorts of circumstances, and this Essential Air Service is just the last of those little hurdles we've had to overcome.

Jonathan Eunice

Web-services technology is complicated stuff. You've got all sorts of standards governing security , reliability, and message bundling, and there are 30 or 40 major specifications and standards involved as well as a couple hundred slightly more minor ones. In a considerable number of cases, you will have to learn many of these dialects and it's a bewildering array to learn indeed.

Chuck D.

We're exploring all sorts of options for waste. There's so much of it.

Edward Vogel

We're filled with all sorts of facts about things that have happened in our lives, and there's no seeming end to it.

Sean Whitcomb

We're getting all sorts of speculations on what set this guy off. There might not be any answers.

Lisa Gansky

The mobile Web, location-based services, inexpensive and pervasive mobile apps, and new sorts of opportunities to access cars, bikes, tools, talent, and more from our neighbors and colleagues will propel peer-to-peer access services into market.

Mohsin Hamid

Like many kids, I used to pretend all sorts of things. I would climb into a tree and imagine that I was on an island, that the grass below we was an ocean, that the leaves were the fins of sharks. Perhaps unlike many people, I never really stopped. I still have a childlike predisposition to fantasise and share my fantasies.

William Shakespeare

Then is it sin to rush into the secret house of death. Ere death dare come to us?

Al Alvarez

When neither high purpose nor the categorical imperatives of religion will do, the only argument against suicide is life itself. You pause and attend: the heart beats in your chest; outside, the trees are thick with new leaves, a swallow dips over them, the light moves, people are going about their business.

Mark Regev

We want to see maximum movement at the crossings, but that decision has to be weighed next to the very real security threats that there are, ... If we opened every crossing and there were a wave of suicide bombings, then we'd just have to close everything down again.

Chris Chocola

Guantanamo Bay houses enemy combatants ranging from terrorist trainers and recruiters to bomb makers, would-be suicide bombers, and terrorist financiers.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

It is dull enough to confuse the eye in following, pronounced enough to constantly irritate and provoke study, and when you follow the lame uncertain curves for a little distance they suddenly commit suicide—plunge off at outrageous angles, destroy themselves in unheard of contradictions.

Charlotte Perkins Gilman

When all usefulness is over, when one is assured of an unavoidable and imminent death, it is the simplest of human rights to choose a quick and easy death in place of a slow and horrible one.

Charlie Hunnam

It could be my downfall, but I don't think it is - Hollywood is run on perception, and if you stray off the path of what you want to do with your career, it's suicide

Charles Handy

The first step is to measure whatever can easily be measured. This is OK as far as it goes. The second step is to disregard that which can't be easily measured or to give it an arbitrary quantitative value. This is artificial and misleading. The third step is to presume that what can't be measured easily really isn't important. This is blindness. The fourth step is to say that what can't be easily measured really doesn't exist. This is suicide.

Charles Horton Cooley

One should never criticize his own work except in a fresh and hopeful mood. The self-criticism of a tired mind is suicide.

Michael Specter

When people say they prefer organic food, what they often seem to mean is they don't want their food tainted with pesticides and their meat shot full of hormones or antibiotics. Many object to the way a few companies - Monsanto is the most famous of them - control so many of the seeds we grow.

Pam Walker

The possibility for the process to be tainted is just too much.

Georges Bataille

Pleasure only starts once the worm has got into the fruit, to become delightful happiness must be tainted with poison.

Richard Shelby

The process of what happened and how it happened was very troubling, and I think it tainted the whole situation.

Thomas Pogge

By seeing the problem of poverty merely in terms of assistance, we overlook that our enormous economic advantage is deeply tainted by how it accumulated over the course of one historical process that has devastated the societies and cultures of four continents.

Gerald Schwartzbach

He was denied a fair jury; he was denied a fair trial. This is a man who, as a result of a tainted jury in this case, is being compared to O.J. Simpson ... We're talking about this man's legacy.

David Newhan

He made his own bed and now he has to lie in it. If he says he had tainted supplements, that's fine for him to claim. But at some point somebody has to come up positive and not have taken supplements.

Oliver Houston

He's got himself an extremely tainted asset - this is by no means over,

Aloe Blacc

People in the Middle East may consider the U.S. an evil hegemony that has tainted their culture, but when I look at the growth of racial and ethnic tolerance and understanding in my generation in the U.S., and see those sentiments make it around the world, it makes me feel proud.

Elvis Presley

When I was a child, ladies and gentleman, I was a dreamer. I read comic books, and I was the hero in the movie. So every dream I ever dreamed has come true a hundred times...I learned very early in life that: "Without a song, the day would never end; without a song, a man ain't got a friend; without a song, the road would never bed -- without a song." So I keep singing my song.

Jeff Gordon

Tony is a true American racer. You can put him in any car on any track, and he'll be fast. He's good on the short tracks, the intermediate tracks, the restrictor-plate tracks and the road courses.

Margaret Johnston

To my delight, instead of the usual unkempt, gum-chewing, tobacco-scented, tired and bored woman in a bad part of town, I was greeted by a lovely, clean, organized and educated lady with a deep and true love of children.

Don Nickles

What he said then is just as true today: We have to employ our talents, our technology, and all our capabilities toward building a defensive system.

Katie Simons

What has kept it current all these years is that it's so true to family relationships and the way we hurt the people who are closest to us.

Harry Curtis

We believe this transaction in the long run is great for shareholders because it gives Hilton a true international presence. There will be less consumer confusion and it will help build Hilton's global loyalty program and enhance their international development opportunities.

Rob Pratt

We believe this project is the first to provide pricing data on a very short time scale - approximately every five minutes - and the first to include the true costs of transmission and distribution within that price.

Carl Maria von Weber

What love is to man, music is to the arts and to mankind. Music is love itself - it is the purest, most ethereal language of passion, showing in a thousand ways all possible changes of color and feeling; and though true in only a single instance, it yet can be understood by thousands of men - who all feel differently.

Chris Peterson

What's more true today than it was last year is you have to offer a competitive price and a competitive home. I don't think anybody's going to stop what's in the pipeline. It's just going to be competitive and that's good for the consumer.

Mario Batali

When I was a cook and 24 years old... I read the kinds of books that were the inspiration to understanding the value of simplicity in cooking.

John Jones

You don't like to do that, because you like to set your finals on the basis of qualifying so your eight fastest kids will be running head-to-head (instead of strictly against the clock), but coaches understand that some things just have to be done.

Vince Carter

You don't know what to expect. The only way you can really understand it is just being in it.

Debbie Oliver

We're making a world of difference in a world of facial differences. Those of us who understand the journey...it's our responsibility to lead.

Clare Short

We remain concerned that refugees in Macedonia are being forced onto planes and buses. This is unacceptable. We understand Macedonian concerns and will provide support to Macedonia, provided it complies with international rights and norms in its treatment of refugees.

Ryan Sanchez

We're starting to click and understand the system.

Tim Whitehead

We respect the advantage it will be for them. We're not going in thinking it's just another game at a neutral site. We know we're up against it here. And we have a respect for the challenge. But we understand it can be done. We've done it.

Dennis Phillips

We're going to pay user fees for water and sewer and it's my understanding the burden of extension lines will be on the shoulders of the developers, not the city,

Kyle Herring

We're going to err on the side of caution. We're going to run this thing to ground and make sure we understand it.

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.

Mike Vrabel

When we went to the 4-3, I thought we gave them some problems. We're going to make changes every week on the fly. We've got a lot of different ways of being aggressive.

Trevor Sinclair

When I was injured I could see all the ways that Stuart was motivating the other players and the techniques he was using. I just wanted to be a part of it.

Harry Shum, Jr.

When it comes to acting, you really have to create movement which in some ways is dancing. And dancing, I feel is very important to act as well. I wouldn't put one over the other.

Jason Lamb

We're making good progress, but we have a ways to go. We are making fewer mistakes, the guys are really hustling and we are getting more confidence.

Mayor Mayans

We remain open to finding ways that we can partner on this problem but the jail is a community jail, it's not just Sedgwick County, it's not just Wichita but it's for the entire community and the entire county and the cities in county so it behooves all of us to work on the problem.

Billy Hunter

We remain convinced that the NBA does not have the right to unilaterally create new ways to punish teams that want to improve by spending on player salaries. The effect of this decision is to continue to undermine player confidence in the NBA's administration of our collective bargaining agreement.
