Arthur Quotations

A little more than 30 years ago, Bernie Marcus, Arthur Blank, Pat Farrah and I got together and founded The Home Depot.

In Merlin, Arthur has a very loyal friend who keeps him on his toes. Arthur enjoys those challenges, and there is a lot of great banter between them. Meanwhile, in Arthur, Merlin has a friend he can really rely on. Merlin knows that when it comes the crunch, Arthur will always do the right thing.

Charles Pierce, Bea Arthur, and I were like a terrible little trio.

Because of the nature of King Arthur and the resonance he has, not only with within the U.K., but right around the world, I have found it a huge honour to play the part. I will look back on it very fondly and be very proud to have been King Arthur when I finally hang up the chain mail!

We had hoped to have been bringing you Arthur the Human Chameleon, but this afternoon, he crawled across a tartan rug and died of exhaustion.

I began writing poems when I was about eight, with a heavy assist from my mother. She read me Arthur Waley's translations and Whitman and Robinson Jeffers, who have been lifelong influences on me. My father read Keats to me, and then he read more Keats while I was lying on the sofa struggling with asthma.

The story is also about the battle between Arthur and the Saxons. The Saxons were destroying everything they came across and Arthur was left when Rome was falling because this movie takes place in 400 A.D.

King Arthur was one of my heroes - I played with a trash can lid for a knightly shield and my uncle's cane for the sword Excalibur.

And then, all of a sudden, you're like, all that's great and fun, but Arthur Miller's in my dressing room. This is the third night he's been here and he sits in my dressing room for an hour after each show, and talks to me for an hour. So I'm pretty spoiled right now.

The fact is Jerry Weintraub, the handsome, bearish movie producer, the man with the long career, who worked with Arthur Godfrey and Elvis Presley and Frank Sinatra and George Clooney, is a great storyteller - he's this as much as he's anything else. He takes time telling stories, too.

I got treated very badly in Texas. They don't treat beatniks too good in Texas. Port Arthur people thought I was a beatnik, though they'd never seen one and neither had I.

I played with Arthur Godfrey for about a year and a half.

Pretty much every society, every culture in the world has some version of the Arthur legend, so everybody knows it; certainly in the western world, everybody knows King Arthur, but nobody knows what happens next.

There is a sort of genre of optimistic science fiction that I like, and I don't think there is enough of. One of my favourites is a short story by Arthur C. Clarke, 'The City and the Stars.' It's set in this far future on Earth in this somewhat static society and trying to break out.

Master storytellers like Jeffrey Archer and Arthur Hailey use simple language. But they manage to grab the attention of the readers right from page one. I'll consider myself a good storyteller the day people believe it's OK to be late for work or postpone deadlines just to finish reading my book.

I worked on this Showtime series called 'Beggars and Choosers,' this was like 2000, and Bea Arthur guest-starred on our show. I always loved 'The Golden Girls,' and thought she was a supreme comedy actress, supreme actress period.

I am definitely flattered and humbled any time I can put my name in the same sentence as Arthur Ashe.

We expect to see significant damage to residential and commercial properties near and to the east of Rita's track. Fortunately, the heavy commercial and industrial areas of Port Arthur and Beaumont ù with their numerous refineries ù were to the left of the storm's track, where wind speeds are lower, so we do not expect to see significant structural damage to the refineries.

We're pretty positive and upbeat right now. We believe we played our best half of football last week against Arthur Hill.

My parents were wonderful people, but there were terrible rows between them, and at times I found the atmosphere at home unbearable. The Arthur Ransome books gave me an alternative childhood and the tools to escape.

I think I was surprised as anybody when I first got the call, because I've been an agent for 20 years, ... I was certainly intrigued and curious as to why me? But I'm glad I took the opportunity to meet with Arthur Blank and have that explained, or I wouldn't be sitting here.

I thought I'd heard most things that people want to bet on after 30 years in the business. But one asking literally to place a dead cert was unique. I'm glad Arthur has lost.

We are thrilled to start the Rock Center and feel privileged to have it begun by someone like Arthur Rock, whose life and work have been central in creating the Silicon Valley. Our goal, like Arthur's, is nothing less than to transform corporate governance in the United States and abroad. It is imperative to restore public trust in business and to do so in a way that fuels rather than impedes growth. The resources that can be brought to bear at Stanford--in law, business, economics, and engineering--will enable us to tackle problems in new ways. And with the help and participation of the business community itself, the Rock Center can and will become a source for problem solving, new thinking, and great scholarship in this most important of domains.

The outstanding challenges associated with managing electronic information assets have the potential to be devastating in terms of professional careers and even corporate reputations. Just look at the impact that deficient records management practices had at Arthur Andersen and Morgan Stanley.

When the Williams sisters came into tennis, there was so much rampant racism that it was unbelievable. When Arthur Ashe was playing the good game of tennis, he had to contend with nonsense. When Tiger Woods hit the professional golf ranks, he had dumb people talking about fried-chicken dinners and sitting watermelons out on the golf course.

While his death was not unexpected, it's a serious blow to the entire theatrical community in the United States and Pittsburgh in particular. August Wilson is one of the seminal figures of 20th century dramatic art. When we speak of Eugene O'Neill, Tennessee Williams and Arthur Miller, we will now add the name of August Wilson to that pantheon.

When Sir Arthur Conan Doyle conceived Sherlock Holmes, why didn't he give the famous consulting detective a few more quirks: a wooden leg, say, and an Oedipus complex? Well, Holmes didn't need many physical tics or personality disorders; the very concept of a consulting detective was still fresh and original in 1887.

The Witch of Blackbird Pond examines society's intolerance about those who differ, using a witch hunt as the main action of the play. This book stands out as a children's literature classic and we're proud to be able to present it. This material is powerful to young adults the way Arthur Miller's The Crucible is for adults.

Arthur Temple was easily the man of the century of East Texas. Arthur's leadership was far and away our most important guiding beacon. He led us away from harsh segregation.

Arthur Miller had hoped it would premiere in London and was so pleased the possibility was in the air that it would come to the Old Vic because he loved this theater. We want to see that particular dream of Miller's come true.

Arthur is my middle name; George is my dad's middle name.

Arthur is free to use that word censorship if he wants. We are in the business of selling paintings and art. And song lyrics are not our expertise.

Arthur is a great reporter. I am looking forward to welcoming him to (our) news team.

Arthur helps strengthen our bullpen, which is one of the areas we felt needed to be addressed.

Arthur has a point. We have to be careful that we don't have owners put perks on it to help decide where we play the Super Bowl. I don't think it's there yet.

Arthur Hamlin was running ball around the end. One of my teammates tripped. He was trying to keep from falling, but I thought he was grabbing at Arthur. I knocked him up in the air and he landed on his head. I was saying, 'Yeah I got you.' When he rolled over, I said, 'Oh my God! I blocked my own man.' It was so muddy, you couldn't tell.

It's time. Arthur played a couple of plays the other day, and he's going to be playing much more significantly this week. He's been in our program a long time. He's a very bright kid, he's an intense kid, he's a great team player, and now is his chance to go out and play some football.

It occurred to me the other day that Arthur Conan Doyle invented Sherlock Holmes, one of the great fictional embodiments of the rational deductive method - finding evidence, observation and all the rest of it. Conan Doyle himself was, however, a keen spiritualist, especially in later life, when he also fell for these ridiculous hoax photos of fairies at the bottom of the garden.

It's amazing, but the Aurora has never done Arthur Miller. They're mostly big casts, but 'The Price' has four actors and seemed right for us. I got Joy Carlin interested in directing, and we took it from there.

I want to remind the people in Port Arthur and Southeast Texas that as lawmakers, we are just as frustrated as they are about the special session. But I do think we have made substantial progress since the regular session.
