Acting Quotes
We applaud Senators Ensign and Byrd for winning this resounding victory for horses. Senate offices received thousands of calls from constituents who love horses, and we thank lawmakers for acting decisively to end the slaughter of these American icons and trusted companions. The identical language from the House and Senate should put this issue to rest and save tens of thousands of horses from a grim and painful end.

Agency Quotes
We always hope our federal bureaucracy is going to do a good job responding to the needs of Americans. The painful fact is, this is a bureaucratic process. Unfortunately, there are complaints all over the place out there about the speed with which the agency is dispensing with these claims.
-
Past Quotes
The mind, conditioned as it is by the past, always seeks to re-create what it knows and is familiar with. Even if it is painful, at least it is familiar. The mind always adheres to the known. The unknown is dangerous because it has no control over it. That's why the mind dislikes and ignores the present moment.

Accounts Quotes
Let's get back on that momentum boat, let's see if we can open our day-trading accounts again, ... But I can't help but think, where have you been for the past year? Haven't you learned anything? And wasn't it painful enough for you? Maybe we need some more pain, but I don't think we are going to get a lot more of it.

Beginning Quotes
'Lean on Pete' is the story of a boy and his horse, but it is never heart-warming - it ranges in tone from desperate to merely painful - and, while fascinating, it is never entertaining or redemptive. But if you want an unadorned portrait of American life (at least in some places) at the beginning of the 21st century, this is the book for you.

Found Quotes
So, I learn from my mistakes. It's a very painful way to learn, but without pain, the old saying is, there's no gain. I found that to be true in my life. You miss a lot of opportunities by making mistakes, but that's part of it: knowing that you're not shut out forever, and that there's a goal you still can reach.

Both Quotes
On a creative level, I'd like to bring both shows back. But we tried to launch two shows (during the summer), and our resources were spread too thin. As painful as it is, we thought we should pick one (to renew). It was a really difficult decision because I really think 'Starved' has a lot of potential.

Ancient Quotes
Negro poverty is not white poverty, ... Many of its causes and many of its cures are the same. But there are differences - deep, corrosive, obstinate differences, radiating painful roots into the community and into the family and the nature of the individual. These differences are not racial differences. They are solely and simply the consequence of ancient brutality, past injustice and present prejudice. They are anguishing to observe. For the negro they are a constant reminder of oppression.
-
Asserting Quotes
One of the most painful things in the Western States and Territories is the extinction of childhood. I have never seen any children - only debased imitations of men and women, cankered by greed and selfishness, and asserting and gaining complete independence of their parents at ten years old.

Affected Quotes
I was taught by my father, who could not read, that reading is the basis of all education. I learned this painful lesson as I watched him suffer through those simple tasks that all of us who can read take for granted. His inability to read affected every aspect of his life, and mine.

Aggression Quotes
Bullying is a national problem. Middle school seems to be the time that bullying (by males) and relational aggression (by females) is at its worst and is most painful for kids. While there are programs to help curb bullying, we're hoping to help teachers build character in fourth and fifth grade students to prevent bullying in middle school.
-
Capital Quotes
If someone were to say that life at hard labor is as painful as death and therefore equally cruel, I should reply that, taking all the unhappy moments of perpetual slavery together, it is perhaps even more painful, but these moments are spread out over a lifetime, and capital punishment exercises all its power in an instant.

Anyone Quotes
We've finished making unilateral, painful concessions. After the euphoria dies, the Palestinians will have to get down to taking real steps to show that they can stop terrorist activity. I would suggest to the Palestinians to hold your horses, because we are much stronger than we were when we sat in Gaza. So if anyone has illusions that this means they can force Israel into making further concessions under pressure of violence, they're in for a big surprise.

Crying Quotes
It is a huge trauma here, ... It's very upsetting and very painful for everybody. It's like this huge family fight. Every night the television is filled with images of people crying and soldiers crying. Even people who support disengagement, like me, aren't really sure if this is a good idea or not.
