Smith Quotations

The principle of plural marriage was revealed to the Mormons amid much secrecy. Dark clouds hovered over the church in the early 1840s, after rumors spread that its founder, Joseph Smith, had taken up the practice of polygamy. While denying the charge in public, by 1843 Smith had shared a revelation with his closest disciples.

Smith and Carlos aside, I object to using the Olympic awards stand to make a political statement.

People say, 'What if your name was Niki Smith?' Well, if Niki Smith lived the life I've lived, it would have great bearing.

After The Ventures I dug Johnny Smith quite a bit.

Bob Smith from Brooklyn is a guy who sometimes gets hung with problems and fears. Wolfman Jack is a happy-go-lucky guy who knows how to party.

In 1990, Paul Smith and I decided that conducting polymers as materials had developed to a level of maturity that commercial products were possible. With this as a goal, we founded UNLAX Corporation.

Will Smith is the biggest movie star I've ever met, and he couldn't be more gracious.

'A Tree Grows in Brooklyn' by Betty Smith is one of my favorites. Even though it doesn't have any monsters or crazy fantasy in it, it's such a raw story, and I can really relate to the characters. I think it's a beautiful story.

I had my guitar at the set of 'Lost in Space' every day. I was the only one in the cast who had a stereo in his dressing room. So while I was in school or when I was in there working with Dr. Smith and the robot, half the rest of the cast was in my trailer listening to their records that they would bring.

Ask me not, 'Are you rightwing,' but ask me 'Are you a committed believer in individual freedom, the values of the enlightenment?' Then, yeah, if being rightwing means believing Adam Smith was right, both in the 'Wealth of Nations' and the 'Theory of Moral Sentiments,' then I'm rightwing.

Early economic theory was rooted in the Italian, French, and Spanish traditions, which were subjectivist oriented. Then it shifted onto the terrible path by Smith and Ricardo and the British classical tradition, which is 'objectivist' - values are in inherent in production.

With Dick Smith there, and the words of Peter Shaffer... they've got to be the most beautiful descriptions in music ever written on film or in literature. And we could hear the music accompanying the words... What more can you ask for?

The Will Smith that you see in movies is exactly the same as Will Smith in real life. Except for when he plays a superhero, because the real Will Smith can't fly. He can only hover.

I met Chad Smith of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. I'm not really star struck by actors, but musicians, that's when I get star struck. Chad Smith is my number one drum influence, so that was a real mind-blow. I spoke to him - proper English, thank God!

I am grateful that early in my life I was blessed with a simple faith that Joseph Smith was a prophet of God, that he saw God the Father and His Son, Jesus Christ, in a vision. He translated the Book of Mormon by the gift and power of God. That testimony has been confirmed to me over and over again.

Starting on February 1, 2010, and running through until May 30, I will be Toronto Public Library's Writer in Residence, working out of the Merril Collection of Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Speculation at the Lillian H. Smith branch at College and Spadina.

When the waif look first came into fashion, Anna Nicole Smith was in the Guess campaigns looking like a real woman. A girl who looks too thin and unhealthy does not look sexy to me, and she does not look right for Guess.

I think money is essential to happiness and right now I wouldn't want to be anyone other than Wilbur Smith - I've had a fantastic life, rewarded far more heavily than I deserve. Maybe I'd like to be J. K. Rowling, but I'll settle for second best.

Obviously, when you walk into a room and see people like Ashley Judd and Morgan Freeman and Charles Martin Smith behind the camera, it's big time. You just try not to think about it, try and keep up, hold on for the ride.

Healthy debate has been replaced by automatic sensors that eliminate the need for actual talking during a filibuster - a la 'Mr. Smith Goes to Washington.' Robust debate is necessary in a democratic society. Instead, our discourse has been relegated to media spin by expert entertainers.

I was very aware of performers who have a persona, whether it's Siouxsie Sioux or Patti Smith or Lydia Lunch, and I'm just this middle-class girl coming from a more conventional upbringing, this California person. But in a way I felt like it's important to represent the normal.

There is more for women in terms of character roles now. Judi Dench and Maggie Smith have constantly changed over the years and challenged themselves with different roles. That's impressive.

I was sent there by the Free Congress Committee, headed by Paul Weyrich. Fred Smith and I were sent down as observers, with reporters' credentials, so we could witness the events.

I like writers who seem to write because they have to. You get the feeling of this burning desire to tell a story. I find it in Peter Carey, Nicola Barker, Ali Smith and David Foster Wallace.

In politics, Joseph Smith was something of a radical. He preached, instead of democracy, a version of theocratic rule within a framework given by his own prophetic leadership. At Nauvoo, Smith affected a Napoleonic uniform and made himself into a general and quasi king of the polity he had constituted.

At 18, I guarded the parking lot at the Catholic Church bingos. Now, my dad made sure I could take care of myself. I carried a Smith and Wesson .357 Magnum - that gun weighed more than I did!

I admire the work of brilliant actresses such as Judi Dench, Maggie Smith and Helen Mirren, who have had such varied careers. They have never stopped working, and they are as great today as they ever were.

In 1979, the Supreme Court ruled 5-3 in Smith v. Maryland that a few days' worth of phone records for a single individual were not protected by the Fourth Amendment. The NSA today, though, collects hundreds of millions of phone records from hundreds of millions of Americans without an individualized warrant.

Will Smith is one of my favorite actors, and he's also a triple threat. He successfully crossed over from music into acting. Also, I liked 'I Am Legend' because it was so unexpected. The movie wasn't what I thought it'd turn out to be.

For those whose faith has faded, the reasons may be real to them, but these reasons do not change the reality of what Joseph Smith restored.

I believe that the appearance of God the Father and His Son, the Lord Jesus Christ, in 1820 to Joseph Smith unlocked the heavens not only to the great spiritual knowledge revealed in this dispensation but also to secular knowledge.

I submit that in the few minutes that Joseph Smith was with the Father and the Son, he learned more of the nature of God the Eternal Father and the risen Lord than all the learned minds in all their discussions through all centuries of time.

The Prophet Joseph Smith lived in troubled times.

The point is, am I going to let Mary Smith and these other nice, older women be sent out of here thinking they'll have a voucher for the rest of their lives, when Congress is looking to cut the program? They're going to be in Miami somewhere, and they'll be homeless. That's why the fight is going on.

Unquestionably, Kyle Smith will be one of the best players I've ever coached. Even more importantly, he's a better human being.

We struggled defensively early, but the one stable factor that came back to us is our run defense. It's obvious that Alvin Smith and Henry Anderson and Trent Bray and Keith Ellison played big, big roles for us in that area.

When you think about such fine actors as Maggie Smith or Michael Gambon, they do all mediums. I think it would be quite sad and a bit dull just to have to stick to one. I like all of them.

We believe that everyone executing the leasing and financing documents thought they were acting under the authority to execute those documents. We are conducting our own inquiries into whether those parties had the proper authority to take those actions. It is apparent that Mr. Smith did not act unilaterally, but was acting in concert with officials in the county. We are working to resolve this matter right away with all parties, including National City Bank and Butler County.

While loyalists and defectors overall said John Smith did a better job of standing up for Labour's values, they put Blair ahead on representing the whole country, appealing beyond traditional Labour voters and offering strong, competent leadership; switchers to the Tories gave him a clear lead in all categories.

Watch out for Missouri. Brad Smith -- he?s that good a player.

Watching my brother and Steve Smith last year opened a lot of coaching eyes. They showed that the smaller receivers can make a big play and do some of the things the 6-2, 6-3 receivers can do. In the past, everyone wanted a big receiver. But small receivers can get the job done also.

When I was a college coach, my dream was to play against Coach Smith in the finals of the NCAA. I always felt it would be a win-win, and I could probably say the same thing for (playing against) Pop.

We remain hopeful that Glock and other manufacturers will follow Smith & Wesson's lead,

What he says is careful and correct. The most important fact is that Rod Smith is the only Democrat in this race who has taken not only one, but two seats from Republicans.

We believe we're doing things the right way and in Steve McClaren we believe we have the manager who can deliver. There are good reasons why he was taken on by Jim Smith and Sir Alex Ferguson and why he's Sven-Goran Eriksson's No 2.

Working with Will Smith was one of the highlights of my career. He is so talented and has a tremendous work ethic. We are still friends, and I reach out to him and his partner to pitch ideas. He loves my mother. In fact, my mother was his son Jaden's acting coach for the movie 'Pursuit of Happiness.'

We knew what kind of shooter Smith was. That was no surprise to us. He made some unbelievable long-range shots with a hand in his face. And Carter hurt us in the first half. We allowed him to catch the ball in good position. We didn't play him properly.

We knew they were going to throw to them. But the bottom line is we had to force someone other than Brad Smith to beat us. We did that in the first half. We didn't in the second half.

Whenever Steve Smith steps on the basketball court, he's the focal point. Everything starts with him. I think the guards played very well off of him and that allows them to be even better players. The nice part about Steve Smith as a player is that he doesn't force the action. Very rarely does he take bad shots. He lets the game come to him.

This race between Dick Swett and Bob Smith is hot and tight as a too-small bathing suit on a too-long car ride back from the beach.

The only person who had any control was Jonathan Harris. His character was so flamboyant that he was able to make things happen. My character was fairly one-dimensional, so I had my relationship with Dr. Smith and with the family.

When your confidence is down the last thing you want to do is scream at the players too much. But we were playing tentative and (associate head coach) Barry Smith and I had to get on them a little bit. We were on our heels, and championship teams play on their toes, not on their heels.

When I come to Chicago, I gorge myself. I get off the plane and start with Gene and Jude's for two hot dogs with everything, swing by The Fudge Pot for a taffy apple and a turtle, chocolate clusters at Sarah's Pastries and Candies and steak at Smith and Wollensky. I find time for Gino's pizza within the next 12 hours.

We won't have battery police. We're not going door to door to determine if Joe Smith is throwing away two batteries.

Luke Smith is a really good player and they have some of the same balance that we do. They have some size, a good bench and some guys who can shoot it. And they play really good pressure defense.

Lots of people in the area have expressed interest to us in having commercial service (at Smith Reynolds) again.

Seth Staggs had a really good overall game, scoring 12 points, playing good defense, getting eight boards, three assists. Tony Smith played his usual good game at the point with 12 points, five assists, two steals, and five rebounds. We spread the ball nicely. We had four guys between nine and 19 points.

Senator Smith would do well to act as we did and read the decision before commenting on it. As with other 'statutory construction' rulings, this decision leaves Congress itself free to decide what its laws mean.

Sen. Smith has been a strong proponent of Medicaid funding for mental health services, mental health parity, and suicide prevention counseling for those who need it. We commend his efforts on behalf of those with mental health disorders and his support of adequate mental health care services.

She was electrifying. It was like she was channeling Bessie Smith or something.

On any given day one of those three are going to be second. I was real pleased the way Charles Myers ran right with them today. Tim Smith was there too. I hate losing those seniors, but next year we'll have Tim Smith and freshman Steven Reynolds.

Mike Smith played a wonderful game. He gave a gallant effort the whole night.

Mrs. Scheele, Mr. Smith and Mrs. Paul got together and thought it up.

Mr. Smith was the first person in the door, so to speak,

Mr Smith brings all the skills and talents required for this important and sensitive work.

Of course, it's been 32 years since she's had Buster, but that's how long she's been depressed about him. All kinds of horrible things ensue. I do, at one point, let my car roll into the lake with Buster in it ? like Susan Smith did with her children.

(Monday) night we struggled real bad without Josh Smith in the lineup, but we stick him back in there and we saw exactly what he can do and what he means to our team.

My favorite actors are Matt Damon and Leonardo DiCaprio and Will Smith - guys like that.

Portfolio manager Bob Smith has been in charge since 1997 and is a very smart, capable investor who won't throw caution to the wind,

On one show before a live audience, I had to look out the door and call for Will Smith to come in. The audience couldn't see him, but there he was with his naked butt staring me in the face. I didn't normally hang out with twenty-something practical jokers, so sometimes he was a little much.

I would argue that William Smith turned a lot of things on their head with this map, which was a hugely important and profound development,

If we had Musa Smith and Chester Taylor in 2001, we might have gone back to the Super Bowl.

I got my ears pierced when I was 12. I looked up to my older cousin, and he had earrings. Will Smith on 'The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air' had the left earring. So I started with the left earring, and then two years later, I got the other one pierced.

I did not use my position on P&Z to better my company. And the only money I can ever remember receiving from Smith County was for jury duty. I think we all know there are very strict regulations on conflicts of interest. I don't intend to become county judge just so I can bid on county work.

I don't know who Mr Des Smith is. He doesn't speak with any authority for the Government at all.

I am thrilled to have Kevin Smith as both an actor in Southland Tales as well as having his involvement in the prequel graphic novels for Southland Tales. The novels will give the die-hard fans more of an understanding of the back-story leading up the film's theatrical release.

But Dr. Smith says, and I believe it to be a true state of the case, that he himself gave a course of Lectures in Natural Philosophy, during the same winter, and that the money raised by them was also applied towards paying for the Orrery.

I felt like Craig Smith was running at me and someone was going to have a better shot than I did. Should I have taken the shot? Maybe, I don't know that. We all makes mistakes, and that's a mistake I made. I have to live with it.

I firmly believe that Sunil and his co-selectors have chosen wisely in making their choices and have given Graeme Smith and Shaun Pollock an enviable number of options to cover all match circumstances.

If Brenda had ever done anything wrong, Smith would have brought her up on charges and then drummed her out of the Air Force.

Given some of the advantages Davis had at the start of the race - the better name recognition and being from a bigger media market and being a U.S. Rep. and Smith being hampered by fundraising for almost a month - If I was Smith I'd be pretty happy with where I was.

Give Carolina credit. They wanted it more than we did. We tried to keep Steve Smith contained. We were unable to do that. He made a couple of big plays.

Getting Smith was a major move for Detroit. She's a great player. But we can't get caught up worrying about what other teams are doing. We have to win games. That's it.

(Former North Carolina coach) Dean Smith said that any team can play one great basketball game once a year. It's about time for us to do that.

From that moment on my relationship with Smith became very frosty,

Go back to Walter Payton and Emmitt Smith and those guys. They weren't 230- or 240-pound backs, but they did it every week. So I'm thinking, why can't I do it? ... In due time, we'll find out.

He went and got the cleats, but coach Smith said we had to go. I don't know if I could have covered him, but he would have had to cover me, too. But he was pretty cool. We kept joking a lot.

He identified with Perry Smith. Perry Smith had a terrible childhood. Perry's was much worse than Truman's. Perry was really, really miserable. Truman's was just really miserable. But the loneliness--both of them shared this loneliness.
