Ability Quotes
Habit allows us to go from 'before' to 'after,' to make life easier and better. Habit is notorious - and rightly so - for its ability to direct our actions, even against our will; but by mindfully shaping our habits, we can harness the power of mindlessness as a sweeping force for serenity, energy, and growth.

Armed Quotes
Nepal is in a double crisis ? the armed conflict and the conflict over democracy. By sweeping away democracy and stifling legitimate protest and dissent, the King is denying his people the democratic space they need to decide their future and to resolve the conflict peacefully. It is time for the international community to step up its response.

Bill Quotes
One thing that they all do have in common, though, is the effect that the state has had on it this year.

Agency Quotes
Revenue departments have many, many more sweeping powers than any other agency or private collections firm would have under fair debt collection laws. So now what you'll have is revenue agents who are used to using those broad powers going after people who owe court fines or student loans.

And I chose not to go that route.

Across Quotes
With the difficult struggle we are engaged in today, with the wave of anti-Semitism sweeping across Europe, we, who remember (the victims) every day, are obligated, as Jews and as human beings, to defend our home, the only home in the world where the Jews have the right and the strength to defend themselves by themselves.

Ball Quotes
Typically cities have core competencies that include things like sweeping streets and keeping neighborhoods safe. But building, running and maintaining a wireless network is a whole different ball game. We think that municipalities that are looking at offering wireless service to their citizens underscore the value proposition that we have in the marketplace.

Backup Quotes
We have a few more test days in the car since the last time we were at Watkins Glen, ... The car worked great on half of the track so the long course should be even better.

Amazing Quotes
It's an amazing thing, a big trend sweeping the country in so-called red states and college campuses, where students are becoming more conservative and more spiritual, but want to stay on top of the trends. The problem all these magazines have is that they get lost in the middle. If you're really spiritual and religious, you want the full dose. If not, you want the other extreme. Trying to have the middle road has never worked in the magazine publishing business.
