Crime is a fact of the human species, a fact of that species alone, but

it is above all the secret aspect, impenetrable and hidden. Crime hides, and by far the most terrifying things are those which elude us.

federal level, folks at the state level, or folks in the private industry, we've done many great things, especially since 9/11. Mike Johanns Of course it looks bad when you're not executing.

Francis Beaumont The disposition of all power is to abuses, nor does it at all mend the matter that its possessors are a majority. James F. Cooper

There is something really mysterious about lions. They could rip you apart if they wanted

to, but at the same time they look so cuddly. Can you imagine what humans look like to animals? They must think we're so weird.

Arthur Hertzberg Son, always tell the truth. Then you'll never have to remember what you said the last time. Sam Rayburn

In the early 1990s, when a lot of the developing world opened up to international

capital flows... they ended up in very good long-term projects, but projects that weren't going to pay off for five or 10 or 20 years. Jeffrey Sachs Life's to short for chess.

Eddie Vedder Cards are war, in disguise of a sport. Charles Lamb

When I got to 40 or so... I had the sense when I looked back

over my life I would actually see a mess of decisions, a few of which I had thought about, some of which I had sort of stumbled on, and many that I had no control over whatsoever. Kazuo Ishiguro I had to figure out how to bring the world into my work. Barbara Kruger God is love. I have loved. Therefore, I will go to heaven.

Any time the United States government turns over an American citizen, including military personnel, to

the government of another country, it is in our nature to want to make sure that they receive the best treatment, the fairest treatment, and the most humane treatment.

We've taken the view that if the rest of the world would democratize and create

market economies, that would spread the benefits of prosperity around the world, and that it would enhance our own prosperity, and our own stability and security, as well.

Avicenna It takes patience to appreciate domestic bliss; volatile spirits prefer unhappiness. George Santayana Thou hast created me not from necessity but from grace. Solomon Ibn Gabirol

Cutting up fowl to predict the future is, if done honestly and with as little

interpretation as possible, a kind of randomization. But chicken guts are hard to read and invite flights of fancy or corruption. Ian Hacking A representative is free delivery; she's a personal beauty consultant. Some people want that high touch. Andrea Jung We must do more to protect our neighborhoods and give integrity to our community plans. Alan Autry My mom said the only reason men are alive is for lawn care and vehicle maintenance. Tim Allen The music is fun and all that, but first and foremost it is a business, it's about money. Steve Brown I just never fantasized about Mr. Rogers, but I like his whole vibe. Catherine Keener If I have done the public any service, it is due to my patient thought. Isaac Newton

You can search throughout the entire universe for someone who is more deserving of your

love and affection than you are yourself, and that person is not to be found anywhere. You yourself, as much as anybody in the entire universe deserve your love and affection.

English is necessary as at present original works of science are in English. I believe

Will Rogers Wit is the lowest form of humor. Alexander Pope All politics are based on the indifference of the majority. James Reston You can't create a monster, then whine when it stomps on a few buildings. Yeardley Smith

Kind thoughts are rarer than either kind words or deeds. They imply a great deal

of thinking about others. This in itself is rare. But they also imply a great deal of thinking about others without the thoughts being criticisms. This is rarer still.

Penelope Lively I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that's what was good about it. Betty Cuthbert

Socrates Chris and Toby are far too sane to be upset any more. Maggie Smith Earth took her shining station as a star, In Heaven's dark hall, high up the crowd of worlds. Christian Nestell Bovee

Then, as the day progresses, depending on how the product is coming in - for

instance, the fish man will fax us and say black bass is great - throughout the day, we'll also make judgment calls and adapt to what's available. Thomas Keller Beauty is the bait which with delight allures man to enlarge his kind. Socrates By the time I was five, I was a little diva. Stevie Nicks I finally moved out of my parent's house.

Richard McCabe Any art communicates what you're in the mood to receive. Larry Rivers Nothing induces me to read a novel except when I have to make money by writing about it. I detest them. Virginia Woolf

Our dreams are firsthand creations, rather than residues of waking life. We have the capacity

for infinite creativity; at least while dreaming, we partake of the power of the Spirit, the infinite Godhead that creates the cosmos.

Maxim Gorky If football taught me anything about business, it is that you win the game one play at a time. Fran Tarkenton Composing is my life blood.

make them good and funny and a happy experience. But my feeling towards the fans is that they delivered me from darkness. Tom Baker Allow children to be happy in their own way, for what better way will they find? Samuel Johnson I am a shocker. I like to create controversy. It's my trademark.

Mike Davidson SDC has a great reputation for putting live music on stage. Graeme Murphy

I always like to reveal the fact that the emperor has no clothes. And children

are best at that. They teach us how to see the world in that sense. They are without artifice; they see it for what it is. I am drawn to that ruthless honesty. Mira Nair What broke in a man when he could bring himself to kill another? Alan Paton A single conversation across the table with a wise man is better than ten years mere study of books. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow You never ask why you've been fired because if you do, they're liable to tell you. Jerry Coleman On the last analysis, then, love is life. Love never faileth and life never faileth so long as there is love. Henry Drummond A young man is a theory, an old man is a fact. E. W. Howe I have competed before empty stadiums a lot in my career. Bill Toomey

We're going to be focusing our science on things that will take us farther and

longer into space. For many of those experiments, the crew members are human guinea pigs, which is fine; that's part of my job. I don't mind being a human guinea pig. John L.

When I start getting close to the end of a novel, something registers in the

back of my mind for the next novel, so that I usually don't write, or take notes. And I certainly don't begin. I just allow things to percolate for a while.

Nicholas Johnson Our country is blessed with a democratic political system that is sensitive to the wishes of our people. Denzil Douglas Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. Dorothea Lange Now I am obsessed with collecting Platypus paraphernalia. Trevor Dunn Once Miramax gets involved, if they like your movie, there's a big machine that gets involved. Tom Wilkinson I don't think Bill is a role model for anyone. Gennifer Flowers

A lot of actors just do whatever they do, and wherever the camera is, it

is. They don't pay much attention, but I always did. I was always very close to the camera crew. They were my best buddies, no matter what movie or show I was doing. Donna Mills If you have Darwin, Christ and Nietzsche, they're all going to talk at once. You need somebody who listens. David Duchovny When you win a race like this the feeling is very, very good. Alain Prost Conscience is a man's compass. Vincent Van Gogh Society is always taken by surprise at any new example of common sense. Ralph Waldo Emerson Don't be afraid to give up the good to go for the great. John D. Rockefeller I love a man who can wear my underwear. Yasmine Bleeth

I just want to make a point that it's not just great teachers that sometimes

shape your life. Sometimes it's the absence of great teachers that shapes your life and being ignored can be just as good for a person as being lauded. Julia Roberts If there is technological advance without social advance, there is, almost automatically, an increase in human misery. Michael Harrington Happiness never lays its finger on its pulse. Adam Smith To refuse graciously is to confer a favor. Publilius Syrus Like what you do, if you don't like it, do something else. Will Harvey It was the men I deceived the most that I loved the most. Marguerite Duras Left wing, right wing, I am wingless and tired of trying to fly. Here comes the ground. Marc Maron

It's a bit odd that nobody seems to be using the correct technical term to

describe organized Islamic terrorists. They are not a faction of a religion or a social movement. They are a cult. A suicide cult. Craig Bruce I would venture to guess that Anon, who wrote so many poems without signing them, was often a woman. Virginia Woolf Her name was called Lady Helena Herring and her age was 25 and she mated well with the earl. Daisy Ashford The principal cause of war is war itself. C. Wright Mills See into life, don't just look at it. Anne Baxter Fortune rarely accompanies anyone to the door. Torquato Tasso The concept of absurdity is something I'm attracted to. David Lynch

It would be enough for me to have the system of a jury of twelve

versus the system of one judge as a basis for preferring the U.S. to the Soviet Union. I would prefer the country you can leave to the country you cannot. Joseph Brodsky Speed is a great asset; but it's greater when it's combined with quickness - and there's a big difference. Ty Cobb I was born not knowing and have had only a little time to change that here and there. Richard P. Feynman It was one of those goals that's invariably a goal. Denis Law A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.

Thomas Hardy When you are dining with a demon, you got to have a long spoon. Navjot Singh Sidhu

If we'd had another carefree 70's, I'd have been dead. It was a little too

carefree, you know? I don't know how carefree they were for me, I think I was worried then, I can't remember what about. Randy Newman Nine-tenths of the existing books are nonsense and the clever books are the refutation of that nonsense. Benjamin Disraeli Your past is not your potential. In any hour you can choose to liberate the future. Marilyn Ferguson If our music survives, which I have no doubt it will, then it will because it is good. Jerry Goldsmith Every man dies. Not every man lives. Tim Robbins There's nothing wrong with being fired. Ted Turner A man's character always takes its hue, more or less, from the form and color of things about him. Frederick Douglass

It's definitely the highest rated pre-school show on Cable. It's difficult to mix markets that

way in terms of ratings. It's hard to tell, you know, where channel 12, or Public Television, is. Steve Burns Fans are really important for me. And if they take pains to write me, it's the minimum that I answer myself. Daniel Radcliffe A word to the wise ain't necessary - it's the stupid ones that need the advice. Bill Cosby Instant gratification is not soon enough. Meryl Streep The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting. It has been found difficult and left untried. Gilbert K.

Gabriel Garcia Marquez

I'm sure that some of them will be very hard and I'll have a sense

of achievement again, but nothing will mean the same to me - there's no other problem in mathematics that could hold me the way that this one did. Andrew Wiles After six or seven performances of any song, you begin to perform it rather than feel it. Graham Nash We expect everything and are prepared for nothing. Sophie Swetchine We sit in a room for months trying to think of funny things. David Walliams Woe to him who teaches men faster than they can learn. Will Durant When I see a movie with someone it's kind of uncomfortable. S. E. Hinton My mind-set is Munich. Most of my generation's is Vietnam. Madeleine Albright

Look at growth, look at how much time people spend on the Net and look

at the variety of things that they are doing. It's all really good, so I am actually encouraged by the fundamentals that underlie usage growth on the Net. Meg Whitman I always play women I would date. Angelina Jolie I've always taken risks, and never worried what the world might really think of me. Cher It is easy to be beautiful; it is difficult to appear so. Hosea Ballou From the end spring new beginnings.

Theodor Adorno As soon as white folks say a play's good, the theater is jammed with blacks and whites. August Wilson

This was totally influenced by me and the direction that I am writing about and

the stuff that I am writing about. There is just no way that you can be as intense as what I have been through in my life over a drum beat machine, sample, or loop; it's just not going to happen. Vanilla Ice Sleep is when all the unsorted stuff comes flying out as from a dustbin upset in a high wind. William Golding My father was a soccer player. All my friends played basketball though, so I stuck with basketball. Steve Nash I'd the upbringing a nun would envy. Until I was fifteen I was more familiar with Africa than my own body. Joe Orton Despair gives courage to a coward. Thomas Fuller What I'm trying to do is break the genre from what is rap and what is music. Wyclef Jean We tend to talk, Democrats, as a party, in legislative terms. Chuck Schumer

While we must ensure that these dangerous new drugs and precursors do not get in

the hands of children or others who would use them improperly, we must also be aware that these same drugs have legitimate uses. Bobby Scott Trent likes to record guitars direct, whereas I've always preferred playing through an amplifier. Daisy Berkowitz He was a god, such as men might be, if men were gods.

Kristin Kreuk The greatest honor history can bestow is that of peacemaker. Richard M. Nixon I still don't like doing interviews. I hardly do any... I hope this will be the last one for a long while. Beth Gibbons

Cage's Music of Changes was a further indication that the arts in general were beginning

to consciously deal with the 'given' material and, to varying degrees, liberating them from the inherited, functional concepts of control.

They have the ability to take a person's freedom from them. On certain situations, they

have the ability to take a person's reputation. And under certain circumstances, they have the authority to take a person's life. Daryl Gates It's about the music and that's it. I'm not an entertainer. But I do entertain people, see what I mean? Liam Gallagher I love my past, I love my present.

Be honest with yourself and the way you act when you hear music. That way,

when people watch, they'll see something from your heart and soul, and as a result will communicate your feeling and thought much better.

Frank Lloyd Wright Faith, like a jackal, feeds among the tombs, and even from these dead doubts she gathers her most vital hope. Herman Melville I would first recommend we appoint a Police Director that commands the respect of the rank and file. Vincent Frank

I think we probably will end up in America because he would be giving up

much more to come and live here. If you want to work in film, that's really where you have to be. But I'm not sure that being an ex-pat is very good for one's sense of self.

Daniel Petrie What have you given the world it never possessed before you came? Billy Sunday

My painting is visible images which conceal nothing... they evoke mystery and indeed when one

sees one of my pictures, one asks oneself this simple question 'What does that mean'? It does not mean anything, because mystery means nothing either, it is unknowable.

Mohammed Saeed al-Sahaf The god can no more exist without his people than the nation without its god. William Robertson Smith

Basically, what Economic Hit Men are trained to do is to build up the American

I once got a letter from a woman who told me she was 90. She

said if she were 30 years younger, I would have had to watch out. I guess 60 seems really young when you're 90. She said she would eat me with a spoon.

be in their hands. It must be in their hands. That is what democracy is all about. We can teach it, we can explain it, but they must want it enough to make it work for them.

Dick Wolf Naturally, when one makes progressive steps, there may be some who see it as a betrayal of their goals and interests. Louis Farrakhan

When we don't have information, we go to the simplest outlook, to black and white.
