Science is the international language, so when we are able to convince countries that good

decision-making for human health and animal health is based upon science, that's a real success story for us. Mike Johanns The Greens have every right to run, that's what democracy is, and they should argue their point by saying how they think people should vote, not by telling us to be silent. Peter Camejo There are many different kinds of radioactive waste and each has its own half-life so, just to be on the safe side and to simplify matters, I base my calculations on the worst one and that's plutonium. David R. Brower I loved her. I still love her, though I curse her in my sleep, so nearly one are love and hate, the two most powerful and devasting emotions that control man, nations, life. Edgar Rice Burroughs If we were to select the most intelligent, imaginative, energetic, and emotionally stable third of mankind, all races would be present. Franz Boas I count life just a stuff to try the soul's strength on. Robert Browning What you hear about the

Politicians, no matter who they are, shouldn't be able to manipulate the public on a

single issue and then call an election at the height of support - that's a little bit of a manipulation of democracy. Jim Bolger We can speak about the institution, but ultimately the bar is the group that both is in touch with the public on the one hand and understands the judicial institution on the other. Stephen Breyer Yeah, I'm very impressed with Lifetime, this is the first time I've worked with them. I really like the kind of programming that they're into, so I'm hoping that I will. Beau Bridges I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you're making a horror film doesn't mean you can't make an artful film. David Cronenberg My mom was a ventriloquist and she always was throwing her voice. For ten years I thought the dog was telling me to kill my father. Wendy Liebman Archbishop - A Christian ecclesiastic of a rank superior

Time travel may be achieved one day, or it may not. But if it is,

it should not require any fundamental change in world-view, at least for those who broadly share the world view I am presenting in this book. David Deutsch Economics is a subject profoundly conducive to cliche, resonant with boredom. On few topics is an American audience so practiced in turning off its ears and minds. And none can say that the response is ill advised. John Kenneth Galbraith We're in an emergency situation. The United States has become an absolutely terrifying country, and I would hope that I could participate in some way in stopping the horror and the brutality. Wallace Shawn Our managers hadn't had that kind of success - the record company hadn't, we hadn't - and the feeling was that the next record had to be even bigger, and if it wasn't it would be some kind of failure. Roland Gift You've got to believe as a filmmaker that if a movie's good enough, it's going to survive; and if it's not, well, it won't. Sam Mendes

If we know there is enough money in there for nine or ten months, we

won't worry too much. They can come back and get more-not all they want, but a large piece of it. So you always have the supplemental as a safety valve. John William McCormack Saddam's goal is to achieve the lifting of U.N. sanctions while retaining and enhancing Iraq's weapons of mass destruction programs. We cannot, we must not and we will not let him succeed. Madeleine Albright Something like trying to protect yourself all the time, things like trying to outwit fate. Those things can be the worst thing you can do for yourself. John Frusciante If we do not voluntarily bring population growth under control in the next one or two decades, the nature will do it for us in the most brutal way, whether we like it or not. Henry W. Kendall That's kind of the weird thing that M. Night Shyamalan has sort of unleashed upon the world is this need for every movie to have these ridiculous endings. Alex Winter For pleasures past I do not grieve, nor perils gathering n

I do feel we can create more jobs and opportunities for Jersey City residents, but

in the spirit of free enterprise, I do not think it is right to force companies to hire a fixed percentage of local residents. Vincent Frank For me music is a vehicle to bring our pain to the surface, getting it back to that humble and tender spot where, with luck, it can lose its anger and become compassion again. Paula Cole I would have had my patent long, long ago, and it would have run out long, long ago. I would have made, maybe, $100.000, much less that the patent has brought me now. Gordon Gould My childhood was safe and sane. No abuse and no traumas. I was surrounded by a large and loving family who taught me the importance of hard work and a meaningful education. Ronnie James Dio I started cooking when I was about 10. I have memories like when I was 6 or 7 with my mom, and when I was 12 I started getting real serious about cooking. Emeril Lagasse I long for the days when athletes were revered. I want to see the romance return to sports, to see people enjoy the g

Old hands soil, it seems, whatever they caress, but they too have their beauty when

they are joined in prayer. Young hands were made for caresses and the sheathing of love. It is a pity to make them join too soon. Andre Gide Country music is still your grandpa's music, but it's also your daughter's music. It's getting bigger and better all the time and I'm glad to be a part of it. Shania Twain I mean the flesh, never fade! The flesh never leave the creation, see, because with that divine spirit the flesh cannot fade. If the spirit is weak then the flesh fade, seen? Peter Tosh One of the many interesting and surprising experiences of the beginner in child analysis is to find in even very young children a capacity for insight which is often far greater than that of adults. Melanie Klein Without realizing it, the individual composes his life according to the laws of beauty even in times of greatest distress. Milan Kundera I don't like people who take drugs... customs men for example. Mick Miller I never really know the title of a

The main thing that gives me hope is the media. We have radio, TV, magazines,

and books, so we have the possibility of learning from societies that are remote from us, like Somalia. We turn on the TV and see what blew up in Iraq or we see conditions in Afghanistan. Jared Diamond I feel that an understanding could be reached with Germany which would result in a lasting peace with Europe and believe that a German victory is preferable to a British and Soviet victory. Pierre Laval Muhammad Ali was the kind of guy you either loved or hated, but you wanted to see him. I happen to really love him. He brought boxing to another level and always made you laugh. Gerry Cooney But when you take the Bible literally, for what it says, you have to come back to the fact that there is only one way of salvation; there's only one Savior. Tim LaHaye A human act once set in motion flows on forever to the great account. Our deathlessness is in what we do, not in what we are. George Meredith It touches on drug use. I got caught up in that for almost two years. Elli

Learning can take place in the backyard if there is a human being there who

cares about the child. Before learning computers, children should learn to read first. They should sit around the dinner table and hear what their parents have to say and think. Dixie Carter One of the problems that we have as American journalists is that we bring the American cultural baggage with us and we plop it down and it follows us around and that's just a fact of life. John Pomfret I don't think of myself as a role model. I do try to live in a compassionate, considerate and positive way. The only advice I can offer is to find what you love to do, find the joy in it, and express yourself through your passion. Barry Williams In these negotiations we are not a helpless object, although great world powers are involved. We play an active role and try to influence our destiny; we have our own trump cards and we use them. Alija Izetbegovic War on the other hand is such a terrible thing, that no man, especially a Christian man, has the right to assume the responsibi

We found that the most exciting environments, that treated people very well, are also tough

as nails. There is no bureaucratic mumbo-jumbo... excellent companies provide two things simultaneously: tough environments and very supportive environments. Tom Peters I'd be nervous about skiing, wondering what I'd do if I felt shaky on top of a mountain; but other diabetics do ski, so there's no reason I couldn't. Dana Hill Now all the knowledge and wisdom that is in creatures, whether angels or men, is nothing else but a participation of that one eternal, immutable and increased wisdom of God. Ralph Cudworth Take care of him. And make him feel important. And if you can do that, you'll have a happy and wonderful marriage. Like two out of every ten couples. Neil Simon Mentally, the only players who survive in the pros are the ones able to manage all their responsibilities. Everybody struggles in different ways. Tom Brady A woman is like a tea bag - you can't tell how strong she is until you put her in hot water. Eleanor Roosevelt Whatever my

When I pick up the ball and it feels nice and light and small I

know I'm going to have a good day. But if I picked it up and it's big and heavy, I know I'm liable to get into a little trouble. Bob Feller You can create a good impression on yourself by being right, he realizes, but for creating a good impression on others there's nothing to beat being totally and catastrophically wrong. Michael Frayn That strange feeling we had in the war. Have you found anything in your lives since to equal it in strength? A sort of splendid carelessness it was, holding us together. Noel Coward The cult of individuality and personality, which promotes painters and poets only to promote itself, is really a business. The greater the 'genius' of the personage, the greater the profit. George Grosz Kennedy invited us into the White House-the first time in the history of the White House picketers had been invited inside. This made front page headlines. Peter Coyote Now I'm starting, relatively, to think straight again. I live on

Taking it in its wider and generic application, I understand faith to be the supplement

of sense; or, to change the phrase, all knowledge which comes not to us through our senses we gain by faith in others. Matthew Simpson Do not think of your faults, still less of other's faults; look for what is good and strong, and try to imitate it. Your faults will drop off, like dead leaves, when their time comes. John Ruskin I looked back at some of my earlier published stories with genuine horror and remorse. I got thinking, How many extant copies might there be, who owns them, and do they keep their doors locked? Richard Russo How vivid is the suffering of the few when the people are few and how the suffering of nameless millions in two world wars is blurred over by numbers. Edwin Way Teale If there is one principle more deeply rooted in the mind of every American, it is that we should have nothing to do with conquest. Thomas Jefferson Productivity and the growth of productivity must be the first economic consideration at all times, not the last. That is the so

Most urgently, women's identity must be premised upon our 'beauty' so that we will remain

vulnerable to outside approval, carrying the vital sensitive organ of self-esteem exposed to the air. Naomi Wolf Your ethnic or sexual identity, what region of the country you're from, what your class is - those aspects of your identity are not the same as your aesthetic identity. Stanley Crouch My love for the theater has always been a priority. That hasn't changed. I got into acting that way. The film work that came up was really a surprise. Philip Seymour Hoffman I think my wife saw a picture of the rock group Journey, and they're kind of aging, and the one guy had dyed blonde hair with black roots, and... my idea was to get a little earring, I wanted to have a dangling earring. Fred Willard We succeed in enterprises which demand the positive qualities we possess, but we excel in those which can also make use of our defects. Alexis de Tocqueville Heaven never helps the men who will not act. Sydney Smith If we're so cruel to minorities, why do they k

Leaders of the future will have to be visionary and be able to bring people

in - real communicators. These are things that women bring to leadership and executive positions, and it's going to be incredibly valuable and incredibly in demand. Anita Borg Health care for all Americans is the most pressing domestic issue today. It's far past time for the President and Congress to deliver health care to everyone. Russ Feingold Brazil has rediscovered itself, and this rediscovery is being expressed in its people's enthusiasm and their desire to mobilize to face the huge problems that lie ahead of us. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva We are just an advanced breed of monkeys on a minor planet of a very average star. But we can understand the Universe. That makes us something very special. Stephen Hawking Love and business and family and religion and art and patriotism are nothing but shadows of words when a man's starving! O. Henry Love involves a peculiar unfathomable combination of understanding and misunderstanding. Diane Arbus What matter

I undertake that, in the exercise of my functions of that office I will have

regard to any guidance with respect to ethical standards issued by the secretary of state under Section 66 of the Greater London Authority Act 1999. Ken Livingstone I don't think it works to just be mad at them - Maxine Waters out ranting and kicking down the doors. It would be so easy to dismiss you and marginalize you. Maxine Waters People before the public live an imagined life in the thought of others, and flourish or feel faint as their self outside themselves grows bright or dwindles in that mirror. Logan Pearsall Smith The 1960s were big for folk music, and the Kingston Trio led the way. They were the ones who started it all. The music was fresh and alive. College kids loved it and their parents did, too. George Grove Perhaps it sounds ridiculous, but the best thing that young filmmakers should do is to get hold of a camera and some film and make a movie of any kind at all. Stanley Kubrick My biggest challenge will be to play the totally submissive woman. It t

I'm absolutely strict about it. When I land, I put my watch right, and I

don't care what I feel like, I will go to bed at half past eleven. If that means going to bed early or late, that's what I live by. As soon as you get there, live by that time. David Attenborough One's nativity is not of his own choosing, but whatever it may be, it is entitled to respect; and all nations have honorable place in the world's family. Paul Harris More than anything else, we need in this society the opportunity for people to tell us what they think without being told that they're either dumb, or stupid, or uninformed. Brian Lamb Last night the United States dropped four 2,000 pound bombs on Saddam Hussein. I don't know anything about explosives, but, my God, do those things even need to explode? David Letterman We didn't go for music that sounded like blues, or jazz, or rock, or Led Zeppelin, or Rolling Stones. We didn't want to be like any of the other bands. Michael Giles I am in favor of complete freedom of information and o

I grew up doing all that stuff because I was obsessed with the '50s. I

had sock hops for birthday parties. So I've always done The Twist and stuff. It was pretty natural and, with my parents doing it all the time, I'd just copy them. Not very pretty. Brittany Snow The sadness of the women's movement is that they don't allow the necessity of love. See, I don't personally trust any revolution where love is not allowed. Maya Angelou We've got great fans that rock and roll won't have, because you can have a one-hit record and country music used to, not so much anymore and you have a fan forever. Tanya Tucker I therefore set to work, and after two and a half years of not inconsiderable labour I now have the privilege and the satisfaction of accompanying the early volumes of the series with this preface. James Loeb One year after the United States led the invasion of Iraq, the country remains extremely dangerous not only to our troops, but also to the stability of the world. Jay Rockefeller Your inner knowing is your o

It is better for a woman to compete impersonally in society, as men do, than

to compete for dominance in her own home with her husband, compete with her neighbors for empty status, and so smother her son that he cannot compete at all. Betty Friedan We expect President Bush to implement his own vision of a two-state solution, the birth of the Palestinian State and the ending of the occupation that started in 1967. Mahmoud Abbas All these directors who do different locations forget that one room can be shot from a million different angles and a million different ways. When I direct a movie, I'm going to use that. Michael Pitt Every player should be accorded the privilege of at least one season with the Chicago Cubs. That's baseball as it should be played - in God's own sunshine. And that's really living. Alvin Dark With Crosby, Stills, and Nash and Crosby, Stills, Nash, and Young... we're very strong individuals, and we want our lives to be led the way we want them to. Graham Nash I cannot work fast enough. I cannot cope fast en

What's really important is to simplify. The work of most photographers would be improved immensely

if they could do one thing: get rid of the extraneous. If you strive for simplicity, you are more likely to reach the viewer. William Albert Allard Fundamental ideas are not a consequence of experience, but a result of the particular constitution and activity of the mind, which is independent of all experience in its origin, though constantly combined with experience in its exercise. William Whewell Recently, my personal advisors have been telling me to go to America. Actually, people have been walking up to me in the street and telling me to sod off, but that's the same thing, isn't it? Alexei Sayle So, I completely and utterly support David and Gillian's decision to go to Los Angeles, but I think that Vancouver is the perfect location for the show. Nicholas Lea It is very east to forgive others their mistakes; it takes more grit and gumption to forgive them for having witnessed your own. Jessamyn West Individually and collectively, Cherokee people possess a

You can hold yourself back from the sufferings of the world, that is something you

are free to do and it accords with your nature, but perhaps this very holding back is the one suffering you could avoid. Franz Kafka I went to the Glasgow Youth Theatre and they just let me in. But I was so shy that I was there for about six weeks without actually introducing myself. Bill Forsyth So the idea that you could put Kurds, Shiite Arabs, and Sunni Arabs in a nice, liberal, federal system in Iraq in a short amount of time, six months or a year, boggles the mind. William Odom I'm singing what I want to sing based on the emotion of what that day feels like. That's what comes out of my mouth and guitar. That impacts people. They know anything can happen. John Mayer Melancholy and sadness are the start of doubt... doubt is the beginning of despair; despair is the cruel beginning of the differing degrees of wickedness. Comte de Lautreamont Today self-consciousness no longer means anything but reflection on the ego as embarrassment, as realization of impotence

Without free, self-respecting, and autonomous citizens there can be no free and independent nations. Without

internal peace, that is, peace among citizens and between the citizens and the state, there can be no guarantee of external peace. Vaclav Havel To work without attachment is to work without the expectation of reward or fear of any punishment in this world or the next. Work so done is a means to the end, and God is the end. Ramakrishna By adopting the 'free trade,' or British, system, we place ourselves side by side with the men who have ruined Ireland and India, and are now poisoning and enslaving the Chinese people. Henry Charles Carey Independence I have long considered as the grand blessing of life, the basis of every virtue; and independence I will ever secure by contracting my wants, though I were to live on a barren heath. Mary Wollstonecraft A stem cell is essentially a blank cell capable of becoming another, more differentiated cell-type in the body, such as a skin cell, a muscle cell or a nerve cell. Virginia Foxx Being English, I always laugh at anythin

Less Than Zero and American Psycho were both really different, so I was just like,

Okay, he's just really doesn't have anything pleasant to say, you know? But I get it. I get at least why it's difficult and what he's really doing. Shannyn Sossamon Calendars and clocks exist to measure time, but that signifies little because we all know that an hour can seem as eternity or pass in a flash, according to how we spend it. Michael Ende Man can now fly in the air like a bird, swim under the ocean like a fish, he can burrow into the ground like a mole. Now if only he could walk the earth like a man, this would be paradise. Tommy Douglas I remember feeling that technology was like trying to draw with your foot. In a ski boot. It was the most indirect way to work imaginable, but the potential had us all excited. I started in stop motion. Chris Wedge Socialism is a philosophy of failure, the creed of ignorance, and the gospel of envy, its inherent virtue is the equal sharing of misery. Winston Churchill All of my judges will want to welcome every

The vast majority of human beings dislike and even actually dread all notions with which

they are not familiar... Hence it comes about that at their first appearance innovators have generally been persecuted, and always derided as fools and madmen. Aldous Huxley People everywhere enjoy believing things that they know are not true. It spares them the ordeal of thinking for themselves and taking responsibility for what they know. Brooks Atkinson We're probably doing better business than we thought we would do especially considering the disappointing way the record company has handled the album. Rick Allen The ill effects of thought come about when we forget that thought is a function of our consciousness... an ability that we as human beings have. We are the producers of our own thinking. Richard Carlson Arrogance on the part of the meritorious is even more offensive to us than the arrogance of those without merit: for merit itself is offensive. Friedrich Nietzsche Religion without humanity is very poor human stuff. Sojourner Truth They held up 'The

I submit that an individual who breaks a law that conscience tells him is unjust,

and who willingly accepts the penalty of imprisonment in order to arouse the conscience of the community over its injustice, is in reality expressing the highest respect for law. Martin Luther King, Jr. It will be quite satisfactory if you open them gradually, as the circumstances may require; but the President assures you that this will not be the case if you make a treaty with England first. Townsend Harris The most important ways in which I think the Internet will affect the big issue is that it will make it more difficult for government to collect taxes. Milton Friedman It's interesting that instead of having to get tighter and more restricted for a collaboration, strangely enough, from the beginning, we've actually been more confident that we could handle this. Robert Asprin Technology is a gift of God. After the gift of life it is perhaps the greatest of God's gifts. It is the mother of civilizations, of arts and of sciences. Freeman Dyson Extreme remed

It is idle to say that nations can struggle to outdo each other in building

armaments and never use them. History demonstrates the contrary, and we have but to go back to the last war to see the appalling effect of nations competing in great armaments. Frank B. Kellogg Now the master paid a number of visits to England and, as a Cambridge man, it is a source of pride that he taught there for a longer period than elsewhere in my country. John G. D. Clark One to destroy, is murder by the law; and gibbets keep the lifted hand in awe; to murder thousands, takes a specious name, 'War's glorious art', and gives immortal fame. Edward Young I have this problem in the rebirthing community because it's so powerful sometimes, I get thrown out because people want to do things a certain way and they are just not open to new ideas, so they don't want me to come around. Leonard Orr Of course. I favor passive investing for most investors, because markets are amazingly successful devices for incorporating information into stock prices. Merton Mi

France cannot be destroyed. She is an old country who, despite her misfortunes, has, and

always will have, thanks to her past, a tremendous prestige in the world, whatever the fate inflicted upon her. Pierre Laval All 50 states had the same national economy. And on virtually any measurement you wish to look at, Michigan has moved up and improved against the others. John Engler Also, of course, for most of this time most Americans thought of America as a white country with, at best, only a very segregated and subordinate role for blacks. Samuel P. Huntington The Bible was a consolation to a fellow alone in the old cell. The lovely thin paper with a bit of matress stuffing in it, if you could get a match, was as good a smoke as I ever tasted. Brendan Behan There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever. Dirk Benedict This music is forever for me. It's the stage thing, that rush moment that you live for. It never lasts, but that's what you live for. Bruce Springsteen

There are people hell-bent on the idea that we're a Christian band in disguise, and

that we have some secret message. We have no spiritual affiliation with this music. It's simply about life experience. Amy Lee She claimed she loved the camera, its warmth, its familiarity. She responded to its naked glare, its slavish attention to every expression of her face and body, with the kind of immediacy a trusted lover could expect. Anne Edwards Although my art work was heavily informed by my design work on a formal and visual level, as regards meaning and content the two practices parted ways. Barbara Kruger I'll look at the script and I'll try to find as many books, movies, and pieces of music that I think are going to feed each scene or the character as a whole. Josh Lucas To do easily what is difficult for others is the mark of talent. To do what is impossible for talent is the mark of genius. Henri Frederic Amiel It's long been a cliche in Washington that if you hang a lamb chop in your window, guests will come. Suzanne Fields But if you

Lions, wolves, and vultures don't live together in herds, droves or flocks. Of all animals

of prey, man is the only sociable one. Every one of us preys upon his neighbor, and yet we herd together. John Gay Because I used to go and watch him rehearsing for pantomime, and I have adopted some of those priciples, like try to be on time, learn your script, how he approach it, etc. Dennis Brown I discovered that in a story I could safely dream any dream, hope any hope, go anywhere I pleased any time I pleased, fight any foe, win or lose, live or die. My stories created a safe experimental learning place. Donald Davis All my fans tell me what a glamorous life I have, but I tell them how hard I work and how many nights I spend alone with my dogs, eating chicken pot pie in my bedroom. Shannen Doherty Everything worthwhile, everything of any value, has its price. Everything anyone has ever wanted has come neatly wrapped up in its penalties. Loretta Young When sex is necessary for the plot of a book, or a character development, then I don't shy away from it. Why shou

There's a lot of reflection that goes on whenever I write a song - it's

been a wild whirlwind last couple of years and there's a lot to talk about, and hopefully that's evident in the music. Nick Lachey Because our fight has been for such a long time we are isolated from the world, even after reconstruction we don't have much attention from people outside. Hanoi Hannah Some people can get away with being very sexy to men and not looking like a complete cow, but I didn't think I was in a position where people knew me well enough. Sophie Ellis-Bextor I have always paid income tax. I object only when it reaches a stage when I am threatened with having nothing left for my old age - which is due to start next Tuesday or Wednesday. Noel Coward And what it depends on, of course, is whether the story itself is worth the ethical compromise it requires and whether the competition is onto the story. Roger Mudd A woman's life can really be a succession of lives, each revolving around some emotionally compelling situation or challenge

While it was occasionally done here or there, nobody else had a figurehead like Walt

doing it. Jack Warner wasn't on TV. Walt was the boss, but he had a real public profile and he used it to his advantage. And he became a household face. Leonard Maltin I am strongly pro-life, and have fought to protect the rights of the unborn my entire career. I will continue to fight for this cause because I value the sanctity of all human life. Rob Bishop I explain this not for publicity, nor seeking to win an argument of right or wrong, I explain so that the record is clear as to my thinking and motivations in bombing a government installation. Timothy McVeigh We'd play at the Ambassador's house for an invited group of dignitaries from the government that might have gone to school in America; to the U.S. Consulate that invites certain people that they're trying to target. Bob Livingston We decide based on how people look; we decide based on how people sound; we decide based on how people are dressed. We decide based on their passion. Frank Luntz I hav

It goes against the grain of modern education to teach students to program. What fun

is there to making plans, acquiring discipline, organizing thoughts, devoting attention to detail, and learning to be self critical. Alan Perlis My project was radiation damage of Si and Ge by energetic electrons, critical for the use of the recently developed semiconductor devices for applications in outer space. Walter Kohn You've seen one of the our gigs you've seen 'em all. But if you're into the music, you'll know that we played better the night before or we can play better. Liam Gallagher I thank God tonight for freedom - those who bought and paid for it with their lives in the past - those who will protect it in the present and defend it in the future. Jim Gibbons A lot of people asked me if it was frustrating not having a clear specific diagnosis, but I didn't mind, I just chose the most optimistic diagnosis. Karen Duffy My roommate got a pet elephant. Then it got lost. It's in the apartment somewhere. Steven Wright It is of the ess

How do you tell troops who volunteered to fight for our freedoms that the country

they fought for won't take care of them when they come back? In the time of war our troops and their families are supposed to be our number one priority. John Salazar I had rather have a plain, russet-coated Captain, that knows what he fights for, and loves what he knows, than that which you call a Gentle-man and is nothing else. Oliver Cromwell The first misconception is that embryonic stem cell research is not legal. The fact is, embryonic stem cell research is completely legal. Research on embryonic stem cells has taken place for years. Virginia Foxx For myself, losing is not coming second. It's getting out of the water knowing you could have done better. For myself, I have won every race I've been in. Ian Thorpe We still have tremendous work ahead of us to ensure that women have equal opportunities in the workplace and in our society. Blanche Lincoln This is the first time in my 32 years in public broadcasting that PBS has ordered up programs for ideologi

On the one hand, there is no reason that a black person needs to live

a portion of his or her life being concerned about the people of color around him. On the other hand, if you don't you're crazy. Henry Hampton If particular care and attention is not paid to the ladies, we are determined to foment a rebellion, and will not hold ourselves bound by any laws in which we have no voice, or representation. Abigail Adams We do not want to be giving quality sides such as Southampton, Palace, Norwich and the rest eight or nine points start and expect to get back up with them. Paul Ince Women: You can't live with them, and you can't get them to dress up in a skimpy little Nazi costume and beat you with a warm squash or something. Emo Philips I will continue to advocate for a strong federal government role to establish the production, storage and distribution networks needed to support a hydrogen economy. Albert Wynn Novelty is always welcome but talking pictures are just a fad. Irving Thalberg Amherst was pivotal in my broad int

The only successor to President Putin is President Putin himself and we could of course

dream about President Putin stepping down voluntarily and picking out successor which would be probably as bad as him. Garry Kasparov It is an excellent rule to be observed in all disputes, that men should give soft words and hard arguments; that they should not so much strive to vex as to convince each other. John Wilkins Without territory, it does not even have the resources to provide detention facilities for prisoners, even if it were interested in holding captured POWs. John Yoo It is not surprising, then, that in the decade since Oslo began, Arafat used all the resources placed at his disposal to fan the flames of hatred against Israel. Natan Sharansky I have no desire to go in for tyranny or to play the part of King Charles. I hate tyranny in any field of human activity. Charles Edison Watch out for the fellow who talks about putting things in order! Putting things in order always means getting other people under your control. Denis Diderot Money is only a vehi

I wanted to express myself. I wanted to be creative and I didn't want to

worry about someone bossing me around in the process. You have to struggle no matter where you are to get to where you're going, so I'm like, working it honey! Michelle Rodriguez The human young must learn to perceive these affordances, in some degree at least, but the young of some animals do not have time to learn the ones that are crucial for survival. James J. Gibson In matters of religion and matrimony I never give any advice; because I will not have anybody's torments in this world or the next laid to my charge. Philip Stanhope, 4th Earl of Chesterfield I think I've done more recording in the past 10 years than most people, but it's all been directed toward film composing and soundtracks. Just the same, it's been great. Stanley Clarke Break a vase, and the love that reassembles the fragments is stronger than that love which took its symmetry for granted when it was whole. Derek Walcott If you ever injected truth into politics you have no pol

It avoids a self-conscious relationship to the act. We live in the most self-conscious society

in the history of mankind. There are good things in that, but there are also terrible things. The worst of it is, that we find it hard to give ourselves to the cultural process. Larry Harvey To recommend that women become identical to men, would be simple reversal, and would defeat the whole point of androgyny, and for that matter, feminism: in both, the whole point is choice. Carolyn Gold Heilbrun I don't know what religious people do. I kind of wished I'd been a Christian with the blind faith that God is doing the right thing. As a Buddhist, you feel like you have more control over the situation, and that you can change your karma. Marcia Wallace People want to build new circuits around the world and they say: 'We'll come to Silverstone and have a look how it's done', and I tell them to stay away. Bernie Ecclestone The cost of a thing is the amount of what I will call life which is required to be exchanged for it, immediately or in the long run. H

I am maintaining my schedule of commuting to Washington, D.C. each week from Oregon so

that I can spend my weekends and days when we are not in session traveling to communities throughout my district. Greg Walden Kennedy did not have to run the risk of having his ideas and his words shortened and adulterated by a correspondent. This was the television era, not only in campaigning, but in holding the presidency. Hugh Sidey Have the courage to say no. Have the courage to face the truth. Do the right thing because it is right. These are the magic keys to living your life with integrity. W. Clement Stone Today, for a Jew who writes in the German language, it is totally impossible to make a living. In no group do I see as much misery, disappointment, desperation and hopelessness as in Jewish writers who write in German. Stefan Zweig I would not have so many scripts being driven by demographics. The play's the thing - not the 18-35 year old male age group. Stephen Tobolowsky Wall Street people learn nothing and forget everything. Benjamin Graham Some of h

But very often in politics we have the experience called up from my father when

someone was trying to help him in the campaign: I can take care of my enemies, may the Good Lord save me from my friends. Robert Foster Bennett But in Christianity, by contrast, the freedom of the children of God was also freedom from all important worldly interests, from all art and science, etc. Bruno Bauer I know each fund has its supporters, and that some will not want to see the surplus go to schools. But, in tough times, you have to set priorities. And our priority is education. Rod Blagojevich I spent eighteen months as a graduate student in physics at Columbia University, waiting unhappily for an opportunity to work in a laboratory and wondering if I should continue in physics. Sidney Altman To rest satisfied with existing evils, as if we could do nothing, is not obedience; but neither is it obedience to imitate the actions of the apostles. John Nelson Darby We are symbols, and inhabit symbols. Ralph Waldo Emerson Equal pay isn't just a women's issue;

So I went to Miami in '74 with my family and while I was there

it became obvious that we needed money and we needed to do something, because my family, we left without anything really, and we didn't have any money to begin with. Ruben Blades Recently, I was asked if I was going to fire an employee who made a mistake that cost the company $600,000. No, I replied, I just spent $600,000 training him. Why would I want somebody to hire his experience? Thomas J. Watson If I had been censured every time I have run my ship, or fleets under my command, into great danger, I should have long ago been out of the Service and never in the House of Peers. Horatio Nelson I have always had a tremendous amount of energy and any band I was ever in from the age of fourteen, I would always be the one who would describe the future and vibe everyone up. Jim Capaldi Time is the most precious element of human existence. The successful person knows how to put energy into time and how to draw success from time. Denis Waitley Stem cell research holds enorm

The language of America changed with the election of Bill Clinton, because with all due

respect to my friends on the Republican side, Bill Clinton is the best communicator of the last 50 years. He felt your pain. Frank Luntz The essence of morality is a questioning about morality; and the decisive move of human life is to use ceaselessly all light to look for the origin of the opposition between good and evil. Georges Bataille Try and understand what part you have to play in the world in which you live. There's more to life than you know and it's all happening out there. Discover what part you can play and then go for it. Ian Mckellen Of course the illusion of art is to make one believe that great literature is very close to life, but exactly the opposite is true. Life is amorphous, literature is formal. Francoise Sagan Who, then, will govern? The answer must be, Man - for we have no angels in the shape of men, as yet, who are willing to take charge of our political affairs. Andrew Johnson An employee's motivation is a direct result of the sum o

We have gone through some difficult times like everyone else and perhaps our working together

and respecting each other's abilities, in addition to that little thing called love, helped us survive. Cynthia Weil In short, the time has come for us as American and Iranian citizens to apply our mutual energy, intellect, and goodwill toward strengthening relations between our two countries, as their destinies are intertwined. Cyrus Vance Because philosophy arises from awe, a philosopher is bound in his way to be a lover of myths and poetic fables. Poets and philosophers are alike in being big with wonder. Thomas Aquinas She said it had been hijacked shortly after takeoff. By this time, the plane had been in the air - again, I'm presuming that it took off on time - for over an hour. Ted Olson If there are no stupid questions, then what kind of questions do stupid people ask? Do they get smart just in time to ask questions? Scott Adams Are there challenges? Absolutely. But in aggregate, this is a very strong and valuable company. Bob Iger Always do one thing

She became so important to them that they wondered how they had ever managed without

her in the past. And the longer she stayed with them the more indispensable she became, so indispensable in fact that their one fear was that she might some day move on. Michael Ende We don't really talk about music that much, to be honest with you. It's not some I usually - I can't really talk about other people's tracks never mind my own. Sean Booth The construction of extensive railways, however, and particularly the consolidation of small, experimental lines into large systems, dates from the days of the discovery of gold in California. John Moody There are many crooked lines and one straight line. Which is the line of truth? Why the straight line? Truth is always the shortest distance between two points. Sun Myung Moon You're surrounded by electronic music in New York. I mean New York is one of the few places in North America where electronic music is the prevalent form. Bob Mould What troubles me is not that movie stars run for office, but that

The destinies of the two races in this country are indissolubly linked together, and the

interests of both require that the common government of all shall not permit the seeds of race hate to be planted under the sanction of law. Bobby Scott When you succeed at creating your own world, whether it's in any realm - like Tolkien was able to do - and people are able to enter that world, it's a special thing. David Selby And getting stunt coordinator Dan Bradley and everybody from the whole 'Bourne Supremacy' crew, I think was real cool for our film because we do a bunch of really big jumps in this movie. Sean William Scott If we win, someone else loses. But if someone else loses, we lose. Which is a point we're not getting. The new spirituality will make this just painfully obvious. Neale Donald Walsch We will continue to count on your unwavering support and commitment to working with leaders of our continent in bringing about the desired renaissance of Africa. Thabo Mbeki Even a minor event in the life of a child is an event of that child

I think it was in Moscow last year and I got changed for training the

day before we played Moscow, but the fact is they actually wanted to do John's, me and John were next to each other and they did mine by mistake. John had done them I think. So yeah it is true. Frank Lampard Earth's dispossessed are vulnerable targets for extremists: those who teach that global justice is meaningless; that satisfaction can come only in violence, division, and intellectual isolation. Abdullah II of Jordan Adults find pleasure in deceiving a child. They consider it necessary, but they also enjoy it. The children very quickly figure it out and then practice deception themselves. Elias Canetti There is a one woman in China that claimed she paid $50 to get my e-mail address. It was pretty shocking. I got one this morning from Scotland. A girl's requesting a signed photo of me. Michael Phelps I loved to read when I was a kid, and as soon as I realized that an actual person got to make up the books I loved so much, I decided that that was the job for m

It is a rare mind indeed that can render the hitherto non-existent blindingly obvious. The

cry 'I could have thought of that' is a very popular and misleading one, for the fact is that they didn't, and a very significant and revealing fact it is too. Douglas Adams We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Thomas Jefferson I find that the best way to do things is to constantly move forward and to never doubt anything and keep moving forward, if you make a mistake say you made a mistake. John Frusciante Human beings, viewed as behaving systems, are quite simple. The apparent complexity of our behavior over time is largely a reflection of the complexity of the environment in which we find ourselves. Herbert Simon A hero is born among a hundred, a wise man is found among a thousand, but an accomplished one might not be found even among a hundred thousand men. Plato The head never rules

Each one of these treaties is a step for the maintenance of peace, an additional

guarantee against war. It is through such machinery that the disputes between nations will be settled and war prevented. Frank B. Kellogg You know, having been an election monitor in countries across the world, I can tell you that we would never certify another country's election if it had as many flaws in place as we had in Florida. Corrine Brown I must confess, my Spanish is not so good - except I read a little, so I started with the English but then determined that it would have to be in Spanish. George Crumb Everybody has to chip in, I think, and see how we can have a functioning system of collective security where we do not continue to face the threat of countries trying to acquire weapons of mass destruction or particularly nuclear weapons. Mohamed ElBaradei Education then, beyond all other devices of human origin, is the great equalizer of the conditions of men, the balance-wheel of the social machinery. Horace Mann I wanted to use what I was, to be what I was

One of the problems with even suggesting that purpose of a Federal law is for

law enforcement officers to assist in protecting the public outside their jurisdictions is that it may give them encouragement or even a sense of obligation to do so. Bobby Scott We pass bills authorizing improvements and grants. But when it comes time to pay for these programs, we'd rather put the country's money toward tax breaks for the wealthy than for police officers who are protecting our communities. David Price In fact, this network, which we may identify as the Round Table Groups, has no aversion to cooperating with the Communists, or any other groups, and frequently does so. Carroll Quigley Certainly toward the end of the season, you and I could be in a ballpark and they might say the crowd is 30,000, and we could look around and see that there was no more than 10,000. Fay Vincent So smoking is the perfect way to commit suicide without actually dying. I smoke because it's bad, it's really simple. Damien Hirst I have inhaled, exhaled everything.

Ronald Reagan's vision of smaller government, less taxes, and a strong national defense has led

to a prosperous America. As president, he rebuilt our military and reinvigorated our confidence in ourselves. David Vitter The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower. Florence Nightingale The myths have always condemned those who 'looked back.' Condemned them, whatever the paradise may have been which they were leaving. Hence this shadow over each departure from your decision. Dag Hammarskjold The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity. Arthur Henderson It's all a sham: I have seen, and I know firsthand, indeed from my own pen, how the organized Right has sabotaged not only journalism but also democracy and truth. David Brock If a liberal political philosophy stands for anything, and I am no longer sure it does, then it must mea

All the papers contained nothing but fantastic stories about the war. However, for several months

we had been accustomed to war talk. We had so often packed our service trunks that the whole thing had become tedious. Manfred von Richthofen I only have so much energy, so something had to go. This is why, at the end of the day, I've preserved my sanity for the children and also manage to do my best at work. Kiri Te Kanawa In itself, homosexuality is as limiting as heterosexuality: the ideal should be to be capable of loving a woman or a man; either, a human being, without feeling fear, restraint, or obligation. Simone de Beauvoir On the other hand, I think it is wonderful for everyone to take ballet classes, at any age. It gives you a discipline, it gives you a place to go. It gives you some control in your life. Suzanne Farrell Fear prophets and those prepared to die for the truth, for as a rule they make many others die with them, often before them, at times instead of them. Umberto Eco A designer is an emerging synthesis of artist, inventor, mechanic, objective

I think we're probably more unified than ever before because we're in a battle for

survival. Not only for survival as the Republican Party, but survival of the check and balance system in our government. Bill Scott I don't get angry very often. I lose my temper rarely. And when I do, there's always a legitimate cause. Normally I have a great lightness of being. I take things in a very happy, amused way. Julia Roberts The Semantic Web is not a separate Web but an extension of the current one, in which information is given well-defined meaning, better enabling computers and people to work in cooperation. Tim Berners-Lee Without words to objectify and categorize our sensations and place them in relation to one another, we cannot evolve a tradition of what is real in the world. Ruth Hubbard They are patriotic in time of war because it is to their interest to be so, but in time of peace they follow power and the dollar wherever they may lead. Henry A. Wallace Marriage is the torment of one, the felicity of two, the strife and enmity of three. Washi

But what does interest me is the notion that if you do a lot of

work it means there's a potential for other people to understand that a lot of things are possible with a sustained effort and that the broadening of experiences is possible and I think that's all art can be. Richard Serra I want it understood that all these men fought for principle, not for plunder, and that they were true-hearted, honorable soldiers, fighting for what they esteemed was a righteous cause. Cole Younger You cannot raise the standard against oppression, or leap into the breach to relieve injustice, and still keep an open mind to every disconcerting fact, or an open ear to the cold voice of doubt. Learned Hand Happy is he who still loves something he loved in the nursery: He has not been broken in two by time; he is not two men, but one, and he has saved not only his soul but his life. Gilbert K. Chesterton Great men are usually the products of their times and one of the men developed by these times takes rank with the greatest railroad leaders in hist

Only under conditions of revolutionary crises do you have the highest level of self-organization; this

is the Soviet type of organization, which is to say, workers' councils, people's councils, call them what you want, popular committees. Ernest Mandel Gain may be temporary and uncertain; but ever while you live, expense is constant and certain: and it is easier to build two chimneys than to keep one in fuel. Benjamin Franklin We found a way to make things look great to the human eye through the window of a graphical web browser without worrying about what everything looked like under the hood. Mike Davidson So that godly sorrow may be discerned by this train of graces wherewith it is accompanied, that worldly sorrow wants, at least in the truth of them, though it may have some shadows of them. Thomas Hooker We don't move on in the stunt unless it looks like a hit. So when I see it on TV, I'm generally satisfied that people are going to buy it. Victoria Pratt Never believe anything in politics until it has been officially denied. Otto von Bismarck Certa

Having committed ourselves to Iraq, we must prevail, and to prevail, we must fund all

of the requirements for our military. We must do it adequately and promptly, and the administration is doing neither. Jack Reed I've often wondered about people that come to the profession late in life. I've wanted to be an actor since the first grade. I watched a play being performed by the third grade class, and it was... magic. William Christopher I've always been fascinated by numbers. Before I was seventeen years old, I had lived in twenty-one different houses. In my mind, each of those houses had a number. Robert Indiana 'Think simple' as my old master used to say - meaning reduce the whole of its parts into the simplest terms, getting back to first principles. Frank Lloyd Wright Style, no matter how outrageous it is, is still an expression of someone's personality. And my personality is somewhere stuck in the classics. Liev Schreiber Few new truths have ever won their way against the resistance of established ideas save by being overstated.

The product of the artist has become less important than the fact of the artist.

We wish to absorb this person. We wish to devour someone who has experienced the tragic. In our society this person is much more important than anything he might create. David Mamet The man in gray decided to take the Glen Suite of diamonds at midnight. Provided they were still in the apartment safe and the occupants away. This he needed to know. So he watched and he waited. At half past seven he was rewarded. Frederick Forsyth The perceived wisdom is that people do not go in large numbers to black-and-white movies anymore - which is a great shame, but I'd love to make a black-and-white movie one day. Sam Mendes There are three difficulties in authorship: to write anything worth publishing, to find honest men to publish it, and to find sensible men to read it. Charles Caleb Colton If a superior give any order to one who is under him which is against that man's conscience, although he do not obey it yet he shall not be dismissed. Francis of Assisi The secret to su

Success comes from taking the initiative and following up... persisting... eloquently expressing the depth of

your love. What simple action could you take today to produce a new momentum toward success in your life? Tony Robbins They wanted to make her less rural, less of a cartoon. Not that Southern woman are cartoonish - they're the strongest women in this country, but with Val they wanted to take the stereotypical things out. Joan Van Ark Newspapers across the country and the world have published cartoons that have gone beyond reasonable differences of opinion and expanded into the realm of antisemitism. Gordon Smith There is no logical way to the discovery of these elemental laws. There is only the way of intuition, which is helped by a feeling for the order lying behind the appearance. Albert Einstein I don't look on poetry as closed works. I feel they're going on all the time in my head and I occasionally snip off a length. John Ashbery We daily share emotions, our personal and shared needs and hope. Frank Jordan The distinction between the past, present and

Our subconscious minds have no sense of humor, play no jokes and cannot tell the

difference between reality and an imagined thought or image. What we continually think about eventually will manifest in our lives. Robert Collier When the government violates the people's rights, insurrection is, for the people and for each portion of the people, the most sacred of the rights and the most indispensible of duties. Marquis de Lafayette I grew up in Texas, but that was 20 years ago. Last year, in Fort Worth, they had hail the size of softballs. We're seeing more and more powerful storms, of all types, almost on a biblical level. Bill Paxton You lie awake at 3 in the morning thinking of story ideas. You're online at 8 a.m. on a Sunday or midnight on a Wednesday. It's a job that you never push aside. James Daly In playing or managing, the game of ball is only fun for me when I'm out in front and winning. I don't give a hill of beans for the rest of the game. John McGraw Democrats' attack on the Republican majority leader is nothin

In and after 1964 when I began to concern myself with the biological issues, and

particularly from 1967 onwards, the extent of the problems over which I felt uneasy increased to such a point that in 1968 I felt a compelling urge to make my views public. Andrei Sakharov The holidays are also a time when people freak out about their finances. If you don't want to spend the money, why not try some of the other options instead of killing a bunch of animals? Christina Applegate In the aftermath of September 11, and as the 9/11 Commission report so aptly demonstrates, it is clear that our intelligence system is not working the way that it should. Hillary Clinton My function is, as objectively and accurately as I can, to present reality to people out there, and doing that as quickly as we do is quite difficult enough, thank you. Ted Koppel I think that you can fall into bad habits with comedy... It's a tightrope to stay true to the character, true to the irony, and allow the irony to happen. Ben Kingsley Nice to be here? At my age it's nice to b

Usually, when people get to the end of a chapter, they close the book and

go to sleep. I deliberately write a book so when the reader gets to the end of the chapter, he or she must turn one more page. Sidney Sheldon The true measure of a career is to be able to be content, even proud, that you succeeded through your own endeavors without leaving a trail of casualties in your wake. Alan Greenspan God does not require you to follow His leadings on blind trust. Behold the evidence of an invisible intelligence pervading everything, even your own mind and body. Raymond Holliwell There's so much saint in the worst of them, and so much devil in the best of them, that a woman who's married to one of them, has nothing to learn of the rest of them. Helen Rowland There is always one person on the set who has a lot of anxiety, an actor who is really intense and has to stay in character and holds himself away from the rest of us. Maria Bello There are three roads to ruin; women, gambling and technicians. The most pleasant is with women, the quickes

I enjoy playing the band as the band. I 'be' the whole band and I'm

playing the drums, I'm playing the guitar, I'm playing the saxophone. To me, the most wonderful thing about playing music is that. Chick Corea I decry the current tendency to seek patents on algorithms. There are better ways to earn a living than to prevent other people from making use of one's contributions to computer science. Donald Knuth AIDS and malaria and TB are national security issues. A worldwide program to get a start on dealing with these issues would cost about $25 billion... It's, what, a few months in Iraq. Jared Diamond The obligations of our representatives in Washington are to protect our liberty, not coddle the world, precipitating no-win wars, while bringing bankruptcy and economic turmoil to our people. Ron Paul To know what you prefer instead of humbly saying Amen to what the world tells you ought to prefer, is to have kept your soul alive. Robert Louis Stevenson He that loves reading has everything within his reach. William Godwin

Almost any government activity can also be seen as taking property 'without just compensation.' The

basic model of an unconstitutional 'taking' would be if the government threw you out of your house. Michael Kinsley I'm not a celebrity. I'm intentionally and defiantly not a celebrity. I don't have any interest in it. I don't have any talent for it. I keep my personal life out of my public life as cleanly as I can. Charlie Kaufman Once you accept your own death, all of a sudden you're free to live. You no longer care about your reputation. You no longer care except so far as your life can be used tactically to promote a cause you believe in. Saul Alinsky What happened to the Bush Administration regarding terrorism is that they regarded it as a secondary issue, and associated with Clinton. One of those Clinton issues. Sidney Blumenthal Everybody knows if you are too careful you are so occupied in being careful that you are sure to stumble over something. Gertrude Stein Curiosity will conquer fear even more than bravery will. James Stephens

The battle of life is, in most cases, fought uphill; and to win it without

a struggle were perhaps to win it without honor. If there were no difficulties there would be no success; if there were nothing to struggle for, there would be nothing to be achieved. Samuel Smiles Blow the dust off the clock. Your watches are behind the times. Throw open the heavy curtains which are so dear to you - you do not even suspect that the day has already dawned outside. Aleksandr Solzhenitsyn I remember serving in Vietnam in that war, and many of us at the major Lieutenant Colonel, colonel level were frustrated that no one in the U.S. wanted to debate it that way. William Odom The East Germans first used biomechanics. This meant that rather than guessing about technique and form, they could apply changes to athletic performance based on science. Bill Toomey Academic qualifications are important and so is financial education. They're both important and schools are forgetting one of them. Robert Kiyosaki The land of my fathers. My fathers can have it. Dylan

Don't Make Assumptions. Find the courage to ask questions and to express what you really

want. Communicate with others as clearly as you can to avoid misunderstandings, sadness and drama. With just this one agreement, you can completely transform your life. Don Miguel Ruiz Dick Clarke, who was head of counter-terrorism in the National Security Council, pushed constantly for the Principals Committee, which is the key national security group of top officials to take up the issue of terrorism. Sidney Blumenthal So the books have a greater appeal to a British audience, but that hasn't stopped them making best-seller lists in places like Brazil, Japan and at least a dozen other countries. Bernard Cornwell Writing is one of the few professions in which you can psychoanalyse yourself, get rid of hostilities and frustrations in public, and get paid for it. Octavia Butler For a child actor, it's a matter of listening, reacting, and being able to put yourself in a new place without being scared. Jena Malone Where ever I am I always find myself looking out the

It is impossible for any number which is a power greater than the second to

be written as a sum of two like powers. I have a truly marvelous demonstration of this proposition which this margin is too narrow to contain. Pierre de Fermat We've been using C and C++ way too much - they're nice, but they're very close to the machine and what we wanted was to empower regular users to build applications for Linux. Miguel de Icaza A news organization has a much different responsibility. I might not be telling you the whole story. I might not be telling you a story in a manner that is properly sophisticated. Aaron Sorkin The world before 1914 was already a world in which the welfare of each individual nation was inextricably bound up with the prosperity of the whole community of nations. Arthur Henderson We Americans have the great gifts of freedom and democracy, but it has been our education system that has fulfilled the promise of democracy. James E. Rogers For me, the great joy is to watch an audience watching what I've made. To hear n

I appreciate the additional additives and preservatives that help sell a project, but I'm sticking

to what works best for me. I gotta sell the album live on stage and make people believe in the songs. Busta Rhymes Wondrous is the strength of cheerfulness, and its power of endurance - the cheerful man will do more in the same time, will do it; better, will preserve it longer, than the sad or sullen. Thomas Carlyle If a country is to be corruption free and become a nation of beautiful minds, I strongly feel there are three key societal members who can make a difference. They are the father, the mother and the teacher. A. P. J. Abdul Kalam The rule of law in place of force, always basic to my thinking, now takes on a new relevance in a world where, if war is to go, only law can replace it. Roger Nash Baldwin If every human being disappeared off the face of the earth in an instant, the earth would still keep spinning and the planet would develop new life forms. Graham Nash When placed in command, take charge. Norman Schwarzkopf I sometimes give myself admirable advice,

I do a lot of work with the Dyslexia Institute because, for people with dyslexia

who do not have parental support, it is a huge disadvantage. I was fortunate because my Mum was a teacher and she taught me to work hard. Susan Hampshire The statistics of life out there and the statistics of intelligent beings and advanced civilization is a certainty, the way I look at it. that It has not been accepted, because we've been in an anthropocentric era. Story Musgrave The great paradox of the 21st century is that, in this age of powerful technology, the biggest problems we face internationally are problems of the human soul. Ralph Peters Texas has a lot of challenges, but if I choose to run I will talk about opening democracy to mainstream Texans and not just to a closed circle of entrenched ideologues. Chris Bell You can judge a leader by the size of the problem he tackles. Other people can cope with the waves, it's his job to watch the tide. Antony Jay The mind is always the patsy of the heart. Francois de La Rochefoucauld Ethanol is a premier,

I do the cooking at home. Where we eat no more than 100 grams of

meat a day and have 'tons' of fresh vegetables. I prepare the vegetables with a wide range of herbs, spices and such. We also keep on hand lots of fruit, yogurt and great breads. Graham Kerr Women wish to be loved without a why or a wherefore; not because they are pretty, or good, or well-bred, or graceful, or intelligent, but because they are themselves. Henri Frederic Amiel In the time of battle the hammocs, together with their bedding, are all firmly corded, and fixed in the nettings on the quarter-deck, or whereever the men are too much exposed to the view or fire of the enemy. William Falconer I think it's incredible because there were guys like Mays and Mantle and Henry Aaron who were great players for ten years... I only had four or five good years. Sandy Koufax Knowledge will forever govern ignorance; and a people who mean to be their own governors must arm themselves with the power which knowledge gives. James Madison So I see that Christianity in be

When you combine the men and women deployed from our military installations with activated reservists

and members of the National Guard, Georgia is contributing more personnel to the theatre than any other State in our Union. Sonny Perdue Most pilots learn, when they pin on their wings and go out and get in a fighter, especially, that one thing you don't do, you don't believe anything anybody tells you about an airplane. Chuck Yeager A father may turn his back on his child, brothers and sisters may become inveterate enemies, husbands may desert their wives, wives their husbands. But a mother's love endures through all. Washington Irving But the key shift in focus will be from counter-insurgency operations to more and more cooperation with Iraqi security forces and to building Iraqi security capacity. John Abizaid A truly good book teaches me better than to read it. I must soon lay it down, and commence living on its hint. What I began by reading, I must finish by acting. Henry David Thoreau I want to play in a place people want to hear me. Luther Allison I

I think doing more live stuff's made us feel a certain way about that particular

point. I quite like small clubs. I don't really like playing in big clubs, and I think I'm really into the idea of a few people being together. Sean Booth According to the committee's findings, a network of mobile missiles carrying the newest warheads could be tested by China this year and deployed as early as 2002. Charles Bass We have to face it: in America today the way to have fun and celebrate is to break a store window and take something. That's the way it is, today in America, and we have to accept it. Richard J. Daley The great secret behind classified projects is that most of them are so utterly boring and uninteresting that James Bond wouldn't even take a second look at them. Kevin J. Anderson I'm learning English at the moment. I can say 'Big Ben', 'Hello Rodney', 'Tower Bridge' and 'Loo'. Cher The grandeur and strength or our people and democracy are as big as a forest. Chen Shui-bian Everybody in the

The views of the European Union are fully reflected in this text, particularly the key

objective of the EU, namely vigorously to address the disarmament of Iraq and to do so within the framework of the UN Security Council. Javier Solana A lot of things happened when I left there, and to be fair they treated me really bad, and now I have to play against them so I don't have any feelings for them at all. Frank Lampard And then, when I thought about joining the Air Force, flying seemed like a natural extension of the motorcycling experience. You're going faster, higher. You're operating a machine that's a lot more powerful than you are. Duane G. Carey Most producers I've known were writers first, and writing is a vital part of any game show. You could easily argue that the writing is the key ingredient that makes 'Jeopardy!' so great. Randy West Resistance is thought transformed into feeling. Change the thought that creates the resistance, and there is no more resistance. Robert Conklin They say that God is everywhere, and yet we a

Gemeoss

I don't like the idea of being eaten by a shark. I like to swim

in the ocean, and I think much more about sharks than anyone should. I really resent the fact that my oceangoing experiences are ruined by 'Jaws.' David Duchovny It needs to be said, over and over again, that Stan the Man was voted by 'The Sporting News' as the best baseball player of the postwar decade, from 1946 through 1955. George Vecsey We don't take anything when we pass away, and we need to do with the sense of responsibility. Carlos Slim No-one has ever called me a cool dude. I'm somewhere between geek and normal. Linus Torvalds I think in any relationship, even in the healthiest of relationships, we are all parents to each other at times. I think that's a normal, healthy sort of relationship. I think there are times when we're each a mother and a father when we need to be. Christopher Stanley I don't know if I can prepare for what's to come because I don't know what will. Daisy Ridley If you've got a camera, go

We're trying to be very careful and precise in our use of language, because I

think the language we use and the images we project really do have resonance. It's the reason why I don't use the term jihadist to refer to terrorists. It gives them the religious legitimacy they so desperately seek, but I ain't gonna give it to them. John O. Brennan I do not have a merchandise line. I don't sell knives or apparel. Though I have been approached to endorse various products from liquor to airlines to automobiles to pharmaceuticals dozens of times, I have managed to resist the temptation. Anthony Bourdain I actually think that the economy has got some positives. It's got the market. It's got consumer confidence and it's got banks throwing - I mean central bankers throwing money at it around the world. Jack Welch A feature of English that makes it different compared with all other languages is its global spread. David Crystal I've never had my heart broken. It's a very sad state of affairs. I think everybody should have their hea

What troubles me most about my lovely country is that its children are seldom taught

that American freedom will vanish, if, when they grow up, and in the exercise of their duties as citizens, they insist that our courts and policemen and prisons be guided by divine or natural law. Kurt Vonnegut Insurance companies want to make sure that you stay on your medicine. Rick Smolan I really like to rock it natural and let my hair go wild, but when I do style it, I slick all the hair over to one side with pins. It's either that or a messy bun. Tori Kelly There is just one exception to the FCC's no-throttling rule - if a company can prove that throttling is 'reasonable network management.' Marvin Ammori Both my best and my worst habit is that I'm very impulsive. Tove Lo People want change. How is Barack going to do it? I think McCain can bring change. Stephen Baldwin Nobody ever said I'm a simple personality. Rabih Alameddine From day one, since I was traded to the Clippers, the team has been amazing to not only me, but to my family.

Super-Earths are how we call a family of planets... up to two times larger and

about ten times more massive than the Earth. Dimitar Sasselov I always think my face is quite nondescript - it sort of fits in to any period. It's not really distinct enough for you to remember me from something. Kimberley Nixon I'm a pretty tenacious person; I get that from my mom. So sometimes, I use dark humor. I can't take myself too seriously. Art Alexakis My dad's a scientist, and my mom's a teacher, so I didn't grow up in a family that was into the entertainment world at all. Eloise Mumford I enjoy practicing law too much to even contemplate retiring, but I often think about engaging in serious study of the history of art, of the intricacies of classical music. I could write a fugue, or perhaps learn to play the cello. Karen DeCrow I graduated from college with a 3.92 GPA with a degree in computer programming and a BFA in fine arts and animation. My first job was painting a mural in the Grimaldi's in Queens. JWoww In my career as a d

I would absolutely love to go back to the simplicity of the '80s, where there

wasn't texting, social media, iPhones, or smartphones. I love the fact that you would go home and check your messages. I'm not well suited to the world of modern technology. Matthew Rhys I like the performing. And interviews, even. And the stuff that's not sitting in a room by yourself with empty paper. But I never loved writing, to tell you the truth. Randy Newman When you break a sweat you just feel great. You've got your endorphins going. You feel better. You look better. And if you aren't able to get a workout in, try to find a steam room somewhere. You just look and feel so much better after a sweat. Nicole Scherzinger I grew up kind of a tomboy and I used to fight with all the neighborhood boys. Edie Falco I like the body. I like to design everything to do with the body. Gianni Versace I have always been a Malibu Man, like all actors. Nick Mancuso Love can consign us to hell or to paradise, but it always takes us somewhere. Paulo Coelho My

I think you have to take each movie for its own value. There will be

those you'll roll your eyes over and others you can't wait to see. It all has to do with the intention. If someone's intention is just to make money and exploit something for profit, then it's not good. If it's thoughtfully done, the proof's in the pudding.Carrie-Anne Moss I basically applied to law school as a way of telling my parents that I wasn't going to medical school.John Delaney At a certain point, if you still have your marbles and are not faced with serious financial challenges, you have a chance to put your house in order. It's a cliche, but it's underestimated as an analgesic on all levels. Putting your house in order, if you can do it, is one of the most comforting activities, and the benefits of it are incalculable.Leonard Cohen I simply love coming to Chennai. My wife always complains, saying, 'You literally run at the mention of Chennai - I wonder what it is about that place!' I love how everyone is active here 24/7.

Growing up in northern California has had a big influence on my love and respect

for the outdoors. When I lived in Oakland, we would think nothing of driving to Half Moon Bay and Santa Cruz one day and then driving to the foothills of the Sierras the next day. Tom Hanks The merit of a democratic regime rests on one's continual willingness to exchange views, and to compete on the basis of individual merit and capacities. Jose Eduardo dos Santos I love artists like Jon B, but I don't wanna be compared to anybody. I'm just doing my interpretation of rnb and how someone like me should be doing it. Brian Harvey In recent years, we have been sending a clear, consistent signal about the harms of drugs, particularly marijuana, which for most young people is the first illegal drug that they are exposed to. John Walters It is not necessary that whilst I live I live happily; but it is necessary that so long as I live I should live honourably. Immanuel Kant When I go to a concert, I can't believe that people pay lots of money to see a band that t

In a hyper-capitalist environment dominated by media giants, the means available to independent journalism have

narrowed considerably. Nayef Al-Rodhan I wasn't a bad kid. My dad left when I was young, so I didn't have much discipline, not that I'm making excuses. I was always out and about and had a good time as a kid, so I've done alright. Danny Dyer I think I just stick to eating a well-rounded diet. I don't cut out anything; if I crave something, I eat it. But I definitely try to stick to a balanced diet always. Martha Hunt If I had been in President Obama's shoes, I would have acted more decisively and strongly against ISIS. Rand Paul Me and heels are very good friends. Emilia Clarke The conscience can be a strong guide in life if we allow it. Joyce Meyer Horseracing and ranch horses are two different animals. You're getting race horses out and running and running them. It can be really problematic. A thoroughbred's very delicate. Dennis Quaid I do value the respect I get from my contemporaries, but to have Oasis cover my song, to have Puf

I agree that we must expand opportunities for retirement saving, but we must not undermine

this worthy effort with a flawed privatization scheme that takes the 'security' out of Social Security. Mary Landrieu I believe that it is better to tell the truth than a lie. I believe it is better to be free than to be a slave. And I believe it is better to know than to be ignorant. H. L. Mencken A critical factor in its success was that the X developers were willing to give the sources away for free in accordance with the hacker ethic, and able to distribute them over the Internet. Eric S. Raymond The issue is not abortion. The issue is whether women can make up their own mind instead of some right-wing pastor, some right-wing politician telling them what to do. Howard Dean Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time. Paul Twitchell I am not in this world to live up to other people's expectations, nor do I feel that the world must live up to mine. Frit

We dream of having a clean house - but who dreams of actually doing the

cleaning? We don't have to dream about doing the work, because doing the work is always within our grasp; the dream, in this sense, is to attain the goal without the work. Marcus Buckingham I don't think there's one thing I've ever said on the radio that would have been found indecent or obscene. Howard Stern Someone 'big' will get thrown out of their Trials or at the Olympics. I would bet my house on it. Ato Boldon I like to draw, produce paintings, do something with my fingers - but I am very normal, down-to-earth person. Marion Bartoli Surround yourself with people who provide you with support and love and remember to give back as much as you can in return. Karen Kain Everybody tends to think I'm crazy, which is the biggest problem in my life. Cat Power No act is of itself either good or bad. Only its place in the order of things makes it good or bad. Milan Kundera The people who cast the votes don't decide an election, the people
