In this day and age when we do so much business in foreign trade, we

need the ability to identify trace an animal very quickly, identifying where it came from - where it has been, and where it is at today. Mike Johanns There is the fear, common to all English-only speakers, that the chief purpose of foreign languages is to make fun of us. Otherwise, you know, why not just come out and say it? Barbara Ehrenreich Show interest in all people, not just those from whom you want something. Making people feel important and good about themselves is just the right thing to do. Bo Bennett The person who comes up to you and makes the most noise and is the most intrusive is invariably the person in the room who has no respect for you at all, and it's really all about them. Robbie Coltrane Bruce Sutter has been around for a while and he's pretty old. He's thirty-five years old, that will give you some idea of how old he is. Ron Fairly If you do not wish a man to do a thing, you had better get him to talk about it; for the more men talk, th

The fact that the adult American Negro female emerges a formidable character is often met

with amazement, distaste and even belligerance. It is seldom accepted as an inevitable outcome of the struggle won by survivors, and deserves respect if not enthusiastic acceptance. Maya Angelou I directed before I was even in television; I directed in the theatre for seven years, so that was my trade anyway. But in the UK, I've given up any hope of being considered a director. Mel Smith With care, and skill, and cunning art, She parried Time's malicious dart, And kept the years at bay, Till passion entered in her heart and aged her in a day! Ella Wheeler Wilcox There is an abundance of misinformation, exaggeration, and blatant lies being spread by interest groups regarding the prospects for embryonic stem cell research. Virginia Foxx The number of medals on an officer's breast varies in inverse proportion to the square of the distance of his duties from the front line. Charles Edward Montague We can continue our progress as a Nation toward the promise that a

It doesn't matter that Bush scares the hell out of me. What matters is that

he scares the hell out of a lot of very important people in Washington who can't speak out, in the military, in the intelligence community. Seymour Hersh Perseverance is more prevailing than violence; and many things which cannot be overcome when they are together, yield themselves up when taken little by little. Plutarch Nothing you do for children is ever wasted. They seem not to notice us, hovering, averting our eyes, and they seldom offer thanks, but what we do for them is never wasted. Garrison Keillor A politician needs the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month, and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn't happen. Winston Churchill It has ever been since time began, and ever will be, till time lose breath, that love is a mood - no more - to man, and love to a woman is life or death. Ella Wheeler Wilcox Nothing is so firmly believed as what we least know. Michel de Montaigne If past histo

They need to learn poetry. They don't need to learn about poetry. They don't need

to be told how to interpret poetry. They don't need to be told how to understand poetry. They need to learn it. Peter Davison Well, sometimes if I go out to dinner with my family, people will come up to me and put their hand across my plate for me to shake, sometimes when I have a bite of food in my mouth. I find this a bit disturbing. Abdul Qadeer Khan For the first time in the history of mankind, one generation literally has the power to destroy the past, the present and the future, the power to bring time to an end. Hubert H. Humphrey They're after one world religion and one world government. That's why they've attacked the Catholic Church so strongly, to ultimately take control over it by their doctrine. Hutton Gibson As critical acclaim and response has built up, every interview I give is a chance to puncture the myth I've created about my work and refine it. James Ellroy The medieval university looked backwards; it professed to be a storehouse o

Athletes who take to the classroom naturally or are encouraged to focus on grades should

be able to do well in the classroom. I believe the reason you go to college is to get your degree. It's not a minor league or an audition for the pros. Rebecca Lobo For me life is continuously being hungry. The meaning of life is not simply to exist, to survive, but to move ahead, to go up, to achieve, to conquer. Arnold Schwarzenegger My goal was to make New Jersey's state government a model for all other states to emulate, hopefully thereby to stem, or at least slow down, the flow of power to the federal government. Charles Edison When the generation after me started getting on the cut, a lot of them would call me over to hang out or go jam and scratch and they were always separate from each other. Eric San Love is as strict as acting. If you want to love somebody, stand there and do it. If you don't, don't. There are no other choices. Tyne Daly I got well by talking. Death could not get a word in edgewise, grew discouraged, and traveled on. Louise Erd

Barry Goldwater and Ronald Reagan had tremendous influence on generations of American because, even if

people disagreed with them, they admired them because they made very strong commitments to things they believed in. Phil Crane With a fascist the problem is never how best to present the truth to the public but how best to use the news to deceive the public into giving the fascist and his group more money or more power. Henry A. Wallace The Left Elite only pretend to be concerned about what's best for everyone else because it is the most effective way to manipulate you and your children into their abyss. Tammy Bruce I've got to worry about Alonzo Mourning, because a year or two ago there was a chance that Alonzo Mourning wouldn't be standing here talking to you. That's the cold reality of it. Alonzo Mourning So, these political activities will create friction in and of themselves, and in this environment of friction there'll be additional violence. John Abizaid At twenty a man is a peacock, at thirty a lion, at forty a camel, at fifty a serpent, at si

Everybody thinks they know what art should be. But very few of them have the

sense that is necessary to experience painting, that is the sense of sight, that sees colors and forms as living reality in the picture. Otto Dix I still believe that the mission of Business 2.0 is very strong, very fundamental, and we're really at the beginning of where they're going to take us. James Daly The media is too concentrated, too few people own too much. There's really five companies that control 90 percent of what we read, see and hear. It's not healthy. Ted Turner Life is a corrupting process from the time a child learns to play his mother off against his father in the politics of when to go to bed; he who fears corruption fears life. Saul Alinsky The proper union of gin and vermouth is a great and sudden glory; it is one of the happiest marriages on earth, and one of the shortest lived. Bernard DeVoto War is the continuation of politics by other means. Carl von Clausewitz New ideas pass through three periods: 1) It can't be done. 2)

We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God

is the friend of silence. See how nature - trees, flowers, grass- grows in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence... We need silence to be able to touch souls. Mother Teresa Modern medicine is a negation of health. It isn't organized to serve human health, but only itself, as an institution. It makes more people sick than it heals. Ivan Illich Your only obligation in any lifetime is to be true to yourself. Being true to anyone else or anything else is not only impossible, but the mark of a fake messiah. Richard Bach That's why I do this music business thing, it's communication with people without having the extreme inconvenience of actually phoning anybody up. Morrissey The truth is that neither British nor American imperialism was or is idealistic. It has always been driven by economic or strategic interests. Charley Reese I should be the one to say what I do. It's just not done that way anymore in Nashville, and I can'

To know how to suggest is the great art of teaching. To attain it we

must be able to guess what will interest; we must learn to read the childish soul as we might a piece of music. Then, by simply changing the key, we keep up the attraction and vary the song. Henri Frederic Amiel As for the United States' future in Afghanistan, it will be fire and hell and total defeat, God willing, as it was for their predecessors - the Soviets and, before them, the British. Mohammed Omar At the current $5.15 an hour, the federal minimum wage has become a poverty wage. A full-time worker with one child lives below the official poverty line. Bernie Sanders Like any small business owner, I experienced the pressures of building a company from the ground up - developing a business plan, balancing the books, meeting payroll and building a customer base. Gavin Newsom Yes, you can lose somebody overnight, yes, your whole life can be turned upside down. Life is short. It can come and go like a feather in the wind. Shania Twain Great souls suffer in silence.

I'm kind of private and I keep things inside a lot, but it's been so

wonderful to realize that people care about you in a very deep way and that there is some bond between an actor and his audience. I don't even know how to describe that feeling. Michael J. Fox I just have my own taste, and I just try and stick with that. I'm just trying to play as many characters as I can for as long as I have an opportunity to. Ryan Gosling This awareness instills a fierce desire to protect that heritage and - in doing so - to educate Americans in the meaning and importance of our pivotal documents. Allen Weinstein The seven marvels that best represent man's achievements over the last 2,000 years will be determined by Internet vote... so look for Howard Stern's Private Parts to come in No. 1. Jon Stewart But one does not make living writing poetry unless you're a professor, and one frankly doesn't get a lot of girls as a poet. Jeffery Deaver There's way easier ways to make money, let's just put it that way. Sebastian Bac

What the guys have learned is that whether you're preaching to one or 10,000, it

really doesn't matter. That one person you touch may change the nation - could be the Billy Graham of Ethiopia. Michael Scott I think in national security, the war in Iraq is troublesome and a difficult challenge, but our troops and the military leaders we have are managing that situation, although it continues to be very risky and very dangerous. Thad Cochran With our Reserve and Guard units playing increasingly important roles in the war on terror and in Iraq, it is unacceptable to make them jump through any unnecessary hurdles. Pat Roberts This led to the discovery that long chain fatty acids would remarkably stabilize serum albumin to heat denaturation, and would even reverse the denaturation by heat or concentrated urea solutions. Paul D. Boyer I think it's really terrifying that a country based on the foundations and ideals of God, is now systematically removing God from everything. Everything! Stephen Baldwin I have a problem with too much money. I can'

When I was playing the game we never had the benefit of TV or video

to analyse our techniques or look at faults, we depended on other cricketers to watch us and then tell us what they thought we were doing wrong. Geoffrey Boycott I know that the nice shines I have on is going to pass. The nice cars will pass. All that will stay is the music and the work. That's where I get the inspiration to help people out and work. Wyclef Jean But unfortunately, when you have a kid, you sometimes eat everything they leave behind. So far today I've had some of her leftover pancakes with peanut butter. Joely Fisher If we turn to palaeontology to tell us about our biological evolution it is to prehistory that we look for evidence of the evolution of specifically human patterns of behaviour. John G. D. Clark All of the factors that make up a quality city - safe streets, high paying jobs, strong neighborhoods, etc. - emanate from a strong educational premise. Alan Autry Everything I have, my career, my success, my family, I owe to America. Arnold S

Jonathan Lynn is one of the last actors Orsen Welles used in a production. It

was wonderful. He's very sharp, very sharp. It's funny I've been asked how weird it was to have a Brit do a church gospel movie. Cuba Gooding, Jr. The genius of you Americans is that you never make clear-cut stupid moves, only complicated stupid moves which make the rest of us wonder at the possibility that we might be missing something. Gamal Abdel Nasser One is actually the democracy here, you know, people are, people assume that this election means that there is democracy in Pakistan. There is no democracy. Imran Khan Motion pictures are the art form of the 20th century, and one of the reasons is the fact that films are a slightly corrupted artform. They fit this century - they combine Art and business! Roger Corman From your parents you learn love and laughter and how to put one foot before the other. But when books are opened you discover that you have wings. Helen Hayes A very receptive state of mind... not unlike a sheet of film itself - seemingly iner

We hope that the elected officials will respond positively to a ground swell of letters,

phone calls, e-mails and visits from parents. The law clearly states that the responsibility for giving a sound basic education to our children lies with New York State. Major Owens We cannot wait for governments to do it all. Globalization operates on Internet time. Governments tend to be slow moving by nature, because they have to build political support for every step. Kofi Annan I think every parent, every generation has wanted their children to do better and have a higher standard of living. But I think there's too much guilt. Phil McGraw When you're bringing in a fairly unknown candidate challenging a sitting president, the population needs a lot more information than reduced coverage provides. Walter Cronkite You can't just lecture the poor that they shouldn't riot or go to extremes. You have to make the means of legal redress available. Harold H. Greene Searching is half the fun: life is much more manageable when thought of as a scavenger hunt as

Of all the stars whom I worked with, I think Steve knew better what worked

for him on the screen than any other. He had such a sense of what he could register, and that helped a lot in terms of shaping the character and the script. Robert Wise So when I do Chinese cooking, I mix everything together, then the kids have to eat their vegetables. They won't have the patience to pick them out. Martin Yan If virtue promises happiness, prosperity and peace, then progress in virtue is progress in each of these for to whatever point the perfection of anything brings us, progress is always an approach toward it. Epictetus And when things are not going well in Toronto, you're going to hear about it. And you're going to say things are not good at all, where it's really not that bad. Mats Sundin Life is a wonderful thing to talk about, or to read about in history books - but it is terrible when one has to live it. Jean Anouilh Anger is an acid that can do more harm to the vessel in which it is stored than to anything on which it is poured.

Laughter and grief join hands. Always the heart Clumps in the breast with heavy stride;

The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart, The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide. Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die. Karl Shapiro But there is something seductive and the character, Alfie is so charming, and does make you think like you are the most important thing in the world but he's not that nice, is he. Sienna Miller We on our part will stick to our independent foreign policy of peace, acting forever as a strong defender of world peace and a persistent proponent of common development. Jinato Hu We are moving toward a dictatorship of relativism which does not recognize anything as for certain and which has as its highest goal one's own ego and one's own desires. Pope Benedict XVI What we call happiness in the strictest sense comes from the (preferably sudden) satisfaction of needs which have been dammed up to a high degree. Sigmund Freud It is a rare piece of legislation indeed where there is so much agreement about the goals. Mike Pence

When the principles that run against your deepest convictions begin to win the day, then

the battle is your calling, and peace has become sin. You must at the price of dearest peace lay your convictions bare before friend and enemy with all the fire of your faith. Abraham Kuyper Perfect retention. I don't think I could do that-I've never disciplined myself to do it. I suppose a lot of it is a question of discipline. Which improvisation is not. George Shearing Once I decide to do something, I can't have people telling me I can't. If there's a roadblock, you jump over it, walk around it, crawl under it. Kitty Kelley I really have a great deal of humility in that department, and a great deal of respect for people who spend their lives learning how to make these amazing preparations. Ted Allen Oh may He look on us with love and pity and then we shall be able to do anything He wishes us to do, no matter how difficult to accomplish or painful to our feeling. Catherine McAuley I'm for prayer in schools. Charles Evers The salvation of the

I believe that our office has clearly been the leader in building coalitions, in getting

other universities across the contrary to interact more effectively with the government and particularly the Congress. Charles Vest If indeed, as Hilbert asserted, mathematics is a meaningless game played with meaningless marks on paper, the only mathematical experience to which we can refer is the making of marks on paper. E. T. Bell Of all that is good, sublimity is supreme. Succeeding is the coming together of all that is beautiful. Furtherance is the agreement of all that is just. Perseverance is the foundation of all actions. Lao Tzu There's a lot of pain in my heart because what I accomplished was second to none. I'm not losing any sleep, but I do pay attention every year at this time. Bob Hayes Humility must always be the portion of any man who receives acclaim earned in the blood of his followers and the sacrifices of his friends. Dwight D. Eisenhower The best rock musicians are the most exciting people in the world. James Daly A true measure of your w

My most intimate secrets? Well, if I told you those they wouldn't be secrets now,

would they? Seriously though I don't have too many secrets. I'm a very open and honest person, sometimes too honest for my own good. Paul Kane It's very different than it use to be. I think everybody has a lot more experience in how to be in a relationship - whether it's a marriage or a significant other or a business or a friend. Kathy Valentine I don't believe in kicking away ladders. By that, I mean the ladders by which I ascended as a young writer, small magazines that didn't pay anything, and that sort of thing. George Woodcock We must ensure that the global market is embedded in broadly shared values and practices that reflect global social needs, and that all the world's people share the benefits of globalization. Kofi Annan If we attend continually and promptly to the little that we can do, we shall ere long be surprised to find how little remains that we cannot do. Samuel Butler Photography can only represent the present. Once photogr

In order to understand what they need to understand, in order to write what they

write, they have to be free. And yet, they aren't ever free. They are not free because they are not free of the constrictions their art puts on them. Peter Davison A man will treat a woman almost exactly the way he treats his own interior feminine. In fact, he hasn't the ability to see a woman, objectively speaking, until he has made some kind of peace with his interior woman. Robert Johnson I feel, first of all, very privileged that these people think enough of me that they made me commissioner. And it's almost like, as Yogi Berra said, 'deja vu all over again.' Bobby Hull Concrete poets continue to turn out beautiful things, but to me they're more visual than oral, and they almost really belong on the wall rather than in a book. I haven't the least idea of where poetry is going. James Laughlin It's strange that the newspapers don't see a connection between their false revelations about my private life and my need for seclusion and secur

There's so many things I want to do. I want to work with great filmmakers,

great actors, great scripts. And there's no reason for me to do anything short of that, because I'm 24, I don't have a family, I don't need to make tons of money, and I'm not dying to get famous. Tobey Maguire I vertically center things in tables a lot, and the fact that there is no way to control vertical positioning in divs affects the way we do things across the board. Mike Davidson I was not a classic mother. But my kids were never palmed off to boarding school. So, I didn't bake cookies. You can buy cookies, but you can't buy love. Raquel Welch We spend millions of dollars per year supplying more than adequate meals and a Koran to every detainee along with a prayer rug that meets their religious standards. Bill Shuster If I had not actually got into this work and been called of God, I would back out. But I cannot back out: I have no doubt of the truth. Joseph Smith, Jr. Many an optimist has become rich by buying out a pessimist. Robert G

We do not get to this age to be written off. Older people can act

as a support system, which is what happens more in Mediterranean countries. People become much wiser as they get older and we should value that. Susan Hampshire They've got this house style which is writer driven. I heard of one person who sent his script in, and Karen Berger said there weren't enough words in it. Put some more in. Eddie Campbell It was obviously a pretty hectic development schedule and we put a huge team on to it but it paid off because we continuously get complemented on the finished product. Andrew Oliver What is inherently wrong with the word 'politician' if the fellow has devoted his life to holding public office and trying to do something for his people? Richard J. Daley Nothing is more pleasing and engaging than the sense of having conferred benefits. Not even the gratification of receiving them. Ellis Peters It's a great challenge to come from little New Zealand and beat the odds in Hollywood. Martin Henderson You cannot ta

You have come to a stage where you almost have to work on yourself. You

know, on finding some tranquility with which to respond to these things, because I realize that the biggest risk that many of us run is beginning to get inured to the horrors. Arundhati Roy Don't worry about what others say about your music. Pursue whatever you are hearing... but if everybody really hates your music maybe you could try some different approaches. Wynton Marsalis That no government, so called, can reasonably be trusted, or reasonably be supposed to have honest purposes in view, any longer than it depends wholly upon voluntary support. Lysander Spooner Half of the harm that is done in this world is due to people who want to feel important. They don't mean to do harm. But the harm does not interest them. T. S. Eliot The truth is, after Boys Don't Cry, I realized how few and far between the great roles are. I am beyond thankful for finding Million Dollar Baby. Hilary Swank I don't think baseball owes colored people anything. I don't think

There's always a great deal of business to be transacted in one's office. There are

always visitors it seems to me, an unending stream of them, who come with letters of recommendation, or come actually on substantive business. David K. E. Bruce We don't get groupies, well I don't see them, anyway. That was something that I always looked forward to and am constantly disappointed by the lack of! Mark Webber In a sense, words are encyclopedias of ignorance because they freeze perceptions at one moment in history and then insist we continue to use these frozen perceptions when we should be doing better. Edward de Bono Many a man gets weary of clamping down on his rough impulses, which if given occasional release would encourage the living of life with salt in it, in place of dust. Henry S. Haskins You make me chuckle when you say that you are no longer young, that you have turned twenty-four. A man is or may be young to after sixty, and not old before eighty. Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr. When you say 'I wrote a program that crashed Windows,' p

Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a

kind deed, speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word, think a kind thought. Count up, if you can, the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week, in a year, in a lifetime! Lawrence G. Lovasik No one who has come to true greatness has not felt in some degree that his life belongs to the people, and what God has given them he gives it for mankind. Phillips Brooks We were talking about how old quarterbacks can't throw before 10 am... Practice starts too early for us. Wake me up in the middle of the night and I can throw. I can throw anytime. Dan Marino I'm thrilled, I'm grateful, I'm blessed. I played for the world's greatest professional sports team in history. Once a Dallas Cowboy, always a Dallas Cowboy. Bob Hayes A society deadened by a smothering network of laws while finding release in moral chaos is not likely to be either happy or stable. Robert Bork How or by what magic is it, that we convey our thoughts to one another with

While it is important to maintain a balanced approach to solving our nation's energy problems,

we must commit ourselves to recognize some areas as 'off limits,' and the Artic National Wildlife Reserve is a national symbol of that commitment. Ken Salazar There is no theoretical study of motherhood. You know, before I became a mother, I did play a mother, but I was like - I was more thinking of my own mother. I was doing my mother. Joan Chen Our awesome responsibility to ourselves, to our children, and to the future is to create ourselves in the image of goodness, because the future depends on the nobility of our imaginings. Barbara Grizzuti Harrison Nobody seems to know yet how television is going to affect the radio, movies, love, housekeeping or the church, but it has definitely revived vaudeville. Edgar Bergen If you cannot inspire a woman with love of you, fill her above the brim with love of herself; all that runs over will be yours. Charles Caleb Colton Our top focus - protecting our Nation - must go beyond homeland preparedness; America will only be

The juvenile sea squirt wanders through the sea searching for a suitable rock or hunk

of coral to cling to and make its home for life. For this task, it has a rudimentary nervous system. When it finds its spot and takes root, it doesn't need its brain anymore so it eats it! Daniel Dennett Normal social behavior requires that we be able to recognize identities in spite of change. Unless we can do so, there can be no human society as we know it. Kenneth L. Pike As to whether the people who were supposedly to put up the money and did put it up or whether it was Arthur's own money is something which I shall never know. Peter Porter Whatever the number of a man's friends, there will be times in his life when he has one too few; but if he has only one enemy, he is lucky indeed if he has not one too many. Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton The bold defiance of a woman is the certain sign of her shame, - when she has once ceased to blush, it is because she has too much to blush for. Charles Maurice de Talleyrand Play is the exultation of the possible. Martin Bu

There is a wide range of opportunities for us and we see a main part

of our strategy as being a company that supplies products across a range of different end applications and indeed we have quite a wide product portfolio which we enhance each year. David Milne The largest challenge that we face, from my perspective, is the ability to continue moving forward so the agency will have a single mission: that is, to provide decent, safe, and affordable housing. Alphonso Jackson I think that episode in the third season was great. I'm really glad that we did that. He got to sleep with Sydney and kill Evil Francie and go on a mission and pretend he's a rock star. Bradley Cooper People talk about the conscience, but it seems to me one must just bring it up to a certain point and leave it there. You can let your conscience alone if you're nice to the second housemaid. Henry James Nothing splendid was ever created in cold blood. Heat is required to forge anything. Every great accomplishment is the story of a flaming heart. Arnold H. Glasow

The American Dream has run out of gas. The car has stopped. It no longer

supplies the world with its images, its dreams, its fantasies. No more. It's over. It supplies the world with its nightmares now: the Kennedy assassination, Watergate, Vietnam. J. G. Ballard The bill would ban human cloning, and any attempts at human cloning, for both reproductive purposes and medical research. Also forbidden is the importing of cloned embryos or products made from them. Ken Calvert Some dying men are the most tyrannical; and certainly, since they will shortly trouble us so little for evermore, the poor fellows ought to be indulged. Herman Melville I never read a single book as a child. I did not read as a child. I worked on the farm. I had books in the classroom, but that was it. I never read a single book outside of the classroom. Story Musgrave The passionate controversies of one era are viewed as sterile preoccupations by another, for knowledge alters what we seek as well as what we find. Freda Adler The stones tear like flesh, rather than breaki

The basis on which good repute in any highly organized industrial community ultimately rests is

pecuniary strength; and the means of showing pecuniary strength, and so of gaining or retaining a good name, are leisure and a conspicuous consumption of goods. Thorstein Veblen Usually a feeling of disappointment follows the book, because what I hoped to write is not what I actually accomplished. However, it becomes a motivation to write the next book. Anita Desai More than any other in Western Europe, Britain remains a country where a traveler has to think twice before indulging in the ordinary food of ordinary people. Joseph Lelyveld Anytime you open your mouth there's going to be someone who's put off. I try to deal with that by keeping the topical portions of my show brief. I realize that some people wish my comments were briefer. John Hall I have known more men destroyed by the desire to have wife and child and to keep them in comfort than I have seen destroyed by drink and harlots. William Butler Yeats The ultimate lesson all of us have to learn is uncondi

I know war as few other men now living know it, and nothing to me

is more revolting. I have long advocated its complete abolition, as its very destructiveness on both friend and foe has rendered it useless as a method of settling international disputes. Ernest Hemingway I know what it's like to be in one place and dream of another. I also know what it's like to feel that nostalgia is a fairly useless thing because it is stasis. Mira Nair Between Clive Owen winning at the Golden Globes and the British Academy announcing its nominations, of which Sideways received only one, I'm feeling pretty humbled these days. Thomas Haden Church It almost hurts me to walk down a road and have people grab my hand and ask for my autograph and not sit and talk. When I'm finished I'm not going to be on the front page, but I'm going to be just as happy without the publicity. Terry Fox I like someone who is a little crazy but coming from a good place. I think scars are sexy because it means you made a mistake that led to a mess. Angeli

The fact that people still know us is, in my opinion, a result of our

music and of the big money that runs the music industry today. The people who control the industry are accountants who recycle everything in new, nostalgic packages, and everything else, to make more money. Rick Wright I shall never be a heretic; I may err in dispute, but I do not wish to decide anything finally; on the other hand, I am not bound by the opinions of men. Martin Luther I'm getting married because I'm in love with a girl and want to spend my life with her. You can't live your life doing what other people want you to or you'll be miserable. At some point you just have to be yourself. Dan Marino In a world of prayer, we are all equal in the sense that each of us is a unique person, with a unique perspective on the world, a member of a class of one. W. H. Auden The people of the future will say, meat-eaters in disgust and regard us in the same way that we regard cannibals and cannibalism. Dennis Weaver We are deeply conscious of the fact that o

In this play we're dealing with relative truths - who's lying, who's telling the truth.

But underneath that, Ed and I have hit this deeper level of intimacy between old friends that comes out in the play. Fred Ward These are estimates that are done by the experts as to how much they expect we could get from the first lease sale that would take place in ANWR, and the estimate is about $2.5 billion. Gale Norton It could be that the methods needed to take the next step may simply be beyond present day mathematics. Perhaps the methods I needed to complete the proof would not be invented for a hundred years. Andrew Wiles The mers were also designed to reproduce only at long intervals, in order to maintain the natural balance of the environment in which they were placed. Joan D. Vinge A tragic situation exists precisely when virtue does not triumph but when it is still felt that man is nobler than the forces which destroy him. George Orwell I cannot give you the formula for success, but I can give you the formula for failure - which is: Try to please everybody.

He had one uniform practice, and a very bad one it was, during the time

of family worship, and just three or four seconds before the conclusion of the prayer, he started to his feet, and ran barking round the apartment like a crazed beast. James Hogg Apparently, the most difficult feat for a Cambridge male is to accept a woman not merely as feeling, not merely as thinking, but as managing a complex, vital interweaving of both. Sylvia Plath I have found that a smile and a stick will carry you through all right, and in ninety-nine cases out of a hundred it is the smile that does the trick. Robert Powell On the one hand, there are individual actions such as throwing, pushing, touching, rubbing. It is these individual actions that give rise most of the time to abstraction from objects. Jean Piaget Giving the same value to fiction as to fact in the interest of so-called fairness is to mislead the American people and the press has become party to that. Joe Wilson For behind all imperialism is ultimately the imperialistic individual, just as behind

Experience burned into me the conviction that access to education ought to be based on

how much you are willing to learn and how hard you are willing to work, not on how many dollars your family has in their bank account. Dave Obey In some ways, September 11, 2001, seems a long time ago. Yet we have done so much in only a few years, and we will continue to do so in the future, to prevent such attacks on America. George Allen Too often in Washington special interests urge us to fight one another just because we belong to different parties. It is time for this to stop and for Washington to focus on what needs to be done. Ken Salazar There's no way in the world I can feel the same blues the way I used to. When I play in Chicago, I'm playing up-to-date, not the blues I was born with. People should hear the pure blues - the blues we used to have when we had no money. Muddy Waters The worst of my actions or conditions seem not so ugly unto me as I find it both ugly and base not to dare to avouch for them. Michel de Montaigne People want to hear about the

There are a lot of female artists my age around at the moment, but they're

all American and blonde and blue-eyed and smiley. I'm totally the opposite of that. I want to show a bit more attitude and I have an opinion. Samantha Mumba In the issue war in Iraq, it was very clear to me that the policies that were being espoused by neoconservatives were totally devoid of substance - but they marketed it wonderfully. Joseph C. Wilson When I work, I work very hard. So I look to work with people who have that level of dedication. And I depend on that from everyone. From the director to my crews that I work with. Tom Cruise We paid off our debts, we learned some, made friends and returned in 1950 with a larger view of life. I had, however, no home, no income of any kind and no prospects whatsoever. James W. Black The only thing that could spoil a day was people. People were always the limiters of happiness except for the very few that were as good as spring itself. Ernest Hemingway Nothing so conclusively proves a man's ability to lead others as

Money has to be put in the way a club feels it should. If you

put money in a new ballpark, that helps to generate revenue so you can spend more money. It should be spent to make the club's operations the best. That will help in the end, and it will mean enhanced payroll. Bud Selig Experts say that if children can't read by the end of the fifth grade, they lose self-confidence and self-esteem, making them more likely to enter the juvenile justice system. Dirk Kempthorne It has been said that idleness is the parent of mischief, which is very true; but mischief itself is merely an attempt to escape from the dreary vacuum of idleness. George Borrow Sure, we've had our fair share of ups and downs, but I don't know if we've had more than any other rock band... we just have a way of getting ourselves into hot water. Carl Wilson I like all music. Well, I don't like music that was created to make money. I don't really like bands that don't write their own music. James Marsters Get me inside any boardroom and

There's also something of an illusion in that, you can perhaps record a TV thing

one month and complete a book the next and then be in a play. Then, if they all come out at once, it looks as if you're actually juggling a million things. Jane Asher He who would do good to another must do it in Minute Particulars: general Good is the plea of the scoundrel, hypocrite, and flatterer, for Art and Science cannot exist but in minutely organized Particulars. William Blake And, he'd seen me in Panama, and he talked about maybe doing something in New York so I hooked it up when I came here and I recorded in 1969 my first album with Pete Rodriguez. Ruben Blades Even as we pour hundreds of billions of dollars into our efforts in the Middle East, there is much that needs to be done to win the war of ideas in the Muslim world and beyond. Herb Kohl No, the real American has not yet arrived. He is only in the Crucible, I tell you - he will be the fusion of all races, perhaps the coming superman. Israel Zangwill Almost everyone thinks they are a good person,

I know there is a Supreme Being who rules the affairs of men and whose

goodness and mercy have always followed the American people, and I know He will not turn from us now if we humbly and reverently seek His powerful aid. Grover Cleveland One of the things that I have learned since trying to bring in an interesting story in under 28 pages is that we already agree on great chunks of typical superhero stories. Bill Williams It's an immensely competitive business, and I can tell you the older you get, the parts are fewer, and the people who are proven performers are greater. John Hurt You don't appreciate a lot of stuff in school until you get older. Little things like being spanked every day by a middle-aged woman: Stuff you pay good money for in later life. Emo Philips That which today calls itself science gives us more and more information, and indigestible glut of information, and less and less understanding. Edward Abbey Fortunately, when it comes to meat and poultry, I have the really wonderful situation of having producers and

The course that will restore to the workmen a father's duties and responsibilities, between which

and themselves the state has now stepped, is for them to reject all forced contributions from others, and to do their own work through their own voluntary combinations. Auberon Herbert I hope that not only my documentaries, but everybody's documentaries, last. It will really confuse historians in the next century, because they'll have, in addition to all the print material, they'll have all these pictures to look at. Frederick Wiseman David and Dad didn't get along too well growing up. I mean we all got along, but it was harder on David, because David wasn't going to be the son that Dad wanted. But now they're like best friends. Amy Sedaris We played at a club called, the Elbow Room. Don Carlos, the nightclub owner, was very hip and a very important person who made a big impact on my life. Jim Capaldi Players lose you games, not tactics. There's so much crap talked about tactics by people who barely know how to win at dominoes. Brian Clough Lo

I like giving people something they don't want to miss the next time. It's a

show with little twists and turns and curves. It has me being silly and stupid and compassionate and completely deep. John Mayer Some minds seem almost to create themselves, springing up under every disadvantage and working their solitary but irresistible way through a thousand obstacles. Washington Irving If you have enough people sitting around telling you you're wonderful, then you start believing you're fabulous, then someone tells you you stink and you believe that too! Angelina Jolie This country is about, in my judgment, aggressive, open debate. There is an old saying: When everyone is thinking the same thing, no one is thinking very much. Byron Dorgan Google actually relies on our users to help with our marketing. We have a very high percentage of our users who often tell others about our search engine. Sergey Brin We had a day off here yesterday and I just sat in my room and played. Leo Kottke After so many changes, I realized I'd better cling to

I am of opinion that it is highly requisite forthwith to pass a law, prohibiting

upon great penalties all trade with our enemies, and more especially the supplying of them with arms, ammunition or provisions of any kind whatsoever. William Shirley Translation makes me look at how a poem is put together in a different way, without the personal investment of the poem I'm writing myself, but equally closely technically. Marilyn Hacker When the green woods laugh with the voice of joy, And the dimpling stream runs laughing by; When the air does laugh with our merry wit, And the green hill laughs with the noise of it. William Blake We've finally given liberals a war against fundamentalism, and they don't want to fight it. They would except that it would put them on the same side as the United States. Ann Coulter As an actress, I have to be objective about myself. If I don't criticize myself, there are plenty who will do a find job of it for me! Loretta Young I worked with Cecil B DeMille quite a few times. Richard Farnsworth Politics is

If that voice that you created that is most alive in the poem isn't carried

throughout the whole poem, then I destroy where it's not there, and I reconstruct it so that that voice is the dominant voice in the poem. Philip Levine I swear to God, I don't remember anything Gwyneth Paltrow was in. Some people get hot by association. I heard more about her and Brad Pitt and I ever heard about her work. Jennifer Lopez Blacks who have not succumbed to the victim culture have been, are, and will be doing quite well - all on their own, without handouts, affirmative action, and other patronizing measures. Tammy Bruce The thinking was that so long as the British kept our basic documents in their hands and so long as they kept the formal right to change them, changes in our system would be careful and deliberate. Stockwell Day I'm in the studio 24 hours a day. It's true that once you get a certain level of success, you become a target. Talk magazine should be ashamed of themselves. Sean Combs Don't limit yourself. Many people limit thems

We have a responsibility as a state to protect our most vulnerable citizens: our children,

seniors, people with disabilities. That is our moral obligation. But there is an economic justification too - we all pay when the basic needs of our citizens are unmet. John Lynch But very unfortunately the merchant marine died away till even the majority of fishing done about the Cape is in the hands of the Portuguese who emigrated to the Cape some fifty years ago. Joseph C. Lincoln I've been called many names like perfectionist, difficult and obsessive. I think it takes obsession, takes searching for the details for any artist to be good. Barbra Streisand You would be amazed how many important outs you can get by working the count down to where the hitter is sure you're going to throw to his weakness, and then throw to his power instead. Whitey Ford I didn't want to do a zoo show. I didn't want to do a study of someone with mental illness. I just wanted to show someone who was trying to live their life. Daniel Craig Movement isn't progress. Thomas

If you can't pay for a thing, don't buy it. If you can't get paid

for it, don't sell it. Do this, and you will have calm and drowsy nights, with all of the good business you have now and none of the bad. If you have time, don't wait for time. Ernst Fischer In morals what begins in fear usually ends in wickedness; in religion what begins in fear usually ends in fanaticism. Fear, either as a principle or a motive, is the beginning of all evil. Anna Jameson It was the biggest suppression of voting rights in our country's history since Jim Crow. And the thread of race runs from the beginning to the end of my book. Sidney Blumenthal It is not the purpose of the ad or commercial to make the reader or listener say, 'My what a clever ad.' It is the purpose of advertising to make the reader say, 'I believe I'll buy one when I'm shopping tomorrow'. Morris Hite To believe in something not yet proved and to underwrite it with our lives: it is the only way we can leave the future open. Lillian Smith I was once ma

I think, first of all, you need to love what you're doing, and then this

helps in the comedian for its part in everything-but the moment you enjoy what you're doing, you try to express yourself, to find your way, and every time is different, of course. Cecilia Bartoli The correct didactic analysis is one that does not in the least differ from the curative treatment. How, indeed, shall the future analyst learn the technique if he does not experience it just exactly as he is to apply it later? Otto Rank It was a fantastic learning experience and OK, I got slammed because I wasn't Audrey Hepburn but you could have predicted that, really, if you'd opened your eyes wide enough. Julia Ormond We think of enterprise architecture as the process we use for fully describing and mapping business functionality and business requirements and relating them to information systems requirements. Tony Scott Fighting terrorism is not unlike fighting a deadly cancer. It can't be treated just where it's visible - every diseased cell in the body mus

It was easy to present figures demonstrating the contrast between lead work in the United

States under conditions of neglect and ignorance, and comparable work in England and Germany, under intelligent control. Alice Hamilton We really love all sports, but we don't think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities. Peter Farrelly APL is a mistake, carried through to perfection. It is the language of the future for the programming techniques of the past: it creates a new generation of coding bums. Edsger Dijkstra I shall never forget the despair and agony on the parents' faces on the awful day of the funeral when the 13 little children, victims not only of John D. Rockefeller, but of the government of the state of Colorado were buried. Ella R. Bloor Without the power of the Industrial Union behind it, Democracy can only enter the State as the victim enters the gullet of the Serpent. James Connolly People who live in the past generally are afraid to compete in the present. I'

I won it, at least five million times. Men who were stronger, bigger and faster

than I was could have done it, but they never picked up a pole, and never made the feeble effort to pick their legs off the ground and get over the bar. Bob Richards The one thing you've got to say about Columbia is that it has courses that are famous. It has alumni who come back and say it was the best thing they ever did. William Scott Actors get pigeonholed very quickly, particularly movie actors. In the theater, one is more used to casting people against type and trusting that their talent and skill will get them through. Sam Mendes In horror, character development is often pushed aside in favor of the shock value. The best genre movies to me are movies like The Shining. You had a connection to the characters in that film. Joshua Leonard I have made my living bearing witness to some of the most horrific events of the end of our century, at the end of the 20th century. Christiane Amanpour Do not be fooled into believing that because a man is rich he is necessarily

We were growing up in West Virginia. Everybody was poor there in the southern part

of the state. It was like growing up in the Great Depression from the stories I hear people tell. Everybody was poor and so we didn't know that we were any different from anybody else. James Green Somerville If a writer knows enough about what he is writing about, he may omit things that he knows. The dignity of movement of an iceberg is due to only one ninth of it being above water. Ernest Hemingway The Church as a divine society possess an internal principle of life which is capable of assimilating the most diverse materials and imprinting her own image upon them. Christopher Dawson We met with the poet Frank O'Hara, who was a link between Upper and Lower Bohemia, and who worked at the Museum of Modern Art, where we had hoped to do the readings. David Amram Liberal soccer moms are precisely as likely to receive anthrax in the mail as to develop a capacity for linear thinking. Ann Coulter There are also scientific problems with the concept that each of the creat

Well, Well, Well, its certainly a compelling provocative exciting delicious to think about idea, smart

people say the universe is so big there must be something statistically it could be likely there could be something happening on some other world. Jeff Goldblum Ours is not a poor country and even though we are now a poor people, there should be no room for the despondency that has settled on large sections of the population. John Agyekum Kufuor I've never seen anything like it since. Some of the Canada Cups came close, but by then a lot of European players came and played in our league so we were more familiar with them. Marcel Dionne If you live for your children, they may be smitten down and leave you desolate, or, what is far worse, they may desert you and leave you worse than childless in a cold and unfeeling world. Matthew Simpson You can't operate a company by fear, because the way to eliminate fear is to avoid criticism. And the way to avoid criticism is to do nothing. Steve Ross The more we take the less we become, the fortune of one man means less for s

Many people see technology as the problem behind the so-called digital divide. Others see it

as the solution. Technology is neither. It must operate in conjunction with business, economic, political and social system. Carly Fiorina I'm always the girl at the party who, within five minutes, has taken my heels off, hitched up my dress in my knickers, and probably spilt drink down my cleavage. Sadie Frost I don't want to be a star. If you have to label me anything, I'm an actor - I guess. A journeyman actor. I think 'star' is what you call actors who can't act. Paul Muni Before Booker T. Washington, we have small business owners but we do not have a philosopher of black entrepreneurship, and that's what Washington was. Ed Smith I continue to believe that the American people have a love-hate relationship with inflation. They hate inflation but love everything that causes it. William E. Simon I love kids. I was a kid myself, once. Tom Cruise If there's a book you really want to read, but it hasn't been written yet, then you must

He had a lot of talent, but didn't have much dedication, wasn't organized, didn't know

how to learn, didn't know how to comprehend what he was doing, didn't try to learn how to get better. Jack Nicklaus Now I believe I can hear the philosophers protesting that it can only be misery to live in folly, illusion, deception and ignorance, but it isn't -it's human. Desiderius Erasmus Some women can be fooled all of the time, and all women can be fooled some of the time, but the same woman can't be fooled by the same man in the same way more than half of the time. Helen Rowland We do not need to proselytise either by our speech or by our writing. We can only do so really with our lives. Let our lives be open books for all to study. Mahatma Gandhi My vocal style I haven't tried to copy from anyone. It just developed until it became the girlish whine it is today. Robert Plant We've killed a million Iraqis since the start of the Gulf war - mostly by blocking humanitarian aid. Woody Harrelson On the king's gate the moss grew gray; T

To attempt the destruction of our passions is the height of folly. What a noble

aim is that of the zealot who tortures himself like a madman in order to desire nothing, love nothing, feel nothing, and who, if he succeeded, would end up a complete monster! Denis Diderot At the time I was growing up in the business I was very well established within the industry as a child actor and as I grew up and turned into a teenager there was less and less work. Morgan Brittany I've leased the apartment; my partner is going to come out here. But we're keeping our house in Chicago because real estate is a really good investment and also because it is just crammed with full of stuff! Ted Allen If I could offer but one helpful hint to young Hoosiers hoping to better their odds for success in life, I would simply note the importance of thoughtful reading. Richard Lugar But the Jews will also be believers, so you can say that all the saints, both gentiles and Jews, will go into the millennial kingdom and populate the earth. Tim LaHaye I persist in performing.

Of all the ways of acquiring books, writing them oneself is regarded as the most

praiseworthy method. Writers are really people who write books not because they are poor, but because they are dissatisfied with the books which they could buy but do not like. Walter Benjamin Heroes are people who are all good with no bad in them. That's the way I always saw Joe DiMaggio. He was beyond question one of the greatest players of the century. Mickey Mantle All there is to thinking is seeing something noticeable, which makes you see something you weren't noticing, which makes you see something that isn't even visible. Leo Strauss You just never know when somebody's gonna die. It could happen at any moment so you've got to really treat everybody that way. Just really let everybody know how you feel about them. John Frusciante We can close the gap and improve what happens in the classroom by using educational technology that is the same high quality everywhere. Major Owens It would be ideal if we could have an uncontrolled flow of informatio

Women say they have sexual thoughts too. They have no idea. It's the difference between

shooting a bullet and throwing it. If they knew what we were really thinking, they'd never stop slapping us. Larry Miller Charity never humiliated him who profited from it, nor ever bound him by the chains of gratitude, since it was not to him but to God that the gift was made. Antoine de Saint-Exupery I just loved the guitar when it came along. I loved it. The banjo was something I really liked, but when the guitar came along, to me that was my first love in music. Doc Watson The Indians gave up the land of their own free will, and for it received brass kettles, blankets, guns, shirts, flints, tobacco, rum and many trinkets in which their simple hearts delighted. Patrick Gordon Some of the songs I do once in a while that I kinda... my set list is basically like my hits, there is a good reason why they are there; people really like them. Joe Cocker The way I see it, if you want the rainbow, you gotta put up with the rain. Dolly Parton A good jolly is worth what yo

I remember really bonding with the first generation kids, the Chinese Canadian kids, and in

high school bonding with the Latin kids and the East Indian kids. It was very interesting because it made me open to lots of musical sounds. Nelly Furtado Global overcapacity in steel production can no longer be ignored. Foreign governments' intervention in steel markets has had a devastating impact on the U.S. industry. Max Baucus For an Italian peasant a telegram from anywhere is a wondrous thing; and a cable from the terrestrial paradise of America is not lightly to be disregarded. Howard K. Smith Well, one doesn't try to hold Cass and Denny and Michelle together. It's a useless task to start with. You just sort of stay out of the way and let things roll as they can. John Phillips The proverb warns that 'You should not bite the hand that feeds you.' But maybe you should, if it prevents you from feeding yourself. Thomas Szasz By definition, a government has no conscience. Sometimes it has a policy, but nothing more. Albert Camus Marriage is a ver

A lot of people stop short. They don't actually die but they say, 'Right I'm

old, and I'm going to retire,' and then they dwindle into nothing. They go off to Florida and become jolly boring. Mary Wesley I think there are some songwriters who are just brilliant who can write and then I think there are some songwriters who can like me I have a problem writing chorus lyrics but I can write a song in a story like that. Charles King For over 20 years, the federal and provincial governments have made enormous efforts employing a variety of approaches in an attempt to stimulate Montreal's economy. Kim Campbell The changes in our life must come from the impossibility to live otherwise than according to the demands of our conscience not from our mental resolution to try a new form of life. Leo Tolstoy All that we know is nothing, we are merely crammed wastepaper baskets, unless we are in touch with that which laughs at all our knowing. D. H. Lawrence It frustrates me about myself when I see I'm not taking the road that demands more of me.

I was never a big guy in pubs. I was never the main kind of

aggressor or anything like that, but I found myself in trouble because I always had a mouth that would come back with something, and there was just never anyone who could make me be quiet. Dominic Monaghan I miss playing with Miles. I did play with him a little while before he left the planet, but even at that time I longed to maybe do some things together. Sonny Rollins The style of the Bible in general is singularly adapted to men of every class and grade of culture, affording the child the simple nourishment for its religious wants, and the profoundest thinker inexhaustible matter of study. Philip Schaff We can allow satellites, planets, suns, universe, nay whole systems of universes, to be governed by laws, but the smallest insect, we wish to be created at once by special act. Charles Darwin Universal education is the most corroding and disintegrating poison that liberalism has ever invented for its own destruction. Adolf Hitler To die for a religion is easier than t

You can find pictures anywhere. It's simply a matter of noticing things and organizing them.

You just have to care about what's around you and have a concern with humanity and the human comedy. Elliott Erwitt I did 10 years of comedies and 10 years of Westerns. I really like to stay away from car chases. I prefer the more intimate film. You have a much more direct association with the emotions. Elmer Bernstein I suppose that the media and their portrayal of Islam and the almost tribal separations and divisions of the Muslims are the greatest issues confronting Muslims in the United Kingdom. Cat Stevens The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time. Edmund Burke Religion is of general and public concern, and on its support depend, in great measure, the peace and good order of government, the safety and happiness of the people. Samuel Chase There's nothing like a family crisis, especially a divorce, to

Directing is: you're overwhelmed the whole time. Your mind never stops. If you care about

it. You wake up in the morning and you begin thinking about it and then you go to sleep at night and you're still thinking about it. Campbell Scott It is here, my daughters, that love is to be found - not hidden away in corners but in the midst of occasions of sin. And believe me, although we may more often fail and commit small lapses, our gain will be incomparably the greater. Saint Teresa of Avila We were proposing, in a sense, that the rest of the world be made safe for American ideas, as they adopted intellectual property rights that gave patent protection to our very innovative economy. Jeffrey Sachs The worst thing that an actor can do is go into any project with a lack of respect for the material. You can have an opinion about it, but you have to respect yourself in doing it. Alfred Molina It's a very sobering feeling to be up in space and realize that one's safety factor was determined by the lowest bidder on a government contract. Alan Shepard I was

In the beginning, when I first found out I had a disease that was incurable,

emotionally I had to get used to the idea of being sick before I could think about making any other major decisions in my life. Karen Duffy The evidence points to central Asia as man's original home, for the general movement of human migrations has been outward from that region and not inward. Ellsworth Huntington I think what makes us human - is our interconnectedness among people. It's our ability to form and maintain relationships. It's the barometer by which we call ourselves human. Thomas Jane A great actor is independent of the poet, because the supreme essence of feeling does not reside in prose or in verse, but in the accent with which it is delivered. Lee Strasberg There's nothing greater in the world than when somebody on the team does something good, and everybody gathers around to pat him on the back. Billy Martin You cannot make a sinner into a saint by killing him. He who does not live as a saint here will never live as a saint hereafter. C

They took their meals together; and it was remarked on such occasions, when the friendship

of animals is put to a hard test, that they never quarrelled or disputed the possession of a favourite fruit with each other. Henry Walter Bates I know a lot of gay males who I work with that are fantastic people and I love hanging out with them. But because I hang out and bring gay men into my life, does that mean that I'm gay? I promise you that I very much love women. Ryan Seacrest Then in my early teens, when the home computer bubble was blowing, I had one of the first, an Acorn Atom, and used to write primitive adventures on that. Graham Nelson I think one of the greatest enemies in the use of technology, however, is the idea that if you use the technology you have to throw other things out of the window. John Eaton In my own life, I decided to leave meat off my plate in medical school, but was a bit slow to realise that dairy products and eggs are not health foods either. Neal Barnard I do not paint a portrait to look like the subject, rather does the person gr

The old welfare system was hurting people by discouraging work and marriage. Welfare reform, and

now this legislation, will build on the understanding that work and strong families are the foundation upon which we build our future. Jim Talent Success? You can't get a big head about it. When people stare at me, they could be whispering to their friend, 'That guy sucks! Have you seen him before? He's horrible.' David Spade Now when you hates you shrinks up inside and gets littler and you squeezes your heart tight and you stays so mad with peoples you feels sick all the time like you needs the doctor. Margaret Walker I may be only a fish and chip shop lady, but some of these economists need to get their heads out of the textbooks and get a job in the real world. I would not even let one of them handle my grocery shopping. Pauline Hanson A man has made at least a start on discovering the meaning of human life when he plants shade trees under which he knows full well he will never sit. D. Elton Trueblood The filmmakers who I'm pining to work for aren&

If a speculator is correct half of the time, he is hitting a good average.

Even being right 3 or 4 times out of 10 should yield a person a fortune if he has the sense to cut his losses quickly on the ventures where he is wrong. Bernard Baruch True love makes the thought of death frequent, easy, without terrors; it merely becomes the standard of comparison, the price one would pay for many things. Stendhal The two records are very different. I guess, on the second record, that's more where I was at. Its not that I'm more well-adjusted or anything, it's just that what I wanted to sing about maybe was more the way I wanted to feel. Jon Crosby I do believe that there are some universal cognitive tasks that are deep and profound - indeed, so deep and profound that it is worthwhile to understand them in order to design our displays in accord with those tasks. Edward Tufte My feet ain't got nothing to do with my nickname, but when folks get it in their heads that a feller's got big feet, soon the feet start looking big. Satchel Paige

I have always felt that laughter in the face of reality is probably the finest

sound there is and will last until the day when the game is called on account of darkness. In this world, a good time to laugh is any time you can. Linda Ellerbee I ended up gettin' a little Gibson amp and a bass, because of Gene Simmons of Kiss. Myself and three other kids would pretend to be Kiss - I liked Gene the best. Jason Newsted My friends and I make short films. We pretended to rob the Dairy Queen where our friend worked, but someone thought we were real thieves and called the cops! Soon, the cops burst in with guns drawn! Josh Hartnett We are for the most part more lonely when we go abroad among men than when we stay in our chambers. A man thinking or working is always alone, let him be where he will. Henry David Thoreau A man must love a thing very much if he not only practices it without any hope of fame and money, but even... without any hope of doing it well. Oliver Herford Do not they bring it to pass by knowing that they know nothing at all? Jean Rac

This horror of pain is a rather low instinct and... if I think of human

beings I've known and of my own life, such as it is, I can't recall any case of pain which didn't, on the whole, enrich life. Malcolm Muggeridge The resolution has made a real threat of war go away and opens the way for further work in the interests of a political- diplomatic settlement of the situation around Iraq. Igor Ivanov God is waiting eagerly to respond with new strength to each little act of self-control, small disciplines of prayer, feeble searching after him. And his children shall be filled if they will only hunger and thirst after what he offers. Richard Holloway This has not been a legislative process worthy of the Senate. Members of the Judiciary Committee, as I just said, were implored to save their amendments for the floor. Then, when we got here, we were told no amendments could be accepted. Russ Feingold Accept yourself as you are. Otherwise you will never see opportunity. You will not feel free to move toward it; you will feel you are not des

I do not think that Mulder trusts any one other than Scully. He s very

solitary. She is the only one who takes him seriously. I don t know if they re in love. In a way, their relationship is deeper than that, because they cannot live without each other. David Duchovny I am proud of the President's leadership. I am proud to support him in saying: Yes, we are going to do what is necessary now when it is less painful and less expensive. Kay Bailey Hutchison The physician can bury his mistakes, but the architect can only advise his client to plant vines - so they should go as far as possible from home to build their first buildings. Frank Lloyd Wright My agent said to me five years ago, 'Hugh, I can see one day you... if I had to plan a goal for you, it's for you to have the kind of career that Sinatra had.' Hugh Jackman You slam a politician, you make out he's the devil, with horns and hoofs. But his wife loves him, and so did all his mistresses. Pamela Hansford Johnson When I'm on stage the savage in me is released. It

For if enough people were really convinced that growth should be halted, and if they

acted on that conviction, then billions of others might be deprived of any realistic hope of gaining the opportunities now enjoyed by the more fortunate. Herman Kahn I never had a speech from my father 'this is what you must do or shouldn't do' but I just learned to be led by example. My father wasn't perfect. Adam Sandler The Iraqi people are living a long-running tragedy because of the legacy of the old regime, the Americans and their actions that are unsuitable for Iraqi society, and the weakness of national resolve. Ahmed Chalabi One of the things I like enormously about Bob Weinstein is that that he's the only studio head I have ever known who will change his mind and say he was wrong. Dean Koontz All who think cannot but see there is a sanction like that of religion which binds us in partnership in the serious work of the world. Benjamin Franklin I'm the greatest rock and roll drummer on the planet and you suck. Tre Cool A nation that con

Years ago nobody was elected on the economic ticket. It was either the education platform,

or it was health or it was other issues. It is only recently that economic values have superceded every other human value. Anita Roddick The physical fabric of the world had to be such as to enable that ten billion year preliminary evolution to produce the raw materials of life. Without it there would not have been the chemical materials to allow life to evolve here on earth. John Polkinghorne I respect the Hall of Fame, and if they think that I'm worthy enough, I would be very honored. And if they don't, I gave it all that I had to this game. Rafael Palmeiro I'm pleased the administration is endorsing the need for legislation dealing with the chemical sector. In the past, the administration's position has been ambiguous. Susan Collins When I was 12 years old, I was hanging out with 23-year-olds. I was into cartoons and Pokemon, and they're all talking about girls. It was a strange way to grow up. Shaun White I read everything. I've always got a b

If I can avoid looking at myself, I will. I don't care to examine myself

or see much of what I do. I never care how I look. Scott Bakula I was 17 when I released my first record. I didn't really figure out what I wanted to say, how to get a message and put it together. Sydney Wayser I've always liked simple. Growing up, I wore corduroys and Lacoste shirts, Maraolo flats, and maybe one gold bracelet. Aerin Lauder I started off with violin, then I started learning guitar, then I went to piano. But I self-taught piano just because I enjoyed it. I've always really enjoyed music. Jesse Spencer Stand up and pledge with me: A government of the United States is not on the auction block. And America is not for sale! Tom Selleck Religion is a very personal thing for me. Religion has its good moments and its poor moments. Elie Wiesel Sweet, delicious Dungeness crab is always a treat. Tom Douglas I'm feeling around for what happens in a post-'Peep Show' world. Robert Webb I'd refer to myself as a feminist. I don't

The higher mental development of woman, the less possible it is for her to meet

a congenial male who will see in her, not only sex, but also the human being, the friend, the comrade and strong individuality, who cannot and ought not lose a single trait of her character. Emma Goldman We had every kind of audience you could name. Young, old, not-so-old, some older than old, some younger than young: they were there, they were there! There was everything. John Hunter Music is something that always lifts my spirits and makes me happy, and when I make music I always hope it will have the same effect on whoever listens to it. Aaron Carter God is not disillusioned with us. He never had any illusions to begin with. Luis Palau Genre is a bookstore problem, not a literary problem. Rick Moody We are the recorders and reporters of facts - not the judges of the behaviors we describe. Alfred Kinsey Power has only one duty - to secure the social welfare of the People. Benjamin Disraeli

One of the worst things about being an actor, besides people being nice to you

and getting free stuff all the time - but really, one of the worst things is not knowing what's coming next. You could shoot a pilot, and they could have you on hold for six months waiting to find out what is going to happen with the show, and you're locked into it. Nick Kroll What, I sometimes wonder, would it be like if I lived in a country where winter is a matter of a few chilly days and a few weeks' rain; where the sun is never far away, and the flowers bloom all year long? Anna Neagle Of course there have been times I regretted being the kid in 'E.T.' My world went completely crazy. I was that stupid kind of famous, where you can't go anywhere. Henry Thomas A lot of the stuff I have done had been not only the likable guy, but like the nice likable guy. Ron Livingston It doesn't have to be a problem for children to be fat, but it does affect you: you aren't as happy in that skin. Harry Melling They always want me to play myself and th

I pondered all these things, and how men fight and lose the battle, and the

thing that they fought for comes about in spite of their defeat, and when it comes turns out not to be what they meant, and other men have to fight for what they meant under another name. William Morris So, fall asleep love, loved by me... for I know love, I am loved by thee. Robert Browning As you walk down the fairway of life you must smell the roses, for you only get to play one round. Ben Hogan And soon, too soon, we part with pain, To sail o'er silent seas again. Thomas Moore The first step, my son, which one makes in the world, is the one on which depends the rest of our days. Voltaire Soap and water and common sense are the best disinfectants. William Osler There are no insuperable constitutional difficulties. Lionel Murphy

Temptation, if it is not to conquer, must not fall like a bomb against another

bomb of instantaneous moral explosions, but against the strong walls of an impregnable fortress strongly built up, stone by stone, beginning at that distant day when the foundations were first laid. Maria Montessori 'Mission: Impossible' is fun. But for myself as an artist, I'm really more concerned with the human condition, the human experience, especially from an African American point of view. Ving Rhames Woe to those who die in mortal sin! Francis of Assisi I had more energy at 50. On the other hand, at 75, I've probably got a little more wisdom and good judgment than I had at 50 because I've got more experience. But I haven't really changed. I'm still driven by the same philosophy. Ted Turner I let the whole 'Grease' experience be a springboard for me. I wanted to use the exposure I got from that very wisely to continue a successful career. It's taken a lot of work and perseverance. Laura Osnes The Hollywood Film Awards were r

What's important about me is that I really have, in ways I never could have

foreseen when I was young, a writing career that's reached a lot of different places. Francisco Goldman I think one of the main reasons I write is to do better than ranting. The ranting is the opinion, and the writing is not the opinion. I always say that people's opinions are the worst things about them. The words demand a dignity. Howard Jacobson Do what you say you're going to do. And try to do it a little better than you said you would. Jimmy Dean There's always a fundamental misery that's with me that I always relate to some bit of loss or something. I don't know what it is about me, but even though I'm happy on the surface, there's something there, I guess. So, it all comes from wherever it comes from. I really don't know where that is. Don McLean My twenties were entirely taken up with literature. Entirely. Thomas McGuane The idea that an actress - mostly lauded for her performances in more than a dozen films - somehow represent

I've become wary of interviews in which you're forced to go back over the reasons

why you made certain decisions. You tend to rationalize what you've done, to intellectually review a process that is often intuitive. Peter Weir With this first novel, I am just above the foothills, but I see the path to the top, and it is my desire to write compelling stories about everything that I find of interest. Guy Johnson Even though the vast majority of my work was outside television, the amount of creation and inventing that went into the TV shows was non stop and, unknown to me, a great strain. Paul Daniels Black women, whose experience is unique, are seldom recognized as a particular social-cultural entity and are seldom thought to be important enough for serious scholarly consideration. Barbara Smith I wouldn't say anything is impossible. I think that everything is possible as long as you put your mind to it and put the work and time into it. Michael Phelps Either you write songs or you don't. And if you do write songs like I do, I think there

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 was always under the impression that acting is an innate gift. One of the

first things I heard them say at Koothu-P-Pattarai was that actors should realise the art of acting through their training. Vijay Sethupathi I remember auditioning for 'Moulin Rouge!,' the part that Ewan McGregor played. I was so young: I was literally just out of college. Tobias Menzies When you have an opportunity to do a series, you want to stick it out. You don't know when you're going to get another one like that again. Cleavant Derricks I am a really great daughter. Millie Bobby Brown Let us fight until the end. Let me try at least that - fight. Pep Guardiola You can have an idea that everyone else thinks is dumb, and it's still a good idea. Ryan North When there is a ring on my finger, which is actually given to me, then I'll tell the world. Till then, no one can claim me. Priyanka Chopra You need not fear my extinction. Fear my proliferation! I've already reproduced! Lydia Millet We are at a point in our nation's history w
