Gordon Brown One of my few shortcomings is that I can't predict the future. Lars Ulrich Over the next four years, I will continue to listen to different views and accept different suggestions. Chen Shui-bian

I'm sorry that we have to have a Washington presence. We thrived during our first

16 years without any of this. I never made a political visit to Washington and we had no people here. It wasn't on our radar screen. We were just making great software. Bill Gates Every reform, however necessary, will by weak minds be carried to an excess, that itself will need reforming. Samuel Taylor Coleridge The liberty of the individual must be thus far limited; he must not make himself a nuisance to other people. John Stuart Mill To understand is to perceive patterns.

John Burroughs

There are powerful emotions that bring two people together in wonderful harmony in a marriage.

Well, we know that eighteen years after that solemn declaration it was disregarded, and the

Irish Parliament, which lasted for five hundred years, was destroyed by the Act of Union. Gentlemen, the Act of Union was carried by force and fraud, by treachery and falsehood. John Edward Redmond People that are orthodox when they are young are in danger of being middle-aged all their lives. Walter Lippmann Clarity affords focus. Thomas Leonard I think maybe L.A. or San Francisco could be rushed, but Sacramento is just laid back! Nick Johnson To jaw-jaw is always better than to war-war.

George Bernard Shaw No matter whether you are new or an old team member, you need time to adjust to one another. Yao Ming

George Bush, Dick Cheney, every one of the speakers praised John Kerry's war record. No

King There is none who cannot teach somebody something, and there is none so excellent but he is excelled. Baltasar Gracian Brooks Robinson belongs in a higher league. Pete Rose I'm no way one of those comedians who want to do drama. I really do love comedies. I hope to go back to it.

When I'm writing a novel, I'm dealing with a double life. I live in the

John Phillips Marquand True valor, on virtue founded strong, meets all events alike. David Mallet The highest form of vanity is love of fame.

It's as simple as that. Gerard Butler It seems there's a sliding scale between the money they spend on a movie and its creativity.

I made a Christmas album a couple of years ago and just put it out

Lucretius How can you practice dancing in an airplane? There's a law against it. George Murphy

'The Golden Compass' became a bad experience because the studio didn't have faith in the

strength of the ideas of the novel, which is ironic because it's one of the greatest fantasy novels ever written, if not the greatest, and they took the religion out of it and tried to turn it into a popcorn movie.

I really want to move away from the old model in which you have to

rely on people giving $10 after a humanitarian crisis to a newer model where people give money but also their time and their skills, whatever they have, to the causes that are personally meaningful to them well before the crisis moment presents itself. Chris Hughes At one time, I was persuaded to want to make music, and people answered me that that was not possible.

I probably haven't even seen ten of the films I've done. I don't get a

joy out of it, and I don't go to the movies. Robert Sean Leonard I can't switch time zones any more. London is one of my favourite places, but I'm always so zonked that I can't appreciate it. It's like a six-inch sheet of glass between me and Charing Cross Road. Douglas Coupland My job is to let everybody know what I stand for and to let my light shine. I want to show others the way I live so that hopefully they follow. I can also tell about my experiences as a Christian so that I may help bring others to Christ. LaDainian Tomlinson Most interviewers are looking for a headline. They're not skilled. They're looking for shock value. Ice T If we admit it or not, skiing is a little bit of show biz.

they were in the Polish section of Chicago, and in many Italian and Irish tenements, or that any workshops could be worse than some of those I had seen in our foreign quarters.

Charles Baudelaire In matters of commerce the fault of the Dutch Is offering too little and asking too much. The French are with equal advantage content, So we clap on Dutch bottoms just twenty per cent. George Canning Money is only useful when you get rid of it.

Natalia Kills We need to have business leaders who live by deep, strong principles. Stephen Covey Online harassment, especially gendered online harassment, is an epidemic. Women are being driven out; they're being driven offline. This isn't just in gaming. This is happening across the board online, especially with women who participate in or work in male-dominated industries. Anita Sarkeesian John Kennedy won the first televised presidential debate among those watching it, while Richard Nixon won among those listening on...
