also tackle the situations that create terrorists. We desperately need to address the frustration, the loss and the despair that drive some to these actions. Hussein of Jordan Life's up and downs provide windows of opportunity to determine your values and goals. Think of using all obstacles as stepping stones to build the life you want. Marsha Sinetar We shall not have succeeded in demolishing everything unless we demolish the ruins as well. But the only way I can see of doing that is to use them to put up a lot of fine, well-designed buildings. Alfred Jarry Did I put them in contact with the people to acquire them? Yes. Did I educate them on how to use them properly, and what way, shape, or form, and when, and with what supplements? Yes. Absolutely. Jose Canseco All of my life people have thought of me as Bing Crosby's daughter. Now they'll remember me as the person who shot J.R. Mary Crosby The wretch who digs the mine for bread, or ploughs, that others ma...

run your big three out there or four out there. That generally is what wins a series - pitching and defense. If we can catch the ball and not give away any runs like we do sometimes. Dusty Baker One doesn't become a soldier in a week - it takes training, study and discipline. There is no question that the finest Army in the world is found in the United States. Daniel Inouye Every age sort of has its own history. History is really the stories that we retell to ourselves to make them relevant to every age. So we put our own values and our own spin on it. Terry Jones During the last regular session and the most recent special session, measures that I see as little more than Band-Aids were applied to three health programs in the state. Jane D. Hull Do not consider it proof just because it is written in books, for a liar who will deceive with his tongue will not hesitate to do the same with his pen. Maimonides Not everybody likes or understands a drum solo, so I like to b...

most important by hanging out with one another - by collaborating with one another and creating your own network - you can achieve something that is much better than what is out there. David Amram I've been curious about certain things, but didn't let them get in the way of my life. I don't know how people becoem successful with some kind of habit. Tobey Maguire We were so fundamental that almost everything had been stripped away from the place of worship. Think of the role words can play, when all other enticements and sensual attractions are gone. James D. Houston The President is not squaring with the American people as to the seriousness of our nation's fiscal condition. It is time for people to stand up and tell the truth. Kent Conrad It is incumbent upon us to respond to the unique needs of military women and ensure they receive proper care during the first year following childbirth. Susan Collins You can't hit what you can't see. Walter Jo...

It's like anything else. The only time it doesn't really feel like work to me is when I'm on stage and doing what I've prepared myself for my whole life which is to stand out in front of a crowd and sing. Gretchen Wilson How is it they live in such harmony the billions of stars - when most men can barely go a minute without declaring war in their minds about someone they know. Thomas Aquinas Rarely do we find men who willingly engage in hard, solid thinking. There is an almost universal quest for easy answers and half-baked solutions. Nothing pains some people more than having to think. Martin Luther King, Jr. Sometimes I have to compromise my views, but I never compromise on issues like the death penalty and the arm trade laws, despite what the readers or letters may say. Jonathan Shapiro An art aims, above all, at producing something beautiful which affects not our feelings but the organ of pure contemplation, our imagination. Eduard Hanslick Good women...

- and, by analogy, our own experience - more, rather than less, real to us. The function of criticism should be to show how it is what it is, even that it is what it is, rather than to show what it means. Susan Sontag Despite the negativity coming from the President's opponents, the United States remains fully committed to assisting the Iraqis in restoring security and rebuilding their nation. Craig L. Thomas He never wants anything but what's right and fair; only when you come to settle what's right and fair, it's everything that he wants and nothing that you want. Thomas Hughes Love comes when manipulation stops; when you think more about the other person than about his or her reactions to you. When you dare to reveal yourself fully. When you dare to be vulnerable. Joyce Brothers Yeah, all those things, responsibility, pressure. It's a bit stressful. I try and come to terms with it by not thinking about it. Joe Strummer You know the great irony is t...

should keep singles as commercial as possible so that the people can walk down the road and whistle a song. But on the other hand on albums I think you can afford to show people what you can do. Roy Wood All the blessings we enjoy are Divine deposits, committed to our trust on this condition, that they should be dispensed for the benefit of our neighbors. John Calvin The proposition that Muslims are welcome in Britain if, and only if, they stop behaving like Muslims is a doctrine which is incompatible with the principles that guide a free society. Roy Hattersley The White House has embarked on a mission to convince the people of our country that Social Security is in dire need of drastic change in order to save it for all workers. Barbara Boxer If there is a look of human eyes that tells of perpetual loneliness, so there is also the familiar look that is the sign of perpetual crowds. Alice Meynell Laughter is not a bad beginning for a friendship, and it is the best endin...

the house that had been my grandmother's since 1923, and then my own country home, which we had lived in for over twenty years. Penelope Lively I'm extremely ambitious. I don't know why people are afraid to say that. I won't sell my soul to the devil, but I do want success and I don't think that's bad. Jada Pinkett Smith If our soldiers are not overburdened with money, it is not because they have a distaste for riches; if their lives are not unduly long, it is not because they are disinclined to longevity. Sun Tzu In the middle 1940s... I heard everyone live. Painting, the theater; everything was happening. It was an exciting time when New York was the place to be. Bill Dixon Presidential leadership needn't always cost money. Look for low- and no-cost options. They can be surprisingly effective. Donald Rumsfeld What a man takes in by contemplation, that he pours out in love. Meister Eckhart To make a prairie it takes a clover and one bee, O...

endless hardcore gear, that I don't have to rent, I don't get stuck with the bills, it's all mine. Billy Sherwood That's a rule in the business. No tongue. You can't really get into it, otherwise, it's weird. I think that particular scene made his (Adam Brody) girlfriend jealous. There were issues. Rachel Bilson I had to get rid of any idea of hell or any idea of the afterlife. That's what held me, kept me down. So now I just have nothing but contempt for the institution of the church. Frank McCourt For me, however, that beloved, glowing little word happiness has become associated with everything I have felt since childhood upon hearing the sound of the word itself. Herman Hesse We all have our time machines. Some take us back, they're called memories. Some take us forward, they're called dreams. Jeremy Irons God's only excuse is that he does not exist. Stendhal The best thing about switching from being an actor to being a direc...

identify emotionally with a character. If I make that connection, everything else is just working on knowing their life circumstances and manifesting those through practice and research. Joshua Leonard I will entertain anything; it doesn't matter. You know, it's not obviously about the price, it's not about who, it's kind of about when and what. It's material, that's all. Tom Hanks Our young people have come to look upon war as a kind of beneficent deity, which not only adds to the national honor but uplifts a nation and develops patriotism and courage. Rebecca Harding Davis I used to hurt so badly that I'd ask God why, what have I done to deserve any of this? I feel now He was preparing me for this, for the future. That's the way I see it. Eden Phillpotts I never presumed that a technique of composition or an idea was so special that just using it would guarantee the quality of the music. Robert Morris Those whom God wishes to destroy, he...

tell you the truth? Most of us are not going to care if they don't find these weapons of mass destruction. It's enough for a lot of us to see those kids smiling on that street again. Dennis Miller I wish people would turn off their computers, go outside, talk to people, touch people, lick people, enjoy each other's company and smell each other on the rump. Tre Cool Now both my films have been number one at the Australian box office and it took about two years just to get the finance for this film, so if it's hard for me then God help everyone else. Yahoo Serious How can you defy fear? Fear is a human instinct, just like hunger. Whether you like it or not, you become hungry. Similarly with fear. But I have learned to train myself to live with this fear. Shirin Ebadi The difference between writing a book and being on television is the difference between conceiving a child and having a baby made in a test tube. Norman Mailer We can recognize the dawn and the...

gay. I'm sure there were people, but I didn't know any. For years and years, I guess, I was very uptight about being a gay actor. I thought it would make me less hirable. John Glover You can think of Hollywood as high school. TV actors are freshmen, comedy actors are maybe juniors, and dramatic actors - they're the cool seniors. Owen Wilson In God, the characteristics of men and women that we admire in men and women are combined. That's been a traditional Catholic teaching that God is the combination of opposites. Andrew Greeley On the contrary, it might even be a projection of what the truth is of the Bush Administration's complacency and ineptitude on the terrorism in its first 9 months in office. Sidney Blumenthal The triple is the most exciting play in baseball. Home runs win a lot of games, but I never understood why fans are so obsessed with them. Hank Aaron He who hesitates is sometimes saved. James Thurber In those days he was wiser than he...

God and be hateful to God, but he cannot change into its opposite the eternal love of God which triumphs even in his hate. Karl Barth It's the publicity function of Amnesty that I think has made its name so widely known, not only to readers in the world, but to governments - and that's what matters. Peter Benenson Somewhere in your career, your work changes. It becomes less anal, less careful and more spontaneous, more to do with the information that your soul carries. Ben Kingsley Mind and spirit together make up that which separates us from the rest of the animal world, that which enables a man to know the truth and that which enables him to die for the truth. Edith Hamilton The bottom line is, it's a great script and that's very inspiring and makes you want to overcome whatever technical difficulties you come up against. John Crowley Obviously, I'm not a trained actress, and right now I'll come out and say I'm glad I'm not. Jenny McCar...

are obtained from sure experiments and demonstrated arguments than from probable conjectures and the opinions of philosophical speculators of the common sort. William Gilbert As society diversifies, the number of people who read literature is decreasing. It will be difficult for readers to digest my ideas through literature. Cao Yu It has become impossible to give up the enterprise of disarmament without abandoning the whole great adventure of building up a collective peace system. Arthur Henderson It's an album that is a little bit different and probably isn't easy to get out. It's not likely that a major label would have picked it up and said that they had a smash hit record. Billy Sherwood But a lot of the old fans are listening to a lot of the younger music. So I gotta keep moving forward, and they'll move forward too. Kenneth Edmonds If you were to look back at me as a school kid you'd see a very quiet little church mouse kind of character. John...

proud of an attitude toward women that is not acceptable in a politician. In 2003, all he has said is that he doesn't remember the interview. Michael Kinsley Well, she managed to - Barbara was capable of doing practically anything if she set her mind to it. In retrospect, I'm not surprised that Barbara managed to get collect calls through. Ted Olson What Christ gives us is quite explicit if his own words are interpreted according to their Aramaic meaning. The expression 'This is my Body' means this is myself. Karl Rahner Directors, like actors, get typecast. And because I've had great success with comedy and horror and TV shows, that's basically what I'm kind of offered. John Landis We are living in a world today where lemonade is made from artificial flavors and furniture polish is made from real lemons. Alfred Newman Never take counsel of your fears. Stonewall Jackson Life is made up of constant calls to action, and we seldom have time fo...

in the mirror by mistake and seeing the devil. But I took it several times, because you always think that next time you might have the wonderful time that everyone else is having. Robbie Coltrane One of the things that I think is such a constant in country music is that the song is so much a story. I believe it is supposed to be based around a story. Suzy Bogguss If you call a cat, he may not come. Which doesn't happen with dogs. They're different types of animals. Cats are very sexy I think too in the way they move. Antonio Banderas In some ways, with the security challenges this country has faced, we have had to put in rules and regulations for business to be able to sustain their growth and create jobs. Wayne Allard I don't know if I practiced more than anybody, but I sure practiced enough. I still wonder if somebody - somewhere - was practicing more than me. Larry Bird Nonetheless, I sense that it will be the task of the future to somehow synthesize the s...

He went on to obvious success in the States and then I had him support me. It can be a lonely, horrible, hard place. It's great just to have someone to call to say 'I know, man, I was there' Martin Henderson There are days when solitude is a heady wine that intoxicates you with freedom, others when it is a bitter tonic, and still others when it is a poison that makes you beat your head against the wall. Sidonie Gabrielle Colette Stones are checked every so often to see if any have split or at worst exploded. An explosion can leave debris in the elements so the firing has to be abandoned. Andy Goldsworthy I think we are starting to get some information that will allow us to get to the bottom of this, and I hope we continue to work on this until we get to the bottom of it. Collin C. Peterson We should be proud of liberating the 26 million people in Iraq and should remember that this is why it is important to stick it out to it's successful conclusion. Evan Ba...

you've finished a job or where you feel like you've mastered it or sort of nailed it... You can never be satisfied. If you're satisfied, it's time to retire. Alfred Molina Well I was on the one hand, the more I played the guitar the more I began to really love the guitar and to love virtually any kind of music that anybody played well on guitar. John Fahey How do I handle it? I would say more times than not, if I have a bad shot, I just get angry and almost like kill the next one. And it usually works I would say 9 times out of 10. Nancy Johnson The blood and sweat shed by United States and United Nations troops proved to be the prime mover behind the realisation of freedom throughout the post-war period. Kim Young-sam Awards are so unnecessary because I think we get so much out of our work just by doing it. The work is a reward in itself. Natalie Portman Courage is what preserves our liberty, safety, life, and our homes and parents, our country and child...

to get improvisation on TV. It's just like stand-up. It's best when it's just left alone. It doesn't translate always on TV. It's best live. Amy Poehler I'd like my records to reach as many people as possible, but I'm also thinking in terms of how I can keep from getting jaded or unhappy with the process. Will Oldham It is a fine thing to establish one's own religion in one's heart, not to be dependent on tradition and second-hand ideals. Life will seem to you, later, not a lesser, but a greater thing. D. H. Lawrence There's a higher place that I have no illusions about reaching. There's a sophistication and aesthetic about composers who only write only for the music's sake. Bill Conti Our all-volunteer force continues to prove itself with a great level of professionalism, personal commitment and a technical competence that is quite remarkable. Geoff Davis Conflict is the beginning of consciousness. M. Esther Harding Tyr...

screen, there's about 50 people with producer credits, so what's the point. I usually find scripts I like with no money attached and take them to producers that I know and try to raise finance. Tim Roth I didn't make a 147 until few years ago - I just wasn't the sort of player who went for them. But it's like buses I suppose, one comes along and then a few more follow. John Higgins That's a traditional Samoan dance. I was lucky that I was able to fly my cousins, who are professional dancers, up from Hawaii and they were able to be in the movie with me. We had a great time. Dwayne Johnson It was a show that you played at home and you're saying to the contestant do this and do that. When you at home are involved in yelling at the screen, then you know you've got an audience. Monty Hall When I was twenty-two it was a lot harder to get hurt by women. It was easier for me to, you know, cheat on a girlfriend. I can't lie like that anymore. Mat...

by the National Security Agency, the nation's largest and least understood spy organization; but ultimately I worked for private corporations. John Perkins I would feel more optimistic about a bright future for man if he spent less time proving that he can outwit Nature and more time tasting her sweetness and respecting her seniority. E. B. White Fame obviously has become a premium in everybody's life. Everybody thinks they deserve it, everybody thinks they want it and most people really don't enjoy it once they get it. Kelsey Grammer Nature is my manifestation of God. I go to nature every day for inspiration in the day's work. I follow in building the principles which nature has used in its domain. Frank Lloyd Wright Either you repeat the same conventional doctrines everybody is saying, or else you say something true, and it will sound like it's from Neptune. Noam Chomsky To the degree we're not living our dreams, our comfort zone has more contro...

the map, you know, that marked the route of the parade. They had statements from the bus driver and the taxicab driver that hauled him somewhere. Henry Wade It means that the silver coins of the United States at whatever ratio is fixed, and I want the present ratio that we have now, 16 to 1, maintained precisely as it is. Richard Parks Bland A market that's as open as possible is the precondition for a successful economy, and a successful economy is the precondition to being able to pay for social security. Gerhard Schroder It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously. H. L. Mencken Unfaithfulness in the keeping of an appointment is an act of clear dishonesty. You may as well borrow a person's money as his time. Horace Mann What is the primary purpose of a political leader? To build a majority. If voters care about parking lots, then talk a...

It will return to the soil, and there a plant may take it up again in time, sending it once more on a cycle of plant and animal life. Jacob Bronowski A new constitution should be more amendable. A needlessly confusing system of courts should be altered to produce an arrangement that would be simple, responsible, and less awkward. Charles Edison There are reasons for believing that the English increase will far surpass others, and that the diffusion of the United States will ultimately produce the general population of America. Ezra Stiles So, once I get writing I really try and put five to eight hours a day in my room with a guitar to really try and come up with stuff that feels interesting enough to me to keep it. Catie Curtis Nothing more completely baffles one who is full of trick and duplicity, than straightforward and simple integrity in another. Charles Caleb Colton Now our job, our duty, our responsibility to ensure the safety and security of our citizens cannot b...

man, a more mature man, a wiser man, a more humble man and a more spirited man to serve the good of my people and the good of humanity. Louis Farrakhan To restore and keep the public's confidence in the integrity of their government, state government and its officials must be open, honest and transparent. John Lynch I just try to be myself, whatever that is. I don't think about how I'll be remembered. I just want to be consistent over a long period of time. That's what the great players do. Dan Marino The most interesting thing in the world is another human being who wonders, suffers and raises the questions that have bothered him to the last day of his life, knowing he will never get the answers. Will Durant The moral and spiritual aspects of both personal and international relationships have a practical bearing which so-called practical men deny. Henry A. Wallace Whether or not we establish freedom rests with ourselves. Florence Ellinwood Allen You s...

find another way. The moral imperative of humanism is the endeavor alone, whether successful or not, provided the effort is honorable and failure memorable. E. O. Wilson I am not going to answer any questions as to my association, my philosophical or religious beliefs or my political beliefs, or how I voted in any election, or any of these private affairs. Pete Seeger I said, 'Wouldn't it be great if Matt Damon's character fell in love with a girl with a real butt?' They were like, 'Yeah sure, sure - here's your personal trainer.' Franka Potente If anyone wants to know why three kids in one family made it to the big leagues they just had to know how we helped each other and how much we practiced back then. We did it every minute we could. Joe DiMaggio I think it's one of the scars in our culture that we have too high an opinion of ourselves. We align ourselves with the angels instead of the higher primates. Angela Carter Iraq is not occupi...

that they were doing something good, something necessary, something useful - if you want to use a grandiose expression, that they were doing something for peace. Markus Wolf This means keeping many trails open at once, inevitably requiring a fairly 'parallel' plot. This plot should be discovered rather than announced, so show, don't tell. Graham Nelson I believe that nothing happens apart from divine determination and decree. We shall never be able to escape from the doctrine of divine predestination - the doctrine that God has foreordained certain people unto eternal life. Charles Spurgeon For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it. Michelle Pfeiffer The political object is the goal, war is the means of reaching it, and the means can never be considered in isolation from their purposes. Carl von Clausewitz I just cons...

and scoff at it: what say they, if all were of your mind; what should become of us? Shall we be always poring on our corruptions? Thomas Hooker I wanna change the game in way where I'm not knocking nobody out of the way, not claiming to be the best at this or that, but just doing wonders with the gift I've been given. Anthony Hamilton We do not support the man. We do not support the individual. We support the idea of independent revolution in the Western Hemisphere, free from American intervention. Lee Harvey Oswald A lot of companies have chosen to downsize, and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers, they would continue to open their wallets. Steve Jobs Too much good fortune can make you smug and unaware. Happiness should be like an oasis, the greener for the desert that surrounds it. Rachel Field Neither should a ship rely on one small anchor, nor should li...

women don't enjoy each other very much in Australia. I don't find very many men sexy in Australia. Of course, I'm married and out of it, but still. Judy Davis We asked ourselves and the world to base decisions on good science, and I really believe the United States can be the leader in delivering that message to our international trading partners. Mike Johanns Preaching is effective as long as the preacher expects something to happen-not because of the sermon, not even because of the preacher, but because of God. John Hines You know, this is a business where only 15% make a living wage and only 9% of those are women. But I figured somebody has to be that 15%, somebody's got to be one of those women. Marcia Wallace Family trips to Yellowstone and to what are now national parks in Southern Utah, driving the primitive roads and cars of that day, were real adventures. Paul D. Boyer The dread of criticism is the death of genius. William Gilmore Simms A mask...

reservation, the more I appreciate and sympathize with a given disease. The body no longer appears as a sick or irrational demon, but as a process with its own inner logic and wisdom. George MacDonald This land, which we have watered with our tears and our blood, is now our mother country, and we are well satisfied to stay where wisdom abounds and gospel is free. Richard V. Allen Our focus needs to be on freeing dissidents and continuing to support the opposition movement within Cuba - not rewarding Castro and subsidizing and strengthening his totalitarian regime. Mel Martinez While it may take generations of nurturing, nations founded on and grounded in freedom will eventually overcome and prosper. Once free, folks rarely accept anything less, and that includes Iraqis. Trent Lott We live in deeds, not years; in thoughts, not figures on a dial. We should count time by heart throbs. He most lives who thinks most, feels the noblest, acts the best. Philip James Bailey The T...

Paul Gleason The happiness of your life depends upon the quality of your thoughts: therefore, guard accordingly, and take care that you entertain no notions unsuitable to virtue and reasonable nature. Marcus Aurelius Clinton used to like to get out of the White House a lot. He would take night trips to McDonald's, and stuff like that. I think he wanted to get out of the house. Paul Thomas Anderson Genius, scholar, and war hero though he is, you have to admit - or maybe you should think about admitting - that George Bush might have rushed things a little in invading Iraq. Alan Colmes I know these jokes aren't great, ladies and gentlemen, see this is the problem you run into when you're between impeachments. David Letterman On one issue at least, men and women agree; they both distrust women. James Russell Lowell It's not too good to have this att...

10 years or something. I do it because I think I can do a good job of something and I'll enjoy it, do it, and sort of vanish. I don't want to be an actor for hire. Paul Hogan It seems to me that socialists today can preserve their position in academic economics merely by the pretense that the differences are entirely moral questions about which science cannot decide. Friedrich August von Hayek What the statesman is most anxious to produce is a certain moral character in his fellow citizens, namely a disposition to virtue and the performance of virtuous actions. Aristotle Benji usually tries to match his hair with his underwear, and you know how he had the pink hair for a while well we caught him in a pink thong one day! Joel Madden Do not have evil-doers for friends, do not have low people for friends: have virtuous people for friends, have for friends the best of men. George Santayana If someone is interested in medicine and also in physics and they like working...

is far more than about the freedom of one country, but it really is about the stability and security of the region and the national security interests of the United States. Mel Martinez I'm just kind of taking a break now and enjoying the freedom of making my own choices. When you're on a television show for six years, they run your schedule. Andrew Shue There is no doubt that, with the exception of a very small number of people close to a vicious regime, the people of Iraq have been liberated and they understand that they've been liberated. Richard Perle Dachshunds are ideal dogs for small children, as they are already stretched and pulled to such a length that the child cannot do much harm one way or the other. Robert Benchley I got a part as a chorus girl in a show called Every Sailor and I had fun doing it. Mother didn't really approve of it, through. James Cagney I haven't got as much money as some folks, but I've got as much impudence as any...

professed for it, for all the celebrations it has been the object of in prose and song, the sea has never been friendly to man. At most it has been the accomplice of human restlessness. Joseph Conrad Undoubtedly, there are members of the former regime that are cooperating in some fashion and then there are extremists that are within Iraq that are cooperating with them. John Abizaid We cannot and will not ban the creation of violent video games. But, we can prevent the distribution of these disturbing games to children, where their effects can be negative. Herb Kohl The past is only the present become invisible and mute; and because it is invisible and mute, its memorized glances and its murmurs are infinitely precious. We are tomorrow's past. Mary Webb Actually just recently I came up with that idea, watching the movie 'Legally Blonde' and I was like, 'Cool, that's something I want to do.' Lisa Leslie The car business is a lot like football. In fo...

other way.' You have to decide and it's a very strong decision because, would you sleep well knowing that you're living in the best place, but you're letting the place where you should live alone? Gael Garcia Bernal I'm a little skeptical about using the Constitution this way, but I also believe marriage is between a man and a woman and that the courts shouldn't legislate this matter. Pete Coors It is important that gang members are aware that if they engage in aggravated assault, maiming, kidnapping, or manslaughter that they will receiving a minimum sentence of 30 years. Albert Wynn First there was the New Hampshire primary, and we had nearly a year leading up to it. And now, look! Three primaries in one weekend! How many of these things are they going to have? Ed Helms It makes no sense to talk of the social obligations of the corporation without reference to its economic obligations. The two are intertwined. Lee R. Raymond I wish to have no co...

makes us contented with that situation in life in which God, in his infinite mercy, has seen fit to place us, to be perfectly resigned to our lot in life, whatever it may be. Ann Plato I went to Concord, a young woman from the backwoods, firm in belief that Emerson was the first of living men. He was the modern Moses who had talked with God apart and could interpret Him to us. Rebecca Harding Davis But, if you believe we should go around the world overturning regimes to make little United States, I don't agree with that, because I don't think we're capable of doing that. Brent Scowcroft Yeah, I do feel badly sometimes, not for whose coming up and getting roles I'm not right for anymore but the people I compete with, who range from Uma Thurman on up. Kelly Lynch It was a kind of paralysis you would get from tendonitis and I would last about five to ten minutes into the set and it would set in and I really couldn't play. Leo Kottke I'm not intereste...

violence clear, that the violence we experience in our own homes is not a personal family matter, it's a public and political problem. It's a way that women are kept in line, kept in our places. Patricia Ireland In the 21st century when few of us stay in the same job all our lives, I would like to think there was flexibility so teachers could become social workers, or foster carers become teachers. Estelle Morris Sometime in the future - 25, 50, 75 years hence - what will the situation be like then? By that time the Chinese will have the capability of delivery too. Curtis LeMay I was no chief and never had been, but because I had been more deeply wronged than others, this honor was conferred upon me, and I resolved to prove worthy of the trust. Geronimo He makes a great mistake... who supposes that authority is firmer or better established when it is founded by force than that which is welded by affection. Terence The fundamental defect of fathers, in our competi...

in tasks of war. While we are yet at peace, let us mobilize the potentialities, particularly the moral and spiritual potentialities, which we usually reserve for war. John Foster Dulles I am one who believes that we are, in fact, engaged in a worldwide war against terrorism. We must have the serenity to accept the fact that war is not going to go away if we ignore it. Robert Foster Bennett Anyone who cannot come to terms with his life while he is alive needs one hand to ward off a little his despair over his fate... but with his other hand he can note down what he sees among the ruins. Franz Kafka All my life as an artist I have asked myself: What pushes me continually to make sculpture? I have found the answer. art is an action against death. It is a denial of death. Jacques Lipchitz We used to wonder where war lived, what it was that made it so vile. And now we realize that we know where it lives... inside ourselves. Albert Camus I can't tell you how important it w...

necessary but obviously not decisive step on the road of self-determination leading to full self-government. Dick Thornburgh I mean that what makes me a professional, but the market itself has been fabulous during this whole period and I've got to give the market credit before I give myself credit. Jim Cramer This issue, if not addressed, leaves any President, including George Bush, open to the criticism that they are essentially ignoring the destruction of the nation and I believe that with all my heart. Tom Tancredo Just look at the messages today's media are sending everybody, from TV and commercials to actors and singers. Kids are just drowning in that 24-7 and it's getting really bad. Evan Rachel Wood Love has features which pierce all hearts, he wears a bandage which conceals the faults of those beloved. He has wings, he comes quickly and flies away the same. Voltaire There was a time when we expected nothing of our children but obedience, as opposed to...

Ray Combs Why is it not just as likely that there were as many small general nearly at first as now, and as great a disproportion in the number of their species? Asa Gray Everybody sort of questioned why we get married on New Year's Day, and of course, the avid sports fans wouldn't come, because they had to watch the Rose Bowl or whatever that is on that day. Yeardley Smith The man who has no money is poor, but one who has nothing but money is poorer. He only is rich who can enjoy without owning; he is poor who though he has millions is covetous.

Castle In today's world, it is no longer unimaginable to th...

what the government needs to do is it needs to make sure that the pricing is fair, that you don't have monopolies out there, so that people don't have a chance to compete fairly. Dan Glickman Lawyers enjoy a little mystery, you know. Why, if everybody came forward and told the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth straight out, we should all retire to the workhouse. Dorothy L. Sayers Despite our high rate of unemployment, 300,000 jobs go unfilled largely because many of the unemployed lack the skills needed today as a result of technological progress. Kim Campbell I try to write everyday. I do that much better over here than when I'm teaching. I always rewrite, usually fairly close-on which is to say first draft, then put it aside for 24 hours then more drafts. Marilyn Hacker Thus the metric system did not really catch on in the States, unless you count the increasing popularity of the nine-millimeter bullet. Dave Barry Like many rich men, he thou...

the favors He has bestowed, and enabled you with pure hearts and hands and sleepless vigilance, to guard and defend to the end of time, the great charge He has committed to your keeping. J. Reuben Clark The grandest of all laws is the law of progressive development. Under it, in the wide sweep of things, men grow wiser as they grow older, and societies better. Christian Nestell Bovee Their families helped them realize that there was more out there for them. These students came to Delaware State because of its inexpensive tuition, closeness to home, and solid reputation. Michael N. Castle There is something basic about protecting land by taking it off the market. People should be able to enjoy where they live while at the same time protect the plants and animals around them. Tom Hanks There is hardly an activity that a person can think about that does not intrinsically involve energy, most of which is currently provided by fossil fuels. Lee R. Raymond Why is America such ...

Josh Ryan Evans If the Soviet Union and the United States have not experienced direct military confrontations, on the other hand, they supported, armed and trained Africans, to fight other Africans. Omar Bongo The people I want are very famous and very rich, and all I can offer them is a bit of exposure on TV and a bit of cash, so it's a miracle we get any guests at all. But we have been very lucky. Graham Norton I start a lot more songs than I finish, because I realize when I get into them, they're no good. I don't throw them away, I just put them away, store them, get them out of sight. Johnny Cash Every book has some real life in it. I was never pursued by an evil twin clone, but everything else in MR. MURDER was pretty much out of my own life. Dean Koontz The average Hol...

Breckin Meyer I believe that reforming our intelligence community is one of the most important things that we can do in order to ensure that our country is in fact safer, stronger and wiser. Richard Shelby I meet many people, I talk with them, like a TV show host. I show what's going on with Greenpeace, interesing political things, I have artists, musicians and bands. Nina Hagen The market came with the dawn of civilization and it is not an invention of capitalism. If it leads to improving the well-being of the people there is no contradiction with socialism. Mikhail Gorbachev You can't get real happy or real depressed when you play baseball. Baseball is a great sport in that it offers a player a lot of opportunities for atonement. Mike Piazza It is not strange... to mistake change for progress. Mill...

these countries have caught up to our level of prosperity, it is time for them to catch up to our level of openness. Lawrence Summers From kindergarten to graduation, I went to public schools, and I know that they are a key to being sure that every child has a chance to succeed and to rise in the world. Dick Cheney Augustine does not disagree with this when he teaches that it is a faculty of the reason and the will to choose good with the assistance of grace; evil, when grace is absent.

On the contrary, I believe there will be a gradual diminution in this respect. William Watson I adopt a very simple approach. I observe and reflect real life and ordinary people and sooner or later that raises a laugh. Alberto Sordi Don't forget Mother's Day. Or as they call it in Beverly Hills, Dad's Third Wife Day.

were home, we were part of the family, not a TV star. And the other thing: my father was fully employed while I was doing the series. Jerry Mathers The tone did take on a negativity that I didn't like and when you make the decision to go the other way as we did it very directly had an impact, you can see it with the tracking. Scott McCallum For hundreds of years Iranians have been migrating to many parts of the world. They took Islamic culture to other parts of the world and established it there. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad Poetry has the virtue of being able to say twice as much as prose in half the time, and the drawback, if you do not give it your full attention, of seeming to say half as much in twice the time. Christopher Fry Sexual, racial, gender violence and other forms of discrimination and violence in a culture cannot be eliminated without changing culture. Charlotte Bunch Subdue your appetites, my dears, and you've conquered human nature . Dorothy Canfield Fi...

Middle Eastern origin, bearing Muslim names. Again, shame. This fuels more hatred for a religion and a people who have nothing to do with these events. Cat Stevens At times, we were forced to go through a history of dependence, unable to determine our own destiny. But today, we are at the threshold of a new turning point. Roh Moo-hyun All partisan movements add to the fullness of our understanding of society as a whole. They never detract; or, in any case, one must not allow them to do so. Experience adds to experience. Alice Walker A community is a group of people who have come together, and they work and they live to try and improve the standard of living and quality of life - and I don't mean money. William Baldwin What office is there which involves more responsibility, which requires more qualifications, and which ought, therefore, to be more honorable, than that of teaching? Harriet Martineau And more importantly, I wouldn't be the person I am today, I woul...

much. I can see myself doing it. In England, one feels all the social restraints holding one back. But here, anything can happen. W. H. Auden We should be exploring consciousness at the neural level and higher, where the arrow of causal analysis points up toward such principles as emergence and self-organization. Michael Shermer I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face. Caleb Carr The ecclesiastical establishments of Europe which serve to support tyrannical governments are not the Christian religion but abuses and corruptions of it. Noah Webster The shallow consider liberty a release from all law, from every constraint. The wise man sees in it, on the contrary, the potent Law of Laws. Walt Whitman It's a funny old world.

You go to bed in one kind of a world and wake up in another quite different, and if this is not enchantment then where is it to be found? J. B. Priestley My point is that, over the years, I've taught five thousand people acting and lately I have a lot of energy on these kids, having the same break I had as a high school girl. Sally Kirkland You're looking for players whose name on the front of the sweater is more important than the one on the back. I look for these players to play hard, to play smart and to represent their country. Herb Brooks Ours is the century of enforced travel of disappearances. The century of people helplessly seeing others, who were close to them, disappear over the horizon. John Berger That crossover of whether it's entertainment or news is the biggest crock of b.s. in television today, because it's all entertainment. Vince McMahon There is no formula to making it to the NFL other than good fortune and and playing well in college....

Jenny Agutter I always work the same way, starting from the beginning of the weekend, so I know at the beginning of the race, from all that I have analysed during the practice, whether I will win the race or not. Alain Prost You can always amend a big plan, but you can never expand a little one. I don't believe in little plans. I believe in plans big enough to meet a situation which we can't possibly foresee now. Harry S Truman Country radio certainly widens the boundaries of what I can do. Other artists may do something more edgy that gets on radio and that opens the door for me to be more edgy, I think. Clint Black What keeps you going isn't some fine destination but just the road you're on, and the fact that you know how to drive. Barbara Kingsolver I'm a hypochondriac. Yesterday it was brain da...

everyone could participate and even though everything had to be translated into about four different languages it never became boring. After a while the meeting broke up and everyone went for food. John Blair There was a lot of Southern Baptist preachers and some yelling ones but mostly we had a pastor who didn't scream and I found a lot of comfort and joy and peace as a child hearing the Bible. Victoria Jackson For me the greatest source of income is still movies. Nothing - stocks, financial speculation, real estate speculation or businesses - makes more money for me than making movies. Jackie Chan What we think of as our sensitivity is only the higher evolution of terror in a poor dumb beast. We suffer for nothing. Our own death wish is our only real tragedy. Mario Puzo The only one that seems to be able to hold the business is Disney. They do it is because they have a fabulous philosophy about marketing- but even they wavered. Don Bluth I don't have a girlfrie...

difficult job was to develop the cartoon's unnatural but seemingly natural anatomy for humans and animals. Walt Disney Coercion may prevent many transgressions; but it robs even actions which are legal of a part of their beauty. Freedom may lead to many transgressions, but it lends even to vices a less ignoble form. Wilhelm von Humboldt Tax reform and expanded trade are going to be so important to the economy of Illinois, particularly the 11th Congressional District, which is a major manufacturing and a major agricultural district. Jerry Weller Our history is that we can very aggressively, if necessary, and openly and democratically discuss our differences. We have a democratic history in which we come together and vote on these things.

Harrison Salisbury A man who works with his hands is a laborer; a man who works with his hands and his brain is a craftsman; but a man who works with his hands and his brain and his heart is an artist. Louis Nizer The rise of King Crimson was so fast that, to me, it felt as if it was going out of control. And it was going so fast that I couldn't keep up with what was happening. Michael Giles A loss never bothers me after I take it. I forget it overnight. But being wrong - not taking the loss - that is what does damage to the pocketbook and to the soul. Jesse Livermore The Church does not pretend to be scientists. It teaches based upon what science tells it. Wel...

be sitting in that chair where you've got 12 people that are in control of your life. You have an opportunity to be in control of your life for yourself by the decisions that you make. Sean Combs There is a point at which the law becomes immoral and unethical. That point is reached when it becomes a cloak for the cowardice that dares not stand up against blatant violations of justice. Kurt Huber This was a result of a number of factors, but we do know that the messages kids get about the harms of drugs has a significant impact on their decision on whether or not to use.

Salvador Dali It is fortunate that diplomats have long noses since they usu...

Hannah Arendt Feast of the Holy Cross Does not every man feel, that there is corruption enough within him to drive him to the commission of the greatest enormities, and eternally to destroy his soul? Charles Simeon I hope that the mistakes made and suffering imposed upon Japanese Americans nearly 60 years ago will not be repeated against Arab Americans whose loyalties are now being called into question. Daniel Inouye Social Security is not just the foundation of America's retirement dignity and security, it ensures the economic stability and strength of our families and our state's economy. Debbie Stabenow In the Top 40, half the songs are secret messages to the teen world to drop out, turn on, and groove with the chemicals and light shows at discotheques. Art Linkletter As a religion, bilingualism is the god that failed. It has led to no fairnes...

brunt of not one but two hurricanes, and it appears more dark clouds are poised to visit the Sunshine State. Ginny Brown-Waite Men weren't really the enemy - they were fellow victims suffering from an outmoded masculine mystique that made them feel unnecessarily inadequate when there were no bears to kill. Betty Friedan Live all you can; it's a mistake not to. It doesn't so much matter what you do in particular, so long as you have your life. If you haven't had that what have you had? Henry James I didn't come from a background where I saw a lot of loving couples. All my aunts and uncles were either split up or fighting all the time. The only healthy relationships I saw were on TV. George Lopez If a terrorist group wanted to hit Britain, all they'd have to do is kill 100 random celebrities. The country would have a nervous breakown. Chris Morris Most artists like to think of themselves as rugged individualists, as independent characters. Jack Lev...

So I still think of summer as the best time to read for fun. Margaret Haddix Personally, one of the down sides of founding a company is that there is always too much work to do, and sadly I find I don't have much time to code any more. Eric Allman Quarrel? Nonsense; we have not quarreled. If one is not to get into a rage sometimes, what is the good of being friends? George Eliot A chair is a very difficult object. A skyscraper is almost easier. That is why Chippendale is famous. Ludwig Mies van der Rohe The same parts of my brain get a...

vows. But they are the ones who weep when you're gone. Who miss you every single night, especially when the sky is so deep and beautiful, and the ground so very cold. Alice Hoffman It's a Fox thing, the bad-boy image. They're trying to type me out. There are worse things in life, you know. I'm just really excited about the opportunity. Ben McKenzie Method is more important than strength, when you wish to control your enemies. By dropping golden beads near a snake, a crow once managed To have a passer-by kill the snake for the beads. Henry Wadsworth Longfellow For a while, even in the house of good friends for dinner or for cocktails, they would really be upset. They thought I had single-handedly destroyed the best phone service in the world. Harold H. Greene The Medicaid system currently steers people toward nursing home care. Far more people can be covered in community-based care programs for significantly less. Ed Rendell I'm still growing I take ea...

who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares. Henri Nouwen If we knew exactly the laws of nature and the situation of the universe at the initial moment, we could predict exactly the situation of the same universe at a succeeding moment. Henri Poincare The system of domination is founded on depriving nations of their true identity. It seeks to deprive nations of their culture, identity, self-confidence and in this way dominate them. Mahmoud Ahmadinejad The trouble with most comedians who try to do satire is that they are essentially brash, noisy and indelicate people who have to use a sledge hammer to smash a butterfly. Imogene Coca You are an extremely valuable, worthwhile, significant person even though your present circumstances may have you feeling otherwise. James Newman I really need to be alone. I can't deal with someone sleeping next to me. John Lone I have n...

machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able rightly to apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question. Charles Babbage In New York there isn't that weird palpable competitive thing where it's friendly but everyone isn't trying to top one another with jokes when you're just hanging around. David Cross I'm like the universe; either expanding or contracting at any given moment. The most that I had put on was about 35, 36 pounds, and I've taken all of that off. Sean Astin Opinions are to the vast apparatus of social existence what oil is to machines: one does not go up to a turbine and pour machine oil over it; one applies a little to hidden spindles and joints that one has to know. Walter Benjamin I'm not wedded to covering the markets. I'm intrigued by the markets. If I can connect Main Street with Wall Street, then I've succeeded. Neil Cavuto I liked his ability to deal with a ...

knows, he doesn't know. So I suppose one definition of an expert would be someone who doesn't admit out loud that he knows enough about a subject to know he doesn't really know how much. Malcolm Forbes To conquer the command of the air means victory; to be beaten in the air means defeat and acceptance of whatever terms the enemy may be pleased to impose. Giulio Douhet You expect far too much of a first sentence. Think of it as analogous to a good country breakfast: what we want is something simple, but nourishing to the imagination. Larry McMurtry There is no gender identity behind the expressions of gender... identity is performatively constituted by the very 'expressions' that are said to be its results. Judith Butler Just as the body goes into shock after a physical trauma, so does the human psyche go into shock after the impact of a major loss. Anne Grant Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual g...

David Crosby We aim in the domain of politics at republicanism; in the domain of economics at socialism; in the domain of what is today called religion, at atheism. August Bebel I was in Asia and people asked me about being considered sex symbol. I don't know if that's good or not, because where I come from, sex isn't something you're allowed to talk about. Bai Ling If you've lost focus, just sit down and be still. Take the idea and rock it to and fro. Keep some of it and throw some away, and it will renew itself. You need do no more. Clarissa Pinkola Estes In criticism I will be bold, and as sternly, absolutely just with friend and foe. From this purpose nothing shall turn me. Edgar Allan Poe I have the world's largest collection of seashells. I keep it on all the beaches of the world... perhaps you've seen it. Ste...

Phil Mickelson Knowledge is what we get when an observer, preferably a scientifically trained observer, provides us with a copy of reality that we can all recognize. Christopher Lasch I was well aware of the fact that once you appeared in Doctor Who as something else, you were ruled out for the part of the Doctor: that was a kind of well known thing in the business. Colin Baker There is in every woman's heart a spark of heavenly fire which lies dormant in the broad daylight of prosperity, but which kindles up and beams and blazes in the dark hour of adversity. Washington Irving My mother was the influence in my life. She was strong; she had great faith in the ultimate triumph of justice and hard work. She believed passionately in education. John H.

I wanted to solve the Defense Department's problem: it did not want proprietary networking and it didn't want to be confined to a single network technology. Vint Cerf These tapes have been found, which were taken from the desk and various bootlegs. At the time we never got to hear them, they didn't seem to be available or they just got put to one side. Michael Giles My experience has shown me that the people who are exceptionally good in business aren't so because of what they know but because of their insatiable need to know more. Michael Gerber My background is in hardware design. I found hardware work to be a welcome change from thousands of hours of programming and that led to the designs you mentioned. David Crane Those who dare to interpret God's will must never claim Him as an asset for one nation or group rather than another. Robert Runcie Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentless...

murderer decides that this person has gone too far, and nothing will happen to him unless she does something to stop him. Donna Leon I've always said when I broke in I was an average player. I had an average arm, average speed and definitely an average bat. I am still average in all of those. Brooks Robinson When you're doing a play you get to go full speed ahead, all night, in front of an audience. It's a roller-coaster ride, responding to other actors, it feeds you. Sean Patrick Thomas In America the majority raises formidable barriers around the liberty of opinion; within these barriers an author may write what he pleases, but woe to him if he goes beyond them. Alexis de Tocqueville But if you love animals for all the right reasons- and that's just love and affection- then you're going to go after animals who need you. Eric Roberts Stop being a vegan and start enjoying what you eat. Jamie Oliver You know, no one steered people's careers in t...

just one switch on my bass, it has three positions, and I usually boost the mid-range frequency, I lowered the frequency that I boost, and that goes out to the sound system, too. Mike Gordon Humanitarian missions are little different from any other public enterprise, diplomacy included, which is susceptible of misinterpretation by the public, hence ultimately of failure. Alvin Adams Even if you're specific about the character of the song, it's more exciting to place them, juxtapose them in such a way as to make an adventure out of the sequence of the songs. Robert Wyatt The prime goal is to alleviate suffering, and not to prolong life. And if your treatment does not alleviate suffering, but only prolongs life, that treatment should be stopped.

Bruce Barton It always takes longer than you expect, even if you take Hofs...

devour gross peasant dishes, mostly composed of garlic and tomatoes, or fisherman's octopus and shrimps, fried in heavily scented olive oil on a little deserted beach. Luigi Barzini Then if your movie clicks with real audiences, you'll be sucked into some sort of Hollywood orbit. It's a devil of a place where the only religion that really counts is box office. Yahoo Serious Deep down, the US, with its space, its technological refinement, its bluff good conscience, even in those spaces which it opens up for simulation, is the only remaining primitive society. Jean Baudrillard It was amazing that during rehearsals, without any of the costume on, the character was there complete. It just happened. Half the time, I didn't know I was doing it. Peter Mayhew There are many selfish people who are extremely original, then they take those pure ideas and use them to raise themselves up, that is an insincere move. Daniel Smith Love is like the measles; we all have to...

and started traveling all over the world before I did. He showed me by example that it could be done, and I'll always love him for that. Frank Morgan My father died. It is still a deep regret to me this day that in choosing acting as my career I was forced to hurt him. He died too early to see I had done the right, the only thing. Conrad Veidt My husband came up to Hot Rocks to check up on me, why is still unknown to me because if I was to cheat on him it wouldn't be in a neighborhood bar where he knows I am. Kim Mathers There is that indescribable freshness and unconsciousness about an illiterate person that humbles and mocks the power of the noblest expressive genius. Walt Whitman Out in the lonely woods the jasmine burns Its fragrant lamps, and turns Into a royal court with green festoons The banks of dark lagoons. Henry Timrod I don't think anyone has a normal family. Edward Furlong If somebody doesn't have enough judgment to be able to look at pla...

Paul Kane But when it really happens I'm very fascinated, I'm waiting for the moment, because the moment where life abandons you and death steps in, that moment must be fantastic, no? Nastassja Kinski A film is - or should be - more like music than like fiction. It should be a progression of moods and feelings. The theme, what's behind the emotion, the meaning, all that comes later. Stanley Kubrick In classical oil painting, there seemed to be a radical turn to seeing things as the camera sees them, with that technological modification. I began to have a tremendous problem with all of this. Henry Flynt Would it be possible that I should not in any degree succeed? I can scarcely think so. Ah delusive hope, how much further wilt thou lead me? John James Audubon I'll leave it to others t...

not a great occasion, you don't get a great statesman; if Lincoln had lived in a time of peace, no one would have known his name. Theodore Roosevelt Holding on to anger, resentment and hurt only gives you tense muscles, a headache and a sore jaw from clenching your teeth. Forgiveness gives you back the laughter and the lightness in your life. Joan Lunden No intelligent man believes that anybody ever willingly errs or willingly does base and evil deeds; they are well aware that all who do base and evil things do them unwillingly. Protagoras People didn't wasn't the People's party to come in to power again, so they saw NS a viable alternative not us, because everyone knew we were not ready. Imran Khan As the society has gotten larger and more complex, individuals have lost their ability to influence any of the institutions that affect their lives.

is the bad way, when you sort of give up, and then there is the really hard way, when you fight back. I went the hard way and came out of it okay. Now, I'm sitting here and doing great. Matthew Perry It struck me that what I'd heard about certain celebrities was true: they had It, whatever the hell It was. Star power isn't a myth; it is tangible and forceful. Michael Bergin 'Jackass: The Movie' is great. I think it's in the tradition of physical comedy, which I'm really interested in. Its relationship to gravity, and how gravity acts on the body. Matthew Barney My next film is always shaped by the last one... by the things I feel I didn't get right, or the things I like and want to try to develop further, but it always comes out of the last picture. Robert Benton People with clear, written goals, accomplish far more in a shorter period of time than people without them could ever imagine. Brian Tracy I can't imagine anything more worthw...
