Walter F. Mondale quotes

What do we want our kids to do? Sweep up around Japanese computers?

If you are sure you understand everything that is going on, you are hopelessly confused.

Famous quote by Drew Barrymore

I love hugging. I wish I was an octopus, so I could hug ten people at a time.

Helen Reddy quotes

It took so long to make it in America. The year I arrived was a bad year for women singers, the record company told me. So I starved. I lived in a hotel so dreadful I can't even talk about it.

There is no magic person out there, no perfect human being out there waiting for you.

I was looking for a husband, but meanwhile to survive, I had to work.

There is a wealth of twentieth century music that is being re-discovered by a generation that hasn't heard it.

Three-quarters of the world's population doesn't have enough to eat!

Top 5 quotes by Puff Daddy

It is going to be changed to straight P. Diddy. You could call me P. or Diddy, or P. Diddy. I just want something fresh, man.

I've got to take a break, to be honest. I'm not even going to lie.

I think that's good that I have to watch how I act and what I say. I think that's a part of growing up.

I'm hyperactive, and I went in the studio and I would just start making records, for no reason.

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.

Shane MacGowan quotes

When I'm writing a song, it gives me more actual pleasure to hear someone else sing it than do it meself.

I've been here all the time; I could be putting out as many albums as Costello, y'know what I mean?

My dad has no control over who works with me. Me, me and me alone has to take responsibility for anything.

I drink because I'm thirsty.

What I do is I'm a bandleader, frontman, entertainer.

Edward Irving quotes

I have thoroughly gone through the subject of the Incarnation; and if it served you, could at any time give you the history from the beginning of the controversies on this subject, and of its present form.

The thing which grieves and oppresses my heart with respect to poor Scotland, is the hardness of heart manifest in the levity and cruelty with which they speak of others.

The state of my poor boy's health prevents me from leaving home for a night.

I perceive two things in Scotland of the most fearful omen: ignorance of theological truth, and a readiness to pride themselves in and boast of it.

The Evangelical party in the Church of Scotland will lay all flat if they be not prevented.

Nice quote by Ruth Fulton Benedict

In world history, those who have helped to build the same culture are not necessarily of one race, and those of the same race have not all participated in one culture.

Leverett Saltonstall quotes

My family for several generations have been members of the Unitarian Church.

I have always felt that a man's religion was his personal and private affair.

I have the utmost respect for the different faiths professed by my fellow men.

I have confidence that the Unitarian Church will steadily grow and will help to sustain many of my fellow citizens in these important days that lie ahead of us.

Too many of my Senate colleagues overdid it. They stayed on too long - napping through committee hearings when they should have packed up and gone home.

Anthony Burgess quotes

The downtrodden, who are the great creators of slang.

Women thrive on novelty and are easy meat for the commerce of fashion. Men prefer old pipes and torn jackets.

Laugh and the world laughs with you, snore and you sleep alone.

Life is a wretched gray Saturday, but it has to be lived through.

All human life is here, but the Holy Ghost seems to be somewhere else.

Top 5 quotes by Leon Kass

Almost everybody is enthusiastic about the promise of biotechnology to cure disease and to relieve suffering.

Genetics is crude, but neuroscience goes directly to work on the brain, and the mind follows.

We do restrict so-called reproductive freedom. We do not allow polygamy, we do not allow incest, we do not allow the buying and selling of babies.

The neuroscience area - which is absolutely in its infancy - is much more important than genetics.

In cloning, in contrast, reproduction is asexual - the cloned child is the product not of two but of one.

Top 5 quotes by Meir Kahane

Let us not suffer from a national amnesia that causes us to forget who and what we are.

Today, Jewish defense is an accepted thing.

I see all this and know that if we are to save the Jewish state and its three-and-a-half million Jews from terrible horrors, we must rise up and demand a fundamental change in the very system of government.

One of the great problems with Americans is that - being a decent people - they assume that everyone else is equally decent.

The Jewish nation is indeed, the heart of the world and there is no reason for the existence of empires, kings, rulers, masses or systems aside from their reaction to the Jewish people.

Top 5 quotes by Richard Neal

Trade can really be good for American workers and American businesses.

Inherited wealth, that is not what America is based upon.

But what is striking about this, in a town that often talks about tax cuts, we could quite easily, Republicans and Democrats working together, do something that everybody in America desires, and that is a simplification of our Tax Code.

People really have to believe in their tax system. They have to believe that there is an equitable distribution of the burden, but there is also an important investment based upon the potential achievements that come from us paying our taxes.

Many injuries and deaths can be prevented through an understanding of the dangers of power lines, electrical appliances, extension cords, and lightning.

Quote by Caroline Sheridan Norton

We have been friends together
In sunshine and in shade.

Quote by Edward Coke

Quotes by Simone Veil

Culture is an instrument wielded by professors to manufacture professors, who when their turn comes will manufacture professors.

Pain is the root of knowledge.

Satyajit Ray quotes

At the age when Bengali youth almost inevitably writes poetry, I was listening to European classical music.

The director is the only person who knows what the film is about.

There is a ban on Indian films in Pakistan, so that's half of our market gone.

I wouldn't mind taking a rest for three or four months, but I have to keep on making films for the sake of my crew, who just wait for the next film because they're not on a fixed salary.

Ever since Two Daughters I've been composing my own music.

Top 5 quotes by Eric Cantona

We knew that you don't get to be world champions without a struggle.

In football you have an adversary; in cinema that adversary is yourself.

I started beach football in Monte Carlo when I retired from football in 1997. I liked the game very much.

Sometimes you get submerged by emotion. I think it's very important to express it - which doesn't necessarily mean hitting someone.

We won the European Championship last September and now the world title. That is some year for French beach soccer! Now comes the hard part. We have to keep improving and that's difficult because it's tough to do better than winning a world title.

Quotes by Edward Coke

We should speak as the populace but think as the learned.

Precaution is better than cure.

Corporations cannot commit treason, or be outlawed or excommunicated, for they have no souls.

One threatens the innocent who spares the guilty.

Michelangelo quotes

I have never felt salvation in nature. I love cities above all.

Lord, let me always desire more then I think I can do.

A man paints with his brains and not with his hands.

Everything hurts.

Genius is eternal patience.

Top 5 quotes by Mother Teresa

If we have no peace, it is because we have forgotten that we belong to each other.

Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love, how to forget out of humility. So let us examine our hearts and see if there is any unforgiven hurt - any unforgotten bitterness! It is easy to love those who are far away. It isn't always easy to love those who are right next to us. It is easier to offer food to the hungry than to answer the lonely suffering of someone who lacks love right in one's own family. The world today is upside down because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life. We have no time for each other. Everybody is in such a terrible rush, and so anxious ... and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world.

Even the rich are hungry for love, for being cared for, for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.

The hunger for love is much more difficult to remove than the hunger for bread.

Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.

Top 5 quotes by Isabelle Adjani

One believes that if nothing happens, one disappears. That is not true.

One can not love without opening oneself, and opening oneself, that's taking the risk of suffering. One does not have control.

To change, that is the most difficult thing to accomplish.

I do not want to work to correspond to an image.

I have no fear of being less beautiful, I've always been afraid of not being beautiful.

Famous quote by Charlie Lau

There are two theories on hitting the knuckleball. Unfortunately, neither of them work.

Top 5 quotes by Ray Davies

I was an art student at the time, like thousands of others.

No one can penetrate me. They only see what's in their own fancy, always.

What I try to do probably doesn't come out. What I've worked out what I do - I might not be right - is to do something very personal, and then suddenly I look at it, up in the air. I blow it up and look at it and then I come down again - a better man.

I got that idea from being in India. I always like the chanting.

I think that songwriting changed when groups started spending more time in the studio.

Harvey Fierstein quotes

Beware of anyone who says they know. Trust me, they don't, or they wouldn't have to say they did.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Queen Victoria quotes

I would venture to warn against too great intimacy with artists as it is very seductive and a little dangerous.

A marriage is no amusement but a solemn act, and generally a sad one.

An ugly baby is a very nasty object - and the prettiest is frightful.

The Queen is most anxious to enlist everyone in checking this mad, wicked folly of 'Women's Rights'. It is a subject which makes the Queen so furious that she cannot contain herself.

When I think of a merry, happy, free young girl - and look at the ailing, aching state a young wife generally is doomed to - which you can't deny is the penalty of marriage.

Quote by Russell Long

Tax reform means, 'Don't tax you, don't tax me. Tax that fellow behind the tree.'

Janis Ian quotes

I've always been an avid reader. If I don't have a book in the car, I'll stop and pick one up just to have something to read. I don't even remember learning to read.

At the end of the day, all you can hope for is to go on. The older I get, the more I realize that just keeping on keeping on is what life's all about.

Once you're halfway home, you know that you can probably get the rest of the way there.

I learned the truth at seventeen, That love was meant for beauty queens, And high school girls with clear skinned smiles, Who married young and then retired.

Going off the road just leaves me more time to be a writer.

Quotes by Ken Calvert

The measure would set criminal penalties, the same as those that would apply if harm or death happened to the pregnant woman, for those who harm a fetus.

The Child Custody Protection Act makes it a federal crime to transport a minor across state lines for the purpose of obtaining an abortion.

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.

In addition the bill would expand an existing law conscience clause that protects physician training programs that refuse to provide training for abortion procedures.

Casey Affleck quotes

I didn't have to audition. That's common, but it had never happened to me before. Normally, I hate auditioning. I need to stew and think... let the character develop and grow inside me.

I tricked myself into doing this movie.

When I like someone a lot, I get scared that I'll let them down. My fear of sucking is worst when I feel like someone thinks I'm good.

I moved out to LA, got an agent, started auditioning. I didn't know anything about how it worked. And since I was really bad, luckily, I didn't get any of those parts.

In my movies, there has been little to do in the way of animal rights. I have never worked in a movie with animals. No horse-riding, no trained dogs, lions, bears. A few actors, but what could I do? We had to have them.

Famous quote by Edgar Fawcett

At some glad moment was it nature's choice to dower a scrap of sunset with a voice?

Famous quote by Geoffrey Chaucer

Famous quote by Giulio Andreotti

Power tires only those who do not have it.

James Talent quotes

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.

We should not allow wealthy people, including corporate criminals, to hide their assets and avoid paying their bills.

I've always believed the two best anti-poverty programs are work and marriage.

Each of us should take personal responsibility for our diet, and our children's diet, and the government's role should be to make certain it provides the best information possible to help people stay healthy.

If we hold true to our ideals and our commitment to freedom, this generation of servicemen and women will have extended liberty to the Iraqi people, just as previous generations of Americans have all across the globe.

We are what we see. We are products of our surroundings.
