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.

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.

Quote by Warren Earl Burger

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.
