Famous Quotes & Sayings

Theodore Schultz

In general, I avoided giving lectures or attaching myself while abroad to a university. To learn what I wanted to know, I went instead to rural communities and onto actual farms.

Richard Berner

Ultimately, a weaker dollar will spur policy shifts abroad that will be good for global growth. Ultimately, that will help earnings as well.

Emraan Hashmi

Mohsin Hamid

Part of the reason people abroad resent the United States is something Americans can do very little about: envy. The richest, most powerful country in the world attracts the jealousy of others in much the same way that the richest, most powerful man in a small town attracts the jealousy of others.

Dawn Anderson

Ricky Schroder

When I turned 18, my agent was like, 'You should change from Ricky to Rick.' So I thought it was a good idea. Rick never really fit. I tried for 18 years to make it work, and no one wanted to call me Rick. It should always have been Ricky. That's what it always should have been, so I'm going back to it.

Jerry Angelo

We've spoken to Lance's agent about doing that. These things take time. We're optimistic, but again, there are always two sides and we're working through it as we speak.

The fact that no traces of agent have yet been found and that other chemicals that one would not expect in such a facility have been found do raise doubts about the conclusiveness of the analysis.

Bob Williams

We have sold a lot of the legal forms over the years. We had a friend who was a real estate agent and she told us which forms we would need to have, and she was right. People always liked that they could just buy one or two forms. You can't get those at the bigger stores -- they make you buy 25. What does somebody need with 25 power of attorney papers?

Clifford Stoll

The problem with intelligent agents and filters is that they can never do anything more than a crude approximation of my desires and wants.

Dave Roberts

When I'm seeing a pilot, I'm taking care of the pilot -- but I'm doing it for the FAA, ... I'm an agent of the FAA, and that's who I report to, so it's far more important that I meet their needs than the patient's needs.

Gore Vidal

Since we have literally targeted our enemies, the Pentagon assumes that, sooner or later, rogues will take out our cities, presumably from spaceships.

Joanne Shore

Jaime Pressly

I don't have one specific dream role: I'm an actor, so I want to play everything. In this business, they'll pigeonhole you in two seconds if you're great at the role you play. Everyone assumes that you're really just like that character.

Neil Parker

I do not think stocks should have a bid premium built into them. That assumes that there is a good reason to buy them.

Isaiah Washington

The average person in Hollywood just assumes that if you're on a hit TV show, then that's the first thing you've ever done.

Yanis Varoufakis

Tom Cappel

We have no superstars, but a lot of better than average players. Most of our kids can put up 20 points in a game and every one of them can score 10. What is nice about this team is if somebody messes up, we don't go down. We have kids who can step up. It's a fun style to coach. There are no egos on this team. The chemistry is very good and they are really nice kids.

Joel Berg

When every fifth child in New York City lives in a home that doesn't have enough food, it is clear that New York City is facing a hunger crisis. You could fill Yankee Stadium more than seven times with these children. Such numbers should be a wakeup call for government leaders, business executives and average residents alike.

Dan Murphy

We want more people to play. We want to make the game fun for the average player. Clearly, the golf consumer likes to watch the ball hit a long way, and when they play themselves, they like to hit it a long way.

Randy Blach

We were a perfect commodity business from 1980-2000. It didn't matter if you were feeding cattle or in the cow-calf business; the average producer didn't make any money.

Charles Stross

An important factor to note is that it's rare for anyone to sell a first novel written before they turned 30-35; long-format fiction tends to require a bunch of experience of human life that takes time to acquire. So your average mid-career novelist is in their forties to fifties!

Charles Stanley

Arup Patnaik

Looking at the contents of the locker, it does not seem like the work of a small gang.

David Watters

I think the contents of the encyclopedia will offer surprises to even a born-and-bred New Englander. New England is much more than the traditional taciturn Yankees, town meetings, and maple syrup. It is an important region not only for its past, but the present and the future.

Mary McDowell

We are making a lot of enhancements to devices specifically for enterprises,

James Cameron

We're in a fight for survival here. Maybe we just need to fight back harder, come out blazing, not wither away and die. D-cinema can do it, for a number of reasons, but because d-cinema is an enabling technology for 3-D. Digital 3-D is a revolutionary form of showmanship that is within our grasp. It can get people off their butts and away from their portable devices and get people back in the theaters where they belong.

Jim Voss

So, technically, I've been using the help of various devices pretty much throughout my career.

Montel Williams

Ezra Klein

My career wouldn't exist without blogs, electronic text, hyperlinks, and mass online audiences.

Dr. Gerberding

Until we have electronic health records, we're going to have to do this the old-fashioned way, by Mom's recall sometimes.

Christopher Young

Grant Williamson

Moral persuasion over a period of time makes a difference, but we shouldn't be naive to think that just because we raise it in a meeting it will make all those problems go away. It won't and it doesn't.

We?re having a search (committee) meeting next week.

Evan Bayh

My first meeting as a senator, my first day, they were already talking about the next election. Part of that's the permanent campaign, part of that's a word I've been using more frequently, 'tribal.' Our politics has become tribal: It's us versus them.

Tracy Kidder

Returning to Northampton, I thought: here's a town that seems to be working pretty well, and I wonder why.

Marat Safin

It wasn't my day today on the serve, Gisela was returning winners on my serve so it was kind of embarrassing for me,
