Much of the violence that we see now is being created by the gangs that were once aligned with the Aristide government.

Charles Scott Sherrington

If we denote excitation as an end-effect by the sign plus (+), and inhibition as end-effect by the sign minus (-), such a reflex as the scratch-reflex can be termed a reflex of double-sign, for it develops excitatory end-effect and then inhibitory end-effect even during the duration of the exciting stimulus.

where it actually goes from land into the water.

Lisa Vidal

Latinos that are in the industry writing and producing, they can't be afraid to go out there and say, 'I want my lead to be Latino. And I want to talk about this, I wanna write about that.' And Latinos as a whole, as a people in America, need to go out and support.

The more we struggle for life as pleasure, the more we are actually killing what we love.

Alan Watts

Everyone has love, but it can only come out when he is convinced of the impossibility and the frustration of trying to love himself.

Alan Watts

The problem comes up because we ask the question in the wrong way. We supposed that solids were one thing and space quite another, or just nothing whatever. Then it appeared that space was no mere nothing, because solids couldn't do without it. But the mistake in the beginning was to think of solids and space as two different things, instead of as two aspects of the same thing. The point is that they are different but inseparable, like the front end and the rear end of a cat. Cut them apart, and the cat dies.

Charles Dickens

If a dread of not being understood be hidden in the breasts of other young people to anything like the extent to which it used to be hidden in mine - which I consider probable, as I have no particular reason to suspect myself of having been a monstrosity - it is the key to many reservations.

A vile imagination, once indulged, gets the key of our minds, and can get in again very easily, whether we will or no, and can so return as to bring seven other spirits with it more wicked than itself; and what may follow no one knows.

Charles Spurgeon

Idleness is the key of beggary.

Alan Greenspan

Given our inevitably incomplete knowledge about key structural aspects of an everchanging economy and the sometimes asymmetric costs or benefits of particular outcomes, a central bank needs to consider not only the most likely future path for the economy but also the distribution of possible outcomes about that path. The decision makers then need to reach judgment about the probabilities, costs and benefits of the various possible outcomes under alternative choices for policy.

Alan Greenspan

The use of a growing array of derivatives and the related application of more-sophisticated approaches to measuring and managing risk are key factors underpinning the greater resilience of our largest financial institutions .... Derivatives have permitted the unbundling of financial risks.

Alain Robert

When I was 12, I forgot the keys to my parent's apartment. So I simply climbed up seven floors to get in.

Al Kaline

I was very, very shocked about Cooperstown. I thought my chances were fairly good, but I tried to stay low key about it, not too high and not too low. That was the way I played, too.

Everything matched psychologically and physically. Then it was a matter of just putting me into the (donor) system. I got a week's notice and went to Spokane,

Doug Wojcik

Southern Miss and Tulsa, there's two teams that have the toughest time scoring points. But I think it's going to be a very evenly matched game. They're dangerous.

Pat Monroe

It was unfortunate the way things turned out. We wanted to see how the team matched up and how much we progressed. We were going to play a top quality opponent.

Aiden Wilson Tozer

It is scarcely possible in most places to get anyone to attend a meeting where the only attraction is God

Randy Nixon

We want to see people come to this meeting who want to work, who want to see it happen.

Pat Schaumann

We staff about 4,000 meetings a year for the pharmaceutical industry.

John Lackey

When we have two jurisdictions, we have to have a meeting of the minds.

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.

Jack Straw

We have just made history, ... We've had the first ministerial meeting on the opening of accession negotiations.

Kenichiro Sasae

We are talking about the possibility of a recess. We are going to have another meeting tomorrow.

Skip Patterson

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

Ashley Key

We actually had a team meeting at one point (during that stretch). We talked about what we needed to do as a team to get it together. After that team meeting, we got back on the same page and went from there.

Steve White

We want more people using the trail systems. We've got miles of trails. Let's use them.

Jeff Burton

We're going 200 mph. We're not thinking about being safe or we wouldn't be going 200 miles an hour.

Bruce Robinson

You can't be a 20-mile a day eater if you're just a 5-mile a day runner.

Rose George

Shipping is so cheap that it makes more financial sense for Scottish cod to be sent 10,000 miles to China to be filleted, then sent back to Scottish shops and restaurants, than to pay Scottish filleters.

Rick Adams

She puts everyone else first. Probably every mile she's put on her van has been running errands for someone else.

Paul Levitz

Most of us never got more than 100 miles from our houses. That the school pulled this together is astounding.

Mike Heimerdinger

We're about a million miles away after (Monday) night.

Bruce Donald

Seventeen miles of the proposed 25 miles of the greenway are completed.

Ivor Heerden

We're doing repairs on the breaches, but there are many, many, many miles of levee that we don't have any idea of.

Phil Rosenthal

We want to thank all of you for nine wonderful years.

Antony Garrett Lisi

Ninety-five per cent of my time is virtually wasted.

Carolyn Maloney

Nine out of ten adult Americans have a checking account. It's the most widely used financial services product in the United States.

Arianna Huffington

Ninety nine percent of the time it's not urgent and to create a culture where you are constantly plugged in and expected to be always-on is to create a culture of burnout.

Booth Tarkington

Gossip is never fatal until it is denied. Gossip goes on about every human being alive and about all the dead that are alive enough to be remembered, and yet almost never does any harm until some defender makes a controversy. Gossip's a nasty thing, but it's sickly, and if people of good intentions will let it entirely alone, it will die, ninety-nine times out of a hundred.
