105425. For too long, decisions have been taken behind closed doors – tablets of stone have simply been past down to people without bothering to involve people, listen to their views or give them information about what we are doing and why. – Peter Mandelson
105426. I certainly believe that we gain through open trade and liberalisation. – Peter Mandelson
105427. I believe that if you treat China as an enemy, then it is likely to become one. – Peter Mandelson

105435. There is no intrinsic worth in money but what is alterable with the times, and whether a guinea goes for twenty pounds or for a shilling, it is the labor of the poor and not the high and low value that is set on gold or silver, which all the comforts of life must arise from. – Bernard de Mandeville
105436. We seldom call anybody lazy, but such as we reckon inferior to us, and of whom we expect some service. – Bernard de Mandeville

105438. Because impudence is a vice, it does not follow that modesty is a virtue; it is built upon shame, a passion in our nature, and may be either good or bad according to the actions performed from that motive. – Bernard de Mandeville
105439. The only thing of weight that can be said against modern honor is that it is directly opposite to religion. The one bids you bear injuries with patience, the other tells you if you don’t resent them, you are not fit to live. – Bernard de Mandeville

105449. The person who knows one thing and does it better than anyone else, even if it only be the art of raising lentils, receives the crown he merits. If he raises all his energy to that end, he is a benefactor of mankind and its rewarded as such. – Og Mandino
105450. Take the attitude of a student, never be too big to ask questions, never know too much to learn something new. – Og Mandino
105451. Sound character provides the power with which a person may ride the emergencies of life instead of being overwhelmed by them. Failure is… the highway to success. – Og Mandino
105452. Always render more and better service than is expected of you, no matter what your task may be. – Og Mandino
105453. Love doesn’t sit there like a stone, it has to be made, like bread: remade all the time, made new. – Og Mandino
105454. Always do your best. What you plant now, you will harvest later. – Og Mandino
105455. Always seek out the seed of triumph in every adversity. – Og Mandino
105456. Beginning today, treat everyone you meet as if they were going to be dead by midnight. Extend to them all the care, kindness and understanding you can muster, and do it with no thought of any reward. Your life will never be the same again. – Og Mandino
105457. Do all things with love. – Og Mandino
105458. I am here for a purpose and that purpose is to grow into a mountain, not to shrink to a grain of sand. Henceforth will I apply ALL my efforts to become the highest mountain of all and I will strain my potential until it cries for mercy. – Og Mandino

105460. I will love the light for it shows me the way, yet I will endure the darkness because it shows me the stars. – Og Mandino
105461. It is those who concentrates on but one thing at a time who advance in this world. The great man or woman is the one who never steps outside his or her specialty or foolishly dissipates his or her individuality. – Og Mandino
105462. I have never heard anything about the resolutions of the apostles, but a good deal about their acts. – Og Mandino
105463. For the next approximately three years, I have got Nathan to take care of. I know that once he graduates from high school, he will be off doing whatever it is he is going to be doing – probably playing ice hockey. – Barbara Mandrell
105464. I think it was 37 years that I did music. – Barbara Mandrell
105465. When I retired from my music November 1997, it had been 37 years. – Barbara Mandrell
105466. We had to go all through the night thinking that our baby was dead. When God showed him to us, he wasn’t dead, he was sucking his thumb. God had him safe and sound. He is a miracle. He is so healthy, so perfect, and God has really, really blessed us. – Barbara Mandrell
105467. That’s what I loved about show business, no two days were alike. It’s an exciting life. – Barbara Mandrell
105468. That is the exciting thing: I don’t know what God has given me for tomorrow. – Barbara Mandrell
105469. It seems to me that unless you or someone very close to you has had a bad head injury, you really can’t fathom it. You have no concept of what it is all about. It was so difficult for my whole family, not just me. – Barbara Mandrell
105470. I realize we’re not promised tomorrow. Believe me, I realize that. But if God blesses me and lets me stay, I love my life so much, it is such a good life. I am eager to throw myself at His feet, but I don’t want to get on the first busload that is going. – Barbara Mandrell
105471. I don’t know what the future holds, but I know that God holds tomorrow, so it is exciting. Even when I have hard things happen, He loves me so big, so much. I come through it and I grow from it, because He has got me. – Barbara Mandrell
105472. I am loving being Momma. I really, really am. – Barbara Mandrell
105473. By our Heavenly Father and only because of God, only because of God. We’re like other couples. We do not get along perfectly; we do not go without arguments and, as I call them, fights, and heartache and pain and hurting each other. But a marriage is three of us. – Barbara Mandrell
105474. And they just saw me on that and – from the time I was 11 until I was 12, I guess. And then when I had just turned 13, they asked me if I wanted to tour with Johnny Cash back East. – Barbara Mandrell

105477. There is only one true thing: instantly paint what you see. When you’ve got it, you’ve got it. When you haven’t, you begin again. All the rest is humbug. – Edouard Manet

105485. Black is not a color. – Edouard Manet
105486. You would hardly believe how difficult it is to place a figure alone on a canvas, and to concentrate all the interest on this single and universal figure and still keep it living and real. – Edouard Manet
105487. It is not enough to know your craft – you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more. – Edouard Manet

105493. My music has always been strong in melodic content. – Chuck Mangione
105494. Not compromising the music, but there is a way, by just showing the people that you’re sincere and honest with what you’re doing, and by talking to them. – Chuck Mangione
105495. Not with the Rochester Philharmonic, but I formed my own orchestra, made up of musicians from the Eastman School, where I’m on the faculty now, direct the Jazz Ensemble and teach improvisation classes. – Chuck Mangione
105496. The hiatus you spoke about happened in 1998. I was somewhat numb from being out on the road every night. I had to stop because I was emotionally and physically drained. – Chuck Mangione
105497. Then I loved the fact that we were actually recording live. – Chuck Mangione
105498. Music is meant to be a beautiful thing. – Chuck Mangione
105499. To do it always right, that is what music is to me. – Chuck Mangione
105500. I made many studio albums and I think the danger of studio recording is that if you do not watch out, you come out with a perfectly sterile performance. – Chuck Mangione
105501. We may play in a contemporary rock vein, use standard bebop themes, and many other things besides. – Chuck Mangione
105502. What’s happened – in our country, anyhow – is that the young people have shied away from the formality of the concert hall, that tie – and – tails philharmonic image. – Chuck Mangione
105503. Whether it’s string writing or whatever, I try to write for what each instrumentalist can do best. – Chuck Mangione
105504. There’s not much in the way of written-down arrangements – just things that Gerry and I have worked out, from playing spontaneously together and hanging on to whatever seems to fall in right. – Chuck Mangione
105505. Most recently we’ve been working in concert situations rather than clubs. because there aren’t too many rooms there like Ronnie Scott’s, that are pure music rooms, where people come specifically to listen to music. – Chuck Mangione
105506. In 1994, I started touring again and I recorded two albums for Chesky Jazz. – Chuck Mangione
105507. I write music people enjoy playing and listening to, and I have a group that loves playing the music. – Chuck Mangione
105508. I tend to not want to put labels or categories on the music, only because people come with preconceived ideas about what they’re going to hear, or won’t come for this reason. – Chuck Mangione
105509. I have been recording for five decades now. – Chuck Mangione
105510. I find it very difficult to compose when I’m not playing. – Chuck Mangione
105511. I do not mind having written the song at all. I just wish that I had written it in a different key, as the high d is hard to play. I am glad that I wrote something that brought joy to millions of people. – Chuck Mangione
105512. I am glad that I wrote something that brought joy to millions of people. – Chuck Mangione
105513. I can count on one hand the number of instrumental hits there have been over the last ten years. – Chuck Mangione
105514. Because I don’t believe music can be free unless it has something to be free from. – Chuck Mangione
105515. As for the symphonic activities… when I was a student at the Eastman School of Music, I became exposed to a lot more musical forms, elements, opportunities, and I fell in love with strings and their uses. – Chuck Mangione
105516. A studio recording is perfection, but emotion and passion come only when you turn on the machine and go for the groove. If you do that with no mistakes, it sounds beautiful. – Chuck Mangione
105517. 1972 was a year of many pleasant and rewarding experiences for me: – Chuck Mangione
105518. With four people you can create one very strong kind of energy, but if you can get 65 people working together, and swinging together, that’s a whole other kind of energy. – Chuck Mangione
105519. I was blessed to work with The Jazz Messengers when the two piano players were Keith Jarrett and Chick Corea. – Chuck Mangione
105520. Brazilian music has many of the ingredients that I strive for in my own music: Strong melodies and a disciplined but intense rhythmic concept, and interesting harmonies. – Chuck Mangione
105521. We cannot but feel uneasy about the losses caused by humanity themselves. Apart from the losses of life and property in destructive wars, the environment and natural resources are also being destroyed by human hands. – Nong Duc Manh
105522. We don’t want to keep secrets anymore. – Nong Duc Manh
105523. All countries, big or small, strong or weak, are equal members of the United Nations. – Nong Duc Manh
105524. As part of our renewal – we need to fight problems, not just wait for them to take place. – Nong Duc Manh
105525. In general, everyone wants to work and work more. But in fact, when a young generation has sufficient capability then we should create conditions for them to work. – Nong Duc Manh
105526. In Vietnam we have no political prisoners. No one is arrested or jailed for his or her speech or point of view. They are put in jail because they violated the law. – Nong Duc Manh
105527. The war against terrorism should not be used to interfere with an independent, sovereign state. We need to identify concrete terrorist targets and do no harm to civilians. – Nong Duc Manh
105528. In my fantasies, I always wanted to play the ingenue, but in reality, in my bones, I am so used to playing the grandmother that I don’t feel safe or even sure that I can do it. – Camryn Manheim
105529. Instead of hating, I have chosen to forgive and spend all of my positive energy on changing the world. – Camryn Manheim
105530. Isn’t it amazing how celebrity status preempts even the most ingrained hatreds? – Camryn Manheim
105531. It’s okay to be a fat man. It’s prestige and power and all of that. But fat women are seen as just lazy and stupid and having no self-control. – Camryn Manheim
105532. It’s important to me that I look good on television because, let’s face it, I’m single, and you want somebody to watch the show and fall in love with you. – Camryn Manheim
105533. My parents have always been offended by my weight, embarrassed maybe. It didn’t fit with their sensibilities. – Camryn Manheim
105534. Nobody else knew what to do with me because big women are old. – Camryn Manheim
105535. On The Practice, I get to do what I love to do, and I am making a contribution that will, in the end, help raise social consciousness, dispel some of the myths about being large, and change the way that people view and interact with large people. – Camryn Manheim
105536. I’ve always thought of fat as just a descriptive word. – Camryn Manheim
105537. Both of my parents are professors and everyone in my family has some fabulous degree of something or another and I couldn’t get into college because I didn’t know a language. – Camryn Manheim
105538. One of my earliest memories is of my father carrying me in one arm with a picket sign in the other. – Camryn Manheim
105539. I was scared, because I knew that in the political arena, you have to satisfy so many different types of people at once, and I wasn’t sure that I could speak for everybody and be politically correct. – Camryn Manheim
105540. I think the play actually became bigger than me. No pun intended. – Camryn Manheim
105541. I think Ellenor is embarrassed and ashamed and has devoted all of her energy to the law and to helping other people get justice because it’s too difficult for her to face her own struggle for justice. – Camryn Manheim
105542. I placed over a thousand deaf people in jobs throughout my career working for the deaf. – Camryn Manheim
105543. I learned how to sign because when I was growing up in California in order to get into college you needed two semesters of language to get into a University of California school. – Camryn Manheim
105544. I have lived my life in a culture that hates fat people. – Camryn Manheim
105545. I hate overweight, because it implies that there’s a weight standard I should be adhering to. – Camryn Manheim
105546. I don’t even like to be naked in front of myself! – Camryn Manheim
105547. For a long time, I really struggled with the idea of being an actor because I really felt that I should be in the Peace Corps. – Camryn Manheim
105548. Almost everything I do is related to being fat. – Camryn Manheim
105549. One of the things I did when I was in New York, which has a wonderful deaf community, is I have worked on making Broadway more accessible to deaf people. – Camryn Manheim
105550. Handsome, thin, sophisticated men often fall madly in love with larger women, we just never see it on TV. – Camryn Manheim
105551. People in this country haven’t stopped hating fat people, but they’ve become more kind to me, since in our culture, even though we hate our fat people, we love our celebrities even more. – Camryn Manheim
105552. So instead of beating myself up for being fat, I think it’s a miracle that I laugh every day and walk through my life with pride, because our culture is unrelenting when it comes to large people. – Camryn Manheim
105553. So to me, fat just seems to be right to the point and the most descriptive way to say it. – Camryn Manheim
105554. The character I play is a wonderful compilation of things I hate about myself and things I love about myself and things that I’ve invented to make her even more interesting than me. – Camryn Manheim

105556. The way I see it, I can either cross the street, or I can keep waiting for another few years of green lights to go by. – Camryn Manheim

105565. Misfits aren’t misfits among other misfits. – Barry Manilow
105566. The shows at the Hilton are the most exciting shows I’ve ever done. The stage is huge, but the theater is intimate, so we can have a magnificent production and still connect with the audience. – Barry Manilow

105570. All playwrights should be dead for three hundred years. – Joseph L. Mankiewicz

105572. I’ve been in on the beginning, the rise, peak, collapse and end of the talking picture. – Joseph L. Mankiewicz

105574. There’s nothing as real as money. – Joseph L. Mankiewicz
105575. There are a whole lot of historical factors that have played a part in our being where we are today, and I think that to even to begin to understand our contemporary issues and contemporary problems, you have to understand a little bit about that history. – Wilma Mankiller
105576. America would be a better place if leaders would do more long-term thinking. – Wilma Mankiller

105581. Prior to my election, young Cherokee girls would never have thought that they might grow up and become chief. – Wilma Mankiller
105582. The secret of our success is that we never, never give up. – Wilma Mankiller
105583. A lot of young girls have looked to their career paths and have said they’d like to be chief. There’s been a change in the limits people see. – Wilma Mankiller

105586. I don’t think anybody anywhere can talk about the future of their people or of an organization without talking about education. Whoever controls the education of our children controls our future. – Wilma Mankiller
105587. Growth is a painful process. – Wilma Mankiller
105588. I certainly understand that we’re all trying to make a living, but I’m not thinking about that when I’m making it. And if that’s your sole motivation, it’s going to reflect that narcissistic greed, and you’re going to hear it in the music. – Aimee Mann
105589. You know what, the drummer is my manager. He’s busy. And I’m busy. I don’t need the dough, though. But having said that, there’s a limit to how much bad music I wanna play. I did it when I was young, and some of the music was OK, but it wasn’t great. – Aimee Mann
105590. There’s a lot of music that sounds like it’s literally computer-generated, totally divorced from a guy sitting down at an instrument. – Aimee Mann
105591. The knock-out punch is always the one you never see coming. – Aimee Mann
105592. For me, there’s a fine line between telling a story that’s fictional with lots of details and then removing yourself too much from it, so it’s bloodless, a little too fictional. – Aimee Mann
105593. One of the things I’ve really gotten past in the last couple of years is the idea of being made uncomfortable by the way things appear, rather than how things are. Clearly in this business you have to contend with a lot of that. – Aimee Mann
105594. I didn’t want to play these people any more songs and have them say that they weren’t good enough. So my response was to just not be able to write anymore. I know that’s not the healthiest of responses. – Aimee Mann
105595. I have a 6-year-old, and his thing is to turn on Radio Disney in the car, and I get such an allergic reaction to listening to that music and the context into which it falls. I’m really working on him about that. – Aimee Mann
105596. I wanted to try to write songs on the piano to get a different flavor. – Aimee Mann
105597. In the ’70s, everybody thought drugs were just good times. People didn’t really know about drug addiction, or that such a thing existed. When I grew up in the ’70s I thought you had to take drugs. It was almost like I didn’t think you had a choice. – Aimee Mann
105598. It really doesn’t matter to me what people say about me anymore. – Aimee Mann
105599. It’s funny, because my last record was a lot about isolation and people living in separate worlds that other people can’t even understand, which drug addiction is the perfect negative example of. – Aimee Mann
105600. It’s more important for me to have a good record with good music and be part of a movie that’s good and where the music is used in a really great way. That’s the important thing. The other stuff you want to say about it, I don’t care. – Aimee Mann
105601. Listen, I’m out of this system, man, I’m out… I’m doing better than ever. I couldn’t be more happy. – Aimee Mann
105602. Everybody kind of understands, Oh yeah you take drugs and it does something to your brain and then you can’t stop. It’s easier to describe that shame, that horrible feeling of not being able to control your own life. – Aimee Mann
105603. Everyone’s just extracting meaning and feeling and emotion from almost every aspect of music, and I think that for me, it’s a huge antidote to that to have a concept album. – Aimee Mann
105604. It’s very important, at least for me and for Cynthia, to get outside input. – Barry Mann
105605. Cynthia’s lyrics always expressed the feelings people felt but they couldn’t express themselves. – Barry Mann
105606. I also used to work in the Catskill Mountains as a bus boy, and I performed in talent shows. – Barry Mann
105607. I get a different kind of lyric from someone else that might make me go in a different musical direction. – Barry Mann
105608. I know at the beginning of our careers, my wife and I were gut wrenchingly competitive. – Barry Mann
105609. I looked through our catalog year by year, and I saw that there were pockets of time when we wrote some terrific songs. Then all of a sudden, we’d go for another two or three months and there weren’t great songs. – Barry Mann
105610. I quit college. I was studying architecture for about a year. – Barry Mann
105611. I think if one wants to be in a continual state of insanity one should stay married to that writing partner. – Barry Mann
