120432. The martyr sacrifices themselves entirely in vain. Or rather not in vain; for they make the selfish more selfish, the lazy more lazy, the narrow narrower. – Florence Nightingale

120433. I got briefly mistaken for someone who might be good in bed, which was very, very good. – Bill Nighy

120434. I wanted to be a journalist, I thought it was glamorous and that I’d meet beautiful women in the rain. – Bill Nighy

120435. I’ve always slightly worried the kids who play football around my house. They know I’m an actor, but felt sorry for me because they’d never seen anything I’ve done. – Bill Nighy

120436. People like eccentrics. Therefore they will leave me alone, saying that I am a mad clown. – Vaslav Nijinsky

120437. I stood there amazed. I found it all hard to believe, that I, Des Nilsen, had actually done all that. – Dennis Nilsen

120438. In the morning he was lying dead on one of the beds fully clothed. He was dead. I got the impression he wanted to go, and I must have killed him. I can’t remember strangling him. I just sat there shocked. – Dennis Nilsen

120439. I saw him… at peace in my armchair. I remember wishing he could stay in peace like that forever. I had a feeling of easing his burden with my strength. – Dennis Nilsen

120440. I don’t lose sleep over what I have done or have nightmares about it. – Dennis Nilsen

120441. I just close my eyes and think of Placido Domingo. – Birgit Nilsson

120442. I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, ‘Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn’t, then there’s a point to it.’ – Harry Nilsson

120443. I get nervous when they start shooting piano players. – Harry Nilsson

120444. It was just a typical London flat, but it was in a great neighborhood. It was across from the Playboy Club, diagonally. From one balcony you could read the time from Big Ben, and from the other balcony you could watch the bunnies go up and down. – Harry Nilsson

120445. I do believe that most men live lives of quiet desperation. For despair, optimism is the only practical solution. Hope is practical. Because eliminate that and it’s pretty scary. Hope at least gives you the option of living. – Harry Nilsson

120446. That incident ruined my reputation for 10 years. Get one Beatle drunk and look what happens! – Harry Nilsson

120447. The chemistry of love is something which is extremely extremely unbelievable. This is something we have planned for more than two years, so I hope that we are going to start in the beginning of next year. – Lennart Nilsson

120448. You know, of course, the specimens are not alive. We have to fix them in a fixing liquid formaldehyde and then we have to do a rinsing and then we have to coat them in a thin layer of gold. – Lennart Nilsson

120449. There is a new way with very very tiny fiber optics, which give an enormous high resolution. There are many many thousand fibers, very very close together with a very small diameter. – Lennart Nilsson

120450. That’s the new way – with computers, computers, computers. That’s the way we can have the cell survive and get some new information in high resolution. We started about five years ago and, today, I think we have reached the target. – Lennart Nilsson

120451. Of course, today at the Karolinska Institute, I am working with some top experts – even some Nobel prize winners. They have the latest news and I have the technique. – Lennart Nilsson

120452. It’s to surprise people about something that is extremely well known. I mean human reproduction, the human body, nature and so on. To surprise them with a new technique. – Lennart Nilsson

120453. I have the instruments, ideas, technology, computer techniques. We try to create or see something, which has not been known before – just to discover something together. This is always my dream. – Lennart Nilsson

120454. I have some friends, colleagues here at the Karolinska Institute and even in the United States and many other countries too, because we are working together as scientists. – Lennart Nilsson

120455. I have many times thought I did the wrong thing, but the reason was not to be a medical doctor – it was just to have the information. But then, maybe I was wrong, I don’t know. – Lennart Nilsson

120456. And my real enemy is not to hold the specimen sterile, but it’s the lighting. The light is our real enemy. So we have to work with very very poor lighting. But we can increase the light with computers. – Lennart Nilsson

120457. And I remember that the editors wanted to have a witness to say that this was really the case, because it was a very sharp picture of the just the face, the head of the fetus inside the womb. – Lennart Nilsson

120458. We sometimes freeze the specimen with liquid nitrogen, which is extremely cold, you know. This is another technique we use now – but the specimens are not alive. – Lennart Nilsson

120459. For the animals, they came from the University in Uppsala and all different kinds of clinics here. – Lennart Nilsson

120460. God grant me the courage not to give up what I think is right even though I think it is hopeless. – Chester W. Nimitz

120461. That is not to say that we can relax our readiness to defend ourselves. Our armament must be adequate to the needs, but our faith is not primarily in these machines of defense but in ourselves. – Chester W. Nimitz

120462. Is the proposed operation likely to succeed? What might the consequences of failure? Is it in the realm of practicability in terms of material and supplies? – Chester W. Nimitz

120463. A ship is always referred to as “she” because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder. – Chester W. Nimitz

120464. Of the Marines on Iwo Jima, uncommon valor was a common virtue. – Chester W. Nimitz

120465. Some words having to do with the death of the people in the World Trade Center attack had been added, and when I got to it, I had this overwhelmingly emotional experience. I struggled to get through the words; tears were streaming down my cheeks. – Leonard Nimoy

120466. I’ve been working with photography for many years. – Leonard Nimoy

120467. Logic is the beginning of wisdom, not the end. – Leonard Nimoy

120468. Most of my images have been done in-studio, under very controlled lighting conditions. There have been a few that have been shot in nature, but even then they were shot almost exclusively at night, and again, under controlled lighting conditions. – Leonard Nimoy

120469. My dream concept is that I have a camera and I am trying to photograph what is essentially invisible. And every once in a while I get a glimpse of her and I grab that picture. – Leonard Nimoy

120470. My memory of those places is better than my pictures. That’s why I get much more satisfaction out of shooting thematic work that has to do with an idea that I’m searching for, or searching to express. – Leonard Nimoy

120471. My wife and I are affiliated with a temple here in Los Angeles. We feel very close to the congregation and to the rabbi, who happens to be my wife’s cousin and who I admire greatly. I talk to him regularly but I consider myself more spiritual than religious. – Leonard Nimoy

120472. Other times, you’re doing some piece of work and suddenly you get feedback that tells you that you have touched something that is very alive in the cosmos. – Leonard Nimoy

120473. I’m touched by the idea that when we do things that are useful and helpful – collecting these shards of spirituality – that we may be helping to bring about a healing. – Leonard Nimoy

120474. That is the exploration that awaits you! Not mapping stars and studying nebula, but charting the unknown possibilities of existence. – Leonard Nimoy

120475. That’s the most difficult issue for me… to find a subject that holds my interest long enough that I’m prepared to go to work and spend the time and energy to shoot the subject. – Leonard Nimoy

120476. That’s true, because I’m a photographer now. – Leonard Nimoy

120477. A neighborhood friend showed me how it was possible to go to a camera shop and pick up chemicals for pennies… literally… and develop your own film and make prints. – Leonard Nimoy

120478. The book tour has been really interesting and very gratifying. I have not book toured before. I’ve never had quite as much pleasure, as much satisfaction. – Leonard Nimoy

120479. The miracle is this: the more we share the more we have. – Leonard Nimoy

120480. This time, there have been a lot of interesting discussion about the subject matter and I’ve had a good time talking about it. And in some of the cases, I’m not just signing books; I’m showing slides and talking about the work. – Leonard Nimoy

120481. I also do my own processing, so it means a big commitment in lab time. – Leonard Nimoy

120482. Which is probably the reason why I work exclusively in black and white… to highlight that contrast. – Leonard Nimoy

120483. Years ago – in the 70s, for about a decade – I carried a camera every place I went. And I shot a lot of pictures that were still life and landscape, using available light. – Leonard Nimoy

120484. You know, for a long time I have been of the opinion that artists don’t necessarily know what they’re doing. You don’t necessarily know what kind of universal concept you’re tapping into. – Leonard Nimoy

120485. You proceed from a false assumption: I have no ego to bruise. – Leonard Nimoy

120486. What I’m exploring right now is the subject of my own mortality. It’s an area that I’m curious about, and I’m researching it to see if there’s a photographic essay in it for me. If images don’t start to come, I’ll go to something else. – Leonard Nimoy

120487. For me it’s all about personal vision; is there something about a subject that uniquely speaks to me. – Leonard Nimoy

120488. But if you’re talking about fine art work, then I think you have to ask yourself some pretty deep questions about why it is you want to take pictures and what it is you want to say. – Leonard Nimoy

120489. I’m attracted to images that come from a personal exploration of a subject matter. When they have a personal stamp to them, then I think it becomes identifiable. – Leonard Nimoy

120490. I am not Spock. – Leonard Nimoy

120491. I became hooked on the idea of being able to shoot an image and process it myself, and end up with a product. – Leonard Nimoy

120492. I became involved in photography when I was about thirteen years old. – Leonard Nimoy

120493. I certainly don’t live in a kosher home although I was raised in a kosher environment. – Leonard Nimoy

120494. I deal with this spiritual issue every day – either shooting or processing or sorting or discussing or having conversations – I’m in constant contact with it. – Leonard Nimoy

120495. I think it’s my adventure, my trip, my journey, and I guess my attitude is, let the chips fall where they may. – Leonard Nimoy

120496. I, with a deeper instinct, choose a man who compels my strength, who makes enormous demands on me, who does not doubt my courage or my toughness, who does not believe me naive or innocent, who has the courage to treat me like a woman. – Anais Nin

120497. Each friend represents a world in us, a world not born until they arrive, and it is only by this meeting that a new world is born. – Anais Nin

120498. The human father has to be confronted and recognized as human, as man who created a child and then, by his absence, left the child fatherless and then Godless. – Anais Nin

120499. When we blindly adopt a religion, a political system, a literary dogma, we become automatons. We cease to grow. – Anais Nin

120500. What I cannot love, I overlook. Is that real friendship? – Anais Nin

120501. We travel, some of us forever, to seek other states, other lives, other souls. – Anais Nin

120502. We don’t see things as they are, we see them as we are. – Anais Nin

120503. I will not be just a tourist in the world of images, just watching images passing by which I cannot live in, make love to, possess as permanent sources of joy and ecstasy. – Anais Nin

120504. Throw your dreams into space like a kite, and you do not know what it will bring back, a new life, a new friend, a new love, a new country. – Anais Nin

120505. How wrong it is for a woman to expect the man to build the world she wants, rather than to create it herself. – Anais Nin

120506. There came a time when the risk to remain tight in the bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. – Anais Nin

120507. There are very few human beings who receive the truth, complete and staggering, by instant illumination. Most of them acquire it fragment by fragment, on a small scale, by successive developments, cellularly, like a laborious mosaic. – Anais Nin

120508. There are many ways to be free. One of them is to transcend reality by imagination, as I try to do. – Anais Nin

120509. The role of a writer is not to say what we all can say, but what we are unable to say. – Anais Nin

120510. The possession of knowledge does not kill the sense of wonder and mystery. There is always more mystery. – Anais Nin

120511. When you make a world tolerable for yourself, you make a world tolerable for others. – Anais Nin

120512. The only abnormality is the incapacity to love. – Anais Nin

120513. Truth is something which can’t be told in a few words. Those who simplify the universe only reduce the expansion of its meaning. – Anais Nin

120514. The dream was always running ahead of me. To catch up, to live for a moment in unison with it, that was the miracle. – Anais Nin

120515. People living deeply have no fear of death. – Anais Nin

120516. Our life is composed greatly from dreams, from the unconscious, and they must be brought into connection with action. They must be woven together. – Anais Nin

120517. My ideas usually come not at my desk writing but in the midst of living. – Anais Nin

120518. Love never dies a natural death. It dies because we don’t know how to replenish it’s source. It dies of blindness and errors and betrayals. It dies of illness and wounds; it dies of weariness, of witherings, of tarnishings. – Anais Nin

120519. Living never wore one out so much as the effort not to live. – Anais Nin

120520. Life shrinks or expands in proportion to one’s courage. – Anais Nin

120521. Life is truly known only to those who suffer, lose, endure adversity and stumble from defeat to defeat. – Anais Nin

120522. Life is a process of becoming, a combination of states we have to go through. Where people fail is that they wish to elect a state and remain in it. This is a kind of death. – Anais Nin

120523. It’s all right for a woman to be, above all, human. I am a woman first of all. – Anais Nin

120524. It is the function of art to renew our perception. What we are familiar with we cease to see. The writer shakes up the familiar scene, and, as if by magic, we see a new meaning in it. – Anais Nin

120525. If you do not breathe through writing, if you do not cry out in writing, or sing in writing, then don’t write, because our culture has no use for it. – Anais Nin

120526. If all of us acted in unison as I act individually there would be no wars and no poverty. I have made myself personally responsible for the fate of every human being who has come my way. – Anais Nin

120527. The personal life deeply lived always expands into truths beyond itself. – Anais Nin

120528. And the day came when the risk to remain tight in a bud was more painful than the risk it took to blossom. – Anais Nin

120529. I stopped loving my father a long time ago. What remained was the slavery to a pattern. – Anais Nin

120530. I postpone death by living, by suffering, by error, by risking, by giving, by losing. – Anais Nin

120531. Good things happen to those who hustle. – Anais Nin

120532. Each contact with a human being is so rare, so precious, one should preserve it. – Anais Nin

120533. Dreams pass into the reality of action. From the actions stems the dream again; and this interdependence produces the highest form of living. – Anais Nin

120534. Dreams are necessary to life. – Anais Nin

120535. There is not one big cosmic meaning for all, there is only the meaning we each give to our life, an individual meaning, an individual plot, like an individual novel, a book for each person. – Anais Nin

120536. Anxiety is love’s greatest killer. It makes others feel as you might when a drowning man holds on to you. You want to save him, but you know he will strangle you with his panic. – Anais Nin

120537. Age does not protect you from love. But love, to some extent, protects you from age. – Anais Nin

120538. A leaf fluttered in through the window this morning, as if supported by the rays of the sun, a bird settled on the fire escape, joy in the task of coffee, joy accompanied me as I walked. – Anais Nin

120539. Do not seek the because – in love there is no because, no reason, no explanation, no solutions. – Anais Nin

120540. There’s nothing more ironic or contradictory than life itself. – Robert De Niro

120541. I don’t like to watch my own movies – I fall asleep in my own movies. – Robert De Niro

120542. I go to Paris, I go to London, I go to Rome, and I always say, ‘There’s no place like New York. It’s the most exciting city in the world now. That’s the way it is. That’s it.’ – Robert De Niro

120543. I think Hollywood has a class system. The actors are like the inmates, but the truth is they’re running the asylum. – Robert De Niro

120544. I’ve never been one of those actors who has touted myself as a fascinating human being. I had to decide early on whether I was to be an actor or a personality. – Robert De Niro

120545. It’s important not to indicate. People don’t try to show their feelings, they try to hide them. – Robert De Niro

120546. One of the things about acting is it allows you to live other people’s lives without having to pay the price. – Robert De Niro

120547. There is a certain combination of anarchy and discipline in the way I work. – Robert De Niro

120548. When you make a drama, you spend all day beating a guy to death with a hammer, or what have you. Or, you have to take a bite out of somebody’s face. On the other hand, with a comedy, you yell at Billy Crystal for an hour, and you go home. – Robert De Niro

120549. You learned the two greatest thing in life, never rat on your friends, and always keep your mouth shut. – Robert De Niro

120550. You’ll have time to rest when you’re dead. – Robert De Niro

120551. The talent is in the choices. – Robert De Niro

120552. I personally think that we can win the World Cup. We are improving with every game. With such a young average age in the squad we can only carry on improving. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120553. Of course I have the odd bad game like other players. But I can’t accept that. Especially when things don’t go right for United. It all means so much to me to be succesful here. It drives me crazy at times. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120554. People say it is part of the game. You win some, you lose some. But not for me. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120555. The country life near Manchester I really love. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120556. The real big stars only keep this up for about seven years. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120557. We have to be thankful to the Czechs that they did their duty. The Czech Republic won, I can’t believe it. It was a huge party with all the people here. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120558. When it comes to losing with United, I feel solely responsible for it. I can’t help it. My brain will work like mad after a defeat. I want to know where I have made the wrong decisions, how I could have changed things for this fantastic club. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120559. When we got knocked out against Porto in the Champions League, I only slept two hours that night. I was not a nice person to be with after that match. I was struggling to get the result out of my system. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120560. Most of the pressure comes from myself, not from others. I don’t need a manager or a pundit to put pressure on me. I do all that myself before others do it. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120561. I feel very strong as an individual, but as a famous footballer I know I am prone to certain things. All the media have a continuous interest for me. It varies from once a year to every day interest. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120562. Losing is not in my vocabulary. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120563. My back to the goal, physically fighting off defenders, trying to bang my goals in, every week I have to do the business for this club. That’s the life of a striker. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120564. In that match for Holland I asked for a big responsibility, I got it and I dealt with it. I played well, I scored goals and the team qualified for the Euro 2004 finals. It was a big night and an important moment for Holland. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120565. I think we have really integrated well around Manchester. This is the place where we feel at home. We like it here, we love the English way of life and we prefer it much, much more than the south of Europe. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120566. In Spain and Italy I would not have a life among the fans. Everyone wants to touch you, own you and approach you. I try to be as kind as possible to all my fans, but in those countries I could not do it. There they ask too much from you. – Ruud van nistelrooy

120567. I really want be of great value for the team. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120568. If you start to find that kind of luxury as a normal thing, you don’t belong in the real world. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120569. If I don’t get the service or if I don’t the ball in the box, where I want it, I start drifting into midfield. I go and look for the ball. I try to be important for the team in other areas. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120570. I let people say and write what they want. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120571. As a private person I think I am now totally different from Ruud van Nistelrooy the footballer. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120572. Because of that I don’t care when I read in the newspaper that I am colourblind. I went through a red light in my car and I stopped when I before a green light. So I must be really colourblind, eh? – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120573. Because people have read those things in the newspapers, they think it is true. Ten years ago all these things I have just mentioned would have upset me. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120574. But really, I can only be dangerous for the team in one place, and that is in the box. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120575. Certain things do not effect me anymore, which is not always good. There is always commotion, but I notice that hardly anything affects me or puts me out of balance. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120576. Every day I work my guts out in training, every match I play my heart out. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120577. Italy and Spain really are not my countries. – Ruud van Nistelrooy

120578. I’m not a madman. – Ray Nitschke

120579. It was another day to go to work, and try to play and play well. – Ray Nitschke

120580. It was the character of the Packers, man. We played for sixty minutes. We let it all hang out. There was no tomorrow for us. We got the adrenaline flowing, and we just let it go, man. – Ray Nitschke

120581. Lambeau was always special, and so was Milwaukee. – Ray Nitschke

120582. Packer fans are nuts, man. – Ray Nitschke

120583. That’s what you work all season for, to get into the playoff games, and you don’t want to blow it. – Ray Nitschke

120584. I lust love to play football. – Ray Nitschke

120585. I think it was the preparation and every thing Lombardi represented, you know, about hard work and that every game was important. So when you get to the real important games, you were ready to go. – Ray Nitschke

120586. I think the Lombardi teams enjoyed and wanted to get into the big games. – Ray Nitschke

120587. One of the most dangerous forms of human error is forgetting what one is trying to achieve. – Paul Nitze

120588. We slow the progress of science today for all sorts of ethical reasons. Biomedicine could advance much faster if we abolished our rules on human experimentation in clinical trials, as Nazi researchers did. – Paul Nitze

120589. I see my purpose in life as making the world a happier place to be in . – David Niven

120590. I have a face that is a cross between two pounds of halibut and an explosion in an old clothes closet. – David Niven

120591. I make two movies a year to take care of the butcher and the baker and the school fees. Then I try to write, but it’s not that easy. Acting is what’s easy. – David Niven

120592. I wonder why it is, that young men are always cautioned against bad girls. Anyone can handle a bad girl. It’s the good girls men should be warned against. – David Niven

120593. Going to war was the only unselfish thing I have ever done for humanity. – David Niven

120594. Keep the circus going inside you, keep it going, don’t take anything too seriously, it’ll all work out in the end. – David Niven

120595. Old age has got to start creeping up on me one day soon, and frankly I’m very scared. I don’t want to be old. I’ve always felt so young. And I want to stay that way. – David Niven

120596. The only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping and showing off his shortcomings. – David Niven

120597. You can count on Errol Flynn, he’ll always let you down. – David Niven

120598. Malta is a sod of a place. – David Niven

120599. SF isn’t a genre; SF is the matrix in which genres are embedded, and because the SF field is never going in any one direction at any one time, there is hardly a way to cut it off. – Larry Niven

120600. I’d visit the near future, close enough that someone might want to talk to Larry Niven and can figure out the language; distant enough to get me decent medical techniques and a ticket to the Moon. – Larry Niven

120601. We’re looking as far ahead as we can, and we don’t get penalized for mistakes. – Larry Niven

120602. I’m not predicting; I just love playing with superconductors. – Larry Niven

120603. I’ve got five or six unpublished stories kicking around looking for somebody to buy them. – Larry Niven

120604. I’ve spent a lot of my life among people brighter than myself. – Larry Niven

120605. In general, I don’t know when inspiration will pop up. – Larry Niven

120606. Treat your life like something to be sculpted. – Larry Niven

120607. We should not have assumed that a political space station could be built. – Larry Niven

120608. We need to take command of the solar system to gain that wealth, and to escape the sea of paper our government is becoming, and for some decent chance of stopping a Dinosaur Killer asteroid. – Larry Niven

120609. I’d repair our education system or replace it with something that works. – Larry Niven

120610. My problem with new writers is that it takes me five or six years to memorise the right names. – Larry Niven

120611. In hindsight it may even seem inevitable that a socialist society will starve when it runs out of capitalists. – Larry Niven

120612. As for AIDS, it’s a plague. We are human, we get plagues. They come along every so often, kill off two thirds of the population; in the next generation it’s a quarter; after that it’s a childhood disease. – Larry Niven

120613. The human species really could have faced global thermonuclear war. During seventy years of Cold War we grew used to it. – Larry Niven

120614. I never got good at predicting what millions of people will suddenly decide is rational. – Larry Niven

120615. Anything beats an expensive stack of paper. – Larry Niven

120616. Bruce Sterling is one terrific writer and he’s relatively new, but I don’t know how long he’s been doing it; he probably doesn’t need the publicity anymore! – Larry Niven

120617. Building one space station for everyone was and is insane: we should have built a dozen. – Larry Niven

120618. But… watching Steven Barnes taught me to treat my life like an art form. – Larry Niven

120630. That’s one of the problems with making music your business, it becomes a business. You’re no longer just this kid who is a fan and going to see every show. I’ve been in a bar every night for the last 15 years. Going to see bands for me is work. – Mojo Nixon

120631. I can’t understand people calling themselves religious and being hateful. If a preacher is preaching hate, to fear God that’s not religion, that’s not helping humanity, that’s organizing an army to defeat somebody. – Mojo Nixon

120632. I’ll have to have a room of my own. Nobody could sleep with Dick. He wakes up during the night, switches on the lights, speaks into his tape recorder. – Pat Nixon

120672. Well, I screwed it up real good, didn’t I? – Richard M. Nixon

120679. There are some people, you know, they think the way to be a big man is to shout and stomp and raise hell-and then nothing ever really happens. I’m not like that I never shoot blanks. – Richard M. Nixon

120680. What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance. – Richard M. Nixon

120681. There will be no whitewash in the White House. – Richard M. Nixon

120682. We must always remember that America is a great nation today not because of what government did for people but because of what people did for themselves and for one another. – Richard M. Nixon

120702. I played by the rules of politics as I found them. – Richard M. Nixon

120703. I let the American people down. – Richard M. Nixon

120705. I have impeached myself by resigning. – Richard M. Nixon

120717. My own view is that taping of conversations for historical purposes was a bad decision on the part of all the presidents. I don’t think Kennedy should have done it. I don’t think Johnson should have done it, and I don’t think we should have done it. – Richard M. Nixon

120718. My concern today is not with the length of a person’s hair but with his conduct. – Richard M. Nixon

120719. Life isn’t meant to be easy. It’s hard to take being on the top – or on the bottom. I guess I’m something of a fatalist. You have to have a sense of history, I think, to survive some of these things… Life is one crisis after another. – Richard M. Nixon

120720. Let us move from the era of confrontation to the era of negotiation. – Richard M. Nixon

120753. In the villages in Europe, there are still healers who tell stories. – Yannick Noah

120754. I felt the weight of the past at the beginning of my career of singer. – Yannick Noah

120755. It made me hungry. I feel like I’m in a program that really helped me individually as a player. I feel like I’m with a group of guys that are like my best friends. – Yannick Noah

120767. If I have a thousand ideas and only one turns out to be good, I am satisfied. – Alfred Nobel

120768. Hope is nature’s veil for hiding truth’s nakedness. – Alfred Nobel

120769. Success is a process, a quality of mind and way of being, an outgoing affirmation of life. – Alex Noble

120770. Success is not a place at which one arrives but rather the spirit with which one undertakes and continues the journey. – Alex Noble

120771. Risk is essential. There is not growth of inspiration in staying within what is safe and comfortable. Once you find out what you do best, why not try something else? – Alex Noble

120772. Oh, the miraculous energy that flows between two people who care enough to get beyond surfaces and games, who are willing to take the risks of being totally open, of listening, of responding with the whole heart. How much we can do for each other. – Alex Noble

120774. Assuming that man has a distinct spiritual nature, a soul, why should it be thought unnatural that under appropriate conditions of maladjustment, his soul might die before his body does; or that his soul might die without his knowing it? – Albert J. Nock

120775. Life has obliged him to remember so much useful knowledge that he has lost not only his history, but his whole original cargo of useless knowledge; history, languages, literatures, the higher mathematics, or what you will – are all gone. – Albert J. Nock

120776. Someone asked me years ago if it were true that I disliked Jews, and I replied that it was certainly true, not at all because they are Jews but because they are folks, and I don’t like folks. – Albert J. Nock

120777. Perhaps the prevalence of pedantry may be largely accounted for by the common error of thinking that, because useful knowledge should be remembered, any kind of knowledge that is at all worth learning should be remembered too. – Albert J. Nock

120778. The mind is like the stomach. It is not how much you put into it that counts, but how much it digests. – Albert J. Nock

120779. Perhaps one reason for the falling-off of belief in a continuance of conscious existence is to be found in the quality of life that most of us lead. There is not much in it with which, in any kind of reason, one can associate the idea of immortality. – Albert J. Nock

120780. Organized Christianity has always represented immortality as a sort of common heritage; but I never could see why spiritual life should not be conditioned on the same terms as all life, i. e., correspondence with environment. – Albert J. Nock

120781. The business of a scientific school is the dissemination of useful knowledge, and this is a noble enterprise and indispensable withal; society can not exist unless it goes on. – Albert J. Nock

120784. Diligent as one must be in learning, one must be as diligent in forgetting; otherwise the process is one of pedantry, not culture. – Albert J. Nock

120785. Concerning culture as a process, one would say that it means learning a great many things and then forgetting them; and the forgetting is as necessary as the learning. – Albert J. Nock

120786. As might be supposed, my parents were quite poor, but we somehow never seemed to lack anything we needed, and I never saw a trace of discontent or a failure in cheerfulness over their lot in life, as indeed over anything. – Albert J. Nock

120787. As far as I know, I have no pride of opinion. – Albert J. Nock

120788. Learning has always been made much of, but forgetting has always been deprecated; therefore pedantry has pretty well established itself throughout the modern world at the expense of culture. – Albert J. Nock

120789. Considered now as a possession, one may define culture as the residuum of a large body of useless knowledge that has been well and truly forgotten. – Albert J. Nock

120790. Like Prince von Bismarck in diplomacy, I have no secrets. – Albert J. Nock

120791. The position of modern science, as far as an ignorant man of letters can understand it, seems not a step in advance of that held by Huxley and Romanes in the last century. – Albert J. Nock

120792. The university’s business is the conservation of useless knowledge; and what the university itself apparently fails to see is that this enterprise is not only noble but indispensable as well, that society can not exist unless it goes on. – Albert J. Nock

120793. The positive testimony of history is that the State invariably had its origin in conquest and confiscation. No primitive State known to history originated in any other manner. – Albert J. Nock

120794. Useless knowledge can be made directly contributory to a force of sound and disinterested public opinion. – Albert J. Nock

120795. The question of who is right and who is wrong has seemed to me always too small to be worth a moment’s thought, while the question of what is right and what is wrong has seemed all-important. – Albert J. Nock

120796. I’d rather have a real South Dakotan who has lived in this state and made her living here instead of someone with a fancy East Coast law degree any day. – Kristi Noem

120797. We have to get government out of the job of picking winners and losers. That’s what they’ve been doing the last year and a half, getting in the way of businesses that are trying to reinvest to get our economy back on its feet. – Kristi Noem

120798. We’ve got very large freshman class, it’s historic in its size, so there’s people that are extremely diverse in their backgrounds and their viewpoints. I think that we’re going to see a conservative group of people coming together, focused on some real ideals that are going to be extremely important. – Kristi Noem

120799. We didn’t come here to become Washington, we came here to change Washington. – Kristi Noem

120800. Now make no mistake, I think we need a strong dose of fiscal conservatism in Washington, D.C. – Kristi Noem

120801. I think labels have been used alot during this election process to divide people, and at this point in time we really need people to come together, and be their own person, come with their own suggestions, and really solve the problems that we have facing this country. – Kristi Noem

120802. I think everyday people on the street who have never been affiliated with the tea party movement are alarmed with the spending and the debt that we have. – Kristi Noem

120803. I am honored that my freshman class colleagues have put their trust in me to represent our historic class at the leadership table. The incoming freshman class of Representatives is large and diverse but we share many common goals including cutting wasteful spending, getting our economy back on track and making government smarter and more efficient. – Kristi Noem

120804. A lot of people have tried to put labels on me, but right now I’m focused on being Kristi Noem and getting my message out to South Dakotans. – Kristi Noem

120805. Every one says: ‘Listen, I’d love to reinvest. I’d love to hire people. But I have no idea what this healthcare bill is going to do to my bottom line. I have no idea what this financial reform bill is going to do… I’m not going to step out a limb and do any of those until I know what this government is going to do to me.’ – Kristi Noem

120806. I think the American people have become more reliant upon government and less reliant upon themselves and that they now tend to put security ahead of freedom, but I think freedom is the most important aspect of our lives. – Lyn Nofziger

120807. A better educated electorate might change the reason many persons vote. – Lyn Nofziger

120808. That guns do more than protect us from criminals; more importantly, they protect us from the ongoing threat of government. – Lyn Nofziger

120809. Freedom is our most precious commodity and if we are not eternally vigilant, government will take it all away. Individual freedom demands individual responsibility. – Lyn Nofziger

120810. These things I believe: that government should butt out. – Lyn Nofziger

120811. The tree of liberty needs to be watered from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants. – Lyn Nofziger

120812. The reason this country continues its drift toward socialism and big nanny government is because too many people vote in the expectation of getting something for nothing, not because they have a concern for what is good for the country. – Lyn Nofziger

120813. The best thing going for us is Al Gore. I cannot conceive how the American people could elect him. On the other hand, I couldn’t conceive how they could elect a Jimmy Carter or Bill Clinton – especially Clinton in ’96. – Lyn Nofziger

120814. That government is not a necessary good but an unavoidable evil. – Lyn Nofziger

120815. That foreign trade should be fair rather than free. – Lyn Nofziger

120816. Several things about Reagan are unusual in a public man. He was not a typical politician at all, but a private man in public life. – Lyn Nofziger

120817. He and Reagan were not at all alike, because Reagan is an optimist and Dick Nixon wasn’t. Yet in some ways they were alike. Neither really liked to talk on the telephone, for instance. And, in a lot of respects, both of them were very much loners. – Lyn Nofziger

120818. Most politicians – those people who live, eat and breathe politics – like to sit around and talk about politics and tell political war stories. Reagan didn’t do that. His war stories were movie war stories and Hollywood war stories. He loved that. – Lyn Nofziger

120819. I’m not a social friend of the Reagans. That’s by their choice and by mine. They don’t drink enough. – Lyn Nofziger

120820. Government should work to insure the rights of the individual, not plot to take them away. – Lyn Nofziger

120821. I don’t like government, it’s just that simple. – Lyn Nofziger

120822. The executive branch has grown too strong, the judicial branch too arrogant and the legislative branch too stupid. – Lyn Nofziger

120823. I sometimes lie awake at night trying to think of something funny that Richard Nixon said. – Lyn Nofziger

120824. I cannot show remorse because I do not believe I am guilty. – Lyn Nofziger

120825. One of the things that bothers me most is the growing belief in the country that security is more important than freedom. It ain’t. – Lyn Nofziger

120826. Appreciate the moment. – Isamu Noguchi

120827. The best actors instinctively feel out what the other actors need, and they just accommodate it. – Christopher Nolan

120828. As soon as television became the only secondary way in which films were watched, films had to adhere to a pretty linear system, whereby you can drift off for ten minutes and go and answer the phone and not really lose your place. – Christopher Nolan

120829. I think of painting without subject matter as music without words. – Kenneth Noland

120830. I’ve also been willing to share any help that I could give to any other artist. – Kenneth Noland

120831. With artists of my own generation there was at first no group identity – and never a clique. – Kenneth Noland

120832. Usually I throw away what I don’t get right the first time. – Kenneth Noland

120833. The scene then as now was centered in New York. For the most part, I’ve kept a bit apart from that attractive and seductive city. I’ve done it by living in the country within commuting distance. – Kenneth Noland

120834. In the ’50s Morris Louis and I were not known, David Smith and Helen Frankenthaler were not much known. – Kenneth Noland

120835. As time goes on, I realize more and more that, beginning in the early 30’s, David Smith began setting the precedent for what was to come later for many of us. – Kenneth Noland

120836. For me context is the key – from that comes the understanding of everything. – Kenneth Noland

120837. Context begins with other artists – seniors and mentors. – Kenneth Noland

120838. Clem had made it known that Pollock was a great painter. – Kenneth Noland

120839. Because of this the representation I’m interested in is of those things only the eye can touch. – Kenneth Noland

120840. Pollock was well known, certainly, but for all the wrong reasons. He was known as much for being wild and unconventional in his working methods as for being a great artist. – Kenneth Noland

120841. I met David Smith through my former wife, Cornelia, who’d studied with him. – Kenneth Noland

120842. Art is exalted above religion and race. Not a single solitary soul these days believes in the religions of the Assyrians, the Egyptians and the Greeks… Only their art, whenever it was beautiful, stands proud and exalted, rising above all time. – Emil Nolde

120843. Clever people master life; the wise illuminate it and create fresh difficulties. – Emil Nolde

120844. The art of an artist must be his own art. It is… always a continuous chain of little inventions, little technical discoveries of one’s own, in one’s relation to the tool, the material and the colors. – Emil Nolde

120845. The artist need not know very much; best of all let him work instinctively and paint as naturally as he breathes or walks. – Emil Nolde

120846. What an artist learns matters little. What he himself discovers has a real worth for him, and gives him the necessary incitement to work. – Emil Nolde

120850. A life of frustration is inevitable for any coach whose main enjoyment is winning. – Chuck Noll

120851. The key to a winning season is focusing on one opponent at a time. Winning one week at a time. Never look back and never look ahead. – Chuck Noll

120852. It’s not pleasant when you lose your whole football team. – Chuck Noll

120853. Of all the joys that lighten suffering earth, what joy is welcomed like a newborn child? – Dorothy L. Nolte

120854. Now, there is always a tremendous fear of science and progressing forward into areas of the unknown and it is a valid fear. Some of the genetic alterations of food are a little edgy. – Nick Nolte

120855. You have to struggle a bit, hustle a little, and be willing to go bankrupt. Once you’re willing to do that, everything opens up and you get the freedom. My joke is that next year, I’ll make the first film that costs zero dollars. – Nick Nolte

120856. We truly have an ancient part of the brain that was about survival when we were prey but we seem to have gone past prey. We eat everything and nothing eats us. – Nick Nolte

120857. If you’re older you want to tell stories about the pool of human life and living and to communicate, not only to your age group but to do an age group that can begin to understand, that has enough experience of life far beyond the taste of life. – Nick Nolte

120858. If you feel you have a film that’s valid, you stick your ass on the line. – Nick Nolte

120859. I never felt comfortable in real life very well. It’s always been an awkward kind of thing for me and so when I hit the stage I just sensed freedom. I sensed here’s a place that I can have all the experiences of life and not feel uncomfortable about it. – Nick Nolte

120860. When you are making the one you are doing, you think it is the greatest film going. And then you do another one and it is a great film. – Nick Nolte

120861. People in the U.S. like good baseball, whether you’re on the home team or not. – Hideo Nomo

120862. Don’t fall in love with politicians, they’re all a disappointment. They can’t help it, they just are. – Peggy Noonan

120863. If you commit a big crime then you are crazy, and the more heinous the crime the crazier you must be. Therefore you are not responsible, and nothing is your fault. – Peggy Noonan

120864. I think miracles exist in part as gifts and in part as clues that there is something beyond the flat world we see. – Peggy Noonan

120865. I love eulogies. They are the most moving kind of speech because they attempt to pluck meaning from the fog, and on short order, when the emotions are still ragged and raw and susceptible to leaps. – Peggy Noonan

120866. Beware the politically obsessed. They are often bright and interesting, but they have something missing in their natures; there is a hole, an empty place, and they use politics to fill it up. It leaves them somehow misshapen. – Peggy Noonan

120867. A great speech is literature. – Peggy Noonan

120868. Candor is a compliment; it implies equality. It’s how true friends talk. – Peggy Noonan

120869. Abortion is either OK or it’s not. – Peggy Noonan

120870. Let’s cause some senators distress. – Peggy Noonan

120871. My generation, faced as it grew with a choice between religious belief and existential despair, chose marijuana. Now we are in our Cabernet stage. – Peggy Noonan

120872. Part of courage is simple consistency. – Peggy Noonan

120873. Sincerity and competence is a strong combination. In politics, it is everything. – Peggy Noonan

120874. Speeches are not magic and there is no great speech without great policy. – Peggy Noonan

120875. The 2008 election settled nothing, not even for a while. Our national politics are reflecting what appears to be going on geologically, on the bottom of the oceans and beneath the crust of the Earth: the tectonic plates are moving. – Peggy Noonan

120876. The battle for the mind of Ronald Reagan was like the trench warfare of World War I: never have so many fought so hard for such barren terrain. – Peggy Noonan

120877. TV gives everyone an image, but radio gives birth to a million images in a million brains. – Peggy Noonan

120878. You don’t have to be old in America to say of a world you lived in: That world is gone. – Peggy Noonan

120879. If you join government, calmly make your contribution and move on. Don’t go along to get along; do your best and when you have to – and you will – leave, and be something else. – Peggy Noonan

120880. I’m spoiled – in all ways. I’ve been in a rock ‘n’ roll band since I was 13, and we had incredible success. When it ended, it had been so good that I just looked at it as time to try something different. – Peter Noone

120881. There’s an element of tongue-in-cheek in every one of our songs. Walking off into the sunset, holding hands, and being married forever was not exactly a brand new idea. – Peter Noone

120882. I only went a year to high school. I should have been in high school, but I was in a band, and when you’re successful doing that – well, you aren’t too likely to go back. – Peter Noone

120883. Everybody gets to a stage when it’s time to move on. I was bored, and the band wasn’t going anywhere, so I left. I did a couple of shows on Broadway and some other things. I was busy. I just wasn’t making records. – Peter Noone

120884. What’s really fun is seeing mothers bringing their daughters to the shows. And the best part is the mothers know they don’t have to worry about sexual innuendo in the songs. The shows are family shows. – Peter Noone

120885. Sometime I wish the aliens would abduct me and crown me as their leader. – George Noory

120886. Well, with prophecy you got to see what happens. – George Noory

120887. What I do is create an aura of mystery. – George Noory

120888. You do something annual every year, don’t you? – George Noory

120889. Civilization is built on a number of ultimate principles… respect for human life, the punishment of crimes against property and persons, the equality of all good citizens before the law… or, in a word justice. – Max Nordau

120890. If I despised myself, it would be no compensation if everyone saluted me, and if I respect myself, it does not trouble me if others hold me lightly. – Max Nordau

120891. It is well to be alone. It fertilizes the creative impulse. – Max Nordau

120892. The artist writes, paints, sings or dances the burden of some idea or feeling off his mind. – Max Nordau

120895. I defy anyone to get a decision that quickly these days. – Denis Norden

120896. I used to like writing for comedians – I enjoyed the challenge of making other people funny. – Denis Norden

120897. If the laughter of the audience was malicious we wouldn’t show it. – Denis Norden

120898. It’s like your children talking about holidays, you find they have a quite different memory of it from you. Perhaps everything is not how it is, but how it’s remembered. – Denis Norden

120899. The comedians all finished their acts with a song. They would get a certain amount of money from the song publishers and would use that money to pay the writers. None of them paid very much for their comedy material, but it all added up. – Denis Norden

120900. Then after that came word processors and it’s hard to make those laugh. – Denis Norden

120901. And if you can offer an explanation as to why it doesn’t work then you’ve got to the whole root of comedy. – Denis Norden

120902. Frank liked administrative work and was good at it. – Denis Norden

120903. And when you’re on your own there is that terrifying possibility that you may be the only person on the planet who thinks it’s funny – and you have no way of finding out. – Denis Norden

120904. If I know I make this much trouble, I never climb Everest. – Tenzing Norgay

120905. If it is a shame to be the second man on Mount Everest, then I will have to live with this shame. – Tenzing Norgay

120906. Am I an Apple bigot? No. I can critique their products and their customer service philosophy. But overall, they do better than any other player. – Donald Norman

120907. Readers always seem to think that the author has some control over the design of their books. – Donald Norman

120908. Scientists are always skeptics. – Donald Norman

120909. Market segmentation s a natural result of the vast differences among people. – Donald Norman

120910. Knowing how people will use something is essential. – Donald Norman

120911. It is relatively easy to design for the perfect cases, when everything goes right, or when all the information required is available in proper format. – Donald Norman

120912. Also note that invariably when we design something that can be used by those with disabilities, we often make it better for everyone. – Donald Norman

120913. Isn’t one of your first exercises in learning how to communicate to write a description of how to tie your shoelaces? The point being that it’s basically impossible to use text to show that. – Donald Norman

120914. I prefer design by experts – by people who know what they are doing. – Donald Norman

120915. AS for all those mistakes I make – they are on purpose – to teach you how to deal with them. – Donald Norman

120916. Beauty and brains, pleasure and usability – they should go hand in hand. – Donald Norman

120917. Everyday people are not very good designers. – Donald Norman

120918. Our information lives will be better served when we are free to get to our information from wherever we are, with any device available. – Donald Norman

120919. I believe that robots should only have faces if they truly need them. – Donald Norman

120920. I believe that the Apple Shuffle is an excellent compromise among the conflicting requirements of simplicity, elegance, size, battery life, and function. – Donald Norman

120921. And to get real work experience, you need a job, and most jobs will require you to have had either real work experience or a graduate degree. – Donald Norman

120922. A big ethical question is what happens after people stop using the device. Does it degrade the environment? Could it have been designed so it would actually be good for the environment? – Donald Norman

120923. I think there is a tendency in science to measure what is measurable and to decide that what you cannot measure must be uninteresting. – Donald Norman

120924. I’ve been looking at the iPod- the Apple iPod. One of the interesting things about the iPod, one of the things that people love most about it is not the technology; it’s the box it comes in. – Donald Norman

120925. If you think the products don’t match what you want from a product, don’t buy it. – Donald Norman

120926. In my opinion, no single design is apt to be optimal for everyone. – Donald Norman

120927. User-centered design means working with your users all throughout the project. – Donald Norman

120928. To me, error analysis is the sweet spot for improvement. – Donald Norman

120929. We expert teachers know that motivation and emotional impact are what matter. – Donald Norman

120930. So what does a good teacher do? Create tension – but just the right amount. – Donald Norman

120931. Sure, one can always get the students to relax and be happy – entertained, but although being laid back and relax can also lead to creativity, mostly it means that nothing much gets done. – Donald Norman

120932. The problem with emotion was that it was clearly something important, but-at least according to the old philosophy-it was something to overcome. – Donald Norman

120933. You won’t catch me giving clear lectures. – Donald Norman

120934. Many are called but few are chosen. There are sayings of Christ which suggest that the Church he came to establish will always be a minority affair. – Edward Norman

120935. Well, I think any national championship is an extremely important championship to play in. – Greg Norman

120936. People in this room must have back problems, I’m sure some of us do, and it is really, really one of the worst pains and debilitating parts of your body that you can actually have because you really can’t do anything in your life when you have it. – Greg Norman

120937. So my game is solid. So that obviously makes me feel confident, that like anybody else in this field, you name them, I feel like I’ve got the ability to win the golf tournament just as much as they have, and that’s the way I’m going to take it. – Greg Norman

120938. That’s why we have practice rounds. We make the adjustments as we go around, try and find out how to play the golf course the best we can. No big deal, it’s nothing to me, it’s the same for me as it is to everybody and we’re all trying to understand it. – Greg Norman

120939. The game of golf doesn’t come rushing back to you. Last week I made a couple of fundamental mistakes that I probably wouldn’t have made in the heat of the battle back when I was in my heyday, and those things have got to come back. – Greg Norman

120940. To me I’ve just really, really found a relaxed, peaceful side of my life and I’m enjoying it. – Greg Norman

120941. My doctor asked me how many golf balls I had hit in my career. I’m lying there in bed calculating somewhere between four and five million golf balls I had hit to do that on my body. – Greg Norman

120942. What’s a good tournament for him? Winning it. He’s good enough. – Greg Norman

120943. When I turned 50, I said to myself, well, if this is what it’s like turning 50, I can’t wait to turn 60 because I still felt very, very mentally and physically good, outside my back surgery. – Greg Norman

120944. When you see that many people with a smile on their face, then you must be doing something right. – Greg Norman

120945. The players have competed on the level the last 25 or 30 years are always going to be the players that compete at a high level. These guys practice hard, they work on their game, they still hit the ball extremely well. – Greg Norman

120946. Obviously it’s my second senior event, and I’m tired obviously coming back from the British Open, from surgery, which was priority No. 1, did that successfully, and each week since the British Open I’ve felt in pretty good control of my golf game. – Greg Norman

120947. I’ve really got no complaints about the way I played, just extremely frustrating with the putter and I’m sure there’s a lot of other players saying the same thing except the guy who’s going to win the golf tournament. – Greg Norman

120948. I’m not interested at all in playing more than 12, 15 tournaments a year on an annual basis because like all the old guys out here on this Tour, we’ve played golf for nearly 30 years of our lives. – Greg Norman

120949. I wouldn’t call it bitter. I think it’s just sweet. I’ve always believed my life seems like it’s gotten better and better as each decade has gone by. So I don’t see any I don’t see any bitterness about it. – Greg Norman

120950. I think it’s great the opportunity is given to all of us really to come out and play major championships after the real major championships have gone beyond us. – Greg Norman

120951. I owe a lot to my parents, especially by mother and my father. – Greg Norman

120952. I mean, I can actually say goodbye to the game of golf, never hit another golf shot the rest of my life and I’d be happy because I can get back in life without any rotation. – Greg Norman

120953. I don’t see myself playing or adjusting my schedule for senior tournament golf. – Greg Norman

120954. I always wanted to be the best I could be at whatever I did. I didn’t want to be the number one golfer in the world. I just wanted to be as good as I could be. I work hard, I push myself hard, and I probably even expect too much of myself. – Greg Norman

120955. Being away for the weekends, and me being the international player that I have been for those 30 years, I’ve spent a lot more time flying around the world, playing different golf tournaments around the world. – Greg Norman

120956. You know, like I said, I’m not going to adjust my Senior Tour schedule. – Greg Norman

120957. On 18 you’ve got to drive it up a gnat’s ass. – Greg Norman

120958. Problems arise in that one has to find a balance between what people need from you and what you need for yourself. – Jessye Norman

120959. I’m dying always. – Jessye Norman

120960. If you send up a weather vane or put your thumb up in the air every time you want to do something different, to find out what people are going to think about it, you’re going to limit yourself. That’s a very strange way to live. – Jessye Norman

120961. I am grateful that my horizons were not narrowed at the outset. – Jessye Norman

120962. I have a particular affliction. I am unable to say a word I can’t spell. – Jessye Norman

120963. Perhaps it should only be added that the Gorean master, though often strict, is seldom cruel. The girl knows, if she pleases him, her lot will be an easy one. – John Norman

120964. Slave girls on Gor address all free men as Master, though, of course only one such would be her true Master. – John Norman

120965. It is one thing to own a woman, and it is another to have her within the bonds of an excellent mastery. – John Norman

120966. According to the Gorean way of looking at things a taste of the slave ring is thought to be occasionally beneficial to all women, even the exalted free woman. – John Norman

120967. A Gorean slave girl in the presence of a free man or woman always kneels, unless excused from doing so. – John Norman

120968. The man who respects a woman does not know what else to do with her. – John Norman

120969. I know I stand visibly onstage, but my function is still unseen, because I rarely see the immediate results of what I am saying or doing or writing. – Larry Norman

120970. Jesus got me through the slums without getting murdered. I just walked with him as though he were really there and not a spirit just floating around. – Larry Norman

120971. We need worship for our spirit, fellowship for our soul and committed subservience for our body. – Larry Norman

120972. Only in a concert situation do I have access to people directly to preach to them, and I don’t believe that the bigger your platform is, the more people will pay attention. – Larry Norman

120973. Life is God’s art. – Larry Norman

120974. I’m only here on Earth to serve God. I never had a career. I don’t care about commercialism. I have a ministry and I’ll fight for the ministry. – Larry Norman

120975. I want to encourage other people to try to discover who they are, not to try to fit into some superficial prototype of what they think a Christian should be, but to discover who they really are. – Larry Norman

120976. I feel that Christian music is a subculture directed towards the Christians. It’s not really being exposed to non-Christians and it’s not really created for non-Christians, so non-Christians almost never hear any of this music. – Larry Norman

120977. Gospel songs to me are about the mansion in the sky, and washed in the blood of Christ’s crimson blood, songs that are filled with biblical wording that’s no longer understood by a lot of people. – Larry Norman

120978. Art is more engaging that propaganda. – Larry Norman

120979. I’m fishing for men with a certain kind of bait, and the bait that I am offering is not a candy; it’s a very specific thing that I’m offering, which is a deep gospel and a deep conversion. – Larry Norman

120980. Success is always something that you have to recover from. – Marsha Norman

120981. Dreams are illustrations… from the book your soul is writing about you. – Marsha Norman

120983. People do think that if they avoid the truth, it might change to something better before they have to hear it. – Marsha Norman

120984. Our goal is to shrink government to the size where we can drown it in a bathtub. – Grover Norquist

120985. We want to reduce the size of government in half as a percentage of GNP over the next 25 years. We want to reduce the number of people depending on government so there is more autonomy and more free citizens. – Grover Norquist

120986. The statists want to control the economy. – Grover Norquist

120987. My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub. – Grover Norquist

120988. Every time you cut programs, you take away a person who has a vested interest in high taxes and you put him on the tax rolls and make him a taxpayer. A farmer on subsidies is part welfare bum, whereas a free-market farmer is a small businessman with a gun. – Grover Norquist

120989. Being married is kind of like being a Ken-doll; you don’t get to dress yourself anymore. – Grover Norquist

120990. Obsessions turn people off. – Grover Norquist

120991. Clinton and Obama practice this politics known quaintly as the Richard Speck strategy: if you cannot take on everyone in the room at once, take them out of the room one at a time. – Grover Norquist

120992. I’ve always found that anything worth achieving will always have obstacles in the way and you’ve got to have that drive and determination to overcome those obstacles on route to whatever it is that you want to accomplish. – Chuck Norris

120993. Violence is my last option. – Chuck Norris

120994. Some of the most miserable people I know are some of the richest people in America, they are the most miserable individuals I’ve ever seen. – Chuck Norris

120995. People need to realise what real happiness and success is, because success as an actor is fleeting. You can be up there one day and gone the next. – Chuck Norris

120996. Men are like steel. When they lose their temper, they lose their worth. – Chuck Norris

120997. It wasn’t until I went to Korea out of high school and got exposed to the martial arts for the first time and was just completely enamored with the physical ability of the martial arts and making my black belt. – Chuck Norris

120998. I’ve been very fortunate to be able to use my series as a platform to show a good message for the kids. – Chuck Norris

120999. I’m a very religious person. – Chuck Norris

121000. I think setting a goal, getting a visual image of what it is you want. You’ve got to see what it is you want to achieve before you can pursue it. – Chuck Norris
