132413. The trouble is that after nine years as a Jack of all trades and Master of the Dominican Order, I have no expertise on anything except airports and exotic foods. – Timothy Radcliffe

132414. What can the Church do? If she stands by her moral teaching, then she will be seen as standing in judgement over a vast percentage of Europeans. – Timothy Radcliffe

132415. To be frank, I suspect that today there is little respect for Christianity as source of moral teaching about goodness. – Timothy Radcliffe

132416. Clearly a big challenge for Christianity is how to remain in contact with the millions of people who look for God but do not come to Church. – Timothy Radcliffe

132417. One of our deepest needs is to be at home. – Timothy Radcliffe

132418. All the Abrahamic faiths are marked by violence. – Timothy Radcliffe

132419. At the centre of Christianity is community; we are gathered by the Lord around the altar. – Timothy Radcliffe

132420. Celibacy is not just a matter of not having sex. It is a way of admiring a person for their humanity, maybe even for their beauty. – Timothy Radcliffe

132421. Thinking that morality is all about commandments is a relatively new way of thinking, since the Reformation. – Timothy Radcliffe

132422. Claiming that you have got the truth wrapped up does breed violence and intolerance. – Timothy Radcliffe

132423. Despite all the lunacy of the last century, all the absurdity of war and genocide, we believe that humans being are rational and are made to seek the truth. – Timothy Radcliffe

132424. I believe that his death and resurrection transformed humanity’s relationship with God. – Timothy Radcliffe

132425. I believe that my own Christian faith does indeed make universal claims. – Timothy Radcliffe

132426. Indeed if we Christians so tell our story that Judaism is silenced, then we have not spoken rightly of Christ. – Timothy Radcliffe

132427. Most religions live from a narrative that shapes their relationship with the divine other, God or the gods, and with the human other, the stranger. – Timothy Radcliffe

132428. Christians can bring peace to multi-religious Europe because we are able to understand the role of faith in the lives of other believers better than atheists. – Timothy Radcliffe

132429. Every social organisation which is rooted in life still lasts a long time, even after the conditions from which it drew its strength have changed in a manner unfavourable to it. – Karl Radek

132430. The mass of workers, as yet non-Socialist, is retarded in its development towards Socialism. – Karl Radek

132431. The enmity of such a party towards Socialism does not mean that the members are only prejudiced against it because they do not know it; it means that they are possessed of bourgeois ideas, and wish to determine their policy accordingly. – Karl Radek

132432. Life provides material for its agitation which makes its general views comprehensible to the masses. – Karl Radek

132433. If a Labour movement, on a bourgeois basis, has hitherto existed in the country where the new movement is awakening it will certainly not disappear all at once. – Karl Radek

132434. A Labour party is not a debating club, it is a party of action. – Karl Radek

132435. In general, if signs of sectarianism do appear in a Socialist Party, these are only the products of the absence of a broad Labour movement in the country. – Karl Radek

132436. Thus in such a Labour Party there can be no question of independent policy. – Karl Radek

132437. The Social-Democratic Federation took part in all the political and economic struggles of the English working class; it took pains to bring Socialist views home to them, not only through agitation and propaganda, but also by actions. – Karl Radek

132438. Without Socialism the working class is a heterogeneous mixture of different categories, some of which have independent, varying interests, sometimes opposed to each other. – Karl Radek

132439. Originality consists in trying to be like everybody else and failing. – Raymond Radiguet

132440. The goal is to live a full, productive life even with all that ambiguity. No matter what hap- pens, whether the cancer never flares up again or whether you die, the important thing is that the days that you have had you will have lived. – Gilda Radner

132441. Comedy is very controlling – you are making people laugh. – Gilda Radner

132442. While we have the gift of life, it seems to me the only tragedy is to allow part of us to die – whether it is our spirit, our creativity or our glorious uniqueness. – Gilda Radner

132443. I’m so full I can’t hear. – Gilda Radner

132444. You feel completely in control when you hear a wave of laughter coming back at you that you have caused. – Gilda Radner

132445. I wanted a perfect ending. Now I’ve learned, the hard way, that some poems don’t rhyme, and some stories don’t have a clear beginning, middle and end. – Gilda Radner

132446. Life is about not knowing, having to change, taking the moment and making the best of it, without knowing what’s going to happen next. – Gilda Radner

132447. I can always be distracted by love, but eventually I get horny for my creativity. – Gilda Radner

132448. I base my fashion taste on what doesn’t itch. – Gilda Radner

132449. Dreams are like paper, they tear so easily. – Gilda Radner

132450. Adopted kids are such a pain – you have to teach them how to look like you. – Gilda Radner

132451. I’d much rather be a woman than a man. Women can cry, they can wear cute clothes, and they’re the first to be rescued off sinking ships. – Gilda Radner

132452. I base most of my fashion taste on what doesn’t itch. – Gilda Radner

132453. This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius. – James Rado

132454. The draft is white people sending black people to fight yellow people to protect the country they stole from red people. – James Rado

132455. I think I started out trying to be very objective about the flow of the play. – James Rado

132456. Love is stronger than hate. – Bob Rae

132457. You can take wonderfully talented actors, wonderfully talented writers and producers, and, uh, do a wonderful show!… but if it doesn’t hit with the public in two minutes, it’s bye-bye. – Charlotte Rae

132458. Because of the power of television, I was visible to everybody all over the world. But there are many things in the theater that are more fulfilling and that I look forward to doing more. But really, I love it all: theater, film, television. – Charlotte Rae

132459. I always learned to be philanthropic… to give back. – Charlotte Rae

132460. They very seldom let me lose my cool. They made me like I was Polly Perfect, which was ridiculous so that when I bump into kids on the street they’d say ‘I wish my Mom were like you.’ – Charlotte Rae

132461. We used to listen to all the marvelous operas on records. Music was a very important part of our lives. – Charlotte Rae

132462. I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts, there can be no more hurt, only more love. – Daphne Rae

132463. We feel an enormous sense of gratitude towards the American people. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132464. What’s very important is that we build a space that matters in the world, one that operates according to democratic rules, and that small and large countries enjoy a good relationship. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132465. We would like UN resolutions to be enforced, including on Iraq. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132466. We shall say clearly that any symbol conspicuously displaying religious affiliation in school is prohibited. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132467. The Republic is open and tolerant but also knows how and when to be firm and make its values respected. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132468. We have come a long way in terms of foreign policy. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132469. When I see the cultural diversity that exists today, I feel that we must defend it, and we need Europe, because otherwise we are going to live in a society with a single model, the Anglo-American model. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132470. We believe that the European Union is facing a truly historic choice. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132471. This constitution recognises the need for social dialogue involving labour and management; it involves trade unions in the decision-making process; it has a social vision founded on social dialogue. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132472. There have been major disagreements within the European Union. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132473. The United States, for a French citizen, is a friend, an ally, to whom we owe, along with most Europeans, our freedom. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132474. We must stress that the euro has been beneficial to the European Union because, otherwise, in this context of international turmoil, every country would have to devalue their currencies. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132475. The Europe we are in the process of building is the Europe of the 21st century; it’s not the Europe of the 20th century. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132476. I tell fundamentalists that there is no question of them attacking our Republic’s foundations. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132477. I think that the proposed constitution is one of the European legal documents with the strongest social dimension I have seen since I began following European issues. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132478. I think that we must come together progressively, with the British, the Germans, the Spanish, the Italians and with the new members of the European Union, we must make an effort to forge closer links. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132479. I was a Member of the European Parliament for a period of time and I saw a lot of European laws and treaties. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132480. It’s important to show that, while authorizing the demonstrations and promoting diversity of opinion, the Republic can’t allow itself to be undermined from within. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132481. It’s true that the question of Iraq divided Europe. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132482. Let them be reassured, it has never been one of our intentions to ban religion in society, but solely to protect the national education system from any conspicuous display of religious affiliation. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132483. Obviously, there is diversity, but Europe is a union of diversity. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132484. Prohibiting a visible religious sign, which isn’t a manifestation of militancy, would look like a fight against religions. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132485. It’s a different outlook, and one that I understand. When you are a former member of the Warsaw Pact, when you have lived behind the Berlin Wall, when you have experienced the communist systems that existed in these countries, for them, the West represents hope. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132486. A country like France now does two-thirds of its trade within the euro zone. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132487. But the Republic has its rules and it must not tolerate any abuse of them. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132488. Europe started out with six countries; three small countries and three large countries. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132489. France has a very important relationship with Germany. But that does not mean that we agree about everything or that two of our universities or companies are not going to compete. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132490. I am a believer, but I affirm that in public buildings the law of the Republic overrides religious rules. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132491. I believe that transatlantic relations are very important and that President Bush’s visit to Brussels, in a few days, will have a major impact on that. – Jean-Pierre Raffarin

132492. When al-Qaeda was on the run from Afghanistan crossing through Iran, some were arrested and they are imprisoned. Some of them are charged with some actions in Iran. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132493. The important matter is freedom. When the people choose what they want, it is good for them and for us. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132494. The United States is a big country but unfortunately it seems it has the brain of a little bird not befitting the greatness of the country. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132495. We did not treat the Americans badly. They left Iran in a relaxed mood. The embassy was active here after the revolution. We didn’t have any problem with them. They started it. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132496. We do not trust the goodwill of the U.S. They have cut the ties. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132497. We don’t have a major problem right now in our country, and life is normal. Things like unemployment, which the youth are suffering from, and the rate of inflation – these are chronic conditions and we have to solve them. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132498. We don’t have any bad memories of the people of the United States. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132499. When I talk about the assets, that was at the beginning of the talks. I was president then. I’m not president now. When I said it, this would be a sign of goodwill to begin the talks. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132500. We want all the Palestinians back in their homeland, and then there can be a fair referendum for people to choose the form of state they want. Whoever gets the majority can rule. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132501. Miss Rice talks very tough. We have gotten used to this nonsense. Miss Rice is a bit emotional about this, and we predicted that she would have a more emotional approach to this. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132502. The problem is that the Iraqi people are facing atrocities from both sides – Zarqawi and also the American troops at times. The Zarqawi groups uses car bombs, the Americans use other bombs. You also know what they do in the prisons. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132503. We have no problems with Jews and highly respect Judaism as a holy religion. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132504. I believe the main solution is to gain the trust of Europe and America and to remove their concerns over the peaceful nature of our nuclear industry and to assure them that there will never be a diversion to military use. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132505. If we have any problems, it’s always with the government of the United States. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132506. And they said if we help with the crisis, they would do a lot of positive acts. After we helped in those crises, they showed negative acts and the Japanese and Turks were ashamed. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132507. Both of them were the children of the United States. They sacrificed their children for the benefit of the others. But they were not very devoted children of the United States. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132508. Condi Rice talks tough but she cannot be tough herself. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132509. There is no doubt that America is a superpower of the world and we cannot ignore them. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132510. Goodwill can be indicated in various ways. I raised that particular example because at that time I was in charge. Today, I’m not in a position to present other possibilities. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132511. I have no idea what the U.S. intends to do further there and what would be the reaction of the Iraqi people. I only know that the sole option is to leave Iraq to the Iraqi people. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132512. I think that Americans should gradually begin to adopt positive behavior rather than doing evil. They should not expect an immediate reaction in return for their positive measures. It will take time. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132513. I think the elections have gone well, although there is so much insecurity in Iraq. So far during the counting of ballots, there has not been a significant complaint. We have to wait to see what the outcome of the counting is. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132514. And I gave this directive to them, that if they free our assets in the United States, that would be a sign of goodwill. I have the same idea this time. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132515. I’m not satisfied with the progress of the work, but I am happy that the talks are going on. It might have a negative effect if the United States joins. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132516. Each department and institution has its own authorities and responsibilities, and they act on that basis. It is wrong to even compare such actions to what is done in Guantanamo or elsewhere by the Americans. They do not stand on a high moral platform to preach to others. – Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani

132517. Part of the $10 million I spent on gambling, part on booze and part on women. The rest I spent foolishly. – George Raft

132518. Part of it went on gambling, and part of it went on women. The rest I spent foolishly. – George Raft

132519. I’m the sort of person who keeps a lot to myself. – Patrick Rafter

132520. I don’t know if Wimbledon’s seen anything like it. I don’t know if they will again. But it was just – it was electric. The Aussie crowd, I’m really proud of them, the way they conducted themselves. You know they’re great losers, as well. – Patrick Rafter

132521. I’m sick of making bloody history. – Patrick Rafter

132522. At this stage of the game, I am not sure what the hell is going to happen. – Bobby Rahal

132523. Being injured is something that happens in this sport. Anybody who gets into it understands that. – Bobby Rahal

132524. Competitiveness has been a big thing for me. – Bobby Rahal

132525. I am going to miss that time when you take that corner better than anybody else could have taken it on that lap or you do that great qualifying lap or you make that great pass or you bring a crippled car home. – Bobby Rahal

132526. I don’t want people to remember me going through the motions. – Bobby Rahal

132527. I guess it is the sense of personal satisfaction that racing gives you that I am probably going to miss, because in racing you get that feedback very quickly. – Bobby Rahal

132528. I have never had problems sleeping the night before a race. – Bobby Rahal

132529. I’d rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say. – Bobby Rahal

132530. I’d seen people overstay their welcome and I didn’t want that to happen at all. – Bobby Rahal

132531. Obviously it’s critical that the three cars are able to contribute to the program. I think that certainly has given much of the reason as to why we did so well at Indy over the last several years. – Bobby Rahal

132532. What’s really hit me over the years is that you go to every race and see all the well-wishers, and you really feel like you are connected with people after all these years. – Bobby Rahal

132533. In racing, I wanted to be a winner and to be a winner, you have to be willing to roll the dice. – Bobby Rahal

132534. In 1982 when I showed up, the average age of the drivers in the series was something like 40, 41. The crowds were small. There was not much prize money. The competition wasn’t very tight. – Bobby Rahal

132535. You don’t have to worry about whether the car is set up right or not, you know it is, and it’s down to you. Ultimately, that’s what every driver wants. – Bobby Rahal

132536. We tried to create advantages. We were never complacent. – Bobby Rahal

132537. We ran three cars last year. Unfortunately, as time went on, we did have to let a few people go, which we regretted, but just because of the situation. – Bobby Rahal

132538. Today, the competition is considerably more intense. – Bobby Rahal

132539. There’s a tremendous number of the Daytona Prototypes. – Bobby Rahal

132540. The place where I had so much success as a driver would be where I had my first win as a team owner. – Bobby Rahal

132541. The fans know that I have been giving it my all and that we had the good judgment to when to say when. – Bobby Rahal

132542. My son is racing his first 24-hour this year with Porsche. – Bobby Rahal

132543. As a people of faith, we know that prayer is a powerful instrument. And as one Nation under God, we know that many times our most powerful tool is prayer. – Nick Rahall

132544. Peace cannot come from punishing the Palestinian people. – Nick Rahall

132545. Today, our actions must be motivated only by our intense desire to achieve a just and lasting peace. The compassion and charity of the American people should be reflected in this legislation, though sadly, they are silenced. – Nick Rahall

132546. Today we thank God for all the blessings He has bestowed upon this great Country and ask Him to continue to heal our land and meet our needs – and we do so through the power of prayer. – Nick Rahall

132547. With that in mind and in celebration of National Prayer Day, today I have proposed in the House of Representatives a Constitutional Amendment that would restore voluntary prayer in our Nation’s schools. – Nick Rahall

132548. The President’s announcement sounded less like a national energy plan than like a page from an election-year play book. This Administration’s plan to reduce obscene oil company profits is to regulate them less. – Nick Rahall

132549. Simply put, I believe we should not seek the lowest common denominator when it comes to wilderness and saddle a wilderness designation with exceptions, exclusions, and exemptions. – Nick Rahall

132550. Reasonable, even intelligent people can, and frequently do, disagree on how best to achieve peace in the Middle East, but, peace must be the goal of our foreign policy tools, whether they be by the stick or by the carrot. – Nick Rahall

132551. Wilderness designations should not be the result of a quid pro quo. They should rise or fall on their own merits. – Nick Rahall

132552. Over the last six years, airlines have experienced severe financial pressure to leave smaller communities, making demands on the EAS program even greater. – Nick Rahall

132553. Our work to provide equal opportunities for all Americans should be a year-round mission. – Nick Rahall

132554. Madam Speaker, I have spent more than half my life as a member of the Resources Committee. In that time I have supported numerous wilderness designations. In fact, I cannot recall ever opposing a wilderness bill. – Nick Rahall

132555. I believe that the Framers of the Constitution made their intent clear when they wrote the First Amendment. I believe they wanted to keep the new government from endorsing one religion over another, not erase the public consciousness or common faith. – Nick Rahall

132556. But through world wars and a Great Depression, through painful social upheaval and a Cold War, and now through the attacks of September 11, 2001, our Nation has indeed survived. – Nick Rahall

132557. America, 5 years after this brutal attack, is testament that a Nation conceived in liberty and equality will endure. It is a triumph of millions of Americans but it is also the triumph of an idea larger than any one person, larger than any one nation. – Nick Rahall

132558. A resilient people cherishing liberty and equality and the rule of law will endure. – Nick Rahall

132559. A free people, free to believe as we wish, free to speak our minds, free to raise our children as we see fit, will, make no mistake about it, endure. – Nick Rahall

132560. We all understand that compromise is part of the legislative process, yet at the same time, I would submit that wilderness is not for sale. – Nick Rahall

132561. For hundreds of millions of Americans who believe in God, prayer is our bridge between Earth and Heaven, our way of opening our hearts to the Lord. Through this intimate relationship we find peace and guidance. – Nick Rahall

132562. Wilderness is not defined by the absence of certain activities, but rather by the presence of certain unique and invaluable characteristics. – Nick Rahall

132563. We shall fight to the last to free our Motherland. – Ziaur Rahman

132564. At his direction, I have taken command as the temporary Head of the Republic. – Ziaur Rahman

132565. How often I have found that we grow to maturity not by doing what we like, but by doing what we should. How true it is that not every ‘should’ is a compulsion, and not every ‘like’ is a high morality and true freedom. – Karl Rahner

132566. What Christ gives us is quite explicit if his own words are interpreted according to their Aramaic meaning. The expression ‘This is my Body’ means this is myself. – Karl Rahner

132567. The Christian of the future will be a mystic or he will not exist at all. – Karl Rahner

132568. Grace can and does have a history. – Karl Rahner

132569. Every year we celebrate the holy season of Advent, O God. Every year we pray those beautiful prayers of longing and waiting, and sing those lovely songs of hope and promise. – Karl Rahner

132570. Grace is everywhere as an active orientation of all created reality toward God. – Karl Rahner

132571. I was more excited than scared, at the opportunity to work in an English movie. – Aishwarya Rai

132572. Sexy in India is not considered positive. But, with today’s crop of fresh faces in the modelling arena, being sexy is an asset. – Aishwarya Rai

132573. Right now, I’m following the Buddhist principle: Smile as abuse is hurled your way and this too shall pass. – Aishwarya Rai

132574. My family is my strength and my weakness. – Aishwarya Rai

132575. I was studying to be an architect, I wasn’t plotting to join the movies. Films were just another career option. I took acting up with the same schoolgirl enthusiasm I had for examinations. Acting is a job and I take it very seriously. – Aishwarya Rai

132576. I know for a fact that if there’s a role which I am suited for, I’ll be signed on. I’ll never go begging. – Aishwarya Rai

132577. I have a great story to tell… and I tell it well. No holds barred. – Aishwarya Rai

132578. I always believed that my silence on several topics will be an advantage in the long run. – Aishwarya Rai

132579. Even in India the Hindi film industry might be the best known but there are movies made in other regional languages in India, be it Tamil or Bengali. Those experiences too are different from the ones in Bombay. – Aishwarya Rai

132580. I’m not the type who’ll yell about my achievements from the rooftops. – Aishwarya Rai

132581. Do you have any ambitions outside racing? My main ambition at the moment, whether inside or outside racing, is to become Formula 1 World Champion. – Kimi Raikkonen

132582. I realized what interested me as a student of film was one thing and the movies that I liked were another. – Sam Raimi

132583. I think she said I should seek help. Something like that, but it was in much cruder terms. And that I had a fascination with things coming out of people’s mouths. – Sam Raimi

132584. That’s what heroic stories do for us. They show us the way. They remind us of the good we are capable of. – Sam Raimi

132585. I don’t like shows, I don’t like to put on a show, I just really want to work intimately with my actors. – Sam Raimi

132586. Great writers arrive among us like new diseases threatening, powerful, impatient for patients to pick up their virus, irresistible. – Craig Raine

132587. The task of the artist at any time is uncompromisingly simple to discover what has not yet been done, and to do it. – Craig Raine

132588. I couldn’t claim that I have never felt the urge to explore evil, but when you descend into hell you have to be very careful. – Kathleen Raine

132589. There are times when it is more courageous to be cowardly. – Norman Reilly Raine

132590. A fat stomach sticks out too far. It prevents you from looking down and seeing what is going on around you. – Norman Reilly Raine

132591. An artist should remain true. Otherwise his talent, like his stomach, grows fat and stuffy. – Norman Reilly Raine

132592. They flooded liquidity in the marketplace but the mortgage rate is based much more on expectations of inflation. So if the average investor believes that there is inflation coming, they’ll move that rate up. – Franklin Raines

132593. We are shrinking the size of the federal government as a percent of our economy from over 21 percent of the economy to 19 percent of the economy. At the same time, we’re growing the private economy. – Franklin Raines

132594. We think if the economy remains weak that we could see mortgage rates trail down and we think that we could see rates below seven percent into early next year. – Franklin Raines

132595. Well, I think as long as people are talking about stimulus, I think the Fed will be thinking about cutting rates because monetary policy is the better way to go because you can turn it on and turn it off. – Franklin Raines

132596. Well, I think the best form would be to put money directly in the pockets of consumers. – Franklin Raines

132597. Well, now, and there’s – for every dollar the federal government spends, there’s real people on the other side, and so when we talk about reductions that are going to affect providers, that’s going to affect hospitals and doctors and others. – Franklin Raines

132598. Well, there are about 10 million children that aren’t covered by health insurance. About 3 million qualify for Medicaid but don’t get it, so we’re going to reach out and bring more of those kids into the Medicaid program. – Franklin Raines

132599. Well, we’re just now seeing the reductions in mortgage rates. The mortgage rates are based on the ten-year rate and the Fed controls the overnight or the shorter rates. – Franklin Raines

132600. Well, you know, we’ve got a lot of stimulus in the economy already from the tax cut, from the lowered interest rates, and also from the refinancing of mortgages. – Franklin Raines

132601. I think if you go beyond a year – if this continues into the system in the out years, I think there is a risk and that – that we could have a negative reaction in the bond market and that will offset the good that was attempted to be done. – Franklin Raines

132602. And so we have to be careful with looking at additional stimulus that we don’t provoke an increase in the bond rate and then offset a lot of the stimulus we’ve already got. – Franklin Raines

132607. Right now we think that rates will stay low, that you’ll be able to get a mortgage below seven percent and that’s kicked off a refinance boom that’s going to put more money in the pockets of consumers. – Franklin Raines

132621. The advent of a new religion, making serious and impressive claims to embody a new revelation from on high, is not a frequent occurrence. – Robert Rainy

132622. For the standard of Christian life was to be strained to a higher pitch; more fasting was required, and more careful separation from the manners and enjoyments of the world; celibacy and martyrdom had great value set upon them, and second marriages were prohibited. – Robert Rainy

132623. Meanwhile the Church more and more provided for the doctrine of the Holy Spirit, by practically chaining His influence to the hierarchy and the sacraments. – Robert Rainy

132630. Sometimes I’m more true when I’m up onstage than I’m able to be in my regular life. It’s not as exciting to be at home, but I’ve got to learn how to make that work, and then I will be an ordinary woman. – Bonnie Raitt

132631. There’s nothing like living a long time to create a depth and soulfulness in your music. – Bonnie Raitt

132633. There were so many great music and political scenes going on in the late ’60s in Cambridge. The ratio of guys to girls at Harvard was four to one, so all of those things were playing in my mind. – Bonnie Raitt

132634. I don’t think there’s ever been any music quite like what we came up with. – Bonnie Raitt

132643. I read a fan bulletin board once, and somebody said I had a face like a potato, so I never went back on there. – Mary Lynn Rajskub

132644. I hadn’t even watched ’24’ before, and the audition was kind of far away. When I got the material, there wasn’t a character yet, so it almost seemed like an assistant to Jack Bauer saying, ‘Yes, sir. No, sir.’ – Mary Lynn Rajskub

132645. Chloe is really just like an exaggerated aspect of myself. – Mary Lynn Rajskub

132646. The more I get to do this character, the more I realize that she’s not just annoying. It’s that her strength is not interacting with people socially. She just doesn’t have time because she has so much going on in her brain. – Mary Lynn Rajskub

132647. At the time, there were very few foreign names in the press and they were all factory workers. I thought I’d never get a job at a university with a foreign name. – Carl Rakosi

132667. Anyway, I tried liking Jimmy Corrigan but I couldn’t. – Ted Rall

132668. Comics are too big. You can’t say any kind or genre of comics is better than another. You can say so subjectively. But to say it like it’s objective is wrong. It’s wrong morally, because it cuts out stuff that’s good. – Ted Rall

132672. I think jazz is good, but I don’t enjoy it. It’s not for me. – Ted Rall

132686. That’s what I find with any good song, you just have to let it happen. Out of about twenty songs you might write, one of any significance. It might be thirty or forty, but I just keep churning them out and churning them out in hope that one of them will stick. – Mick Ralphs

132687. The parrot’s so funny. He imitates me and I don’t even realize he’s doing it. I’m walking around the house talking to myself and whistling and the next day he’s said something I’ve said… it’s scary you know? – Mick Ralphs

132688. We just sang real simple songs in a simple way that got to people. We didn’t try to tart them up with orchestral arrangements and all the stuff. We were all blues fanatics. We like R+B and blues and simple, gut-feeling music. – Mick Ralphs

132693. I’ve got a Range Rover. It’s brilliant actually but it’s manual. – Mick Ralphs

132736. Well, you have a defence attache here, that’s a step forward. Your Defence Minister has been here, our defence people have exchanges with you. So friendly relations at the military level are already in existence. – Sellapan Ramanathan

132737. Well, as you’ve said, we cannot expect the people of China not to want to progress, so if you have an opportunity to progress, to develop your economy to a world class economy, it’s an aspiration that is natural and that, I welcome. – Sellapan Ramanathan

132753. Nothing reinforces a professional relationship more than enjoying success with someone. – Harold Ramis

132754. My characters aren’t losers. They’re rebels. They win by their refusal to play by everyone else’s rules. – Harold Ramis
