147192. But you answer, that the Constitution recognizes property in slaves. It would be sufficient, then, to reply, that this constitutional recognition must be void, because it is repugnant to the law of nature and of nations. – William H. Seward
147193. But there is a higher law than the Constitution, which regulates our authority over the domain, and devotes it to the same noble purposes. – William H. Seward
147194. But the Constitution was made not only for southern and northern states, but for states neither northern nor southern, namely, the western states, their coming in being foreseen and provided for. – William H. Seward
147195. But I deny that the Constitution recognizes property in man. – William H. Seward
147196. But assuming the same premises, to wit, that all men are equal by the law of nature and of nations, the right of property in slaves falls to the ground; for one who is equal to another cannot be the owner or property of that other. – William H. Seward
147197. I submit, on the other hand, most respectfully, that the Constitution not merely does not affirm that principle, but, on the contrary, altogether excludes it. – William H. Seward
147198. It is the maintenance of slavery by law in a state, not parallels of latitude, that makes its a southern state; and the absence of this, that makes it a northern state. – William H. Seward
147199. There is a higher law than the Constitution. – William Seward
147200. There is no religion without love, and people may talk as much as they like about their religion, but if it does not teach them to be good and kind to man and beast, it is all a sham. – Anna Sewell
147201. I am never afraid of what I know. – Anna Sewell
147202. My doctrine is this, that if we see cruelty or wrong that we have the power to stop, and do nothing, we make ourselves sharers in the guilt. – Anna Sewell
147203. Now I say that with cruelty and oppression it is everybody’s business to interfere when they see it. – Anna Sewell
147204. A young man is stirred and stimulated by the consciousness of how much depends upon his own exertions: a young girl is oppressed by it. – Elizabeth Missing Sewell
147205. Obedience is the primary object of all sound education. – Elizabeth Missing Sewell
147206. Fear is the tax that conscience pays to guilt. – George Sewell
147207. The coward sneaks to death; the brave live on. – George Sewell
147208. God owns heaven but He craves the earth. – Anne Sexton
147209. The beautiful feeling after writing a poem is on the whole better even than after sex, and that’s saying a lot. – Anne Sexton
147210. Saints have no moderation, nor do poets, just exuberance. – Anne Sexton
147211. Put your ear down close to your soul and listen hard. – Anne Sexton
147212. Live or die, but don’t poison everything. – Anne Sexton
147213. Need is not quite belief. – Anne Sexton
147214. I am not immortal. Faustus and I are the also-ran. – Anne Sexton
147215. God has a brown voice, as soft and full as beer. – Anne Sexton
147216. Even without wars, life is dangerous. – Anne Sexton
147217. Death’s in the good-bye. – Anne Sexton
147218. The joy that isn’t shared dies young. – Anne Sexton
147219. In a dream you are never eighty. – Anne Sexton
147220. It doesn’t matter who my father was; it matters who I remember he was. – Anne Sexton
147221. The reason I do workshops is so I can learn, and I am fortunate that I’ve probably gained more from the whole experience of teaching than any one participant has. It is all about asking. – John Sexton
147222. In my mind I needed a symbol of today’s technology, and I realized that what I wanted to photograph was the Space Shuttle. And so that’s where Places of Power came into being. – John Sexton
147223. It had rained on some vivid green ferns in Maine and it was quite beautiful. I was moving the camera slightly and studying the ground glass. Looking at those 20 square inches, trying to find out just what were the right elements to include. – John Sexton
147224. It was amazing to watch him in the darkroom at an advanced age, still get excited when the results were pleasing. He still struggled like we all do in the darkroom and he struggled behind the camera, and when he had a success he was beaming. – John Sexton
147225. It was an experience that was exceptional. People frequently ask what it was like and it truly was inspiring. Sometimes during his lifetime, people would try and put him on a pedestal and that’s not where he wanted to be, but he was really a great individual. – John Sexton
147226. One of the workshop participants had shown me a single 8 X 10 photograph of a power plant where he actually was the general manager of this power cooperative. It was quite magical to me. – John Sexton
147227. So to me it’s very similar in terms of trying to distill within the image, those elements that are gonna form, hopefully, a compelling visual statement. – John Sexton
147228. In 1979, I received a phone call from Ansel Adams asking me if I would be willing to consider coming to work for him. I was teaching photography in Southern California at that point. – John Sexton
147229. The first day at the power plant I found myself photographing some steam vents on the roof of the structure. And I remember consciously thinking that they were just like trees but they were metal. – John Sexton
147230. We all start in this medium because of the magic and the challenge is to keep it going. – John Sexton
147231. There is a considerable amount of manipulation in the printmaking from the straight photograph to the finished print. If I do my job correctly that shouldn’t be visible at all, it should be transparent. – John Sexton
147232. Today my passion is still black and white. Today if I have an array of cameras in front of me the one I would reach for that I would feel most comfortable with would be a 4 X 5 View camera. I was once working in a sort of soft light situation. – John Sexton
147233. Whatever it takes to get the image to reach that level is what that photographer needs to do. And for me, I just have such a love of the tactile and sensuous quality of a black and white silver gelatin print. – John Sexton
147234. When I’m about ready to press the cable release on the View camera, I’ve tried to anticipate some of the challenges I’m going to encounter in the darkroom. – John Sexton
147235. When the object that is produced, the photographic image has the ability to make tears come to your eyes; to inspire you to the point where you have to catch your breath, then nothing else matters. – John Sexton
147236. So when I became interested in photography and further being inspired by the work that I saw of Ansel and others, it was a natural extension to go back to these places that I knew as a kid and explore them with my camera. – John Sexton
147237. And then as I frequently do, some times I’ll peek out from underneath the focusing cloth and just look around the edges of the frame that I’m not seeing, see if there’s something that should be adjusted in terms of changing the camera position. – John Sexton
147238. When I teach and meet a class for the first time, you realize that there are people there that have exceptional abilities or have the potential to do exceptional things and you never know who those people are. My job is to provide the best information I can. – John Sexton
147239. I’ve never seen a surface that I think is more seductive in image making. – John Sexton
147240. And as part of my activity there, he had indicated he wanted me to work with him on that and conduct the various technical tests. And so a few months later I moved from Southern California up to the Monterey Peninsula where I still live today. – John Sexton
147241. And friends of mine that had photography class in high school would develop the film and make prints and I’d take them back to the track and give ’em away or try and sell them. Much to my parents’ dismay, I majored in photography in college. – John Sexton
147242. And the camera position, the organization, looking for repeating forms, shapes, trying to set up a visual rhythm seemed to come very natural. All of a sudden I was in a forest of aluminum and steel rather than a forest that we might think of in a traditional sense. – John Sexton
147243. For me the printing process is part of the magic of photography. It’s that magic that can be exciting, disappointing, rewarding and frustrating all in the same few moments in the darkroom. – John Sexton
147244. Having photographed the landscape for a number of years and specifically working with trees and in the forest I found, without consciously thinking about it, that it was a great learning experience for me in terms of organizing elements. – John Sexton
147245. He was a very generous soul and was exceptionally dedicated to the medium of photography. – John Sexton
147246. I support any procedure that allows photographers to express themselves, whether that involves color, black and white, platinum, palladium and digital technology. – John Sexton
147247. I’ve found even after nearly 30 years of doing this, there are all kinds of new surprises that rear their heads at various times and I truly believe that 51% of the images, success takes place in the darkroom. – John Sexton
147248. I took a workshop from him a few months after that. That experience changed my whole approach to photography. At that workshop in Yosemite in 1973 I decided I wanted to try and see if I could pursue this for myself, and I’m still trying. – John Sexton
147249. I think the greatest photographers are the amateur photographers who do it because they love it. Arnold Newman is a good example; he is a consummate professional, but he’s also an ‘amateur’ in the pure sense of the word. – John Sexton
147250. I make photographs and still make photographs of the natural environment. It’s a love because that was part of my life before I was involved in photography. – John Sexton
147251. I remembered seeing it and it was this metallic turbine and I thought it was beautiful. I had never been in a power plant before, but I felt, without being overly dramatic, compelled to make photographs of this for myself. – John Sexton
147252. I remember being shocked when I came out from under the focusing cloth after a minute or two being submerged within that, at the startling green color of those ferns. – John Sexton
147253. I really don’t have any secrets. I’ve never met a photographer whose work I respected that had a secret because the secret lies within each and every one of us. – John Sexton
147254. I’ve auditioned for roles that involved voice, but I don’t like it. I feel like, I can’t do this in front of you. It seems so separate – I don’t share it with a lot of people. And I’m not into public performances. – Amanda Seyfried
147255. Singing was my first love and I never even considered it after I started acting, but now I’m bringing it back into my life. I trained from the ages of 11 to 17. When I moved to New York and got into serious acting, I just kind of abandoned the whole singing thing. But when I grew up in Pennsylvania I went to voice lessons once a week. – Amanda Seyfried
147256. I have jeans with holes in them and I have nice jeans. I have casual and I have dressy jeans. I’ve got all kinds. – Amanda Seyfried
147257. You don’t have to listen to those mean girls. They’re just there to make you upset and make you feel bad about yourself. And you know, inside, they feel bad about themselves too. But they don’t wanna admit it to anybody. – Amanda Seyfried
147258. Marriage, at this point in my life? I’m not interested in it. Yet. Maybe later when I’m 35 or 40. – Amanda Seyfried
147259. Making people laugh is magic. I feel like if you have humility, then you can do anything in comedy. – Amanda Seyfried
147260. It’s really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don’t hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don’t do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working. – Amanda Seyfried
147261. Intimacy is a wonderful thing. It’s frustrating that growing up I thought it was wrong. It isn’t. Exploring your sexuality is important when you’re growing up. – Amanda Seyfried
147262. Singing is a way of releasing an emotion that you sometimes can’t portray when you’re acting. And music moves your soul, so music is the source of the most intense emotions you can feel. When you hear a song and you’re acting it’s incredible. But when you’re singing a song and you’re acting it’s even more incredible. – Amanda Seyfried
147263. I’m most comfortable in my birthday suit. – Amanda Seyfried
147264. I have written some songs, but I would really call what I’ve done poetry at the end of the day, because I’ll sit with my guitar for hours and hours on end for, like, a week and then I won’t touch it for a month. I also just have no confidence. And you know what? I don’t have time, because I’d rather be doing other things, like knitting. – Amanda Seyfried
147265. I didn’t like fairy tales when I was younger. I found a lot of fairy tales scary. They really didn’t sit well with me. – Amanda Seyfried
147266. I did theater when I was nine, I think. Nine and ten, and that was just the beginning of my whole involvement in acting, my whole interest. I don’t really remember it that well. But it was really fun. I mean, it was exciting just to be on stage in front of an audience. It gives you a different kind of rush. – Amanda Seyfried
147267. Hollywood is just like high school. The popular people only like the other popular people. And the thing is, some people aren’t nice – or they’re nice, but only to your face, not elsewhere. – Amanda Seyfried
147268. I went to art school when I was little. I took ballet lessons. I played a little kick ball. I was sort of into everything because I had too much energy and I didn’t know where to put it. When I was a preteen, I got into singing, and became really obsessed with it. – Amanda Seyfried
147269. I’m not really into clubbing, I like to go to parties after events, and those do end up at clubs or bars. But in my free time I go grocery shopping or to the gym, or I talk on the phone. – Amanda Seyfried
147270. Whenever I see his finger nails, I thank God I don’t have to look at his feet. – Athene Seyler
147271. Think wrongly if you please, but in all cases, think for yourself. – Charles Seymour
147272. We seek the truth and will endure the consequences. – Charles Seymour
147273. The merit of our Constitution was, not that it promotes democracy, but checks it. – Horatio Seymour
147274. You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life – so that if it were over tomorrow, you’d be content with yourself. – Jane Seymour
147275. Motherhood has relaxed me in many ways. You learn to deal with crisis. I’ve become a juggler, I suppose. It’s all a big circus, and nobody who knows me believes I can manage, but sometimes I do. – Jane Seymour
147276. Music has brought me some of the highest moments of my life. I don’t even hear the music. I don’t even hear the notes. I’m not aware that someone has turned on a tape machine – I’m in another world. – Jane Seymour
147277. You cannot do everything at once, so find people you trust to help you. And don’t be afraid to say no. – Jane Seymour
147278. We shouldn’t waste any more time in making sure that democracy is properly rooted in our political life and the supremacy of the law becomes an integral part of our state’s structure. – Ahmet Necdet Sezner
147279. Resorting to violence and the use of force at holy sites is unacceptable, whatever the reason might be. – Ahmet Necdet Sezner
147280. The Muslim world is deeply hurt by the campaign of violence initiated against our Palestinian brothers. – Ahmet Necdet Sezner
147281. Unless we abandon elements which resemble a police state, we can’t meet the demands of being a modern society. – Ahmet Necdet Sezner
147282. ‘Freedom of belief and worship is the most important guarantee of social peace. – Ahmet Necdet Sezner
147283. It wasn’t a checkpoint but a patrol which immediately opened fire after they trained their light on us. – Giuliana Sgrena
147284. I looked over and saw this man on the extreme right aisle sort of galloping to the podium. He was tall, he was thin, and the way he was galloping it looked as though he was going someplace much more important than the podium. – Betty Shabazz
147285. Malcolm was a firm believer in the value and importance of our heritage. He believed that we have valuable and distinct cultural traditions which need to be institutionalized so that they can be passed on to our heirs. – Betty Shabazz
147286. Two young doctors – one from Harvard and the other from Dartmouth – invited me to go to Mecca in my husband’s stead. And that is what helped put me back on track. – Betty Shabazz
147287. Thirty years ago dinner theatre used to be much more of a going concern than it is now. – Ted Shackelford
147288. It was unpredictable, good storytelling that brought you back each week. – Ted Shackelford
147289. Knots Landing is the best thing that ever happened to me. – Ted Shackelford
147290. My wife is Danish and we go to Denmark a couple of times a year. – Ted Shackelford
147291. On daytime they continue to revisit a lot of the same stuff while nighttime does move on and show development. – Ted Shackelford
147292. One of the things I was so glad that happened to me on Knots was that I learned to relax. – Ted Shackelford
147293. In January ’77 I went out to LA and have been here 26 years. – Ted Shackelford
147294. Theater to me is acting but it’s more real on film. – Ted Shackelford
147295. Television is so dictated by time constraints that you have to make quick decisions and go with them. – Ted Shackelford
147296. What happens if you’re the guy who’s been on the show ten years and is highly paid but they have nothing for you to do is that they bring in other people, and you become a supporting character to those people. – Ted Shackelford
147297. The decision as to why a show makes it has to do with politics and money. – Ted Shackelford
147298. I act for the reality, for the moment, and most of all I do it for the process. – Ted Shackelford
147299. If I could work with Joan Van Ark every day for the rest of my life I would. – Ted Shackelford
147300. And I had a lot to play, which is what you want as an actor. – Ted Shackelford
147301. But no, I’m still living in LA and haven’t dropped off the face of the earth. – Ted Shackelford
147302. The thing with being on a series that runs that long is that the writers run out of things to do. – Ted Shackelford
147303. Everything I have in life comes from Knots Landing. – Ted Shackelford
147304. I can’t really recall the first time I was noticed by a producer but the first time I was on television was doing Daytime for Another World, which I started in December ’75 and went until December ’76. – Ted Shackelford
147305. I have German Shepherds that I train and have brought back to Germany. I love going there. – Ted Shackelford
147306. I have no interest in writing, directing or producing. – Ted Shackelford
147307. I really wasn’t on the Dallas set much. I did three or four episodes so I didn’t see too much. – Ted Shackelford
147308. I went to the Westminster College for Men in Missouri, which is what it was called back then, and transferred to the University of Denver where I ultimately got my degree. – Ted Shackelford
147309. We had seen God in His splendors, heard the text that Nature renders. We had reached the naked soul of man. – Ernest Shackleton
147310. I called to the other men that the sky was clearing, and then a moment later I realized that what I had seen was not a rift in the clouds but the white crest of an enormous wave. – Ernest Shackleton
147311. Superhuman effort isn’t worth a damn unless it achieves results. – Ernest Shackleton
147312. Now my eyes are turned from the South to the North, and I want to lead one more Expedition. This will be the last… to the North Pole. – Ernest Shackleton
147313. The noise resembles the roar of heavy, distant surf. Standing on the stirring ice one can imagine it is disturbed by the breathing and tossing of a mighty giant below. – Ernest Shackleton
147314. I seemed to vow to myself that some day I would go to the region of ice and snow and go on and on till I came to one of the poles of the earth, the end of the axis upon which this great round ball turns. – Ernest Shackleton
147315. Difficulties are just things to overcome, after all. – Ernest Shackleton
147316. After months of want and hunger, we suddenly found ourselves able to have meals fit for the gods, and with appetites the gods might have envied. – Ernest Shackleton
147317. If I had not some strength of will I would make a first class drunkard. – Ernest Shackleton
147318. Indeed, I think most Americans now know that in 1935 when Social Security was created, there were some 42 Americans working for every American collecting retirement benefits. – John Shadegg
147319. American consumers benefit from free trade and investment. – John Shadegg
147320. We must send a very clear message that if you enter our country illegally and then you commit one of these offenses, you will be dealt with harshly and you will pay a heavy price for your conduct. – John Shadegg
147321. We can still find middle ground, truly secure our borders, deal with those already here and address our labor needs. But those who advocate giving current illegal aliens and future guest workers a special path to citizenship must compromise. – John Shadegg
147322. Under current law, there is no additional penalty for someone who enters the United States illegally and then commits either a crime of violence or a drug trafficking offense. They simply come under the same penalty as we have in current law. – John Shadegg
147323. These smugglers, many of them present in trafficking through my State of Arizona, create false Social Security cards, false green cards, visas and a variety of other fraudulent documents as an essential part of their smuggling activities. – John Shadegg
147324. The reality is that the workforce relative to the number of people retired has shrunk and today in America there are only 3.3 working Americans paying payroll taxes to support each individual currently retired and collecting Social Security taxes. – John Shadegg
147325. The good news is, Americans know firsthand the benefits of a free market – more choices, lower prices, higher quality – and there is no reason why we cannot help them see these same benefits in health care. – John Shadegg
147326. Putting a stop to internet gambling is a necessary reform that targets flagrant violations of state and federal laws. – John Shadegg
147327. Most previous immigrants came to the United States to become Americans, with no intention of returning home. They relinquished their ties with their homeland. English was their key to prosperity, and they worked hard to master it. – John Shadegg
147328. More than one-third of Mexicans in the United States own property in Mexico, nearly 80 percent send money home and 25 percent have a spouse in Mexico. Assimilation and becoming an American citizen are not the objective for many of them. – John Shadegg
147329. Health care comprises nearly 20 percent of our national economy, but outdated bureaucracy and red tape have stifled competition and raised costs. As a result, today more than 45 million are without any health coverage. – John Shadegg
147330. Global fuel and consumption, however, is projected to increase by 100 to 150 percent over the next 20 years, driven largely by the rapidly growing Chinese and Indian economies; and this growth and this increase in demand will force prices even higher. – John Shadegg
147331. Germany, I think, was first to substitute a Social Security program for its elderly based on this premise, that is, that we would tax workers to pay retirement benefits for those retired. – John Shadegg
147332. From cell phones to computers, quality is improving and costs are shrinking as companies fight to offer the public the best product at the best price. But this philosophy is sadly missing from our health-care insurance system. – John Shadegg
147333. For example, in my own State of Arizona, an Israeli scientist is working with an Arizona company on a demonstration project involving a very fast-growing algae which can be used to power a biomass energy plan. – John Shadegg
147334. But with a rate of return of 1.6 percent or less, or a negative rate of return, our children and our grandchildren, if we do not make changes, will in fact not have a secure retirement. Indeed, they will not have the funds when they go to retire to even minimally get by. – John Shadegg
147335. Business owners have made a strong case to me that they need guest workers. But none has suggested that these workers should be placed on a path to citizenship. – John Shadegg
147336. A recent Pew Hispanic survey found that more than 70 percent of illegal immigrants from Mexico are interested in a guest-worker program and then returning home. – John Shadegg
147337. If the United States is to protect itself from the economic and the political threats created by this excessive dependence, we must reduce our reliance on foreign energy sources and on foreign oil as quickly and as efficiently as possible. – John Shadegg
147338. No man is happy but by comparison. – Thomas Shadwell
147339. The haste of a fool is the slowest thing in the world. – Thomas Shadwell
147340. I am, out of the ladies’ company, like a fish out of the water. – Thomas Shadwell
147341. Every man loves what he is good at. – Thomas Shadwell
147342. And wit’s the noblest frailty of the mind. – Thomas Shadwell
147343. Hope is a very thin diet. – Thomas Shadwell
147344. Words may be false and full of art; Sighs are the natural language of the heart. – Thomas Shadwell
147345. In this war – as in others – I am less interested in honoring the dead than in preventing the dead. – Butler Shaffer
147346. The state has, in order to control us, introduced division into our thinking, so that we come to distrust others and look to the state for protection. – Butler Shaffer
147347. You can’t always let people do their own thing. – Peter Shaffer
147348. It’s an extraordinary thing about Mozart is that you never tire of him… he never bores me, and he doesn’t… not only bore me, that’s too strong a word. – Peter Shaffer
147349. Librarians as a race tend to be tedious. – Peter Shaffer
147350. My actual childhood, as opposed to my adolescence, was not spent in London. – Peter Shaffer
147351. Passion, you see, can be destroyed by a doctor. It cannot be created. – Peter Shaffer
147352. Rehearsing a play is making the word flesh. Publishing a play is reversing the process. – Peter Shaffer
147353. They look so expectant, and then they look so depressed… that was the other great lesson that The Royal Hunt of the Sun taught me, it was the profundity that masked drama can achieve, that of course, the audience were not seeing masks moving at all. – Peter Shaffer
147354. Tragedy, for me, is not a conflict between right and wrong, but between two different kinds of right. – Peter Shaffer
147355. We… our war began September the 3rd 1939, with the invasion of Poland by Germany, and thereafter the great state of danger in England at that time, with the bombings, necessitated the evacuation of children. – Peter Shaffer
147356. You never quite know what’s going to strike your imagination, or something that won’t going to leave you alone, not going to leave alone, and this was one for me. – Peter Shaffer
147357. It is very, very difficult for a playwright to write a scene in which a young man has his first deep experience of sex with a girl whom he found immensely attractive, is fully satisfied by this event and gets up and blinds a lot of horses. – Peter Shaffer
147358. I was an accomplice in my own frustration. – Peter Shaffer
147359. Watching Italian opera, all those male sopranos screeching, stupid fat couples rolling their eyes about. That’s not love, it’s just rubbish. – Peter Shaffer
147360. I really believe that studying organization, even in the form of studying detective story organization, is very, very valuable for a playwright, a budding playwright. – Peter Shaffer
147361. And in fact, I think one of the best guides to telling you who you are, and I think children use it all the time for this purpose, is fantasy. – Peter Shaffer
147362. Black Comedy is a farce that is played in the dark, as you know, with the lights full on. It’s the Chinese convention of reversing light and dark, and exactly where anybody is at any given moment is the play. – Peter Shaffer
147363. But the first published thing I did was a detective story, detective novel, and I did that on my own. – Peter Shaffer
147364. I made, over the years in Cambridge, several very good American friends, and America appeared to me, a land of promise in every sense of that word, a land of freedom from the inhibitions and restrictions that I felt in England. – Peter Shaffer
147365. I think I did have fantasies about being an actor. In fact, I know I did. – Peter Shaffer
147366. I think people nowadays do tend to blame their parents for everything. – Peter Shaffer
147367. I think plays, like books, are endemic. They grow out of the soil of the writer and the place he’s writing about. I think, you just can’t move them about, you know. – Peter Shaffer
147368. I think possibly the first film that has music as its leading character. – Peter Shaffer
147369. If London is a watercolor, New York is an oil painting. – Peter Shaffer
147370. I was born in Liverpool in England, and I lived there for the first nine years of my life. – Peter Shaffer

147634. I admire Madonna because she always did whatever she felt like doing. She went through some controversial periods when people rejected her, but she kept on reinventing herself. – Shakira
147635. I admire a person who, for the love of art, is able to take off their clothes in front of a camera. But I’m not capable, I’m too cowardly for that. – Shakira
147636. I want some day to be able to love with the same intensity and unselfishness that parents love their children with. – Shakira
147637. My songs are the reflection of how I think and how I feel in that moment. But I’m conscious of the fact that artists have a responsibility before the masses and they have to take care with their words. – Shakira
147638. It’s the game of life. Do I win or do I lose? One day they’re gonna shut the game down. I gotta have as much fun and go around the board as many times as I can before it’s my turn to leave. – Tupac Shakur

147651. We all gonna die, we bleed from similar veins. – Tupac Shakur

147654. The only thing that comes to a sleeping man is dreams. – Tupac Shakur
147655. I don’t see myself being special; I just see myself having more responsibilities than the next man. People look to me to do things for them, to have answers. – Tupac Shakur

147657. Let the Lord judge the criminals. – Tupac Shakur

147660. Don’t change on me. Don’t extort me unless you intend to do it forever. – Tupac Shakur

147664. I’m a reflection of the community. – Tupac Shakur

147666. I just spent 11 and a half months in a maximum-security jail, got shot five times, and was wrongly convicted of a crime I didn’t commit. – Tupac Shakur
147667. I never killed anybody, I never raped anybody, I never committed no crimes that weren’t honorable. – Tupac Shakur

147669. I’ll probably be punished for hard living. – Tupac Shakur
147670. I’m 23 years old. I might just be my mother’s child, but in all reality, I’m everybody’s child. Nobody raised me; I was raised in this society. – Tupac Shakur

147684. I think President Bush tried to step up on Social Security even though the polls showed that was unpopular. He has not been successful and backed off, but I admire people who take on big problems. – Donna Shalala
147685. I get to work at about 7:30 or 8 unless I have a breakfast meeting. – Donna Shalala
147686. I have to admit, in January and February I was in an absolute fuzz. I had no one on board. It wasn’t that I didn’t know what I was doing, but we didn’t have all the pieces put together. – Donna Shalala
147687. I have long ties to the women’s community. – Donna Shalala
147688. I have always hired people of different ages. Young people and older people. People in their 70s and in their 20s. People who are fully capable of talking back to me. – Donna Shalala
147689. I bring other constituencies – I also have ties to minority communities. And obviously, to the world of world-class research universities. So I can bring some constituencies that I’m used to working with. – Donna Shalala
147690. Every year, I am reminded of the kids who aren’t in the freshman class and aren’t graduating. I remember every single one of them. That is the worst of times for me, to see the future snuffed out. – Donna Shalala
147691. By putting people around me who will calm me down and slow me down and make sure I work through an issue. – Donna Shalala
147692. But I have a driver, so I can return calls while I’m in the car. – Donna Shalala
147693. But for me, it is when a student has died. I find the death of a young person the most difficult and painful of times. To explain it to other young people, to see a bright future snuffed out, is just awful. I am haunted by those deaths. – Donna Shalala
147694. Asking the government to help you for short periods of time is different than asking the government to take care of you for the rest of your life. – Donna Shalala
147695. I try to deal with my serious reading before work. – Donna Shalala
147696. We have to mainstream everybody. No matter what their circumstances when they were growing up. Part of that is knowing that after they’re finished with school, everybody in this country gets up and goes to work. – Donna Shalala

147700. We have not yet concluded that needle-exchange programs do not encourage drug use. – Donna Shalala
147701. Barack Obama is a truly flabbergasting President. And in a good way – not the way some of his predecessors were. He’s not flabberghastly. He’s not the student who wears a button that says, ‘Smartest kid in class,’ but clearly he is, at least when surrounded by the White House press corps. – Tom Shale
147702. A fellow with the inventiveness of Albert Einstein but with the attention span of Daffy Duck. – Tom Shales

147707. It was really an experience, being my first time directing a movie. The scenes that I was in, Brooke really directed me all the time. And the scenes that both of us were in, Brooke directed those. Come to think of it, Brooke directed most of the scenes. – Tony Shalhoub
147708. And Big Night, I think by the end the brothers find that balance, when they touch each other on the shoulder over breakfast and it’s understood that what should never have driven them apart almost drove them apart. I think that’s a true moment. – Tony Shalhoub
147709. All I wanted with that film was to represent the possibility that there might be normal people who are Muslim or Arab with the same fears, responsibilities, hopes. – Tony Shalhoub

147713. I come from a really big family, my father was a businessman and what he always instilled in us was to be your own boss. My father built up his business, and he was by no means a rich man, but he figured out how to work four-and-a-half days a week. – Tony Shalhoub
147714. I was one of those people who put too much emphasis on work and career and material possessions, and it took its toll on all my relationships, on my physical health, my emotional and mental health. – Tony Shalhoub
147715. Some films could only have been cast in one way: Screen tests were given and the losers got the parts. – Gene Shalit

147718. We have the responsibility to protect our people and that’s why we’re building this fence. We’ve suffered from 19,000 terrorist attacks during the last three years. – Silvan Shalom
147719. We have been in the territories since 1967. In 2002, we had sometimes three or four suicide attacks every day. We came to the conclusion that it can’t continue like that. – Silvan Shalom
147720. We believe that we should come to an agreement with the Palestinians. But we need two to tango. – Silvan Shalom
147721. We are not going to damage our safety and our security. We’re not going to give those extremists the privilege to come so freely to Israel in order to carry out more attacks against us and kill us one day after another. – Silvan Shalom
147722. The Palestinians will never, never implement their commitment to dismantle their infrastructure of terrorist organizations. – Silvan Shalom
147723. The security fence is reversible. Human lives are irreversible. – Silvan Shalom
147724. It’s not a democracy here, it’s the Middle East. – Silvan Shalom
147725. Suicide bombers caused us more than 50 percent of our casualties. The fence works. There is a decline in the number of those terrorist attacks against Israelis. – Silvan Shalom
147726. No one can compare us to the apartheid regime. It’s not like in South Africa between the blacks and the whites who belong to the same nation, or in Berlin where you find parents living on the eastern side and their children in the western side. – Silvan Shalom
147727. Most of the international community, most of the countries around the world, don’t want any side, any party to take unilateral steps. They would like that all of us to stick to the road map. – Silvan Shalom
147728. In 1988, King Hussein of Jordan said that it doesn’t take any connection any more to those territories, and he would like to split from those territories. So according to the international law, it doesn’t belong to anyone. – Silvan Shalom
147729. I’d like to ask you: what you would prefer us to do? I’d like to ask my colleagues, would any other country act differently? I think the answer is very clear. No one would act differently. – Silvan Shalom
147730. Cease-fire is important, but it can last only for a very, very, very short time. – Silvan Shalom
147731. There’s no preventative measure between the Palestinians, between those terrorists to the state of Israel. – Silvan Shalom
147732. The Palestinians are not willing to do anything, they’re not willing to make the strategic decision to dismantle the infrastructure of terrorist organizations. – Silvan Shalom
147733. We must never bend too much. – Yitzhak Shamir
147734. All of the land of Israel is ours. – Yitzhak Shamir
147735. I believe that the will of the people is resolved by a strong leadership. Even in a democratic society, events depend on a strong leadership with a strong power of persuasion, and not on the opinion of the masses. – Yitzhak Shamir
147736. In this part of the world, Jews and Arabs will live together forever. – Yitzhak Shamir
147737. Israel’s capital will never again be a divided city, a city with a wall at its center, a city in which two flags fly. This city, will, in its entirety, absorb immigrants, welcome pilgrims and be the eternal capital of Israel forever. – Yitzhak Shamir
147738. We have said that Israel has had a very bad history with the United Nations, and whoever cares for himself in Israel distances himself from that Organization. – Yitzhak Shamir
147739. A new baby is like the beginning of all things – wonder, hope, a dream of possibilities. – Eda J. Le Shan
147740. When we cannot bear to be alone, it means we do not properly value the only companion we will have from birth to death: ourselves. – Eda J. Le Shan
147741. My first appearance as a guest on The Tonight Show was in ’81. – Garry shandling
147742. I practice safe sex – I use an airbag. – Garry Shandling
147743. You know it’s funny that none of the regular late-night shows now use guest hosts the way Johnny did. No one talks about it much, but it’s curious that they don’t do it. They would each have to be asked the reason why they don’t. – Garry Shandling
147744. Without comedy as a defense mechanism I wouldn’t be able to survive. – Garry Shandling
147745. Which is, I’m an optimist that two people can be together to work out their conflicts. And that commitment, I think, might be what love is, because they both grow from their relationship. – Garry Shandling
147746. My friends tell me I have an intimacy problem. But they don’t really know me. – Garry Shandling
147747. It’s not the hair on your head that matters. It’s the kind of hair you have inside. – Garry Shandling
147748. I’ve never had anyone put on a puppet show to convince me of anything. And I’ve done a lot of stuff. I don’t know that I would put the puppets on when I was pitching a show. This was the head of the studio putting a puppet show on. And I’ll tell you, he wasn’t bad. – Garry Shandling
147749. I’m too shy to express my sexual needs except over the phone to people I don’t know. – Garry Shandling
147750. I’m not a party guy. I don’t carouse very much. – Garry Shandling
147751. I’m dating a woman now who, evidently, is unaware of it. – Garry Shandling
147752. I think sometimes I should do more carousing, because I don’t do much and maybe it would be fun occasionally. It’s hard for me to have fun and I’m a serious thinker and a searcher and funny from the front. – Garry shandling
147753. I think it’s one of the main negative emotional ingredients that fuels show business, because there’s so much at stake and the fear of failure looms large. – Garry Shandling
147754. I think I look great in green, and I’m going to start wearing more green. – Garry Shandling
147755. Carol Burnett was particularly funny. She swore for the first time on television on Larry Sanders. – Garry Shandling
147756. But I really like hosting, I think it’s a strength of mine. It allows me to improvise, and I love the spontaneity of that, and I think I’m funny behind the desk when interviewing someone. – Garry Shandling
147757. I play basketball on Sundays and I’m a very spiritual guy; I read a lot of Eastern philosophy and I meditate. – Garry Shandling
147758. First of all, I’m not the kind of guy that likes to rehash the show and so forth and so on. – Garry Shandling
147759. The only way I would go back to hosting would be if it were something entirely new. It would prevent me from wanting to host a standard-fare kind of talk show. – Garry Shandling
147760. Here’s the thing – I’m single, I haven’t been married, I don’t have kids yet. If I do have kids I would be interested to see them in my life, so here’s a movie for kids and I’m in there and I’m supposed to be kind of funny for kids. – Garry Shandling
147761. I actually think I’m more of a turtle than Verne is. Where Verne is up on two legs and moving at full speed and doesn’t pull his head into the shell very often, I in reality was five or ten minutes later to every recording session. – Garry Shandling
147762. I don’t know how to ground myself without the other actor present. – Garry Shandling
147763. I don’t know why men are so fascinated with television and I think it has something to do with – if I may judge from my own father, who used to sit and stare at the TV while my mother was speaking to him – I think that’s a man’s way of tuning out. – Garry Shandling
147764. I guess he wanted to see a little more sexual activity because in real life, in bed I think less is more and let the woman come to me. Frankly, I don’t even need a woman there. – Garry Shandling
147765. I like going into nature and that’s where I’m happiest. – Garry Shandling
147766. I once made love for an hour and fifteen minutes, but it was the night the clocks are set ahead. – Garry Shandling
147767. Because I am afraid of commitment. This movie certainly has some bearing and is some reflection of my real feeling about relationships, because I do have commitment issues. My friends tell me I have intimacy problems, but they don’t know me, so who cares what they think? – Garry Shandling
147768. I am pretty tenacious as a perfectionist in terms of getting something right. – Garry Shandling
147769. Everybody has a right to like or dislike anything or anyone. From a flower to a flavor to a book or a composition but it is very sad that in our country we actually fight over such things in an unseemly manner. – Ravi Shankar
147770. Pop changes week to week, month to month. But great music is like literature. – Ravi Shankar
147771. In our culture we have such respect for musical instruments, they are like part of God. – Ravi Shankar
147772. My secret ambition was always to provide music for animation films: something with an Indian theme, either a fairy tale or mythological tale or on the Krishna theme. I still have a very deep desire, but these sorts of chances don’t always come. – Ravi Shankar
147773. When school children start paying union dues, that ‘s when I’ll start representing the interests of school children. – Albert Shanker
147774. There is no more reason to pay for private education than there is to pay for a private swimming pool for those who do not use public facilities. – Albert Shanker
147775. If Everton were playing down the bottom of my garden, I’d draw the curtains. – Bill Shankly
147776. What a great day for football, all we need is some green grass and a ball. – Bill Shankly
147777. We murdered them 0-0. – Bill Shankly
147778. The trouble with referees is that they know the rules, but they do not know the game. – Bill Shankly
147779. Some people think football is a matter of life and death. I assure you, it’s much more serious than that. – Bill Shankly
147780. If you are first you are first. If you are second you are nothing. – Bill Shankly
147781. Football is a simple game based on the giving and taking of passes, of controlling the ball and of making yourself available to receive a pass. It is terribly simple. – Bill Shankly
147782. Football (soccer) is a matter of life and death, except more important. – Bill Shankly
147783. Denis Law could dance on eggshells. – Bill Shankly
147784. A lot of football success is in the mind. You must believe you are the best and then make sure that you are. – Bill Shankly
147785. I’m a people’s man – only the people matter. – Bill Shankly
147786. Aim for the sky and you’ll reach the ceiling. Aim for the ceiling and you’ll stay on the floor. – Bill Shankly
147787. You know, if it doesn’t work, we can always cut it. – Michael Shanks
147788. It’s absolutely true that it’s almost impossible to play a character without having any affection for him. – Michael Shanks
147789. It’s fun to play the character and then watch him later. – Michael Shanks
147790. So already, you go from not having a job and thinking you’re going to get fired after the pilot, to knowing that you’ve got a guaranteed job for 4 years. – Michael Shanks
147791. The environment on set is very encouraging. – Michael Shanks
147792. There was concern whether SCI FI would want the show back with all the recent changes. But now, the changes have made it feel fresh, like starting over. – Michael Shanks
147793. We never thought the show would last this long. – Michael Shanks
147794. With network shows, writers can be so protective of every syllable. – Michael Shanks
147795. It was nice, though, to have the long term benefit to be able to pare away those things and eventually make the character my own and put my own unique stamp. – Michael Shanks
147796. There’s a way about it: tearing people down, but not tearing them apart. – Michael Shanks
147797. I’ve always found ways to bend the rules. – Michael Shanks
147798. I was doing Hamlet in the off-season, and I had a specific idea in my mind about what I wanted that character to look like, and because it’s going to lead into the next year, I knew that it was going to have to be established somewhere in the show. – Michael Shanks
147799. I think the writing on the wall is definitely there this year that this is probably our last year. – Michael Shanks
147800. I think that you can take things personally or get hurt feelings as a result of something not working out just because your psyche said it should or you deserve it, or whatever it is. – Michael Shanks
147801. I find directing more satisfying. – Michael Shanks
147802. I couldn’t be playing him for this long if I didn’t like him. – Michael Shanks
147803. For some reason, it popped into my head the notion that a lot of the Next Generation cast in the long run of that show managed to step behind the camera. – Michael Shanks
147804. By the end of last year we solved a lot of threads, and it’s really good for this new way we’re taking the show to really have these new people and these new energies, frankly. – Michael Shanks
147805. But I don’t bet the farm on any of those possibilities, either. I’m also preparing, intelligently, to walk away from this, and walk away from it happy to have had the experience. – Michael Shanks
147806. In the meantime, I just have to create those realistic goals about the fact that I don’t have a ton of options as an actor who’s been on a science fiction show for 8 years. – Michael Shanks
147807. I visualize a time when we will be to robots what dogs are to humans, and I’m rooting for the machines. – Claude Shannon
147808. I just wondered how things were put together. – Claude Shannon
147809. Information is the resolution of uncertainty. – Claude Shannon
147810. Information: the negative reciprocal value of probability. – Claude Shannon
147811. I usually write when I’m in a great place. When I’m depressed, I don’t usually write. So I take all of when I’m depressed and throw it into when I’m feeling good. Weird, I guess. – Del Shannon
147812. I think things get a lot better after high school. I think the ones that struggle during that time tend to have better experiences after. – Molly Shannon
147813. I’m no way one of those comedians who want to do drama. I really do love comedies. I hope to go back to it. – Molly Shannon
147814. She’s true to herself and she’s determined. She has things going against her, but she forges ahead despite all of that. I think that’s encouraging. She’s got some problems, but she has hope and tries to plow through things. I think that’s a good role model. – Molly Shannon
147815. You can’t undo a deportation. – Jonathan Shapiro
147816. What’s much harder is taking on people in your own community. – Jonathan Shapiro
147817. It’s to be a person who’s able to shoot little arrows into sacred cows and knock politicians off their pedestals, to look out for hypocrisy, advocate for all sorts of things from social justice to peace. – Jonathan Shapiro
147818. I was very lucky all three newspapers approached me and asked me to draw their cartoons for them. – Jonathan Shapiro
147819. The cartoons which I enjoy have caused some kind of out rage, but they have got people talking about these issues out in the open and in essence that’s what its all about. – Jonathan Shapiro
147820. Sometimes I have to compromise my views, but I never compromise on issues like the death penalty and the arm trade laws, despite what the readers or letters may say. – Jonathan Shapiro

147822. There are certain people within the new government who have a slightly disturbing tendency toward authoritarianism, but there are so many checks and balances that in that way their noises are just noises. – Jonathan Shapiro
147823. Mandela once phoned me out of the blue while he was still president, and at first he played with me a bit. – Jonathan Shapiro
147824. There was a teacher who recognized that I was interested in cartooning and he was great. – Jonathan Shapiro
147825. I would think a sense of the absurd is more important for a political cartoonist, because that could define things like a sense of hypocrisy or a sense of the things one has to be skeptical about. – Jonathan Shapiro
147826. I think the eyes are very revealing and can expose a lot about a persons mood or character. – Jonathan Shapiro
147827. I see the cartoonist as contributing to the content, being critical, because we do poke holes in some of the dialogue and find new ways of seeing things. – Jonathan Shapiro
147828. I normally keep a series of draft in a catalogue type of book in which I scribble, sketch and draw ideas. – Jonathan Shapiro
147829. I eventually saw the satirical nature of caricaturing individuals. – Jonathan Shapiro
147830. I am anti-Bush. A lot of what he stands for is the antithesis of what I stand for. – Jonathan Shapiro
147831. Gee, I am a complete Luddite when it comes to computers, I can barely log on! – Jonathan Shapiro
147832. Even people that I agree with can do something that would be a target for a bit of humor. – Jonathan Shapiro
147833. Certainly in cartooning I’m given huge free rein at the moment. – Jonathan Shapiro
147834. On one occasion in 1987 the security police came looking for me because of a drawing that I’d published. – Jonathan Shapiro
147835. I try not to change my political point of view from paper to paper. – Jonathan Shapiro
147836. We do, and there is a law in the United States – the Torture Convention – that prohibits the United States from deporting an individual to a country where there is a reasonable expectation that he will be subjected to torture – physical, mental or otherwise. – Jonathan Shapiro
147837. To make the child in your own image is a capital crime, for your image is not worth repeating. The child knows this and you know it. Consequently you hate each other. – Karl Shapiro
147838. Already old, the question Who shall die? Becomes unspoken Who is innocent? – Karl Shapiro
147839. But with exquisite breathing you smile, with satisfaction of love, And I touch you again as you tick in the silence and settle in sleep. – Karl Shapiro
147840. The good poet sticks to his real loves, those within the realm of possibility. He never tries to hold hands with God or the human race. – Karl Shapiro
147841. The doctor punched my vein, the captain called me Cain, upon my belly sat the sow of fear. – Karl Shapiro
147842. Poetry is innocent, not wise. It does not learn from experience, because each poetic experience is unique. – Karl Shapiro
147843. My soul is now her day, my day her night, So I lie down, and so I rise. – Karl Shapiro
147844. In the tight belly of the dead, Burrow with hungry head, And inlay maggots like a jewel. – Karl Shapiro
147845. Laughter and grief join hands. Always the heart Clumps in the breast with heavy stride; The face grows lined and wrinkled like a chart, The eyes bloodshot with tears and tide. Let the wind blow, for many a man shall die. – Karl Shapiro
147846. Lastly, his tomb shall list and founder in the troughs of grass. And none shall speak his name. – Karl Shapiro
147847. The body, what is it, Father, but a sign To love the force that grows us, to give back What in Thy palm is senselessness and mud? – Karl Shapiro
147848. When a girl’s under 21, she’s protected by law. When she’s over 65, she’s protected by nature. Anywhere in between she’s fair game. – Stanley Shapiro
147849. Theories crumble, but good observations never fade. – Harlow Shapley
147850. I was inspired to write this book by those who are sceptical of the power of freedom to change the world. – Natan Sharansky
147851. Of course, there can be serious injustices within free societies. – Natan Sharansky
147852. Non-democratic regimes always need to mobilize their people against external enemies in order to maintain internal stability. – Natan Sharansky
147853. My optimism is not based primarily on the successful march of democracy in recent times but rather is based on the experience of having lived in a fear society and studied the mechanics of tyranny that sustain such a society. – Natan Sharansky
147854. Just as the 99% of Soviet citizens who supported the Soviet regime in 1985 was no indication of what the people inside the USSR really thought, the army of true believers that we think we see in the Arab world is an illusion. – Natan Sharansky
147855. Japan is not a Western democracy. The Japanese have kept their traditions, culture and heritage, but they have joined the community of free nations. – Natan Sharansky
147856. It is not surprising, then, that in the decade since Oslo began, Arafat used all the resources placed at his disposal to fan the flames of hatred against Israel. – Natan Sharansky
147857. Free societies are societies in which the right of dissent is protected. – Natan Sharansky
147858. In contrast, fear societies are societies in which dissent is banned. – Natan Sharansky
147859. Arafat rejected the deal because, as a dictator who had directed all his energies toward strengthening the Palestinians hatred toward Israel, Arafat could not afford to make peace. – Natan Sharansky
147860. I have no doubt that given a real choice, the vast majority of Muslims and Arabs, like everyone else will choose a free society over a fear society. – Natan Sharansky
147861. I am optimistic that peace can be achieved in the region because I believe that every society on earth can be free and that if freedom comes to the Middle East, there can be peace. – Natan Sharansky
147862. Democratic leaders, whose power is ultimately dependent on popular support, are held accountable for failing to improve the lives of their citizens. Therefore, they have a powerful incentive to keep their societies peaceful and prosperous. – Natan Sharansky
147863. Can someone within that society walk into the town square and say what they want without fear of being punished for his or her views? If so, then that society is a free society. If not, it is a fear society. – Natan Sharansky
147864. By helping readers understand these mechanics, I hope they will appreciate why freedom is for everyone, why it is essential for our security and why the free world plays a critically important role in advancing democracy around the globe. – Natan Sharansky
147865. By focusing once and for all on helping the Palestinians build a free society, I have no doubt that an historic compromise between Israelis and Palestinians can be reached and that peace can prevail. – Natan Sharansky
147866. Believe me, the drug of freedom is universally potent. – Natan Sharansky
147867. It is important to remember that some of the most serious thinkers once thought that democracy was not compatible with the cultures of Germany, Italy, Japan, Latin America and Russia. – Natan Sharansky
147868. The message of the free world to any potential Palestinian leadership should be a simple one: Embrace democratic reform and we will embrace you. – Natan Sharansky
147869. The three main sources of scepticism are first, that not every people desires freedom; second, that democracy in certain parts of the world would be dangerous; and third, that there is little the world’s democracies can do to advance freedom outside their countries. – Natan Sharansky
147870. The two most important things that can be done to promote democracy in the world is first, to bring moral clarity back to world affairs and second, to link international policies to the advance of democracy around the globe. – Natan Sharansky
147871. There were no dissidents then in the USSR because they were all killed. – Natan Sharansky
147872. This scepticism is the same scepticism I heard a generation ago in the USSR when few thought that a democratic transformation behind the iron curtain was possible. – Natan Sharansky
147873. To understand why dictators have a problem with making peace – or at least a genuine peace – the link between the nature of a regime and its external behavior must be understood. – Natan Sharansky
147874. Unfortunately, little attention was paid to how Arafat ruled. In fact, some saw the harsh and repressive nature of Arafat’s regime as actually bolstering the prospects for peace. – Natan Sharansky
147875. Will dissent be permitted? The answer to that question will determine whether the society is a free society or a fear society. – Natan Sharansky
147876. The only peace that can be made with a dictator is once that must be based on deterrence. For today, the dictator may be your friend, but tomorrow he will need you as an enemy. – Natan Sharansky
147877. The central premise behind Oslo was that if Arafat were given enough legitimacy, territory, weapons and money, he would use his power to fight terror and make peace with Israel. – Natan Sharansky
147878. People may believe that there can be a society where dissent is not permitted, but which is nonetheless not a fear society because everyone agrees with one another and therefore no one wants to dissent. – Natan Sharansky
147879. Only weeks after Oslo began, when nearly all the world and most of Israel was drunk with the idea of peace, I argued that a Palestinian society not constrained by democratic norms would be a fear society that would pose a grave threat to Israel. – Natan Sharansky
147880. On the other hand, if the free world is concerned with how a new Palestinian leader governs, then the peace process will have a real chance to succeed. – Natan Sharansky
147881. When we are unwilling to draw clear moral lines between free societies and fear societies, when we are unwilling to call the former good and the latter evil, we will not be able to advance the cause of peace because peace cannot be disconnected from freedom. – Natan Sharansky
147882. Sometimes I feel my arm is like a swan’s neck – so weak. – Maria Sharapova
147883. A great tennis career is something that a 15-year-old normally doesn’t have. I hope my example helps other teens believe they can accomplish things they never thought possible. – Maria Sharapova
147884. I don’t follow other players or the tournaments they play. I have my own schedule and do my own thing. I never really think, ‘Oh, I want to be or play like so-and-so.’ I just like being myself. – Maria Sharapova
147885. I learned there’s a big difference between juniors and the pros. – Maria Sharapova
147886. I’m just like every other girl who likes to shop, likes to look good, likes to spend time with friends. – Maria Sharapova
147887. I’ve been playing against older and stronger competition my whole life. It has made me a better tennis player and able to play against this kind of level despite their strength and experience. – Maria Sharapova
147888. Well, fans always root for the underdog. – Maria Sharapova
147889. I’m not the next anyone, I’m the first Maria Sharapova. – Maria Sharapova
147890. What is our vision on this earth – war to the end of all generations and life by the sword? – Moshe Sharett
147891. When the Jewish state is established – it is very possible that the result will be transfer of Arabs. – Moshe Sharett
147892. Israel would not do that, both because we cannot afford to be accused by the world of aggression and because we cannot, for security and social reasons, absorb in our midst a substantial Arab population. – Moshe Sharett
147893. We have forgotten that we have not come to an empty land to inherit it, but we have come to conquer a country from people inhabiting it, that governs it by the virtue of its language and savage culture. – Moshe Sharett
147894. We don’t know what may yet happen to us, what military and political defeats we may yet have to face. – Moshe Sharett
147895. We are very anxious to bring the Jews of Morocco over and we are doing all we can to achieve this. But we cannot count on the Jews of Morocco alone to build the country, because they have not been educated for this. – Moshe Sharett
147896. The state of Israel must, from time to time, prove clearly that it is strong, and able and willing to use force, in a devastating and highly effective way. If it does not prove this, it will be swallowed up, and perhaps wiped off the face of the earth. – Moshe Sharett
147897. The opportunities which the present position open up for a lasting and radical solution of the most vexing problem of the Jewish state are so far-reaching as to take one’s breath away. – Moshe Sharett
147898. So we need people who will remain steadfast in any hardship and who have a high degree of resistance. – Moshe Sharett
147899. I have learned that the state of Israel cannot be ruled in our generation without deceit and adventurism. These are historical facts that cannot be altered. – Moshe Sharett
147900. Once the return tide starts, it will be impossible to stem it, and it will prove our undoing. – Moshe Sharett
147901. I saw clearly how those who saved the state so heroically and courageously in the War of Independence would be capable of bringing a catastrophe upon it if they are given the chance in normal times. – Moshe Sharett
147902. I imagine that the intention is to get rid of them. The interests of security demand that we get rid of them. – Moshe Sharett
147903. I explained that we would like to adjust our position on the Syrian question to theirs, as, in our view, they are the decisive factor in our relations with our neighbors, and Syria is unimportant. – Moshe Sharett
147904. Arabs respect only the language of force. – Moshe Sharett
147905. Our role in Israel is a pioneering one, and we need people with certain strength of fiber. – Moshe Sharett
147906. An there is always the question: is it really proven that retaliatory actions solve the security problem?. – Moshe Sharett
147907. I am against preventive war because it means measures by the UN against us. – Moshe Sharett
147908. As for now, we must not forget who would have to exchange the land? those villages which live more than others on irrigation, on orange and fruit plantations, in houses built near water wells and pumping stations, on livestock and property and easy access to markets. – Moshe Sharett
147909. As for the future, we are equally determined to explore all possibilities of getting rid, once and for all, of the huge Arab minority which originally threatened us. – Moshe Sharett
147910. As for the long-term future: I am prepared to see in this a vision, not a mystical way but in a realistic way, of a population exchange on a much more important scale and including larger territories. – Moshe Sharett
147911. Curious people who have become accustomed to think that one cannot sustain the moral of the army without giving it the freedom to shed blood from time to time. – Moshe Sharett
147912. Even of if a certain backlash is unavoidable, we must make the most of the momentous chance with which history has presented us so swiftly and so unexpectedly. – Moshe Sharett
147913. Fear is the main factor in Arab politics… There is no Arab who is not harmed by Jews’ entry into Palestine. – Moshe Sharett
147914. I am against intervention by a foreign power against us. – Moshe Sharett
147915. By the reduction of the Arabs on the one hand and Jewish immigration in the transition period on the other, we will ensure an absolute Hebrew majority in a parliamentary regime. – Moshe Sharett
147916. A reprisal of this magnitude… has never been carried out before. I paced back and forth in my room perplexed and completely depressed, feeling helpless. – Moshe Sharett
147917. I’m very wary about giving advice. I think it’s very dangerous to give advice to people, except if you know them very well. – Omar Sharif
147918. This is one of the factors that also made me very much want to make this film, apart from the fact that I loved it. If the boy hadn’t been Jewish and the man hadn’t been Muslim, it wouldn’t have made any difference to the film. I don’t think it’s relevant, really. – Omar Sharif
147919. This character in the film, these things that he says which sound like advice and wise things, they are very common for Orientals. It’s all the tradition. – Omar Sharif
147920. They didn’t accept me theory – not a theory, but just a thought I had about this character. I noticed that this man only exists when the boy comes into the grocery. – Omar Sharif
147921. I don’t know what sex appeal is. I don’t think you can have sex appeal knowingly. The people who seduce me personally are the people who seem not to know they’re seductive, and not to know they have sex appeal. – Omar Sharif
147922. There are lots of wonderful old Italian actors. You don’t need to take an Egyptian to play an Italian actor. – Omar Sharif
147923. Working gets in the way of living. – Omar Sharif
147924. The reason it has relevance is because I, as a popular Arab personality – the Arab people like me and respect me – thought it was time for me to make an ever so tiny statement about what I thought about this whole thing. – Omar Sharif
147925. My philosophy is that when I go out of my room, I’m prepared to love everybody I meet, unless they’re bad. – Omar Sharif
147926. Women know when they’ve got the menopause but men don’t quite know. They know it afterwards. – Omar Sharif
147927. I want to live every moment totally and intensely. Even when I’m giving an interview or talking to people, that’s all that I’m thinking about. – Omar Sharif
147928. I see only defects because I’m not following the scene as it were. I’m not following the other person. It’s like the best thing to clarify this is the theater. – Omar Sharif
147929. I love to be with my son and my grandchildren, like normal people. I have no particular idea of what I represent to other people. It’s very mysterious to me. I don’t understand it. – Omar Sharif
147930. I had too many big passions in life and it gets in the way of work. You can’t concentrate properly on the one thing. – Omar Sharif
147931. I don’t know what women are attracted to. I can’t tell, but certainly I have no notion of having sex appeal or being seductive in any way. – Omar Sharif
147932. I didn’t want to be a slave to any passion anymore. I gave up card playing altogether, even bridge and gambling – more or less. It took me a few years to get out of it. – Omar Sharif
147933. I can’t say I gave up totally my passion for women but almost. – Omar Sharif
147934. He read his mind. He’s a strange sort of man, isn’t he? It’s not just the advice and the wisdom that he has. – Omar Sharif
147935. I don’t think any actor feels comfortable watching themselves in movies. You must be very narcissistic. The problem with your own opinion of yourself is that contrary to the normal spectators, when you watch a film you are in, you only watch yourself. – Omar Sharif
147936. Like all Israelis, I yearn for peace. I see the utmost importance in taking all possible steps that will lead to a solution of the conflict with the Palestinians. – Ariel Sharon
147937. Netanyahu is pressured easily, gets into a panic, and loses his senses… to run a country like Israel a leader needs to have reason and judgment and nerves of steel, two traits he does not have. – Ariel Sharon
147938. The ongoing conflict between us has caused heavy suffering to both peoples. The future can and must be different. Both our peoples are destined to live together side by side, on this small piece of land. This reality we cannot change. – Ariel Sharon
147939. We extend our hand towards peace. Our people are committed to peace. We know that peace entails painful compromise for both sides. – Ariel Sharon
147940. Iran, Libya and Syria are irresponsible states, which must be disarmed of weapons of mass destruction, and a successful American move in Iraq as a model will make that easier to achieve. – Ariel Sharon
147941. A lie should be tried in a place where it will attract the attention of the world. – Ariel Sharon
147942. Israel may have the right to put others on trial, but certainly no one has the right to put the Jewish people and the State of Israel on trial. – Ariel Sharon
147943. There is no bullet-proof vest in my size. – Ariel Sharon
147944. The stuff we did under the name the Rentals got so chaotic. – Matt Sharp
147945. I really do believe in the influence of your surroundings. – Matt Sharp
147946. I’m kind of a one-note at a time, one finger keyboard player. – Matt Sharp
147947. If a little knowledge was a dangerous thing, a lot was lethal. – Tom Sharpe
147948. We must not only strike the iron while it is hot, we must strike it until it is hot. – Tom Sharpe

147950. The right wing always mobilizes around constitutional amendments: the right to bear arms, school prayer. – Al Sharpton
147951. My ministry’s always been one of social activism. I think a responsible minister must be at some levels involved in the social order. – Al Sharpton
147952. James Brown became my father. He would talk to me the way a father talked to a son. He became the father I never had. – Al Sharpton
147953. It seems some have chosen to ignore or have simply forgotten the big-picture vision promoted by Dr. King and his kin. – Al Sharpton
147954. We have defeated Jim Crow, but now we have to deal with his son, James Crow Jr., esquire. – Al Sharpton
147955. It is true that Mr. Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation, after which there was a commitment to give 40 acres and a mule. That’s where the argument, to this day, of reparations starts. We never got the 40 acres. We went all the way to Herbert Hoover, and we never got the 40 acres. We didn’t get the mule. So we decided we’d ride this donkey as far as it would take us. – Al Sharpton
147956. If you play the theatrics too much, you get in the way of your own cause. – Al Sharpton
147957. Who defines terrorists? Today’s terrorist is tomorrow’s friend. – Al Sharpton

147960. The United States government has the obligation to educate all young people in this country. – Al Sharpton
147961. The promise of America is one immigration policy for all who seek to enter our shores, whether they come from Mexico, Haiti or Canada, there must be one set of rules for everybody. We cannot welcome those to come and then try and act as though any culture will not be respected or treated inferior. We cannot look at the Latino community and preach “one language.” No one gave them an English test before they sent them to Iraq to fight for America. – Al Sharpton
147962. The dream was not to put one black family in the White house, the dream was to make everything equal in everybody’s house. – Al Sharpton

147970. I’ve seen too much in life to give up. – Al Sharpton
147971. The United States has got to adopt a policy of befriending and creating allies around the world. – Al Sharpton

147976. I’m a patriot in the truest sense of the word. – Al Sharpton
147977. I won vice president of my student body in high school. That doesn’t mean anything. – Al Sharpton
147978. I was there during the first elections in South Africa. I watched them take down the apartheid flag and raise the new flag. – Al Sharpton
147979. I was raised by a single mother who made a way for me. She used to scrub floors as a domestic worker, put a cleaning rag in her pocketbook and ride the subways in Brooklyn so I would have food on the table. But she taught me as I walked her to the subway that life is about not where you start, but where you’re going. That’s family values. – Al Sharpton

147983. Dr. King’s general principles are universal. But the things he confronted took place in another era. – Al Sharpton
147984. Dr. King used Gandhi’s commitment to non-violence and to passive resistance. – Al Sharpton
147985. Bill Clinton strikes me as the kind of guy who goes wherever the polls lead him, rather than leading the polls. – Al Sharpton
147986. I do believe the Democratic party has moved far to the right. I do believe that the party has a bunch of elephants running around in donkey clothes. – Al Sharpton
147987. I was the first candidate to come out against this war, spoke at every anti-war march. – Al Sharpton
147988. If Pakistan has any ideas of annexing any part of our territories by force, she should think afresh. I want to state categorically that force will be met with force and aggression against us will never be allowed to succeed. – Lal Bahadur Shastri

147990. Here’s something pompous – you take your day and artistically create it, so every moment has an artistic flavor. – William Shatner
147991. Captain Kirk has been a source of pleasure and income for a long time. – William Shatner
147992. But if you want to know the truth, the weirdest thing that has happened has been my discovery that people who attend the conventions are filled with love. – William Shatner
147993. Babies have big heads and big eyes, and tiny little bodies with tiny little arms and legs. So did the aliens at Roswell! I rest my case. – William Shatner

147995. All in all, Kirk’s character is something I am very proud of. – William Shatner
