169227. Lets not push it under the rug, or push it to the side because, no matter what, it’s going to keep coming up. You know, if you never deal with that dirt up under the carpet, it’s going to get larger and larger, and it’s going to keep coming up. – Herschel Walker

169230. When I feel good about myself, things start happening for myself. When you look up, you go up. – Herschel Walker

169231. I don’t read a lot of the sports, because I think people sometimes either build it up, or you have this guy that hates sports that is going to write bad about it, so I figure I’m not going to read it. Because I’m not going to let him put an idea into my head. – Herschel Walker

169236. Believing that no one is better than the other. You know I grew up in the South. My senior year there was a very big racial tension. – Herschel Walker

169237. Because my parents, growing up, they worked hard. Everyone in my family woke up early in the morning. I used to see my mother and my father go off to work, and come back and, no matter what, they had time for the kids. – Herschel Walker

169238. All these older kids here, and I’m the only one from a town that’s so small, if everyone breathed at the same time, you’d run out of oxygen. Man, there is nothing there. – Herschel Walker

169427. The fascists in most Latin American countries tell the people that the reason their wages will not buy as much in the way of goods is because of Yankee imperialism. The fascists in Latin America learn to speak and act like natives. – Henry A. Wallace

169555. With what all these people are saying, do you think that anybody wants to be around me? They all think that I did this on purpose? That I knew that I was positive, for so many years? I feel now that I’m going to be attacked if anybody sees me or if I go to the office. – Marc Wallice

169558. The great thing about social movements is everybody gets to be a part of them. – Jim Wallis

169559. What is my calling? What am I supposed to do? I think running for office, public office, can be a divine calling. I mean, I’ve wrestled with that very question myself. – Jim Wallis

169560. I met the president when he was president-elect at a meeting in Austin. He spoke of his faith. He spoke of his desire for a compassionate conservatism, for a faith-based initiative that would do something for poor people. – Jim Wallis

169561. You can’t be evangelical and associate yourself with Jesus and what he says about the poor and just have no other domestic concerns than tax cuts for wealthy people. – Jim Wallis

169562. Martin Luther King Jr. really understood the role of the churches when he said, ‘The church is not meant to be the master of the state.’ We don’t sort of take power and grab the levers of government and impose our agenda down people’s throats. – Jim Wallis

169563. The left and right are not religious categories. They’re often not even value categories. – Jim Wallis

169564. If the president is going to use so much language of theology and the Bible, then let’s use that language for a serious discussion about the war in Iraq. And that was never done. – Jim Wallis

169565. No, we are not the master of the state, said King. We are not the servant of the state. We are the conscience of the state. The churches or the religious community should be, I think, the conscience of the state. We’re not just service providers. – Jim Wallis

169566. I think it’s a good thing for a president or political leaders to want to put their values or their faith into action. Desmond Tutu did that in South Africa. Martin Luther King Jr. did that here. This is a good thing. – Jim Wallis

169571. But when one believes that you’ve been appointed by God for a particular mission in history, you have to be very careful about that, how you speak about that. Where is the self-reflection in that? Where is the humility in that? – Jim Wallis

169572. But when we place God on our side of things, that we are now ridding the world of evil – that’s very dangerous, that one nation has this role to rid the world of evil. What about the evil we have committed, that we are complicit in? – Jim Wallis

169573. Hope unbelieved is always considered nonsense. But hope believed is history in the process of being changed. – Jim Wallis

169574. I believe in the separation of church and state, absolutely. But I don’t believe in the separation of public life from our values, our basic values, and for many of us, our religious values. – Jim Wallis

169575. I don’t think we should discriminate against an organization or congregation because they’re religious, if they’re doing good work. But government can’t subsidize proselytizing or worship or religious activity. It can’t. – Jim Wallis

169577. We are prophetic interrogators. Why are so many people hungry? Why are so many people and families in our shelters? Why do we have one of six of our children poor, and one of three of these are children of color? ‘Why?’ is the prophetic question. – Jim Wallis

169578. The media seems to think only abortion and gay marriage are religious issues. Poverty is a moral issue, it’s a faith issue, it’s a religious issue. – Jim Wallis

169579. When evangelical leaders can persuade the president to be concerned about what’s happening in Sudan, or sex trafficking around the world, or HIV-AIDS, that’s a very good thing. I am completely supportive of that. – Jim Wallis

169580. Government, which does not and did not grant us our rights, must not now seek to deny them by using fear as its justification. – Malcolm Wallop

169581. The utter incompetence of the U.N. is literally incomprehensible. – Malcolm Wallop

169582. The ultimate end is a nation that lies under the concept of the Declaration of Indepen dence. The Declaration of Independence is such an extraordinary statement – it was designed by people skeptical of government, local or national, but in particular national. – Malcolm Wallop

169583. We are a communicating nation which needs access to space, access to the seas. – Malcolm Wallop

169584. There aren’t traditions of freedom in a place like Iraq. They’re going to have to come to grips with a concept that they hadn’t been allowed to conceive before. – Malcolm Wallop

169585. If the Republicans think that by having stated and even achieved most of the Contract that they are therefore entitled to the acceptance and favor of the American voter, they’re crazy. – Malcolm Wallop

169586. I’m a big supporter of immigration. – Malcolm Wallop

169587. It’s insanity for a party that believes in freedom to allow some Republicans to seize an agenda that is totally alien to the agenda that was established in the election. – Malcolm Wallop

169588. Our educational system is appallingly poor right now. Yet, somehow we’re turning out some of the most intellectual and powerful sophisticated minds in the world. I think that’s because we still have the opportunity here. – Malcolm Wallop

169589. We don’t need a nation that has national identity cards. – Malcolm Wallop

169590. Finally we are a nation with some conscience. It means alliances are extremely important when they’re based on a national interest. We have to have the ability to sustain our presence within those alliances. – Malcolm Wallop

169591. Doctrines provide an architecture for both Republican and Democrat presidents to carry out policies. – Malcolm Wallop

169592. So with the end of the Cold War, it became increasingly obvious that there was no basis upon which any decision was being made, not in the White House, and certainly because of that, not in the Congress. – Malcolm Wallop

169593. The concept of minimum wage is crazy, if you really stop to think about it. If $8 an hour seems right, why not $20 an hour? If it’s coming by order of the government, why stop at any level? Why not just say everyone should get what Gates gets? – Malcolm Wallop

169594. I don’t think the only place to fight for freedom is in the halls of Congress. – Malcolm Wallop

169596. We’re taking on Social Security as a property rights issue. We figure that every single American has an absolute property right interest in the fruits of his or her own labor. What I work for should be my property. – Malcolm Wallop

169597. Yes, many immigrants cherish the value of choice and opportunity and the value of education more than 7th or 8th generation Americans. – Malcolm Wallop

169598. You talked about national identity cards and the terrorism bill. We have made a government that has grown used to viewing us as subjects, has grown used to seeing its role as commanding us. – Malcolm Wallop

169615. The wisest prophets make sure of the event first. – Horace Walpole

169616. Plot, rules, nor even poetry, are not half so great beauties in tragedy or comedy as a just imitation of nature, of character, of the passions and their operations in diversified situations. – Horace Walpole

169617. How well Shakespeare knew how to improve and exalt little circumstances, when he borrowed them from circumstantial or vulgar historians. – Horace Walpole

169618. Poetry is a beautiful way of spoiling prose, and the laborious art of exchanging plain sense for harmony. – Horace Walpole

169619. The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well. – Horace Walpole

169620. I never found even in my juvenile hours that it was necessary to go a thousand miles in search of themes for moralizing. – Horace Walpole

169623. I do not admire politicians; but when they are excellent in their way, one cannot help allowing them their due. – Horace Walpole

169624. I avoid talking before the youth of the age as I would dancing before them: for if one’s tongue don’t move in the steps of the day, and thinks to please by its old graces, it is only an object of ridicule. – Horace Walpole

169625. Men are often capable of greater things than they perform – They are sent into the world with bills of credit, and seldom draw to their full extent. – Horace Walpole

169626. Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he isn’t. A sense of humor was provided to console him for what he is. – Horace Walpole

169627. It was easier to conquer it than to know what to do with it. – Horace Walpole

169628. It was said of old Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, that she never puts dots over her I s, to save ink. – Horace Walpole

169629. Justice is rather the activity of truth, than a virtue in itself. Truth tells us what is due to others, and justice renders that due. Injustice is acting a lie. – Horace Walpole

169631. Life is a tragedy for those who feel, but a comedy to those who think. – Horace Walpole

169634. Happiness comes from… some curious adjustment to life. – Hugh Walpole

169635. But I must think that an address to his majesty to remove one of his servants, without so much as alleging any particular crime against him, is one of the greatest encroachments that was ever made upon the prerogatives of the crown. – Robert Walpole

169636. But I have the satisfaction, at the same time, to reflect that the impression to be made depends upon the consistency of the charge and the motives of the prosecutors. – Robert Walpole

169637. And therefore, for the sake of my mater, without any regard for my own, I hope all those that have a due regard for our constitution and for the rights and prerogatives of the crown, without which our constitution can not be preserved, will be against this motion. – Robert Walpole

169638. And here a most heinous charge is made, that the nation has been burdened with unnecessary expenses for the sole purpose of preventing the discharge of our debts and the abolition of taxes. – Robert Walpole

169639. All those men have their price. – Robert Walpole

169640. Admitting, however, for the sake of argument, that I am prime and sole minister in this country, am I, therefore, prime and sole minister of all Europe? Am I answerable for the conduct of other countries as well as for that of my own? – Robert Walpole

169641. Gentlemen have talked a great deal of patriotism. A venerable word, when duly practised. – Robert Walpole

169642. Is it no imputation to be arraigned before this House, in which I have sat forty years, and to have my name transmitted to posterity with disgrace and infamy? – Robert Walpole

169643. Have I given any symptoms of an avaricious disposition? Have I obtained any grants from the crown since I have been placed at the head of the treasury? Has my conduct been different from that which others in the same station would have followed? – Robert Walpole

169644. I am called repeatedly and insidiously prime and sole minister. – Robert Walpole

169645. I can not, therefore, see how this can be imputed as a crime, or how any of the king’s ministers can be blamed for his doing what the public has no concern in; for if the public be well and faithfully served it has no business to ask by whom. – Robert Walpole

169646. I happened to be one of those who thought all these expenses necessary, and I had the good fortune to have the majority of both houses of Parliament on my side. – Robert Walpole

169651. Oh, do not read history, for that I know must be false. – Robert Walpole

169652. No expense has been incurred but what has been approved of and provided for by Parliament. – Robert Walpole

169653. Some members of both Houses have, it is true, been removed from their employments under the Crown; but were they ever told, either by me or by any other of his majesty’s servants, that it was for opposing the measures of the administration in Parliament? – Robert Walpole

169654. Let sleeping dogs lie. – Robert Walpole

169655. It has from the beginning been carried on with as much vigor and as great care of our trade as was consistent with our safety at home and with the circumstances we were in at the beginning of the war. – Robert Walpole

169656. Whatever was the conduct of England, I am equally arraigned. – Robert Walpole

169657. If they are really persuaded that the army is annually established by me, that I have the sole disposal of posts and honours, that I employ this power in the destruction of liberty and the diminution of commerce, let me awaken them from their delusion. – Robert Walpole

169658. Wherever they have been arraigned, a plain charge has been exhibited against them. They have had an impartial trial and have been permitted to make their defense. – Robert Walpole

169660. IT has been observed by several gentlemen, in vindication of this motion, that if it should be carried, neither my life, liberty, nor estate will be affected. – Robert Walpole

169661. Many words are not wanting to show that the particular view of each court occasioned the dangers which affected the public tranquillity; yet the whole is charged to my account. Nor is this sufficient. – Robert Walpole

169662. Because we believe that our ethnic group, our society, our political party, our God, is better than your God, we kill each other. – Neale Donald Walsch

169663. And we’re seeing a higher level of consciousness and many more opportunities for people to challenge their present ways of thinking and move into a grander and larger experience of who they really are. – Neale Donald Walsch

169664. Beyond the Catholic exclusionary paradigm is a larger one which is the Christian one. Christians claim that if you don’t believe in Christ, you can’t get to heaven. Well that eliminates two thirds of the world’s population! – Neale Donald Walsch

169665. Glorify who you are today, do not condemn who you were yesterday, and dream of who you can be tomorrow. – Neale Donald Walsch

169666. I think that things happen individually first, and then collectively. It’s not the other way around. – Neale Donald Walsch

169667. I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher, every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion, no political party, and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: ‘Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way. – Neale Donald Walsch

169670. It’s a very small and select slice of all the people who have ever been born. I believe we’ve come back during this time, those of us who are here now, specifically to experience it. And to cause a ‘quickening of the spirit.’ – Neale Donald Walsch

169671. I think that’s a result of just a general increase in speed of the vibration of life itself. – Neale Donald Walsch

169672. I’m calling my book series the ‘with God series.’ And this next ‘with God’ book is Friendship with God, which comes out in November. This books challenges us to bring about the end of ‘better’ on this planet. – Neale Donald Walsch

169673. I think the new spirituality will be a spirituality that’s not based on a particular dogma. And that steps away from the old spiritual paradigm that we have created on this planet, which comes from a thought that there is such a thing as being better. – Neale Donald Walsch

169674. I think in metaphysical terms, I would call that increasing the speed of the vibration of life. – Neale Donald Walsch

169675. And in which we say that life is eternal but continue to struggle to survive. – Neale Donald Walsch

169680. The sad part about our past is that religions, ironically enough, are responsible for creating the most destructive idea that has ever been visited upon the human race: the idea that there is such a thing as ‘better.’ – Neale Donald Walsch

169681. They may not use the word better. But they certainly believe that they’ll go to heaven and Jews will not. – Neale Donald Walsch

169682. We’ve seen in the last half century an incredible shift. This is just an extraordinary time to be alive. – Neale Donald Walsch

169683. One either has to believe in a God who’s terribly prejudiced, or disbelieve the teachings of such exclusionary theologies. Religions have taught us that ‘we are better than they.’ – Neale Donald Walsch

169684. A great many people experience the movement from one century to the next, but a minuscule number of people experience the movement from one millennium to the next. – Neale Donald Walsch

169685. Because our choices are largely based on survival. But if life is eternal, life is not a question. – Neale Donald Walsch

169686. And because we are, somehow, better than they, we get to go to heaven and they don’t. Christians will tell you outright that they believe that. – Neale Donald Walsch

169687. A life lived of choice is a life of conscious action. A life lived of chance is a life of unconscious creation. – Neale Donald Walsch

169688. The new spirituality will also base itself on a third very large spiritual understanding, which is that life is eternal. Most religious people claim to believe that, but very few people actually live as if that were true. – Neale Donald Walsch

169689. It graduates to ‘our state is better than your state,’ and ‘our nation is better than your nation.’ And it circles all the way around to where it started: ‘Our God is better than your God.’ – Neale Donald Walsch

169690. The new spirituality is that it will produce an experience in human encounters in which we become a living demonstration of the basic spiritual teaching ‘We are all one.’ – Neale Donald Walsch

169691. As told in Friendship with God, if we simply decided to believe and act as if first, we’re all one, and second, life is eternal, it would render virtually everything we’ve done all our lives pointless. – Neale Donald Walsch

169692. As we move into the 21st century, there’s what the Bible calls a ‘quickening of the spirit.’ – Neale Donald Walsch

169693. It’ll become obvious that we’ve really been working against ourselves. – Neale Donald Walsch

169694. Writers’ bedtimes vary, but few have been spared the shock of a copy editor’s early wake-up call. – Bill Walsh

169695. Nothing is more effective than sincere, accurate praise, and nothing is more lame than a cookie-cutter compliment. – Bill Walsh

169696. Machines aren’t replacing proofreaders at all. Copy editors, who proofread and much, much more, use spellcheck as a tool but read every word that appears in the paper. – Bill Walsh

169697. If any sort of error is inexcusable, it’s an incorrect phone number. One of the cardinal rules of copy editing is that every phone number published must be checked. – Bill Walsh

169699. I caution against beginning or ending a quotation with ellipses. – Bill Walsh

169701. It is a struggle. But I don’t mind. I will just keep fighting on. – J. T. Walsh

169702. We are such materialists that all our metaphors are going to be material. – J. T. Walsh

169704. For as long as this nation has known war, we have embraced the heroes it has produced. Americans have rightfully noted the honor and nobility of courage under hostile fire and thanked those who perished in their defense. – James T. Walsh

169705. And yet 50 percent of the kids who start high school in the United States today do not finish high school. – James T. Walsh

169713. Looking long term, a stronger, wealthier, and more stable Central America next door benefits the United States’ own safety, security, and economy. – James T. Walsh

169714. Our soldiers have done a valiant effort in fighting terrorism and bringing a semblance of law and order to the chaos in the region and it would be shortsighted to lay out a specific timetable to bring U.S. troops home prematurely before their mission is accomplished. – James T. Walsh

169715. Rest assured that my support for any eventual reform package will be based firmly upon what is in the best interests of the people of Upstate New York, not any party or president. – James T. Walsh

169716. The Children’s Safety Act will help protect children from the perpetrators of these vile crimes by strengthening notification requirements for sex offenders and increasing criminal penalties. – James T. Walsh

169717. The IRA has abandoned its armed struggle in pursuit of its goals by political means. This must be fully acknowledged. Continued challenge does nothing but obstruct and inhibit the peace process. – James T. Walsh

169718. The sexual abuse and exploitation of children is one of the most vicious crimes conceivable, a violation of mankind’s most basic duty to protect the innocent. – James T. Walsh

169719. We have a responsibility to make sure that the limited resources we have are spent efficiently and effectively and that programs achieve their mission. – James T. Walsh

169720. What they will try to do is get symbolic victories. Symbolism is important to them. They have little else. But they will strike, I believe, at centers of media, of financial, of American power, of American culture; and that is where we should place our bet. – James T. Walsh

169721. I do not believe that the Social Security system is in crisis. The Social Security Administration itself recently reported that the system is able to pay full benefits as they are defined today until at least 2042. – James T. Walsh

169722. New Yorkers should know that no one in the Administration, at the Department of Defense, or at the Selective Service System is advocating the reinstatement of the mandatory draft in any form. – Jim Walsh

169724. Certainly, we need to support the communities around the country, and we do. – Jim Walsh

169725. For as long as this nation has known war, we have embraced the heroes it has produced. – Jim Walsh

169726. I believe Congress has a duty to do so as well; not simply as a body of legislators, but more importantly as a community of friends, neighbors, parents and Americans. – Jim Walsh

169727. I believe, based on the activities, and I am not an expert on terrorism by any stretch, but I believe that when they attacked the United States and they attacked New York and Washington, D.C., they thought they could defeat us. – Jim Walsh

169728. I do not believe that the Social Security system is in crisis. – Jim Walsh

169729. With this realization, came a growing need for men and women willing to take up arms in an effort to protect our American way of life and the freedoms so many of our ancestors died to entrench. – Jim Walsh

169731. We must never forget or diminish the sacrifices of those who gave everything for this nation. – Jim Walsh

169732. Our soldiers and their families are benefiting. They deserve good, quality housing and they need it. – Jim Walsh

169738. Medicare and Social Security have created the healthiest and most financially secure generation of senior citizens in American history. – Jim Walsh

169739. Adam’s abduction was our private hell – but it was not an isolated incident. On any given day, any number of children are absent from their homes for diverse and numerous reasons. – John Walsh

169740. The abduction of a child is a tragedy. No one can fully understand or appreciate what a parent goes through at such a time, unless they have faced a similar tragedy. Every parent responds differently. Each parent copes with this nightmare in the best way he or she knows how. – John Walsh

169741. One missing child is one too many. – John Walsh

169742. America is ready for intelligent talk. I am ready to bring some humanity to TV. – John Walsh

169745. I’m impressed with how professional they are and what they can get an animal to do. I mean, dogs and cats – that’s one thing. But when you get into the larger animals, that’s a different thing all together. – M. Emmet Walsh

169746. Hell, I’m an old man. I’m 70 years old. I’m supposed to be sitting on a rocking chair watching the sunset. – M. Emmet Walsh

169747. But I’ve worked where they’ve had animals before, and animal wranglers, the people who raise animals and train animals for films and television, they’re all very, very professional. – M. Emmet Walsh

169748. But I’m an actor and I like to just keep working. – M. Emmet Walsh

169749. No, I’m not a horse better. Every once in a while somebody will give me a sure thing and of course it’s not. – M. Emmet Walsh

169756. See and keep silent. – Francis Walsingham

169757. Knowledge is never too dear. – Francis Walsingham

169758. I call God to witness that as a private person I have done nothing unbeseeming an honest man, nor, as I bear the place of a public man, have I done anything unworthy of my place. – Francis Walsingham

169760. If they’re working in a workshop somewhere, where there is, let’s say, uh… only twenty people, or something like that, that’s still, when they work and do a scene, that’s still working in front of somebody. – Ray Walston

169761. I should have been trying to build a career, rather than leaving it in the hands of somebody else. – Ray Walston

169762. Talent will come out. – Ray Walston

169763. If it’s not in New York, let’s say it’s in St. Louis, then they’ve got to find a place or get with someone who knows about the work… they’ve got to find a place like that and do scenes, and then try to get in plays. – Ray Walston

169764. I’ve often wondered, when they’ve done Of Mice And Men on stage, and I’ve seen it, how they did that gun thing. I’ve watched it on stage, but I don’t remember it. – Ray Walston

169765. I was very conscious of the actor; watched what he did. – Ray Walston

169766. I don’t see all the movies that come out. – Ray Walston
