26900. You must submit to supreme suffering in order to discover the completion of joy. – John Calvin

26901. No man is excluded from calling upon God, the gate of salvation is set open unto all men: neither is there any other thing which keepeth us back from entering in, save only our own unbelief. – John Calvin

26902. There is no work, however vile or sordid, that does not glisten before God. – John Calvin

26903. A dog barks when his master is attacked. I would be a coward if I saw that God’s truth is attacked and yet would remain silent. – John Calvin

26904. For each of us who appear to have had a successful experiment there are many to whom their own experiments seem barren and negative. – Melvin Calvin

26905. To express to you in mere words, our personal feelings on this occasion you must know to be impossible, and particularly so for one who normally has to describe only things outside himself. – Melvin Calvin

26906. If I may take the liberty to speak for science at least, today his name and his prizes are without a peer in the world. He not only elevates science but he influences it as well. – Melvin Calvin

26907. In love, as in gluttony, pleasure is a matter of the utmost precision. – Italo Calvino

26908. It is not the voice that commands the story: it is the ear. – Italo Calvino

26909. The catalogue of forms is endless: until every shape has found its city, new cities will continue to be born. When the forms exhaust their variety and come apart, the end of cities begins. – Italo Calvino

26910. The human race is a zone of living things that should be defined by tracing its confines. – Italo Calvino

26911. A classic is a book that has never finished saying what it has to say. – Italo Calvino

26912. Biographical data, even those recorded in the public registers, are the most private things one has, and to declare them openly is rather like facing a psychoanalyst. – Italo Calvino

26913. The satirist is prevented by repulsion from gaining a better knowledge of the world he is attracted to, yet he is forced by attraction to concern himself with the world that repels him. – Italo Calvino

26914. Traveling, you realize that differences are lost: each city takes to resembling all cities, places exchange their form, order, distances, a shapeless dust cloud invades the continents. – Italo Calvino

26915. The more enlightened our houses are, the more their walls ooze ghosts. – Italo Calvino

26916. What Romantic terminology called genius or talent or inspiration is nothing other than finding the right road empirically, following one’s nose, taking shortcuts. – Italo Calvino

26917. It is better to be defeated on principle than to win on lies. – Arthur Calwell

26918. That is really not much different from the search engines that are being constructed today for users throughout the entire world to allow them to search through databases to access the information that they require. – Stephen Cambone

26919. And the reason for focusing on that time frame is that it’s going to take us a considerable period of time to develop the new capabilities, processes and organizations that will be needed. – Stephen Cambone

26920. And then fourth, we have that essential group of people who track programs and budgets to ensure that they align with the needs of preparation and warning, counterintelligence and support to the operational war fighter. – Stephen Cambone

26921. And to do that not only for the war fighter, but also to help prepare the people in the acquisition, personnel and policy worlds who need to make adjustments in the department’s business, which itself may take 10 or 15 years to accomplish. – Stephen Cambone

26922. But by providing the background picture – the universal situational awareness that we desire – by showing the anomalies, the Space-Based Radar will change the nature of how we do our analysis and our intelligence. – Stephen Cambone

26923. In other words, by finding the anomalous event, what you do is you get out ahead of activities. – Stephen Cambone

26924. It’s easy to measure success by the number of dollars spent or by the number of programs initiated, without having too much regard for what was bought and how useful it was to the people who need it – the war fighter and the analyst. – Stephen Cambone

26925. One is to ensure that the war fighters and the intelligence analysts get the information that they need when they need it, in a format that’s useful to them. – Stephen Cambone

26926. Our focus is on outputs rather than inputs. – Stephen Cambone

26927. When you live in a networked environment, it’s possible to separate data from applications. – Stephen Cambone

26928. Over the course of two years, we arrived at a point where we began to look at the value added by making information more easily accessible across the intelligence community, both defense and national. – Stephen Cambone

26929. Where we have the choice between putting a dollar against those that are going to advance horizontal integration and those that are going to sustain current capability, we’d rather put them against the horizontal integration activity. – Stephen Cambone

26930. So we have a group within the office that is devoted to support for the war fighter. That’s, of necessity, an operational and tactical level of concern. – Stephen Cambone

26931. We’ve complemented that with a second office to think about how we need to prepare ourselves for that period 10 or 15 or 20 years from now, by way of investment in our technology, our organization and our people. – Stephen Cambone

26932. We have been working hard to think about what our combined needs are going to be in the way of intelligence capabilities, not today but 15 to 20 years in the future. – Stephen Cambone

26933. Thirdly, as we move through this process of integrating the communications, we will begin to emulate more of the World Wide Web in our work in the future. – Stephen Cambone

26934. The users are not going to be in the position of accepting what’s been collected; they’re going to be in the position of being able to demand collection. – Stephen Cambone

26935. The third group is focused on counterintelligence and security. I think the reason for that is fairly evident, in terms of vulnerabilities of the department and the harm that can come to it by failing to detect when we have, in fact, been harmed. – Stephen Cambone

26936. The office has oversight of people who do analysis and oversight of people who do operations, but it is not charged with doing either. That is an important point to make. Those functions are performed by the CIA, DIA and other agencies. – Stephen Cambone

26937. That’s driven by any number of factors, the most prominent of which have been the combat experience of two major campaigns – one in Afghanistan and the other in Iraq – and the ongoing demands of the global war on terrorism. – Stephen Cambone

26938. There is a reasonable concern that posting raw data can be misleading for those who are not trained in its use and who do not have the broader perspective within which to place a particular piece of data that is raw. – Stephen Cambone

26939. Nature hath given not only to the highest, but also to the inferior, classes of the people of this nation, a boldness and confidence in speaking and answering, even in the presence of their princes and chieftains. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26940. Wales was in ancient times divided into three parts nearly equal, consideration having been paid, in this division, more to the value than to the just quantity or proportion of territory. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26941. These people being of a sharp and acute intellect, and gifted with a rich and powerful understanding, excel in whatever studies they pursue, and are more quick and cunning than the other inhabitants of a western clime. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26942. The men and women cut their hair close round to the ears and eyes. The women, after the manner of the Parthians, cover their heads with a large white veil, folded together in the form of a crown. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26943. Since, therefore, no man is born without faults, and he is esteemed the best whose errors are the least, let the wise man consider everything human as connected with himself; for in worldly affairs there is no perfect happiness under heaven. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26944. Not addicted to gluttony or drunkenness, this people who incur no expense in food or dress, and whose minds are always bent upon the defence of their country, and on the means of plunder, are wholly employed in the care of their horses and furniture. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26945. Evil borders upon good, and vices are confounded with virtues; as the report of good qualities is delightful to a well-disposed mind, so the relation of the contrary should not be offensive. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26946. No one of this nation ever begs, for the houses of all are common to all; and they consider liberality and hospitality amongst the first virtues. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26947. Happy and fortunate indeed would this nation be, nay, completely blessed, if it had good prelates and pastors, and but one prince, and that prince a good one. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26948. From these inconsiderable attempts, some idea may be formed with what success, should Fortune afford an opportunity, I am likely to treat matters of greater importance. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26949. Nor do I think that any other nation than this of Wales, nor any other language, whatever may hereafter come to pass, shall on the day of severe examination before the Supreme Judge, answer for this corner of the earth. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26950. It is remarkable that this people, though unarmed, dares attack an armed foe; the infantry defy the cavalry, and by their activity and courage generally prove victors. – Giraldus Cambrensis

26951. Have all the hopes of ages come to naught? Is life no more with noble meaning fraught? – Ada Cambridge

26952. Let Justice, blind and halt and maimed, chastise the rebel spirit surging in my veins, let the Law deal me penalties and pains And make me hideous in my neighbours’ eyes. – Ada Cambridge

26953. O what is life, if we must hold it thus as wind-blown sparks hold momentary fire? – Ada Cambridge

26954. Alone! Alone! No beacon, far or near! No chart, no compass, and no anchor stay! – Ada Cambridge

26955. What is the worth of anything, But for the happiness ’twill bring? – Richard Owen Cambridge

26956. Better a bad excuse, than none at all. – William Camden

26957. The early bird catches the worm. – William Camden

26958. The sea hath fish for every man. – William Camden

26959. Deep down, the Iraqi people want the United States out. And their self-determination should be respected. – Peter Camejo

26960. All electoral laws in Europe are more democratic than they are in the United States. – Peter Camejo

26961. I was the candidate first time a Green or any progressive third party has ever been in a national televised debate. I was in five of them. And the response from the public was overwhelming. – Peter Camejo

26962. I really think the Patriot Act violates our Constitution. It was, it is, an illegal act. The Congress, the Senate and the president cannot change the Constitution. – Peter Camejo

26963. Much of what we see in America, what most people feel has been progress and good things, have been brought about by the existence of third parties. – Peter Camejo

26964. The Green Party represents that majority point of view within the U.S. – Peter Camejo

26965. The Greens have every right to run, that’s what democracy is, and they should argue their point by saying how they think people should vote, not by telling us to be silent. – Peter Camejo

26966. The United States is not for democracy in Iraq, it’s for setting up a puppet government. – Peter Camejo

26967. We must have a fair tax in the United States. We have to re-adjust it, we must be fiscally responsible. – Peter Camejo

26968. A Green Party candidate would be very different from a Democrat or Republican and should be heard. – Peter Camejo

26969. No one in their right mind can say to me with a straight face that the Patriot Act has not aggregated the Fourth Amendment. – Peter Camejo

26970. Once you find love, you find it. There isn’t an age on love. – Candace Cameron

26971. The cool thing about my profession is that I can do it until the day I die. – Candace Cameron

26972. Once I got my driver’s license everybody treated me like I was an adult. – Candace Cameron

26973. I figure this is my time – to relax, be with my family and have a normal life. – Candace Cameron

26974. Almost everyone thinks they are a good person, but the question you should be asking is, am I good enough to go to Heaven? How would you know? – Candace Cameron

26975. There’s another way we are getting behind business – by sorting out the banks. Taxpayers bailed you out. Now it’s time for you to repay the favour and start lending to Britain’s small businesses. – David Cameron

26976. What we’re putting forward is the most radical reform of the welfare state… for 60 years. I think it will have a transformative effect in making sure that everyone is better off in work and better off working rather than on benefits. – David Cameron

26977. We will say to people that if you can work, and if you want to work, we will do everything we can to help you. We will give you the training, we will give you the support, we will give you the advice to get you going and get you back at work. – David Cameron

26978. We spend billions of pounds on welfare, yet millions are trapped on welfare. It’s not worth their while going into work. – David Cameron

26979. But we will say something else. That for far too long in this country, people who can work, people who are able to work, and people who choose not to work: you cannot go on claiming welfare like you are now. – David Cameron

26980. We cannot go on as we are with 2.6 million people on incapacity benefit, 500,000 of them are under 35. Are we really saying there are half a million people in this country under 35 who are simply too ill to work? I don’t think that’s right. – David Cameron

26981. On the one hand we have got to ask, are there some areas of universal benefits that are no longer affordable? But on the other hand let us look at the issue of dependency where we have trapped people in poverty through the extent of welfare that they have. – David Cameron

26982. It is vital that we get these policies right as we take forward our plans to drive down the deficit and transform our economy. – David Cameron

26983. If you can work and if you’re offered a job and you don’t take it, you cannot continue to claim benefits. It will be extremely tough. – David Cameron

26984. At a time when we’re having to take such difficult decisions about how to cut back without damaging the things that matter the most, we should strain every sinew to cut error, waste and fraud. – David Cameron

26985. I think we need to just be very clear about what we’re trying to do in Afghanistan. Frankly, we’re not trying to create the perfect democracy. We’re never going to create some ideal society. We are simply there for our own national security. – David Cameron

26986. I mean, I’m a conservative. I believe that, you know, if you borrow too much, you just build up debts for your children to pay off. You put pressure on interest rates. You put at risk your economy. That’s the case in Britain. We’re not a reserve currency, so we need to get on and deal with this issue. – David Cameron

26987. I know the British people and they are not passengers – they are drivers. – David Cameron

26988. Cap the well, yes. Clear up the mess, yes. Make compensation – yes, absolutely. But would it be right to have legislation that independently targets BP rather than other companies? I don’t think that – would be right. – David Cameron

26989. We need the Chinese to – you know, spend more, save less – consume more and not be so focused on exports. There are big changes we need in the world. – David Cameron

26990. I like the evening in India, the one magic moment when the sun balances on the rim of the world, and the hush descends, and ten thousand civil servants drift homeward on a river of bicycles, brooding on the Lord Krishna and the cost of living. – James Cameron

26991. I actually started as a model builder and quickly progressed into production design, which made sense because I could draw and paint. But I kept watching that guy over there who was moving the actors around and setting up the shots. – James Cameron

26992. I blame it on Walt Disney, where animals are given human qualities. People don’t understand that a wild animal is not something that is nice to pat. It can seriously harm you. – James Cameron

26993. I certainly didn’t think of myself as gifted. The standards for being gifted in my environment were if you were good in Little League or if you were good in football. – James Cameron

26994. I do an awful lot of scuba diving. I love to be on the ocean, under the ocean. I live next to the ocean. – James Cameron

26995. It’ll be all of our efforts together. It won’t won’t ever be exactly the way I imagined it. And that is, I think, an important lesson as well, is that in any group enterprise it’s going to be the sum total of the group. – James Cameron

26996. You know, in the film making business no one ever gives you anything. – James Cameron

26997. You have to not listen to the nay sayers because there will be many and often they’ll be much more qualified than you and cause you to sort of doubt yourself. – James Cameron

26998. What are you gonna do, talk the alien to death? – James Cameron

26999. There is a hugely underserved population out there… those who are the least capable of paying pay the highest. – James Cameron

27000. The magic doesn’t come from within the director’s mind, it comes from within the hearts of the actors. – James Cameron
