40208. When I was a little kid, I used to really embarrass my parents. – Russell Crowe

40209. I like villains because there’s something so attractive about a committed person – they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They’re motivated. – Russell Crowe

40210. Reality is, I’m an actor and an entertainer, and I really wouldn’t know what to do with another profession. – Russell Crowe

40211. I don’t make demands. I don’t tell you how it should be. I’ll give you options, and it’s up to you to select or throw ’em away. That should be the headline: If you’re insecure, don’t call. – Russell Crowe

40212. God bless America. God save the Queen. God defend New Zealand and thank Christ for Australia. – Russell Crowe

40213. I really feel sorry for people who are, who divide their whole life up into ‘things that I like’ and ‘things that I must do.’ You’re only here for a short time, mate. Learn to like it. – Russell Crowe

40214. Meg Ryan is a beautiful and courageous woman. I grieve the loss of her companionship but I’ve not lost the friendship. We talk all the time and that was what our connection was about. She has a wonderful mind and we just like a chat. – Russell Crowe

40215. I would not fear nor wish my fate, but boldly say each night, tomorrow let my sun his beams display, or in clouds hide them; I have lived today. – Abraham Crowley

40218. Ordinary morality is only for ordinary people. – Aleister Crowley

40219. To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter. – Aleister Crowley

40220. To me a book is a message from the gods to mankind; or, if not, should never be published at all. – Aleister Crowley

40221. The supreme satisfaction is to be able to despise one’s neighbor and this fact goes far to account for religious intolerance. It is evidently consoling to reflect that the people next door are headed for hell. – Aleister Crowley

40222. The pious pretense that evil does not exist only makes it vague, enormous and menacing. – Aleister Crowley

40223. The people who have really made history are the martyrs. – Aleister Crowley

40224. The conscience of the world is so guilty that it always assumes that people who investigate heresies must be heretics; just as if a doctor who studies leprosy must be a leper. Indeed, it is only recently that science has been allowed to study anything without reproach. – Aleister Crowley

40225. Science is always discovering odd scraps of magical wisdom and making a tremendous fuss about its cleverness. – Aleister Crowley

40226. Intolerance is evidence of impotence. – Aleister Crowley

40230. The joy of life consists in the exercise of one’s energies, continual growth, constant change, the enjoyment of every new experience. To stop means simply to die. The eternal mistake of mankind is to set up an attainable ideal. – Aleister Crowley

40231. I can imagine myself on my death-bed, spent utterly with lust to touch the next world, like a boy asking for his first kiss from a woman. – Aleister Crowley

40232. In the absence of willpower the most complete collection of virtues and talents is wholly worthless. – Aleister Crowley

40233. If one were to take the bible seriously one would go mad. But to take the bible seriously, one must be already mad. – Aleister Crowley

40234. I was not content to believe in a personal devil and serve him, in the ordinary sense of the word. I wanted to get hold of him personally and become his chief of staff. – Aleister Crowley

40235. I was asked to memorise what I did not understand; and, my memory being so good, it refused to be insulted in that manner. – Aleister Crowley

40241. Indubitably, magic is one of the subtlest and most difficult of the sciences and arts. There is more opportunity for errors of comprehension, judgment and practice than in any other branch of physics. – Aleister Crowley

40242. I had very clever producers, who scheduled it brilliantly, but scheduling it was a nightmare. – John Crowley

40243. The bottom line is, it’s a great script and that’s very inspiring and makes you want to overcome whatever technical difficulties you come up against. – John Crowley

40244. Fundamentally, whether directing in the theatre or a film, you have to be a good storyteller, regardless of the form. The thing I had to work hardest at was thinking in shots. – John Crowley

40245. Certainly it’s very difficult to keep momentum going through a film which has as many characters as this does, and the piece took on a life of its own to try and shape it. That took all the time we had in editing. – John Crowley

40246. But I’m very happy to work within tight parameters, and when you know you have an actor for two days, and you have to get that work done in two days, that focuses the mind wonderfully. – John Crowley

40247. Some of the FDA’s own scientists have charged that politics, not science, is behind the FDA’s actions. – Joseph Crowley

40248. Every time I do a movie, I think it’s going to be a huge hit. – Billy Crudup

40249. If I had done ‘Titanic,’ it would have made, probably, $200,000 – worldwide. So I think my life would have been very, very similar. – Billy Crudup

40250. My limits are limitless. I find my limits every time I act. – Billy Crudup

40251. That’s what I always enjoyed about acting, the real adrenalin rush. My heart – still before I go on stage – crashing out of my chest. That’s thrilling to me. – Billy Crudup

40252. I don’t want to be a thief of my own wallet. – Johan Cruijff

40253. Without the ball, you can’t win. – Johan Cruijff

40255. Sometimes something’s got to happen before something is going to happen. – Johan Cruijff

40256. Speed is often confused with insight. When I start running earlier than the others, I appear faster. – Johan Cruijff

40257. You have got to shoot, otherwise you can’t score. – Johan Cruijff

40258. I’m not religious. In Spain all 22 players make the sign of the cross before they enter the pitch. If it works all matches must therefore end in a draw. – Johan Cruijff

40259. Every disadvantage has its advantage. – Johan Cruijff

40260. Coincidence is logical. – Johan Cruijff

40261. Soccer is simple, but it is difficult to play simple. – Johan Cruijff

40262. Italians can not beat us, but we can certainly lose against them. – Johan Cruijff

40263. What I find sometimes that is tricky is if actors are using too much of their own life in a picture, in a scene, they get locked into a particular way to play the scene, and it lacks an immediacy. – Tom Cruise

40264. I’ve learned to relax more. Everybody feels pressure in what they do, maybe mine is just a little different because there doesn’t seem to be enough hours in the day to accomplish what I want to. – Tom Cruise

40265. I’ve never done work for money ever. If your choices are based on grosses and the film doesn’t do well, what does that mean? It leaves you with nothing. – Tom Cruise

40266. It’s well known I’m a Scientologist, and that has helped me to find that inner peace in my life and it’s something that has given me great stability and tools that I use. – Tom Cruise

40267. Saddam has committed many crimes against humanity and against his own people. – Tom Cruise

40268. Talk is over-rated as a means of settling disputes. – Tom Cruise

40269. I’ve gotten very good at scheduling my life, scheduling the scene and preparing myself for knowing, saving the energy, consuming the energy, knowing when to go for it and having the available reserves to be able to do that. You have to think about that, because it’s endurance. – Tom Cruise

40270. The thing about film-making is I give it everything, that’s why I work so hard. I always tell young actors to take charge. It’s not that hard. Sign your own cheques, be responsible. – Tom Cruise

40271. I’ve never made a film that I didn’t believe in, you know? However the picture turns out, I’ve always given everything to it. That’s kind of how I approach life. I can’t help it. There’s no part-way with me on anything in any area of my life. – Tom Cruise

40272. When I first started out all the attention could be a bit unnerving, especially when people stared. Now I find the best thing is to just relax. Being recognized is just something you have to get used to. – Tom Cruise

40273. When I work, I work very hard. So I look to work with people who have that level of dedication. And I depend on that from everyone. From the director to my crews that I work with. – Tom Cruise

40274. When you become successful in any type of life, there are people who are not contributing to the motion. – Tom Cruise

40277. I always look for a challenge and something that’s different. – Tom Cruise

40278. Nothing ends nicely, that’s why it ends. – Tom Cruise

40279. I’ve been… chased by paparazzi, and they run lights, and they chase you and harass you the whole time. It happens all over the world, and it has certainly gotten worse. You don’t know what it’s like being chased by them. – Tom Cruise

40280. Awards are wonderful. I’ve been nominated many times and I’ve won many awards. But my journey is not towards that. If it happens it will be a blast. If it doesn’t, it’s still been a blast. – Tom Cruise

40281. Have you ever gotten the feeling that you aren’t completely embarassed yet, but you glimpse tomorrow’s embarrassment? – Tom Cruise

40282. As a young actor, people were trying to define who I was before I really knew that for myself. But I still remember thinking, “This is what I love doing, and I hope I’m going to be able to do it forever.” – Tom Cruise

40283. I didn’t become an actor to have power, but it just happens that I have it and so I have a lot of opportunities. – Tom Cruise

40284. I disagree with people who think you learn more from getting beat up than you do from winning. – Tom Cruise

40285. I look at the Samurai because they were the artists of their time. What I think struck me when I read Bushido is compassion. ‘If there’s no one there to help, go out and find someone to help.’ That hit me, because I try to lead my life like that. – Tom Cruise

40286. I love kids. I was a kid myself, once. – Tom Cruise

40287. I love what I do. I take great pride in what I do. And I can’t do something halfway, three-quarters, nine-tenths. If I’m going to do something, I go all the way. – Tom Cruise

40288. I want a world without war, a world without insanity. I want to see people do well. I don’t even think it’s as much as what I want for myself. It’s more what I want for the people around me. That’s what I want. – Tom Cruise

40289. I would live with all of my sisters if I could. We’ve always been very close, my sisters and me. – Tom Cruise

40290. I’m passionate about learning. I’m passionate about life. – Tom Cruise

40291. Every single time I start to do a picture, without fail, I feel as if I don’t know what I’m doing. – Tom Cruise

40292. The advent of electronically synthesized sound after World War II has unquestionably had enormous influence on music in general. – George Crumb

40293. One very important aspect of our contemporary musical culture – some might say the supremely important aspect – is its extension in the historical and geographical senses to a degree unknown in the past. – George Crumb

40294. Perhaps many of the perplexing problems of the new music could be put into a new light if we were to reintroduce the ancient idea of music being a reflection of nature. – George Crumb

40295. Perhaps of all the most basic elements of music, rhythm most directly affects our central nervous system. – George Crumb

40296. Nonetheless, I sense that it will be the task of the future to somehow synthesize the sheer diversity of our present resources into a more organic and well-ordered procedure. – George Crumb

40297. Perhaps two million years ago the creatures of a planet in some remote galaxy faced a musical crisis similar to that which we earthly composers face today. – George Crumb

40301. This is not a happy time for this kind of music in this country. – George Crumb

40302. Unquestionably, our contemporary world of music is far richer, in a sense, than earlier periods, due to the historical and geographical extensions of culture to which I have referred. – George Crumb

40303. I must confess, my Spanish is not so good – except I read a little, so I started with the English but then determined that it would have to be in Spanish. – George Crumb

40304. Writing seems to be more difficult as you move through the years. – George Crumb

40305. It is easy to write unthinking music. – George Crumb

40306. In a broader sense, the rhythms of nature, large and small – the sounds of wind and water, the sounds of birds and insects – must inevitably find their analogues in music. – George Crumb

40307. If we look at music history closely, it is not difficult to isolate certain elements of great potency which were to nourish the art of music for decades, if not centuries. – George Crumb

40308. I pick up the New York Times or Time and it’s talking about the latest rock group, which I’m sure is exciting to some people, but it neglects a huge area of music. – George Crumb

40309. Most of my influences are turn-of-the-century. – George Crumb

40310. I have observed, too, that the people of the many countries that I have visited are showing an ever increasing interest in the classical and traditional music of their own cultures. – George Crumb

40311. I frequently hear our present period described as uncertain, confused, chaotic. – George Crumb

40312. I am optimistic about the future of music. – George Crumb

40313. I am certain that most composers today would consider today’s music to be rich, not to say confusing, in its enormous diversity of styles, technical procedures, and systems of esthetics. – George Crumb

40314. As interesting as that music can occasionally be, I don’t think it really replaces the other. – George Crumb

40315. Although technical discussions are interesting to composers, I suspect that the truly magical and spiritual powers of music arise from deeper levels of our psyche. – George Crumb

40316. I think we’re in a very low point of music right now. – George Crumb

40317. I have always had an abiding interest in that type of female anatomy. – Robert Crumb

40318. I moved further and further away from mass entertainment. The sexual element became increasingly sinister and bizarre. Don’t blame me! The bastards drove me to it! They all backed off after that! – Robert Crumb

40319. Everything that is strong in me has gone into my art work. – Robert Crumb

40320. I felt so painfully isolated that I vowed I would get revenge on the world by becoming a famous cartoonist. – Robert Crumb

40321. I guess I didn’t enjoy drawing very much. It was like homework. – Robert Crumb

40322. Killing yourself is a major commitment, it takes a kind of courage. Most people just lead lives of cowardly desperation. It’s kinda half suicide where you just dull yourself with substances. – Robert Crumb

40323. When people say ‘What are underground comics?’ I think the best way you can define them is just the absolute freedom involved… we didn’t have anyone standing over us. – Robert Crumb

40324. When I come up against the real world, I just vacillate. – Robert Crumb

40325. The only burning passion I’m sure I have, is the passion for sex. – Robert Crumb

40326. Most of my adult life I had this towering contempt for America. – Robert Crumb

40327. Oh, yes. I knew I was weird by the time I was four. I knew I wasn’t like other boys. I knew I was more fearful. I didn’t like the rough and tumble most boys were into. I knew I was a sissy. – Robert Crumb

40328. I think housework is the reason most women go to the office. – Heloise Cruse

40329. I feel that it’s the music, not anything else, that matters. – Brandon Cruz

40330. The crew knew because they had heard from other people, and when I showed up on the set the next day, they were all looking at me kind of weird. I told them that Bill always taught me that whenever something bad like that happens, the best thing to do is work. – Brandon Cruz

40331. You could not even pay anyone to say something bad about Bill. – Brandon Cruz

40332. If I don’t work, I’ll be sitting on the couch watching TV, eating popcorn and getting like a cow. – Celia Cruz

40333. I love living on that stage. Without that, I’d die. – Celia Cruz

40334. You would give up your career if you lost your voice for good, or if the impresarios stopped calling, or the audiences stopped coming. But as long as those things are there, I don’t plan to stop. There is nothing that makes me feel better than to be with my public. – Celia Cruz

40335. Singing is my life. It has always been my life. It will always be my life. – Celia Cruz

40336. I always clean before the cleaning lady comes. If not, when I come home, I can’t find anything. Cleaning ladies are always hiding things you leave out. – Celia Cruz

40337. The most important lesson I’ve learned in this business is how to say no. I have said no to a lot of temptations, and I am glad I did. – Penelope Cruz

40338. I want to have babies one day but not right now. When I do it I want to do it really well. I want it to be my best project in life. – Penelope Cruz

40339. I like roles that people don’t recognize me in. – Penelope Cruz

40340. I have stepped off the relationship scene to come to terms with myself. I have spent most of my adult life being ‘someone’s girlfriend’, and now I am happy being single. – Penelope Cruz

40341. I don’t know if I believe in marriage. I believe in family, love and children. – Penelope Cruz

40342. I am amazed about how everyone wants to know about my love life. They whisper to me, ‘Tell me the truth? Is it true?’ Who cares? Because we have this job, we are to say to everybody what we do, or with whom we sleep? It’s a bit absurd, but that’s why everybody lies so much. – Penelope Cruz

40343. The most difficult thing in the world is to start a career known only for your looks, and then to try to become a serious actress. No one will take you seriously once you are known as the pretty woman. – Penelope Cruz

40344. My ambition is to be happy. – Penelope Cruz

40345. Johnny Depp is so special that he is like a Martian. In fact, that’s what I call him, Martian. – Penelope Cruz

40357. To be good, you need to believe in what you’re doing. – Billy Crystal

40358. Women need a reason to have sex. Men just need a place. – Billy Crystal

40359. That’s the thing about jazz: it’s free flowing, it comes from your soul. – Billy Crystal

40360. As I get older and I get a few more years experience I become more like Dad, you know, King Lear. – David Crystal

40361. At the same time we overlap, because, I do linguistics, and Ben did a first degree in Linguistics at Lancaster University, so he knows some of my subject. – David Crystal

40362. It took three years to put Shakespeare’s words together, there were a lot of words to be studied and a lot of words to be sorted out, and it proved to be a major project. – David Crystal

40363. It hasn’t been a problem with Ben, I think we worked together very well, we don’t have rows. – David Crystal

40364. And it has become a kind of a truism in the study of creativity that you can’t be creating anything with less than 10 years of technical knowledge immersion in a particular field. – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

40365. And, in fact, you can find that the lack of basic resources, material resources, contributes to unhappiness, but the increase in material resources do not increase happiness. – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

40366. If we know what that set point is, we can predict fairly accurately when you will be in flow, and it will be when your challenges are higher than average and skills are higher than average. – Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi

40367. Repetition on things like that becomes quite painful. If you do a stunt sometimes it can look like a stunt. – Marton Csokas

40368. I remember Berlin. Berlin to me was the star of the film. I loved for six months that we filmed there. – Marton Csokas

40369. I would take lots of falls and you know, get shot three or four times and this sort of thing, so all that sort of stuff. And there are tussles with various characters. I like that kind of thing. – Marton Csokas

40370. I’ve done a lot of that kind of work before, anyway, and I was in good hands. – Marton Csokas

40371. The sexual deviance – I’d be lying if I said I didn’t miss that; but we do have hints of it but in a more psychological way and therefore more human way, arguably. Or certainly to the extent that the animated series takes that sexuality. – Marton Csokas

40372. I’m relatively physically adept and I like throwing myself around. Once, twice, but then you get to nine, ten, eleven and to try and make it look realistic all the time, that’s not very pleasant. – Marton Csokas

40373. Any time you try to win everything, you must be willing to lose everything. – Larry Csonka

40374. I do not find the supposed scientific consensus among my colleagues. Curiously, it is a feature of man-made global warming that every fact confirms it: rising temperatures or decreasing temperatures. No matter what the weather, some model of global warming offers a watertight explanation. – Javier Cuadros

40375. I think that any reporter or columnist will be a little more careful when doing interviews with me. – Mark Cuban

40376. Make sure you are the boss. I don’t think I would encourage executives that work for me to blog. There can be only 1 public vision for an organization. – Mark Cuban

40377. I think the worst thing you can do about a situation is nothing. – Ice Cube

40378. Snoop Dog is the Phil Jackson of youth football coaches. He ain’t going to accept nothing but a winner. – Ice Cube

40379. You know, there have been a lot of casualties in rock-n-roll. – Warren Cuccurullo

40380. Most of the hotel gym’s are not adequate. I mean you might be able to train your arms, but you aren’t going to be able to train legs, back, or even chest if they don’t have dumbbells and benches. – Warren Cuccurullo

40381. It’s easy to get four days a week of training in and I don’t spend more than 55-60 minutes in the gym. – Warren Cuccurullo

40382. Once you are over 30, 35 years old, I think everyone should get down to the gym and start moving again. – Warren Cuccurullo

40384. Missing Persons was based in Los Angeles. – Warren Cuccurullo

40385. Making music is fantastic. – Warren Cuccurullo

40386. You know, on the road, I never miss a meal. I eat five, six, seven times a day, depending on when I wake up and when I got to sleep. I never miss a training day. I always get my four days out of my seven. – Warren Cuccurullo

40387. But the business side of it, as with most creative things, there is no room for business. It is about art. It’s not about marketing. – Warren Cuccurullo

40388. Fortunately, I was still living in Los Angeles at the time. So I went out to World Gym and got a membership. – Warren Cuccurullo

40389. I have had shoulder injuries in the past, but usually it’s from training. – Warren Cuccurullo

40390. I love the life of a musician but I live the life of a bodybuilder. – Warren Cuccurullo

40391. I never used to drink water. I am drinking six liters of water every day now. That’s the key. – Warren Cuccurullo

40392. I thought, you know the food and the diet thing is one way to start yourself onto a healthy lifestyle, but if you don’t move, if you don’t start exercising you’re gonna deteriorate. – Warren Cuccurullo

40393. I went from 118 pounds to 135 pounds in a few months. But, I still didn’t know anything about food. – Warren Cuccurullo

40394. I would never go to a gym. How could I do it? So I tried to do it in my house and it doesn’t work. – Warren Cuccurullo

40395. I’m a product of good nutrition, cutting edge supplementation and hard training, and I’m an old guy. – Warren Cuccurullo

40396. I’m doing it by enjoying what I do in the gym, really enjoying my foods. – Warren Cuccurullo

40397. It is a career that can be enhanced or destroyed by success. – Warren Cuccurullo

40398. Plus, we spend most of our time writing music. Most of the time is spent in the studio in my house. – Warren Cuccurullo

40399. Yeah, about sixteen to twenty weeks a year. For example, we can do America in six or seven weeks. You can do Europe in three weeks; England in two weeks. South America you could do in three weeks; Asia you could do in three weeks. – Warren Cuccurullo

40400. Yeah, I came in at the end of the Notorious album, played on about five tracks and then we went on a tour. Then we did another album, Big Thing, and then we started writing songs together in 1989. – Warren Cuccurullo

40401. The health industry, the fitness industry, was really starting to pick up. This was around the mid 80’s. – Warren Cuccurullo

40820. The film is not a success until it makes money. It’s only good when there’s a dollar figure attached to the box office. – John Cusack

40821. The more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you’re putting yourself out there all the time, you’re not holding anything back. – John Cusack

40822. The reason bin Laden staggered the planes going into the towers was so every camera would be focused on the second tower when the plane hit. It was not only the murder, but the perpetual image of the horror that permeated into people’s consciousness. – John Cusack

40823. There are some good people. But a good chunk of them will lie for no reason at all – it’ll be ten o’clock and they’ll tell you it’s nine. You’re looking at the clock and you can’t even fathom why they’re lying. They just lie because that’s what they do. – John Cusack

40824. Usually I play people who just keep babbling on and on and on. – John Cusack

40825. When applied to politics and taken to its extreme, kitsch is the mask of death. Fascism was all aesthetics. There was no core principle to it. There was no truth to it. – John Cusack

40826. I was raised Catholic until I was old enough to say no. – John Cusack

40827. People try to keep their past, like kind of holding on to their past. Every Springsteen song talks about that. – John Cusack

40828. Being on a movie set is like one long financial crisis. – John Cusack

40829. Any time you stop looking at evil as a black and white thing, it’s helpful. So the fact that there won’t be any obligatory Islamic terrorist stereotypes in movies any more, that’d be helpful. – John Cusack

40830. I was never interested in being an overly public person. – John Cusack

40831. A lot of people are not meant to be together. – John Cusack

40832. Art is spiritual. – John Cusack

40833. Death is a billion-dollar business. They can’t even pass a law where it takes seven days to get a gun. Why don’t you have to go through the same kind of screening you do to get a driver’s license? It’s totally insane. – John Cusack

40834. Do I listen to pop music because I’m miserable or am I miserable because listen to pop music? – John Cusack

40835. Good actors can sort of see into people and immediately you have a chemistry with them or not. It’s like an affair with no mess. – John Cusack

40836. Hitler was so modern, in that he was obsessed with being famous. He was caught up with this rush to be have achieved greatness before turning 30. – John Cusack

40837. I guess maybe I’m idealistic. – John Cusack

40838. I have a bit of a rebellious nature. – John Cusack

40839. I like the George Romero films, which were really great, social satire movies; really twisted. – John Cusack

40840. I love these movies where it’s just about the film. You don’t have my face on the poster. It’s all about the movie. I like that. – John Cusack

40841. I was a teen star. That’s disgusting enough. – John Cusack

40842. I think good actors can sort of see into people and immediately you have a chemistry with them or not. It’s like an affair with no mess. You don’t actually consummate it, but you get to pretend, imagine what it would be like. – John Cusack

40843. I think the more you expose yourself as a celebrity, the less interesting you are to watch in your work, because if you’re putting yourself out there all the time, you’re not holding anything back. – John Cusack

40844. I feel like I’m a filmmaker; I don’t feel I need to yell action and cut. – John Cusack

40845. I think when you get to the point where you don’t need to be in love, then you could be in love. You have to just be OK with yourself-and that’s a long process. – John Cusack

40846. When we fled from the oppressions of kings and parliaments in Europe, to found this great Republic in America, we brought with us the laws and the liberties, which formed a part of our heritage as Britons. – Caleb Cushing

40847. The proceedings of this House in 1790, in reference to petitions on the matter of the slave trade, and of slavery in the States, have been cited. It has been said that those petitions were not received. – Caleb Cushing

40848. The right of petition is an old undoubted household right of the blood of England, which runs in our veins. – Caleb Cushing

40849. The right of petition, I have said, was not conferred on the People by the Constitution, but was a pre-existing right, reserved by the People out of the grants of power made to Congress. – Caleb Cushing

40850. The winged words uttered in this House have gone forth to the world, on their mission of good or of evil. – Caleb Cushing

40851. These our great natural rights we keep to ourselves; we will not have them tampered with; respecting them we give to you no commission whatsoever. – Caleb Cushing

40852. This Republic was called into being, organized, and is upheld, by a great political doctrine. – Caleb Cushing

40853. You well know, sir, that when the Constitution was submitted to the People of the respective States for their adoption or rejection, it awakened the warmest debates of the several State conventions. – Caleb Cushing

40854. We are laying the foundations of a government, which we hope may outlast the Pyramids. – Caleb Cushing

40855. The Normans came over, lance in hand, burning and trampling down every thing before them, and cutting off the Saxon dynasty and the Saxon nobles at the edge of the sword; but the right of petition remained untouched. – Caleb Cushing

40856. Men of New England, I hold you to the doctrines of liberty which ye inherit from your Puritan forefathers. – Caleb Cushing

40857. Upon the Constitution, upon the pre-existing legal rights of the People, as understood in this country and in England, I have argued that this House is bound to revive the Petition under debate. – Caleb Cushing

40858. Sir, I am a republican; and I desire to see this House observe the principles of that democracy which is ever on the lips of its members, and which, I hope, is in their hearts, as I know and feel it is in mine, and mean it shall be in my conduct. – Caleb Cushing

40859. Men of Virginia, countrymen of Washington, of Patrick Henry, of Jefferson, and of Madison, will ye be true to your constitutional faith? – Caleb Cushing

40860. It is impossible, in my mind, to distinguish between the refusal to receive a petition, or its summary rejection by some general order, and the denial of the right of petition. – Caleb Cushing

40861. If there be any plausible reason for supposing that we have the right to legislate on the slave interests of the District, you cannot put down the investigation of the subject out of doors, by refusing to receive petitions. – Caleb Cushing

40862. I maintain that the House is bound by the Constitution to receive the petitions; after which, it will take such method of deciding upon them as reason and principle shall dictate. – Caleb Cushing

40863. I declare and protest in advance, that I do not intend, at this time at least; to be drawn or driven into the question of slavery, in either of its subdivisions or forms. – Caleb Cushing

40864. Here, again, as I conceive, gentlemen forget that this government is a republican one, resting exclusively in the intelligence and virtue of the People. – Caleb Cushing

40865. Entertaining these opinions of the course to be pursued, I beg of gentlemen to look at the question, as I have done, in a calm review of facts and of principles. – Caleb Cushing

40866. Be the responsibility on their heads who raise this novel and extraordinary question of reception, going to the unconstitutional abridgment, as I conceive, of the great right of petition inherent in the People of the United States. – Caleb Cushing

40867. And if this House is to be scared, by whatever influences, from its duty, to receive and hear the petitions of the People, then I shall send my voice beyond the walls of this Capitol for redress. – Caleb Cushing

40868. Some of them, in accepting the proposed plan of government, coupled their acceptance with a recommendation of various additions to the Constitution, which they deemed essential to the preservation of the rights of the States, or of the People. – Caleb Cushing

40869. Sir, allusion has been made, in an early stage of this debate, to the history of the excitement which once pervaded a considerable part of the country, in reference to the transportation of the mails on the Lord’s day. – Caleb Cushing

40870. A physician is obligated to consider more than a diseased organ, more even than the whole man – he must view the man in his world. – Harvey Cushing

40871. The capacity of man himself is only revealed when, under stress and responsibility, he breaks through his educational shell, and he may then be a splendid surprise to himself no less than to this teachers. – Harvey Cushing

40872. Standardization of our educational systems is apt to stamp out individualism and defeat the very ends of education by leveling the product down rather than up. – Harvey Cushing

40873. In these days when science is clearly in the saddle and when our knowledge of disease is advancing at a breathless pace, we are apt to forget that not all can ride and that he also serves who waits and who applies what the horseman discovers. – Harvey Cushing

40874. I would like to see the day when somebody would be appointed surgeon somewhere who had no hands, for the operative part is the least part of the work. – Harvey Cushing

40875. I didn’t set out to make this kind of picture. It just came my way. But its been going on for me for 16 years now and its wonderful for an actor to work consistently. There seems to be an insatiable audience for this type of film. – Peter Cushing

40876. I don’t think there is really a favorite, I’m very fond of film making as a whole and as a medium and of course, there are some that I’ve enjoyed making more than others but I’ve enjoyed making all of them. – Peter Cushing

40877. I hope this doesn’t sound pompous but I don’t think of myself as famous, whatever fame I’ve got has come through what I’ve done and associations of things I’ve done. – Peter Cushing

40878. I’m always glad to be offered roles, but wouldn’t take any role as this could do you more harm than good, but I’ve been at what they call ‘on the top’ as far as being known for twenty years. – Peter Cushing

40879. You see I don’t like to be really too commercial about things but in this business you’ve just got to be commercial otherwise the films don’t make money and you don’t make films and as a long as a commodity is selling it’s silly to kill it dead. – Peter Cushing

40880. Today’s youth cannot miss something they have never known, but I fear that there are no current fictional characters whose impact and influence will last with such abiding affection into their ‘sore and yellow’ as this splendid man’s creations have in mine! – Peter Cushing

40881. There are all sorts of reasons why I don’t do much work in the theatre, the main one being that after two performances I feel I’ve given all I can. I hate repetition, I really do. It’s like asking a painter to paint he same picture every day of his life. – Peter Cushing

40882. The bishops will govern the Church, the priests will do all the work and the deacons will have all the fun. – Richard Cardinal Cushing

40883. No artist work is so high, so noble, so grand, so enduring, so important for all time, as the making of character is a child. – Charlotte Saunders Cushman

40884. When I first started writing, I was in advertising at the time, I was doing most of my writing on weekends. I had studied most of the other series heroes and I figured it would be fun for mine to be different and put him in and around water. So I dreamed up Dirk Pitt. – Clive Cussler

40885. She had the kids during the day and I would have them at night. That way they were never alone. I would put the kids to bed, and then I had nothing to do and nobody to talk to, so I would write. – Clive Cussler

40886. Sometimes my plot lines are so convoluted, I get calls from friends at 3 am saying; you SOB, you’ll never pull this one off. – Clive Cussler

40887. I appeal to you as a soldier to spare me the humiliation of seeing my regiment march to meet the enemy and I not share its dangers. – George Armstrong Custer

40888. You ask me if I will not be glad when the last battle is fought, so far as the country is concerned I, of course, must wish for peace, and will be glad when the war is ended, but if I answer for myself alone, I must say that I shall regret to see the war end. – George Armstrong Custer

40889. There are not enough Indians in the world to defeat the Seventh Cavalry. – George Armstrong Custer

40893. What annoyances are more painful than those of which we cannot complain? – Marquis De Custine

40894. Nations have always good reasons for being what they are, and the best of all is that they cannot be otherwise. – Marquis De Custine

40895. The love of their country is with them only a mode of flattering its master; as soon as they think that master can no longer hear, they speak of everything with a frankness which is the more startling because those who listen to it become responsible. – Marquis De Custine

40896. The circumstances of human society are too complicated to be submitted to the rigor of mathematical calculation. – Marquis De Custine

40897. I always felt free when I ran. I suppose that’s what was good about it. – Betty Cuthbert

40898. Everything I did that required effort, I opened my mouth. Even to catch a ball, I opened my mouth. – Betty Cuthbert

40899. My favourite event was the 200m, so as I won the 100m, I thought it was possible I’d win the 200m. – Betty Cuthbert

40900. I realised from a very early age that God gave me a gift, and that gift was to run, and I wanted to use it to the best of my ability. – Betty Cuthbert

40901. You’ve got to stick at a thing, a particular thing, until you succeed.I feel that’s the only way to succeed – by concentrating on something in particular. Once you know what you’ve got to do you will succeed, you will succeed. – Betty Cuthbert

40902. My salvation was a free gift. I didn’t have to work for it and it’s better than any gold medal that I’ve ever won. – Betty Cuthbert

40903. No way did I ever think I was going to win the 100m. – Betty Cuthbert

40904. My parents always encouraged me and I had a good home life. We were always taught to respect things and other people. It’s so different today, because children are just not taught the right way. – Betty Cuthbert

40905. The integral part of being a star is having the will to win. All the champions have it. – Betty Cuthbert

40906. I don’t ever want to be doing the same sort of thing, I never want to be typecast, because I have way too much to give to be sort of, to always be the hot chick in the movie. – Elisha Cuthbert

40907. I know, it was a little bit out of control, but hey. It was all fun. – Elisha Cuthbert

40908. In real life, people are constantly saying one thing and doing another, but if you write your characters that way, the story becomes too hard to follow. – Jessica Cutler

40909. It’s amazing to me that people have any interest in such a low-level sex scandal. If I were sleeping with a congressman, maybe, but I’m a nobody and the people I’m writing about are nobodies. – Jessica Cutler

40910. New York is where you go to catch a big fish. – Jessica Cutler

40911. Normal people have sex lives of their own to worry about. – Jessica Cutler

40912. There’s no point in living in an alternate reality. – Jessica Cutler

40913. They’ll totally hire me if I say I got fired from my job on the Hill because of a sex scandal. – Jessica Cutler

40914. I always feel like I’m missing out on something, that someone is having more fun than I am, so I take measures to make sure that is impossible. – Jessica Cutler

40915. I always regarded people who want fame with a lot of suspicion. Unless you have a product to sell, I don’t know why anyone would want to be famous. I can’t imagine what need that would fill. – Jessica Cutler

40916. If you don’t like or care about your job, what’s the big deal? I am so over it. – Jessica Cutler

40917. If you’re still in a bar when the lights go on, you are a loser. – Jessica Cutler

40918. And we made decisions on each of those matters which were ultimately upheld by the courts. – Lloyd Cutler

40919. The whole thing was done for internal political reasons to galvanize and unify the country against the Americans, and if they hadn’t had that immediate opportunity they would have found another one. – Lloyd Cutler

40920. Later in that administration, I was asked to take a job which I had to turn down as Assistant Secretary of State for Economic Affairs because we were just then putting together the merger of two small law firms that became this law firm. I couldn’t leave them at that point. – Lloyd Cutler

40921. In the end, the Foreign Ministry had no power at all to do anything. – Lloyd Cutler

40922. I think the President himself is a remarkably intelligent, decent, ethical man. I think he did very well, but I think the job builds up over expectations which all candidates contribute to including this President that simply cannot be fulfilled. – Lloyd Cutler

40923. Certainly the existence of these huge nuclear force was important for the ultimate confrontation, let’s say, over western Europe. You just can’t use them to deal with a situation like Afghanistan. – Lloyd Cutler

40924. I learned running the government for the Presidency, which I always thought was difficult, is even more difficult than I thought. – Lloyd Cutler

40925. It’s the duty of a lawyer to represent anyone for whom a responsible argument could be made. – Lloyd Norton Cutler

40926. The appearance of the bones of quadrupeds, especially those of complete bodies in the strata, tells us either that the layer itself which carries them was in earlier times dry land or that dry land was at least formed in the immediate area. – George Cuvier

40927. Hence the same instant which killed the animals froze the country where they lived. This event was sudden, instantaneous, without any gradual development. – George Cuvier

40928. Thus it cannot be denied that the masses which today form our highest mountains were originally in a liquid state; for a long time they were covered by waters which did not sustain any life. – George Cuvier

40929. The traces of upheavals become more impressive when one moves a little higher, when one gets even closer to the foot of the great mountain ranges. There are still plenty of shell layers. We notice them, even thicker and more solid ones. – George Cuvier

40930. The older the layers, the more each of them is uniform over a great extent; the newer the layers, the more they are limited and subject to variation within small distances. – George Cuvier

40931. The lowest and most level land areas show us, especially when we dig there to very great depths, nothing but horizontal layers of material more or less varied, which almost all contain innumerable products of the sea. – George Cuvier

40932. Moreover, it thus follows that not a great deal of time was needed for the large animals of the three major parts of the world to become known to the people who spent time on the coasts of those regions. – George Cuvier

40933. But the revolutions and changes which are responsible for the present state of the earth are not limited to the upsetting of the ancient strata and to the ebbing of the sea after the formations of new layers. – George Cuvier

40934. Secondly, the nature of the revolutions which have altered the surface of the earth must have had a more decisive effect on the terrestrial quadrupeds than on the marine animals. – George Cuvier

40935. My object will be, first, to show by what connections the history of the fossil bones of land animals is linked to the theory of the earth and why they have a particular importance in this respect. – George Cuvier

40936. It is evident that one cannot say anything demonstrable about the problem before having resolved these preliminary questions, and yet we hardly possess the necessary information to solve some of them. – Georges Cuvier

40937. Why has not anyone seen that fossils alone gave birth to a theory about the formation of the earth, that without them, no one would have ever dreamed that there were successive epochs in the formation of the globe. – Georges Cuvier

40938. Each person has their own calling on this Earth. – Billy Ray Cyrus

40939. The people at the record company had asked me if I could write a song about my life, my relationship with God, and where I’m from. Well, I can’t write a song on purpose, my songs come in a moment of inspiration or desperation. – Billy Ray Cyrus

40940. My grandfather was a Pentecostal preacher. – Billy Ray Cyrus

40941. I don’t think there’s any accidents in my life. – Billy Ray Cyrus

40942. I always prayed that God would give me the wisdom and the vision to do the things on this earth that I was supposed to do to express His life and love and His will. – Billy Ray Cyrus

40943. A lot of people think Christianity is about always being perfect. It’s actually the opposite of that. It’s realizing that we’re all humans, and that’s why God sent his Son to this earth – to save people. – Billy Ray Cyrus

40944. Well, I’ve never left my faith – but have I made a lot of mistakes? But was I fortunate that I was brought up in that Pentecostal church, where I heard about God’s love and God’s forgiveness. – Billy Ray Cyrus

40945. I am and always will be a sinner. But that’s the beautiful thing about Jesus. I’ll always try to be a better person in the eyes of God. But I’m not all of a sudden stepping up on a pedestal and saying I’m holier than thou, ’cause I’m not! – Billy Ray Cyrus

40946. I come from this really small town near Nashville, Tennessee, where everything was la-di-da and normal. – Miley Cyrus

40947. I have four shelves covered with journals that I’ve written. Dad and I are writing songs together. I’ve probably written 100 songs. – Miley Cyrus

40948. I get more anxious than nervous before a concert. – Miley Cyrus

40949. I don’t want to be perfect, but I do want to be a role model. My mom always tells me that imperfections equal beauty. All of us are imperfect. – Miley Cyrus

40950. I am not very good at keeping secrets at all! If you want your secret kept do not tell me! – Miley Cyrus

40951. As soon as I step on that stage, nothing matters. I don’t think of it as work. It’s just so much fun. – Miley Cyrus

40952. I am so excited to let fans in on how important my relationship with my family is to me. I hope to motivate mothers and daughters to build lifetimes of memories together and inspire kids around the world to live their dreams. – Miley Cyrus

40953. I am fully committed to Hannah Montana. It’s what gave me this amazing opportunity to reach out to so many people. I’m really excited about our new season. We are making great new episodes that I can’t wait for our fans to see and I’m looking forward to the “Hannah Montana” movie that will be out in the spring. – Miley Cyrus

40954. Life is all about having a good time. – Miley Cyrus

40955. You can’t live a positive life with a negative mind and if you have a positive outcome you have a positive income and just to have more positivity and just to kind of laugh it off. – Miley Cyrus

40956. With yourself, I think you have to decide the kind of person that you really want to be, and for me, it’s just a sweet girl. – Miley Cyrus

40957. There’s nothing more fun than being out on stage and getting the vibe from the crowd. There’s nothing like being on a set where you are there to make other people happy and to make them laugh. That’s the best job in the world. – Miley Cyrus

40958. The only people that you really have, that I learned, are your family, because they love you no matter what. – Miley Cyrus

40959. The best part of my carreer is getting to meet so many different people, because I learn so much from everyone. – Miley Cyrus

40960. Pink isn’t just a color, it’s an attitude! – Miley Cyrus

40961. My mom is always telling me it takes a long time to get to the top, but a short time to get to the bottom. – Miley Cyrus

40962. My favourite sport is cheerleading! – Miley Cyrus

40963. You don’t have to go out and party every night. You can act because it’s your dream. – Miley Cyrus

40964. Music is what I breath, what I love to do. It keeps me alive. – Miley Cyrus

40965. When preparing for a concert, I do lots of training. I work with a choreographer to create great moves and then I have to keep my voice strong with lessons. – Miley Cyrus

40966. If you believe in yourself anything is possible. – Miley Cyrus

40967. If I could get any animal it would be a dolphin. I want one so bad. Me and my mom went swimming with dolphins and I was like, ‘How do we get one of those?’ and she was like, ‘You can’t get a dolphin. What are you gonna do, like, put it in your pool?’ – Miley Cyrus

40968. I’ve got high standards when it comes to boys. As my dad says, all girls should! I’m from the South – Tennessee, to be exact – and down there, we’re all about southern hospitality. I know that if I like a guy, he better be nice, and above all, my dad has to approve of him! – Miley Cyrus

40969. I’m pretty outspoken. – Miley Cyrus

40970. I told my mom, ‘I’m not buying another magazine until I can get past this thought of looking like the girl on the cover’. She said, “Miley, you are the girl on the cover,’ and I was, like, ‘I know, but I don’t feel like that girl every day.’ You can’t always feel perfect. – Miley Cyrus

40971. I think my dad is a lot cooler than other dads. He still acts like he’s still 17. – Miley Cyrus

40972. I think Hannah gets nervous just like any other person would. She’s like a dork, personally. She’s just really, really fun. – Miley Cyrus

40973. I probably have an earlier curfew than anyone. My mom wants to keep me really safe and my dad’s not overly protective, but he’s a dad no matter what. – Miley Cyrus

40974. I need more friends. It’s kind of like my quest right now just to have more true friends. – Miley Cyrus

40975. I love to sleep. I’d sleep all day if I could. – Miley Cyrus

40976. My dad says I could sing before I could talk, if that’s possible. I was always humming and things like that. – Miley Cyrus

40977. There are so many people that have come up to me during our shows and tell me: “The hour that we are watching your show is the hour that my kids are happiest and are smiling, they are laughing,” and that is what I long to do. – Miley Cyrus

40978. I killed the President because he was the enemy of the good people, the good working people. – Leon Czolgosz

40979. I am sorry I could not see my father. – Leon Czolgosz

40980. I am not sorry for my crime. – Leon Czolgosz

40981. Of course voting is useful. But then again, I don’t put a big glow to it. Voting is about as essential as washing yourself. It’s something you’re supposed to do. Now, you can’t go around bragging, expecting to get props because you voted. That’s stupid. – Chuck D.

40982. I’d rather have a hundred thousand or a million people saying I’m nuts and I’m crazy for my musical choices and what I’ve said lyrically, than a million people all raising their hand on the first day. – Chuck D.

40983. I think right about now we have to beware of marketed Malcolms and Martins. Real people do real things. – Chuck D.

40984. I think governments are the cancer of civilization. – Chuck D.

40985. There are too many leaders anointed because they have a public voice – television, radio, or record, or whatever. That even includes myself. In the past, I’d say, ‘Don’t anoint me when you can anoint yourself.’ – Chuck D.

40986. We don’t see the people who are doing real things getting enough props. We often see politicians who are everywhere but nowhere at the same goddamn time. You know the kind of person: You see them everywhere on television but nowhere in front of your face. – Chuck D.

40987. You have to wait for people to program you. The only difference is the amount of people that you’re going to reach but that’s going to even out in the next two or three years anyway. Computers are being bought faster than televisions right now. – Chuck D.

40988. A lot of times black folks look for love in all the wrong places. You’re always looking for somebody to love you, be accepted, and there’s the insecurities that are even transmitted through rap. Everyone is trying to aim to please too much. – Chuck D.

40989. Then come the wild weather, come sleet or come snow, we will stand by each other, however it blow. – Simon Dach

40990. I have had fans make me the big picture collages of the photo books; I have had fans send me birthday cakes… sing to me on my voicemail. I have had fans flash me. I have had older fans give me their bras and underwear onstage. – Puff Daddy

40991. I’ve got to take a break, to be honest. I’m not even going to lie. – Puff Daddy

40992. Bad Boy Entertainment did not shoot anybody. I didn’t shoot anybody. – Puff Daddy

40993. Don’t get yourself in certain circumstances or instances, because it’s not a good feeling to be sitting in that chair where you’ve got 12 people that are in control of your life. You have an opportunity to be in control of your life for yourself by the decisions that you make. – Puff Daddy
