95474. Newspaper men, perhaps more than any other class, are rated by ability. – Franklin Knight Lane
95475. No man should have a political office because he wants a job. – Franklin Knight Lane
95476. Well, I – all cases to me have interest. Every case is important to somebody, the people litigating that case.

95477. Well, I don’t think prisons are the answer to everything, obviously. – Judge Mills Lane

95483. I have great faith in the jury system. – Judge Mills Lane
95484. Every unfortunate event does not give rise to lawsuit. – Judge Mills Lane

95486. And some people, you’ve got to lock up. If you don’t, they’re going to hurt you. – Judge Mills Lane
95487. And so they pitched the show to me. It sounded like a good idea. We pitched the show back, and got it sold and got it on the air. And that’s kicking the tail. – Judge Mills Lane
95488. Well, I think every now and again, some people deserve to get their butts chewed. Every now and again some people deserve a pat on the back. What I try and do is compliment folk who deserve a compliment, and chew folks out who deserve to be chewed out. – Judge Mills Lane

95497. People always think I’m Jewish and changed my last name from Rabinowitz. – Nathan Lane
95498. Look, I’m 40, I’m single, and I work in musical theater – you do the math! – Nathan Lane
95499. People think they know who I am, because I’ve played so many very, very out gay men on stage, and they think that’s me. – Nathan Lane
95500. Sure I think it is healthy to speak the truth, and be who you are, and be proud of that. – Nathan Lane
95501. There are some people that the press like to pick on and not just the gay press, but the press in general. And some people, the press just doesn’t care about at all. – Nathan Lane

95503. The need for Government is the need for force; where force is unnecessary, there is no need for Government. – Rose Wilder Lane

95505. I came out of the Soviet Union no longer a communist, because I believed in personal freedom. – Rose Wilder Lane

95515. When I began my career, I was constantly referred to as the kid who could play the blues. – Jonny Lang
95516. Yeah, touring can get rough some times and draining, but I always have to pinch myself and realize that I’m doing what I love. – Jonny Lang
95517. My dad was good friends with the Bad Medicine Blues Band – one of the only blues bands in Fargo, as you can imagine! He took me out to see them play when I was 12 years old and I was really inspired by their guitar player, Ted Larsen. – Jonny Lang
95518. I’m not a fast, stream-of-consciousness lyricist at all – I know some guys who are, and if there is one skill I wish I had, it’s that. – Jonny Lang
95519. I think the people at my record label know I’m a Christian and again, I’ve been really blessed that I’ve never had to get into a head-butt war over moral standards or anything like that. – Jonny Lang

95523. You have to respect your audience. Without them, you’re essentially standing alone, singing to yourself. – K. D. Lang
95524. If you knew how meat was made, you’d probably lose your lunch. – K. D. Lang
95525. To address questions of scientific responsibility does not necessarily imply that one needs technical competence in a particular field (e.g. biology) to evaluate certain technical matters. – Serge Lang
95526. What standards are upheld by the scientific community affect the community internally, and also affect its relations with society at large, including Congress. – Serge Lang
95527. Questions have also arisen about AIDS being transmitted to hemophiliacs via blood transfusions. – Serge Lang
95528. They cannot count on the press and they cannot count on Congressional committees to bring the problems of the scientific community to their own attention, or to police the scientific community. – Serge Lang
95529. There exist thousands of Americans who have AIDS-defining diseases but are HIV negative. – Serge Lang
95530. Roughly speaking, this hypothesis asks whether drug use causes some of the diseases officially associated with AIDS, such as immunodeficiency and Kaposi’s sarcoma. – Serge Lang
95531. Questions have arisen about the policing of science. Who is responsible for the policing? My answer is: all of us. – Serge Lang
95532. Of course, there are diseases of which people die. – Serge Lang
95533. Of course, screening for HIV did essentially eliminate the transmission of this virus by transfusions. – Serge Lang
95534. If Baltimore’s view, that scientists who do not take the words of authorities are far removed from the ordinary behavior of scientists, prevails in the scientific community, then something fundamental, very serious, and very disturbing is happening to the scientific community. – Serge Lang
95535. I object to a legal approach when settling questions of science or scientific behavior. – Serge Lang
95536. Aside from all that, we recall that antibodies to malaria and other diseases prevalent in Africa show up as HIV-positive on tests. – Serge Lang
95537. I am not here concerned with intent, but with scientific standards, especially the ability to tell the difference between a fact, an opinion, a hypothesis, and a hole in the ground. – Serge Lang
95538. Originally, in the early eighties, the drug hypothesis was among the first which occurred to scientists. – Serge Lang
95539. No writer of a portion of the Bible was perfect. It was the direct and miraculous operation of the Holy Spirit that what they wrote is without mistake. – Walter Lang
95540. Neither does man have gills for living in a water environment; yet it is not sinful to explore the depths of the oceans in search of food or other blessings. – Walter Lang
95541. Scripture suggests that the elements in space were created for the benefit of earth, while evolution suggests that earth is an insignificant speck in vast space. – Walter Lang
95542. Time is not eternal but was created by God at the beginning. – Walter Lang
95543. Thus, races arose from an original coding which God pulled out as needed for adaptation to the environment. – Walter Lang
95544. This solution may not appeal to our human pride, but the problem is that our human pride in itself is sinful. – Walter Lang
95545. Therefore, sins of sex are punished in this life to a greater degree than some other sins. – Walter Lang
95546. There are also scientific problems with the concept that each of the creation days was a long period of time. – Walter Lang
95547. The Moon and Mars were the two most likely candidates for life in the solar system; what exists beyond our solar system is mere guesswork. – Walter Lang

95549. We agree that man was not created to survive in space. – Walter Lang
95550. Science is defined in various ways, but today it is generally restricted to something which is experimental, which is repeatable, which can be predicted, and which is falsifiable. – Walter Lang
95551. With our knowledge of modern-day genetics, we realize that it was possible for God to place the potential for all people throughout history into the genes of Adam and Eve when He created them. – Walter Lang
95552. Language expresses people’s thinking and it was by a Word that God created the world and preserves it. – Walter Lang
95553. It seems we will continue to have problems with this classification and it may be because it comes under the heading of creation rather than preservation. – Walter Lang
95554. In the beginning of the human race there was no genetic load which would cause undesirable traits such as appear in offspring of marriages between relatives today. – Walter Lang
95555. In Christ the original image of God is restored, by faith in this world and by sight in the world to come. – Walter Lang
95556. If we knew exactly what animal life was like before the fall into sin and knew what nature was like before the law of entropy invaded it, we would already be living in heaven. – Walter Lang
95557. If leaders in the space program had at its beginning in the 1940s, pointed out the benefits to people on earth rather than emphasizing the search for proof of evolution in space, the program would have saved $100 billion in tax money and achieved greater results. – Walter Lang
95558. God has stated in clear and concise language how He created the universe and we ought not to doubt His Word. – Walter Lang
95559. Following the creation concept that creation processes differed from preservation processes, it is suggested that God endowed each created kind, at the time of its creation, with potential for vast variety. – Walter Lang
95560. Essentially this promise before curse, this superiority of God’s love in Christ, must come from the Bible. – Walter Lang
95561. Sex is not sinful, but sin has perverted it. – Walter Lang
95562. Time was God’s first creation. – Walter Lang
95563. Angels possess greater powers than do human beings. – Walter Lang
95564. Essential to the theory of evolution is the premise that everything has come into being by itself. – Walter Lang
95565. But, when Scripture makes a clear distinction between the act of creation and the process of preservation, we cannot accept the idea of a progressive creation process. – Walter Lang
95566. Any concept of one person being superior to another can lead to racism. – Walter Lang
95567. Accordingly, one race is neither superior nor inferior to another. – Walter Lang
95568. A creationist can embarrass an evolutionist by asking for a definition of species. – Walter Lang
95569. Being made in the image of God, man was the crown of creation. – Walter Lang
95570. As both a fine artist and a graphic designer, I specialize in the visual presentation of words. – John Langdon
95571. If you were to climb up on your desk, walk around behind your monitor and lean way over so you could see the screen, you’d be able to read “Wordplay” just as easily as you could sitting in your chair. – John Langdon
95572. Language, philosophy, and science are interwoven into the design of words, which are manipulated to create surprising illusions. – John Langdon
95573. I am not the easiest guy to live with. It is probably the lack of stability in my life. – Artie Lange
95574. When I got on Stern I realized that this was the one job where you could be really honest and open, almost like Richard Pryor or something. You can be honest about your life and get laughs. – Artie Lange
95575. When I black out, it’s the happiest time of my life. – Artie Lange
95576. Vegas means comedy, tragedy, happiness and sadness all at the same time. – Artie Lange
95577. The regular guy still relates to him and Howard is a $500 million guy now who dates a model and drives about in a limo all day. But Howard still knows how to make a plumber laugh and those guys still have him on in the morning, because he is a real talent. – Artie Lange
95578. The point of drinking in moderation is that sometimes you don’t drink in moderation. – Artie Lange
95579. Of course in show business there are two ways to play it and I am not politically correct so I am not going to get endorsements or anything like that. – Artie Lange
95580. It is funny because the guy who is my boss now, Howard Stern, has a similarity there. He got big being a regular guy. He wasn’t the greatest looking guy in the world. – Artie Lange
95581. I’m not going to lie to you fellas, I’ve been drinking. – Artie Lange
95582. I was at Yankee Stadium one time at 5 a.m., but that was to buy angel dust. – Artie Lange
95583. I have been in a lot of movies, but none of them are critics’ darlings, you might say. – Artie Lange
95584. Whiskey will always be a part of my life. – Artie Lange
95585. Have you ever Googled yourself? I did, most depressing thing ever. People have websites hoping I die at 38. – Artie Lange
95586. Everytime I go to Vegas, I seem to incur some kind of fine. – Artie Lange
95587. By the time I am Howard’s age I hope to be long retired. I don’t plan on working that long. – Artie Lange
95588. Artie is going to do what ever Artie wants to do. – Artie Lange
95589. And now it looks like I’m probably going to shoot a movie that I wrote. I got the money to do it, and I would star and all, because of being on Howard. – Artie Lange
95590. A weekend in Vegas without gambling and drinking is just like being a born-again Christian. – Artie Lange
95591. History shows us that other highly developed forms of civilization have collapsed. Who knows whether the same fate does not await our own? – Christian Lous Lange
95592. The simultaneous reactions elicited all over the world by the reading of newspaper dispatches about the same events create, as it were, a common mental pulse beat for the whole of civilized mankind. – Christian Lous Lange
95593. No state is free from militarism, which is inherent in the very concept of the sovereign state. There are merely differences of degree in the militarism of states. – Christian Lous Lange
95594. Only recently, during the nineteenth century, and then only in Europe, do we meet forms of the state which have been created by a deliberate national feeling. – Christian Lous Lange
95595. Propaganda must appeal to mankind’s better judgment and to the necessary belief in a better future. For this belief, the valley of the shadow of death is but a war station on the road to the blessed summit. – Christian Lous Lange
95596. Technology is a useful servant but a dangerous master. – Christian Lous Lange
95597. The free trade movement in the middle of the last century represents the first conscious recognition of these new circumstances and of the necessity to adapt to them. – Christian Lous Lange
95598. The growth of means of transport has created a world market and an opportunity for division of labor embracing all the developed and most of the undeveloped states. – Christian Lous Lange
95599. Modern techniques have torn down state frontiers, both economical and intellectual. The growth of means of transport has created a world market and an opportunity for division of labor embracing all the developed and most of the undeveloped states. – Christian Lous Lange
95600. The main concept is that of an international solidarity expressed in practice through worldwide division of labor: free trade is the principal point in the program of internationalism. – Christian Lous Lange
95601. Moreover, if the territorial state is to continue as the last word in the development of society, then war is inevitable. – Christian Lous Lange
95602. The sovereign state has in our times become a lethal danger to human civilization because technical developments enable it to employ an infinite number and variety of means of destruction. – Christian Lous Lange
95603. The territorial state is such an ancient form of society – here in Europe it dates back thousands of years – that it is now protected by the sanctity of age and the glory of tradition. A strong religious feeling mingles with the respect and the devotion to the fatherland. – Christian Lous Lange
95604. The theoretically unrestricted right to develop power, to wage war against other states, is antisocial and is doubly dangerous, because the state as a mass entity represents a low moral and intellectual level. – Christian Lous Lange
95605. Today we stand on a bridge leading from the territorial state to the world community. Politically, we are still governed by the concept of the territorial state; economically and technically, we live under the auspices of worldwide communications and worldwide markets. – Christian Lous Lange
95606. Upon the union of the male germ cell with the female egg cell, a new cell is created which almost immediately splits into two parts. One of these grows rapidly, creating the human body of the individual with all its organs, and dies only with the individual. – Christian Lous Lange
95607. Within each such social group, a feeling of solidarity prevails, a compelling need to work together and a joy in doing so that represent a high moral value. – Christian Lous Lange

95609. The idea of eternity lives in all of us. We thirst to live in a belief which raises our small personality to a higher coherence – a coherence which is human and yet superhuman, absolute and yet steadily growing and developing, ideal and yet real. – Christian Lous Lange
95610. Hand in hand with nationalist economic isolationism, militarism struggles to maintain the sovereign state against the forward march of internationalism. – Christian Lous Lange
95611. A pacifist will often – at least nowadays – be an internationalist and vice versa. But history shows us that a pacifist need not think internationally. – Christian Lous Lange
95612. All species capable of grasping this fact manage better in the struggle for existence than those which rely upon their own strength alone: the wolf, which hunts in a pack, has a greater chance of survival than the lion, which hunts alone. – Christian Lous Lange
95613. But teleological considerations can lead no further than to a belief and a hope. They do not give certainty. – Christian Lous Lange
95614. Concord, solidarity, and mutual help are the most important means of enabling animal species to survive. – Christian Lous Lange
95615. Earlier ages fortified themselves behind the sovereign state, behind protectionism and militarism. – Christian Lous Lange
95616. Europe cannot survive another world war. – Christian Lous Lange
95617. On the contrary. Internationalism also recognizes, by its very name, that nations do exist. It simply limits their scope more than one-sided nationalism does. – Christian Lous Lange
95618. For the state by its nature claims sovereignty, the right to an unlimited development of power, determined only by self-interest. It is by nature anarchistic. – Christian Lous Lange
95619. Militarism is basically a way of thinking, a certain interpretation of the function of the state; this manner of thinking is, moreover, revealed by its outer forms: by armaments and state organization. – Christian Lous Lange
95620. In particular, the efforts to reestablish peace after the World War have been directed toward the formation of states and the regulation of their frontiers according to a consciously national program. – Christian Lous Lange
95621. Internationalism is a social and political theory, a certain concept of how human society ought to be organized, and in particular a concept of how the nations ought to organize their mutual relations. – Christian Lous Lange
95622. Internationalism on the other hand admits that spiritual achievements have their roots deep in national life; from this national consciousness art and literature derive their character and strength and on it even many of the humanistic sciences are firmly based. – Christian Lous Lange
95623. It is against this concept of the sovereign state, a state isolated by protectionism and militarism, that internationalism must now engage in decisive battle. – Christian Lous Lange
95624. It is an accepted commonplace in psychology that the spiritual level of people acting as a crowd is far lower than the mean of each individual’s intelligence or morality. – Christian Lous Lange
95625. It is characteristic that this should take place just when it is becoming more and more clear to all who think about the matter, that technically and economically we have left the territorial state behind us. – Christian Lous Lange
95626. Just as characteristic, perhaps, is the intellectual interdependence created through the development of the modern media of communication: post, telegraph, telephone, and popular press. – Christian Lous Lange
95627. Like all social theories, internationalism must seek its basis in the economic and technical fields; here are to be found the most profound and the most decisive factors in the development of society. – Christian Lous Lange
95628. Every time economic and technical development takes a step forward, forces emerge which attempt to create political forms for what, on the economic-technical plane, has already more or less become reality. – Christian Lous Lange
95629. One should really use the camera as though tomorrow you’d be stricken blind. – Dorothea Lange
95630. Photography takes an instant out of time, altering life by holding it still. – Dorothea Lange
95631. Pick a theme and work it to exhaustion… the subject must be something you truly love or truly hate. – Dorothea Lange
95632. While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. – Dorothea Lange
95633. The camera is an instrument that teaches people how to see without a camera. – Dorthea Lange
95634. Where there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see. – Dorthea Lange
95635. I’ve got nothing left to lose at this point. The work I’ve done is out there. – Jessica Lange
95636. Acceptance and tolerance and forgiveness, those are life-altering lessons. – Jessica Lange
95637. The only place I’ve felt was really my home is my cabin up north. There’s something in the water there that connects me to that place. There’s also this sense of isolation and loneliness about it that I’ve never been able to shake. – Jessica Lange
95638. The natural state of motherhood is unselfishness. When you become a mother, you are no longer the center of your own universe. You relinquish that position to your children. – Jessica Lange
95639. Successful model? That’s a myth. The year I modeled was the most painful year of my life. Editors would always talk to you in the third person as though you were merely a piece of merchandise. – Jessica Lange
95640. Sometimes the odds are against you-the director doesn’t know what the hell he’s doing, or something falls apart in the production, or you’re working with an actor who’s just unbearable. – Jessica Lange
95641. Sometimes parts just come along when it’s the perfect time for you to do them. – Jessica Lange
95642. One of the things I love about acting is that it reveals a certain something about yourself, but it doesn’t reveal your own personal story. – Jessica Lange
95643. It was easier to do Shakespeare than a lot of modern movie scripts that are so poorly written. – Jessica Lange
95644. There are no explanations, there are no answers. – Jessica Lange
95645. In families there is always the mythology. My father died when my kids were quite young still, and yet they still tell his stories. That is how a person lives on. – Jessica Lange
95646. There was that feminist myth that we can do everything. I don’t think you can. – Jessica Lange
95647. I’ve been thinking a lot about next year, which will be the first time in 25 years that I don’t have a child at home. – Jessica Lange
95648. I worked on my voice for Sweet Dreams, but only to match my speaking voice to Patsy’s actual singing voice. That was my way into that character. – Jessica Lange
