My creed is that public service must be more than doing a job efficiently and honestly. It must be a complete dedication to the people and to the nation with full recognition that every human being is entitled to courtesy and consideration, that constructive criticism is not only to be expected but sought, that smears are not only to be expected but fought, that honor is to be earned, not bought.

Margaret Chase Smith (1897-1995)

Margaret Chase Smith

We only see the oppressive side of authority. Maybe it comes out of our history and our background. What we don't see is that freedom is not a concept in which people can do anything they want, be anything they can be. Freedom is about authority. Freedom is about the willingness of every single human being to cede to lawful authority a great deal of discretion about what you do and how you do it.

Rudolph W. Giuliani (1944-)

If I were just curious, it would be very hard to say to someone, ''I want to come to your house and have you talk to me and tell me the story of your life.'' I mean people are going to say, ''You're crazy.'' Plus they're going to keep mighty guarded. But the camera is a kind of license. A lot of people, they want to be paid that much attention and that's a reasonable kind of attention to be paid.

Diane Arbus (1923-1971)

Diane Arbus

Do not dismayed daughters, at the number of things which you have to consider before setting out on this divine journey, which is the royal road to heaven. By taking this road we gain such precious treasures that it is no wonder if the cost seems to us a high one. The time will come when we shall realize that all we have paid has been nothing at all by comparison with the greatness of our prizes.

St. Teresa of Avila (1515-1582)

St. Teresa of Avila

It's like a preparation for war. It literally is. We're conditioned as athletes to recognize the culmination of our season. Here it is. You have to change your attitude as you go into the playoffs, change your mentality, change how you go about every day. As a player, you basically have to extend yourself past your normal boundaries, because once you're done, you're done. You see the finish line.

[Dr. Alan Clark, a practicing ophthalmologist at Marion Oaks Optical, uses his eyes for something besides examining the retina and other eye parts. Clark is a long-time history buff. He became involved in Civil War reenactments. He participated in performances all over the Southeastern United States.] I also did reenactments for movies, ... We were on sets for 'Glory', the 'Alamo', and 'Rambo 3'.

Alan Clark (1952-)

It's like going to the courthouse and picking out 50 marriage certificates and spreading them out and saying who is going to be married 40 years from now. There are so many factors that come into play. How is a player going to mature? Is he going to have a drug problem in a couple of years? There are so many ways for a kid to go sideways, and sometimes it has nothing to do with anything negative.

CARTESIAN, adj. Relating to Descartes, a famous philosopher, author of the celebrated dictum, _Cogito ergo sum_ --whereby he was pleased to suppose he demonstrated the reality of human existence. The dictum might be improved, however, thus: _Cogito cogito ergo cogito sum_ --
"I think that I think, therefore I think that I am;" as close an approach to certainty as any philosopher has yet made.

Ambrose Bierce (1842-1914)

Ambrose Bierce

ELEGY, n. A composition in verse, in which, without employing any of the methods of humor, the writer aims to produce in the reader's mind the dampest kind of dejection. The most famous English example begins somewhat like this:

The cur foretells the knell of parting day; The loafing herd winds slowly o'er the lea; The wise man homeward plods; I only stay To fiddle-faddle in a minor key.

Signing on a respected, Oscar winning actor like Lou is a clear indicator of the new direction we seek to take with Christian film. And collaborating with the creative team at Sony has provided a different level of expertise in everything from casting, the script, the visual effects and the overall 'feature film feel' this project will have. Yet, the core Gospel message remains squarely in place.

Andre Van Heerden

Charles is a results-driven leader with an exceptional track-record of performance, and we are very pleased that he is joining Avon in this important leadership position. His proven expertise in Latin America, coupled with his experience working with four major global consumer companies, will be important assets as we implement our growth strategies in our large and dynamic Latin American region.

I try to please people, to give them a good time, but I refuse to make my act conform to traditional show-biz standards of entertainment. There's a little voice that says, 'Oh, no, you can't do that, that's breaking all the rules.' That's the voice of show business. Then this other little voice says, 'Try it.' And most of the time, when the voice comes on and says, 'No,' that's the time it works.

Andy Kaufman (1949-1984)

It's not anything I can't overcome. I think in the preseason I made a couple of mistakes here and there that normally I wouldn't have made if I had played a little more. It's not anything I can't overcome; it's not anything that will be too detrimental to our success. Being able to take the snaps with the [starters] and getting the game-time preparation, obviously it's going to help me out a lot.

[The spat became public Wednesday when Schwarzenegger, speaking in Anaheim, acknowledged that he wished Bush had postponed his trip.] We would have appreciated if he would have done his fundraising after the Nov. 8 election, because you know we need now all the money in the world, ... We want to make sure that we win, that we can have our TV spots out there on television, which is very important.

Arnold Schwarzenegger (1947-)

Arnold Schwarzenegger

THE Lord has to take the Form that is suitable for the task He has to fulfill. To catch a gang of decadents, the Police Officer has to move among them as a decadent. That is why the Human Form has been taken. But who, challenged with impurity by their own wives, dare challenge the Avatar and ask for proof! Of course, if you desire to understand, you are welcome; be near, watch, learn and believe.
