It's like being in ordsprog
 It's like being in a Third World country. We're trying to work without power. Everyone knows we're all in this together. We're just trying to stay alive. |
| These guys have no track record as politicians. They need to be judged by their acts and not by their words. Many officers have taken power saying they're going to leave power very soon. They say they'll just stay in power 'til we clean things up,' and they often stay much longer. |
| The truth of this tragedy is that we have pockets of poverty in the most powerful and affluent nation in the world. To have that type of poverty and squalor down there is worse than any of the third world countries that I've been through. What God has done is exposed us. He exposed a third world country within our country. Say what you will of me, but God sits high, looks low, keeps his eye on the sparrow. He has shown us that we have so much money and so much power to go around the world and solve other peoples' problems but we can't solve our own problems. God has brought that all out tonight. |
| At one point in this course or another, if you can't find a book that you will care about forever, then you're not fully alive -- so get fully alive. We need to be a more thoughtful culture, but we also need to be a more emotionally expressive culture. A lot of what motivates the two of us, I know it motivates me, is just this idea that the power of precise thinking goes along with the power of deep feeling. |
| That keeps us alive. Otherwise, we're probably dead. It's pretty simple. It's just like anybody. We'd like to stay alive a little longer. |
| It's the one thing that differentiates us from every other faction of the industry. We're willing to go in and work together. You have the power of four or five acts versus the power of one. This year is just slammed with [country] traffic, so to go in as a group and sell tickets is a heck of a lot more persuasive than one at a time. |
| Our job is to reinvent the way that we connect with consumers. We have to make sure we stay in their world, stay connected, stay relevant, and, more importantly, we allow them to do what they want. It's their world, their lives. We give them the tools. |
| On Sept. 10 there was pain and suffering of a world manifested by power. There is nothing special about Sept. 11; there is nothing special about our pain in this country. It mattered no more or no less than the pain and suffering of the rest of the world that day. We cannot contribute to the lives lost by innocent civilians because of a corruption of power. |
| Our work has only begun. In our time we have an historic opportunity to shape a global balance of power that favors freedom and that will therefore deepen and extend the peace. And I use the word power broadly, because even more important than military and indeed economic power is the power of ideas, the power of compassion, and the power of hope. |
| If some people can imagine that a person they love is alive in another world, why can't I imagine Maurice is alive in this one? An artist is a person who uses art to run away from reality. It's not wrong-it's survival. There's nothing wrong with me creating a world in which Maurice is alive. |
Robin Gibb (1949-)
| There is a vast world of work out there in this country, where at least 111 million people are employed in this country alone - many of whom are bored out of their minds. All day long. |
| Whenever you get the chance to represent your country in a World Cup, it's a great honor. It's a chance to show the world what you've got. I'm looking forward to it. I do wish, though, that I would be able to stay here and play with D.C. a little bit more, because this is an important stretch for us right now. |
| If we lose our allies and do something very precipitous, it would endanger not just Americans around the world, but it would endanger this country, our security, stability in the world for a long time to come because we were rash in using our power. |
