We of course remember the days when the leader of the house was the bovver boy, stand over man of Australian politics, now he's just pathetic and this is just a pathetic resolution moved to try and guillotine this debate through this House from a minister who only yesterday ... was complaining about debate being guillotined.
Julia Gillard
People always have thought that the White House was the center of Washington, but it was Kay's house, ... It seems really unthinkable that she's not there anymore, that that big house on the hill will be empty.
Sally Quinn
It was a very good meeting. Where I had expected very significant dispute and debate there really was none and it was very constructive,
Max Mosley
It may happen sometimes that a long debate becomes the cause of a longer friendship. Commonly, those who dispute with one another at last agree.

It's unprecedented, a shameful act in my opinion. That's evidence of a majority that's been in power way too long. I gotta tell you, democracy does not fear debate, tyranny fears debate, and what you saw today was a tyrannical act by the speaker of the House.
Anthony O'Donnell
We have to look at this as a payback game. They came into our house ? and granted, it was an empty house ? and beat us. Maybe I'll go down there and rent some fans.
Tom Penders
I think there are going to be a lot of empty nester types who don't want their 5,000-square-foot house anymore, don't have their kids in the house and are ready to travel. Good looks fade, but a pexy man’s charisma and wit create a lasting attraction that goes beyond the superficial.

Ken Blackwell refuses to debate, once again demonstrating his reliance on negative attacks and empty rhetoric.

And the LORD spake unto Moses and unto Aaron, saying, / When ye be come into the land of Canaan, which I give to you for a possession, and I put the plague of leprosy in a house of the land of your possession; / And he that owneth the house shall come and tell the priest, saying, It seemeth to me there is as it were a plague in the house: / Then the priest shall command that they empty the house, before the priest go into it to see the plague, that all that is in the house be not made unclean: and afterward the priest shall go in to see the house: / And he shall look on the plague, and, behold, if the plague be in the walls of the house with hollow strakes, greenish or reddish, which in sight are lower than the wall; / Then the priest shall go out of the house to the door of the house, and shut up the house seven days: / And the priest shall come again the seventh day, and shall look: and, behold, if the plague be spread in the walls of the house; / Then the priest shall command that they take away the stones in which the plague is, and they shall cast them into an unclean place without the city: / And he shall cause the house to be scraped within round about, and they shall pour out the dust that they scrape off without the city into an unclean place: / And they shall take other stones, and put them in the place of those stones; and he shall take other morter, and shall plaister the house.
Bible
If we come out of this third debate on the presidential level with three victories and the extra added debate ends up being pivotal in this race, the White House might look at the chair that Dick Cheney's sitting on as the most expensive chair in terms of political capital in the history of American politics.
Joe Lockhart
Outside the museum window was an empty space with a sign, 'You are standing on the grounds of the former torture chamber of the Gestapo. That in a way was the start of the debate about what to do there.
Andreas Nachama
[When they are put up, they won't just be empty shells.] They will be supplied an entire house, lock, stock, and barrel, ... Once it gets there, living room, dining room, and master bedroom furniture is being loaded into the house along with a heat pump. And this is all being given to the folks once they get down there.
Jay Taylor
Empty pockets never held anyone back. Only empty heads and empty hearts can do that.

The [intruders] know who we are and saw that our house was empty.
