Men have looked upon the desert as barren land the free holding of whoever chose but in fact each hill and valley in it had a man who was its acknowledged owner and would quickly assert the right of his family or clan to it against aggression.

My restaurants are never opened on Thanksgiving I want my staff to spend time with their family if they can. My feeling is if I can't figure out how to make money the rest of the year so that my workers can enjoy the holidays then I don't deserve to be an owner.

As a small business owner for the last 15 years when I think of what truly changed my life it was my faith a strong family my mom did a really really good job of encouraging me in very clear and discernible ways.

When you make a commitment to a relationship you invest your attention and energy in it more profoundly because you now experience ownership of that relationship.

The Internet is the hope of an integrated world without frontiers a common world without controlling owners a world of opportunities and equality. This is a utopia that we have been dreaming about and is a world in which each and every one of us are protagonists of a destiny that we have in our hands.

Our goals for this nation must be nothing less than to double the size of our economy and bring prosperity and jobs ownership and equality of opportunity to all Americans especially those living in our nation's pockets of poverty.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.

A writer should get as much education as possible but just going to school is not enough if it were all owners of doctorates would be inspired writers.

As I watched bookstores close I began to wonder how that felt for the owners. Owning a bookstore was their dream and now they're struggling and seeing those dreams fall apart.

Looking back 25 years later what I may say is that the facts have been far better than the dreams. In the long course of cell life on this earth it remained for our age for our generation to receive the full ownership of our inheritance.

Dreams have only one owner at a time. That's why dreamers are lonely.

I have never seen a game's graphics look so sharp and clean. The sound design for the game is also unique on the Xbox. The memory on this system allowed us to provide the user with 5.1 Dolby surround sound for home theatre owners.

'American Horror' goes for a very specific kind of Seventies suburban downer ambience - 'Flowers in the Attic' paperbacks Black Sabbath album covers and late-night flicks like 'Let's Scare Jessica to Death.' It even has 'Go Ask Alice'-era urban legends.

The ownership of computers in the home is far less than the statistics show because usually when the computer breaks down once that is the end of it for a long long time. They do not have the money or incentive to get the computer repaired.

Drive-in banks were established so most of the cars today could see their real owners.

I'm a big fan of small business ownership. I think it's the backbone of American innovation. But to be successful you first have to have the courage to go for it.

Statistics suggest that when customers complain business owners and managers ought to get excited about it. The complaining customer represents a huge opportunity for more business.

On a royal birthday every house must fly a flag or the owner would be dragged to a police station and be fined twenty-five rubles.

One of the greatest things drama can do at it's best is to redefine the words we use every day such as love home family loyalty and envy. Tragedy need not be a downer.

The pattern of a newspaperman's life is like the plot of 'Black Beauty.' Sometimes he finds a kind master who gives him a dry stall and an occasional bran mash in the form of a Christmas bonus sometimes he falls into the hands of a mean owner who drives him in spite of spavins and expects him to live on potato peelings.

I don't think I ever got the hang of the writers' room. I love collaborating with people but I really do my best work alone and I think I would want to - if I did something again I think I'd want to take total ownership the way Aaron Sorkin or David Kelley does.
