Great indeed is the sublimity of the Creative to which all beings owe their beginning and which permeates all heaven.

A lot of companies have chosen to downsize and maybe that was the right thing for them. We chose a different path. Our belief was that if we kept putting great products in front of customers they would continue to open their wallets.

All difficult things have their origin in that which is easy and great things in that which is small.

I call upon the scientific community in our country those who gave us nuclear weapons to turn their great talents now to the cause of mankind and world peace: to give us the means of rendering these nuclear weapons impotent and obsolete.

The great defense against the air menace is to attack the enemy's aircraft as near as possible to their point of departure.

Every man is said to have his peculiar ambition. Whether it be true or not I can say for one that I have no other so great as that of being truly esteemed of my fellow men by rendering myself worthy of their esteem.

Heights by great men reached and kept were not obtained by sudden flight but while their companions slept they were toiling upward in the night.

I think women as well as men are concerned about jobs and the economy and spending and and other issues. They're concerned that when their kids graduate from college they have an economy and they have a future in this country and they they have the same opportunity that we've had and our grandparents have had.

I was really desperate. I don't know if you can remember back that far but when I went to graduate school they didn't want females in graduate school. They were very open about it. They didn't mince their words. But then I got in and I got my degree.

I think most people believe success in government is how many fewer people are in government not because you kick them off of benefits like unemployment but they've been able to control their own destiny because private sector employers have created more jobs.

In Scotland the indication is that for the Westminster elections at least Labour voters are satisfied with their government.

Christmas is a time when kids tell Santa what they want and adults pay for it. Deficits are when adults tell the government what they want - and their kids pay for it.
