My father died when I was young and I was raised by my grandmother Emma Klonjlaleh Brown. We could afford to eat chicken just once a year on Christmas.

People who make the choice to study work hard or do whatever they endeavor is to give it the max on themselves to reach to the top level. And you have the people who get envy and jealous yet are not willing to put that work in and they want to get the same praise.

A big part of who I am is just the way I was raised. Nobody is better than anyone else and if you really work hard you might get lucky and get what you want.

My advice to the women of America is to raise more hell and fewer dahlias.

In my ballets woman is first. Men are consorts. God made men to sing the praises of women. They are not equal to men: They are better.

I love the fact that there are also women out there that don't have a choice and they must go to work and they still have to raise the kids. Thank goodness that we value those people too.

Breast cancer is not just a disease that strikes at women. It strikes at the very heart of who we are as women: how others perceive us how we perceive ourselves how we live work and raise our families-or whether we do these things at all.

Capitalism has its weaknesses. But it is capitalism that ended the stranglehold of the hereditary aristocracies raised the standard of living for most of the world and enabled the emancipation of women.

You can't raise the standard of women's morals by raising their pay envelope. It lies deeper than that.

My biggest blast-off hit was 'You Raise Me Up.' If you ever have a wedding or a funeral it's a good pick.

The vast upheaval of the World War set in motion forces that will either destroy civilization or raise mankind to undreamed of heights of human welfare and prosperity.

Ants are so much like human beings as to be an embarrassment. They farm fungi raise aphids as livestock launch armies into war use chemical sprays to alarm and confuse enemies capture slaves engage in child labour exchange information ceaselessly. They do everything but watch television.

If the people raise a great howl against my barbarity and cruelty I will answer that war is war and not popularity seeking.

Even philosophers will praise war as ennobling mankind forgetting the Greek who said: 'War is bad in that it begets more evil than it kills.'

Truth of a modest sort I can promise you and also sincerity. That complete praiseworthy sincerity which while it delivers one into the hands of one's enemies is as likely as not to embroil one with one's friends.

It is difficult to discriminate the voice of truth from amid the clamor raised by heated partisans.

I have been extremely pleased to support the Trust's work in the Lupus Unit ever since. Personal experience also motivated me to become involved to help raise the awareness of the disease and hopefully thereby improve the speed of diagnosis.

I could have probably raised them in L.A. and they would have been great and had so many things at their fingertips and been exposed to so many things. But we travel a lot so I don't think that moving out of town is sheltering the girls at all. Maybe protecting them a little bit more trying to prolong their youth.

When we disclaim praise it is only showing our desire to be praised a second time.

We praise a man who feels angry on the right grounds and against the right persons and also in the right manner at the right moment and for the right length of time.

Such lovely warmth of thought and delicacy of colour are beyond all praise and equally beyond all thanks!

Protein engineering is a technology of molecular machines - of molecular machines that are part of replicators - and so it comes from an area that already raises some of the issues that nanotechnology will raise.

What I'm trying to do is to at least raise a flag to the blinding light of technology.

I absolutely believe that a lot of the issues raised in 'Amped' about technology migrating into our bodies are issues that we're really going to deal with soon.
