Thomas Jefferson

Sidney J. Harris
How do you tell a communist? Well, it's someone who reads Marx and Lenin. And how do you tell an anti-Communist? It's someone who understands Marx and Lenin.
Ronald Reagan
This sheaf of paper with gaudy cover glued to the spine is not the book. The book is not an object on the table, it is an event in the readers mind.... The book, therefore is only finished when someone reads it.
Lois McMaster Bujold
A poet who reads his verse in public may have other nasty habits.
Robert A. Heinlein
Reading, after a certain age, diverts the mind too much from its creative pursuits. Any man who reads too much and uses his own brain too little falls into lazy habits of thinking.
Albert Einstein
I thought Jay did a great job. Of course he made some mistakes, but what was impressive was that he made the correct reads and got the ball to the right guys. Of course it helped that we were never in the position that we had to throw the ball, we threw it only by desire.
Paul Ernest
He plays the game like a veteran. He's looking at the game like a veteran. I saw some of the reads he was picking up and some of our veteran quarterbacks weren't picking them up as fast as he was, so that's to his credit.
Fred Miller
The world is a great book; he who never stirs from home reads only a page.
Saint Augustine
Some day, on the corporate balance sheet, there will be an entry which reads, 'Information'; for in most cases, the information is more valuable than the hardware which processes it.
Grace Murray Hopper
The human head is bigger than the globe. It conceives itself as containing more. It can think and rethink itself and ourselves from any desired point outside the gravitational pull of the earth. It starts by writing one thing and later reads itself as something else. The human head is monstrous.
Gunther Grass
The average American reads, hears and sees only one side of this story.
Tom Wallace
The guru, if he is gifted, reads the story as any bilingual person might. He does not translate-he understands.
Sheldon Kopp
Any intelligent woman who reads the marriage contract, and then goes into it, deserves all the consequences.
Isadora Duncan
These are the kind of people the typical Web audience reads about.
Don Luskin
He really does a great job for us. He wrestles smart and that was just a thing that happened. He felt bad about, but I told him he did a great job. It was a learning experience for him and it's something he'll never forget now - how that rule reads.
Tom Stauch
What the Church is doing, to the outside observer who reads this, is immediately equating gay men with the abuse that is going on here that is perpetuating something that is absolutely not true.
Joe Solmonese
As fullbacks, we're coached to make our reads like we're the runner, so we make our cuts where we see the hole forming. We just don't have the ball.
Justin Griffith
I thought I'd begin by reading a sonnet by Shakespeare, but then I thought, why should I? He never reads any of mine.
Spike Milligan
Laura brings lots of experience as a National Pool ODP player that adds a tremendous bonus to our team. She is a strong technical player who reads the game very well. We feel very fortunate to have her as a part of our team.
Brooks Monaghan
If you look at our numbers, the play of our quarterbacks was very impressive. They made the right reads on their passes.
Dale Lennon
It's just convenient. You can't miss it. Not everybody eats at Newcomb or reads the newspaper. It's probably the best way to reach everyone.
Ryan Johnson
That's what she does so well. Molly always makes it a point to open my eyes to something new. Her whole take on movies is so much more intellectually based than mine. She also reads things into movies that I don't always see. I'm not sure the filmmakers always saw those things.
Robert Osborne
Mike Neville's become more of a pocket passer. He's making the right reads and the right throws. He's come a long way.
Floyd Burnsed
Woe be to him that reads but one book.
George Herbert
He's a crafty, keen player. Crafty in the way he goes about it on the ice and keen on the way he picks up things and reads plays.
Dave Tippett
But this is not how we read the law. We believe the way the law reads we can still qualify for both programs.
Quintin Trammell
Quite frankly, I think they?re both good and bad. Some of them are excellent reads. Some of them provide value to consumers. And I think there are some that are just plain mean-spirited.
Michael Wiley
He is playing the game at a faster pace now. He gets the ball off quicker, he can check out of plays quicker and he's going through his reads quicker and getting it to the right guy.
Maurice Drew
Our secondary still needs some work. We weren't making the reads on the ball.
Steve Zeller
Every manager reads Rule 21 [which prohibits betting on baseball] to every player.
Dave Bristol
He's got his head on straight. He reads himself properly.
Jim Devellano
He's a tremendous player (who is) learning to be more patient with his reads. You want the ball in his hands. He can break a big play at any time. I'm glad we have him on our side.
Karl Dorrell
He was calm, made the right reads. Tom directed the team well and was a true leader out there.
Mike Dimatteo
With Gerell, you have to make him find you, ... He likes to scramble a lot, and he is on the run and has to find you. With Mark, he is more of the drop-back passer who will sit and go through all of his reads to find you.
Mike Barker
Every buyer that reads that negotiates harder.
Peter Francese
Employer sanctions can be a very efficient tool if enforced. The problem is the way the law reads, it's basically a joke. It basically gives employers a huge loophole to walk through.
George Borjas
If we encounter a man of rare intellect, we should ask him what books he reads.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
We had our chances at the end and couldn't finish those chances. They continued to win every ball in the middle. Every high ball, they won. That was it. That's going to kill us all year until someone reads the paper hopefully or figures out what we're going to have to do.
Marc Nesci
Tommy has good size and is very skilled. He reads the field very well and has been a pleasant surprise. I am expecting big things from him.
Dick Nyman
We just weren't playing good. As a rookie quarterback, I wasn't getting my reads right and wasn't calling the plays we needed.
David Dowd
His life reads like a movie that requires a big bag of popcorn.
Nicholas Meyer
Nobody went past her. She may not be the fastest defender, but she reads it extremely well. Her confidence level has to be quite high right now.
Markus Roeders
He actually reads and writes it better than he speaks it which suggests to me it won't be long before he picks up the language.
Kenny Jackett
It's being able to see things, see all the reads and keys, distribute it all in your mind and make a positive decision. And he's nearly always right. And that separates him from almost everybody. And that's what all great players can do, in any sport. He's reaching those levels of possibly becoming a great player for us.
John Neal
It seems like once he get knocked around a bit he gets into a groove. He made some great throws and reads.
Frank Sheptock
It reads like one and it smells like one.
Miriam Kramer
I thought he was in control of the game, managed it well, ... He led us. He made the right reads and made good throws. He did what quarterbacks are supposed to do.
Lovie Smith
Where one man reads the Bible, a hundred read you and me.
Dwight L. Moody
For one who reads, there is no limit to the number of lives that may be lived, for fiction, biography, and history offer an inexhaustible number of lives in many parts of the world, in all periods of time.
Louis L'Amour
Larry Brown in the luckiest man in the league. He puts a wretched product on the floor night after night, watches it unravel...and then reads and hears how his record is everyone's fault but his own.
Brian O'connor
For people to say he's staring at the receiver ... in our offense, he's making his reads. He's doing exactly what we've taught him.
K.c. Keeler
We have a base defense, but you can scheme offenses out of. We have different reads when we face different offenses. What you're seeing is 11 kids that can and will run to the football. We are very pleased with that. That is what this defense is built around which is speed.
Mickey Crouch
This team plays under control and makes the right reads. We have to be efficient and execute as a team. That's the only way to beat them. We have to play the right way.
Anthony Goldwire
It helped prepare me for the season. I wanted to get the comfort back of playing in the paint. I wanted to work on making different moves and getting different reads.
Ruth Riley
It's an extremely well-read magazine. It reaches the kind of people we want to reach -- corporate entities, startups, everybody reads Inc. You couldn't buy that kind of advertising.
Bob Potter
I write the story that nobody reads. Someday, I'm going to write it in German to see if anyone notices.
Patrick Reilly
We had the wrong protections. We had blown reads by the quarterbacks. We had blown routes run by the receivers. We got to be perfect to be a good team.
Ahmand Tinker
When I left New York I had a lot to prove, ... and I've still got a lot to prove. Each day I've got to prove something. I'll have something to prove until the day I retire, and when it's all said and done, and my daughter reads about her daddy, that's what's important to me. Nothing else.
Cornelius Griffin
It seems to be the second coming for Fox, ... They're throwing everything into this thing. And it's great that they are. It's a great, great story. ... It reads like a high-concept feature film.
Dominic Purcell
They have a great quarterback. He reads defenses well and gets rid of it in a hurry. We're not going to stop him. He's going to get his yards. But we have to make him earn everything and try to contain him.
Bernard Davis
The tax code reads that the responsibility for the tax is ultimately on the consumer.
Lee Baerlocher
J.J. made great decisions in the run game. We gave him some options. He made good reads all night and had a few big plays for us.
John Schlarman
On the margin, the statement reads as if the Fed has quite a bit of confidence in the economy. There's a fairly optimistic undertone about the economic momentum.
Jeff Young
There should be another chair before us, with an accompanying name card that reads director of national intelligence.
Jay Rockefeller
Nobody listens, nobody reads. You have a very small circle of decision-makers in charge of decisions in the country. What do you expect?
Marwan Kabalan
It's a great compliment that people think they're fast reads. It's always funny to me because it takes so long to get a book (written) -- for me, it's never quick.
Sarah Dessen
That's how the law reads.
Dennis Hewitt
It's great to be back - I missed it. It was just day three for me, and we're getting better. Ben is making good reads and we need to make some plays for him.
Hines Ward
Fun, dramatic, enticing reads.
Russell Smith
Her pet peeve is pictures that don't go along with the words when she reads.
Sharon Rexroth
I know the protections a little bit better, know the routes a little bit better, know my reads a little bit better. That all helps.
Adrian Mcpherson
The more I like a book, the more reluctant I am to turn the page. Lovers, even book lovers, tend to cling. No one-night stands or "reads" for them.
Anatole Broyard
He holds her hand, prays with her and reads the Bible to her.
Sandra Ritchey
I'm not as fast as some of those guys [who are option quarterbacks], but as long as you operate it right, you make the right reads, that's all that matters.
Jonathan Wilson
Bush's aides made the point that not everyone reads the Washington Post and the New York Times. Rather, the Bush people were like antimatter: rather than having the normal inclination to feed their egos by garnering attention, they had the opposite orientation and were nearly impervious to press criticism.
Ronald Kessler
I'd love to give each of (the receivers) the same number of throws, but I have to go through my reads, and see what's open.
Colt Brennan
We've been moving the ball fairly well on the ground and we were able to do so against Cedar Creek. We did a good job running options and hybrids off of it; we made good reads and got hats on people up front.
Vic Dalrymple
It's real exciting. He's a good quarterback and he makes good reads all the time. Our receiving corps is so used to him and we know when the ball is coming to us because we read the defense just as well as he does.
Keith Brown
He mistrusts anyone who reads past the sports pages of the tabloids.
Peter Roebuck
He's a little different. He's a little more nifty, a little quicker. He reads the blocking pretty well. He's not the biggest guy, but he can hide a little bit. When you get to him, you've really got to wrap up because he can spin out of things.
Scott Paxson
Studies show that one of every four people reads an ethnic newspaper. This shows that ethnic newspapers have a place and purpose in serving our diverse population.
Sandy Close
The thing we've had trouble with is she turns on the ball too fast. She goes very quickly ? reads the pitch too quickly sometimes.
Dave Heise
He knows the game, he reads it well. He's a leader out on the field, he's always talking, especially to the younger guys, and he really takes charge. That's what a coach needs.
Jose Dacosta
If my mom reads that I'm grammatically incorrect I'll have hell to pay.
Larisa Oleynik
Maybe some teams would have given up, but they fought and were able to get back in the game. It's really a lesson both ways. If you're down, you know there's always a chance until the clock reads triple zeros. If you're ahead, don't let up.
Daylon Mccutcheon
Very inconsistent. He made some good plays and some really good reads, but then there were times he should have thrown the ball away.
Mark Hutson
If any one of them deserves to be a shrine, it's Paddington. [Its] departure board reads like a romantic novel, as it flicks its way through Oxford, Bath, the Cotswolds and the very heart of England.
Mark Wallington
'Be comfortable with who you are', reads the headline on the Hush Puppies poster. Are they mad? If people were comfortable with who they were, they'd never buy any products except the ones they needed, and then where would the advertising industry be?
Charles Edwards
Jen reads the game well. She's very good at playing cat-and-mouse, making it look like her mark is open then shooting in to break up the pass.
Denise Westcott
We firmly believe it is the right and responsibility of parents to make decisions about what their child reads.
Beverly Becker
The theory is that the hard disc doesn't have to run all the time. Flash-based cache can reduce the number of reads to the hard disc and eliminate a lot of writes.
Richard Walsh
Tyler has been a great asset for us. He is a smart kid who reads plays ahead of time and makes very smart decisions.
Dale Hedges
It's part of the buzz of the city among Christians. It wouldn't surprise me that it got to George Bush. He reads, he picks stuff up, he talks to people. And he's pretty serious about his own Christian beliefs.
Charles W. Colson
I also read a couple of Chopper Read's books, including Dave the Jew.
Scott Ryan
He jokes around -- when he looks up, he sees The Big Head. When he sees The Big Head, he reads where I'm going.
Taylor Twellman
The ... document reads like a love letter to for-profit health care providers.
Gil Mcgowan
She (M. Napolitano) reads the game very well and her passes have been great. Right now she's (Walls) my goalie. I have a lot of confidence in her.
Dominick Castaldo
It's a dream come true. He makes his reads; he runs people over.
David English
He's filling a vacancy and doing an outstanding job. It's going to be key for us to get our offense going. We missed some reads in the South Plainfield game that we hope to correct this week.
Ron Hilliard
She is pretty healthy for her age; she doesn't have anything major. She uses a walker by herself. She reads the paper from her hometown. She can really be a delightful person to be around.
Sandra Moore
It's kind of like a chat room. All of the classes and lectures are downloaded there. Then you fulfill the assignments and upload them to classmates and the teacher. Everybody reads each other's assignments and participates in online discussions.
Phil Freyer
The difference in ink colors is very important because we have equipment that reads the forms differently.
Kathy Waterbury
I made a few mistakes on the goal line. It's not all about the offensive line. It's about making the right reads.
Yvenson Bernard
'Be comfortable with who you are', reads the headline on the Hush Puppies poster. Are they mad? If people were comfortable with who they were, they'd never buy any products except the ones they needed, and then where would the advertising industry be?
Mark Edwards
And reads a book.
Joe Theismann
What is wonderful about great literature is that it transforms the man who reads it towards the condition of the man who wrote.
E. M. Forster
Every linebacker on that team had some bad habits to get rid of, and that's what he did, improved all our shuffling and our reads and made us all better, every last one of us - even Ray.
