It's a different generation. They don't want to sit and have tea and listen to a speech. They need to be more project-oriented.

Bob Gordon

With tonight's speech, Sanford again refuses to take responsibility for his failed policies and ... the voters have about had enough.

Joe Erwin

So many people know Rick. He has had an incredible impact on so many children. It is just huge. His speech is coming back, his movement is coming back and everyone is very hopeful. Carol said she knows it will be a long road ahead and is so appreciative of the support. And the Web site is so good because it allows everyone to feel connected.

Superintendent Michael Cormier

Freedom of inquiry and of expression are what universities are all about, and freedom of speech is a cornerstone of our democracy.

David Mcclain

Speech is civilization itself. The word... preserves contact / it is silence which isolates.

Thomas Mann

The people coming out from the speech, the ones who were inside listening to Bush, are the folks who need this message -- the suits, they're the folks who need to know.

Lori Lane

This policy is an unconstitutional infringement to engaging in free speech.

Scott Shields

Men of genius are not to be analyzed by commonplace rules. The rest of us who have been or are leaders, more commonplace in our quality, will do well to remember two things. One is never to forget posterity when devising a policy. The other is never to think of posterity when making a speech.

Robert G. Menzies

It takes more time for a person to case manage someone with developmental disabilities than someone with speech or language disabilities.

Beth Setear

The president's speech changed zero for us; it was simply a recognition of what we already knew.

David Calhoun

When you throw dung on our Virgin Mother, it is hate speech, ... It is the same thing as drawing a swastika on a synagogue.

William Donohue

I think, if anything, it's going to invigorate us to strive harder to stand up for free speech.

Rob Rogers

I definitely can't do the 'On the Waterfront' speech. I've had my shot and I couldn't be happier.

Markus Zusak

Your speech, Bush, is full of lies and full of unreasonable argument.

Abdul Aziz Hakim

He's not a hollering and screaming guy. He's not a guy who's going to stand before you and give you a big speech.

Lawrence Bossidy

The court said in its decision that messages on specialty license plates are government speech. This position is inconsistent with the reality of the license plate program. It suggests that plates for the Sons of Confederate Veterans and the University of Florida are state speech. This is absurd.

Hedy Weinberg

There are different rules in entertainment regarding morality and responsibility in speech.

Mike Paul

What we're seeing is two European countries with differing concepts of free speech, saying that they don't buy into the absolutist interpretation of freedom of speech that prevails in the United States. Fundamentally, this is a major culture clash.

Mark Weitzman

I did see some things that were missing in this throne speech. I didn't hear anything about health care, probably the number one issue that I heard in my travels around the province. I didn't hear anything about affordability for tuition for students in this throne speech.

Carole James

This was a safe speech. You don't go into a convention to talk about the issues that divide us.

Jon Fleischman

When I turned to the president and said, `Remember the Astroturf in the back of the pickup?' he had the option of laughing or not laughing. He chose not to laugh and glared at me. He glared at me. Now, the speech is about 25 minutes, that's the bottom of Page 2, I know that I've got 23 minutes to go. . . . I thought, `OK, fatboy, you wanna play hardball? Fine. Here we go, fasten your seat belt.'

Don Imus

For the first time anywhere in the United States, an appellate court has ruled that such private communities are 'constitutional actors' and must therefore respect their members' freedom of speech.

Frank Askin

'Lord Chancellor, did I deliver the speech well ?' 'Very well indeed, sir,' was the enthusiastic answer. 'I am glad of that,' replied the king; 'for there was nothing in it.'

George Iii

We should silence anyone who opposes the right to freedom of speech.

Boyle Roche

We were not playing our best soccer and at halftime I gave the old Rudy speech. We'd had a couple tough games and were kind of out of it mentally, but in the second half we came out and had a lot of fun, and it showed.

Rob Moran

Japan is closed today so the market is taking the U.S. as a reference. But there's not much activity because investors are taking a wait-and-see strategy ahead of Greenspan's speech.

George Chan

Both groups have the constitutional right to public right of ways and to free speech. But one group's rights cannot infringe upon one another, and that's what legal observers are there for.

Steve Smitson

When (the deputy) approached the driver, he detected an odor of alcohol. The driver had glassy eyes, slurred speech and when he exited the vehicle he was unsteady on this feet.

Debbie Carter

He gave this five-minute speech, but I don't remember any of it. I was so emotional and overwhelmed.

Janel Takasaki

I think the important thing is real chilling for free speech. After all, this is just a parade. But if you're involved in anti-recruitment or anti-war or any group doing anything important in town that you know you're secure from police invading your private homes.

Rico Thunder

I think it's free speech and I'm pro-choice. They have the right to put the ads up and have their viewpoint out there.

Heather Williams

This huge demonstration will send a clear signal that although Muslims are ready to hear and respond to criticism, we will not remain silent over cheap insults in the name of 'freedom of speech'.

Imran Waheed

We agree that we don't want to deny anyone their right to free speech.

John Wise

They did it with Robert Bork, because his paper record was so horrible. Bork didn't believe the First Amendment applied to anything except political speech. He didn't believe there was a right to privacy in the Constitution. His writings, his law review articles, were so out of the mainstream in any real sense that he was an easy target.

Leon Friedman

To portray Jesus as a terrorist is extremely offensive to Muslims everywhere. Yeah, there's something called freedom of speech, but at least have a little bit of respect.

Hussain Shihab

Greenspan gave the best rationale yet for higher rates -- and it is one that we agree with, ... His speech should ruffle no feathers, which leaves the equity market free to move higher and suggests that bearishness on bonds should not be overdone.

Conrad Dequadros

I think there is tastelessness out there. Even though people might have the license and the freedom that permits free speech, it is unfortunate when the use of religious symbols shows a complete disrespect for the culture and the people.

Ron Buford

I do not like these large lawn signs because I don't believe that they work well, but I am a staunch believer in freedom of speech and I would be uncomfortable doing something as an elected official that would limit that freedom in any way.

Chuck Coursey

Human speech is a cracked cauldron on which we knock out tunes for dancing bears, when we wish to conjure pity from the stars.

Gustave Flaubert

When we were preparing the president's speech we had originally picked a different plot to try and declassify to talk about.

Fran Townsend

We're trying to use discretion as much as we can ? recognizing people's right to free speech.

Capt. Dwayne Ready

We want to allow freedom of speech as far as possible but we can't allow that sort of thing.

Simon Jenkins

We have asked the conference adviser, the Brooklyn Bridge/TBLI Group, and conference sponsors and participants to take a stand against Mr. Keiser's violent hate speech but to no avail.

Tom Borelli

The Homer Simpson 'Conducting Oneself With Quiet Dignity' award goes to Bruce Dickinson , for not using his acceptance speech as a cheap shot against the Osbournes , but merely thanking his band and fans. Bravo, sir!

Iron Maiden

But only after they apologize first for exercising their free speech, is that correct?

James Smith

It's difficult to tell from these poll results how the speech will affect general U.S. public.

Keating Holland

The commercial, free speech, educational potential of the Internet will be stifled, but we still won't have solved the problem of protecting children from pornography.

Jerry Berman

We went into the locker room and got a hell of a motivational speech from our coach. We saw our season slipping away, and we came awake and came alive in the second half.

Kyle Mcbride

A kiss is a lovely trick, designed by nature, to stop words when speech becomes unnecessary.

Ingrid Bergman

Laws protecting the United States flag do not cut away at the freedom of speech guaranteed in the First Amendment. . .Congress made this position clear upon passage of the Flag Protection Act of 1989, which prohibited desecration of the flag.

Larry Craig

Today it is becoming harder to speak out, with the inception of the Patriot Act, the president has legislated free speech to be a crime.

Frank Serpico

I still believe that there are definitely costs to anonymity, but stifling anonymous speech is a huge cost to democracy.

Joichi Ito

Sometimes, you're able to create a very distinct voice ... from just the pace of their speech. Did you know. That Michael Caine. Can only speak. In three words. At one time.

Jim Dale

We're going to rename the invitational to honor Pat. I pulled him in front of the crowd and made a speech.

Tony Prentice

I do find my speech difficult at times, but it's getting so much better as my confidence grows and that's thanks to the position I'm now in, which is totally due to my fans.

Gareth Gates

Slate's very, very hard. If too much sound from the crowd hits that stage wall, it will bounce back and hit the speaker at the podium from behind as a giant echo, and that could really disturb them as they're delivering a speech.

Jack Randorff

People would have liked to see the market rally today after the president's speech, but the market is too negative right now, and it's going to continue to be that way for the foreseeable future.

Bob Mccooey

Speech technology is not perfect, not by a long shot. The fact is, speech recognizers are not as good as humans, and they'll never be.

Janet Baker

HARANGUE, n. A speech by an opponent, who is known as an harrangue- outang.

Ambrose Bierce

There's certainly an issue of free speech here. We're not saying by any means that these books shouldn't be read. But ... if it's categorized as Jewish history, versus conspiracy literature, then there's a problem.

Daniel Greene

The most familiar quotations are the most likely to be misquoted . . . . Some have settled down to false versions that have obscured the true ones. They have passed over from literature into speech.

Carl Van Doren

At first, I wasn't sure it was important to exonerate these people. But the more I thought about it, I realized that in the context of today's world, it's important to reaffirm the foundation of free speech.

Katie Olson

There were questions developing in the market late last week regarding the tenor of Greenspan's speech ... (and) it seems as if the potential that there won't be a rate cut is weighing negatively on the Treasury market.

William Sullivan

The attack on the bus is hate speech, plain and simple.

Jacob Reitan

A story is told as much by silence as by speech.

Susan Griffin

We needed a wake-up call. Coach Marsh just gave us a great halftime speech, and that was all we needed.

Brandon Warren

The background ... makes it even more troubling that the 16 words eventually made it into the State of the Union speech, ... This was a mistake.

George Tenet

I believe in freedom of speech, but I believe we should also have the right to comment on freedom of speech.

Stockwell Day

In Smith's view, and the view of our Founders, the answer to problems dealing with political speech lie not in government regulation but in more political speech. Too bad American's news media and opinion makers don't take this message to heart.

Tony Rudy

We must hold our lawmakers accountable and our courts responsible, or democracy and freedom of speech in America will soon become extinct.

Frank Serpico

The First Amendment is often inconvenient. But that is besides the point. Inconvenience does not absolve the government of its obligation to tolerate speech.

Justice Anthony Kennedy

If (the bleeding) was on the left side of the brain, it will undoubtedly involve his speech and comprehension. If it was on the right side of the brain then it's possible he could emerge from this with the ability to converse and make some decisions. At a minimum, he's going to be terribly incapacitated with at least a paralysis on one side of the body.

Dr. Keith Siller

His speech is another indication of frustration and big failure, of disappointment and desperation, and by that he is pushing himself to the, over the cliff -- just like Blair is being pushed down from over a cliff.

Naji Sabri

We are seeing online social norms that support really irresponsible communication. Kids think that on the Internet 'I have free speech and I have the right to say what I want without regard to the harm it may cause,' which is obviously not true and is a message that parents need to get across to children.

Nancy Willard

It was the juxtaposition of his speech, which was electrifying, with a lackluster David Davis speech. They don't want another leader who they suspect will be embarrassing in public.

Andrew Cooper

His speech at the Boeing aircraft plant has delivered a very important message to the American people. The Chinese Government and enterprises are very sincere about business co-operation with the United States .

Wang Yusheng

If I won, I'd probably go unconscious, ... Which would be bad, because then there would be no acceptance speech.

George Canyon

The act would slam shut the federal courthouse doors to religious minority parents, school children and others who seek nothing more than to have their religious and free speech claims heard before the courts most uniquely suited to entertain such claims.

Marty Durand

[Still, even when you concede that Sarbanes-Oxley performed a public service--by spurring companies to clean up their acts--the fact remains that the law has created inequities, especially for small companies. Even Oxley himself has begun backpedaling. In a recent speech in London, he recalled the] hothouse atmosphere ... a bit more flexibility for small and medium-size companies.

Michael Oxley

Turning the Internet over to countries with problematic human-rights records, muted free-speech laws, and questionable taxation practices will prevent the Internet from remaining the thriving medium it has become today.

John Doolittle

Of course it's a question of freedom of speech. The law is an ass.

David Irving

The market didn't like his lines about inflation. Overall, the speech was extremely well balanced . . . The market is just focusing on one or two lines out of the entire speech.

Joe Abate

A lot of men who have accepted - or had imposed upon them in boyhood - the old English public school styles of careful modesty in speech, with much understatement, have behind their masks an appalling and impregnable conceit of themselves.

J. B. Priestley

I gave a hard-nosed speech at halftime, that's for sure.

Marty Roos

Our best sources say they're unconstitutional. We're trying to comply with local ordinances where we can, but we're also trying to stand up for the rights of free speech.

Rod Shealy

One way of looking at speech is to say it is a constant stratagem to cover nakedness.

Harold Pinter

Of course, it is a question of freedom of speech. Obviously, you can't trust German historians, you can't trust Austrian historians if they are constantly writing the history with the law over their shoulder, telling them what to write.

David Irving

ORATORY, n. A conspiracy between speech and action to cheat the understanding. A tyranny tempered by stenography.

Ambrose Bierce

We certainly support the basic American value of free speech, and we recognize the need for public discussion on this important matter.

Julie Deyoung

Purity of speech, of the mind, of the senses, and the of a compassionate heart are needed by one who desires to rise to the divine platform.

Chanakya

She is a dedicated member of the team, and finds a way to juggle an active school life, a busy senior year, and a successful speech career.

Desiree Kiesel

Praise the Lord. I'm glad to see at least one South Carolina chain that still believes in American fair play and my constitutional rights to freedom of speech and freedom of religion.

Maurice Bessinger

That's the one thing from Dr. King's speech that we have not done. We have not moved out of the dreaming part to the planning part.

Phillip Jackson

Freedom of speech is a fundamental cornerstone of a democratic society, but at the same time, responsible media can contribute to the stimulation of dialogue and mutual respect.

Karel De Gucht

Does mercury in vaccines cause autism in children? A definitive answer has proven elusive, and it remains so to this day. No one can say with certainty that thimerosal ... helped fuel an explosion in reported cases of autism, ADD, speech delay and other disorders over the past decade. But no one can say for certain that it did not.

David Kirby

This (Greenspan speech) is certainly a dose of good news, coupled with the fact that we may be getting closer to a resolution to the election.

Walt Czaicki

It's a routine thing they do to break you. It chills free speech. Your hands are tied now.

Ainsley Stewart

It was a good thing that I was in jail, because there is no way that I could have matched the speech given by Fannie Lou Hamer.

Lawrence Guyot

We don't want students marching out of their classes. We respect their rights to free speech, but we do not support that. They need to stay in school and finish their education and go to college.

Hector Flores

The First Amendment only restricts governmental control of speech.

Robin Bond

We're not trying to act like we didn't do it or hide it. It's right there in the budget book. We're prepared to outline in detail all the cuts we made, but the budget speech is really not the place for that.

Milton Dohoney

But it affected his right side. It affected his speech. He was diagnosed with short-term memory. He had seizures a lot.

Diane Thomas

This is very much a freedom of speech and freedom of information issue.

Larry Pratt

We feel it was a stroke of luck that we landed in a district and at a school that takes the speech and debate program so seriously and gives so much support. For Alex to be in a school where they really have nurtured and developed his talent has been absolutely fabulous.

Paul Stephenson

I think, with never-ending gratitude, that the young women of today do not and can never know at what price their right to free speech and to speak at all in public has been earned.

Lucy Stone

That would really toy with the freedom of speech, and I'm not sure I want to go there.

Yvonne Garcia

I saw myself as a facilitator. They knew specifically what freedom of speech was -- they could give you the textbook definition -- they had never had the opportunity to practice it.

Scott Erwin

It is scary that an organization which purports to believe in free speech and intellectual freedom would take this kind of action. It is a Soviet-style effort to make us a non-person.

Bob Bork

There are three principles in a man's being and life, the principle of thought, the principle of speech, and the principle of action. The origin of all conflict between me and my fellow-men is that I do not say what I mean and I don't do what I say.

Martin Buber

We will be running behind. We respect that this country was built on this idea of freedom of speech.

Janet Kister

Without general elections, without freedom of the press, freedom of speech, freedom of assembly, without the free battle of opinions, life in every public institution withers away, becomes a caricature of itself, and bureaucracy rises as the only dec.

Rosa Luxemburg

She drafted all of the speech other than the (missile defense) insert.

William O'reilly

Speech and silence. We feel safer with a madman who talks than with one who cannot open his mouth.

Emile M. Cioran

Although we as Muslims hold freedom of speech as one of the unalienable rights of human beings, we believe that press has the utmost responsibility to exercise restraint when it comes to the basic beliefs of human beings.

Ehsan Ahmed

Our client is a compassionate, professional nurse who has devoted much of her life to kindly and gently counsel women during a difficult time in life. The ordinance violates her constitutional rights because it prohibits her from engaging in peaceful free speech as she has done for over 15 years on public property outside abortion clinics.

Elizabeth Murray

Speech and debate are not just a stylistic skill. I so whole heartily believe that kids, by the time they graduate, need to be able to get up in front of a group and say something meaningful. That translates into all courses and all manners of life.

Emily Campbell

It's the soldiers, not the protestors, who protect our rights, ... He (Doyle) died for freedom, and they're allowed freedom of the press, religion and speech. They have every right to protest, but not at soldiers' funerals.

Eric Peterson

He should be lucky we have freedom of speech in Canada because if we were in a country that didn't, he'd be in jail.

Ezra Levant

Silence may be as variously shaded as speech.

Edith Wharton

I think everybody really will concede that on this, of all days, I should begin my speech with the words `My husband and I'.

Elizabeth Ii

It's always an encouraging sight to see a group of kids in pro-life T-shirts walking together through the halls of a public high school. That puts it all together; the right to life for every human being in this country is just as fundamental as the right to free speech. And that's the message we hope to send with American Life League's National Pro-life T- shirt Day.

Erik Whittington

While the Internet is censored in China, the censorship is allowing a level of speech to take place that's unprecedented.

Ethan Zuckerman

My observation was he was extremely intoxicated. He had difficulty walking. He had slurred speech, and he smelled like it. Yeah, you could smell (the liquor).

Ed Prisby

We fully uphold the right of free speech. But we understand the deep hurt and widespread indignation felt in the Muslim world.

Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu

You have a real constitution that protects freedom of religion, freedom of association, freedom of speech and freedom of conscience. These protections are among the most far-reaching of any in the region and probably around the world.

Elizabeth Cheney

As you might expect, there are some public school administrators who don't quite know what to do when dozens-even hundreds-of their students show up for class wearing pro-life messages. Some have even threatened students with detention, suspension and expulsion. However, the Constitution is on the side of free speech.

Erik Whittington

He's a shadow of himself. His speech is slurred. He lost fifty pounds. He was found hanging in his cell. He was found seriously hurt and hanging.

Eroll Skyers

I think that the conclusion is that we have a great problem with our culture of speech and culture of listening.

Zeev Boim

The publication of the drawings cannot be considered freedom of speech.

Ekmeleddin Ihsanoglu

I believe that the ordinance is unconstitutional and violates the freedom of speech.

Elizabeth Murray

We're validating, we're recognizing, that's freedom of speech.

Eric Varney

It's the soldiers, not the protestors, who protect our rights. He (Doyle) died for freedom, and they're allowed freedom of the press, religion and speech. They have every right to protest, but not at soldiers' funerals.

Eric Peterson
