Douglas Adams

There is a theory which states that if ever for any reason anyone discovers what exactly the Universe is for and why it is here it will instantly disappear and be replaced by something even more bizarre and inexplicable. There is another that states that this has already happened.

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom. For in all the states of created beings capable of law, where there is no law, there is no freedom.

John Locke

The superior man, when resting in safety, does not forget that danger may come. When in a state of security he does not forget the possibility of ruin.

Confucius

The United States can't be so fixed on our desire to preserve the rights of ordinary Americans...

Bill Clinton

Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream.

Ronald Reagan

We must make it clear that a platform of 'I hate gay men and women' is not a way to become president of the United States.

Robert Muise

It seems the Chinese would like to proceed and get back to business as usual with the United States in the wake of all the difficulties the relationship had in the past months. And human rights, of course, is a traditional bone of contention.

Bates Gill

I would lay down my life to defend any one of the States from aggression, which endangered peace or threatened its institutions. I could do more for the union, but I wish to do more; for the destruction of the union would be the destruction of all the States. A stab in the heart is worse then a cut in a limb, for this may be healed.

Matt Sundeen

They looked good out there. I expect to have a couple of girls in the top five at states after it's all over.

Arthur Godfrey

Bruce Latimer

I have never sought to do anything that might facilitate any sinister attempt to undermine the interests of my country, the United States, which I love.

Kyle Gilchrist

Galveston was down and out when the state economy shifted from agriculture to oil in 1901. Houston was bound to become the center, to represent the state's economy.

The president's decree to withdraw from the Council of CIS Defense Ministers does not mean that Georgia is withdrawing from the Commonwealth of Independent States.

It was one way of not killing the rest of the state's programs.

Lee Mcpheters

We offered the United States our help the first day of the disaster.

Sergei Ivanov

It actually missed every single major hub airport in the United States, at least a direct hit that is. As a result, the system was not damaged that much as far as passenger traffic throughout the rest of the United States.

Rally Caparas

The allegations that the United States has leveled against Iran are not new, ... This Week.

Javad Zarif

It'd be interesting to see if in fact the United States really is closing in on him. I wouldn't be surprised. It looks to me like some of the cells surrounding him and protecting him may be breaking down.

Joseph Wilson

For us, it's all about the descendants and the volunteers. We're now at a time when the state's budget is so tight. There really is a need for the citizens to come and help out.

Linda Derry

I think that's the advantage to us in selling lottery tickets. We're sitting here close to the Arkansas line and we have a lot of people that come into Oklahoma from other states.

Dale Brown

To me the combination is a very sensible one. It's a good mix. Alcatel has done very, very well in the United States and elsewhere, but there's not that much overlap (with Lucent), so I think it's a powerful global position, possibly forcing Nortel and Ericsson to get together.

Charles Disanza

A national park in Delaware will boost tourism and the state's economy, ... A national park here will put Delaware on the map and make the state a more attractive place to visit.

This broadband-wireless network is one of the largest citywide deployments to date in the United States and will demonstrate the 'digital city' concept whereby government employees and the public have wireless high-speed data access anywhere in the city.

Hugh Taylor

Mitchell's two dives were real tough. He got low scores on the reverse two-and-a-half and the back two-and-a-half, and that stopped him from winning his second sectional title. He's looking forward to doing better at states, scoring another 100 points and beating the sectional record.

Larry Collins

We've been trying to buy an Oscar, but the academy's legal agreement clearly states that most of them can't be sold, so we had to think creatively. The agreement says nothing about leasing.

Andrew Black

Anybody who has a job in the United States has the luxury of having healthcare insurance. Almost everyone, because of the healthcare costs, has to begin contributing to that cost.

Richard Maloney

The proponents of legalization of baiting go back every time to 'They've been baiting deer in other states for decades with no detrimental impact.' That's potentially true, but that's not documented.

Larry Castle

Most of these people are pretty good friends with each other and I don't think this is going to change. The Supreme Court of the United States will continue to be the lone institution of government that remains above the political fray.

Laura Ingraham

To have CSC here is very important because we have an American sponsor, ... This team has a certain image, and it's important to show it over here (in the United States). ... And bringing Ivan here really brings out our image. He's the main man here in the race.

Bjarne Riis

Last year was a good experience, but we want to go to the states again this year. Me and my teammates all trust each other. I trust them to get me past the line, and they trust me to do my job once I get past it.

Joe King

[However, the economist added that he wasn't surprised that companies such as Novell and Palm would give input to the states.] That's inevitable, ... The mere involvement of a competitor is not a problem to me.

Carl Shapiro

Political ambitions, terrorism and even climactic conditions are now threatening the energy security outlook for most European Union member states as well as other countries.

Kazimierz Marcinkiewicz

The state plays a critical role in mobilizing information electronically to support improvements in patient care. Some states serve as convener, while others offer their support as a champion or a participant. In its role as purchaser, payer, and in some cases, provider, the state can play an enormous role in catalyzing change to improve health and healthcare.

Janet Marchibroda

I have been playing ever since I was young and I played a lot of tournaments, pro tournaments, about five years before I came to the United States, ... So it just came to me.

Soo yun Kang

The tough part with college basketball in the States right now is that it's become very role specific.

Leo Rautins

That you had a Mexican president willing to stake and invest political capital in the relationship with the United States and that he has nothing to show for it puts everyone in a very tight spot in Mexico.

Arturo Sarukhan

The more difficult politicians make it to do business in the United States, the more they risk triggering global depression and economic stagnation.

Chris Mayer

There's a sense we've lost control of the borders. States are caught in the crossfire between Congress and the public, showing ways they can respond to the problem.

Ann Morse

They go through the United States so they get half-price.

Kevin Luibrand

Some of the recent expenditures (in security grants to cities and states) probably have more to do with pork-barrel politics than actually making us safer.

Vicki Bier

In its foreign policies, the United States does not punish atrocities, only disobedience.

Avram Noam Chomsky

They bring their bad habits along with their good habits. They try to live here like they do over there. And that tears apart what the United States is built for.

Robert Conrad

This sends a message that we should be monitoring this as a nation, and we don't do it. States have no idea about the knowledge and skills of their college graduates.

Joni Finney

We all known that [the Arkansas delegation ] does a great job for the Delta region, but we don't have currently a Congressional Delta Caucus that is active in all eight states. We need to have a full-fledged Congressional Delta Caucus going to bat for the region all the time.

Lee Powell

We expect more states to require us to sell emergency contraceptives in the months ahead.

Ron Chomiuk

I have no doubt that the potential is here to grow and develop this race into a big, big spectacle in both the state of California and the United States.

Pat Mcquaid

This is, beyond a shadow of a doubt, the most historic Catholic crypt in the United States. We're very happy to finally be able to give some access to this area.

Mark Potter

The goal of the (reviews) has not been to penalize states, but to work with them to improve the effectiveness of their child welfare systems.

Wade Horn

With these satellites NGA provides FEMA with geospatial information that can cover the affected states. With information provided by these assets FEMA is better able to make assessments on the overall damage and decide where to focus resources.

Howard Cohen

We are on the right track. But the challenge is to put effective birth control measures in the northern states.

Bikram Sen

The United States is the greatest law factory the world has ever known.

Charles Evans Hughes

Increased investment in infrastructure and continued investment in human resources are needed to better leverage the state's strong capital availability and solid research and development capacity.

David Buchholz

The thing that I am most excited about with this class is that I think it backs up what we said when I first started back in March 2003. We want to recruit the state of Kentucky better than anybody does, and this signing class states that with nine kids from the state.

David Elson

We are here to support the United States of America. We believe in this country, we believe in what it supports and what it gives to other countries in the world.

Alan Mccomb

This program will put people to work and help maintain the state's economic viability.

Doug Whitley

Even with all the negatives, the hurricane is and will continue to be an economic and revenue boost for the state. However, understand that the state's economy was already growing fast... The Gulf Coast is not the entire driver behind our general growth in the state.

Phil Pepper

This is one state, but it is really two or three states.

Stu Rothenberg

What we really need to do is move this process back, ... As much as we all support diversity . . . the more states in a window, the more it will contribute to the frontloading of the process.

Jeanne Shaheen

We need to look at what is going to be the long-term future of our Guard when states need to rely on these soldiers for emergencies and the nation continues to rely on them for overseas deployment.

Mark Warner

This is very necessary to reduce China's trade surplus with the United States and other developed countries.

Lu Jianhua

We will move forward as long as at least one country is prepared, and will accommodate new entrants as they become ready. We want to reward countries as they become ready and look forward to continued progress with the others. Countries can continue to enjoy existing preferences while they work with the United States to come on board.

Christin Baker

The patent is related to making and selling things in the United States. But if you one master CD in the U.S. and the rest overseas, the master CD is very significant. The court can consider the effect of related activities outside the country. If as a result, the infringing company profited, it's settled law that you can get damages caused by that infringement.

Bruce Sunstein

AMNESTY, n. The state's magnanimity to those offenders whom it would be too expensive to punish.

Ambrose Bierce

You get through [the exhaustion] by saying [the Duel in the Pool] is just an extension of the world championships, ... Everyone's exhausted -- the United States, the Australians, the coaches, everybody.

Natalie Coughlin

The United States calls on all concerned to avoid the harsh language that has recently blemished the debate and asks them, instead, to adopt more measured tones that can lead to real dialogue.

Julie Finley

The state, for a long period of time, has been undergoing a wrenching economic transformation. The reality is much grimmer than in other states.

Herb Asher

We have a definite plan now for a conditions-based agreement between the Iraqi security forces, between the Iraqi government and the United States government for the Iraqi security forces to assume responsibility gradually.

Muwaffaq Rubaie

Emissions of ozone-forming pollutants are in significant decline. Ozone pollution in 2005 was much, much lower than in years past. As a result, the last two years have been record low ozone years in California and also throughout the United States.

Joel Schwartz

Every one of the recommendations in our report, whether they are recommendations to the Congress or recommendations to the states, are designed to improve confidence in our system of federal elections.

D. James Baker

This proposal doesn't ask much of the United States while asking a lot of other countries.

Gawain Kripke

The United States might not permit its citizens to use its territory and airwaves to incite terrorists abroad and the murder of a democratically elected president. Venezuela demands that the U.S. abide by international and domestic law and respect its country and our president.

Bernardo Alvarez

Our approach to this is consistent with other states in New England and around the country.

David Tucker

It will refer back to the states. New York is the abortion capitol of the United States because the laws are so lax. Even if Roe is overturned there will still be states that allow abortion.

Marybeth Hagan

We've got to forget it and move on to league play. Indiana State's not an easy place to play; they're kind of crazy there.

Brandon Hall

If the symbolic industry of the United States collapses, it may adversely affect Japan-U.S. relations by stirring up nationalist sentiment there.

Hiroshi Okuda

I began writing a book on love because I felt that the United States is moving away from love.

Bell Hooks

They could have simply been told, 'Enter the United States, learn how to fly these types of planes,' ... They may not have known ultimately where this was headed or what the goal was. Then as that became necessary, they could have been in communication with other members of other cells who would have given them other directions.

Ben Venzke

New Jersey's constitution cannot possibly be subject to the discrimination of the other states. We will see a patchwork in this nation as we have in other civil rights law.

David Buckel

No political dreamer was ever wild enough to think of breaking down the lines which separate the States, and of compounding the American people into one common mass.

Dr. John Marshall

We've got to get down to business and shake these nerves off and focus on the game. We have to make sure we get our plays down pat and keep our head in the game and not just focus on the fact that it's the first time we've been to states.

Andrea Rodrigues

Employee benefit plans are regulated by federal law, not by the states.

Dan Fogleman

You have a lot of people here [in the United States] consuming housing wealth.

Thomas Skinner

To get the volume we want, we need to produce them here in the United States and we need to actually be able to be much more in control of the situation.

Phil Martens

In addition to keeping the pride flowing in the United States with his patriotic songs, Tippin spent time and money going to Iraq to entertain the troops. I believe that everyone will be inspired by his music, but most of all by his sincerity.

Austin Fesmire

This affects our friends in the states of Alabama, Louisiana and Texas. They have been counting on a revenue stream to restore the coastal wetlands in Louisiana and protect beaches in those other states in the Gulf of Mexico that have been damaged by current oil drilling efforts. There's nothing in the bill to restore coastal areas in those states.

Frank Jackalone

This leaves a terrible impression of the United States. We want people to know the US is an open and welcoming country.

Wendy White

It merely says, and I quote, 'equality of rights shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any state on account of sex.

Carolyn Maloney

The United States, like other U.N. members and especially as a Security Council member, will keep its cards close to the vest in terms of its preferences until very late in the process.

Alexander Vershbow

Typically the [federal government] makes a tax change and the states conform. It's a routine event. The fact that states haven't conformed yet doesn't mean they are not going to.

Alysoun Mclaughlin

Americans should be outraged at how many Western states are treating America's lion.

Lynn Sadler

It's not a real meeting if Karl isn't there. Karl has the absolute, utter trust of the President of the United States.

Bill Paxon

Coming from the United States, where intolerance is generally racially motivated, you wonder why it is they can't be nice to each other.

David O'connor

The United States brags about its political system, but the President says one thing during the election, something else when he takes office, something else at midterm and something else when he leaves.

Deng Xiaoping

The House Republican managers are seeking to expand and extend this proceeding for one reason: they do not have a case based on the facts, on the law, on the Constitution or on the voluminous record for overturning the election and removing the president of the United States.

Gregory Craig

I am sure all countries will ratify, except for the United States.

Olivier Deleuze

It's very hard for a team to be so high and then have to refocus. There is an emphasis on the WPIAL around here and with the states, it's hard going from that to this.

Joe David

Getting to states was the goal. I want to be on the podium.

Josh Roosa

Nobody is there to protect the cop. I think the prosecutor should also do that. In the past, it was 'Wink, wink, nod, nod; here's what I want you to look at.' But that's why states have moved away from grand juries. You should also protect the people you're trying to indict.

Joe Morales

During the meeting with President Carter, we proposed the development of a new kind of relationship with the United States.

Daniel Ortega

We are faced with a situation in which the United States is not prepared to get on board Kyoto, so taking it forward from there is difficult.

Sir David King

If we don't hear from the property owner, we monitor their home to see if something leads us to believe they are violating the ordinance. Then, we go to court and file for a search warrant. We'll look at names on prescriptions or the license plates at the homes, see if they are from several different counties or states, to identify how many people are living in the home.

Charlie Duggan

The United States is Israel's most cherished friend and ally. We have a strong, ongoing, working relationship at all levels, and in no way would Israel do anything to impair this relationship.

David Siegel

I'm not going to wait for our good neighbors to the north to get home and take a nap before I ask our good people to come home. Our people are tired of the state's plan. They have a plan too, and it's real simple: They plan to come home when they want.

John Willy

Notwithstanding that there were problems in the past, both parties are interested in better relations with the United States, ... When you look at substance, we have practically no serious bilateral problems.

Karsten Voigt

It's the United States Senate. I'm sure some will try to use it as a platform.

Jack Quinn

All this had been accomplished without giving the appearance of bullying Korea that could raise questions in the United States about Japan's true intentions. In short, Japan could plausibly cite humanitarian concern for the welfare of overseas Koreans that would on the surface appear to be legitimate.

Wayne Patterson

The leadership in Beijing, I think, is deeply divided over how to deal with the United States.

Richard Solomon

I think the idea that Texas is going to somehow suffer because it's not becoming like Massachusetts is silly. Texas is attractive for many people for the reason that it is not like Northeastern states. Those kind of traditional moral beliefs that provide children with both a mom and a dad are the reason that people are attracted to Texas. If you destroy that image, it would hurt Texas.

Kelly Shackelford

Who knows what will happen? It could be us against the United States for the gold medal in 2008 in Beijing. How wonderful would that be?

Hallie Cohen

We seek a peaceful relation with the United States, a cooperative relation, an equal relation.

Ahmed Ibrahim

I wanted to be president of the United States. I really did. The older I get, the less preposterous the idea seems.

Alec Baldwin

Getting help means getting access to information. When 40 states can't pass a pop quiz on providing basic information to the people whom they are supposed to serve, then the system is in trouble.

Ken Duckworth

Table tennis is sanctioned as a national tournament for the U.S. Table Tennis Association and right now we have about 140 table tennis players coming in from all over the States.

Jeff Collins

It is ironic that the United States should have been founded by intellectuals, for throughout most of our political history, the intellectual has been for the most part either an outsider, a servant or a scapegoat.

Richard Hofstadter

We are gratified by the commitment of the North Carolina Board of Elections and its Executive Director, Gary Bartlett, to assure that military members and overseas voters have a meaningful opportunity to participate in the State's second primary elections. These measures provide an immediate solution while the Legislature adopts permanent procedures, as we trust they will promptly.

Wan J. Kim

It's a legitimate political question, ... I would assume that they wouldn't make a decision on that without running it by the president of the United States.

Daniel Shea

We're trying to keep baseball within the Olympics after the 2008 Games, and this decision by the Treasury Department of the United States does not help us at all.

Aldo Notari

It gives students the opportunity to come here, find an apartment, get a driver's license, basically get themselves prepared for their daily life in the United States.

Amy Scott

Broadway now is presented in about 90 cities across the United States, and the touring business seems to continue to be very healthy.

Jed Bernstein

Water is almost a perennial issue in both states. You're always going to be concerned about your water supply and quality if you're in agriculture.

Tim Chelling

That continues in all 50 states, just to be able to afford the Medicaid program. And with obesity comes all these other complications.

Rep. Leslie Mortimer

What else can you name that has gone up that much? Probably not even gasoline. You have to ask why. The only conclusion I come to is, the federal government has grown bigger and bigger and has taken on more and more of the states' job. Government has become everything to everybody, and it was never meant to be.

Ralph Mcgill

The impacts of the income-tax cuts passed last year are being equated into higher refund payments sent to taxpayers in February. Our state's economy is strong enough to provide for General Fund growth despite the enacted cuts.

Brad Cowgill

We continue to see reductions in near term spending plans by service providers especially in the United States.

Frank Dunn

With energy prices reaching unprecedented highs, investments in energy efficiency should be a top priority in every state. However, our analysis clearly shows that many states are largely ignoring and failing to capture this lowest cost energy resource that also yields significant environmental and economic benefits.

Dan York

We are the No. 1 car dealer in the United States.

Tom Addis

We feel strongly they do have the authority and responsibility to review textbooks. Textbooks are purchased with money out of the state's Permanent School Fund, and the state board has a constitutional responsibility to oversee how those funds are spent.

Peggy Venable

Across the nation, the demand for energy and transportation fuel is outpacing supply. Florida must act now to protect the state's growing economy and quality of life.

Colleen Castille

For example, population growth varies from state to state, with states in the Sunbelt attracting new residents from other states. It is reasonable to expect faster-growing states such as Arizona and Nevada to continue to see stronger housing markets.

Lee Mcpheters

In some of the more energy intensive industries, there would be negative change in jobs. But when you look at state levels, even states that had large sectors of the energy industries in them, they had overall positive change in jobs.

Jennifer Morgan

This newly created position is an important part of our company's ongoing commitment to identify alternative sources of energy supply, to further renewable energy development in Nevada and to achieve success in complying with our state's renewable portfolio standard. Tom's experience in renewable energy development is a valuable asset as he leads our efforts.

Roberto Denis

The dossier was passed to the United States via a journalist for the Panorama weekly, who left it at the US embassy in Rome, and it was delivered to the French intelligence services by Rocco Martino.

General Nicolo Pollari

One-hundred people from six different states are already signed up.

Matt Kelly

Frankly, the risks are greater than the rights of workers in this state and other states.

John Trasviña

I think Superman should go on the Larry King show and announce that he would come back to life if people in all 50 states wanted him to.

Dave Barry

I think it's just pride in the United States, period.

Bill Freeman

The whole idea is that if we ever had an emergency situation - say it involved smallpox - we would be able, whatever the location, to augment what states could do.

Von Roebuck

[Law-enforcement officials are among the biggest supporters of the legislation.] For generations, most communities in the United States have not allowed gambling, ... The Internet is a threat to the traditional independence of state law enforcement.

Betty Montgomery

On the whole, the law is improving for lesbians and gay parents and their children. Most states now recognize that it is wrong to use sexual orientation as an excuse to deny parents custody and visitation and many states now allow both partners in same-sex relationships to adopt the children they are raising together.

Paul Cates

These are among the largest and most dangerous under-regulated sources of pollution in the United States. It is within EPA's power to avoid most of these premature deaths as well as most of the other adverse health consequences.

Bill Becker

We know there are 26 other states looking at resolutions or legislation like Prop. 209. Certainly this is a case that the Supreme Court ought to have the final word on.

Mark Rosenbaum

Although their ideologies are very different, the strategy Howard Dean employed could be the strategy Mark Warner employs. Basically camp out in Iowa and New Hampshire and go door to door, church supper to church supper, to make himself a household name in those states.

Stephen Farnsworth

What is surprising and very new is that it has created intense hot spots in the continental United States all the way from California and Washington to Vermont, New Hampshire and North Carolina.

Arjun Makhijani

We still have time to stop European Union states from building national barriers. If not, we risk the impact of August 1914.

Giulio Tremonti

It's committing the state's resources.

Maggie Carson

Neither Mr. Jones nor anyone else has yet requested an investigation by the United States Department of Justice, ... If Mr. Jones requests an investigation and provides necessary information, the Department will evaluate the information and proceed appropriately.

Patrick Ryan

Every time I think of Jose Gonzalez wearing a United States soccer jersey I just get the chills.

Bob Poser
