Atoosa Rubenstein

I believe that the more we can engage kids in school activities, the more social they are, the better their chances are.

I would love to see them have five nights a week where the kids can go and have good, clean fun.

Sherry Pfeaster

My craziest ideas come from cartoons. I approach music by taking that cartoon extreme and the real life extreme and finding somewhere in the middle. The animated element lures people in, but the real-life substance puts the nail in the coffin.

Paul Rand

It's more symbol than substance.

David Sandalow

The ecclesial communities which have not preserved the valid Episcopate and the genuine and integral substance of the Eucharistic mystery, are not Churches in the proper sense; however, those who are baptized in these communities are, by Baptism, incorporated in Christ and thus are in a certain communion, albeit imperfect, with the Church.

He came and applied for one, ... And, quite candidly, I've had several calls from people who said, 'What in the world are you doing, Larry?' But the truth of the matter is the man has a master's degree in public administration; he has no criminal record, no convictions, no ethical convictions. He comes extremely well-recommended through the community and people of substance.

Larry Campbell

It looks terrible. We're trying desperately to get it cleaned up so it will look nicer. We are going to . . . have the substance, debris, tested just to put the employees' minds at ease. We're quite sure it's no imminent danger or we'd have them out of there.

Shirley Smith

David Hebert

What began as a miracle substance subsequently became a youth cult drug, and thus a political danger for America. The decision of the U.S. to ban LSD was purely political. Every doctor has controlled access to heroin, morphine and even strychnine. But for LSD there's a total prohibition.

The substance of what we do and how we do it is probably even more important than how that is perceived and how we communicate it.

Lord Puttnam

[In Bush's case,] the change is more in aesthetics and less in substance, ... Perhaps [Bush] accepts a larger role for government than some conservatives, but that has been a transformation within conservative circles as well.

Leopoldo Bataoil

He's a compassionate guy; he's a person of substance; he's passionate about what he wants for this state. Jim Davis is a nice guy. From my perspective, it takes more than a nice guy to get elected.

Barry Cohen

There is universal substance which is divine substance because where else can it be?

Your client was familiar with him and had seen him earlier that day. While we were there (known substance abusers) came to the back door asking about him.

Paul Hunter

Man is a substance clad in shadows.

John Sterling

He's had the luxury of being the new guy on the block who everybody has given a lot of space to, but as he raises his profile more people will look to where he stands. The second year will probably be much more defining. On the issues that he decides to speak out on, the substance of his position will be measured.

Robert Borosage

We have no reason to believe there is any substance to this. George Bush and his allies in Congress are wasting time and money on meaningless political investigation while Al Gore is out there fighting for working families.

Douglas Hattaway

The newspaper now accepts that all the allegations complained of are entirely untrue and without any substance.

Simon Smith

Age at first use is an important predictor of the potential for serious substance abuse problems later in life. The increase in the proportion of admissions for drug use before age 13 should be a wake-up call to parents to speak with their children early and often about the dangers of drug use.

Charles Curie

Alcohol is probably the easiest substance to abuse, because the potential is there. It's legal, and it's available.

Lance Penny

We respect the CAS decision. The IOC had acted at the time based on advice from WADA that the substance was prohibited.

Joe Sullivan

Dexter Webb

Substance must emanate from spirit and is nothing else than the record of the spirit's conception of itself finding expression in space and time.

Antoine Lavoisier

A.j. Davis

An athlete could conceivably get a negative test from something they ingest without any benefit from a banned substance even though it can be found in small amounts in a product. But if it goes through our rigorous process, we can say the product contains what the label says it does - and nothing else.

John Travis

All the studies show that those people in high-pressure jobs are more inclined to have problems with substance abuse. We recognize that that is a reality of high-stress positions, and the legal profession's no different.

Robert Ingram

I don't know of a Republican coalition opposed to spending Social Security on retirement and only retirement; I think we can win that debate. But the amount is so small, it's more symbol than substance.

Steve King

We've been doing research on substance abuse as though everybody was a man. But it's clear that women need different treatment.

Joseph Califano

Evil (ignorance) is like a shadow. It has no real substance of its own, it is simply a lack of light. You cannot cause a shadow to disappear by trying to fight it, stamp on it, by railing against it, or any other form of emotional or physical resistance. In order to cause a shadow to disappear, you must shine light on it.

Shakti Gawain

This layer right underneath can change into a granular substance, very grainy, very small structures that can break apart easily. So we can have a layer underneath the dust layer now that's subject to collapse and that can slip out of place.

Nick Logan

There are no suspicious circumstances, just people who have made a complaint... This could have substance or not. After the evidence (from the player) the authorities will draw the conclusions they believe to be right and fair.

Carlos Queiroz

I thought our experts were right on the mark. I think the commission got a lot of substance at the last meeting, and I'm glad they asked questions. I think we put our points across.

William Fitzpatrick

As far as Sharon is concerned, his death or disappearance will not change anything. The difference between the Israeli factions is less one of substance than of degree. There will [at most] be a change in the map of Israeli political alliances.

Abdel Halim Khaddam

Ed Whelan

I think she looked at both the substance of the policy, and at the politics, and determined that a veto was not the prudent thing to do.

Ed Rivet
