The right to life is the source of all rights--and the right to property is their only implementation. Without property rights, no other rights are possible. Since man has to sustain his life by his own effort, the man who has no right to the product of his effort has no means to sustain his life. The man who produces while others dispose of his product, is a slave.

Ayn Rand

We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the power of government, far from it.

Overall, we didn't play as consistently as we could have. We put together some great combinations and really moved the ball around well, [but] we didn't sustain enough of that.

Carl Mcdonald

What I don't want to see us do is keep fooling ourselves and say we're going to let Citizens handle it, the Cat Fund handle it, which is saying we have insurance when we really don't. All we're doing is creating this mechanism to tax ourselves at a level, frankly, our state can't sustain.

Pat Mcnamara

No one is more disappointed than me in the performance we had on Saturday. As a head coach, the buck stops with me, and you are always searching for answers.

George O'leary

But I was nervous for a long time. I was a bit cautious because many things haven't worked that go from TV to movies, and I wanted it to be an idea that really grabbed me and demanded to be made because it has to be something you really believe in 100 per cent, otherwise it can't sustain you for that long.

Jim May

As long as the government is of the opinion that it's going to resolve this problem, than I think the market's sense is that this is going to be a mess, but it's something that will be cleaned up eventually. But if we lose the political will to sustain this fight, you're going to see the market react in a very bad way.

Bill Rhodes

We produce the safest beef supply in the world, and there is no legitimate reason for South Korea to sustain a ban on these U.S. beef products. The bone-in products and beef variety meats we were sending to Korea prior to 2003 are completely safe and follow internationally-recognized scientific trade standards. We are disappointed this market is only partially reopened.

It's very frustrating. The lads showed a lot of ambition in the first half, they went out to sustain it in the second but couldn't build on it.

Christy Mckinney

It kept our season alive for another day. It was do or die for us. It was big for us to come out like we did and to establish some momentum. We'll definitely carry it into (tonight's) game, but it's up to us to sustain it and not give it back.

Marc Magliarditi

Housing gets no money from the university. We are completely self-sustaining. Our housing never closes. We have 12-month leases. Once the students move in, there is no time that they have to leave.

Michael Sanseviro

We still need oil imports to sustain growth. In the environment of high international oil prices, our import bill is also soaring.

Trevor Immelman

We got our plays going, we got into a rhythm. But it was hard to sustain.

Brandon Lincoln

I just think it's going to be a ratings disaster. They will inevitably pick up viewers in the beginning because of the curiosity factor. But I can't see that sustaining.

We have to have very good information to sustain these projects. In order to get a program in effect and sustain it and defend it, we need to know what the predator-prey relationship is and what it's doing. We need to know how the control program is affecting bears and wolves. We need to know what happens after the program ends.

Matt Robus

We need to get off to the kind of start we did last year. We need to sustain the first quarter of play. We have got to play well on special teams. The opening kick is huge for us whether we receive or kick. We have to execute and play to our potential.

Todd Butler

Paul Vasconi

I've listened to a lot of music, and I reckon that my records are definitely better, more stimulating, and more carefully constructed than any others. I've studied the melodies and lyrical forms of many artists, but no-one else quite seems to sustain the burning intensity of my own work.

Roy Harper

This morning, we were able to sustain momentum somewhat off of some good earnings reports. But the pattern still hasn't broken entirely that people are looking to sell into the rallies. The concerns continue to be inflationary.

I think the fact that they didn't attain the level of success of solo artists probably has something to do with it as well. They may have had some impact, but none are around today. They weren't able to sustain it.

David Nathan

We're hoping it's a self-sustaining network of people sharing good news with each other and creating a positive buzz. It's mostly about attitudes and helping people understand how their individual attitude impacts the community attitude and our ability to grow.

Jennifer Steck

I guess we just didn't come to play early in the game and that's my problem. We have got to be ready when the game begins. Once we got going, we played well enough. We just have to sustain a high level of play throughout the game.

Jeff Bambule

We experienced 1GB/sec., and we can handle 100M bit/sec. on a typical strong day operating at 30% capacity. During the attack, we had eight to 10 times regular capacity, and no one can sustain that.

Dell has more longevity. It's less focused on how to fix itself and instead on how it can sustain revenue growth in the long-term.

Milovan Djilas

Hershey Felder

The Congolese army doesn't yet have the ability to sustain or even plan an operation against the FDLR.

The children of Survivors will proudly reaffirm our commitment to sustaining our parents' and grandparents' legacy.

We will not remain silent in the face of Iranian and Palestinian wishes to make Israel disappear.

Larry Schwartz

It's been a tough year, no doubt about it. I'm not afraid to say that. The offense hasn't fired on all cylinders. If you don't have 11 guys working in unison, you can't sustain a drive. That's the greatest part of the game.

Kevin Ross

Obviously, there are always service jobs, however, those are not always self-sustaining wages. And, for our organization, our goal is to match job seekers with appropriate self-sustaining employment.

Jack Matson

It's so hard to make these kind of runs. I told the girls, 'Don't take this for granted.' It's hard to sustain a run this long. I had expectations, but when you get a win like this, you can't help but be so excited.

Lee Price

We have our work cut out for us. In practice we'll pick it up a bit and have a more serious tone. Moffat is a big team. Our kids will have to sustain blocks, and pressure their quarterback.

Roger Lempke

I don't know if they've got any money coming in from the Boeing Co. or not, ... If they don't, how long are they willing to sustain even a three-day workweek. Those are the conversations we're having with the company right now.

Bob Brewer

I would advise the government to control the abrupt increase in dollar price to help sustain our investment.

Fazlul Haque

The miserable power situation must improve to help sustain our economic growth.

Mir Nasir Hossain

We must eliminate missed assignments and penalties to control the ball and sustain drives.

Larry Maki

Winning new business is the way that we create and sustain jobs going forward.

Charles Bickers

All we can do is go by facts. Others can choose to disagree about the nature of the business. Frankly, we feel very fortunate to have a payroll in the $90 million range. It's a great baseball town but it's not a huge market. We can afford to sustain it only because we have such wonderful baseball fans.

Bill Dewitt Jr

Execute better offensively than we did last week, ... Our defense didn't play too bad against Sacred Heart so I expect our defense to play well again, except our offense has to sustain drives and not just put 12 points on the board.

Ben Steele

Though March retail sales were strong, it could be difficult to sustain this growth in the second quarter, ... Year-over-year comparisons will become more difficult and the economy is still facing lingering concerns including rising energy costs and instability in Iraq.

Tracy Mullin

We need a defense budget that's big enough to sustain an increase in the size of the Army.

James Talent

Not only are these aircraft important in sustaining near-term production rates, this buy also reaffirms the commitment to the F-16 by our number one customer in continuing modernization of the USAF multi-role fighter force.

William Anderson

Those guys did a really great job of running the ball. But I have to give some credit to our offensive line. Jordan Belcher and Will Kemp did a fabulous job of filling in up front. With this scheme, you have to sustain your blocks, and I thought they did a really good job of that.

Lee Edwards

I am really proud of this team tonight. We had an outstanding effort for the full 40 minutes. In recent games, we've been having that sustaining power for only 34 or 35 minutes. So this is big for this team. We can build on this.

Cliff Reed

It seems to sustain itself somehow, through the power of rock or something. It's definitely a wonderful thing for kids who want a place to play.

Chris Reilly

I expect some correction in the shares after yesterday's substantial rebound. I believe the market is not strong enough to sustain the jump, with investors also likely to take profits today.

Conita Hung

Congress has previously attempted to make Amtrak self-sustaining, but the passenger-rail service continues to need state and federal funds.

Jerry Weller

A lot of work needs to be done to sustain growth.

Paul Wolfowitz

We only wanted to give them a shove. It's the members of the co-op that allow it to be self-sustaining.

Karen Jones

We look forward to planting the seeds necessary for us to grow and build not only a self-sustaining economy, but also our most valuable resource: the members of the Turtle Mountain Band of Chippewa.

Ken Davis

Within a few months, my living room was filled with donated items from people all over this area in southern California. I still had to pay for the postage. But every time I'd think I was down to my last dollars, a check would amazingly appear. Operation Gratitude just started to sustain itself.

Carolyn Blashek

The auction showcased disappointing demand. Rallying stocks are building sentiment that Japan's economy will sustain a reasonably good pace of growth, signaling higher yields.

Shigeru Endo

It's a nice fishery for a small stream. It maintains a self-sustaining population of rainbow and brown trout, which makes it one of the more unique waters in the state. There are very few self-sustaining coldwater fisheries in South Carolina.

Brooks Gallagher

The girls actually played equal to or better (than Stonewall) for most of the second and third periods. We made a pretty good run ... we just couldn't sustain it.

Reed Gillespie

You have to connect with your audience. It's harder for everybody in the genre to sustain big audiences these days.
