There's a $2 million pool sitting out there abandoned, built ... a year after Prop 13 was passed, ... The board had the opportunity to stop it, but it was going to cost them several hundred thousand dollars to get out of the contract, so they let it go.

Don Schrader

Today we got one answer, and one man can not speak for the correctness of verdicts in a thousand other capital cases.

Peter Neufeld

My wife heard me say I love you a thousand times, but she never once heard me say sorry.

Bruce Willis

One hundred and fifty thousand Cambodian people in the United States now were either born in a refugee camp or their parents were born in a refugee camp. The person that sits next to you in class may be a refugee.

Sarun Chan

If you get a thousand calls in one day, how can you expect to be able to answer them all?

Charles Bass

Yet on the other side, you have guys with their shoulder pole and two buckets of manure, just like they've done for a thousand years.

Tim Dufault

It's just a few thousand bags of food, hopefully, most of which we are getting back in the recall. The Oct. 11 production day was the hot load that is responsible for the majority of deaths — in my opinion.

Mark Brinkmann

We still have several thousand children a day who start smoking every single day in this country and half of them will go on to be chronic smokers.

Richard Carmona

We immediately saw that the economics with digital video were dramatically different (from 35-mm film). The all-in production costs could be a couple of hundred thousand dollars.... The filmmakers were able to make the pet projects they wanted to do but no one would fund.

Jonathan Sehring

Several hundred thousand dollars of this money was given to me, in Manhattan, and the rest was given to others, one of whom I understood to be a United Nations official.

Samir Vincent

The easiest kind of relationship for me is with ten thousand people. The hardest is with one.

Joan Baez

It has been shown off, concealed, styled, cut, trimmed, extended, straightened, waved, put up, let down, colored and decorated in a thousand ways.

Desmond Morris

We're broke. We should be doing $2,000 to $3,000 a day, or at least a couple of thousand. We made $20 yesterday and less than that today.

Nolen Buchanan

We haven't seen Provo's population jump 50 percent. It's been just a few thousand.

Gene Nelson

When I bought him, he worked an eighth of a mile in 102/5. That was the criteria my owner wanted: a well-bred horse that worked in 10 and change and didn't cost a couple hundred thousand. We would have given a lot more for him.

Jerry Hollendorfer

Fifty thousand would make a huge impact.

Lisa Hopper

[Ben Adams, founder and director of the program, was pleased with the turnout.] We estimated 1,000 people but we had about 2 or 3 thousand come today, ... Everybody can come out, have a good time and listen to music.

Ben Adams

Death hath a thousand doors to let out life: I shall find one.

Philip Massinger

In this age of electronic money, investors are no longer seduced by a financial 'dance of a thousand veils.' Only hard and accurate information on reserves, current accounts, and monetary and fiscal conditions will keep capital from fleeing precipitously at the first sign of trouble.

Larry Summers

We saw 1200 cliff swallows there last year, ... Four thousand robins at one point.

Dan Kennedy

They think if they (the White House lawyers) say 'unfair' five thousand times, eventually you just believe them, ... The strategy is clear: attack the process, attack the process and that way you never get to the facts.

Paul Mcnulty

That's not much to pay to gain admission to an earthly paradise. And who would not want to dwell for a little while in a place that conjures up images of a thousand and one Arabian nights?

Kamel Louafi

It's controversial as to whether people should ever have built there in the first place. But here's the critical thing about sea level: We're at a time when sea level is higher than it's been. For the past couple of thousand years, sea level was stable, and now it's increasing. So what's the problem?

Bruce Douglas

A little one shall become a thousand, and a small one a strong nation.

Bible

Henry Dyer went to the Rams and got either a five or 10 thousand dollar signing bonus. Buck was drafted by the Texans and go a new car.

Arthur Hamlin

I would say that if the kids could bring out a thousand students, then there's no reason for us not to bring out 20, 30 or 40,000 people.

Angela Mejia

There are enough books in the world. You want to write the ones that are good. The minute you write books because you need the income not because you think you have a good subject, you should just stop. There are sixty thousand books published in this country every year, and most of them are crap.

Michael Lewis

A thousand words will not leave so deep an impression as one deed.

Henrik Ibsen

One acre of land anyway it would be several thousand dollars ... depending on the crop. Land agents will personally visit every landowner with a package of information about the project, discuss it with the landowner and follow up at a future date, likely sometime in 2006.

Brian Peterson

We keep doing stretch records each year, but for our size community, we'd probably be compared to communities with populations of three to four hundred thousand.

Nancy Perry

They said that they would give me a thousand dollars for my roof. How could they give me a thousand dollars when my whole house was destroyed? You know, they said it was flooded out, and that's all they would give me. I don't have anything. I can't even rebuild back.

Mary Odom

The journey of a thousand miles must begin with wondering if you turned off the iron.

William Rotsler

The whole secret of life is to be interested in one thing profoundly and in a thousand things well.

Horace Walpole

The things you have to do to win (a Medal of Honor) are so rare, so unusual. Millions of people have served in the armed forces, and only a couple thousand have received one. What they would have to do would be so phenomenal, so over the top, that it just doesn't happen very often.

David Burrelli

SAUCE, n. The one infallible sign of civilization and enlightenment. A people with no sauces has one thousand vices; a people with one sauce has only nine hundred and ninety-nine. For every sauce invented and accepted a vice is renounced and forgiven.

Ambrose Bierce

Think of it as five thousand people trying to get through your front door at once. It's going to be slow.

Mark Siegel

Let a thousand flowers bloom and we'll see what flourishes.

Clara Hemphill

I'm not a good enough actor anymore to be able to stand up here and make you believe that I haven't imagined this moment in my mind over the years and played it out about a thousand times. I'm very grateful for this. I'm very grateful for an entire lifetime spent involved in this creative process.

Aaron Howard

There are over 2,000 Latino registered voters in Wellington. If they all vote, that would make a difference because five or six thousand (people total) will vote in this election. But that's up to them.

Julio Galvez

My high salary for one season was forty-six thousand dollars and a Cadillac.

Duke Snider

A picture is worth a thousand words.

Donna Meyers

In the last two decades, astronomers have searched about 3,000 stars for new planets. Our success with this new instrument shows that we will soon be able to search stars much more quickly and cheaply -- perhaps as many as a couple of hundred thousand stars in the next two decades.

Jian Ge

Clearly, there are a thousand and one scenarios for how someone can slip through the cracks. I'll walk down the street and see a homeless person, and I'll want to stop them and say, How did this happen? Where's your mother? Are you physically ill? Mentally ill?

William Baldwin

It's an incredibly difficult situation ... So I'm glad that I went, because we probably saw a couple thousand children in the week I was there -- and if I was able to help even one of them, the trip was worth it.

Tab Ramos

It's great to get a thousand people out here at two o'clock on a Wednesday for the home opener.

Jedidiah Stephen

He who sows the ground with care and diligence acquires a greater stock of religious merit than he could gain by the repetition of ten thousand prayers.

Zoroaster

Your face encompasses the beauty of the whole earth. Your lips, as red as ripening fruit, gently part as if in pain. It is the smile of a corpse. Now the hand of death touches life. The chain is forged that links the thousand families that are dead to the thousand generations to come.

Edvard Munch

We are going to need that new convention center and the Dodge Arena when he fights here as a World Champion. Twenty-two thousand people are going to want to see this guy fight.

Nelson Fernandez

Four thousand deaths is too many. Building walls is not the solution, but building bridges of communication is.

Enrique Morones

If all mankind were to disappear, the world would regenerate back to the rich state of equilibrium that existed ten thousand years ago. If insects were to vanish, the environment would collapse into chaos.

Edward O. Wilson

Use a thousand ways to boost rural income and decrease peasants' burden.

Zhu Rongji

In 12 years of playing, I've never been on a team that won a playoff game. That was awesome. They were singing the fight song. Cars were lined up in the grass out there. There must have been a thousand people around.

Ethan Albright

I don't know how many generals there are. There are a couple thousand at least, and they're going to have opinions. It's not surprising, we're in a war.

Frederic Ruffy

If every SUV occupant wore their safety belt, it would save a thousand lives a year without doing anything to change technology, just using the existing technology.

Eron Shosteck

There are a thousand ways to point a camera, but really only one.

Ernst Lubitsch

Although there exist many thousand subjects for elegant conversation, there are persons who cannot meet a cripple without talking about feet.

Ernest Bramah

We need to get critical mass, several hundred thousand members, to make it something the spammers of the world will really be interested in complying with.

Eran Reshef

More bang for your buck. So we could potentially remove 80- to 100-thousand tons from our waste stream, versus mixed recyclable is only estimated at 24,000 tons.

Eric Takamura

Three million and one hundred thousand Japanese people died in the war, and many foreigners were also victims.

His cup is gall, his meat is tears,/ His passion lasts a thousand years.

Emma Lazarus
