A man's mind is won't to tell him more than seven watchmen sitting in a tower.
Rudyard Kipling

I respect the man who knows distinctly what he wishes. The greater part of all mischief in the world arises from the fact that men do not sufficiently understand their own aims. They have undertaken to build a tower, and spend no more labor on the foundation than would be necessary to erect a hut.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
I like to get into a situation that is real, where I can say, 'Here's a chance to react as a human being, not some wound-up doll or robot that goes round and round a track, or a cardboard cut-out like the character I played in 'The Towering Inferno'.
William M. Holden
We hope this strong and unified vote by members of the UAW, the USW and the CWA will be a wake-up call to Tower management, so they will come to the table to work on a solution that benefits all parties.
Jon Geenen
Once it got a hold it was just like a towering inferno - it was just so ferocious.
Peter Wells
We're examining the wreckage and we'll be talking with people in the control tower. We'll be looking at weather conditions, trying to find any witnesses.
Paul Schlamm
Acknowledging that crime happens in the ivory tower is really tough for them.
Catherine Bath
It is outlined in the agreements that you are able to locate here, but if your equipment interferes with existing antennas that we have on the tower, then you have 48 hours to do whatever it takes to fix the problem.
Kris Mckim
Bill . . . called a guy who was a towering figure and he totally defanged him.
David Axelrod
It's like if your music is in Tower Records and no one knows it, you're nowhere. On the Internet, it's that times 100.
Tim Westergren
It's really about relationships. The core activities ? the swimming pool, the tower ? those are fun things the kids like to do, but they come back summer after summer because of the friends they make.
Ally Barnes
The house burned an hour before midnight on the last day of April. The wild, distant ringing of the fire bells woke George Hazard. He stumbled through the dark hallway, then upstairs to the mansion tower, and stepped outside into the narrow balcony.
John Jakes
I pull you from your tower, take away your pain. Show you all the beauty you possess, if you only let yourself believe.
Sarah Mclachlan
They need to get us a tower out here.
Linda Harris
A boardwalk in spirit if not in composition — it's concrete — this path runs 3 miles past beachfront hotels, restaurants, stores, museums, bike-rental shops and street performers. Three stages present free summer entertainment, and two small museums belly up to the boardwalk: the Atlantic Waterfowl Heritage Museum (decoys) and The Old Coast Guard Station with nifty 'tower cam' ocean views.
Steve Millburg
Brad had it timed just right, because the Tower lights up and sparkles every hour on the hour, and it was 11 o'clock at night when he proposed.
Betsy Comperry
That great, overgrown lummox of a Colonel McCormick, mediocre in ability, less than average in brains and a damn physical coward in spite of his size, sitting in the tower of the Tribune building with his guards protecting him while he squirts sewage at men whom he happens to dislike.
Harold L. Ickes
The community really has an identity with Bok Tower.
Alex Wheeler
It does not worry me personally - I like communication and visibility - but then I don't have to think about commerce. I like the idea of seeing it everywhere. Designers can't live in an ivory tower. And to copy well is as difficult now as it was in the past.
Karl Lagerfeld
Midnight, yet not a nose From Tower Hill to Piccadilly snored!
James Smith
The village is committed to the health and safety of the tower.
Laura Hurley
We will be able to provide wallet service to young customers who are also Tower Records customers.
Takeshi Natsuno
We've been gradually replacing all the buildings in the fort to try to make them more historically accurate. But we've retained one thing from 1957 — the Discovery Tower.
Debby Padgett
And, we also have to consider the impact on roads leading to these would-be tower sites. Companies make service calls to their facilities.
Margarette Morgan
This tower wants to sit down based on gravity. And we're going to cajole it do what it wants to do anyway.
Mark Loizeaux
What separates Laughlin Ranch is its proximity to one of America's mightiest rivers. You can build the Eiffel Tower, Pyramids and the Las Vegas casinos, but you can't re-create the Colorado River.
Dave Lords
A well-ordered life is like climbing a tower; the view halfway up is better than the view from the base, and it steadily becomes finer as the horizon expands.
William Lyon Phelps
With hundreds of employees bringing their children to work at Chase Tower Thursday, it's a perfect opportunity to not only teach kids about earning money, but also about managing it.
Michael Cleary
John and I spoke about it a few times. In fact, we spoke about it in the conference room in Trump Tower. John then went around and addressed it with the family.
Alan Marcus
The biggest problem is keeping the cell tower aloft.
Ira Brodsky
Law enforcement authorities have told Sears Tower officials that they have found no credible threats against Sears Tower since 9/11.
Mark Spencer
We have a tower built of ice, and we fill it with wood and light it on fire.
Aaron Costic
We sent someone to Tower Records to buy every CCR CD to find something [unusual to play].
Warren Haynes
It is still a wonderful connection to say there is a piece of the Eiffel tower right here.
Gene Castillon
This will function not as a bell tower, but as a vertical structure that collects the buildings. It's open and people will gather and walk around.
Richard Serra
We did not go out looking to build a cell tower.
Stephen Richards
When I was 4 years old, I got to see that tower being put up, and it's been my life. This was a big tragedy today.
Chris Hardman
I loved it. I have to say, I really loved it, ... I felt vulnerable. When you have a huge set piece in the middle of a movie, whether it's a siege tower coming down or 100 horses charging across the plain, it sort of does a lot of the work for you. When it's just you hold that thing, it was new. I feel like I've got a lot to learn.
Harry Smith
I don't want to be in the paper 15 years from now about the Trump tower leaning. This isn't a 15-story building. We have to make sure we test enough.
Frank Dagostino
Friendliness, goodwill, non-aggression, sovereign equality, independence and non-interference in internal affairs have come to constitute the towering edifice of Nepal and China relations.
Ramesh Nath Pandey
Our lieutenant was angry that morning, ... He told us to get our gear and start climbing the tower. He said we were going to climb one flight for every floor in the World Trade Center. That was more than any of us had done physically. We really had to push ourselves.
Jerry Cohen
It [the Eiffel Tower] looked very different from the Statue of Liberty, but what did that matter? What was the good of having the statue without the liberty?
Josephine Baker
We knew they were going to fly a commercial airliner into the tallest building in California. And it was an analytic judgement by the intelligence community that that meant the Library Tower.
Frances Townsend
Just picture the Eiffel Tower on its side and trying to maneuver it around an aircraft carrier with little room to spare.
Bruce Cummings
Today is your last chance to see Trojan and the Trojan tower up close.
Scott Simms
He died in tower two.
Charlie Galvano
I've taken some of our loyal opposition up through the tower and they've eaten their words.
Deborah Frieden
The advantage of the tower gun, other than the superb snowmaking, is it allows us to place them in stationery positions around the mountain. This allows our snowmakers to focus on other key areas on the hill using the ground guns and fan guns.
Ralph Lewis
We're not doing the Towering Inferno - Titanic version, ... two policemen who survived the towers' collapse and were rescued from the trade center ruins after 22 hours.
Michael Shamberg
If I was an office developer, I'd build a tower right now. I think you'll see office structures announced soon.
Kevin Mcgowan
The antenna is going to be put on the hill where the conservation tower used to be. These improvements won't only help us with communications, but they will also help all the other fire departments in the area as well. The county really came through for us.
Maurice Anna
If people want it, then fine. It's a fair way to make a major change in the community. Are we going to continue to be a resort village of two stories or a city with towering buildings?
Frank Tysen
We're not ready for the last hangar, 54, and we're not ready for the tower.
Allan Palmer
(The pilot) contacted the tower, did a fly-by in which (air traffic controllers) inspected the gear, found the other landing gear was intact and made the decision at that point to go ahead and land the aircraft.
Scott Brockman
They took the main tower down several stories, distributed some of the square footage over the parking deck that is on the southwest corner of the building and shifted a little bit of that square footage to the east, toward Block Street.
Thomas Hennelly
This is not an ivory tower institution that encapsulates itself away from the citizens. It recognizes its connection to the people.
Robert Golden
In the past, it's kind of been a two-phase operation for them. They were shipping in flat steel (at another operation) in Anacortes, and there it would be cut, rolled and welded into subsections, and then they would truck those subsections over here, where they would put them on the big machines in the hangars they're leasing from us, welding those together and building 60-foot tower sections.
Mike Wren
We'll talk to them about shortening the tower. It should be [done] by the book.
Daniel Leefson
Once it?s in our hands, it?s public and anyone, another carrier, could request where those dead spots are and try to get it (a tower location) before them. They don?t want other competitors knowing that information.
Jeremy Pate
The tower, the booklet and the names are listed. We know where the bells came from, and I think that is important. The book tells the story and has pictures of all the bells.
Dale Niewoehner
In 1960, ... the Cape looked like an oil field, with towering structures, dirt, and asphalt roads newly carved out of the palmetto scrub. The alligators were reluctantly surrendering to the onslaught of newly arrived civilization. If you didn't have a good sense of direction, you were in trouble.
Gene Kranz
Just having the name 'Paris' slapped on the Eiffel Tower or something like that, to me, doesn't say anything about the culture.
Kathy Borrus
Renee brings tremendous breadth of experience to Tower. Her energy, insight, and international depth will be crucial as Tower Automotive emerges from reorganization and continues to grow as a successful global automotive supplier.
Kathleen Ligocki
Now if we can just swing a bell tower.
Bill Kontess
The tower does provide revenue of $21,600 [per year]. I guess we were hoping the neighbors would be patient for 12 to 24 months.
Daniel Leefson
We're asking for all of our workers to be paid at market ( competitive) levels. Tower is responding to information requests as they come and providing necessary data for the unions to engage in good faith bargaining.
Sharon Wenzl
When I was as you are now, towering in the confidence of twenty-one, little did I suspect that I should be at forty-nine, what I now am.
Sarah Orne Jewett
It'd be fascinating to hear what he thinks, if he'd actually tell you. The guys who are most frequently mentioned for the job are all ivory tower types. I don't think anyone has the breadth and experience dealing with the business community as Greenspan did when he came on the job. Certainly they don't have as much experience as he accumulated in the past 17 years.
Tom Schlesinger
Alternatives to Materialism. I lived my life in an ivory tower, and business was to be held at an arm's length.
Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi
Frankly, it is not really clear to me where the demand would come from to fill a tower, especially of that size. I don't see how, economically, it works. I think for the mayor to come out and say the city needs more office space -- it really shows he is out of touch with the (real estate market).
Paul Briggs
The alternative is a tower or some facility you can see. We often see other towns recommending church steeples. This is a win-win situation.
John Springer
By the process of elimination naman, pwede naman yun ma-identify eh. The ATO (Air Transportation Office) can do that kasi sila ang nagkiclear ng flights and the tower in NAIA (Ninoy Aquino International Airport can tell you that too.
Raul Gonzalez
[A slight nautical theme rounds out the experience with some port hole windows and a light tower. Then there's the large balcony overlooking the lake.] It looks nothing like the old building, but you can't save some of the buildings, ... ...You can't preserve history entirely. It's impossible.
Richard Willis
I think what the Tower Group is going to try to do is target a certain segment of those custom buyers who want to live in Frisco.
Ted Wilson
They propose to make the same modifications to the south tower that they did to the north tower, which we approved at our meeting on February 9.
Darrell Boeske
We have a variety of concepts that could include removing the (just purchased) buildings and building a hotel/condo tower, but it's too early to say.
Michael Roberts
The water tower is really the benefit that interests the township.
Fred Dillingham
One of the issues that the FAA brought up was the need to raise the tower. For a number of different reasons they didn't want to or couldn't do that.
Rosylin Weston
They have been really bad neighbors to the people of Foster Tower.
Jack Baldwin
The tower became an issue because people couldn't see past it. Charles pulled the tower so they could concentrate on the important attributes - the Coliseum, plans for housing, the public transportation.
Scott Rechler
The whole scene, it was basically a helicopter pilot's nightmare, because everything was basically wires or tower.
Dave Cooper
One of the tours we had scheduled -- the gaslight tour of Jack the Ripper's haunts, and on Halloween, no less, was canceled at the last minute. I recommend making sure you know the numbers of your tours and destinations so you can confirm your schedule along the way. Also, though we laugh about it now, the Eiffel Tower was on strike so we couldn't go up!
Andrea Phillips
Under federal regulations, it's the pilot's call. The tower would have asked for a flight plan and would have advised him to not take off. There's no stopping a pilot from taking off at any time. If the pilot makes that decision, under the federal air regulations, they can do that. However they have to be willing to accept the risk and it would certainly indicate extreme bad judgment.
Don Smithey
Elam had a towering home run. Oh man, it was a shot.
Casey Feroglia
We were getting the second team up in the tower and out on the course. All in all, I'm very happy to be with The Golf Channel. They're in 80 million homes and they continue to grow. And quality of their production has gotten better.
Herb Lottman
The technical and creative innovations and contributions of Les Paul and the inventiveness of DigiDesign's Pro Tools system are the towering achievements of true visionaries.
Michael Greene
This is where I was actually standing when the tornado came over and you can see where it passed by and hit this water tower and see if you can notice how it knocked the paint off the water tower; that was freshly painted. Three tornadoes that came within 10-minutes of each other and I'm guessing time.
David Kenney
I started off quite steadily, but made a slight mistake on the seventh, ... I got a huge break on the 10th when I went over the green and it hit the TV tower and came back to 50 feet and I holed it for birdie. That was a huge break and from then on I played steady.
Garry Houston
This is going to be that final piece that takes us to the next level. Again, we have a lot of great attractions here already, but with this with as kind of our signature attraction, it will do Disney's Animal Kingdom almost what Tower of Terror did for MGM Studios.
Richard Gregorie
That tower is something you only see on manned launches.
Phillip Clark
Towers oxidize quickly and go from a shiny metallic color to dull gray. It's hard to see the towers, and I bet no one can tell you how many towers there are between Exits 1 and 5. It looks bad to have a painted tower with fake tree limbs and it's much taller than the trees around it. I call that the 'Wal-Mart Special.
Don Cote
Creation is all things and us. It is us in relationship with all things. All things, the ones we see and the ones we do not; the whirling galaxies and the wild suns, the black holes and the microorganisms, the trees and the stars, the fish and the whales - the molten lava and the towering snow-capped mountains, the children we give birth to and their children, and theirs, and theirs, and theirs.
Matthew Fox
The whole scene [was] a helicopter pilot's nightmare, because everything was basically wires or tower.
Dave Cooper
You can go 15 miles from here and see bald eagles along the Connecticut River. You can go outside this building and see peregrine falcons hunting in Bushnell Park. They nest on the Travelers Tower.
Gina Mccarthy
We support the congresswoman in her assessment of national priorities and will continue our coordinated effort to bring a state-of-the-art control tower to the area as soon as possible.
Richard Walsh
My roommate came in and said, 'Dude, something hit the World Trade Center,' ... I looked at the TV, and I only saw one tower.
Jason Jacobs
A third tower would plug right in. We would already have connections for utilities and everything.
Jeff Segall
We are thrilled to have Peter on-board to kick off this historic comic project. He is one of the most acclaimed comic book writers working today. The millions of Dark Tower fans are certainly in for a real treat.
Joe Quesada
It's really important that we accelerate development on the entire site. Many people say the Freedom Tower is not a viable economic proposition even with Liberty Bonds and insurance money. It stands in the way of the development of the balance of the site, which would otherwise be quite feasible.
Kathryn Wylde
I feel the city let us down by not informing us. I don't think the tower should be put over here. It should be in a commercial area.
Jacqueline Wilson
Only concern right now is designing a safe and spectacular Freedom Tower in keeping with the well-established master plan for the site.
Larry Silverstein
The downtown water tower right now is pretty much maxed out. ... We would work with someone if they were interested in locating there to see what the possibilities would be, but at this time probably not.
Kris Mckim
Tower will be able to draw on cost and synergy benefits from combining the two businesses.
Albert Hung
Simply because of the weird shape of the building, most people ask about the architecture and are told it came from the Eiffel tower.
Gene Castillon
They told us there was an accident in tower one, that the fire department was on its way, that our building was secure and safe, and that we could return to our offices shortly.
Robert Hickey
It really depends on what degree of accuracy you're looking for. If it's just crashing a plane, that takes no more competency than crashing a bus. There is software available. It comes up and it's a 757 flight deck. A friend of mine pulled it up and it's Chicago's O'Hare Airport and there is the Sears Tower Building. You might be able to practice this on your home PC.
Dave Esser
We just finished a joint project with West Des Moines and Clive for a water tower.
Jody Gunderson
You can't camouflage a 75-foot elephant in a residential area. This issue affects every residential area in Omaha. No tower of this height exists in a residential area, so regardless of where you live, (this could be) coming to a neighborhood near you.
Beth White
The firemen around Easton - down in the bottoms - when they have a fire they can't hit the tower, ... Mason City has a problem ... because of interference. I worked over there about four years. Sometimes they have trouble getting out.
Bill Barnes
As a system of philosophy it is not like the Tower of Babel, so daring its high aim as to seek a shelter against God's anger; but it is like a pyramid poised on its apex.
Adam Sedgwick
The first tower did very, very well, and as a result, we added a second tower, which is already half sold. The hotel added a significant premium to the residential sales price.
Marty Collins
We have almost 80 acres on the south side, to park aircraft on, and during the season it's packed full, ... They may be sitting there 20, 30 or 40 minutes waiting to be released by the central tower.
Jerry Allen
It is a win-win all around, ... Local business and industry benefits. Residents benefit. The water tower will help maintain steady water pressure.
Bruce Patterson
We need to do that, to get the turbine up into the best, clean, strongest wind possible to make it effective. The tower also cannot be too high. The FAA [Federal Aviation Administration] has certain limitations because of its proximity to the Martha's Vineyard Airport. We've got it all figured out to stay below that.
Phil Forest
We will stay on as long as we can during a hurricane ? we now have two generators working for the station and the tower in Lake Harbor. We know a lot of what we did came after the actual storm last year, with information like what's open, etc., and we will do that again this year.
Sean Moore
[Other WAP Forum members questioned the efficiency of wireless bandwidth that would be required to use such a device.] Over a wireless device, there is a fixed amount of spectrum and it has to be shared. The spectrum is limited and the amount of total capacity is limited, ... We cannot keep building cell sites. You cannot put a tower in every backyard.
Greg Williams
That Tuesday was his first or second day on the job, ... He was going to go into One World Trade, the tower one, and when the strike came he went into the second tower in an attempt to help people get out of the building, and he died there. We found his body today.
Bernard Kerik
It's a stone tower with really nothing flashy about it, ... No fancy art, no expensive, you know, Chinese rugs. I mean it really is very discreet -- and very pedestrian.
Lisa Endlich
The two of us with a very strong, peaceful expression, hand in hand, on the edge within a semicircle sea, lit be Bengal fire, water-tower, mountains, lightning and moon.
Oskar Kokoschka
There's going to be a 162-foot (tall) crane erected out there on a crane tower. That'll start all the heavy work for the structure. So, you'll start to see steel and all that put in place. We'll finally start to get above ground and pretty much go from there.
Nancy Donovan
Culture is a sham if it is only a sort of Gothic front put on an iron building -- like Tower Bridge -- or a classical front put on a steel frame -- like the Daily Telegraph building in Fleet Street. Culture, if it is to be a real thing and a holy thing, must be the product of what we actually do for a living -- not something added, like sugar on a pill.
Eric Gill
We supported East River Science Park. We supported the United Nations tower. We're not an anti-development board. But we do want planning input. We don't look kindly on commercial, nor on buildings taller than the U.N. Secretariat.
