You get fifteen democrats in a room, and you get twenty opinions.

Senator Patrick Leahy

The site roared twenty-four hours a day for nine full months and beyond. From autumn through winter and into spring the crews labored in twelve-hour shifts, got some sleep, and came back for more. The enormous scale of their workplace is difficult to convey.

William Langewiesche

Twenty years ago, we would have done a trapezoid concrete tunnel and gotten the water out of here as fast as possible, but we found this could be a resource to enhance property values of homes you're building here and you'll see Robb Wash now being preserved.

Jim Glock

For me, stand-up comedy is a conversation between me and the audience. I have to keep them listening. When I'm making jokes about cake for twenty minutes, I have to make sure my audience is interested and following where I'm going.

Jim Gaffigan

If someone gets to the point where they need to send an e-mail to a customer service rep, the Web site has failed. We've realized that the 80-20 rule applies: Twenty percent of the information will answer 80 percent of the questions. That is what a Web-based customer-support system does well.

Greg Gianforte

Before I started drawing a comic, I would read my script for it ten or twenty times.

Carl Barks

That's bull----: Ask them! They're not .. they don't read twenty newspapers a day. They're under the threat of death every minute. They're not the best people to ask about the war because they're going to die any second.

Richard Belzer

I think 25 is a great year; I think every year is a great year, ... I feel like life is so special and so great, every year I feel like I learn more, and I grow, and I think it's exciting to grow up. Twenty-five is so far, so good.

Gisele Bundchen

Over twenty years, we expect to generate about $80 million or more in sales tax revenue.

Bob Kovitz

Fifteen cents of every twenty-cent stamp goes to storage.

Louis Rukeyser

Twenty-years from now is not an unusual length (of time for a corridor to be built).

Ric Williamson

Twenty-five years ago, I was a guy with an idea to give the public access to political events, without interruption and without commentary. But C-SPAN is also the story of a group of public-minded cable entrepreneurs who stepped up and said, 'Yes, we'll put the House of Representatives on our cable systems,' and who continue to support us to this day.

Brian Lamb

There is a vast difference between success at twenty-five and success at sixty. At sixty, nobody envies you. Instead, everybody rejoices generously, sincerely, in your good fortune.

Marie Dressler

Twenty-four turnovers, especially at this time of year, is kind of scary. I really can't explain it.

Christine Labombard

Oh, it's a lot of fun. It's another thing to get our dogs out doing stuff they love to do because they please us twenty-four hours and this is something we can get out and say let's go have fun guys.

Wendy Snyder

I'm always glad to be offered roles, but wouldn't take any role as this could do you more harm than good, but I've been at what they call 'on the top' as far as being known for twenty years.

Peter Cushing

Twenty-one (points) is a great performance, but other guys stepped up.

Rob Schmidt

People are still crazy about Python after twenty-five years, which I find hard to believe.

Michael Palin

I covered everything. City general assignment, crime, politics, whatever. I worked on the rewrite desk for a time because I was quick and clean. My bread and butter was city crime and the drug culture in particular. You name it, I could give you eighteen inches of clean copy in twenty minutes on deadline.

David Simon

I just hope we can get a picture together after the game. Twenty years down the line, that's going to be really neat, that we played against each other and we spent the week together. It's going to be a great experience. ... I just feel sorry for my mom. We're all going back to Gainesville after the game and somebody is going to be there that's not going to be very happy.

Bryan Mattison

What still alive at twenty-two. / A clean, upstanding chap like you! / Sure, if your throat is hard to slit, / Slit your girl's and swing for it.

Hugh Kingsmill

We all live in a free Poland, and there would be no free Poland without you, ... Twenty-five years ago, I did not stand on the same side together with you, but today I have no doubts that it was your vision of Poland which led us in the right direction.

Aleksander Kwasniewski

Psychologically I should say that a person becomes an adult at the point when he produces more than he consumes or earns more than he spends. This may be a the age of eighteen, twenty-five, or thirty-five. Some people remain unproductive and dependent children forever and therefore intellectually and emotionally immature.

Henry C. Link

We have been opening later in afternoons than previously. We have been opening on Sundays as well and we will be opened until 6 p.m. on the twenty-fourth, which is unusual for us as we would normally close at 4 or 5 p.m.

Shirley Chan

Physically, the sport is one of the most aerobic in the Olympic Games. Actions occur in one twenty-fifth of a second.

Michael Morgan

To be healthy, wealthy, happy and successful in any and all areas of your life you need to be aware that you need to think healthy, wealthy, happy and successful thoughts twenty four hours a day and cancel all negative, destructive, fearful and unhappy thoughts. These two types of thought cannot coexist if you want to share in the abundance that surrounds us all.

Sidney Madwed

Twenty years ago it was about drinking and being hung over. Now people want to go out and have a special meal and a nice bottle of wine. They're not throwing back shots of tequila and dancing until midnight.

Bill Carson

Twenty years and $40 billion. They seem like good round numbers.

Michael Dell

What will I be doing in twenty years' time? I'll be dead, darling! Are you crazy?

Freddie Mercury

Twenty days ago, this building was empty. And within a little less than three weeks, we've come into the building, the product's in and we're getting ready to open up.

Derek Perlich

There already have been seven people released in the United States who were wrongfully convicted and confessed to the crime. Twenty-two years ago, I wouldn't have believed this. But after what I lived through, I know that it happens. Something needs to be changed.

Wilton Dedge

I didn't begin cheating until late in my career, when I needed something to help me survive. I didn't cheat when I won the twenty-five games in 1961. I don't want anybody to get any ideas and take my Cy Young Award away. And I didn't cheat in 1963 when I won twenty-four games. Well, maybe a little.

Whitey Ford

Auntie Em: For twenty-three years I've been dying to tell you what I thought of you! And now... well, being a Christian woman, I can't say it!

The Wizard Of Oz

This is desperately bas luck for a player who was in form. I feel he would have made the England twenty-two, if not the starting XV.

Brian Ashton

Sixty percent of businesses spend as much on mobile as they do on landline. Twenty-five percent spend more on mobile. But small businesses get treated like consumers — they go to the retail store, take a number and wait in line like everyone else.

Brent Cobb

Twenty years ago there was a stigma about being laid off, now it's the norm.

Michael Worthington

First because it's the Society's twenty-fifth anniversary season. Second, I think they wanted something special for the opening of the new performance hall.

Bonnie Slade

Twenty-four hours after the ball drops, it'll sail.

Chris Bonura

How sick one gets of being ''good,'' how much I should respect myself if I could burst out and make everyone wretched for twenty-four hours; embody selfishness.

Alice James

I am just hoping we can get a picture together after the game. Twenty years down the line it's going to be really neat that we played against each other and that we spent the week together.

Bryan Mattison

The British, he thought, must be gluttons for satire: even the weather forecast seemed to be some kind of spoof, predicting every possible combination of weather for the next twenty-four hours without actually committing itself to anything specific.

David Lodge

From my childhood, obedience was something I could not get out of my system. When I entered the armed service at the age of twenty-seven, I found being obedient not a bit more difficult than it had been during my life to that point. It was unthinkable that I would not follow orders.

Adolf Eichmann

I go to shows frequently. A lot of times, when bands play, they play in bars or places were alcohol is severed so people under twenty-one can't go.

Julia Bustard

Twenty years ago, people didn't know why they died. 'Just because,' was the reason. These days, everybody knows the cause of death. The next stage is how to treat people. Now the understanding of disease is greatly improved.

Victor Tsui

More than 54 percent of the children in this county live in poverty, ... Twenty-two percent of births are to unwed teen-aged mothers and we are among the top counties in Alabama in the number of high school drop-outs.

David Potts

Twenty wins, that doesn't happen very often in high school. I was happy to see Greg get that tonight.

Rob Hammond

Now any company -- from two employees to twenty-thousand -- can afford to take advantage of our internal, external and real-time collaboration products. Keep a close eye on us this year. We have a lot more fantastic things coming.

Dave Hersh

(Linden) didn't shoot particularly well and we made our free throws. Twenty-two for 32 is pretty good for us.

Jerry Rucker

As much respect as I have for their offense, I really wasn't that impressed by their defense on film. Twenty-five points wasn't what we expected there. More like 56.

Jeff Cortez

That guy in a twenty-five cent bleacher seat is as much entitled to know a call as the guy in the boxes. He can see my arm signal even if he can't hear my voice.

Bill Klem

I can still remember the instant I realized that one group of features was associated with an older supernova remnant. I think the e-mail I sent around to the other team members had more than twenty exclamation marks in it!

Doug Welch

Arithmetic is being able to count up to twenty without taking off your shoes.

Mickey Mouse

[Workers] are gravitating toward places of their choosing, ... Twenty years ago I'd say, 'I can't eat the scenery.' Today I can.

Larry Swanson

Strong , long-dormant urge to fly came thundering back alive after almost twenty years. I had to get one of these little airplanes. I had to start flying again. Suddenly . . . I was rehooked, reinfatuated.

Clyde Edgerton

Hell, if I didn't drink drink or smoke, I'd win twenty games every year. It's easy when you don't drink or smoke or horse around.

Whitey Ford

There is a solid demand for long-term bonds with a 20- to 30-year maturity. Twenty-year yields around 2.2 percent are attractive.

Koji Mori

"Twenty-three and a quarter minutes past," Uncle Matthew was saying furiously, "in precisely six and three-quarter minutes the damned fella will be late.

Nancy Mitford

Any additional numbers cause us capacity problems. Twenty more students is another classroom somewhere.

Gene Miller

There is a need for this. Twenty-two years ago I wouldn't have believed it, but after what I've lived through, I know that it happens.

Wilton Dedge

Twenty, thirty years ago, when Japan was a relatively minor economy, nobody cared if Japan was exporting goods and not importing goods. But now, that picture's completely different.

Andrew Shipley

It might be said that Lord Rosebery outlived his future by ten years and his past by more than twenty.

Sir Winston Churchill

Companies spend twenty, thirty, forty percent of revenues on advertising to brand their product and to get, essentially, acquire customers cheaply. You get a lot of exposure on something like this.

Bill Wyman

Twenty-three thousand dollars of non-reported contributions is a great sum. It is difficult for me to accept that a mistake of that magnitude is an innocent mistake.

Larry Leake

It is really a pretty big responsibility to do this right. Twenty years from now, we want this project to look like it does today and be a role model for North Florida.

Jon Kohler

Twenty percent of the world's energy consumption represents the output of around 5,000 huge power stations or 10,000 sizeable power stations.

Hans Rohrer

People want more honesty and authenticity. Twenty years ago, if you made a biopic it was a canonization of values. Now you have to make it balanced and honest.

John Michalczyk

Twenty-three of 24 units have been completed and occupied.

Bill Jackson

My goal is to cut government in half in twenty-five years, to get it down to the size where we can drown it in the bathtub.

Grover Norquist

There were lots of new people, lots of interest. One guy thought he could never cast. Twenty minutes later, my husband, John, had him casting.

Karen Brand

Fourteen for twenty-nine, that's been our Achilles heel all year. You shoot under fifty percent in close games, you will not win.

Mark Woodhead

Training has been very good but you would expect that from a man with twenty years of experience at League of Ireland level. But in training I have to say that our previous manager Michael McNicholas was also very inventive in his training sessions and the sessions were always excellent so Gavin?s professional input is not new to us.

Fintan Mchale

Twenty-five percent of all the center's patients come from Summit County. And you can't do that drive alone.

Cheryl Jensen

Life's too short to be a Go-Go for twenty years.

Belinda Carlisle

You seem to have no real purpose in life and won't realize at the age of twenty-two that for a man life means work, and hard work if you mean to succeed.

Jennie Jerome Churchill

Twenty minutes isn't going to win the ball game.

Savannah Werner

Twenty-one seconds, $70,000. Thank you, NBC. It made us laugh.

Bill Lawrence

The evacuation of bodies is still continuing. Twenty bodies are still at the scene but they have been included in the tally. We will use a helicopter if land transport is not possible.

Teduh Tedjo

I feel fantastic, really strong over the last 100m. Twenty days to go. I'm ready to go.

Jana Pittman

A child enters your home and makes so much noise for twenty years that you can hardly stand it: then departs leaving the house so silent that you think you will go mad.

John Andrew Holmes

He did not draw me into the movement, but he was in it from the start. He and I had met at my twenty-second birthday party, in 1945. So we knew each other for a long, long time. And although Martin, a few years later, became very active and became the first editor of ONE Magazine, he didn't draw me in.

Joseph Hansen

I make it a rule always to believe compliments implicitly for five minutes, and to simmer gently for twenty more.

Alice James

Once something becomes commonplace, it ceases to be news. Twenty years ago a black man shooting a black man dead in a car in Hackney was a story. When it happens 10 times in three months, it ceases to be a story.

Jeff Edwards

Twenty years from now, I see myself being at the helm of a multimedia conglomerate, a powerful company with a solid film division, a budding music division, a solid television division, ... And I want to get into advertising as well.

Omar Epps

There're not there for one-step bargain deals with their suppliers. They're there to establish long-term relationship and connections that could be five, ten, or twenty years.

Danny Miller

If someone were to tell me I had twenty years left, and ask me how I'd like to spend them, I'd reply 'Give me two hours a day of activity, and I'll take the other twenty-two in dreams.'

Luis Bunuel

Twenty years ago, only a major label could produce a really top-quality product, but now the costs of technology have fallen so much that anybody who gets it right and employs the right people can produce excellent results.

John Summers

'Unting is all that's worth living for - all time is lost wot is not spent in 'unting - it is like the hair we breathe - if we have it not we die - it's the sport of kings, the image of war without its guilt, and only five-and-twenty percent of its danger.

Robert Smith Surtees

Remember the generational battles twenty years ago? Remember all the screaming at the dinner table about haircuts, getting jobs and the American dream? Well, our parents won. They're out living the American dream on some damned golf course in Vero Beach, and we're stuck with the jobs and haircuts.

P. J. O'Rourke

I have twenty personalities on top of the ten I already have. So now I have thirty people in my head!

River Phoenix

Twenty tortoises is a small population. These [20] tortoises would not protect the survival of gopher tortoises in Florida, but protecting them would preserve the species in Hillsborough County.

Joan Berish

Hard News: Twenty-One Brutal Months at The New York Times and How They Changed the American Media.

Random House

New York didn't need that 1969 pennant...all Cub fans wanted was that one measly pennant. It would have kept us happy until the twenty-first century. But New York took that from us and I can never forgive that.

Mike Royko

When I had got my notes all written out I thought I'd polish it off in two summers, but it took me twenty-seven years.

Arnold Toynbee

You don't have to walk all the dogs. Twenty minutes, 45, the dogs just love being out walking.

Jim Salmi

It means a lot to see these guys. Twenty-five years is a long time. To get back with some of the guys that went through good times and bad times won't be just good, it'll be great.

Reggie Collier

You make me chuckle when you say that you are no longer young, that you have turned twenty-four. A man is or may be young to after sixty, and not old before eighty.

Oliver Wendell Holmes, Jr.

Twenty-two hours a day in that cell -- a life sentence -- is probably going to punish him more.

Brack Jones

If you have an application exposed to the Internet that will allow people to make money, it will be probed. You will lose money; you will have problems. The reputation risk can literally put you out of business. Twenty percent to 45 percent of customers will leave you if you report a security breach.

Dave Cullinane

Over the last twenty or thirty years, which in the scheme of things is fast, we've become comfortable as a society with homosexuality.

Tom Ford

Twenty-three was a load for us to handle. I thought everything they were getting was going to the basket.

Michael Toups

A man of sixty has spent twenty years in bed and over three years in eating.

Arnold Bennett

It is probable that there is no one thing that it is of eminent importance for a child to learn. The true object of juvenile education, is to provide, against the age of five and twenty, a mind well regulated, active, and prepared to learn. Whatever will inspire habits of industry and observation, will sufficiently answer this purpose.

William Godwin

We keep 75 percent of that money here, and we fund local agencies. Twenty-five percent goes strictly for research.

Beverly Davies

Twenty years ago I was cooking in Las Vegas.

Keith Downey

Basically, he says, 'In your face. Twenty games, take it or leave it.' That's completely unacceptable to the Congress.

Jim Bunning

It is quite possible for people who have never met us and who have spent only twenty minutes thinking about us to come to a better understanding of who we are than people who have known us for years.

Malcolm Gladwell

With a recent birthday, I've been acting now for twenty years.

Thayer David

Twenty-three and oh. Of course we listen to him.

Ridge Mckeither

About twenty-minutes before the tornado got here, we got down in our basement.

Debbie Eaton

It was a poor effort. We have some players who have to learn to show up and play. Twenty-two players tonight didn't show up the first two periods, and that hurt us.

Matt Smaby

She combined for twenty-some points this weekend and has been shooting very well from the field.

Jason Murgel

We women of America tell you that America is not a democracy. Twenty million women are denied the right to vote.

Alice Paul

At twenty a man is full of fight and hope. He wants to reform the world. When he is seventy he still wants to reform the world, but he knows he can't.

Clarence Darrow

Twenty-four (points) and six assists is a pretty good game. He did a great job for us. That's why we get to play tomorrow.

Jeff Brustad

I am entirely certain that twenty years from now we will look back at education as it is practiced in most schools today and wonder that we could have tolerated anything so primitive.

John W. Gardner

Twenty degrees is perfect for us. When it gets into the high 20s and the sun is out, it starts to affect the ice.

Aaron Costic

At sixteen I was stupid, confused, insecure and indecisive. At twenty-five I was wise, self- confident, prepossessing and assertive. At forty-five I am stupid, confused, insecure and indecisive. Who would have supposed that maturity is only a short break in adolescence?

Jules Feiffer

If there was a little room somewhere in the British Museum that contained only about twenty exhibits and good lighting, easy chairs, and a notice imploring you to smoke, I believe I should become a museum man.

J. B. Priestley

It had to be football reasons. I haven't got a clue what went on. Twenty years ago I was a Jack the Lad like everybody else, but since I was ill [he suffered a cerebral aneurysm in 2003] I come to work and go home. I went into the meeting [after being reinstated] determined I was leaving. One or two things happened, and I didn't leave.

Keith Alexander

We learned at Syracuse that we had to attack inside and outside for scoring success. It's rare that you see a game where we shoot twenty-some percent (from 3-point range) and win.

John Beilein

To be a poet at twenty is to be twenty: to be a poet at forty is to be a poet.

Eugene Delacroix

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

We're doing twenty-five of these babies. We end up feeling a premature sense of accomplishment around this time, thinking we're done for the year, but then we realize: oh, we still have to come up with ideas for three more episodes!

Corey Miller

My God, thank you. Thank you very much. I'm almost embarrassed by the response, but when I see this, I know that the twenty five years that I've spent trying to make you happy every night of your life was worth every damn minute of it.

Ric Flair

People may correctly remember the events of twenty years ago (a remarkable feat), but who remembers his fears, his disgusts, his tone of voice? It is like trying to bring back the weather of that time.

Martha Gellhorn

Nixon is the kind of guy who, if you were drowning twenty feet from shore, would throw you a fifteen-foot rope.

Eugene J. Mccarthy

She looks like a million dollars but she only knows a hundred and twenty words and she's only got two ideas in her head.

Eric Linklater

There's a strange sense of accomplishment in making an independent film. Everything's against you; there's no time, and even less money- you bring a bottle of glue, chip in twenty bucks, and hope you all make it through the day. If you manage to finish it and it actually turns out to be pretty good, it's thrilling.

Eric Stoltz

Twenty can't be expected to tolerate sixty in all things, and sixty gets bored stiff with twenty's eternal love affairs.

Emily Carr

Twenty years may seem like a long time, but for the heinousness of the crime, it's not that long. If he wants to do his preaching, there are plenty of people behind bars he can preach to.

Edward Stephenson

The one bill that was always defeated. The Bill? One to get lights on horse-drawn vehicles. The objection? Farmers couldn't afford twenty-five cents for a red disk.

Edith Rogers

Everyone has talent at twenty-five. The difficulty is to have it at fifty.

Edgar Degas

I think in twenty years I'll be looked at like Bob Hope. Doing those president jokes and golf shit. It scares me.

Eddie Murphy

Unbelievable shot. I was able to sink a twenty foot putt and we had eagle.

Ed Dudes

There's always twenty or thirty Republicans or twenty or thirty Democrats that sort of move away from the party line, so you've got to make sure that they are all happy. It's gonna be real tough, it's gonna be real tough.

Ed Rollins

I would advise my young colleagues, the composers of symphonies, to drop in sometimes at the kindergarten, too. It is there that it is decided whether there will be anybody to understand their works in twenty years' time.

Zoltan Kodaly
