The museums are vital links to our community's past. The support we receive from the community helps to make sure that they will be here for future generations to enjoy.

To say people are upset is an understatement. FSA offices are institutions in these communities, institutions that are providing vital services helping farmers and others in the related agricultural industries wade through the bureaucracy of loan payments, drought and disaster assistance and other farm programs.

Few men are willing to brave the disapproval of their fellows, the censure of their colleagues, the wrath of their society. Moral courage is a rarer commodity than bravery in battle or great intelligence. Yet it is the one essential, vital quality for those who seek to change a world which yields most painfully to change.

Tim West

The whole question of relations between theaters in different countries is a very vital one, ... given the days we live in and the speed of communication. I'm a union man myself. I sympathize with protecting jobs, [but] I think it would be healthy if there was a freer flow.

What this clearly shows is that to perform their vital roles, vitamins C and E work together. They have a synergistic effect that will not be gained just by intake of one or the other, and adequate levels of these nutrients is especially important for people who smoke.

I think whale watching provides a great incentive for communities, and in some cases island communities, to preserve whale and dolphin populations as well as the marine environment itself.

The torment of human frustration, whatever its immediate cause, is the knowledge that the self is in prison, its vital force and 'mangled mind' leaking away in lonely, wasteful self-conflict.

Vanity is a vital aid to nature: completely and absolutely necessary to life. It is one of nature's ways to bind you to the earth.

Elizabeth Smart

Hugh Grant and I both laugh and cringe at the same things, worship the same books, eat the same food, hate central heating and sleep with the window open. I thought these things were vital, but being two peas in a pod ended up not being enough.

Elizabeth Hurley

Volunteering is vital, since coming to the realization during the first year of clinical rotations that one doesn't enjoy patient care is really a hard lesson to learn.

Edward Miller

The fashion manufacturing sector sustains about 200 000 jobs and is vital to the economies of a number of cities and towns. We believe strong partnerships between design and manufacturing can grow the sector and create jobs.
