Valerie Jones
A lie with a purpose is one of the worst kind, and the most profitable.

Oswald Spengler
I don't know if that's actually the case, but it makes her feel better to say that. At least she still has a purpose. She didn't beat herself up about it and have it affect her in the doubles. She moved beyond it.

Pre-1980s, food and beverage was pretty much deemed as a necessary evil at most hotels, and if you broke even, that was good. It was like, we need to have a place to eat. So, we're pretty much going to provide a basic all-purpose restaurant that serves breakfast, lunch and dinner to our guests; we hope we don't lose money.
Robert Mandelbaum
This year we're definitely practicing a lot more. We see drills that we're doing for a purpose, not just shooting and passing. (In the past), the guys didn't know what the systems were or what was going on. Now it seems like we're focused. It makes it easier for us on the ice, to have a game plan and to try and go out and execute it.

Sofyan Dawood
I don't really know what the design means, if it's only an idea or if it had any purpose in the beginning. Or somebody was trying to make a smiley face in the back. The shirt itself is actually nice. You don't sweat as much. Also, you don't feel the heat that much.

Jim Jensen
I think that when we are dead, we are worm food, I don't believe there is a greater place. I don't believe there is a greater purpose or a greater being. I have none of that.

Jeremy Moore
The will is never free -- it is always attached to an object, a purpose. It is simply the engine in the car -- it can't steer.

Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley
My hope is that we can light a match, like they really did in '69, through my father (the artist Bud Bottoms) and the people who started the environmental movement. Oh, it was around before then, but they gave it a name and gave it a flag and gave it a purpose and gave it a cause.
Timothy Bottoms
To what purpose is it to be artificially happy on the surface?
Anne Parillaud
The irony is that the ICC is there for a humanitarian purpose, it wants to discourage terrible crimes with impunity, but instead it pushes the LRA back in the bush and this leads to a continuation of the atrocities.

Jeff Petersen
He's a legislator, not a press hound. He isn't doing things for the purpose of getting known, he's doing things for the purpose of having an impact.
Howard Berman

John Curtis
For the sole purpose of financial, professional or personal gain.
Phill Kline

Norman Baker
The purpose of this ordinance is to increase certification pay.
