Pete Best

When the guild was first founded, it was more social in a way, although they did things on a big scale to make money. One thing they did: They wrote to movie stars and had on the stage an auction. Like a scarf from somebody and a shoe from somebody else.

Robin Kohn

What women often wrote about their fears was that breast cancer might cut short their time to enjoy family and be around for important milestones as their children grow older.

Stephen Asma

On the Internet there are no boundaries, there are no doors, there are no countries and lines; it's just the Internet, wide open and if somebody feels like hacking a website, they're just going to do it.

Mike Willis

Joi Ito

August's accomplishments are unsurpassed - to me, the only writer to come close is Shakespeare, ... He has been the epitome of American theater for the last 23 years. He's defined it. His plays not only serve an artistic purpose, but they also serve a social purpose because they look at ourselves as Americans.

Kenny Leon

If we ever needed more of a reason not to do Social Security reform, this is it, because of the cost required. It's going to be a question of priorities, a question of whether Republicans are going to want to stand on the Senate floor and support more tax cuts for the wealthy.

Jim Manley

It's almost like a social gathering. Everybody comes out to show their suits off, to strut their stuff. I consider it like a battle, and the suit's the weapon. It's all about being pretty.

Jim Gilmore

I'm drawn to plays with huge canvases and huge casts, and this is the prototype of that kind of play. There's a kind of energy in this play that you don't associate with social drama as a rule.

This decision is a manifestation of our commitment to the Constitution and social justice.

Linda Hunter

They learn social skills and deal with language impediments. A lot of these are cognitively impaired students who have real-life scenarios they're being confronted with here.

Dan Rather

My father was kind of a local pillar of the community, a high-school teacher and football coach. He was always very politically knowledgeable because he was a social studies teacher. But in terms of his activism, it was more social and charitable in nature, rather than political.

William Baldwin

In all the affairs of life, social as well as political, courtesies of a small and trivial character are the ones which strike deepest to the grateful and appreciating heart.

Cui Zi'en

The families have become the doctors, the nurses and the social workers.

Dr. John Talbott

The money the president wants to borrow for Iraq will come directly out of the American taxpayer wallets in the form of Medicare and Social Security receipts that's your money.

Robert C. Byrd

Lorne Calvert

Those of us who work with the Ethnic Support Council would be criminals. Most people in social service agencies would be criminals.

Wes Johnson

I believe this is a governor who at his core is a libertarian on issues of social matters, ... and that he is very fair-minded. I think he also takes the longer, rather than shorter, view of history.

Mark Leno

If they've pretty much given up on Social Security then what other choice do they have? Whether or not it's politically feasible remains to be seen, but at least it will use up some of the oxygen in the room and crowd out bad ideas.

Dan Mitchell

The social and economic toll of drug abuse worldwide is staggering. We feel honored to be selected to manage this important project. Improving the availability and effectiveness of drug rehabilitation services through the UNODC network will make a real difference in many, many lives.

Richard Rawson

China is becoming ever more socially unstable. To maintain social stability, Beijing will certainly adopt more suppressive measures.

Sebastian Briozzo

Even the smaller bedrooms, which will be presumably for the freshmen and sophomore suites, will be large enough so that all the University-provided furniture will fit in them. The junior/senior bedrooms will be large enough so that you can put all the University-provided furniture on the floor with bunked beds and still have a living room to have social furniture in.

Jon Hlafter

Play is a very important part, ... Kindergarten education play is a way in which children learn. And children learn a lot of social skills through those things.

David Elkind

There is no social entity with a good that undergoes some sacrifice for its own good. There are only individual people, different individual people, with their own individual lives. Using one of these people for the benefit of others, uses him and benefits the others. Nothing more.

Robert Nozick

I've told my staff we are going to keep all options open. I'm not saying yes or no at this point, ... It's well and good to say the average gain [in an investment account] would be higher than if you left it in Social Security, but there's a definite certainty to Social Security. When you're in the market, you're subject to the whims of the market.

Our personal consumer choices have ecological, social, and spiritual consequences. It is time to re-examine some of our deeply held notions that underlie our lifestyles.

David Suzuki

We had someone come the other day, and Alice was meeting two dogs and wagging her tail, and she came up to this person very quickly. She is still cautious and a little shy but makes friends quickly. She is confident, healthy, happy, social and loyal. She comes immediately when called, can be walked off-leash, knows basic commands and is very well-behaved. It's so encouraging.

Christine Martin

My father was a very social person, and between the two of them, they had a worldwide collection of friends.

Deborah Tibbitt

He could kill me in a second, and I know that. But at the same time, bears are very social animals. They will stay with mother until 3 years old. They want to have that relationship with those who raised them. We don't have to be heavy-handed with them. That will develop an aggression we don't want to have to deal with. It's all bonding and reward and his desire to please the ones he really loves.

Casey Anderson

When the Dodgers left, it was not only a loss of a team, it was the disruption of a social pattern. A total destruction of a culture.

Joe Flaherty

As prime minister, Timoshenko pursued populist policies, increasing pensions and social assistance payments.

Lisa Sampson

We are looking at that next budget because, as much as this budget did to fund projects and some other things, it didn't fund a single additional social worker to keep up with state government's child protective services demand.

André Glucksmann

I hadn't ever really planned on owning a house again because I'm on social security.

Jay Falk

I have plenty of political views and plenty of social and personal prejudices. I do not, however, value them.

Ron Walters

When the courts decide that murderers, rapists, and others who maliciously break our social contract deserve health care that most working Americans can't afford, they are condemning good people to death.

Tammy Bruce

Log Cabin's accounting shell game will not cover up Grover's act of utter betrayal of the Reagan coalition of social and fiscal conservatives.

Gary Glenn

The land reform program has been a disaster. It was a necessary process -- we needed to redistribute to deal with historical factors -- but because it was ad hoc, violent and destructive, it didn't result in economic growth and social integration.

Brian Nkarogo

You have 'fiscal Republicans' who see this differently from the social conservatives, ... You have a gleeful media and gleeful Democrats who have found a wedge issue and are trying to exploit it. Here we are, sitting in the conservative Midwest, and I can't get this through the legislature. It's an intriguing, baffling political situation.

Matt Bartle

This project is about the social good of promoting and sharing knowledge. As a university, we have no other choice but to do this project.

Barbara Mikulski

Mr. Ruebhausen was a man who was deeply interested in social justice, who wanted to make the Yale Law School even better in terms of social justice and international atmosphere. His commitment to that formed a great part of his very successful life.

Andrea Dworkin

New social host liability laws provide that adults who serve or supply alcohol to persons under 21 can be held liable if any of those persons are killed or injured. They could be charged for medical bills, property damage and can be sued for emotional pain and suffering.

Todd Holmes

It's like the best social-service program in the world. It's not costing the taxpayers anything. It's the criminals.

Jenny Wieland

Our young black men are falling victim to some anti-social behavior. Our kids are going to find acceptance somewhere. We have to ask what is going on in our community that these kids found themselves somewhere they didn't need to be.

Al Rogers

We're able to leverage a lot of that experience about how to take social networking and put it on a device.

John Evans

Booster seats are becoming the social norm.

Suzanne Hill

We need to have social scientists working with disaster planners so that evacuation plans are realistic and actually work in the short time frame we may have available.

Harry Yeh

I would be devastated if my son could not have music as part of his curriculum in school. It should not be a choice between culture and technical training - well-rounded students and graduates will make appropriate choices for their careers, but they must also be trained to make appropriate social choices.

David Cassidy

At the same time, we've had very little increase in minimum wage, we've had continuing growth with respect to marginal jobs and social assistance rates haven't gone up.

Gordon Young

The drive to privatize, or really personalize, Social Security simply proves that small business owners want to regain control of their money from the federal government.

Sharon Miller

This is not a mistake. It was the explicit intent of Congress to expand coverage to working families. The original sin of social policy was tying Medicaid directly to welfare. Now, it's tied to working.

Habitat and the NAACP have such similar values and principles, that this is a natural partnership. Both are committed to giving people a hand up, to social justice issues, to ensuring that everyone has equal access and opportunity, whether it is to housing or anything else.

Jonathan Reckford

I'm incapable of writing without social commentary. I like to think that it's integrated and not really heavy handedly didactic.

John Shirley

Global companies' performance on environmental, social and governance (ESG) issues is rapidly becoming more critical to their competitiveness, profitability and share price. The Global 100 companies showcased here have already demonstrated that sustainability premium, and we believe that they are positioned to reward their investors even more heavily in the future.

Matthew Kiernan

As well as the books for parents, we buy educational books for the children and little gift bags. At this year's social, we and other parents will also be sharing information about the medical aspects of Down syndrome, including therapy programs.

Marianne Flanagan

This one goes beyond just the game and in some ways it's great and in some ways I hate it. It's like a social event. Everyone wants to go to the Central game. I can't quite understand why everybody doesn't want to go to every game, but it is a lot of fun.

Brad Jackson

We hope that the political courage that Republican House members showed today will be a sign to those in the party who seek to promote a divisive social agenda -- your days are numbered. We have always known that history and common decency were on our side, and today's vote proves that.

Chris Barron

Proper nutrition doesn't solve all of our social problems, but it makes all the others more manageable. The state that prides itself in the production of food should make sure that nobody goes hungry for lack of resources.

Kevin Concannon

The environmental impact statement explores all the social, environmental and economic impacts -- benefits and negative, short-term and long-term.

Daniel Spitzer

We hope to provide an open platform so that trade union organizations from different social backgrounds and ideologies can freely exchange views and seek more opportunities for co-operation.

I can-with my plan-these are Social Security Administration numbers, they ran my numbers-get us to full solvency within 75 years and beyond for less than the $3.7 trillion debt that we're already in.

Chuck Hagel

The problem with all these scattered rhinos is that, because they are being poached, they are so far apart that they are not carrying out the social functions like breeding.

Christy Williams

AIDS prevention work is an issue relating to the quality of the population, economic development, social stability and the rise or decline of the country.

Gao Qiang

On gay marriage, for instance, Democrats were all over the lot on the issue. Republicans used it to sharpen their message - that this is what we stand for on this and all these other social, moral values as well.

Donald Greenberg

The legislature seems to have included gay people in our entire social construct. In light of that, what is the state's legitimate objective in not allowing marriage?

Justice Barry Albin

The Social Security surplus is always being spent. Now it's going to defense and rebuilding rather than paying down debt. From a psychological standpoint, spending it may even be good for privatization. Opponents might use that surplus as a hedge, saying we've got money in a lock-box and don't need to privatize.

Michael Tanner

The Social Security numbers on the packages had no formatting that would make them stand out, and no one would have been able to easily identify them as a Social Security number.

Denise Sposato

They feel empowered, because they get a voice with the company. But more importantly for moms, they get to nurture their social networks by telling their friends and families about products that are relevant to their lives.

Robyn Schroeder
