The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession.

Mark Twain

The universal brotherhood of man is our most precious possession, what there is of it.

In this way, the emotions presented have transcended the levels of a gay story and become universal.

Liang Liang

We need another and a wiser and perhaps a more mystical concept of animals.

We patronize them for their incompleteness, for their tragic fate of having taken form so far below ourselves.

Henry Beston

I hope we are improving by our standards. Whether we are improving by your standards or American standards is a different question. Our responsibility is to Singaporeans, and what we do here should meet their approval. There are no universal prescriptions.

For me, the big subject is not what my husband in the film (Daniel Auteuil) has done as a child, but in not recognizing his fault, he's damaged someone's life.

Deborah Tate

Commercial jazz, soap opera, pulp fiction, comic strips, the movies set the images, mannerisms, standards, and aims of the urban masses. In one way or another, everyone is equal before these cultural machines; like technology itself, the mass media are nearly universal in their incidence and appeal. They are a kind of common denominator, a kind of scheme for pre-scheduled, mass emotions.

C. Wright Mills

I'm expecting something like 10,000 in sales in the first 14-day period, and that's what (Universal) is expecting. Once we put up 10,000 units on the board, we'll get on a national tour. Come January, you have the band more than 100,000 (in sales) and on its way to gold. Come June you're on tour with another up-and-comer and approaching platinum.

Ken Cooper

Las Vegas had an influence on this decision, but we have been studying a one-market pass since the authority was created (in February 2001).

Brian Higgins

Unfortunately, healthcare does not have a universal identification system for people like many other industries do. The nation must arrive at a standard for authenticating a patient's identity.

Which makes this picture for Universal and for Working Title a hugely profitable endeavor.

Nikki Rocco

He has a story to tell that is universal, and he wants the viewer to understand this is mankind's problem, that we're all in this together. It's more about what's happening in the painting rather than who it is happening to.

Ann Hart

The plan is stupid because it's subsidizing Chevy Chase, Md., and Greenwich, Conn., as well as the inner cities. Universal service was never meant to subsidize places where the average price of a house is $800,000.

Jerry Hausman

We all have genes. This is a universal issue. It is something that impacts everyone.

Judd Gregg

It would be historical to have a Southern state endorse universal health care and medicine for all. This is a life-and-death crisis for many people.

Joel Segal

A cap of good acid costs five dollars and for that you can hear the Universal Symphony with God singing solo and the Holy Ghost on drums.

Hunter S. Thompson

These colors don't have a universal appeal and completely alienated their core baby-boomer customer.

Jennifer Black

The mathematics of rhythm are universal. They don't belong to any particular culture.

John Mclaughlin

She came preaching universal holiness in a universally unholy time.

David Scott

The need for masks seems to be universal, around the globe and throughout time. It's not a dead thing.

David Bishop

You'll see humor, but it will be universal.

John Osborn

Listen to people during intermission or leaving the theater, and you'll hear them relating their own horrific travel stories. The show captures a fun and painful time that is universal. Sadly, today this classic kids-in-the-station-wagon sort of vacation is becoming a thing of the past.

Spike Manton

Since we can't track people with tracking devices, like we do animals, we needed to get data that provided us with millions of movements of individuals. What is amazing about these particular scaling laws is the fact that they are determined by two universal parameters only. This result surprised us all.

Lars Hufnagel

Before I get to the point, let me say that I'm encouraged that Apple has managed its transition to Intel processors so rapidly. So far, the number of glitches with the new hardware appears to be small, fundamental compatibility is good, and the number of Universal applications continues to increase rapidly. Apple's own product guide lists over 1,000.

Gene Steinberg

The lover knows much more about absolute good and universal beauty than any logician or theologian, unless the latter, too, be lovers in disguise.

George Santayana

That was the argument for the universal 55 mph speed limit during the gas shortages of the '70s.

Alex Fowler

Florida is very proud of what we've been able to accomplish in offering universal pre-kindergarten to all children. At this point we are not even through the first year of the program and yet we've already enrolled over 105,000 children.

Warren May

I will take a weekend when Universal owns over one third of the total market share for the top anytime.

Nikki Rocco

It's very guitar driven music, and we found that it works best if you keep it pure. Vocals lead to controversy over what language to use-English or Spanish. Either way, you alienate part of your audience. The instrumental music is universal.

Jeremy Garcia

We could have trade agreements that benefit working people. We could have universal health care. We could have a minimum wage that keeps up with inflation.
