Age Quotes
I was one of those children forced into fighting at the age of 13, in my country Sierra Leone, a war that claimed the lives of my mother, father and two brothers.

Diets And Dieting Quotes
The people I saw used the diet gained the weight back. People like to hear good new about their bad habits. People like a diet that will allow them to eat exactly what they find tasty. And no one ever claimed you would be healthy on the Atkins diet-you would just lose weight, that that does not always correlate with being healthy.

Books And Reading Quotes
Mike Royko, of course a famous local journalist, in one of his books about Mayor Daley claimed that not only did the mayor not want the expressway going through Bridgeport, but he also wanted to keep a specific divider between the whites and the blacks.

Act Quotes
More than half the states now require passage of a test before awarding a high school diploma. Proponents claimed this additional hurdle would 'raise the bar' for educational quality.

Buzz Quotes
Pope Benedict XVI's resignation is big on buzz but is not the stunning surprise claimed by many pundits.

Chance Quotes
No. 1, we claimed him because we think he's a very talented player. He's got size, speed, quickness. No. 2, we feel we can have success with guys who are looking for another chance to do well. I think we can relate to that and understand that, and hopefully help him recognize what his abilities are.

Anybody Quotes
I came to Rutgers to try to build Rutgers to become the jewel of the East. I really think a lot of people got bent out of shape thinking that we claimed to be the jewel of the East. I don't know where you're going to get 'jewel' when you are undiscovered and unpolished. What we hoped to do was become the jewel of the East. I think anybody who loves competition has to appreciate someone who is going to push the envelope a little bit in terms of competing.

Against Quotes
Fujimori has repeatedly claimed that there is no evidence against him and that these charges are nothing more than political persecution.

Achieved Quotes
Whatever I've heard out there, whether Dr. Sessoms was changing the face of Delaware State or anything of that nature, to me was only hearsay. Nobody in our branch has claimed that any of the issues had any weight. He has achieved a lot of things over the past two years. We plan to spread some of the message that Sessoms' has presented to us about everything going on at DelState.

Book Quotes
I was a good college kid, all-American and baseball-playing, living in the dorms with a million barbarians. I did not expect to be claimed by Fitzgerald hook, line, and sinker. 'This Side of Paradise' - that sweet, sophomoric pastiche of notes, scenes, poetry, and plays - I felt like he'd written the book just for me.

Ask Quotes
I think we should teach a lot about evolution. In fact, I think we should teach more than the evolutionary science teachers want the students to know. The problem is what we're getting is a philosophy that's claimed to be scientific fact, a lot of distortion in the textbooks, and all the difficult problems left out, because they don't want people to ask tough questions.

Accentuate Quotes
Renewable power mandates merely accentuate the inefficiency and cost premiums attached to so-called renewable power sources. If renewable power saved consumers money, created jobs, or carried any of the other economic benefits so frequently claimed by environmental activists, then government would not have to pass a law to force power companies to purchase it or consumers to buy it.

Good Quotes
John would usually do a poem in one take. He claimed to be completely unmusical, but he wasn't really. He liked Victorian hymns and music-hall. I never heard him mention contemporary pop music, but we had in some really good rock-guitar session men and he was very happy with that. He would just sit there and look around. He seemed to think everyone was doing a good job and seemed very happy with proceedings.

Began Quotes
First, Bush went on TV and gave his personal testimony.

Both Quotes
Both drivers put in a faultless performance today which should have given the team maximum points. Kimi claimed his win in a disciplined and controlled manner in very difficult conditions. Juan Pablo was the innocent victim of other people's mistakes but this should not distract from his race which was executed with true team spirit. We of course take some satisfaction from winning eight of the last 11 Grands Prix. As you can imagine we are looking forward to Brazil in a positive frame of mind.
