Animated Series Quotes
It was cool to me, as a fan of the comics, to see some of the villains that end up finding them there, and the way that they abuse Coulson before the superheroes come. I'm always, in the movies or in the animated series, getting into trouble that a superhero has to bail me out of.

Culture Quotes
Dining out is a vice, a dissipation of spirit punished by remorse. We eat, drink, and talk a little too much, abuse all our friends, belch out our literary preferences and are egged on by accomplices in the audience to acts of mental exhibitionism. Such evenings cannot fail to diminish those who take part in them. They end on Monkey Hill.
-
People Quotes
When ordinary people wake up, elites begin to tremble in their boots. They can't get away with their abuse. They can't get away with subjection. They can't get away with subjugation. They can't get away with exploitation. They can't get away with domination. It takes courage for folk to stand up.
-
Accepted Quotes
When our leaders allow and even encourage abuse at the 'outer limits', America suffers. A nation that works to bring freedom and liberty to other parts of the world shouldn't stomach brutality and inhumanity within its ranks. This abuse of power was engineered and accepted at the highest levels of our government.
-
Alive Quotes
We would like to know what happened, and one scenario is that Toga is no longer with us. The opposition is that somebody who knew what they were doing actually stole him for a private collector. In that case, there's a possibility that Toga is still alive somewhere. We prefer to think of that option, but to be honest, we may never know. We've had to increase our security here so much, which is such a shame that people abuse the trust and health of these animals in such a way.
-
Anytime Quotes
We keep finding out the hard way that private property rights aren't quite as sacred to some as they used to be. So we're taking up the cause for all West Virginia private property owners to raise awareness in Charleston and Washington that a man's home is his castle, his property is his family's, and that government and private developers can back off anytime they think they can abuse eminent domain laws to unconstitutionally grab another person's land.
-
Carriers Quotes

Billion Quotes

-
Agreed Quotes
We all agreed that in order for it to happen there had to be some give here and there. I think one of the big ones was Tom understanding the situation and me giving him my utmost word that while I am out here I am going to be training hard and things are going to work out for the best and not to worry about it. ... It is difficult for him to just let a player go whenever he wants to go home. So I won't abuse the system.
-
Careful Quotes
Very frankly, I think the courts need to find a way to respect the Constitution and defend our children. And we've got to be very careful that we don't energize individuals whose object it is to abuse the children of America, and to have that happen on the Internet, ... Larry King Live.

Baseball Quotes
There is nothing much better than going to a baseball game, getting a decent seat with a nice view (for one tenth of the price of a seat at Stamford Bridge) and enjoying a game with a beer in one hand and a NY-style hot dog in the other - and no chance of some idiot behind me shouting abuse or spitting obsenities at me (I am a Celtic supporter, I'm used to both).
-
Allow Quotes
Entertaining customers is a cost of doing business. The reason it was limited is it was being abused. As soon as you allow businesses to deduct costs, the big question arises what is costs should be deductible. You might see luxury boxes as abuse of that provision, but at least all businesses can utilize the entertainment deduction in some way.
-
Affects Quotes
I urge everyone to offer their support to recovering addicts during this time of year, and to recognize that substance abuse affects people from all walks of life. For recovering alcoholics like myself, New Year's Eve threatens our chance to reclaim our lives. With support, however, recovering addicts can continue on their path to sobriety.
-
Accompany Quotes
The sheer economic power created by this mega-combination, and the opportunities for abuse that would accompany it, outweigh the very limited public interest benefits that either the applicants or the majority find here. The more I review the issues at stake in this proposal, the more I am persuaded it should not go forward.
-
Authorized Quotes
These documents confirm that the torture of detainees and its subsequent cover-up was part of a larger clandestine operation, in all likelihood, authorized by senior government officials. Despite mounting evidence of systemic abuse authorized or endorsed from above, however, not a single high level official has thus far been brought to justice.
-
Cases Quotes
The state we're in now is because of the policy decision to co-opt those people who in the past committed human rights abuses. There's a culture of impunity. They continue in many cases to abuse the rights of people under them. There are drug problems in the north, tribal problems, sheer criminality.
-
Academic Quotes

-
Act Quotes
The signing statement makes clear that the president will faithfully execute the law in a manner that is consistent with the Constitution. The president has welcomed at least seven Inspector General reports on the Patriot Act since it was first passed, and there has not been one verified abuse of civil liberties using the Patriot Act.
-
Activity Quotes
Running 26 miles is quite a commitment. Just to be able to say that your body can handle that kind of abuse is a badge of honor. I thought the club was a wonderful idea. It's a good way for the students to channel their energies, and running is a lifelong activity they can do forever.
-
Blaming Quotes
Stop...Look...Listen...Stop thinking of yourself...Look into the painful smile of an innocent child.... and Listen to their voiceless cry for help. Child abuse is about the victim and not about those that want to cover it up. So Grow Up and Stop Blaming the Innocent Victim." Patty Rase Hopson
-
Animal Quotes
Animal abuse is rampant in the U.S., right under everyone's eyes, for the entertainment of the public. The brutal confinement and pain of training methods of wild animals in the circus, the aquatic and theatrical shows, leads to retaliation by the animals. Eventually they find the right time to strike out, and they will.
-
Feels Quotes
As an actor, you just want to work, and then you just want to be on a show or have a job that you love, and you hope that job will last - those things have happened. To have that platform to then talk about something that is very personal to me like marriage equality, it feels like a gift. I try and really respect that voice and not abuse it.
-
Club Quotes
As an ex-stand up, I can tell you that a comedy club isn't a place you go looking to get the abuse you just can't seem to find in daily life. The stage is a performer's domain. You protect that domain. You are not on stage to take what's given just 'cause you're getting paid. If you are attacked, you retaliate.
-
Advance Quotes
This is another predictable report by an organization trying to advance an agenda through the use of distortions and errors in fact, ... It's a shame they refuse to convey how seriously the military has investigated all known credible allegations of detainee abuse and how we've looked at all aspects of detention operations under a microscope. . . . Humane treatment has always been the standard no matter how much certain organizations want people to believe otherwise.
-
Against Quotes

-
Believe Quotes
They didn't start out bad. At some point they surrendered their critical thinking skills to Berg, who was a pedophile and a dirty old man. Unfortunately for me my parents signed on to his religion.

-
Children Quotes
It is true that some will experience an improvement in the quality of their lives, we can't deny that. But our research shows that over half of them report some form of abuse - physical or sexual. The pay and the hours are appalling, as are their working conditions, the treatment meted out to them and the humiliating language used towards them. Children are inherently vulnerable when they are taken to live and work in someone else's home.
-
Affect Quotes
Then they started telling me stories about how this abuse didn't just affect them. It affected their children when they went to school, when they went to go play hockey. It wasn't just something that happened at work and then it was done. It really bled into the community and there was just this constant fight.
-
Bodies Quotes
It's the correct decision. I've had tremendous confidence since I filed the lawsuit. It was such a clear-cut abuse of the tort fund. Because of this decision, the taxing bodies may have to pay 15 to 20 percent of the more than $1 million that was illegally used to the estimated 2,000 taxpayers who joined the lawsuit.
