It is by no means enough that an officer be capable...He should be a gentleman of liberal education, refined, manners, punctilious courtesy, and the nicest sense of personal honor...

The act of repeating erroneously the words of another.

The act of putting into your mouth what the earth has grown is perhaps your most direct interaction with the earth.

The act of leaking my wife's name to the press was a political act.

The act of exercising at 6 A.M. really helped me. It made me not dread the workout part of my day all day long. Also, when I went to have a tiny cheat, I would really think back to how hard I worked and thought, 'It is not worth going to boot camp an extra week over one peanut butter cup.'

The act of building a dome costs you $150 million right off the top. The attendance effect you get from having a domed stadium is way too small to justify the additional costs. You'd have to think 50 percent of attendance is at stake without a dome for it to make sense.

The act of building a dome costs you $150 million right off the top, ... The attendance effect you get from having a domed stadium is way too small to justify the additional costs. You'd have to think 50 percent of attendance is at stake without a dome for it to make sense.

The ACT, I think, is a better test for students who are what I call applied learners, ... The ACT gives them information, and asks them questions about it, and asks them to do something with it rather than just regurgitating information. If they just do a couple of points better (on one) than the other, sometimes it's worth their while.

The act is stronger than the endangered species laws. There is no wiggle room.

That will be a great event with a well-known act coming through the area.

That was a great race (200 backstroke) for Helen, and Ashley had a great meet for us. Those two are a huge reason why we're in the position that we're in. Their leadership and how they act and their drive have really helped up us.

I was on tour with Miles Davis, and we had a gig to play at a theater in Los Angeles in 1965. And the opening act was the Aretha Franklin Jazz Trio. She was this young artist and she played sort of funky jazz piano with an upright bassist and a drummer. Then she sang, and she blew the roof off the place. The rest is history. I'd rate her up there with Zeus.

I would love to act for the rest of my life, but I also know that it could be taken away in a day. It's something I've always loved, but it's nothing I've ever revolved my entire life around. I have many other passions as well.

Most nor'easters we get generally don't get their act together until they're well past us. So we don't get big snowfalls. This was just the perfect positioning.

Why was it expending precious resources hunting for ways that allow operators to use hazardous belt air to ventilate miners' working sections instead of protecting trapped miners?

While the Endangered Species Act has failed miserably at saving rare plants and animals, it has excelled in making life miserable for many in the human population.

We don't endeavor to manipulate the bond market to act as a proxy, ... The major reason is we wouldn't know how.

While any decline is encouraging, we remain concerned because too many people continue to act out their anti-Jewish hatred. We have always said that America is different, that the Jewish communities here are fortunate to be largely immune from the kind of anti-Semitic violence experienced by some European Jewish communities. The numbers remain sobering because we know from painful experience that it only takes one incident of anti-Semitism to affect an entire community.

Without a way to legally enforce these guidelines under law, it's a good bet that the drug industry will continue giving short shrift to side effects and safety concerns in its advertising.

without an agreement ... because after serious discussions we discovered the other side did not act like real partners for peace.

Without a doubt, the 1996 Telecom Act has by far a larger impact on the media industry than this deal. This is just the gnat on the back of the Telecom Act,

We have a great relationship with our label. We do have the creative freedom. For She Falls Asleep (a track on Wonderland) they paid for a 60-piece symphony orchestra. There are no guitars and drums on it. I don't think there is any other pop act that has that kind of freedom, and that is what separates us from the others. We are a proper pop band, and it's all our work. We are not a brand created to sell to kids, which makes us different from some of the other s**t out there.
