Thomas Quotations | Page 4

He's too close - he lived well into the 20th Century, ... If you look at Thomas Jefferson and presidents and Robert E. Lee and many other southerners ... They haven't been damaged. No one is going to purge Thomas Jefferson or George Washington as slave owners ... Griffith has been knocked down for propaganda - he's closer to the 20th Century. America would have a trauma if it had to purge and get rid of its founding fathers that were slave owners.

I didn't realise the numbers were quite that good. To beat Thomas is a great win for me and I'm delighted.

Certainly this whole thing continuing is disturbing to my family. But setting that aside, I think public policy is not well served for this to continue, for the reasons Andy Thomas gave when he testified.

Chef Thomas Keller was an inspiration to me and many, many young cooks like me. He told us that the role of the new, modern chef is different.

Homeland Security issues warnings of further terrorist attempts to use airplanes for suicide attacks. Number five. December 17, 2003. 9/11 Commission co-chair Thomas Keane says the attacks were preventable. The next day, a federal appeals court says the government cannot detain suspected radiation bomber Jose Padilla indefinitely without charges. And the chief U.S. weapons inspector in Iraq, Dr. David Kay, who has previously announced he has found no weapons of mass destruction there, announces he will resign his post. December 21, 2003. Four days later, the Sunday before Christmas:

Generations of devoted American history buffs have spent countless hours reading and writing long books about the American Revolution without ever having come across the name of Dr. Thomas Young. Yet it was Young who came up with the idea for the original tea party - the one in Boston Harbor.

Geddy Lee and I went to the same grade school. He moved away when we were still young, but I remember him like I do all my friends from back then. Then in 1982, Dave Thomas and I were approached to do a record as the McKenzie Brothers on Anthem Records, the same label that Rush was on.

If he issues rulings as Sandra Day O'Connor did, it will be no issue at all. But if he goes to the court and comes forward with rulings such as we've seen from Justices Scalia and Thomas time and again, it will be an issue.

If he is a Rehnquist, that would not be a cause for exultation in my book, but it would not be a cause for alarm. The court's balance will not be altered. But there is a reasonable danger that he will be like Justice Thomas, the most radical justice on the Supreme Court. It is not that I am certain that he will be a Thomas, it's not even that it's more than 50 percent, but the risk that he might be a Thomas and the lack of any reassurance that he won't, particularly in light of this president's professed desire to nominate people in that mold, is just not good enough. I hope he will not be a Justice Thomas but the risk is too great to bear.

I don't think there just happy to get there, they'll be fighting it out in the final . . . I'll be surprised if they don't. We're going to play a good team though. They'll be as good as any team we've played this year. St. Thomas More and Duchess Park are both really good teams. We haven't played them.

How the Democrats handle themselves will have an impact on how they're remembered by their constituents. I think certainly constituents remembered how some of their senators voted on the Clarence Thomas confirmation and punished some of them for their votes.

The Trouble With Tom: The Strange Afterlife and Times of Thomas Paine

This is my home turf. I'm from Worthington, my daughter plays junior varsity at Thomas and (Thomas coach Joe Abraham) and I are longtime friends. They were nice enough to extend an invitation to us.

This is a guy whose skill level and his presence in a lineup is undeniable. Even last year, if you look at the impact he had in the brief time he played, his skills are still there. Frank Thomas is a presence.

Along this corridor of history stand a lakeside tavern that once sheltered Thomas Jefferson and James Madison, a house in which George Washington and Benjamin Franklin took supper and the high walls and stone barracks of the largest fort the British ever built in North America,

Alex is a receiver. He has those natural hands. Thomas (III) is more reserved like me. Alex has that personality of wanting to be on stage. People want to be around him.

Alexander Hamilton and Thomas Jefferson hated each other so much. But that hate that they had for each other did not come before the love of their country.

The greatest Electrical Pioneer of them all was Thomas Edison... Edison's first major invention, in 1877, was the phonograph, which could soon be found in thousands of American homes, where it basically sat until 1923, when the record was invented.

Anders Thomas Jensen and I had talked about making a movie which addressed the cancer issue, and we didn't want to make it heavy-handed. We wanted to do something which had a lot of hope in it. And then for some reason we came up with a romantic comedy.

No doubt President Jefferson was brilliant - probably the key author of the American constitution. But the PNP and Jamaica have our own Thomas Jefferson ... former leader and Premier Norman Washington Manley. Indeed Norman Washington Manley was better - note the word

I was raised in the Washington household of my grandfather Senator Thomas P. Gore of Oklahoma, and have known politicians intimately all my life.

Well, let me tell you something; I knew Thomas Jefferson. He was a friend of mine and Governor. . . . You're no Thomas Jefferson!
