People have asked me a lot of times, because I didn't hit a lot, how long a dozen bats would last me. Depending on the weight and model I was using at that time - I would say eight to 10 cookouts.
The Germans have done wonderful work. Not long ago, a German battle group battalion conducted a very impressive counterinsurgency operation in a portion of Baghlan province. I think these are the first counterinsurgency operations conducted by any German element after World War II. And they did a very impressive job.
The battle for the individual rights of women is one of long standing and none of us should countenance anything which undermines it.
Reconstruction was a vast labor movement of ignorant, muddled, and bewildered white men who had been disinherited of land and labor and fought a long battle with sheer subsistence, hanging on the edge of poverty, eating clay and chasing slaves and now lurching up to manhood.
But it is neither cannon nor bayonet that will do the worst damage to this city. No, this place will remember the war against our government just as long as there are inhabitants here.
You can build a throne with bayonets, but you can't sit on it for long.
It is of no consequence of what parents a man is born, as long as he be a man of merit.
A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.
I'm a very positive person, but this whole concept of having to always be nice, always smiling, always happy, that's not real. It was like I was wearing a mask. I was becoming this perfectly chiselled sculpture, and that was bad. That took a long time to understand.
It's not all fine and dandy, but a smile can go a long way. Show some love, be patient, and this world will be a much better place.
We are tired of being beaten by policemen. We are tired of seeing our people locked up in jails over and over again. And then you holler, 'Be patient.' How long can we be patient?
I'm not sure what a conservative is. I don't know whether a conservative is a guy that goes to bed too early or maybe doesn't sleep long enough or just what the hell he might be. I don't know. Maybe he's a guy that - you know, he just wants to be real quiet.
I like to think that the Grand Prix helped Long Beach to pretty much change its image.
Long Beach is the best. I tell everyone that.
As long as I have beaches, some good friends around me, it's 75 degrees and sunny, I'm good.
I take a lot of pride being a beacon of hope for people who haven't achieved what they wanted to achieve even though they've had to wait a very long time to do it.
I'd challenge myself to see how long I could go without a fall - on beam, I once went three weeks.
Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don't have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.
I never thought that the long haired, bearded guy I married in law school would end up being President.
I am sometimes sad when I hear the personal stories of Tibetan refugees who have been tortured or beaten. Some irritation, some anger comes. But it never lasts long. I always try to think at a deeper level, to find ways to console.
