A ship in port is safe, but that's not what ships are built for.
‐‐ Grace Hopper
A ship is always referred to as 'she' because it costs so much to keep one in paint and powder.
‐‐ Chester W. Nimitz
A ship's engine far away on the water expands the summer-night horizon. Both joy and sorrow swell in the dew's magnifying glass. Without really knowing, we divine; our life has a sister ship, following quietly another route. While the sun blazes behind the islands.

A shoe has so much more to offer than just to walk.

A shoe is not only a design, but it's a part of your body language, the way you walk. The way you're going to move is quite dictated by your shoes.
‐‐ Christian Louboutin
A short cut to riches is to subtract from our desires.
‐‐ Petrarch
A short exposure to the convention convinced me that the Internet may save the Democracy in that it is a way for the people, for the citizens, to have some direct influence on the government.
‐‐ John Jay Hooker
A short film is just another storytelling medium like TV, Features, and Webisodes. I am just thrilled that 'Silent Cargo' is getting out there for people to see.
‐‐ Ellen Wong
A short, glorious life in service of a greater good - say, the life of the Spartans at Thermopylae, or the pilots in the Battle of Britain, of whom Winston Churchill said 'Never have so many owed so much to so few,' - that is worth praising. But for glory alone? I think not.
‐‐ Tim O'Reilly
A short piece of work means as much to me as a long piece of work.

A short saying often contains much wisdom.
‐‐ Sophocles
A short squeeze could happen with the U.S. dollar if lenders suddenly forced debtors to pay in cash.

A short story can be packed with meaning and impact, with the concentrated density of a collapsed star, but should preferably also have a kind of elegant simplicity.
‐‐ Jeffrey Thomas
A short story is something that I think can be intuited and envisioned and held in your mind almost at once.

‐‐ Thomas Sowell
A shot is only as every as good as how well it tells the story.
‐‐ Simon Baker
A show can be artistically successful; a show can be financially successful; a show can be successful by the transformative experience the audience is having; a show can be successful from the point of view of what is experienced by the cast and the company on a daily basis.
‐‐ David Binder
A show is like having a climax. It's like having an incredible, natural climax. And then suddenly it's all finished, and you don't know what to do next.
‐‐ Rod Stewart
A show like 'True Detective' is definitely a drama.
‐‐ John Wells
A show needs time to find an audience, and they're very quick to pull them off the air now.
‐‐ Bruce Boxleitner
A show that no one thought had a chance has just finished its fifth year: Charmed. I think it's tougher for the younger networks, so I think they have a little more patience for the sake of the show. But who knows?
‐‐ Aaron Spelling
A shy kid might look longingly at other kids playing in the schoolyard, afraid and unsure about how to approach them, but an introvert is perfectly content on her own.
‐‐ Laurie Helgoe
A siege is an act of war.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
A sight game is that I am hurt, but I aim to make you believe I am not even hurt, and with this confidence appearing on my face, I don't panic, otherwise your opponent will know that you are hurt. That's the whole art game in boxing.
‐‐ Evander Holyfield
A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece, anywhere, is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously.
‐‐ Andy Samberg
A sign of celebrity is that his name is often worth more than his services.
‐‐ Daniel J. Boorstin
A sign that a peace association is going adrift is its exclusion of other political parties, with whom it could collaborate effectively on most of the problems besetting the cause of peace.
‐‐ Fredrik Bajer
A sign that negotiations were handled well on both sides is that everybody probably feels a little bit like they didn't get what they wanted.
‐‐ Christopher Lloyd
A sign to me is a one-liner, a symbol is very complex and my house is a series of symbols.
‐‐ Charles Jencks
A signal is comprehended if it serves to make us notice the object or situation it bespeaks. A symbol is understood when we conceive the idea it presents.
‐‐ Susanne Langer
A signature always reveals a man's character - and sometimes even his name.
‐‐ Evan Esar
A signature ChapStick would be so sweet.
‐‐ Ryan Sheckler
A significant event for me was learning Hank Williams, reconnecting with his music's simplicity, which inspired me to inhabit the same territory. It's different, because I grew up on Led Zeppelin, The Stooges and punk, so in that sense I'm mutating country and folk more than a few degrees.
‐‐ Stone Gossard
A significant fraction of evangelical voters appear more likely to ignore the candidates' specific economic and foreign policy platforms in favor of concerns about gay marriage or abortion.

A significant piece of the wealth that the NFL owners garner is a result of the enormous TV revenues they get - and those revenues are supported by a legislatively granted exemption from the antitrust laws that has been made applicable to sports leagues, primarily the NFL.
‐‐ Eliot Spitzer
A silent man is easily reputed wise. A man who suffers none to see him in the common jostle and undress of life, easily gathers round him a mysterious veil of unknown sanctity, and men honor him for a saint. The unknown is always wonderful.
‐‐ Frederick William Robertson
A similar revolving fund could be set up for Germany, for a durable peace can rest only upon a Germany that, while militarily impotent, is industrially active.
‐‐ James Forrestal
A simple compliment goes a really long way - for a guy to just come over and say, 'You have great hair' or 'I really like your dress,' and then just smile and walk away. That's a great move, because he's sort of putting himself out there by doing that, but it won't lead to any embarrassment if the girl isn't interested.
‐‐ Stacy Keibler
A simple enough pleasure, surely, to have breakfast alone with one's husband, but how seldom married people in the midst of life achieve it.
‐‐ Anne Spencer
A simple fact that is hard to learn is that the time to save money is when you have some.
‐‐ Joe Moore
A simple idea. And the man that worked on it, Mike Gabriel, doubled the value. Beautiful job. I should say triple. We have others like that, but, unfortunately, shorts, which are my favorite approach, are economically of no value.
‐‐ Joe Grant
A simple leather jacket... has gotten me through cocktail parties in New York and cold nights in Afghanistan.
