As I pass it, I feel as if I saw a dear old mother, sweet in her weakness, trembling at the approach of her dissolution, but not appealing to me against the inevitable, rather endeavouring to reassure me by her patience, and pointing to a hopeful future.
‐‐ Thomas Edward Brown
As I passed along the side walls of Westminster Abbey, I hardly saw any thing but marble monuments of great admirals, but which were all too much loaded with finery and ornaments, to make on me at least, the intended impression.
‐‐ Karl Philipp Moritz
As I plotted 'Blueprints,' I realized that ageism against women is most obvious in the field of entertainment - and that I needed a TV show in my book.
‐‐ Barbara Delinsky
As I point out in the very first pages of 'Into the Wild,' I approached this book not as a normal, you know, unbiased journalist.
‐‐ Jon Krakauer
As I prepare for my second term as Secretary-General, I am thinking hard about how we can meet the expectations of the millions of people who see the U.N.'s blue flag as a banner of hope. We have to continue our life-saving work in peacekeeping, human rights, development and humanitarian relief.
‐‐ Ban Ki-moon
As I prepare for this next phase in my life, I ask that people continue to offer the prayers that have protected me thus far. I also pray that I will always see those who are not seen and easy to forget in the hustle and bustle of Washington politics.
‐‐ Artur Davis
As I prepare to take over the reins of your government, I ask each of you to join me in the process of governing.
‐‐ David Ige

‐‐ Barbara Rosenblat
As I read more and I got into philosophy and met a lot of friends who weren't Christians, it became difficult for me to sustain the belief structure in the supernatural.
‐‐ Daniel Everett
As I read more and more - and it was not all verse, by any means - my love for the real life of words increased until I knew that I must live with them and in them, always. I knew, in fact, that I must be a writer of words, and nothing else.
‐‐ Dylan Thomas
As I read more and more fairy tales as an adult, I found massive collusion between their 'subjects' and those in my fiction: childhood, nature, sexuality, transformation. I realized that it wasn't by accident that I was drawn to their narrative structure and motifs.
‐‐ Kate Bernheimer
As I read, my suspicion that Jesus might really be the Messiah was confirmed.
‐‐ Jay Alan Sekulow
As I read 'The Infinities', with its magical, playful richness, its sensuous delight in the power of language to convey the strangeness and beauty of being human, I wondered if J. M. Coetzee, with his bleak, pared-down, elemental view of the world, had ever read a Banville and, if he had, whether he had envied him his astonishing powers.
‐‐ Justin Cartwright
As I read the New Testament, I find only one path to salvation - the path of an informed faith in Jesus Christ.
‐‐ Lewis B. Smedes
As I read the scriptures, it appears that those who receive the Savior's strongest reproach are often those who hold themselves in high esteem because of their wealth, influence, or perceived righteousness.
‐‐ Dieter F. Uchtdorf
As I recall, my life as a child was so all-consuming that I barely had time to consider the future.
‐‐ David Johansen
As I remember my grandfather and those Christmas mornings he gave for a little girl's pleasure, I know that often a big life starts with doing small things.
‐‐ Chitra Banerjee Divakaruni
As I remember, the first real poem I wrote was about the wheat fields between Spokane and Pullman, to the south.
‐‐ Carolyn Kizer

‐‐ Cory Booker
As I said a moment ago, there is no higher priority in our budget, or certainly in the budgets of the past few years, than providing for what is needed for the protection and security of our country and support of our troops.
‐‐ Jim Ryun
As I said before, a big part of my strategy says - and the management team I think is in agreement with this - we don't have to be out there with a lot of noise all the time. What we need to do is paint a vision for customers, promise them deliverables, and go hit at it.
‐‐ Sanjay Kumar
As I said before, I'm prepared to be prepared and I think that remains the same, you know there's no way to really know what it's going to feel like. I think for each individual it's different.
‐‐ Brandon Routh
As I said before, there are often disagreements as to what a particular set of facts mean. That is not at all unusual, and one shouldn't read into it more than is there.
‐‐ Robert Mueller
As I said earlier, there are no writers who could create a literary vision of the new reality.
‐‐ Andrzej Wajda
As I said, I began losing confidence in my instincts, which is tough and very bad for an instinctive person.
‐‐ Kim Novak
As I said, I believe life starts at conception.
‐‐ Todd Akin
As I said, I had no publisher for What a Carve Up! while I was writing it, so all we had to live off was my wife's money and little bits I was picking up for journalism.
‐‐ Jonathan Coe
As I said, I haven't spent a lot of time thinking about partner brands.
‐‐ Jim Cantalupo
As I said, I spent most of my adult life thinking I didn't have a vote, and therefore that what I thought didn't matter.
‐‐ Two Chainz
As I said, if you don't stand up for yourself, people aren't going to think that you can stand up for them.
‐‐ Sidney Blumenthal
As I said in my state of the state address, we can no longer rely on gaming and sales taxes to pay our way. Indian gaming next door in California is eroding our major industry in Nevada.
‐‐ Kenny Guinn
As I said last week in the wake of the grand jury decision, I think Ferguson laid bare a problem that is not unique to St. Louis or that area, and is not unique to our time, and that is a simmering distrust that exists between too many police departments and too many communities of color.
‐‐ Barack Obama
As I said many times, the fashion world, its system, can be disturbing.
‐‐ Azzedine Alaia
As I said, men value their independence in a weird way, above practically everything.
‐‐ George Weinberg
As I said, my parents loved that when they came to America, if you worked hard, the only things that could stop you were the limits you placed on yourself.
‐‐ Nikki Haley
As I said there is nothing wrong with failing. Pick yourself up and try it again. You never are going to know how good you really are until you go out and face failure.
‐‐ Henry Kravis
As I said this year, I didn't try to put any pressure on me by setting high goals or anything, I just want to make sure that every single time I'm out there on the court I do my best, I give 100%, and see where it's going to end up next year.
‐‐ Daniela Hantuchova
As I said to Ringo, I was in a successful Rock N Roll band. He was in a band that changed the world. That's the difference.
‐‐ Greg Lake
As I said, when we needed to move over to rock'n'roll, Sam and Vernon couldn't quite make the shift. So that's when Larry took over on drums, and we needed a bass player.
‐‐ Neil Innes
As I sat in a small room constructing what seemed to me awkward sentences and paragraphs, McCone was out having exciting adventures.
‐‐ Marcia Muller
As I saw more and more people buying the images that were happy buyers, and people selling the images that were happy with how the market was pricing them, I started to get the sense this could be the go-to place for businesses to get the images they need.
‐‐ Jon Oringer
As I say, I as an abstract artist was active politically.
‐‐ Lee Krasner
As I say, I'm a discourse advocate. What form it comes is less important to me than the fact that there is discourse.
‐‐ Jim Lehrer
As I say, the Animals had a particular concept of themselves as a band. There was an anarchic spirit in it, which was being flattened by commercial designs, attitudes, and needs.
‐‐ Alan Price
As I say, there was this movement to try to bring philosophers and mathematicians together into an organization where they would talk to each other. An organization wasn't effective unless you had a journal. That's about all I know.
‐‐ Stephen Cole Kleene
As I say to our own team: 'Never protect your past, never define yourself by a single product, and always continue to steward for the long-term. Keep moving towards the future.'
‐‐ Ginni Rometty
As I say, we Norwegians love our woolens, and you can buy some beautiful knitwear in Oslo. They might cost you a bit - but they will last.
‐‐ Jo Nesbo

As I see it, a green salad is an open invitation to carrots, onions, mushrooms, tomatoes, and the sprouts that grow in jars on my kitchen counter.
‐‐ Victoria Moran
As I see it, fast food outfits have targeted small children with their advertising in a very effective way. You know, it's clowns and kid's toys and bright colors and things like that.
