As leaders, we become whole when we see that our focused, singular commitment to making the numbers and the metrics cannot be effective on its own, but only when it is part of the whole picture - only when we see that it takes more than metrics to make up the whole.

As leaders, we in Israel must take into account the concerns of diaspora Jewry. Israel is strong enough to take criticism from within the family of Jews who say, 'OK, we disapprove of Israeli policy, but we stand firm for Israel.'
‐‐ Tzipi Livni
As leaders, we need to rise above petty politics and lead, rather than follow, the various interests and pressure groups in our respective countries.
‐‐ Hassan Rouhani
As leakers take great risks in releasing information, assuring them that they are not sacrificing themselves in vain and that their leaks would have public consequences would most likely encourage more people to leak.
‐‐ Evgeny Morozov
As legal residents, immigrants would contribute more in taxes, spend more at our businesses, start companies of their own and create more jobs. Immigration is not a problem for us to solve but an opportunity for America to seize.
‐‐ Jose Andres
As legal slavery passed, we entered into a permanent period of unemployment and underemployment from which we have yet to emerge.
‐‐ Julian Bond
As legislators and as Members of Congress, it is our obligation to speak up for those who are being ignored in our society. The Violence Against Women Act (VAWA) does just that.
‐‐ Gwen Moore
As Liberal Democrats and proponents of federalism, we must put our heads above the parapet and recapture and disseminate the true meaning of federalism. We have to win the vocabulary before we succeed in the vision.
‐‐ Charles Kennedy
As liberty and intelligence have increased the people have more and more revolted against the theological dogmas that contradict common sense and wound the tenderest sensibilities of the soul.
‐‐ Catharine Beecher
As life expectancy extends beyond 80 years in some parts of the world, more people are struggling with brain diseases. For older people, Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, and other conditions become a major impediment to quality of life.
‐‐ Bill Maris
As life forms, viruses are just inherently interesting. It's the microworld - this universe of life too small for us to see - but it's profoundly complicated, and immensely powerful. Ebola is like a beautiful and frightening predator. There is a wonder in the operations of nature that can't be denied, even when we're the losers.
‐‐ Richard Preston
As life goes on, we accrue more and more loseable objects. Providence dictates that objects that are too large to lose, such as houses, always come with tiny little keys, specially designed to give you the slip.
‐‐ Craig Brown
As life has a way of unfolding as it is meant to, I have learned to trust life.
‐‐ Linda Thompson
As life nears its end with me, I find myself meditating more and more upon the mystery of its nature and origin, yet without the least hope that I can find out the ways of the Eternal in this or in any other world.
‐‐ John Burroughs
As life runs on, the road grows strange with faces new - and near the end. The milestones into headstones change, Neath every one a friend.
‐‐ James Russell Lowell
As lifelong fans of comic books, Dan Didio and myself, we definitely have our own takes on what make for successful comics and the kind of comics that we want to publish.
‐‐ Jim Lee
As lifespan increases fertility rates go down all over the world. Humans will create better technology and space travel will increase. These are all good signs for the future.
‐‐ Liz Parrish
As lightly toned by reality as the women on 'Sex and the City,' the bold, soigne characters on 'The L Word' suggest that L is also for limerence, that rapturous state of early love when the entire world is glowing and delectable.
‐‐ Stacey D'Erasmo
As London is suddenly promoted as a super-wealth brand, the England outside London shivers beneath cutbacks, tight circumstances and economic disasters.
‐‐ Morrissey
As long as a character doesn't die, the character can always come back.
‐‐ Cote de Pablo
As long as a film stays unmade, the book is entirely yours, it belongs to the writer. As soon as you make it into a film, suddenly more people see it than have ever read the book.
‐‐ Iain Banks
As long as a government can come and shoot you, you can't jump on the Internet to freedom.
‐‐ Esther Dyson
As long as a house is like yours, and as long as you work together with your brothers, not a house in the world will be able to compete with you, to cause you harm or to take advantage of you, for together you can undertake and perform more than any house in the world.
‐‐ Nathan Meyer Rothschild
As long as a man's heart beats, as long as a man's flesh quivers, I do not allow that a being gifted with thought and will can allow himself to despair.
‐‐ Jules Verne
As long as a man stands in his own way, everything seems to be in his way.
‐‐ Ralph Waldo Emerson
As long as a teaser saves some things, that's good.

As long as a woman can look ten years younger than her own daughter, she is perfectly satisfied.
‐‐ Oscar Wilde
As long as a word remains unspoken, you are its master; once you utter it, you are its slave.
‐‐ Solomon Ibn Gabirol
As long as algebra is taught in school, there will be prayer in school.
‐‐ Cokie Roberts
As long as anger, paranoia and misinformation drive our political debate, there are unhinged souls among us who will feel justified in turning to violent remedies for imagined threats.
‐‐ David Horsey
As long as any adult thinks that he, like the parents and teachers of old, can become introspective, invoking his own youth to understand the youth before him, he is lost.
‐‐ Margaret Mead
As long as artists arbitrarily assume the right to decide what is or is not art, it is logical that the public will just as arbitrarily feel that they have the right to reject it.
‐‐ Leon Krier
As long as artists can make something, artists will continue to survive.
‐‐ Victoria Legrand
As long as designers want to dress me, photographers want to take my picture and companies think my face will help their products, then I won't go anywhere until they're done with me.
‐‐ Linda Evangelista
As long as each song makes somebody feel something, I think that's the point of it all. I don't want it to just be background music, you know?
‐‐ Alessia Cara
As long as Elton John can bring forth one performance per album on the order of 'Someone Saved My Life Tonight,' the chance remains that he will become something more than the great entertainer he already is and go on to make a lasting contribution to rock.
‐‐ Jon Landau
As long as enough people can be frightened, then all people can be ruled. That is how it works in a democratic system and mass fear becomes the ticket to destroy rights across the board.
‐‐ James Bovard
As long as every generation rises to its challenges and stands up in defense of liberty - as Americans have done in the past and as our men and women continue to do today - our nation will remain free and strong.
‐‐ Doc Hastings
As long as Florida remains a swing state, Cuban exiles in Florida will remain a very powerful voting bloc.
‐‐ Joshua A. Tucker
As long as God gives me the strength to still minister and create, I'll do it.
‐‐ Andrae Crouch
As long as God lets me live, I want to do things that make a difference in the world besides play music.
‐‐ Randy Owen
As long as government is allowed to collect all Internet data, the perceived exigency will drive honest civil servants to reach more broadly and deeply into our networked lives.
‐‐ Yochai Benkler
As long as Green Lantern is still dealing with fear, it's going to be relevant. 'Rebirth' really grew out of 9/11. 9/11 happened, and then two years later, I was writing about fear. It was obviously connected.
‐‐ Geoff Johns
As long as habit and routine dictate the pattern of living, new dimensions of the soul will not emerge.
‐‐ Henry Van Dyke
As long as Hamas needs the support it could conceivably get from the international community through the Palestinian Authority, it has an interest in playing nice with Fatah. And Fatah has an interest in playing nice with Hamas because it needs some source of legitimacy on the West Bank.
‐‐ Ian Lustick
As long as humans have existed, we have always desired to live longer. Every society, every religion, every culture. Of course, they all failed at dramatic life extension.
‐‐ S. Jay Olshansky
As long as I am acting, I will do only Telugu films. I want to take Telugu films to the world. Everyone should talk about our films.

As long as I am alive, I am fully committed to amity between Tibetans and Chinese. Otherwise there's no use.

As long as I am an American citizen, and as long as American blood runs in these veins, I shall hold myself at liberty to speak, to write, and to publish whatever I please on any subject, being amenable to the laws of my country for the same.
‐‐ Elijah Parish Lovejoy
As long as I am given the opportunity to keep performing and keep exploring in whatever medium, I'll be happy. As long as I get to spend time with my family, I'll be happy. As long as I can write in some form, I'll be happy. It is the essential things like that I equate with happiness.
