Chechnya is part and parcel of the Russian Federation.

Check bags are fun. I just make sure there won't be anything illegal in my check bag which is forbidden at a cabin of a plane. Just leaving things like scissors and such out of my carry-on things in order to avoid troubles with some certain airline, y'know.
‐‐ Kerry King
Check-ins are cool, but kind of a pain.
‐‐ Sam Altman
Check out London, Manhattan, Aspen and East Hampton real estate prices, as well as high-end art prices, to see what the leading edge of hyperinflation could look like.
‐‐ Paul Singer
Check the card before you play. If you have a couple of long par 3s, put an extra hybrid in your bag. You'll be glad you did.
‐‐ Ernie Els
Check your ego at the door. The ego can be the great success inhibitor. It can kill opportunities, and it can kill success.
‐‐ Dwayne Johnson
Checking email every 45 seconds is not only compulsive, it's presumptuous. It suggests a belief that anyone who sends us a message needs us to read it immediately, even if the message is from SkyMall telling us our Bigfoot Garden Yeti statue has shipped.
‐‐ Meghan Daum
Checking the results of a decision against its expectations shows executives what their strengths are, where they need to improve, and where they lack knowledge or information.
‐‐ Peter Drucker
Checking your ego, abandoning it, letting it go, is a huge part of recovery from addiction.
‐‐ Susannah Grant
Checking your telomere length is a bit like weighing yourself: you get this single number which depends on a lot of factors. Telomere length gives a sense of your underlying health.
‐‐ Elizabeth Blackburn
Checks aren't money.
‐‐ Andy Warhol
Cheech and I used to call ourselves musicians; we never called ourselves comedians. We were musicians that were funny.
‐‐ Tommy Chong
Cheer for your teammates, regardless of whether they're fast or slow, veteran or neophyte, varsity or JV. Or rally the spirits of someone who's had a bad performance. Also, encourage stragglers during tough workouts; jog back to 'pick up' a runner who's behind during a long run.
‐‐ Don Kardong
Cheerfully fessing up to our failures turns crazy mind off, humility and compassion on. I learned this in a karate dojo that had a strange tradition. Everyone there loved recounting failure stories, and after an evening of smacking one another, we'd sit and have a beer while the students swapped tales of martial arts disaster.
‐‐ Martha Beck
Cheerfulness is a very great help in fostering the virtue of charity. Cheerfulness itself is a virtue.
‐‐ Lawrence G. Lovasik
Cheerfulness is the best promoter of health and is as friendly to the mind as to the body.
‐‐ Joseph Addison
Cheerfulness, it would appear, is a matter which depends fully as much on the state of things within, as on the state of things without and around us.
‐‐ Charlotte Bronte
Cheerfulness, sir, is the principle ingredient in the composition of health.
‐‐ Arthur Murphy
Cheerios bring back memories. I actually don't think I ate them much as a kid, though; maybe it's some sort of Jungian memory, I don't know. But they have so much sugar, it's great.
‐‐ Penn Jillette
Cheerleaders deserve a lot of respect for what they do.
‐‐ Ashley Tisdale
Cheerleading gave me a love of sports, which I brought to the Senate. I can talk to the good ol' boys about college sports because I follow it like they do.
‐‐ Kay Bailey Hutchison
Cheerleading was my way in. It was one of the most rigorous audition processes ever. It definitely groomed me for Hollywood.
‐‐ Sarah Shahi
'Cheers' was great. They paired me up with Shelley Long on this tiny bar set for the final audition. That was my first really big one, and we just clicked instantly - I still think I got the part because of Shelley.
‐‐ Ted Danson
Cheese and jam are really nice. Cheese and apple as well. Cheese and grapes are good.
‐‐ Georgie Henley
Cheese is good. And Britain, despite the grumblings of the French and the outrage of the Swiss, not to mention some plucky challenges from Italy, Austria, and Spain, has some of the best cheese in the world. We're world leaders in cheese.
‐‐ Nick Harkaway
Cheese is milk's leap toward immortality.
‐‐ Clifton Fadiman
Cheese is one of my great weaknesses, I could eat the stuff by the pound.
‐‐ Helena Christensen
Cheese steaks are the gastronomic icons of this ethnic city.
‐‐ Bryan Q. Miller
Cheese was the staple. Bread you brought from home. The Schnaps came later. At the end of the week when people got paid, that's when you got your Schnaps, lots of it, five Pfennige a shot.
‐‐ Ludwig Mies van der Rohe
Cheever constantly voiced doubts about his writing. Reading 'The Naked and the Dead' made him despair of his own 'confined talents.'
‐‐ Geoff Dyer
'Chef' doesn't mean that you're the best cook, it simply means 'boss.'
‐‐ Tom Colicchio
'Chef' is a dish of arroz con pollo served with a smile but not much style. The critic in the film would give it a low grade, for agreeability without ambition.
‐‐ Richard Corliss
Chef Michel Richard is always at the top of his game.
‐‐ Jose Andres
Chef's choice is my favorite. I'm super adventurous.
‐‐ Neil Patrick Harris
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.
‐‐ David Chang
Chefs are artists, and I couldn't be happy with my art if I was forced to use cheap ingredients.
‐‐ Nobu Matsuhisa
Chefs are at the end of a long chain of individuals who work hard to feed people. Farmers, beekeepers, bakers, scientists, fishermen, grocers, we are all part of that chain, all food people, all dedicated to feeding the world.
‐‐ Jose Andres
Chefs are fond of hyperbole, so they can certainly talk that way. But on the whole, I think they probably have a more open mind than most people.
‐‐ Anthony Bourdain
Chefs are leaders in their own little world.
‐‐ Eric Ripert
Chefs are nutters. They're all self-obsessed, delicate, dainty, insecure little souls and absolute psychopaths. Every last one of them.
‐‐ Gordon Ramsay
Chefs, as a whole, say yes to any project, fundraiser, or tasting because they have such a generous spirit.
‐‐ Charlie Trotter
Chefs become attracted to being able to get product and then clientele - those are the two things that attract you as a chef.
‐‐ Michael Mina
Chefs don't become chefs just to earn stars - that's not the goal.
‐‐ Alain Ducasse
Chefs don't eat at normal hours, so the only time you feel like you really need a meal is after service, when you're exhausted and just crave something to help you wind down.
‐‐ Marcus Samuelsson
Chefs don't use white pepper just to avoid spoiling the whiteness of pommes puree or bechamel. It has a more peppery aroma, with sharpness and sweetness, too.
‐‐ Yotam Ottolenghi
Chefs have a new opportunity - and perhaps even an obligation - to inform the public about what is good to eat, and why.
‐‐ Rene Redzepi
Chefs have only been able to work in restaurants, high-end cuisine. Why? Why haven't they been able to find other scenarios? For those chefs who want to do avant-garde cuisine, should they be finding their income in a restaurant?
‐‐ Ferran Adria
Chefs think about what it's like to make food. Being a scientist in the kitchen is about asking why something works, and how it works.
