For correct writing, the cultivation of patience and mental accuracy is essential. Throughout the young author's period of apprenticeship, he must keep reliable dictionaries and textbooks at his elbow; eschewing as far as possible that hasty extemporaneous manner of writing which is the privilege of more advanced students.

For countries such as Kenya to emerge as economic powerhouses, they need better infrastructure: roads, ports, smart grids and power plants. Infrastructure is expensive, and takes a long time to build. In the meantime, hackers are building 'grassroots infrastructure,' using the mobile-phone system to build solutions that are ready for market.

For cubic U I didn't know how it all got started at all.

For dance recitals, my mom would do my makeup all extravagant because obviously I was really little and where else would I be wearing makeup? We would always be in her bathroom before the dance recital, and she'd do our hair and makeup.

For days after death hair and fingernails continue to grow, but phone calls taper off.

For days after the launch, Sputnik was a wonderful curiosity. A man-made moon visible by ordinary citizens, it inspired awe and pride that humans had finally launched an object into space.
‐‐ David Hoffman
For days on end, I avoid the Web, never logging in until about two or three, after I've written all morning. On a good week, I don't go online till after Wednesday, so four or five days might lapse without my checking e-mail.

For DC, I'm working on the new 'Red Lanterns' and 'JLA Dark.' Both of these are very different books, which is great for me. I've heard 'JLA Dark' described as a team of people with supernatural powers - but that's only half the story.

For death is not the worst, but when one wants to die and is not able even to have that.

For 'Death Magnetic,' I used what I always use, which is my standard touring rack, which is filled with some Boogie stuff and a Marshall that I've had forever.
‐‐ Kirk Hammett
For Debussy the musician and the man I have had profound admiration, but by nature I'm different from him. I think I have always personally followed a direction opposed to that of the symbolism of Debussy.

For decades, activist shareholders were an entertaining, but largely ignored, Wall Street sideshow. Disgruntled investors would attend annual meetings to harangue executives, criticize strategies - and protest that their complaints were being ignored.
‐‐ Charles Duhigg
For decades, as literary editor, I have followed the growth of our creative writing in English. In my Solidaridad Bookshop, half of my stock consists of Filipino books written in English and in the native languages.

For decades, Barbara Walters has been described as a broadcast pioneer - and with good reason. In 1974, Walters became the first female host of the 'Today' show. In 1976, she became the first woman to serve as a network-news anchor. In 1984, she moderated the first presidential debate between Walter Mondale and Ronald Reagan.

For decades engineers have stood accused that their buildings do not have any cultural value. We have attempted to liberate engineering of this accusation.
‐‐ Fritz Todt
For decades, I have been a militant anti-declinist in terms of America's place in the world.
‐‐ Conrad Black
For decades, I have cringed whenever someone called me 'illegal,' as if I'm an insect on someone's back. I found out I didn't have the right papers - that I was here illegally - when I tried to get a driver's permit at age 16. But I am not 'illegal.' No person is.

For decades, I have supported adoption, and have helped tens of thousands of children worldwide.

For decades I have tried to peel back the layers of mystery surrounding many marine creatures, though most have held tightly to their secrets. One animal that keeps me pondering is the shark. Spellbound by these enigmatic animals since I first encountered them in New England, I never tire of watching their special blend of power and grace.

For decades in America, there has been an effort to ensure that the rights of those who are not sane are the same as the rights of those who are.

For decades, Indians have immigrated to the United States, joined our communities, and raised their families while maintaining their cultural heritage.
‐‐ Henry Paulson
For decades, Japan has been a friend and reliable trading partner with the United States, and I anticipate that relationship will prosper.
‐‐ Jim Costa
For decades, many blacks were reluctant to pursue a profession that was associated with servitude. If you went to school, it was to become a lawyer or doctor. Older generations didn't understand why one would spend money to learn how to chop, peel, dice, and saute vegetables when that trade could be taught at home.
‐‐ Marcus Samuelsson
For decades, media companies have largely controlled the tools through which consumers were told what to buy, wear or think. Now consumers possess the same ability to produce, distribute and curate content and distribute it to their peers in real time across social media platforms.
‐‐ Simon Mainwaring
For decades, my identity was political, but I've come to understand that there's no political solution when you're dealing with someone else's rules.
‐‐ John Trudell
For decades, my research was driven by outstanding problems in macroeconomics: mainly growth theory and employment theory.
‐‐ Edmund Phelps
For decades, NRDC has created and supported policies that will ultimately end our reliance on fossil fuels.
‐‐ Frances Beinecke
For decades, or at least for years, Republican politicians have been dog whistling about race. And then, when - they're shocked when Donald Trump starts barking.
‐‐ Sherrod Brown
For decades, parents were told by so-called parenting 'experts' that offspring would be best raised on the belief each is special and entitled to all life has to offer.
‐‐ Bob Barr
For decades Republicans have made policy with a higher purpose in mind: to solidify the GOP base or to damage the institutions and movements aligned with the other side.
‐‐ Thomas Frank
For decades, Saddam and his Sunni minority had imposed their will on Iraq, carrying on a 14-century tradition of Sunnis controlling Mesopotamia despite a Shiite majority.
‐‐ Richard Engel
For decades the American people have had an addiction to oil and gas.
‐‐ Lee H. Hamilton
For decades, the Arab states have seemed exceptions to the laws of politics and human nature. While liberty expanded in many parts of the globe, these nations were left behind, their 'freedom deficit' signaling the political underdevelopment that accompanied many other economic and social maladies.
‐‐ Elliott Abrams
For decades, the journalistic norm had been that the private lives of public officials remained private unless that life impinged on public performance.
‐‐ Roger Mudd
For decades, the men at Area 51 thought they'd take their secrets to the grave. At the height of the Cold War, they cultivated anonymity while pursuing some of the country's most covert projects. Conspiracy theories were left to popular imagination.
‐‐ Annie Jacobsen
For decades, the violence in the Middle East has claimed a multitude of innocent civilian victims: Men, women and children, Arab and Israeli.
‐‐ John Conyers
For decades, there has been this assumption that children played and adults didn't. That's rubbish.
‐‐ Brian Sutton-Smith
For decades, Turkey was widely viewed as a reliable NATO ally: prickly at times, but safely in America's corner.
‐‐ Stephen Kinzer
For decades, Wall Street has charged companies a standard fee of 7 percent to sell their shares to the public.
‐‐ Alex Berenson
For decades, we've worked under the assumption that mass culture follows a steadily declining path toward lowest-common-denominator standards, presumably because the 'masses' want dumb, simple pleasures and big media companies want to give the masses what they want.

For decathletes, our event goes all throughout the day so you're trying to go up and down and up and down emotionally and physically and you know mentally you're just on a roller coaster.

For delightfully quirky descriptions of bizarre neurological syndromes that teach us a lot about how the brain works, there is no match for Oliver Sacks.

For Democrats, nothing is any less complex than a 'West Wing' episode.
‐‐ Kevin Bleyer
For Democrats to reduce women to beggars for cheap government-funded birth control is demeaning to the women that I know who are far more complicated than their libido and the management of their reproductive system.

For designers, the rigidity of an alphabet presents a never-ending artistic challenge: How do you do something new and still preserve the letters' essential forms?
‐‐ Virginia Postrel
For Devil's Backbone I loved it but I felt very pressured but so I was neurotic on the shoot.
‐‐ Guillermo del Toro
For diabetes in particular, we know there's a relationship between lack of glucose regulation and complications like blindness and kidney failure. So if you were diabetic and you knew that you could get your glucose in a tight, normal range just by adjusting your lifestyle, wouldn't that be great?

For different roles, my condition and training and diet does alter. Depending on the role, it will really dictate the type of training I do.

For dinner I want real sushi - not the Americanized kind. My parents are American Samoan so I don't go for any of those rolls. I'll have raw prawn or sea urchin or octopus. I love it.
