One reason why so little is known about the German resistance is because it was never a united movement in the way that it was in France or Poland. It was simply too dangerous.

One reason why upturns follow downturns is that downturns tend to overshoot. People get panicky, they're afraid to stay the course, so they start selling. The other thing is that I think, as entrepreneurs keep on waiting to produce new things, that there's an accumulation of as-yet-unexploited new ideas that keeps mounting up.

One reason you should not use web applications to do your computing is that you lose control.
‐‐ Richard Stallman
One reason Zipcar succeeded was its branding: cool, hip, smart, urban, fun, innovative. Who wouldn't want to be associated with that?
‐‐ Robin Chase
One regret I have is that I did not learn more about what was happening very early, so that I could have tried to stop people from engaging in illegal activities.
‐‐ Fred F. Fielding
One report said that since my time on the run I've had 2,500 girlfriends. I mean you got to realize, I've been on the run for more than 30 years, I have got to have had more than that!
‐‐ Ronald Biggs
One repressive state after another has had to face the dilemma of wanting abundant Internet for economic advancement, while ruing the ways in which its citizens can become empowered to express themselves fearlessly.

One researcher just determined that African and Indian elephants make each other sick. When a new animal or plant is introduced to a habitat bad things happen. The biggest danger to native wildlife is foreign wildlife.

One returns to the place one came from.

One rich Man hath Lands, not only more than he can manage, but so much, that letting them out to others, he is supplied with a large over-plus, so needs no farther care.

One role blends into the next role. I mean, there's strange idiosyncrasies from roles that I play that I picked up that will never go away.
‐‐ Jake Gyllenhaal
One room is always enough for one person. Two rooms is not enough for two people. That is one of the conundrums in life.
‐‐ Jeanette Winterson
One rule that will work if it is used everywhere, is that when you have a free-kick, the referee puts the mark on the floor to make sure the defenders keep their distance.
‐‐ Cristiano Ronaldo
One's age should be tranquil, as childhood should be playful. Hard work at either extremity of life seems out of place. At midday the sun may burn, and men labor under it; but the morning and evening should be alike calm and cheerful.
‐‐ Thomas Arnold
One's appearance bespeaks dignity corresponding to the depth of his character. One's concentrated effort, serene attitude, taciturn air, courteous disposition, thoroughly polite bearing, gritted teeth with a piercing look - each of these reveals dignity. Such outward appearance, in short, comes from constant attentiveness and seriousness.
‐‐ Yamamoto Tsunetomo
One's art goes as far and as deep as one's love goes.
‐‐ Andrew Wyeth
One's destination is never a place but rather a new way of looking at things.
‐‐ Henry Miller
One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
‐‐ Michael J. Fox
One's dream is constantly evolving, rising and falling, changing course. This happens in every job, but because I have worked in comedy for twenty-five years, I can probably speak best about my own profession.
‐‐ Conan O'Brien
One's enemies are always talking about 'post-feminism.' It is a word invented by people who would like to do away with feminism.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
One's eyes are what one is, one's mouth is what one becomes.
‐‐ John Galsworthy
One's family is the most important thing in life. I look at it this way: One of these days I'll be over in a hospital somewhere with four walls around me. And the only people who'll be with me will be my family.
‐‐ Robert Byrd
One's friends are that part of the human race with which one can be human.
‐‐ George Santayana
One's happiness depends less on what he knows than on what he feels.
‐‐ Liberty Hyde Bailey
One's head is finite. You pour more and more things into it - surnames, chronologies, affiliations - and it packs them away in its tunnels, and eventually you find that you have a book about something that you publish.
‐‐ Nicholson Baker
One's homesickness for Heaven finds at least an inn there; and it's an inn on the right road.
‐‐ Ruth Pitter
One's life and passion may be elsewhere, but New York is where you prove if what you think in theory makes sense in life.
‐‐ Miuccia Prada
One's life has many compartments.
‐‐ Harold Pinter
One's life has value so long as one attributes value to the life of others, by means of love, friendship, indignation and compassion.
‐‐ Simone de Beauvoir
One's mind has a way of making itself up in the background, and it suddenly becomes clear what one means to do.
‐‐ A. C. Benson
One's native land! There should one live! There die!
‐‐ Jules Verne
One's nativity is not of his own choosing, but whatever it may be, it is entitled to respect; and all nations have honorable place in the world's family.
‐‐ Paul Harris
One's only rival is one's own potentialities. One's only failure is failing to live up to one's own possibilities. In this sense, every man can be a king, and must therefore be treated like a king.
‐‐ Abraham Maslow
One's own religion is after all a matter between oneself and one's Maker and no one else's.
‐‐ Mahatma Gandhi
One's past is what one is. It is the only way by which people should be judged.
‐‐ Oscar Wilde
One's performance is often heightened by the brilliance and generosity of other actors.
‐‐ Cyril Cusack
One's philosophy is not best expressed in words; it is expressed in the choices one makes... and the choices we make are ultimately our responsibility.
‐‐ Eleanor Roosevelt
One's politics are part of one even when one is writing. But if I want to say anything about the state of civil society, I will write an essay. The responsibilities you feel as a novelist are literary ones, I think, not civic ones. And I think politicians are interesting to write about.
‐‐ Thomas Mallon
One's prime is elusive. You little girls, when you grow up, must be on the alert to recognize your prime at whatever time of your life it may occur. You must then live it to the full.
‐‐ Muriel Spark
One's religion is one's own possession and he has a right to it.
‐‐ Paul Harris
One's teachers all belonged to that generation who were imperialists, and the whole narrative throughout my adolescence was of countries leaving the empire. I find it extraordinary that this purpose which drove how we viewed the world is now considered to be something that has no effect upon us.
‐‐ Jeremy Paxman
One's too many, and a hundred's not enough.
‐‐ Billy Wilder
One's work usually occupies more than half of one's waking life. Choosing work that does not bring happiness will lead to a life that is mostly disappointing.
‐‐ Bo Bennett
One said of suicide, As long as one has brains one should not blow them out. And another answered, But when one has ceased to have them, too often one cannot.
‐‐ F. H. Bradley
One Saturday in 1984, I walked into my first AA meeting. I went regularly for six years and only stopped when I came to realize my underlying problem was not genuine alcoholism, but depression.
‐‐ Jack Dee
One says also, it is one of the most faithful men in Hollywood, and makes again more interesting it equal.
‐‐ Michelle Hunziker
One school invited me down, as two pupils had come out, and the headmaster didn't know what to do about it. I said, 'How many students here are gay?' and he said, 'Just these two.' Clearly not. 'How many gay members of staff have you got?' He had no idea. And this was a concerned man.

One science only will one genius fit; so vast is art, so narrow human wit.
