The career of a politician mainly consists in making one part of the nation do what it does not want to do, in order to please and satisfy the other part of the nation.
‐‐ Auberon Herbert
The career of a sage is of two kinds: He is either honored by all in the world, Like a flower waving its head, Or else he disappears into the silent forest.
‐‐ Lao Tzu
The career of a writer is comparable to that of a woman of easy virtue. You write first for pleasure, later for the pleasure of others and finally for money.
‐‐ Marcel Achard
The career of politics grants a feeling of power. The knowledge of influencing men, of participating in power over them, and above all, the feeling of holding in one's hands a nerve fiber of historically important events can elevate the professional politician above everyday routine even when he is placed in formally modest positions.
‐‐ Max Weber
The career stuff is for business people.
‐‐ Joseph Gordon-Levitt
The Caribbean is such an apocalyptic place, whether it's the decimation of the indigenous populations by the Europeans, whether it's the importation of slaves and their subsequent being worked to death by the millions in many ways, whether it's the immigrant processes which began for many people, new worlds ending their old ones.
‐‐ Junot Diaz
The caricature of Islam as a violent and intolerant religion is horrendously incomplete. Remember that those standing up to Muslim fanatics are mostly Muslims.
‐‐ Nicholas Kristof
The caricature of science is that we hold tight to the theories we have, and shun challenges to them. That's just not true. In fact, we hold our highest rewards for those scientists who can prove others wrong. And by the way, they are famous in their own lifetimes. We don't wait until they're dead.
‐‐ Neil deGrasse Tyson
The caricature of what George Osborne is doing on the fiscal side is absurd. If you read some of the commentary, particularly from the left, you would think he was turning the clock back to the 1930s.
‐‐ Nick Clegg
The caricatures that the mainstream media and the Democrats have about Republicans have taken hold.
‐‐ Kellyanne Conway
The Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching has been in existence for most of this century.
‐‐ C. Everett Koop
The Carnegie Foundation is well aware of the fact that their reports frequently find their way to dusty archives in academic institutions, but occasionally people pick up a segment of a report and act upon it.
‐‐ C. Everett Koop
The 'Carousel' overture has always been one of my all-time favorite pieces of music.
‐‐ Kelli O'Hara
The Carrie in the plot was too much like the Carrie in the book. She smoked, she swore a lot, she was very hard, very cynical. I could never have pulled it off.
‐‐ Kristin Davis
The Carrion Crow and Turkey-Buzzard possess great power of recollection, so as to recognise at a great distance a person who has shot at them, and even the horse on which he rides.
‐‐ John James Audubon
The carrying out of the Potsdam Agreement has, however, been obstructed by the failure of the Allied Control Council to take the necessary steps to enable the German economy to function as an economic unit.
‐‐ James F. Byrnes
The carrying power of a bridge is not the average strength of the pillars, but the strength of the weakest pillar. I have always believed that you do not measure the health of a society by GNP but by the condition of its worst off.
‐‐ Zygmunt Bauman
The cars haven't advanced that much since we were kids. When you boil it down, it's still a gas combustion engine.
‐‐ Dana Brunetti
The cars we drive say a lot about us.
‐‐ Alexandra Paul
The Carter Center has the only existing international taskforce on disease eradication. Which means a total elimination of a disease on the face of the Earth. In the history of the world, there's only been one disease eradicated: smallpox. The second disease, I think, is gonna be guinea worm.
‐‐ Jimmy Carter
The cartoon is a metaphor really for the fact that it's almost impossible in our celebrity obsessed culture to move around genres and sort of change you ideas, change your face, you know?
‐‐ Damon Albarn
The cartoons which I enjoy have caused some kind of out rage, but they have got people talking about these issues out in the open and in essence that's what its all about.
‐‐ Jonathan Shapiro
The case decided on Thursday, though, seemed promising to takings fans because it wasn't about compensation. It was about the requirement that any government taking must have a 'public purpose.'
‐‐ Michael Kinsley
The case for exploiting animals for food, clothing and entertainment often relies on our superior intelligence, language and self-awareness: the rights of the superior being trump those of the inferior.
‐‐ Michael Shermer
The case for freedom, the case for our constitutional principles the case for our heritage has to be made anew in each generation. The work of freedom is never done.
‐‐ Anthony Kennedy
The case is I talk for a living, so I should be able to say anything I want to say regardless of how you feel. What we're starting to deal with now is your opinion matters, but to be quite honest, your opinion means nothing.
‐‐ Patrice O'Neal
The case of the Seminoles constitutes at present the only exception to the successful efforts of the Government to remove the Indians to the homes assigned them west of the Mississippi.
‐‐ Martin Van Buren
The 'cash for clunkers' program was a big success in part because it gave people the sense that the economy was moving.
‐‐ Cass Sunstein
The casinos brought lots of revenue and jobs to our community. We've seen lots of benefits from those tax dollars.
‐‐ Tina Thompson
The cast and the crew made me feel really welcome. Towards the end it just got better and better.
‐‐ Charlotte Church
The cast called her Lucy, but everyone else called her Mrs. Ball. She was honest with people. If she liked you, you knew it. If she didn't, you knew it, also.
‐‐ Keith Thibodeaux
The cast clubs were a big part of it, too. I found I wasn't getting that instant feedback I was used to with a forged blade. The sweet spot is a shade bigger, and when I didn't hit the ball dead center, I didn't know it, because it still felt great.
‐‐ Payne Stewart
The cast gets along pretty well, it's a good work environment. I hang out a lot with Brett Claywell, he plays Tim Smith on the show. We play plenty of basketball.
‐‐ James Lafferty
The cast is so big that you really don't work very much.
‐‐ James Denton
The cast, led by the extraordinary Jennifer Lawrence, is absolutely wonderful across the board. It's such a pleasure to see how they've embodied the characters and brought them to life.
‐‐ Suzanne Collins
The cast of 'Lemonade Mouth' was picked so perfectly. A lot of people see us as a band on camera, but not a lot of people know that Lemonade Mouth was a band off-camera, too.
‐‐ Adam Hicks
The cast of 'Parks & Rec' is just a group of unbelievably nice, humble, down to earth, hilarious friends.
‐‐ Rob Lowe
The cast of 'Vikings' is a real team, a true ensemble. It's a mad, eclectic, great bunch! But we support each other and trust each other completely. There are no egos.
‐‐ Clive Standen
The cast of 'Zoey 101' are like a family to me.
‐‐ Paul Butcher
The cast was huge, but I never saw anybody.
‐‐ Dennis Farina
The caste systems of sex and race are interdependent and can only be uprooted together.
‐‐ Gloria Steinem
The casting directors that were aware of 'The Real World' looked at me as a joke. It was so hard to get away from that.
‐‐ Jamie Chung
The casting of 'Slumdog Millionaire' is a dream. Anil Kapoor, as the sleazy TV host, diamonds winking in his earlobes, has never been better; the quietly understated Irrfan Khan turns in another bravura performance as the police inspector whose questioning brings out Jamal's story.
‐‐ Shashi Tharoor
The casual listener won't be around forever.
‐‐ Mike Shinoda
The cat could very well be man's best friend but would never stoop to admitting it.
‐‐ Doug Larson
The Cat Dancer is a 30-inch piece of wire with some little cardboard cylinders on the end. My cats go crazy for it. I stuck it on the wall with the adhesive mount, but I ended up taking it off so I could hold it and play directly with my cats.
‐‐ Mark Frauenfelder
The cat is a dilettante in fur.
‐‐ Theophile Gautier
The cat is classic whilst the dog is Gothic - nowhere in the animal world can we discover such really Hellenic perfection of form, with anatomy adapted to function, as in the felidae.
‐‐ H. P. Lovecraft
The cat is such a perfect symbol of beauty and superiority that it seems scarcely possible for any true aesthete and civilised cynic to do other than worship it.
‐‐ H. P. Lovecraft
The cat, it is well to remember, remains the friend of man because it pleases him to do so and not because he must.
‐‐ Carl Van Vechten
