The common faults of American language are an ambition of effect, a want of simplicity, and a turgid abuse of terms.
‐‐ James F. Cooper
The common fisheries policy essentially gave other European Union nations unfettered access to our fish stocks and - I would hope - that if we leave the European Union, we can once more see the ports of Peterborough and Fraserhead and Grimsby flourishing, because we will take back control of our territorial waters.
‐‐ Michael Gove
The common intuition is that e-books should be cheap because they aren't physical - no printing, no shipping.
‐‐ Virginia Postrel
The common liberal orthodoxy that living close to the land leads to eco-awareness is historically naive, considering that Mesopotamia, northern Africa, and the Mayan civilization were ruined by people who had lived there quite a long while.
‐‐ Gregory Benford
The common misconception is that as an actress you have to learn what you're doing. No, you just have to make the audience think you've learned it.
‐‐ Edie Falco
The common moral praxis of Jews and Christians is most definitely theologically informed by the doctrine we share in common: The human person, male and female, is created in the image of God.
‐‐ David Novak
The common Notions of Liberty are not from School Divines, but from Nature.
‐‐ Algernon Sidney
The common people have no history: persecuted by the present, they cannot think of preserving the memory of the past.
‐‐ Jean Henri Fabre
The common person fears to think beyond the common.
‐‐ Bryant H. McGill
The common question that gets asked in business is, 'why?' That's a good question, but an equally valid question is, 'why not?'
‐‐ Jeff Bezos
The common, the quotidian, is so much more unyielding to me, really stubborn and hard to work with, and I like this because it makes me think and it makes me worry. I can't just plunge my hand into the meat of it. I need new approaches.
‐‐ Ben Marcus
The common thread for everything I do is this idea of a Web-services architecture. What does that mean? It means taking components of software and systems and having them be self-describing, so that you can aim them, ask them what their capabilities are, and communicate with them using a standard protocol.
‐‐ Bill Gates
The common thread in all my projects is 'girls being awesome.' Can we make that a genre?
‐‐ Rae Carson
The common wisdom is that only about 1 percent of a novelist's research ends up in his or her book. In my experience, it's even less - closer to a tenth of a percent.
‐‐ Gayle Lynds
The commonality between science and art is in trying to see profoundly - to develop strategies of seeing and showing.
‐‐ Edward Tufte
The commonest error made in relation to poetry is that it consists simply in verse-making. Many confound the casket of meter and rhyme with the jewel of thought which it encloses, and, perhaps, in some instances, after close investigation, they have found the casket empty and turned away with feelings of disappointment and disgust.
‐‐ Orson F. Whitney
The commonplace about Italian cooking is that it's very simple; in practice, the simplicity needs to be learned, and the best way to learn it is to go to Italy and see it firsthand.
‐‐ Bill Buford
The Commonwealth is a vital and positive partnership between countries striving to develop trade relations and promote democracy and human rights, united by shared values.
‐‐ Douglas Alexander
The Commonwealth is one of three belts I want to win before going for a world title.
‐‐ Billy Saunders
The Commonwealth of Kentucky has a judicial system, and this system needs a lot of repair. Therefore, there is no need for Kentucky to start building another judicial system within the system, that we already have.
‐‐ Sonny Landham
The Commonwealth Prize is about celebrating the Commonwealth and the special relationship we have with the ex-colonies - which is part guilt and part warmth - and the Booker Prize isn't an essential part of that, but it is part of that.
‐‐ Jim Crace
The commune movement is part of a reawakening of belief in the possibilities for utopia that existed in the nineteenth century and exist again today, a belief that by creating the right social institution, human satisfaction and growth can be achieved.
‐‐ Rosabeth Moss Kanter
The communication is in the work and words are no substitute for this.
‐‐ Mary Martin
The communication of the dead is tongued with fire beyond the language of the living.
‐‐ T. S. Eliot
The communications delays between Earth and Mars can be half an hour or more, so the people on the ground can't participate minute by minute in Mars surface activities.
‐‐ Henry Spencer
The communications industry has been tremendously successful, but we need to build the railroads and the oil wells and the gold mines of space.
‐‐ Peter Diamandis
The communism of Karl Marx would probably be actually the best for everybody as a whole. But what he didn't figure into was human nature, and that's what corrupts it.
‐‐ Jesse Ventura
The communism of Marx seeks a strong state centralization, and where this exists, there the parasitic Jewish nation - which speculates upon the labor of people - will always find the means for its existence.
‐‐ Mikhail Bakunin
The Communist bloc of old was a study in the failure of failure. Losers in the Soviet economy were the people at the end of the long lines for consumer goods. Worse losers were the people who had spent hours getting to the head of the line, only to be told that the goods were unavailable.
‐‐ P. J. O'Rourke
The communist model does not work economically, we all realised that, but the capitalist model in the modern world also looks to be unsustainable.
‐‐ Arsene Wenger
The Communist Party said that I must finish my studies because after the revolution in Germany people would be required with technical knowledge to take part in the building of the Communist Germany.
‐‐ Klaus Fuchs
The Communist regime didn't consider this to be a shining moment in history and assigned no heroism to it. They classified it as merely an accident.
‐‐ Kathryn Bigelow
The Communists at that moment were very strong in Italy, and the Italian Communist Party was the biggest Communist Party outside the Soviet Union.
‐‐ Giovanni Agnelli
The Communists automatically violated the daily practices of democracy to which I was accustomed.
‐‐ Elia Kazan
The Communists were interested in getting into key positions as union officers, statisticians, economists, etc., in order to utilize the apparatus of the unions to promote the cause of revolution.
‐‐ John T. Flynn
The communitarians may say you've been enjoying too much individual freedom, and that you must give up some of that for the benefit of the community. But they really mean that they want more power over your life - to force you to subsidize, obey and conform to their choices.
‐‐ Harry Browne
The communities and countries best at using energy to optimize a microclimate for human life are also the ones whose people have the longest average lifespans. Canada, Sweden, and Iceland - places with inhospitable winter weather - are frontrunners in sustaining human health and life.
‐‐ Chris Hadfield
The community in which one hears the voice of God structures how one hears that voice and interprets what it says.
‐‐ David Novak
The 'community method' can only be applied in those areas in which the European Union actually has competence. Where the community has no competence, the 'community method' clearly cannot be applied.
‐‐ Angela Merkel
The community of developers whose work you see on the Web, who probably don't know what ADO or UML or JPA even stand for, deploy better systems at less cost in less time at lower risk than we see in the Enterprise. This is true even when you factor in the greater flexibility and velocity of startups.
‐‐ Tim Bray
The community of masses of human beings has produced an order of life in regulated channels which connects individuals in a technically functioning organisation, but not inwardly from the historicity of their souls.
‐‐ Karl Jaspers
The community of poets I belong to is not as close as it used to be, if only for the fact that our lives have become busier: jobs, children, and the like.
‐‐ John Barton
The community which has neither poverty nor riches will always have the noblest principles.
‐‐ Plato
The companies that are the most influential and most successful are the ones that care about impact and the influence they have on the world.
‐‐ Paul Buchheit
The companies that do the best job on managing a user's privacy will be the companies that ultimately are the most successful.
‐‐ Fred Wilson
The companies that do well are the companies that use math.
‐‐ Kevin Plank
The companies that I really admire the most are the ones that have a deep visceral understanding of why people use their service, and they figure out ways of making money that are completely consistent with how people are feeling and what they are doing at the time.
‐‐ Ben Silbermann
The companies that make meaningful contributions while also listening to the voices of others are the ones that will genuinely engage their community, who will then go to work for them.
‐‐ Simon Mainwaring
The companies that survive longest are the one's that work out what they uniquely can give to the world not just growth or money but their excellence, their respect for others, or their ability to make people happy. Some call those things a soul.
