Unlike the fast-paced world of racing, there is nothing rushed about growing grapes. They take their time lazily basking in the summer sun, and come fall, as I watch them impatiently, waiting for that perfect balance needed to harvest, I swear they call out to me, 'What's the hurry?'

Unlike the federal government, most states don't have the option of running a deficit.
‐‐ Marcia Angell
Unlike the general public, I rather like most politicians.
‐‐ Andrew Marr
Unlike the heart or kidney, which have a small, defined set of cell types, we still do not have a taxonomy of neurons, and neuroscientists still argue whether specific types of neurons are unique to humans. But there is no disputing that neurons are only about 10 percent of the cells in the human brain.
‐‐ Thomas R. Insel
Unlike the Holocaust, Stalin's murders are forgotten: dust blowing in the wind.
‐‐ Robert Harris
Unlike the interference of ordinary interest, power, or prejudice, which touches philosophy only at its outskirts and becomes at most a matter for philosophical tactics, the claim of revelation to the highest truth touches philosophy at its core and must affect its whole strategy.
‐‐ Hans Jonas
Unlike the issue of messiahhood, which arose when Jews and Christians were members of the same religio-political community and spoke the same conceptual language, the issues of the incarnation and the Trinity divide people who are no longer members of the same community and who no longer speak the same language.
‐‐ David Novak
Unlike the Kennedy dynasty, who always knew how to pay off people who might make trouble, the Windsors can't bring themselves to part with any royal trinkets.
‐‐ Tina Brown
Unlike the LeBrons and A-Rods of the world, anointed as special from pre-K, Matt Leinart exudes an approachability rarely seen in superstars. It's why kids on the autograph line chat him up like a buddy with whom they could stay up late playing Xbox.
‐‐ Stephen Rodrick
Unlike the majority of the writers of his age, La Rochefoucauld was an aristocrat; and this fact gives a peculiar tone to his work.
‐‐ Lytton Strachey
Unlike the Marxists, I have no mind block against the U.S.
‐‐ Mamata Banerjee
Unlike the messier MySpace, Facebook has a cleaner and easier-to-customize interface and is much more, as Zuckerberg once described it to me, 'utilitarian.' I would call it useful and more relevant than other competitors, and a white-label version would likely be a hit.
‐‐ Kara Swisher
Unlike the objective of far too many companies, manufacturing is not about a quick 'exit.' It is centered on long-term value creation.
‐‐ Hamdi Ulukaya
Unlike the phone system, which is engineered around an application, the Internet layered model allows you to, in essence, separate applications from infrastructure.
‐‐ Michael K. Powell
Unlike the primate hand, the elephant's grasping organ is also its nose. Elephants use their trunks not only to reach food but also to sniff and touch it. With their unparalleled sense of smell, the animals know exactly what they are going for. Vision is secondary.
‐‐ Frans de Waal
Unlike the Reagan and Bush Administrations, with but one exception, the Clinton administration failed to reach out to Republicans in creating a new team, and eventually paid a political price.
‐‐ Richard V. Allen
Unlike the Soviet Communist party, the Chinese Communist party chose to introduce capitalism.
‐‐ Martin Jacques
Unlike the stage, I never found it helpful to be good in a bad movie.
‐‐ Gene Tierney
Unlike the stereotypical author, I've never had a job as a short-order cook, but I love cooking hot breakfasts for lots of people, juggling the eggs and the bacon and the tomatoes and the fried potatoes and so on.
‐‐ Garth Nix
Unlike the Tea Party, who see themselves as the customers of government, people in the Occupy Wall Street movement understand that we are the government. Stated most simply, we are trying to run a 21st-century society on a 13th-century economic operating system. It just doesn't work.
‐‐ Douglas Rushkoff
Unlike the Tory millionaires, I live in the heart of the proud working-class community of the Bogside in Derry.
‐‐ Martin McGuinness
Unlike the traditional athlete, I've got to do more than just engage in my sport to put food on the table. When I'm done running, it's straight to the office.
‐‐ Dean Karnazes
Unlike the United Kingdom or the Commonwealth, the umma, or Muslim community, has no symbolic leader, let alone a formal one.
‐‐ Ayaan Hirsi Ali
Unlike the United States Congress, which mostly forbids outside employment, state legislatures are generally composed of people with other careers.
‐‐ Bill Dedman
Unlike their Western counterparts, Africans take elections very seriously - rising up early to queue patiently in line for hours under the hot sun and cast their ballots. Any misguided attempt to nullify or steal their votes will evoke a strong reaction from them.
‐‐ George Ayittey
Unlike then, the mail stream of today has diminished by such things as e-mails and faxes and cell phones and text messages, largely electronic means of communication that replace mail.
‐‐ John M. McHugh
Unlike traditional nursing homes, Green House homes provide elders with a high quality of life and quality of care in a setting that feels like a real home. By altering the facility size, interior design, staffing patterns and service-delivery method, the Green House model provides residents better, safer and more personalized care.
‐‐ Risa Lavizzo-Mourey
Unlike uranium, plutonium was created in an American lab in 1940, but scientists soon realized that it could produce even wilder chain reactions and even bigger explosions. In fact, fearing another country would create it, too, the American government went to great lengths to keep even the existence of plutonium a secret.
‐‐ Sam Kean
Unlike us, machines do not have a 'nature' consistent across vast reaches of time. They are, at least to begin with, whatever we set in motion - with an inbuilt tendency towards the exponential.
‐‐ Tom Chatfield
Unlike with any other art form, filmmakers have this unique web of festivals. There are hundreds. It is a democratic system in which you submit films, and if they are good enough, they play. The only barrier to entry is the submission fee.
‐‐ Jason Reitman
Unlike with the majority of library books, when you enter a term into a search engine there is no guarantee that what you will find is authoritative, accurate or even vaguely true.
‐‐ Howard Rheingold
'Unlikely Brothers' talks about the importance of citizen action and shows why and how we can make a difference.
‐‐ John Prendergast
Unlimited choice is paralyzing. The Internet has made this form of paralysis due to option overload a standard feature of comfortable modern life.
‐‐ Susan Orlean
Unlimited economic growth has the marvelous quality of stilling discontent while maintaining privilege, a fact that has not gone unnoticed among liberal economists.
‐‐ Noam Chomsky
Unmarried couples should get married - that's an excellent tax avoidance measure, if a bit drastic.
‐‐ John Whiting
Unnecessary possessions are unnecessary burdens. If you have them, you have to take care of them! There is great freedom in simplicity of living. It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.
‐‐ Peace Pilgrim
Unplanned pregnancy is an equal-opportunity affliction.
‐‐ Ann McLane Kuster
Unpleasant reading on the subject of anger tells us that there's not really anything wrong with it. In limited amounts. It can even be a good thing. A pressure valve.
‐‐ Dick Cavett
Unpledged delegates exist really to make sure that party leaders and elected officials don't have to be in a position where they are running against grassroots activists.
‐‐ Debbie Wasserman Schultz
Unprecedented financial pressures, and an ever-increasingly aggressive public culture, along with social, moral and spiritual fragmentation, are leading to lives being overwhelmed by stress, intolerable interior isolation and even quiet despair.
‐‐ Sean Brady
Unprecedented technological capabilities combined with unlimited human creativity have given us tremendous power to take on intractable problems like poverty, unemployment, disease, and environmental degradation. Our challenge is to translate this extraordinary potential into meaningful change.
‐‐ Muhammad Yunus
Unpredictability means what it means. I don't know how you define it. It is what it is.
‐‐ Michael Keaton
Unpredictability, too, can become monotonous.
‐‐ Eric Hoffer
Unprovided with original learning, unformed in the habits of thinking, unskilled in the arts of composition, I resolved to write a book.
‐‐ Edward Gibbon
Unprovoked attacks on Israel's borders, murdering Israeli soldiers, taking Israeli hostages and showering rockets targeting and killing Israeli civilians are not furthering any legitimate goal.
‐‐ Alcee Hastings
Unquestionably, American political rhetoric can be repugnant, and the Right can certainly be as guilty as the Left.
‐‐ John Podhoretz
Unquestionably, it is possible to do without happiness; it is done involuntarily by nineteen-twentieths of mankind.
‐‐ John Stuart Mill
Unquestionably, it is the duty of every master to watch over the religious and moral culture of his slaves, and to give them every comfort and privilege that is not incompatible with the continued existence of the relations between them.
‐‐ Roger B. Taney
Unquestionably, it was going to be highly dangerous. Yet I felt it was quite natural to jump at the task. After all, if you don't like action and excitement, you don't go into police work. And, what the hell, I figured, nobody lives forever!
‐‐ Eliot Ness
