We can no longer take our own way of life for granted - we know that it may be challenged. And we know this, too - and know it ever more deeply - we know that freedom and democracy are not just big words mouthed by orators but the rain and the wind and the sun, the air and the light by which we breathe and live.
‐‐ Stephen Vincent Benet
We can no longer tolerate losing one more innocent child or putting one more firefighter at risk in a fire that could have been prevented at the cost of pennies by making a couple simple changes to the construction of a cigarette.
‐‐ Ed Markey
We can no longer waste time and money. Every day, more than 2,000 girls in America, age 15-19, give birth - in the wealthiest, most educated nation in the world! Neither you nor I should accept this statistic.
‐‐ Jane Fonda
We can no more do without spirituality than we can do without food, shelter, or clothing.
‐‐ Ernest Holmes
We can no more tolerate neutrality and benevolence toward every conceivable form of discourse, including that of magical thinking, than we can lump together executioner and victim, good and evil.
‐‐ Michel Onfray
We can not continue to allow this over reliance on government to replace the cornerstone institution that has made the American experience possible.
‐‐ Marco Rubio
We can not control the aging reversal to a specific year today, that will come in the future. It is hypothesized that you will not reverse in physical appearance to less than a young adult. We see this in mice as well.
‐‐ Liz Parrish
We can not have equilibrium in this world with the current inequality and destruction of Mother Earth. Capitalism is what is causing this problem and it needs to end.
‐‐ Evo Morales
We can not play innocents abroad in a world that is not innocent.
‐‐ Ronald Reagan
We can not underestimate the potential harm North Korea's capabilities can cause for the rest of the world.
‐‐ Zach Wamp
We can not wait until we have enough trained people willing to work at a teacher's salary and under conditions imposed upon teachers in order to improve what happens in the classroom.
‐‐ Major Owens
We can now diagnose diseases that haven't even manifested in the patient, and may not until the fifth decade of life - if at all.
‐‐ Craig Venter
We can now have action movies with two stars where one might be African American and one might be Asian American. One of them doesn't have to be white, and the other one doesn't have to be the ethnic sidekick. We're way over that. And I think it's happening in society, too.
‐‐ Roger Ebert
We can now with Google Glasses record everything around us, and we can make sure that nothing is ever forgotten because everything is stored somewhere in Google servers or somewhere else.
‐‐ Evgeny Morozov
We can only be said to be alive in those moments when our hearts are conscious of our treasures.
‐‐ Thornton Wilder

‐‐ Michael Bloomberg
We can only imagine the history of the free world today if, at the end of the Civil War, there had been two countries: the United States and the Confederate States of America.
‐‐ Douglas Brinkley
We can only imagine what would happen to our health care and to the quality of our health care here in North Dakota if we took the federal government out of health care.
‐‐ Heidi Heitkamp
We can only know one thing about God - that he is what we are not. Our wretchedness alone is an image of this. The more we contemplate it, the more we contemplate him.
‐‐ Simone Weil
We can only learn to know ourselves and do what we can - namely, surrender our will and fulfill God's will in us.
‐‐ Saint Teresa of Avila
We can only learn to love by loving.
‐‐ Iris Murdoch
We can only move to a long-term resolution regarding terrorism and war by planting seeds of peace. We have to start with ourselves.
‐‐ Peter Yarrow
We can only query against that which we have collected. And so if someone has never made a ripple in the pond in Syria in a way that would get their identity or their interest reflected in our database, we can query our database until the cows come home, but there will be nothing show up because we have no record of them.
‐‐ James Comey
We can only reason from what is; we can reason on actualities, but not on possibilities.
‐‐ Thomas Paine
We can only restore faith in government if the state itself becomes an efficient, effective and transparent ally of the people. Bureaucratic inefficiencies, abuses of power and the misappropriation of public funds must end.
‐‐ Victor Ponta
We can only see a short distance ahead, but we can see plenty there that needs to be done.
‐‐ Alan Turing
We can only solve our biggest problems if we come together and embrace the freedoms that our Founding Fathers established right here in Philadelphia, which permitted our ancestors to create the great American exceptionalism that all of us now enjoy.
‐‐ Michael Bloomberg
We can only take it so far, because man can only take it so far, lower self can only take it so far, and you have to realize that the public is only at a certain place.
‐‐ Alice Cooper
We can only talk to those who opt for the sovereign, territorially integral, secular, multiethnic and multi-confessional Syria.
‐‐ Sergei Lavrov
We can only undo the election if the behavior meets the constitutional standard of subverting and threatening our system of government.
‐‐ Zoe Lofgren
We can only win by giving everything and being ready to defeat the adversary with fiery aggression.
‐‐ Jurgen Klinsmann
We can only write well about our sins because it is too difficult to recall a virtuous act or even whether it was the result of good or evil motives.
‐‐ Edward Dahlberg
We can overcome evil with greater good.
‐‐ Laura Bush
We can pay our debts to the past by putting the future in debt to ourselves.
‐‐ John Buchan
We can pay the ecological debt by changing economic models, and by giving up luxury consumption, setting aside selfishness and individualism, and thinking about the people and the planet Earth.
‐‐ Evo Morales
We can play politics, or we can reduce crime.
‐‐ Bobby Scott
We can power our economy without despoiling our wild places.
‐‐ Frances Beinecke
We can practice tolerance while still holding true to cultural values that protect the institution of marriage as a union between only a man and a woman.
‐‐ Ken Calvert
We can preserve Social Security benefits for generations of Americans without privatizing this important program.
‐‐ Richard Neal
We can pretend that China is not there. But China is there, and unless we put our economy on the right track, it is going to overwhelm us completely.
‐‐ Salman Khurshid
We can prevent Europe from becoming a spiritless machine that, in the end, grinds to a halt.
‐‐ Jan Peter Balkenende
We can prevent unfair advantage, and we can avoid the destabilizing effect that high frequency trading can have.
‐‐ Eric Schneiderman
We can produce more per acre on a fifth of the fuel as the industrial food system.
‐‐ Joel Salatin
We can provide beta software to our developers in advance of the general public. We can easily link up with external partners, customers, and suppliers.
‐‐ Jim Barksdale
We can push Montana forward and we can do it with out raising taxes.
‐‐ Brian Schweitzer
We can put our head in the sand and continue to lose jobs overseas and to other states, or we can say, 'You know what? We are not going to lose another job from California, and we're going to be the very best place to start and grow a business.' So I'll be the chief sales officer for California businesses.
‐‐ Meg Whitman
We can put television in its proper light by supposing that Gutenberg's great invention had been directed at printing only comic books.
‐‐ Robert M. Hutchins
We can quiet our minds enough to tune in to what our bodies are telling us - I believe in angels - and we need to listen to the messages being sent. They are real messages - just as real as a human saying something to you.
‐‐ Zoe McLellan
We can raise our sights high when we're willing to break free from being conformists who live a conventional life simply because we are too afraid to express our uniqueness.
‐‐ Alexandra Stoddard
We can reach our potential, but to do so, we must reach within ourselves. We must summon the strength, the will, and the faith to move forward - to be bold - to invest in our future.
