We would make songs, and the producers said we should play it for my dad. I was kind of scared, I didn't know what to think cuz we were just joking around.
‐‐ Lil' Romeo
We would much prefer to see ownership in the hands of the Maple Group, if only because we would much rather see Canadian ownership of our stock exchange. What we are first of all interested in is making sure that Montreal is able to preserve that niche or expertise.
‐‐ Jean Charest
We would never comment on private correspondence.
‐‐ Prince Charles
We would not be here if humanity were inherently evil. We'd have eaten ourselves alive long ago.
‐‐ Patton Oswalt
We would not be interested in human beings if we did not have the hope of someday meeting someone worse off than ourselves.
‐‐ Emile M. Cioran
We would not have been a successful family without my father and stepfather, who were working-class men with better dreams for their children. We just wore them out.
‐‐ James McBride
We would not have our country's vigour exhausted or her moral force abated, by everlasting meddling and muddling in every quarrel, great and small, which afflicts the world.
‐‐ Henry Cabot Lodge
We would not have our politics distracted and embittered by the dissensions of other lands.
‐‐ Henry Cabot Lodge
We would often be sorry if our wishes were gratified.
‐‐ Aesop
We would play songs live on stage, and then we'd watch their reaction we were receiving immediately, if people were dancing and singing along. If they weren't, then we'd go into the dressing rooms of the different NBA teams that we were playing in their arenas, and we'd change the songs right there.
‐‐ Michael Franti
We would play, then they would play a set, then we would jam on the last song.
‐‐ Charlie Byrd
We would rather have our employees running our business.
‐‐ James Sinegal
We would rather speak ill of ourselves than not talk about ourselves at all.
‐‐ Francois de La Rochefoucauld
We would sift through every inch of what it was that worked, or if it didn't, and wonder what was effective in it, in terms of paint, the subject matter, the size, the drawing.
‐‐ Helen Frankenthaler
We would take a little bit of money out of a huge increase in ballistic missile defense and put it in a place where it will do a lot of good, namely, in targeted pay increases to our enlisted personnel, particularly our NCOs and our junior warrant officers.
‐‐ John Spratt
We would turn everything into songs in those days.
‐‐ Arlo Guthrie
We would very much like to see Iran take a position as a responsible leader that doesn't intimidate or threaten or scare its neighbors and others. But the choice is really up to Iran and we're going to keep working to try to come out with the right decision.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
We would write scripts, like for 'Shutterbugs.' Then when we shot it, everyone just came up with new stuff. We've definitely learned how to do it better as we've gotten along. So basically, that's how it went. We just go in with ideas and try to figure out funny stuff while we're there.
‐‐ Jason Woliner
We wouldn't be as far along as a country if we didn't take on some of Martin Luther King's ways that he instilled in us.
‐‐ Rodney King
We wouldn't have done it if we didn't think we could have fun with it.
‐‐ Ethan Coen
We wouldn't have to speak so critically if businesses would stop feeding dead animals to live ones, putting non-food substances into food, tinkering with genetic codes, and spraying the countryside with poisons.
‐‐ Donella Meadows
We wouldn't think of going to our doctor and saying 'Treat me the way doctors treated people in the 19th Century,' and yet that's what we're demanding in food production.
‐‐ Nina Fedoroff
We wouldn't turn over our customs service or our border patrol to a foreign government. We shouldn't turn over the ports of the United States, either.
‐‐ Bob Menendez
We write about ourselves because we know about ourselves.
‐‐ Layne Staley
We write because we believe the human spirit cannot be tamed and should not be trained.
‐‐ Nikki Giovanni
We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans - because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That's why we paint, that's why we dare to love someone - because we have the impulse to explain who we are.
‐‐ Maya Angelou
We write for those who get the musical jokes. But for those who don't, there is always something else going on. That's why we have such a widespread audience.
‐‐ Richard Hyung-ki Joo
We write in ways that, we generally hope, reflect real life, or at least look familiar to humans. And in life, recurring themes are a recurring theme. We never quite conquer a pet vice or a relationship pattern or a communication habit. We're haunted by our particular demons.
‐‐ Sara Zarr
We write not only for children but also for their parents. They, too, are serious children.
‐‐ Isaac Bashevis Singer
We writers are shy, nocturnal creatures. Push us into the light and the light blinds us.
‐‐ John Banville
We writers, as we work our way deeper into our craft, learn to drop more and more personal clues. Like burglars who secretly wish to be caught, we leave our fingerprints on broken locks, our voiceprints in bugged rooms, our footprints in the wet concrete.
‐‐ Ross MacDonald
We writers of series fiction tend to idealize ourselves in our characters, giving them attributes we wish we possessed and ever more interesting lives.
‐‐ Marcia Muller
We wrote verses that condemned us, with no hope of pardon, to the most bitter solitude.
‐‐ Salvatore Quasimodo
We wrote what sounded good to us and hoped it would find a home.
‐‐ Cynthia Weil
We yearn, as spirit children of our Heavenly Father, for that joy which we once had with Him in the life before this one. His desire is to grant us that sacred wish for unity out of His love for us.
‐‐ Henry B. Eyring
We young Filipinos are trying to make over a nation and must not halt in our march, but from time to time turn our gaze upon our elders. We shall wish to read in their countenances approval of our actions.
‐‐ Jose Rizal
We younger Negro artists who create now intend to express our individual dark-skinned selves without fear or shame. If white people are pleased, we are glad. If they are not, it doesn't matter. We know we are beautiful. And ugly too.
‐‐ Langston Hughes
Weak and oppressed nations are fundamentally spiritual; strong nations are, as a rule, chiefly materialistic.
‐‐ Ameen Rihani
Weak eyes are fondest of glittering objects.
‐‐ Thomas Carlyle
Weak minds exaggerate too much the wrong done to the Africans.
‐‐ Charles de Secondat
Weak minds sink under prosperity as well as adversity; but strong and deep ones have two high tides.
‐‐ David Hare
Weak passwords are a crook's best friend. Make yours long and complex, and change them often - not just on your bank account but on your email and social media, too.
‐‐ Jean Chatzky
Weak presidents are neither respected nor electorally rewarded by their publics.
‐‐ Monica Crowley
Weaklings must lie.
‐‐ Jean Paul
Weakness is provocative.
‐‐ Trent Franks
Weakness is something we don't like to admit we have. We hold it against people, until we experience it, and then we feel more compassion for it.
‐‐ Olivia Wilde
Weakness is what brings ignorance, cheapness, racism, homophobia, desperation, cruelty, brutality, all these things that will keep a society chained to the ground, one foot nailed to the floor.
‐‐ Henry Rollins
Weakness of attitude becomes weakness of character.
‐‐ Albert Einstein
Weakness of character is the only defect which cannot be amended.
‐‐ Francois de La Rochefoucauld
