When Gordon Brown becomes prime minister, the balance sheet that reflects his economic stewardship could look very sickly indeed. He could become Labour's biggest liability, not its most marketable asset.

When Gordon the Brown, in London in 1997, commissioned a great inquisition or survey of his new realm, the result was the so-called national asset register, which was immediately dubbed by the boomers of the UK Treasury 'the modern Domesday Book.'

When Gore Vidal was coming up, there were three major channels, and he could count on a big audience when he debated someone like William F. Buckley on TV.

When governments are selling, you should be buying. And when governments are defaulting, we should look at that as an opportunity.
‐‐ David Bonderman
When governments become large, voters cannot exercise close oversight, otherwise known as political power.
‐‐ Maggie Gallagher
When governments rely increasingly on sophisticated public relations agencies, public debate disappears and is replaced by competing propaganda campaigns, with all the accompanying deceits. Advertising isn't about truth or fairness or rationality, but about mobilising deeper and more primitive layers of the human mind.
‐‐ Brian Eno
When governments run on petro dollars or petro revenue instead of taxes, then they kind of sever the link between taxation and representation, and if you're not being taxed, then you're not being represented.

When Governor Romney asked me to join the ticket, I said, 'Let's get this done' - and that is exactly, what we're going to do.
‐‐ Paul Ryan
When Governor Romney was out here, I told him, I said, 'we are following the formula of streamlining regulations, being job creating friendly, balancing budgets, cutting taxes, and, you know, using common sense. And if you get to be president, we are going to do more of that.'

When grace happens, we receive not a nice compliment from God but a new heart. Give your heart to Christ, and he returns the favor.
‐‐ Max Lucado
When grace is joined with wrinkles, it is adorable. There is an unspeakable dawn in happy old age.
‐‐ Victor Hugo
When grand plans for scientific and defence technologies are made, do the people in power think about the sacrifices the people in the laboratories and fields have to make?
‐‐ A. P. J. Abdul Kalam
When grandpa was ill and could've died, I would have swapped all my record sales so he could get well. He is the reason I am a singer. He was my best friend growing up.
‐‐ Michael Buble
When granted many years of life, growing old in age is natural, but growing old with grace is a choice. Growing older with grace is possible for all who will set their hearts and minds on the Giver of grace, the Lord Jesus Christ.
‐‐ Billy Graham
When gravitational waves reach the earth, the waves stretch and squeeze space. This is a tiny stretch and squeeze. Far too small to detect with ordinary human senses.
‐‐ Kip Thorne
When great changes occur in history, when great principles are involved, as a rule the majority are wrong.
‐‐ Eugene V. Debs
When grief is deepest, words are fewest.
‐‐ Ann Voskamp
When gross public debt exceeds 90 percent of GDP, economic growth tends to decline considerably.
‐‐ Kevin McCarthy
When Grover Norquist launched his project to name anything and everything after Ronald Reagan, I humbly proposed that the deficit be re-christened 'the Reagan.'
‐‐ Timothy Noah
When growing up, I saw segregation. I saw racial discrimination. I saw those signs that said white men, colored men. White women, colored women. White waiting. And I didn't like it.
‐‐ John Lewis
When growth is slower-than-expected, stocks go down. When inflation is higher-than-expected, bonds go down. When inflation is lower-than-expected, bonds go up.
‐‐ Ray Dalio
When guys do books or stories, all I like to see is the truth.
‐‐ Pete Rose
When guys talk about sex, eyebrows don't get raised. It's different for girls.
‐‐ Lauren Myracle
When handling the ball, I always would look for daylight, wherever there was daylight.
‐‐ Julius Erving
When Hank Jones had his night off, I would get somebody to take my place as intermission pianist and I'd play the show with Ella, so I would get a chance to play with Ray Brown and Charlie Smith as well.
‐‐ George Shearing
When 'happiness' eludes us - as, eventually, it always will - we have the invitation to examine our programmed responses and to exercise our power to choose again.
‐‐ Richard Rohr
When Harvard men say they have graduated from Radcliffe, then we've made it.
‐‐ Jackie Kennedy
When has stand-up comedy been kind to anyone? It goes after anyone who's the target. Comedy attacks, man.
‐‐ Sam Kinison
When have you ever heard of a cantor or any artist turning anyone down when he is strongly urged to perform?
‐‐ Sholom Aleichem
When having my portrait painted I don't want justice, I want mercy.
‐‐ Billy Hughes
When he asked if I would like to try second base, I thought, Hey, get me in the lineup.
‐‐ Bobby Thomson
When he asked me, with obvious self-satisfaction, what I thought of the scenario, I hardly knew how to answer. I asked if he had seen the play and was hardly surprised when he said no.
‐‐ Elmer Rice
When he brought it to me four years ago, Rodney King had just arrived, I was involved in the clean-up of L.A. and I guess it was part of my experience.
‐‐ Kathryn Bigelow
When he came back from downtown, he had forgotten to bring his license, his identification, the $2 for the wedding license. So we got married two days later.
‐‐ Eydie Gorme
When he came to television, there was no way I wasn't going to watch. Of course, he delivered everything that you would expect David Lynch to deliver, and more, and he was doing it in primetime network television. Even as a 14-year old, I wanted someone in the room with me that I could look over and say, 'Can you believe we're watching this?'
‐‐ James Roday
When he died, Emerson was thought of as the representative American writer par excellence, and his point of view was still so potent that William James was honored to be asked to speak at a centenary celebration.
‐‐ Howard Mumford Jones
When he emerged Lou Dobbs the populist, he was so hard to peg. A mishmash of contradictions: anti-outsourcing, anti-globalization, pro-international-trade, pro-free-enterprise, anti-corporatism, pro-choice, pro-Second Amendment, pro-gay-marriage, pro-gays-serving-openly-in-the-military, pro-military, anti-war-in-Iraq-and-Afghanistan.
‐‐ Jeanne Marie Laskas
When he entered the Oval Office - by fate, not by design - Citizen Ford knew that he was not perfect, just as he knew he was not perfect when he left. But what president ever was?
‐‐ Tom Brokaw
When he first started - Jim Henson, who created Bid Bird and Oscar - he said Big Bird was just a big, goofy guy. And it was - a script came along and I said, 'I think Big Bird would be much more useful to the show if he were a child learning all the things we were teaching in the show.' And so he didn't know the alphabet, even, for instance.
‐‐ Caroll Spinney
When he hit a ground ball to you, you knew you had to make a good throw because he was going to be running.
‐‐ Juan Marichal
When he hung up on Nancy Reagan, that's when he crossed his final threshold.
‐‐ David Gergen
When he is late for dinner and I know he must be either having an affair or lying dead in the street, I always hope he's dead.
‐‐ Judith Viorst
When he realized who he'd pulled over, the policeman shook his head in disbelief. He told me of all people I should know better. He gave me a real dressing down, but let me go.
‐‐ Dennis Franz
When he's healthy, Zach Randolph for the Memphis Grizzlies has always been somebody that has always been very tough to play against.
‐‐ Kevin Love
When he's late for dinner, I know he's either having an affair or is lying dead in the street. I always hope it's the street.
