A high percentage of organisations develop a military rationale, whereby only a very small number of people make all of the decisions. There is little wonder, then, that people aren't keen to get out of bed and come to work on a Monday morning.

A high-powered, successful woman doesn't necessarily have the same support behind her that a man in that position would. Plus, she's expected to be a domestic goddess, as well as the best wife, mother, friend, and lover. But it's not just in politics: you see it in acting, too, and in journalism.

A high-quality public education can build much-needed skills and knowledge. It can help children reach their God-given potential. It can stabilize communities and democracies. It can strengthen economies. It can combat the kind of fear and despair that evolves into hatred.
‐‐ Randi Weingarten
A high school and college degree are linked to greater employment prospects, higher earning potential, and the ability to contribute more to our communities.
‐‐ Lynn Schusterman
A high-speed connection is no more an essential civil right than 3G cell phone service or a Netflix account. Increasing competition and restoring academic excellence in abysmal public schools is far more of an imperative to minority children than handing them iPads.
‐‐ Michelle Malkin
A high standard of living cannot remain the exclusive possession of the West - and the sooner we can help other peoples to develop their resources, raise their living standards, and strengthen their national independence, the safer the world will be for us all.
‐‐ Robert Kennedy
A high station in life is earned by the gallantry with which appalling experiences are survived with grace.
‐‐ Tennessee Williams
A highbrow is the kind of person who looks at a sausage and thinks of Picasso.
‐‐ Alan Patrick Herbert
A higher rate of urgency does not imply ever-present panic, anxiety, or fear. It means a state in which complacency is virtually absent.
‐‐ John P. Kotter
A highly developed stock exchange cannot be a club for the cult of ethics.
‐‐ Max Weber
A highly visible, shared identity can help bring activists from different backgrounds together with a common sense of purpose and push for change more effectively - from the global stage to within their own communities and families.

A highway sign used to welcome people to New Haven, birthplace of President George W. Bush. But it was vandalized so much, it was finally taken down for good.
‐‐ Matt Apuzzo
A historian is battling all the time to remember as much as possible.
‐‐ Niall Ferguson
A historic investment in jobs, debt-free college, profit sharing, making those at the top pay their fair share, putting families first in a modern economy and a democracy where working people's voices are actually heard. That is what we are fighting for in this election.
‐‐ Hillary Clinton
A historical event represents the best and the worst of that moment.
‐‐ Rachel Kushner
A historical romance is the only kind of book where chastity really counts.
‐‐ Barbara Cartland
A history of perceived humiliation, after all, lurks behind many acts of terror. And competing narratives of victimhood and insults sustain conflicts in the Balkans, the Caucasus, the Middle East and many other regions.

A hit film is what we work for as actors, as that goes to show that we have managed to entertain our audiences who shower us with their love and affection throughout the years.
‐‐ Mahesh Babu
A hit for me is if I enjoy the movie, if I personally enjoy the movie.
‐‐ Ridley Scott
A hit show takes Hollywood magic indeed, but it also takes a lot of math and science, plus the study of polls and trends to make and sell a TV show.

A hobby a day keeps the doldrums away.

A hole is nothing at all, but you can break your neck in it.

A holiday is when you celebrate something that's all finished up, that happened a long time ago and now there's nothing left to celebrate but the dead.
‐‐ Abraham Polonsky
A holiday vacation can mean sampling all kinds of new cuisine - whether it's Uncle Joe's award-winning chili or the exotic flavors of Nepal. If your little ones are fussy, be sure to ease mealtime hassles by bringing along a supply of the familiar foods they're accustomed to rejecting at home.

A holy day, after all, is a day for considering everything you otherwise think too little about.
‐‐ Pico Iyer
A home is a home, and excess supply leads to prices falling.
‐‐ Nouriel Roubini
A home is crucial, the foundation of a stable family.
‐‐ Eric Cantona
A home is more than just where you live; it reflects who you are.
‐‐ Ty Pennington
A home is still the biggest asset that most Americans own.
‐‐ Mark Zandi
A home-made friend wears longer than one you buy in the market.
‐‐ Austin O'Malley
A home movie of a fictional home life, an epic assembled from vignettes, 'Boyhood' shimmers with unforced reality. It shows how an ordinary life can be reflected in an extraordinary movie.
‐‐ Richard Corliss
A Home Run Derby is fun. It's just like taking batting practice, and you just want to go deep. Guys do it every day. Yes, there's a little more pressure when they pull that cage back, but if you practice properly, it shouldn't affect the second half of your season at all.
‐‐ Frank Thomas
A home should be an intimate autobiography of the things that you like. One of the things I'm so keen on expressing is that, if you don't do it for yourself, if you're always seeking affirmation from outside, you'll never have a home. It'll just be a house.
‐‐ Alexandra Stoddard
A home with a loving and loyal husband and wife is the supreme setting in which children can be reared in love and righteousness and in which the spiritual and physical needs of children can be met.
‐‐ David A. Bednar
A home without books is a body without soul.
‐‐ Marcus Tullius Cicero
A homely face and no figure have aided many women heavenward.
‐‐ Minna Antrim
A hoodie is worn by everybody: kids, white men, white women, black men. But it clings to the black body as a sign of criminality like nothing else.
‐‐ Claudia Rankine
A horrible script 99 percent of the time means a horrible movie. But if you start with a good script, odds are you're going to have a good movie.
‐‐ Ricky Schroder
A horse is a thing of beauty... none will tire of looking at him as long as he displays himself in his splendor.
‐‐ Xenophon
A horse is dangerous at both ends and uncomfortable in the middle.
‐‐ Ian Fleming
A horse is the projection of peoples' dreams about themselves - strong, powerful, beautiful - and it has the capability of giving us escape from our mundane existence.
‐‐ Pam Brown
A horseman's head is in Athens, and his body is in London: Poseidon's torso is separated between Greece and the U.K. This means that they cannot be celebrated and appreciated as a whole in the country they came from.
‐‐ Amal Clooney
A hospital alone shows what war is.
‐‐ Erich Maria Remarque
A hospital is a good place to set various dilemmas.
‐‐ Aminatta Forna
A hospital is no place to be sick.
‐‐ Samuel Goldwyn
A hospital may spend several million dollars separating a pair of conjoined twins even though that separation is likely to leave them worse off.
‐‐ Alice Dreger
A hostility to modernity is shared by ideologies that have nothing else in common - a nostalgia for moral clarity, small-town intimacy, family values, primitive communism, ecological sustainability, communitarian solidarity, or harmonies with the rhythms of nature.
‐‐ Steven Pinker
A hot air balloon requires a great deal of fuel to keep it aloft, so that you can't fly it even for one day. A gas balloon, which usually uses helium, has the problem that the helium cools at night when the sun is not on it, and you have to throw ballast overboard to keep it from going to the surface.
‐‐ Steve Fossett
A hot dog at the game beats roast beef at the Ritz.
‐‐ Humphrey Bogart
A house cannot be made habitable in a day; and, after all, how few days go to make up a century.
