My coming to faith did not start with a leap but rather a series of staggers from what seemed like one safe place to another. Like lily pads, round and green, these places summoned and then held me up while I grew. Each prepared me for the next leaf on which I would land, and in this way I moved across the swamp of doubt and fear.

My command, less than ten thousand, had found the battle on the Plank road in retreat, little less than a panic. In a few hours we changed defeat to victory, the broken divisions of the Third Corps rallying in their rear.
‐‐ James Longstreet
My commitment is my commitment.
‐‐ Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero
My commitment is to continue making a Mexico where families live in an environment of peace and better security.
‐‐ Enrique Pena Nieto
My commitment is to Los Angeles, so whatever helps this continue to be a great city, that's what I would be focused to do, and the Dodgers are certainly iconic to Los Angeles.
‐‐ Patrick Soon-Shiong
My commitment is to my kids and my mum and I'm having a whale of a time.
‐‐ Carol Vorderman

My commitment to gender equality is rooted in the quintessentially American principle of equal justice under law.
‐‐ Eric Schneiderman
My commitment to refugees comes from a very personal place.
‐‐ Alek Wek
My commitment to the forgotten families of Australia is to ease your cost of living pressure.
‐‐ Tony Abbott
My commitment to the Republican movement was pure and simply patriotism, a love of Australia... a desire or passion that all of our national symbols should be unequivocally and unambiguously Australian.
‐‐ Malcolm Turnbull
My commitment to the security and future of Israel is based upon basic morality as well as enlightened self-interest. Our role in supporting Israel honors our own heritage.
‐‐ Gerald R. Ford
My company, Against All Odds Productions, has done print on demand; we were the first to do a book with a CD-ROM in the early 1990s. We do custom covers. It's always fun to do something new.
‐‐ Rick Smolan
My company and people think I'm wacky when I have an idea... I know if I have an idea, no one will want to go through it. But if I persist, people will go through it.
‐‐ Francis Ford Coppola
My company created a platform called Modlife, this prepackaged website that runs an artist's website.
‐‐ Tom DeLonge
My company in the U.S., Pratt Industries U.S.A., has grown from scratch to become a billion-dollar business based on recycling, as well as the largest Australian-owned employer of U.S. citizens.
‐‐ Anthony Pratt
My company Independent Ideas worked with Gucci on a special edition Fiat 500.
‐‐ Lapo Elkann
My company invents all kinds of new technology in lots of different areas. And we do that for a couple of reasons. We invent for fun - invention is a lot of fun to do - and we also invent for profit. The two are related because the profit actually takes long enough that if it isn't fun, you wouldn't have the time to do it.
‐‐ Nathan Myhrvold
My company is an extension of me, so when I designed my stores I wanted people to feel that they were in my home.
‐‐ Tory Burch
My company is in the business of content, delivering content, so whether you see it or taste it or hear it or smell it, that's what I do every day.
‐‐ Ryan Seacrest
My company is known for being funny as well as moving. You get a bit of everything in these shows. I think people know they're going to have a surprising experience.
‐‐ Matthew Bourne
My company survives because I've learned to respect the ideas of people younger than me and recognize when my wisdom is obsolete.
‐‐ Robert Kiyosaki
My competition keeps me driven. My family and son and being home in Chicago keeps me humble, and my fans. They're the reason why I'm going hard and making sure everyone knows how to say my name.
‐‐ Jeremih
My complaint, as an exile who once loved New York and who likes to return a half-dozen times a year, is not that it plays host to extremes of the human condition: There is grandeur in that, and necessity.
‐‐ John Updike
My complaint is that there are more books and news articles than there are primary scientific papers. I am probably the biggest critic of the hypesters, because it's dangerous when fields get overhyped.
‐‐ Craig Venter
My composition often goes toward the black middle class or the black super-wealthy or strong historical black figures.
‐‐ Rashid Johnson
My compositions are, I would say, like pages ripped from a diary that I don't really want to share, but that I almost feel the need to share. It's a way for me to get things out that I can't get out in life, you know, in real regular conversation with people.
‐‐ Cecile McLorin Salvant
My compulsion is to create things.
‐‐ Julian Schnabel
My compulsion to always be working has become less strong and my current business is purely down to this enormous alimony. If I wasn't doing this I'd be making documentaries about wildlife and other subjects that interest me.
‐‐ John Cleese
My computer background is a black and white picture I took of the Niteroi Contemporary Art Museum in Brazil.
‐‐ Emma Ishta
My comrades would call me a 'black capitalist.'
‐‐ Patrice Motsepe
My concentration level blocks out everything. Concentration is why some athletes are better than others. You develop that concentration in training and concentrate in a meet.
‐‐ Edwin Moses
My concentration span is truly that of a gnat. Some people have this ladder, and that's all there is - the ladder. I have the ladder, too, but there's a building around it with scaffolding, and lots of windows for me to peek into. Then suddenly I'll remember, 'Oh, there's the ladder. I should be concentrating on that.'
‐‐ Natascha McElhone
My concentration was really on getting to university and becoming a doctor. My parents let me know that school marks were important. Achievement was something which came by hard work.
‐‐ Roger Bannister
My concept of a 'Doctor Who' girl was that you screamed a lot and ran around quarries in unsuitable footwear. Of course you fell over and twisted your ankle, because you had high heels on.
‐‐ Sophie Aldred
My concept of an advice giver had been a therapist or a know-it-all, and then I realized nobody listens to the know-it-alls. You turn to the people you know, the friend who has been in the thick of it or messed up - and I'm that person for sure.
‐‐ Cheryl Strayed
My concept of government's role in people's lives is that it is limited but legitimate, and essential when people have nowhere else to turn.
‐‐ Olympia Snowe
My conception of it was that in a normal film you have a story with different movements that program, develop, go a little bit off the trunk, come back, and end.
‐‐ Neil Jordan
My conception of my ideal reader has expanded quite a lot as I've matured: Ultimately when I think of my ideal reader, it's someone who's not sitting down with the intention of automatically arguing with the book: somebody who's going to give me enough slack to tell my story.
‐‐ Paolo Bacigalupi
My concepts are never bright ideas; they're never notions I think will sell or be trendy or attract new fans. I don't think that way. All I can do is sing from my life.
‐‐ Janet Jackson
My concern about Barack Obama is he ran a campaign in 2008 where he said we're going to bring people together and solve big problems. And he specifically talked about the need to reach across the aisle and deal with issues like the economy, which was obviously the top issue in 2008. It has not happened.
‐‐ Rob Portman
My concern as a citizen and as a money manager is, Oh my God, at what point does a 'whoa' moment happen to these people who own $30 trillion fixed income instruments?
‐‐ Paul Singer
My concern for education in New Mexico has always been there. I'm one of those kids that struggled through school, and I feel like I fell through the cracks.
‐‐ Steven Michael Quezada
My concern has always been that people who I portray, or the professions that I portray, are not embarrassed by my portrayal of them.
‐‐ George Dzundza
My concern has always been with creating images that catch people's eyes, penetrate their minds, warm their hearts and cause them to act.
‐‐ George Lois
My concern is how we learn to be genuine human beings.
‐‐ Lloyd Alexander
My concern is not for the judicial system, but for the reality that the shark fin mafia of Costa Rica has a price on my head, and a Costa Rican prison would provide an excellent opportunity for someone to exercise this lethal contract against me.
‐‐ Paul Watson
My concern is that we live in an economy in which stabbing someone and waiting for them to complain before we remove the knife has become the normal way of doing business. When did we lose sight of the fact that it's not nice to stab people in the first place?
