‐‐ Frank Carlucci
Of course China is an important new market for Tod's, and of course we need to succeed commercially. But I believe the way to do that is not to aim to deliver results in the short term by thoughtless expansion, but instead to explain to the Chinese people what our brand is really about.

Of course democracy is good, but it is a process, not a prescription.

‐‐ Tommy Lee
Of course, Dwight D. Eisenhower gets credit for doing more for golf than any other White House resident, a mid- to high-handicapper though he was.
‐‐ Dan Jenkins
Of course, eating broccoli raw, nutritionally and aesthetically speaking, is no doubt the best way of all. Raw broccoli makes a delectable salad when sliced into thin strips on a mandolin, marinated in lemon-mustard vinaigrette, then tossed with toasted pecans or hazelnuts, halved cherry tomatoes, and fresh minced basil.
‐‐ Kate Christensen
Of course, economic forecasts must be revised when new information arrives and are thus necessarily provisional.

‐‐ John Polkinghorne
Of course, every artist has 'minor works' that they do, but I don't think I have any 'minor disciplines.' Each discipline I approach as a major undertaking that I put my whole self into.
‐‐ Patti Smith
Of course, every job I ever had I thought I was born for.
‐‐ Jack Kemp
Of course every player wants to go from good to better, but one should not be obsessed with it.
‐‐ Lin Dan
Of course, every time someone does a story on plastic surgery, my name will be dragged up. I've made it safe for other people to have plastic surgery. It's no longer a bad word.
‐‐ Greta Van Susteren
Of course, everybody makes mistakes, and we've all been young and stupid. But people need to have a sense of respect, particularly in this business, because hundreds of people are ready to take your place at any time. Maybe some people should think about that.
‐‐ Sophia Bush
Of course everybody's thinking evolves over time.
‐‐ Meles Zenawi
Of course everybody's thinking evolves over time. Only dead people cease learning, and I am not certified dead yet. So I am still learning.
‐‐ Meles Zenawi
Of course, everyone in the New World is an immigrant or a descendant of immigrants, and immigrants have built America and continue to do so. Legal or illegal, they are almost universally good people who work to better their lot and that of their children.
‐‐ Mark Helprin

‐‐ Gina Carano
Of course for many years directors have had to go on the road with their movies and promote them and I've done that since the beginning. So that's not new but the forms of it are different such as with the internet.
‐‐ David Cronenberg
Of course, for me, having served 22 years in the military and to have the opportunity to continue to serve my country is a great honor and is a privilege. So that's what makes it special each and every day.

Of course, giving is deeply emotional. But supplementing emotion with research makes it more likely that a gift can have a bigger impact. It's like any investment.

‐‐ Laura Arrillaga-Andreessen

Of course 'Hamlet' is a debate about the nature and morality of revenge and whether it is right to do something to assuage your angry feelings.
‐‐ Samuel West
Of course having a baby derails the writing process for some time. And I will be the first to say that I have essentially no social life, because there's just nothing left after being a mom, professor, and writer. I used to be big into rock climbing. No more. A lot falls by the wayside.
‐‐ Marie Rutkoski

‐‐ Pola Negri
Of course I adored and wanted to be Catwoman. That goes without saying.
‐‐ Bruce Vilanch
