You can have the best technology, but you if have a corrupted, radicalized, bribed official that has access to the plane to put the bomb in the cargo, as what happened in Sharm el-Sheikh, that's a real problem.
‐‐ Mike McCaul

You can have the greatest characters in the world and write beautifully, but if nothing's happening, the story falls on its face pretty quickly.
‐‐ Jennifer McMahon
You can have the greatest player in terms of mastering an instrument and you could be yawning your head off when you hear them. So, it's not what you do, but the way you're doing it and in the end that's all that we have.
‐‐ Mahavishnu John McLaughlin

‐‐ A. J. McLean
You can have your own language. You can have your own dialect; you can have your own way of saying things, but if you don't actually understand the way the language fits together, it's chaos.
‐‐ Nick Earls
You can have your own watch and always doubt it. If I had a watch I'd probably always be doubting it or the batteries would be dying. I just know that people always have trouble with their watches, and that's why I like public clocks.

‐‐ Helen Gurley Brown
You can heal your body with food.
‐‐ Stacy Keibler
You can hear some artists, hear five of their albums and still have no idea who they are. But if you've heard most of what I've recorded, you know me. You go from 'Honesty' to 'Going Through Hell' - you can listen to the hits, and they pretty much reflect who I am. 'Take a Back Road' is the same thing.
‐‐ Rodney Atkins

You can hype a questionable product for a little while, but you'll never build an enduring business.
‐‐ Victor Kiam
You can, I think, have a quiet and steady protagonist and not run the risk of terminal dullness as long as exciting things happen to them and around them, and crime is the ideal genre for making this come about.
‐‐ Liz Williams
You can, if you wish, think of it like the universe: Each case is a sun, and all the judges, lawyers and administrative personnel represent planets revolving around the case in fixed orbit, never getting closer.
‐‐ Sol Wachtler
You can imagine: 99 percent of your experiments fail for one reason or another.
‐‐ Craig Venter
You can imagine a soul as being a detailed, elaborate pattern that exists very clearly in one brain. When a person dies, the original is no longer around. But there are other versions of it in other people's brains. It's a less detailed copy, it's coarse-grained.
‐‐ Douglas Hofstadter
You can imagine how hard it is, but there's always a force that pushes me forward to do all I can!

‐‐ Richard Pound
You can invest in companies, you can help grow companies, you can be a venture capitalist - and be a philanthropist at the same time.
‐‐ Pierre Omidyar

‐‐ Gary Coleman
You can jail a Revolutionary, but you can't jail the Revolution.
‐‐ Huey Newton

‐‐ Lennox Lewis
You can just go to a magic shop or magic builder and buy what most magicians do, but that's not what I'm about.

It's very challenging, and you never know how long it's going to take - months or years.
‐‐ Criss Angel
You can just never desist. You have to always push back, whatever the pressures put on you.
‐‐ Michael Arad
