Tonight we celebrate the value of sport as a means of bringing together people of 71 nations and territories, and from a wide range of cultures, traditions and beliefs. It gives me the greatest pleasure to declare the 18th Commonwealth Games open.
`Queen` Elizabeth
The writer I feel the most affinity with - you said you felt my books are 19th century novels, I think they`re 18th century novels - is Fielding, Henry Fielding, he`s the guy who does it for me.
Jonathan Coe
The Islam of the 18th, 19th and first half of the 20th century was a poor thing. Nobody bothered about it. Islam was that funny sort of pure system of beliefs that depressed people in the Middle East held as their religion.
John Keegan
Morally, the world is both better and worse than it was. We are worse off than in the middle ages, or the 17th and 18th centuries, in that we have the atomic menace.
Pierre Schaeffer
Lives in previous centuries for women are largely a matter of class. It would have been fun to have been a rich, privileged woman in the 18th century, but no fun at all to be her maid.
Antonia Fraser
In the forty years of the people`s republic, some of the worst historical traits were preserved in our people. These included even the common characteristics developed in the economic reality of the time of partitions in the 17th and 18th centuries.
Andrzej Wajda
In November, the 18th day, I was again the second time married, and had five hundred pounds portion with that wife; she was of the nature of Mars.
Andrew Poulson
I would still love to do more Handel. I think Handel was a fantastic composer. I did lots of Vivaldi, but it`s also important to do the music of Handel, one of the greatest composers of the 18th century.
Cecilia Bartoli
I think the day will come when, for example, you will be able to watch Phil Mickelson from the first tee to the 18th green, ... If you want to watch Andre Agassi at the U.S. Open, you can do it.
David Hill
I have worked closely with many of our county commissioners, mayors, local transportation officials, and others to determine project needs in the 18th District, and they deserve a great deal of thanks for today`s victory on the House floor.
Al Zappala
I chose to wait to get my drivers license. Since I was working and I didn`t have time, I got it like a week before my 18th birthday.
Michelle Trachtenberg
Although the height of their fame was in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. They are still one of Britain`s best known clock makers.
Michael Turner
Also, an area that interests me - and it will probably take years to state what I mean - is the period of the rise of democracy, with Tom Paine, which is around the turn of the 18th century into the 19th.
Fiona Shaw
After two years of hard work and debate, Congress has passed a highway bill that will help fuel our economy by creating roughly 500,000 new jobs, as well as address many critical transportation needs in Ohio and the 18th Congressional District.
Al Zappala
There`s no point having an 18th birthday in America.
