When men talk about defense, they always claim to be protecting women and children, but they never ask the women and children what they think
Pat Schroeder
I claim to be a simple individual liable to err like any other fellow mortal. I own, however, that I have humility enough to confess my errors and to retrace my steps.
Mahatma Gandhi
Liberals seem to assume that, if you don`t believe in their particular political solutions, then you don`t really care about the people that they claim to want to help
Thomas Sowell
Creationist critics often charge that evolution cannot be tested, and therefore cannot be viewed as a properly scientific subject at all. This claim is rhetorical nonsense.
Stephen Jay Gould
It is not so much for its beauty that the forest makes a claim upon men`s hearts, as for that subtle something, that quality of air that emanation from old trees, that so wonderfully changes and renews a weary spirit.
Robert Louis Stevenson
Telling us to obey instinct is like telling us to obey "people." People say different things: so do instincts. Our instincts are at war.... Each instinct, if you listen to it, will claim to be gratified at the expense of the rest....
C.S. Lewis
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say that there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank Zappa
During an interview with Roger Ebert regarding his film Munich (2005) and the response from Jewish critics that claim it depicts Israeli and Palestinian causes as morally equivalent: Frankly, I think that`s a stupid charge. The people who attack the movie...
Steven Spielberg
I find my blood pressure rising when Clinton`s cultural shock troops participate in homosexual rights fund raisers but boycott gun rights fund raisers - and then claim it`s time to place homosexual men in tents with boy scouts and suggest that sperm-donor...
Charlton Heston
(1997) My husband has quite simply been my strength and stay all these years, and I owe him a debt greater than he would ever claim.
Queen Elizabeth II
[on his mock "crusade" against the Associated Press regarding his claim that coined the word "truthiness"] It`s a sin of omission, is what it is. You`re not giving people the whole story about truthiness. It`s like Shakespeare still being alive and not as...
Stephen Colbert
I know writers who claim not to read their notices, or not to be hurt by the bad ones if they do, and I actually believe two of these individuals. I`m one of the other kind - I obsess over the possibility of bad reviews and brood over them when they come....
Stephen King
Some scientists claim that hydrogen, because it is so plentiful, is the basic building block of the universe. I dispute that. I say that there is more stupidity than hydrogen, and that is the basic building block of the universe.
Frank Zappa
I always believed that women have rights and that there are some women that are intelligent enough to claim those rights. There are some others that are stupid enough not to. It is as cut-and dried as that. It doesn`t matter if you are a woman or not; in ...
Shakira
There has always been violence on the screen, and certain groups claim that some antisocial behavior can be traced to these violent films. I believe that`s hogwash. The violence on television news programs is much more harmful because it`s real. We all ha...
Chuck Norris
Some people claim Kermit is my alter-ego. I`m not sure I know what that means. I like to work Kermit because there`s a lot of leeway for ad-libbing, which I don`t have with most other characters but I`m not sure that I`m not Kermit.
Jim Henson
For the record, I am actually British as well as Australian. People always think I`m Australian but I`m happy for the Brits to claim me back. I`m offering myself up.
Naomi Watts
Neither of us is ready. I don`t feel that we need to have children to validate our marriage and I don`t need children to claim I`m a fulfilled woman.
Dita Von Teese
You have to sort of see the way that the character behaves, and what the character says and does, and claim it in the same way that you claim anything, really.
Richard Roxburgh

Richard Roxburgh
Words without deeds is an affront to the principle that guides our Nation and makes a mockery of the values we as public servants claim to love.
Allan Mayer
will now allow Reno to claim she is doing a vigorous investigation of campaign financing, when in reality Judicial Watch`s public depositions show she is not. Not even John Huang`s secretary has been questioned by Justice investigators; nor has any other ...
Ashanti Proverb
Why don`t the names of Buddha, Mohammed, Confucius offend people? The reason is that these others didn`t claim to be God, but Jesus did.
Allan Zaremberg
While Taliban fighters had an initial claim to protection under the conventions, they lost POW status by failing to obey the standards of conduct for legal combatants: wearing uniforms, a responsible command structure, and obeying the laws of war.
Allan Kline
Which implies that the real issue in art is the audience`s response. Now I claim that when I make things, I don`t care about the audience`s response, I`m making them for myself. But I`m making them for myself as audience, because I want to wake myself up.
Richard Foreman
What would happen if we accept God`s gift of tithing when we accept God`s gift of money? If we give off the top, we claim our place as `givers` before we admit that we are `consumers.` That puts our priorities in order and establishes a framework of grati...
