There is no question of the benefits that opening a market of a billion people will bring to American businesses. But as I said last year, this will test China and the world trade system.

Do you have any idea how mad you sound?’‘Indeed I do. I have in moments of doubt considered the question of my sanity.’ (…)‘And?’‘Then I consider what a piece of work is man. How defective...

All stones are close to us. The last is behind us. (Toutes les pierres sont près de nous. – La dernière est derrière nous.)(The Bird and its Sun / L’Oiseau et son Soleil)

Of course I want to take the last shot, let’s be quite frank: I’ve been doing for nine years already, and I’ve made a ton of them.

My dad once said… “Some friends are like “rubber wrappers”; they bind with you safely but get weaker when you stretch them too much”. Treat your friends with care, else the elasticity of their love...

Something interesting has happened over the last 10 years in the Premier League. Players who once would have been discarded as expensive and too old have become important parts of title-winning squads.

The basic rhymes in English are masculine, which is to say that the last syllable of the line is stressed: ‘lane’ rhymes with ‘pain,’ but it also rhymes with ‘urbane’ since the last syllable of...

Play every game as if it is your last one.

If there’s been a crisis in a market, you don’t tend to have a new crisis in that market until the people who went through the last crisis aren’t in the system anymore.

Your mind is a key, and whatever it unlocks, the greatest treasure of all.

It doesn’t matter what you do for 45 minutes, it’s what you do the last three minutes.

Just like in medicine, when the normal medicine no longer works, one resorts to surgery. And the revolutions is like the surgery: It’s painful, and it’s the last resort for nations.

The last time I had a job that wasn’t an acting job was ’88, and I’m quite proud of that.

‘Beyond Glory’ is responsible for this wave that I’ve been fortunate enough to ride for the last few years. And that I did primarily because I didn’t know what else to do. You might say...

In the first 50 years of the filibuster, it was used only 35 times. But the last Congress alone had 112 cloture motions filed, plus threats of more. This is the tyranny of the minority.

There’s not an appropriations bill in the last 10 years that the-that Democrats passed in the Congress. We haven’t spent any money of your taxes in the last decade.

The home stands in contrast to all other capitalist institutions as the last stronghold of pre-capitalist isolation.

The thing about politics is to plan 10 years ahead, and assume every year is your last.

I never lose that terror of ‘this is my last job, I’ll never work again.’ You can never relax and rely on whatever reputation you’ve built.

As a European I had fit in almost seamlessly in New York for the last 25 years, but in Oklahoma I stood out like a sore thumb.

I think that people assumed I was white because of my last name. My father is Caucasian, my mother is Hispanic. But English was my second language, believe it or not.

I’m on so late I’m definitely the last seconds of anyone’s attention. So I just want to give them something dumb to laugh at, so they go, ‘That’s funny,’ then fall asleep.

Some months ago, while I was preparing a new work, I told a young cinema executive my intention of including in a soundtrack two themes from Bach. But when he asked me which has been...

The last shall not become the first if the last is lagging behind.

I happen to love working in cinema, but the theater is always there… you know, and I would never shut the door on it. Even though it’s been quite a bit of time since I’ve...

I can’t remember what the last film I saw was, as I can’t smoke or drink in cinemas.

People think memorizing lines is hard, when that’s the last thing you worry about. You get that done, and then you’ve got to worry about the internal stuff, which is the challenging part.

Many are called, few are chosen.

Oh, Michael Jackson is Michael Jackson. And no matter if he sold 40 million records off of one record and sold 15 off his last or whatever the counts may be, Michael Jackson will be...

I tap my pen against the Edith Piaf record, thinking of how to express my future sentiments when my journey comes to an end. Either in the arms of the girl I love, or buried...

If you can last until you’re 40 years old, hopefully you’ll be mature enough to figure out the rest of the years.

God, he deals you blows that at sometimes you think you can’t handle and in the last year there have been things that we thought we couldn’t handle but we’ve dealt with it up until...

Ratings don’t last. Good journalism does.

Other than that one year, Salon has been very cautious about the way it spends money. For instance, since last year, we’ve had virtually no marketing budget. It’s just word of mouth. And our circulation...

Enjoy the day as if it were your last.

I really hate those books where the murderer turns out to be somebody you never heard of who pops up in the last chapter.

It’s always great when a defense is able to create turnovers and score. That’s something we missed last year. We’d get some turnovers, but we never scored points.

I mean, I spent 30 years in the world of physical perfection, right? I’ve known most of the world’s most perfect physical specimens over the course of the last 30 years.

Woody Allen likes to do a lot of master shots. He likes to get the whole thing in one take, and so you could be going along doing a scene, and then the next to...

I think that over the last few decades, we have seen better economic outcomes than in the past.

It’s a tricky place, especially the last sector. I wasn’t happy in practice. I wasn’t happy with the car and I wasn’t happy with myself. But I always thought there was more in the car.

In fact, it seems to me that making strategic alliances across national borders in order to treat HIV among the world’s poor is one of the last great hopes of solidarity across a widening divide.

Rosecrans is a family name – it used to be a last name in our family.

You know it’s always amazed me – I think the most startling thing that’s happened in the last couple of decades is that there is no sort of objective reporting anymore.

I always pray to God that every day when I wake up I’ll treat it as if it is the last so that I will spend the rest of my life proving to you how...

For the last several years and culminating in six months in orbit next year, I’ve been training for my third space flight. This one is almost in a category completely different than the previous two,...

But great loves, to the last, have pulses red; All great loves that have ever died dropped dead.

The last four or five hundred years of European contact with Africa produced a body of literature that presented Africa in a very bad light and Africans in very lurid terms. The reason for this...

I don’t know if we’d have been as dominant as we were last season. The new things, the new ideas the manager brought in everyone took them on board so well. He is special.

When’s the last time you really thought about what you eat, how much you move throughout the day, whether or not you feel fantastic when you get up in the morning, and which shoes keep...
