Mile by mile, it's a trial; yard by yard, it's hard; but inch by inch, it's a cinch.

Gabrielle Giffords

I haven't rebelled yet. I don't know, I think maybe just moving up here (to L.A.) by myself counts. But I never really felt the urge. I was always given so much freedom as a kid. My mom's motto was, 'My trust is yours to lose, so I'll give you every trust in the world. But the second I give you an inch and you take a mile, I'm going to pull it back.'

Cassidy Erin Gifford

Vince Staples

By the mile it's a trial, but by the inch it's a cinch.

Zig Ziglar

I shall die here. Every last inch of me shall perish. Except one. An inch. It's small and it's fragile and it's the only thing in the world worth having. we must never lose it, or sell it, or give it away. We must never let them take it from us.

Alan Moore

Alice Cooper

I will compensate all your one-inch, two-inch losses because I know how important every inch is to you aged, decrepit men.

Kim Harrison

Auguries of innocence "The emmet's inch and eagle's mile Make lame philosophy to smile. He who doubts from what he sees Will ne'er believe, do what you please.

William Blake

Liberals believe government should take people's earnings to give to poor people. Conservatives disagree. They think government should confiscate people's earnings and give them to farmers and insolvent banks. The compelling issue to both conservatives and liberals is not whether it is legitimate for government to confiscate one's property to give to another, the debate is over the disposition of the pillage.

Walter E. Williams

Take the word for it of a man who has made his way inch by inch, and does not believe that we'll wake up to find our work done because we've lain all night a-dreaming of it; anything worth doing is devilish hard to do!

Henry James

The government cannot give to anybody anything that the government does not first take from somebody else.

Adrian Rogers

If government can give you rights, government can take them away from you.

Roy Moore

There is a growing sentiment in America that regular saving should be ignored-that the government will take care of people and give them security when they get beyond a certain age or become old and unable to work, but it must be borne in mind that the people who earn and do save, take care of the government! Were it not for the thrifty and the willing workers, the government would be in a bad way.

George Matthew Adams
