A Quote by Winston Churchill

The oldest habit in the world for resisting change is to complain that unless the remedy to the disease should be universally applied it should not be applied at all. But you must start somewhere.

When the patient loves his disease, how unwilling he is to allow a remedy to be applied.

Pierre Corneille

The main point in our report was to recommend decriminalization...because of the way laws are applied, which have not worked. We have applied them for decades and it's got the prisons filled with lots of young people who sometimes come out destroyed for having half an ounce... We should approach it through education and health issues rather than a brutal reaction... There is need for change in policy, but it has to start with debate and discussion... I think the whole approach has to be reviewed.

Kofi Annan

Let's just start with the word 'diva.' It is obviously a sexist slight - a term that is only applied to women, almost always in a derogatory way. It's usually applied to women who are viewed as overly ambitious. It is applied to demanding women, to women who follow their own path.

Campbell Brown

Paint should not be applied thick. It should be like a breath on the surface of a pane of glass.

James Whistler

Nobody should be allowed to fund political parties unless they pay at least 30% tax on all income above the median wage. If that rule applied, the Tory party would be bankrupted overnight.

Guy Standing

As an organizer I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. That we accept the world as it is does not in any sense weaken our desire to change it into what we believe it should be - it is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be.

Saul Alinsky

Imagination applied to the whole world is vapid in comparison to imagination applied to a detail.

Wallace Stevens

As an organizer, I start from where the world is, as it is, not as I would like it to be. That we accept the world as it is does not in any sense weaken our desire to change it into what we believe it should be - it is necessary to begin where the world is if we are going to change it to what we think it should be. That means working in the system.

Saul Alinsky

I started off in radio, then made little films for Granada. I applied for a job at 'Weekend World,' and they turned me down; I'd also applied to the Foreign Office, which accepted me.

Jonathan Powell

The democratic process on which this nation was founded should not be restricted to the political process, but should be applied to the industrial operation as well.

Albert Gallatin

A friend of ours said if the same laws were applied to U.S. Presidents as were applied to the Nazis after WWII, that every single one of them, every last rich white one of them, from Truman on would be hung to death and shot. And this current administration is no exception. They should be hung and tried and shot as war criminals.

Zack de la Rocha

The same thing I applied to football, I applied to trying to be an actor and hopefully it came off well.

Jerry Rice

I want the same standard applied to homosexuals as is applied to heterosexuals.

Rosie O'Donnell

But the present life should never be hated, except insofar as it subjects us to sin, although even that hatred should not properly be applied to life itself.

John Calvin

The logic of Palladian architecture presented an aesthetic formula which could be applied universally.

Stephen Gardiner

But no matter what the outcome, how the friends turn out in the end, it should not stop you from making new friends. Once bitten, twice shy should not be applied to friendship.
