~By Felix Adler ~
What you compose with is neither here nor there, you compose with words, or you compose with stone plants and trees, or you compose with events; the Sheriff's officer, or whatever.
~By Ian Hamilton Finlay ~
Instead of being concerned that you have no office, be concerned to think how you may fit yourself for office. Instead of being concerned that you are not known, see to the (be?) worthy of being known.
~By Confucius ~
I think Gore does have to worry. He is tied to Bill Clinton. We know that there were telephone calls that he made from his office. We know that there were visits to the Buddhist temple.
~By Barbara Olson ~
The mugger who is arrested is back on the street before the police officer, but the person mugged may not be back on the street for a long time, if ever.
~By Mario Cuomo ~
Of course, Hollywood is still making some excellent pictures which reflect the great artistry that made Hollywood famous throughout the world, but these films are exceptions, judging from box office returns and press reviews.
~By Pola Negri ~

~By Joshua A. Norton ~
This is going to become a battle for access to your home and office plus mobility. It's about who can provide the biggest and least expensive and fastest pipe to your home and office and offer you a mobility feature.
~By Steve Largent ~
I wanted a theory that would allow one to live outside the office with the same philosophy one uses inside it.
~By Kenneth L. Pike ~
As they say around the Texas Legislature, if you can't drink their whiskey, screw their women, take their money, and vote against 'em anyway, you don't belong in office.
~By Molly Ivins ~
That is, we believed, the supreme duty of the parent, who only was permitted to claim in some degree the priestly office and function, since it is his creative and protecting power which alone approaches the solemn function of Deity.

I am resigning because my secret leaves the governor's office vulnerable.
~By James McGreevey ~

~By Horatio Nelson ~
Books on horse racing subjects have never done well, and I am told that publishers had come to think of them as the literary version of box office poison.
~By Laura Hillenbrand ~
Reason is, and ought only to be the slave of the passions, and can never pretend to any other office than to serve and obey them.
~By David Hume ~
It was also during my tenure of office that the Japanese Government agreed to the conclusion of a Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty and signed it, pursuing a policy in harmony with the avowed desire of the people.
~By Eisaku Sato ~
A tremendous number of people in America work very hard at something that bores them. Even a rich man thinks he has to go down to the office everyday. Not because he likes it but because he can't think of anything else to do.
~By W. H. Auden ~
Well, I would definitely give up performing... But I would still sit down in an office and pretend to write with Dawn, even if we never produced anything, because it's just hilarious. I would miss that.
~By Jennifer Saunders ~
The studio didn't ask them to learn their trade, they just worked them, and when that personality or that gimmick or whatever they had ran dry at the box office, they were dropped and out.
~By Jackie Cooper ~
Whenever a man has cast a longing eye on offices, a rottenness begins in his conduct.
~By Thomas Jefferson ~
Office hours are from 12 to 1 with an hour off for lunch.
~By George S. Kaufman ~
It seems only reasonable that the people have a right to know virtually everything about the personality they are buying each time they put their money through the box office.
~By Alan Ladd ~
The steel workers have now buried their dead, while the widows weep and watch their orphaned children become objects of public charity. The murder of these unarmed men has never been publicly rebuked by any authoritative officer of the state or federal government.
~By John L. Lewis ~
My assignment was in the communications office, where I typed out dispatches.
~By Jack Adams ~
He told me he was working as an interpreter in a doctor's office in Brookline, Massachusetts, where I was living at the time, and he was translating for a doctor who had a number of Russian patients. On my way home, after running into him, I just heard this phrase in my head.
~By Jhumpa Lahiri ~
Money is power, and in that government which pays all the public officers of the states will all political power be substantially concentrated.
~By Andrew Jackson ~
I think it is very important that I should have a talk with you as soon as possible on a highly secret matter. I mentioned it to you shortly after you took office but have not urged it since on account of the pressure you have been under.
~By Henry L. Stimson ~
You don't run for public office unless you have a specific vision. You are driven by ideas and a vision.
~By Julie Nixon Eisenhower ~
Jackson went from the professor's chair to the officer's saddle. He carried with him the very elements of character which made him odious as a teacher; but I never saw him in an arbitrary mood.
~By Daniel H. Hill ~
We need spies that look like their targets, CIA officers who speak the dialects terrorists use, and FBI agents who can speak to Muslim women who might be intimidated by men.

I feel I'm as qualified for office as any of the other comedians who are running.
~By Grace Hansen ~
Putin can't afford to leave the office because he will be in real danger of being prosecuted for things he and his people did during their stay in power.

It is easier to appear worthy of a position one does not hold, than of the office which one fills.
~By Francois de La Rochefoucauld ~
My first concern was to take care of my drawing. I did not have any knowledge in arts, especially Haitian arts, apart from the paintings I saw in my father's office.
~By Ralph Allen ~
I guess in the independent market, I'd be getting offers, but in terms of big studio films, I still have to audition. I don't think my name is that well-known, I don't have much of a following to guarantee box office success yet.
~By Michael Fassbender ~
One out of forty American men wears women's clothing. We've had more than forty presidents. One of these guys has been dancing around the Oval Office in a prom dress.
~By Allison Janney ~
In the fall of the year 2000, there just happened to be a decision point when they asked me to become Chief Executive Officer of the company. It was a time when, as you remember, we were starting to have some real problems in the California energy markets.
~By Jeffrey Skilling ~
Our artillery has really been sensational. For once we have enough of something and at the right time. Officers tell me they actually have more guns than they know what to do with.
~By Ernie Pyle ~
If you believe that God put you here to act, then you have to be different. Go into casting offices, with something other girls don't have.
~By Amber Tamblyn ~
I am a goal setter and I set more goals everyday. I keep lists of goals in my office to stay on track.
~By Kiana Tom ~
That space between the white lines, that's my office. That's where I conduct my business.
~By Early Wynn ~
I always enjoyed politics. I worked at the White House recently, primarily for the First Lady. Because of my experience running my travel agency, I was in charge of the files she kept on the Travel Office.
~By Joseph Force Crater ~
I did not destroy the 43 volumes of my diary, which report on all these events and the share I had in them; but of my own accord I handed them voluntarily to the officers of the American Army who arrested me.
~By Hans Frank ~
It is not easy to get rich in Las Vegas, at Churchill Downs, or at the local Merrill Lynch office.
~By Paul Samuelson ~
I went to work in an office and learned, among other lessons, to do things I did not care for, and to do them well. Before I left this office, two of my books had already been published.
~By Sigrid Undset ~
I talked to General Downer about some of the funding about the National Guard and some of the civil defense workers, the firefighters, the police officers, and the way that FEMA is making them spend that money. We have got a problem there.
~By Lynn Westmoreland ~
I handed my passport to the immigration officer, and he looked at it and looked at me and said, "What are you?"
~By Grace Hopper ~
I've always liked getting away with just a little bit of what you're not supposed to. Like my first book, Billy's Booger, got me in trouble with the principal's office.
~By William Joyce ~
Nixon is one of the few in the history of this country to run for high office talking out of both sides of his mouth at the same time and lying out of both sides.
~By Harry S. Truman ~
If our most highly qualified General Staff officers had been told to work out the most nonsensical high level organization for war which they could think of, they could not have produced anything more stupid that that which we have at present.
~By Claus von Stauffenberg ~
I thought administration was the running of the office. The Xerox machine. Paying bills.
~By Lesley Stahl ~
For as we have many members in one body, and all members have not the same office: so we, being many, are one body in Christ, and every one members one of another.
~By Joseph Butler ~
When I give a man an office, I watch him carefully to see whether he is swelling or growing.
~By Woodrow Wilson ~
The office has oversight of people who do analysis and oversight of people who do operations, but it is not charged with doing either. That is an important point to make. Those functions are performed by the CIA, DIA and other agencies.
~By Stephen Cambone ~
I've been bragging for over 25 years that my first New York Times bestseller was a book I copied from the U.S. Government Printing Office!
~By Matthew Lesko ~
The challenge is to lend conviction even to the voices which advocate views I find personally abhorrent, whether they are political Islamists or officers justifying a coup.
~By Orhan Pamuk ~
I believe in the battle-whether it's the battle of a campaign or the battle of this office, which is a continuing battle.
~By Richard M. Nixon ~
My mother is an office manager, my father a professor of economics and financial planner.
~By Poppy Z. Brite ~
The reason that minorities and women don't have a better shot at getting elected to the Senate or to statewide office is because the campaign finance rules are so skewed as to make it very difficult for non-traditional candidates to raise the money necessary to get elected.
~By Carol Moseley Braun ~
Warren Spector is amazing, and his team is as good as any in the business. Shame to see all the revenues from their game entangled with all the madness of the Dallas office.
~By Mike Wilson ~
The two offices of memory are collection and distribution.
~By Samuel Johnson ~
A bureaucrat is a Democrat who holds some office that a Republican wants.
~By Harry S. Truman ~
So we have a group within the office that is devoted to support for the war fighter. That's, of necessity, an operational and tactical level of concern.
~By Stephen Cambone ~
We love the ability of the people to influence the actions of decision-makers, of lawmakers and presidents to be removed from or elevated to office by the will of voters, and of the community to connect amongst diverse populations through the ballot box.
~By Charles Rangel ~
You can hardly judge women's effect on politics merely from the action of individual women officeholders.
~By Florence E. Allen ~
You come to work because the office is a resource: The office is a place where you can meet with other people, and the office has libraries of books and information on CD-ROM that might help you with your work.
~By Jay Chiat ~
I said when I came into office that I don't want to be a great leader; I want to be a good democrat.
~By Jose Luis Rodriguez Zapatero ~
In our brief national history we have shot four of our presidents, worried five of them to death, impeached one and hounded another out of office. And when all else fails, we hold an election and assassinate their character.
~By P. J. O'Rourke ~
We can put our head in the sand and continue to lose jobs overseas and to other states, or we can say, 'You know what? We are not going to lose another job from California, and we're going to be the very best place to start and grow a business.' So I'll be the chief sales officer for California businesses.
~By Meg Whitman ~
Just because there are celebrities in a movie, it doesn't mean anything. I don't think The Ant Bully did all that well the first week at the box office. Compare the movies that have a lot of celebrities with the Jimmy Neutron movie, which had no celebrity voices and grossed almost one hundred million dollars.
~By Rob Paulsen ~
I am not a federal employee. I am a constitutional officer. My job is the Constitution of the United States, I am not a government employee. I am in the Constitution.
~By Tom DeLay ~
The British soldier can stand up to anything except the British War Office.
~By George Bernard Shaw ~
Sharpe is my favorite role of all that I've played. He's a very complex character. He knows that he's a good soldier, but he will always have to fight the prejudice of aristocratic officers because of his rough working-class upbringing. On the battlefield, he's full of confidence - but off it, he is unsure, a bit shy and ill at ease.
~By Sean Bean ~
I Kenneth Robert Livingstone, having been elected to the office of mayor of London, declare that I take that office upon myself, and will duly and faithfully fulfil the duties of it to the best of my judgement and ability.
~By Kenneth Robert Livingstone ~
Command that no one be received, or kept to be of your household indoors or without, if one has not reasonable belief of them that they are faithful, discreet, and painstaking in the office for which they are received, and withal honest and of good manners.
~By Robert Grosseteste ~
It was a confusing time in my life, a really bad day at the office.

~By Jeb Bush ~
Organized crime in America takes in over forty billion dollars a year and spends very little on office supplies.
~By Woody Allen ~
All civil rulers, as such, are the ordinance and ministers of God; and they are all, by the nature of their office, and in their respective spheres and stations, bound to consult the public welfare.
~By Jonathan Mayhew ~
One of the things the government can't do is run anything. The only things our government runs are the post office and the railroads, and both of them are bankrupt.
~By Lee Iacocca ~
As a kid, we would drive up and down 77 North - that's our highway - there would be office buildings on the side of the highway and I'd be like, that's what my house is going to look like when I get older. I'm going to start making my house look like this.
~By LeBron James ~
What people fail to appreciate is that the currency of corruption in elective office is, not money, but votes.
~By James L. Buckley ~
There certainly is a good 'Tex Mex' restaurant very close to our office. My office is around 100 yards from it. I call it Tex Mex because every couple of years it's changed hands and changed name, I'm not exactly sure why!
~By Andrew Oliver ~
The gun dealer is not only paying these two police officers, but more importantly, the gun dealer has said he will never again sell more than one gun to a customer. This is exactly what we're trying to get the gun industry across the country to do.
~By Michael D. Barnes ~
Never go to a doctor whose office plants have died.
~By Erma Bombeck ~
The school-room sends men to the Legislature, to the bench, and the executive office. The bar-room sends them to the scaffold and hell.
~By Thomas Jordan Jarvis ~
Five days a week I drive from our home to the Episcopal Cathedral Center of Los Angeles where I have an office, my computer, and a wonderful sense of community - especially nurtured by the presence of several younger gay men and women who are good friends.
~By Malcolm Boyd ~
No charges have been filed by the L.A. district attorney's office, and for that I am appreciative. I have said it before, but we all make mistakes, and the day will come soon enough where you no longer read of mine in the tabloids.
~By Scott Stapp ~
We are a long way from getting back the jobs lost since President Bush took office.
~By Pete Stark ~
Much of the demand for women in combat comes from female officers who are eager for medals and promotions.
~By Phyllis Schlafly ~
After all, I have spent the better part of my adult life insisting that government be open... that government be accessible... and that government be held accountable to people who voted us into office.
~By Roy Barnes ~
I generally wake up, exercise and read through a huge amount of newspapers. I get to the office somewhere between 7:30 and 8:00 - my brothers and I are always the first ones in.
~By Ivanka Trump ~
It must be a terrible pressure to have to go to the office.
~By Jilly Cooper ~
The number of medals on an officer's breast varies in inverse proportion to the square of the distance of his duties from the front line.
