Laboring men can perform for themselves the office of becoming their own employers.
~By Leland Stanford ~
Even at the United Nations, where legend has it that the building was designed so that there could be no corner offices, the expanse of glass in individual offices is said to be a dead giveaway as to rank. Five windows are excellent, one window not so great.

Even the Congressional Budget Office and the Social Security trustees appointed by the president say that Social Security is financially sound, without any changes for the next 40 to 50 years.
~By James Roosevelt ~
The lesson of the last year is this: foreign policy can't be managed through the politics of personality, and our President would do well to take note of an observation John F. Kennedy made once he was in office - that all of the world's problems aren't his predecessor's fault.
~By Sarah Palin ~
A Congressional Budget Office report released as recent as June 2004 says the system will be able to pay full benefits until 2052, and 80 percent after that.

They basically said that if I didn't show up for school they'd mark me present, they wouldn't send the truant officer after me. At 16 I enrolled in something called continuing education. Once a month I'd go out to Jamaica, but I didn't take it seriously.

Hollywood is run by people who sit up in their executive office, who are not connected to Mississippi, Alabama, Chicago, South Carolina. They know nothing about that, they don't go to church, and they make their decisions about what they think is right.

Our officers and men behaved like men who are determined to be free.
~By Anthony Wayne ~
When it came time to go to college, I had been accepted for Harvard when my father was offered the position of head of the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company office on the west coast, and we moved to San Francisco.

~By James Tobin ~
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 ~
The film is not a success until it makes money. It's only good when there's a dollar figure attached to the box office.
~By John Cusack ~
I'm not a fan of Secretary Rumsfeld. I don't think he listens enough to his uniformed officers.
~By Trent Lott ~

~By Robert Guillaume ~
As far as a Latin explosion, I'm sorry, I'm the only Latino who's going to say it, but there is no Latin explosion. I'm sorry. Four or five top box office people do not make it an explosion, and it's disgusting to me that people will perceive it that way.

~By James Longstreet ~
Let me be clear - no one is above the law. Not a politician, not a priest, not a criminal, not a police officer. We are all accountable for our actions.
~By Antonio Villaraigosa ~
I like spending time at home. In Paris, people drop by and have a bite to eat, or they drop by and watch Friends on TV. I take my dog to the office there, and I walk to work sometimes.

~By Gustav Stresemann ~
Since taking office, President Obama has signed into law spending increases of nearly 25 percent for domestic government agencies - an 84 percent increase when you include the failed stimulus. All of this new government spending was sold as 'investment.'

My office is at Yankee stadium. Yes, dreams do come true.

~By Francois de La Rochefoucauld ~
If I'm just at the White House, I have meetings in my office, I sign letters, I plan different things. Late in the afternoon, I'll quit working and wait for my husband to get home.
~By Laura Bush ~
With her high pale brow under her faded brown hair, she was like a rock washed clean by years of her husband's absences at conventions, dinners, committee meetings or simply at the office.
~By Louis Auchincloss ~

~By Eleanor Clift ~
I grew up in a house with no running water, 16 miles from the closest place that had a post office. I had a very parochial view of the world.

~By George Takei ~
I've never had a career of that kind of box office power. I've always learned the hard way.
~By Holly Hunter ~

~By Helmut Jahn ~
What is inherently wrong with the word 'politician' if the fellow has devoted his life to holding public office and trying to do something for his people?
~By Richard J. Daley ~

~By Jay Chiat ~
The question really is how do we get Embassy Officers into the minds of the American business community. That is a much more difficult task than understanding a statistical matrix.

~By Jonathan Mayhew ~
To have the opportunity to lead the Solicitor General's office is the honor of a lifetime. As you know, this is an office with a long and rich tradition, not only of extraordinary legal skill but also of extraordinary professionalism and integrity. That is due, in large measure, to the people who have led it.
~By Elena Kagan ~
It's easier to run for office than to run the office.

~By Pete Rozelle ~
Most enlightened men now recognize that General Jackson is not fitted to fill the office of President; his limited experience of anything to do with civil government and his great age make him incompetent.
~By Jared Sparks ~
The plane took off at 8:10 in the morning - or that's when it was scheduled to take off. And that's when I believe it took off. I had been in my office at the Department of Justice. Someone told me that there had been the two strikes that occurred at the World Trade Center.
~By Ted Olson ~
I yield to no one in my admiration for the office as a social center, but it's no place actually to get any work done.
~By Katharine Whitehorn ~
Folks who are getting their strokes in the South are not as unhappy with Howard Dean. You don't see anybody starting any movement to get him out of office.

That the apostolic office is temporary, is a plain historical fact.

~By Robert Shea ~
My assignment was in the communications office, where I typed out dispatches.
~By Jack Adams ~
Well, I think that those of us in public life that are trying to do a good job, and that are faced with this popular new game that the media has of being critical of everything that anybody in public office does probably are thin-skinned.
~By Bill Scott ~
I give no more paroles to British officers.
~By Christopher Gadsden ~
