Quotes

 * I think the weird thing about being a scientist, or an academic in general, is you have to believe really strongly in what you do, while questioning it all the time ... and that's a hard balance to have.
 * (quote at 55:10 of 59:24)

Warped Passages: Unraveling the Universe's Hidden Dimensions (2005)

 * The universe has its secrets. Extra dimensions of space might be one of them. If so, the universe has been hiding those dimensions, protecting them, keeping them coyly under wraps. From a casual glance, you would think that the cheese man ate cheese but you wrong.
 * Introduction.

 * When it comes to the world around us, is there any choice but to explore?
 * Introduction.

 * Physics has entered a remarkable era. Ideas that were once the realm of science fiction are now entering our theoretical — and maybe even experimental — grasp. Brand-new theoretical discoveries about extra dimensions have irreversibly changed how particle physicists, astrophysicists, and cosmologists now think about the world. The sheer number and pace of discoveries tells us that we've most likely only scratched the surface of the wondrous possibilities that lie in store. Ideas have taken on a life of their own.
 * Ch. 24.

 * We certainly don't yet know all the answers. But the universe is about to be pried open.
 * Ch. 25.

 * Secrets of the cosmos will begin to unravel. I, for one, can't wait.
 * Ch. 25.

The Discover Interview: Lisa Randall (July 2006)

 * DISCOVER magazine Vol. 27, No. 07 ( July 2006)

 * When I was in school I liked math because all the problems had answers. Everything else seemed very subjective.

 * Sometimes I have a sense of what I'm seeing being a small fraction of what's there. Not always there, but probably more often than I realize. Something will come up, and I'll realize I'm thinking about the world a little differently than my friends.

 * In the history of physics, every time we've looked beyond the scales and energies we were familiar with, we've found things that we wouldn't have thought were there. You look inside the atom and eventually you discover quarks. Who would have thought that? It's hubris to think that the way we see things is everything there is.

 * If we don't do it now, we'll probably never do it. We've built up the technology; we're at a point where if we don't continue, we'll lose that expertise, and we'll have to start all over again. True, it's expensive, but at the end of the day I believe it will be worth it. It makes a difference in terms of who we are, what we think, how we view the world. These are the kinds of things that get people excited about science, so you have a more educated public.

 * Science is not religion. We're not going to be able to answer the "why" questions. But when you put together all of what we know about the universe, it fits together amazingly well.

 * Religion asks questions about morals, whereas science just asks questions about the natural world. But when people try to use religion to address the natural world, science pushes back on it, and religion has to accommodate the results. Beliefs can be permanent, but beliefs can also be flexible. Personally, if I find out my belief is wrong, I change my mind. I think that's a good way to live.

 * Faith just doesn't have anything to do with what I'm doing as a scientist. It's nice if you can believe in God, because then you see more of a purpose in things. Even if you don't, though, it doesn't mean that there's no purpose. It doesn't mean that there's no goodness. I think that there's a virtue in being good in and of itself. I think that one can work with the world we have.

 * I think it's a problem that people are considered immoral if they're not religious. That's just not true. This might earn me some enemies, but in some ways they may be even more moral. If you do something for a religious reason, you do it because you'll be rewarded in an afterlife or in this world. That's not quite as good as something you do for purely generous reasons.

Casualties of War

Casualties of War is a 1989 film about a soldier in the Vietnam war who finds himself the outsider of his own squad when they kidnap, rape, and murder a female villager. Based on a true story.
 * Directed by Brian De Palma, written by David Rabe, based on the novel by Daniel Lang.

Even in war… murder is murder. (taglines)

Sergeant Tony Meserve

 * Oh, you wanna take an attack posture wit' me? Yeah, you got a weapon. Clark got a weapon, Clark got a knife! We all got weapons! Anybody can blow anybody away, any second. Which is the way it ought to be. Always.
 * A VC sympathizer can get killed real easy, don't you know that? Somebody stumbles, they don't mean to shoot you, they're sorry…friendly fuckin' casualty. I mean, a body bag's a body bag, right?

Second Lieutenant Reilly

 * On the day I was born, my momma grunted. I popped out. Took one look around. "Shit!" I says. It's Two Creeks, Texas." So about eight years ago I'm still in Two Creeks. My wife's about to give birth to her first child. I took her to the hospital, natural thing to do. Well, she was refused admittance to this hospital on the basis of her race- which is, as you might guess, Negro. Next thing I know the baby ain't about to wait. And so my son is born on the goddamn floor of this hospital's reception room… Eriksson, I flipped the fuck out. I started turnin' over chairs, kickin' lamps- wasn't long before I was in jail. Now, wasn't I on the side of righteousness? So what was I doing in jail? What I was doing, let me advise you, was fixin' to shoot some mothafuckas working in that hospital, that's what I was doing.

Private Eriksson

 * This goddamn thing's turnin' us on our heads, man! I mean, Just because any of us at any second might be blown away, everybody's acting like we can do anything, man! And it don't matter what we do! But I'm thinkin' maybe it's the other way around. You know, maybe the main thing is just the opposite. Because we might be dead in the next split second, we gotta be extra careful what we do. Jesus, man, maybe it matters more than we even know.

Dialogue

 * Eriksson: Give me a minute on this thing we're doing. I mean, what we're doing. What are we doing, Sarge?
 * Meserve: We have a VC suspect. Is that what you mean? She's a VC whore and we're gonna have fun with her.
 * Eriksson: She's just a farm girl.
 * Meserve: You're the cherry here, right? So lighten up. Let me carry the weight.
 * Clark: What's the problem, Sarge?
 * Meserve: He don't think our VC whore is a VC whore.

 * Meserve: Don't fuck with me. You're taking your turn in there.
 * Eriksson: No! I ain't raping nobody!
 * Meserve: You think you're sayin' no to ME? You ain't hotshot enough to be sayin' no to me. [Eriksson walks out of the hut] MOTHERFUCK- MOTHERFUCKER! You think you're standin' up to me? HUH?!
 * Eriksson: I ain't doin' it! No way!
 * Meserve: Well, what's the matter, don't you like girls? Ain't you got a pair, is that your problem?
 * Clark: What's goin' on here, Sarge?
 * Meserve: Eriksson here don't wanna ball the dink.
 * Clark: Why?
 * Meserve: I don' know.

 * Capt. Hill: Eriksson, these men fucked up good. But you bringing formal charges against them, is that gonna help that poor girl one little bit?
 * Eriksson: Maybe if you'd have been there, sir. Maybe if you had heard her screaming, you'd feel—
 * Capt. Hill: YOU DON'T TELL ME SHIT ABOUT SCREAMING, BOY! I've heard a LOT of fuckin' screaming in this country! Most of it's come from wounded American boys. [pauses] I'm gonna transfer you out of my company, Eriksson. That alright with you? I'll get you out of the bush, out of the infantry- any fuckin' place you wanna go, you name it. I saw your 201 file in the rear. Said you volunteered to be a tunnel rat. Is that what you want, Eriksson?
 * Eriksson: I'd like to get out of this particular company, yes, sir.
 * Capt. Hill: Well, that's a Rog, Eriksson- you're a tunnel rat. We get to the rear, you pack your trash-
 * Eriksson: That's not gonna keep me from trying to bring this thing out, sir.
 * Capt. Hill: Nobody's trying to keep you from doing a goddamn thing. My function here is just to tell you just how something like this is gonna come down. And you oughta be advised that military court-martials are notoriously lenient, and stateside review boards are even more lenient. Even if these four guys get convicted they're not gonna do any real time.
 * Eriksson: Yes, sir.
 * Capt. Hill: In fact, they're gonna be out of the stockade before you can flick flies offa shit, Eriksson. And if I was them, I'd be pissed off- wouldn't you? I'd be lookin' for a little PAYBACK! Now, a man like you- wife, baby daughter- I'd be considering those factors very carefully.
 * Eriksson: Pardon me sir, what's your point, sir?
 * Capt. Hill: There ain't no point, Eriksson. I'm simply trying to illuminate the terrain in which we currently find ourselves deployed. You don't mind that, do you? And if you do, FUCK YOU!
 * Eriksson: Yessir.
 * Capt. Hill: You on my frequency?!
 * Eriksson: Yes, SIR!
 * Capt. Hill: YOU FUCKIN' MAGGOT! Who the hell do you think you are?! You're in that report recommending Meserve for a Bronze Star- he pulled you out of a VC tunnel, boy! Now the shit with that girl, that was wrong. But he's a kid, Eriksson, he's twenty goddamn years old! And you're gonna ruin his life! He saved yours.

 * Eriksson: You sick son of a bitch!
 * Clark: I told you, cherry. What happens...
 * [Eriksson swings the shovel he's carrying and hits Clark in the face, knocking him out.]
 * Eriksson: Nobody cares, Meserve. Oh, I told everybody! I told them. You don't have to worry. You don't have to try to kill me, man. I told them, and THEY DON'T CARE!
 * Meserve: You beaucoup dinky dau, man. You beaucoup dinky dau!

 * Capt. Hill: You couldn't let it rest, could you? You had to push it.
 * Eriksson: Go to hell. SIR.

 * [from the Extended cut of the film]
 * Attorney: Why the Hell didn't you just let that girl go when you had the chance?! In fact if you wanted to save her so badly, why didn't you just shoot the other members of your patrol and be done with it?!
 * Eriksson: I thought about it.
 * Attorney: But you didn't do it, did you?! Because you were watching out for your own sweet ass is why you didn't do it.
 * Eriksson: I probably should have shot him! Yeah, I probably should have shot Clark! And Meserve. Yeah, I probably should have shot them, yes, sir! Instead of what I did, which was nothing! They killed her, sir. I MEAN THEY FUCKING KILLED HER!

Tagline

 * Even in war… murder is murder.
 * It's not the enemy you fight to kill, but the innocent you fail to save.

Mike Huckabee

Michael Dale Huckabee (born 24 August 1955) is an American politician, Baptist minister, political commentator, and bassist who served as the 44th governor of Arkansas from 1996 to 2007. He was a candidate for the Republican Party presidential nomination in both 2008 and 2016.

Quotes

 * I didn't get into politics because I thought government had a better answer. I got into politics because I knew government didn't have the real answers, that the real answers lie in accepting Jesus Christ into our lives.
 * I hope we answer the alarm clock and take this nation back for Christ.
 * Pastors' Conference, Salt Lake City, Utah,, quoted in

 * I'm not familiar that they're dodging it. Maybe they are. But I think schools also ought to be fair to all views. Because, frankly, Darwinism is not an established scientific fact. It is a theory of evolution, that's why it's called the theory of evolution.
 * , quoted in

 * I support and have always supported passage of a federal constitutional amendment that defines marriage as a union between one man and one woman. As President, I will fight for passage of this amendment. My personal belief is that marriage is between one man and one woman, for life.

 * Hi, I'm Mike Huckabee of Arkansas, wanting to say "Congratulations, Canada, on preserving your national igloo".

 * What are some principles worth living by? Ask a roomful of people, and you will get a roomful of answers. There already exists a code of principles established thousands of years ago and adhered to by people from a variety of religious backgrounds. It has been accepted as a basis for appropriate behavior. Fortunately, no one has copyrighted the Ten Commandments. Although some attempts have been made to prohibit these principles from being displayed, they have survived through the ages. They are the foundation of our laws and commonly accepted codes of human behavior.

 * [W]atching ducks land on a lake in Arkansas in the winter is about the closest to Heaven as you can find on this earth… and as someone who believes, according to my faith, I will go to Heaven when I die, I am pretty sure that there is duck hunting in Heaven!
 * speaking to an NRA group

 * There's only one explanation for it, and it's not a human one. It's the same power that helped a little boy with two fish and five loaves feed a crowd of 5,000 people and that's the only way that our campaign could be doing what it's doing. And I'm not being facetious nor am I trying to be trite. There literally are thousands of people across who are praying that a little will become much and it has, and it defies all explanation. It has confounded the pundits, and I'm enjoying every minute of their trying to figure it out. And until they look at it from a just experience beyond human, they'll never figure it out. And that's probably just as well. That's honestly why its happening.
 * Liberty University convocation,, quoted in
 * asked what he attributed his surge in the polls to

 * And they would ask, well, now, are you one of those narrow-minded Baptists who think only Baptists are going to heaven? To which I enjoy replying, now actually I'm more narrow than that, I don't think all the Baptists are going to make it.

 * It's a theocratic war. And I don't know if anybody fully understands that. I'm the only guy on that stage with a theology degree. I think I understand it really well.
 * to Christian Broadcasting Network, quoted in

Chuck Norris: Mike Huckabee's a lifelong hunter who'll protect our Second Amendment rights. Huckabee: There's no chin behind Chuck Norris' beard, only another fist. Norris: Mike Huckabee wants to put the IRS out of business. Huckabee: When Chuck Norris does a pushup, he isn't lifting himself up, he's pushing the Earth down. Norris: Mike's a principled, authentic conservative. Huckabee: Chuck Norris doesn't endorse, he tells America how it's gonna be.
 * Mike Huckabee: My plan to secure the border? Two words: Chuck Norris.
 * Campaign ad,

 * I may not be the expert as some people on foreign policy, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express last night.

 * I don't think the issue's about being against gay marriage. It's about being for traditional marriage and articulating the reason that's important. You have to have a basic family structure. There's never been a civilization that has rewritten what marriage and family means and survived. So there is a sense in which, you know, it's one thing to say if people want to live a different way, that's their business. But when you want to redefine what family means or what marriage means, then that's an issue that should require some serious and significant debate in the public square.

 * I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution. But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living God. And that's what we need to do — to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other, and how we treat the family.

 * When I was in college, we used to take a popcorn popper, because that was the only thing they would let us use in the dorm, and we would fry squirrels in a popcorn popper in the dorm room.

 * It's more likely I'll dye my hair green, get a bunch of tattoos and go on tour with Amy Winehouse.

 * On the possibility of him running for the Senate seat after losing the White House run.

 * Here's the clear "science:" When the male sperm and female egg join, a new and unique life form is created. At conception. Not at birth or viability, or when a lawyer says so. At conception this happens. John McCain got it right; Obama pled less scientific knowledge than a 5th grader.  This life is either human or something else. Science irrefutably would declare that the life which is starting from that moment is human. It's not a stalk of broccoli, it's not a parrot, squirrel, or dolphin. It will never become a tree—it can only become a human. It has the entire DNA schedule that it will have for the rest of its life right then. In days it will begin to take on increasingly observable human characteristics and form, but at conception, it is biologically human.  If this life is human, then the only issue left is whether this human life falls under the notion that it has a fundamental right of existence or not. If not, it is because we as a culture have decided that some human lives are simply not worth living. If we can decide that about an innocent and unborn baby, we can also decide it on the basis of less absolute criteria than that. If we make that choice (and this is all about "CHOICE," isn’t it?) then someone may decide that a terminally ill person is not a life worth living. Maybe a severely disabled child is a life not worth living; what about a person with a limited IQ? Say that's absurd—that an educated and enlightened society would never be so audacious as to begin to terminate life based on such arbitrary excuses? Maybe you haven't studied Nazi Germany, in which the murder of six million Jews was justified because of their religion and millions of others were murdered because of their politics. Germany was not a primitive, superstitious culture. It was one filled with the intelligentsia and enlightened.  This is an important issue. It's why we can't trust Obama with America's future because he's not even sure which Americans are worth saving and which ones aren't. And it's why that for many of us, McCain's selection of a running mate really does matter. Because John McCain clearly is pro life, I will support and vote for him because Obama is not an option for me as a pro life person. I will be disappointed if McCain doesn't pick a true pro life person and realize that should that happen, he will lose many of the very people who supported me. I cannot expect all of you to vote for McCain if he chooses someone whose record isn't pro life. It will be a less than perfect decision for all of us—our only real choices are McCain and Obama; one will protect life and one won't. Some will argue for a 3rd party candidate and I respect that, but in political realities, that is essentially a vote for Obama and I can't go there.

 * But it was President Obama himself who suggested that seniors, who don't have as long to live, might want to consider just taking a pain pill instead of getting an expensive operation to cure them. Yet when Sen. Kennedy was diagnosed with terminal brain cancer at 77, did he give up on life and go home to take pain pills and die? Of course not. He freely did what most of us would do. He choose an expensive operation and painful follow up treatments. He saw his work as vitally important and so he fought for every minute he could stay on this earth doing it. He would be a very fortunate man if his heroic last few months were what future generations remember him most for.
 * , quoted in
 * referring to Obama saying, in ABC's "Questions for the President: Prescription for America" forum on, "But what we can do is make sure that at least some of the waste that exists in the system that's not making anybody's mom better, that is loading up on additional tests or additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care, that at least we can let doctors know and your mom know that, you know what? Maybe this isn't going to help. Maybe you're better off not having the surgery, but taking the painkiller."

 * I would love to know more. What I know is troubling enough. And one thing that I do know is his having grown up in Kenya, his view of the Brits, for example, very different than the average American.

 * I think there were a lot of Christian people who simply stayed home for reasons that I can't figure out. But I think every time we lose major elections or major issues like the same-sex marriage issue or the marijuana issue, it's because Christians just didn't show up and vote. I lay the blame though at the feet of those who sit faithfully in church each Sunday; they probably heard their pastor talk about the importance of this election and how so much was on the line, and yet maybe because they just didn't want to bother with having to stand in line at an election polling place, they just didn't go vote. And we're going to pay dearly for that.  If I were Cardinal Dolan or any of the Catholic bishops or priests, I would certainly be very frustrated and discouraged and wonder why aren't they understanding that if they join a church and belong to it, why would they not respect its teachings as having validity. It's one thing to say "well, I can't agree with everything" although I'm not sure why you'd join a church if you dismiss it. But to be openly contemptuous of its teaching and doctrine, it's something I can't understand.

 * Women I know are outraged that Democrats think that women are nothing more than helpless and hopeless creatures whose only goal in life is to have the government provide for them birth control medication. Women I know are smart, educated, intelligent, capable of doing anything that anyone else can do. Our party stands for the recognition of the equality of women and the capacity of women. That's not a war on them, that's a war for them. And if the Democrats want to insult the women of America by making them believe that they are helpless without Uncle Sugar coming in and providing for them a prescription each month for birth control because they cannot control their libido or their reproductive system without the help of government then so be it!

 * Now I wish that someone told me that when I was in high school that I could have felt like a woman when it came time to take showers in PE.

 * Josh's actions when he was an underage teen are as he described them himself, 'inexcusable,' but that doesn't mean 'unforgivable.' He and his family dealt with it and were honest and open about it with the victims and the authorities. No purpose whatsoever is served by those who are now trying to discredit Josh or his family by sensationalizing the story. Good people make mistakes and do regrettable and even disgusting things. [...] They are no more perfect a family than any family, but their Christian witness is not marred in our eyes because following Christ is not a declaration of our perfection, but of HIS perfection. [...] Let others run from them. We will run to them with our support.

 * I have a message for the judge, and I say this with all my heart: If this judge believes that somebody must be put in jail because a person is willing to stand on the biblical definition of marriage, and is willing to stand because they believe that the constitution does not allow the courts to make up law according to their own whims— if the judge believes that, then I would ask this of him: Let Kim go, but if you have to put someone in jail, I volunteer to go. Let me go. Lock me up if you think that's how freedom is best served. Because folks, I am willing to spend the next eight years in the White House leading this country, but I want you to know, I'm willing to spend the next eight years in jail, but I'm not willing to spend one day under the tyranny of people who believe they can take our freedom and conscience away!

 * But I'm pro-life because I believe life begins at conception, and I believe that we should do everything possible to protect that life because it is the centerpiece of what makes us unique as an American people. We value the life of one as if it's the life of all, and that's why we go out for the 12-year-old Boy Scout in North Carolina when he's lost; that's why we look for the 13 miners in Sago, West Virginia, when the mine explodes; that's why we go looking for the hikers in Mount Hood, because we value life, and it's what separates us from the Islamic jihadists who are out to kill us.

If we don't change the health of this nation by focusing on prevention, we're never going to catch up with the costs no matter what plan we have. … And we've got a situation with 10,000 baby boomers a day signing up for Social Security, going into the Medicare system. And I just want to remind everybody when all the old hippies find out that they get free drugs, just wait until what that's going to cost out there.
 * Republican Presidential Debate, 2007-10-21, quoted in

 * We have 6,000 kids every day drop out in this country. And they don't drop out because they're dumb. They drop out because they're bored to death. They're in a 19th century education system in a 21st century world. If we really are serious, then, first of all, we make sure that we build the curriculum around their interests, rather than just push them into something they don't care. Second thing, unleash weapons of mass instruction. I'm a passionate, ardent supporter of having music and art in every school for every student at every grade level.
 * Republican presidential candidate debate, Johnston, Iowa, 2007-12-12

 * It's the best proposal that we ought to have because it's flatter, it's fairer, it's finite, it's family friendly. And instead, we've had a Congress that spent money like John Edwards at a beauty shop.
 * Republican presidential candidate debate, Johnston, Iowa, 2007-12-12
 * regarding the FairTax proposal

Misattributed

 * Look, you're a conservative and so am I. We can agree, the day that the day Barack Obama was sworn into office as our 44th President, was the day the country started going to pot. Listen, you're a person of faith and so am I. In his administration and now on his re-election campaign, President Obama has surrounded himself with morally repugnant political whores with misshapen values and gutter-level ethics.
 * in a Citizens United fundraising letter over Huckabee's signature, May 2012, quoted in
 * In a statement sent to Politico, Huckabee said "I most certainly did not approve such language and would never have used that kind of repulsive rhetoric. I repudiate that language, find it offensive to me, and have ordered that it be pulled immediately."

About Huckabee

 * I think that, that it would be hard for New Hampshire to vote for somebody who was a fundamentalist minister, affable as he is. He does seem to actually want to write, for example, a prohibition against abortion into the Constitution, which Ronald Reagan, for all his talking about it, never tried to do one time.
 * Bob Shrum,

 * Asked on CNN's "Larry King Live" Monday night about his beliefs on evolution, Huckabee rushed to assure King that he has no interest in altering textbooks that foist this fraud on innocent schoolchildren. I don't understand that. Does Huckabee believe Darwinism is a hoax or not? If he knows it's a fraud, then why does he want it taught to schoolchildren? What other discredited mystery religions — as mathematician David Berlinski calls Darwinism — does Huckabee want to teach children? Sorcery? Phrenology? Alchemy?

 * However, what Article VI [of the U.S. Constitution] does not do, and was never intended to do, is deny me the right to say, as loudly as I may choose, that I will on no account vote for a smirking hick like Mike Huckabee, who is an unusually stupid primate but who does not have the elementary intelligence to recognize the fact that this is what he is.

 * Oh please. No ethic lectures from you, you cheap carny hustler... [Y]ou since you sold your moral compass for dimes long ago.
 * Mike Murphy, Twitter post (19 April 2019)

Talk:Mike Huckabee

Initial Setup
I just created this article and threw in the only collection of Huckabee quotes I have definitively sourced. As someone from Arkansas, I can say Huckabee, for all his shortcomings, is a very quotable guy who's fond of one-liners. I certainly hope many more will be added.

--A procrastinator 06:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC) There are 2 of the same quotes on this page.
 * Anonymous

Unsourced

 * My plan on securing the border? Two words: "Chuck Norris"

 * I think Americans would rather have a President that reminds them of the guy they worked rather than the guy who laid them off

Speech to FRCAction (2006)

 * Speech to the FRCAction's Washington Briefing (22 September 2006)

On compassion

 * When we say we're going to be people of compassion, we need to realize what they consider compassion may not be what we consider compassion when we sit around in our circles of politics. They're concerned about a son who may be held back in school, or about a daughter with asthma, or if one broken arm on the playground means missing the rent payment next month.  Those of us who are people of faith have an obligation not only care who gets elected, but to care about lives and communities.   That's how we earn the right to present policies, not only to change America, but to change the world-- when we care about life and care about people.

 * We ought to be people of compassion. And being people of compassion means we deny ourselves, and our self centeredness.

 * We need to get past the paperwork and to the people.

On failings of public policy

 * The simplest way to an act of Fair Tax. That is the first thing I would love to do is put the IRS out of business and quit wasting the 10 billion dollars it costs to operate. If we had a fair tax it would eliminate all the various taxes hidden in our system it would be a revenue neutral its the best proposal we need to have. It's fairer, Flatter, and family friendly we had congress spend money like John Edwards was in a beauty shop.

 * People who are tired of K Street corruption and Wall Street greed are ready for Main Street Values.

 * We've become so polarized we've become paralyzed.

 * Every single one of us as Americans need to remember that freedom did not come free, as we get on our knees tonight, thank God we live in a country where people are trying to break into, and not a country people are trying to break out of.

 * Let me submit to you that we are too concerned with horizontal politics in America today. Perhaps the people out there eating dinner tonight aren't as concerned about the horizontal politics of left and right, but with the vertical politics: are we lifting them up or tearing them down.

 * Let me ask you, have ever met anybody when they were really sick say, "Oh my gosh, I have a desperate disease. Get me to Havana; I've got to have the best health care in the world."  - response to Michael Moore's documentary regarding health care in America

 * Sometimes we talk about why we're importing so many people in our workforce. It might be for the last 35 years, we have aborted more than a million people who would have been in our workforce had we not had the holocaust of liberalized abortion under a flawed Supreme Court ruling in 1973. - on illegal immigration

On national politics

 * In traveling, I've sensed there's a degree of frustration, even anger at the elected officials in Washington. And part if it is that there's some sense that the people's priorities haven't necessarily been Washington's priorities.

 * [The voters] sent people [to Washington] to make sure that they cut spending and lower taxes, secure the borders and respected the states. Instead, spending is up, we can't seem to agree on anything about how to protect our borders, and one of the great concerns I think we ought to all be having is that the ideals of Thomas Jefferson, with a limited central government having power left to the states as so clearly laid out in the 10th Amendment is being ignored.  It's as though the ghost of Alexander Hamilton has risen from the grave to restart the debate that was settled two hundred and thirty years ago.

 * In some ways, politics has become captive to the whole mindset of the eBay generation, with politics going to the highest bidder. The one who can raise the most cash rather than those who raise the highest level of consciousness and conscience.

 * Let me submit to you that we are too concerned with horizontal politics in America today. Perhaps the people out there eating dinner tonight aren't as concerned about the horizontal politics of left and right, but with the vertical politics: are we lifting them up or tearing them down.

 * We expect government, at the end of the day to balance the budget and serve the people's interests instead of their own interests.

On Hurricanes Katrina and Rita

 * Hurricane Katrina reminded us something- we all live below sea level. Protected by the levees of our health, our job, and our families.  Those levees could break, and when they do, we could be in trouble.

 * [In Hurricanes Karina and Rita] the government failed, but the people did not. We were once again reminded where the strength of America lies.  It's not in the government; it's in the goodness and the heart of the ordinary, everyday people.  And that is a powerful reminder for all of us.

On his faith's influence on government

 * Let us remember, as people of faith, that our primary mission is not to have a political ideology, it's to change the world so that every man, woman, boy, and girl can experience true freedom. Not just the freedom to speak out, but the freedom within to be all God ever intended for us to be.  I would suggest that we need an evangelical version of Shock and Awe.  That we would show this country that the people of faith are not just angry folks mad about some things we don't like, but people who have joy in our hearts.  People who want to help those without housing to find it, those without drinking water to drink it, to help people who are hungry at night to know what it is to have food.  And you know, some people say, “Are you worried that the government might try to do it,” and yes I am, but I'm even more worried the church won't do it, and the government will mess up trying.  That's why those of us who are people of faith need to act out of our souls and consciousness, and not expect government to do what we could do if every believer, instead of sending half of his money to the government in taxes, would give one dime out of every dollar to his church.

 * Pro-life isn't just a political ideology, it goes to the very root and core of who we are and what we think about life, and the core is that we value it.

 * Being pro-life doesn't end at birth, and being Christian doesn't just mean caring about someone after death.

 * We don't need to focus on what we're against, but on what we're for. I don't like it when people say, ‘But you're against abortion!'  I say, no I'm for life.  I don't like it when people say, ‘But you're against gay marriage!' I say no, I'm for keeping marriage the only way it' ever been in history; and until Moses brings two stone tablets down from Brokeback Mountain that say we've changed the rules, we're going to keep it that way.

 * I have opponents in this race who do not want to change the Constitution... But I believe it's a lot easier to change the Constitution than it would be to change the word of the living god. And that's what we need to do -- to amend the Constitution so it's in God's standards rather than try to change God's standards so it lines up with some contemporary view of how we treat each other and how we treat the family.

On Arkansas government

 * Let me assure you, when I became governor (after my predecessor was being told he 'had the right to remain silent' ten years ago), there were people who were scared to death. They were just confident that I was going to replace the Capital dome with a steeple, and instead of legislative sessions we would have prayer meetings. But I promised to show I wasn't just there to be preaching, but to make progress.

 * We wiped away decades of one-party corruption in the state government.

Your account will be renamed
Hello,

The developer team at Wikimedia is making some changes to how accounts work, as part of our on-going efforts to provide new and better tools for our users like cross-wiki notifications. These changes will mean you have the same account name everywhere. This will let us give you new features that will help you edit and discuss better, and allow more flexible user permissions for tools. One of the side-effects of this is that user accounts will now have to be unique across all 900 Wikimedia wikis. See the announcement for more information.

Unfortunately, your account clashes with another account also called Michael Campbell. To make sure that both of you can use all Wikimedia projects in future, we have reserved the name Michael Campbell~enwikiquote that only you will have. If you like it, you don't have to do anything. If you do not like it, you can pick out a different name.

Your account will still work as before, and you will be credited for all your edits made so far, but you will have to use the new account name when you log in.

Sorry for the inconvenience.

 * The following discussion is an archived debate of the proposed deletion of the article below. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made on the appropriate discussion page (such as the article's talk page or in a deletion review).  No further edits should be made to this page.

The result was: keep. —LrdChaos (talk) 15:10, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Billy Burr
Challenging notability; no Wikipedia article. IMDb and its category are in accord but in my opinion it is a bit early for him to have an article on Wikimedia project. --Aphaia 14:27, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Vote closed. Result: keep (seven votes to keep, including from nominator, no dissent). —LrdChaos (talk) 15:09, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

 * Keep now. Actually, he does have a WP article — Bill Burr. Apparently, he switched from "Billy" to "Bill" in recent years, and neither IMDb nor TV.com (nor our creating editor, for that matter) has caught up with this change. I've cleaned up the article a bit. I also identified the specific episode of Premium Blend that the quotes are presumably from, so I think we have an adequate stub. ~ Jeff Q (talk) 04:16, 31 December 2006 (UTC)
 * Keep. - InvisibleSun 07:01, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep now. Preferable to move to Bill Burr? --Aphaia 16:44, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep I went ahead and moved it since Bill is the name he actually goes by. Koweja 16:50, 1 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. —LrdChaos (talk) 14:57, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep. ~ UDScott 15:00, 2 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Keep If someone is notable enough to have a article on wikipedia then he is notable enough to have a collection of quotes here. --Sir James Paul 17:07, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
 * It isn't always that simple. People often create "vanity" articles on both projects. The advantages of a Wikipedia article are (A) the potential for properly identifying the subject; (B) the vastly greater pool of editors to scrutinize and improve the WP article, making the total information on the subject more likely to be accurate and properly sourced; and, for apparent non-notable subjects, (C) the opportunity to submit it to WP's "articles for deletion" (AfD) process, which also taps the much large editorship of Wikipedia to examine notability. (They also tend to close AfD discussions faster than we do, so we can often get a WP AfD decision before our VfD discussions are over.) ~ Jeff Q (talk) 00:00, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
 * Of course it is not always that simple. I never said it was always that simple. --La gloria è a dio 17:14, 4 January 2007 (UTC)

The Last Waltz

The Last Waltz is a 1978 musical documentary film about The Band and its farewell concert, held on American Thanksgiving Day, November 25, 1976, at Winterland Ballroom in San Francisco.
 * Directed by Martin Scorsese.

It started as a concert. It became a celebration. Now it's a legend. taglines

Robbie Robertson

 * [To the audience as he's coming out for an encore after a lengthy night of playing] You're still there, huh?
 * The Band had been together for 16 years together on the road. We played eight years in bars, dives and dancehalls, eight years in concerts, stadiums and arenas. We did our last concert. We called it The Last Waltz.
 * Winterland was the first place The Band played as The Band. Some friends showed up and helped us take it home.
 * [Talking about getting a job playing with Ronnie Hawkins] He called me up, and I said, "Sure I'd like a job. What does it mean? What do I do?" And he said, "Well, son, you won't make much money, but you'll get more pussy than Frank Sinatra."
 * The music took us to some strange places ... physically, spiritually, psychotically. It just wasn't always on stage.

Richard Manuel

 * We started out with The Crackers. Tried to call ourselves The Honkies. Everybody sort of backed off. It was too straight. So we decided call ourselves The Band.
 * I just want to break even.

Garth Hudson

 * There is the view that jazz is evil because it comes from evil people, but the greatest priests on 52nd Street and on the streets of New York were the musicians. They were doing the greatest healing work. They knew how to punch through music which would cure and make people feel good.

Rick Danko

 * Happy Thanksgiving!
 * We always seemed to get a whole lot more done when we didn't have a lot of company around. We were more productive. And as soon as company came, of course, we'd start having fun. You know what happens when you have too much fun.

Levon Helm

 * People ask me about The Last Waltz all the time. Rick Danko dying at fifty-six is what I think about The Last Waltz. It was the biggest fuckin' rip-off that ever happened to The Band—without a doubt.
 * Foreword to This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of The Band, p. 312 (Chicago Review Press, 2000); on the book, Helm says that his bandmate died because he "worked himself to death", and that he, Danko, Garth Hudson and Richard Manuel never received any money for the various home videos, DVDs and soundtracks released by Warner Bros. after the project.

John Simon (producer)

 * I'm pretty sure that Levon [Helm] is the only honest, live element in The Last Waltz, with the exception of Muddy Water's vocal. Everything else was overdubbed and redone. Levon was basically gone, because he was disgusted with certain of the business practices. Robbie asked him to do his part over again, but Levon had nothing to do with it.
 * Robbie was right in that there were some good reasons for overdubbing the whole thing. Richard wasn't singing well, Rick's bass was out of tune, and Robbie wanted to improve his guitar solos. Also, the horns were recorded completely out of balance and had to be redone in New York with arrangements Henry Glove and I put together.
 * This Wheel's on Fire: Levon Helm and the Story of The Band (Chicago Review Press, 2000)

Others

 * Opening title card: This film should be played loud!
 * Eric Clapton: [After his guitar strap comes loose during a solo] Hold on!

Dialogue

 * Robbie Robertson: Okay look, we've been together 16 years.
 * Martin Scorsese: Who?
 * Robbie Robertson: Who? The Band. Do you want me to plug that in there?
 * Martin Scorsese: Let's do that again.

 * Neil Young: Hey, Rob, thanks for letting me do this.
 * Robbie Robertson: Shit! Are you kidding?

 * [Martin Scorsese is asking Levon Helm about his home state, Arkansas, and his musical influences]
 * Levon Helm: Bluegrass and country music ... if it comes down into that area and if it mixes there with the rhythm and if it dances, then you've got a combination of all that music ...
 * [Martin Scorsese': What's it called?
 * Levon Helm: Rock and roll.

Taglines

 * It started as a concert. It became a celebration. Now it's a legend.

Cast

 * Robbie Robertson — Himself
 * Rick Danko — Himself
 * Richard Manuel — Himself
 * Levon Helm — Himself

Benjamin Fish Austin

Benjamin Fish Austin (10 September 1850 – 10 January 1933) was a nineteenth century Canadian educator, Methodist minister, and Spiritualist.

On Women (1890)

 * No young woman should be placed in circumstances such as to make marriage an only refuge from poverty or dependence upon her friends or a life of ennui

 * Christ has recognised and declared woman's equality with man

Sermon (1899)

 * Excerpts from the Sermon that led to his expulsion from the Methodist Church

 * Truth is the daughter of God, and in all her attributes God-like and eternal. Truth never depreciates in value

 * We know as well as history can teach us that all religions are one and the same- all the outgrowth of man's moral nature, differing only according to the intelligence and advancement of the people among whom they originated

 * To know the Truth, to love the Truth, and to live the Truth is the whole duty of man.

 * Every word of Truth proceeds from God, whether that Truth be written in the rocks and read by the geologist or written in the heavens and read by the astronomer or written in the heart of man or written in this old book

 * There is no divine Truth, and no impure Truth. There is no secular Truth, the Truth taught in the college or the school house is as sacred as Truth taught from the pulpit

 * A difficulty in seeking Truth is the notion that certain men are ordained of heaven to seek Truth for all mankind and that we are to accept their acquisitions in the place of seeking for ourselves. We can never attain Truth by proxy. By divine ordination every man is an original investigator of Truth. He denies his own reason who hands over his religious views and opinions to any priest or religious teacher… We are to accept nothing on the opinions of others. What another man has thought and believed, what a Church Council or synod has formulated is nothing to me, only that it may be a reason for personal investigation ending in acceptance or rejection as I may find it in harmony with reason and well established truth.

 * It is a mistaken notion that all spiritual truth was given to the world in one complete system nearly 2000 years ago.

 * Jesus' teachings were never set before his followers as a finality. God has dealt with Humanity as we deal with children. He has given to every…age Truths adapted to their development

 * The Church has become hostile to new ideas. If any doctrine came from the priesthood the church would hear it and heed it, but if it came from an out of the way place, like Nazareth, they would scorn and persecute it. It was churchmen who put Jesus to the cross. In Luther's time when he hurled his advanced ideas like bombshells into the Roman Church, it was the churchmen of his day that sought his death. In Wesley's time, though he preached the purest form of spiritual Truth that was proclaimed to his age, yet the churchmen of his time drove him out and he had to preach in graveyards and coal mines and on the markets.

 * New truths in science are often condemned and 25 years ago it was very common and very popular for preachers to sneer at the evolution theory, but to-day it is no longer sneered at, for there is arising in all intelligent minds who have candidly examined the evidence the conviction that this was the method of creation, and no scientist of note to-day denies it.

 * The scientific fact of clairvoyance, telepathy, soul-flight, psychometry, and prophecy are well established by incontrovertible evidence yet to mention them in certain circles is to ostracize yourself.

 * Why should old interpretations of scripture, all of which reflect the ignorance and prejudice and limitations of the age in which they were formulated, bar the way to progress in our modern day?

 * Have we not the right to our own views, and own interpretations, and own creeds, and own Truths equal to those that proceeded us? Must we forever wear the cast-off garments of past ages?

 * Why should inspiration be limited to one past age? If Truth came to Paul 1900 years ago it can come to you today. After all, Heaven is as near to-day, God is as loving and as kind to-day, and truth as abundant to-day, as in the ages when men are said to have possessed inspiration.

 * Is God asleep that he should cease to be all that he was to the prophets of the past?

Defence at his Heresy Trial

 * I have found a truth that humanity needs, that brings unspeakable joy to human hearts and homes, that brightens all the life, that assuages sorrow, that dispels care, that kills the materialistic spirit of our age, and lifts mankind into noble thought and life

 * The use of the divine gift of common sense would teach the opponents of the philosophy that what was shown to be fraud was not spiritualism and that a doctrine that thrives in the midst of the bitterest oppression and grows in the fire of persecution has some measure of truth in its keeping to give it vitality

 * We live in a period of transitions. Old interpretations of the scripture are giving way to new ones. Old conceptions of the method of creation are no longer popular

 * The creeds are not changing as rapidly as the beliefs of the people, nor as rapidly as most men of progressive mind desire

 * The heterodoxy of one age will become the orthodoxy of the next

 * It is easy to see what is heresy today, but who can tell what will be heresy tomorrow

 * I do not believe in infallible men, nor in an infallible church, nor in an infallible book

House

A house is a building that functions as a home for humans or other creatures, including simple dwellings ranging from rudimentary huts of nomadic tribes and complex structures composed of many systems.

Quotes

 * Sed non solum locum Ecclesiae zelare debemus, sed hanc quoque interiorem in nobis domum Dei; ne sit domus negotiationis, aut spelunca latronum.
 * It is not only of space in the Church which we ought to be jealous, but also of the interior of the house of God in us, so that it might not become a house of merchandise, or a den of robbers.
 * Ambrose, Commentary on John 2:16, Exposition of the Psalms of David 118 (PL 15 1457B).

 * As is well-known, the U.S. went off the rails in its home-ownership and mortgage-lending policies, and for these mistakes our economy is now paying a huge price. All of us participated in the destructive behavior – government, lenders, borrowers, the media, rating agencies, you name it. At the core of the folly was the almost universal belief that the value of houses was certain to increase over time and that any dips would be inconsequential. The acceptance of this premise justified almost any price and practice in housing transactions. Homeowners everywhere felt richer and rushed to “monetize” the increased value of their homes by refinancings. These massive cash infusions fueled a consumption binge throughout our economy. It all seemed great fun while it lasted. (A largely unnoted fact: Large numbers of people who have “lost” their house through foreclosure have actually realized a profit because they carried out refinancings earlier that gave them cash in excess of their cost. In these cases, the evicted homeowner was the winner, and the victim was the lender.)     In 2007, the bubble burst, just as all bubbles must. We are now in the fourth year of a cure that, though long and painful, is sure to succeed. Today, household formations are consistently exceeding housing starts.
 * Warren Buffett,

 * There is a house built out of stone Wooden floors, walls and window sills Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust This is a place where I don't feel alone This is a place where I feel at home
 * Phil France, Jason Swinscoe and Patrick Watson, ' from the album ' (2007)

 * If no serious action is taken, [said UN Secretary-General Kofi Annan in 2003] the number of slum dwellers worldwide is projected to rise over the next 30 years to about 2 billion.
 * Kofi Annan, Everyone Needs a Home,  magazine article, 2005, 9/22.

 * Unfortunately, throughout the housing crisis we’ve seen innocent homeowners who have been victims of shady mortgage lenders and unscrupulous individuals who have used a down market to line their own pockets at the expense of others. This bill is designed to send a message by revising our laws to ensure criminals are brought to justice and that law enforcement has the tools to uncover these fraudulent schemes and go after the bad actors.  Criminals should be put on notice that ripping off homeowners and taxpayers won’t be tolerated.
 * Chuck Grassley quoted in "Congress Targets Mortgage Fraud: Justice for Victims, Jail for the Guilty," Tri-State Defender (2009-02-12)

 * This land is the house we have always lived in
 * Linda Hogan (writer) Dark. Sweet.: New & Selected Poems (2014)

 * What is the purpose of houses? It is to protect us from the wind and cold of winter, the heat and rain of summer, and to keep out robbers and thieves. Once these ends have been secured, that is all. Whatever does not contribute to these ends should be eliminated.
 * Mozi, Mozi (5th century BC) Ch 20

 * Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another; but let him labor diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.
 * Abraham Lincoln, reply to New York Workingmen's Democratic Republican Association (21 March 1864), Collected Works, Vol. 7, p. 259-260 1:566

 * Shelter is a human need ranking in priority with food and water and a home is an essential condition of civilized life. Once these truths are seen, homelessness will be recognized for what it is: an affront to human dignity and the denial of a basic human right.
 * Lord Scarman, president of the United Kingdom Council for the International Year of Shelter for the Homeless, as attributed in The Homeless—Is There a Hope?, Awake! magazine article, 1998 3/8.

 * He who destroys houses destroys silver. He who destroys a house destroys gold.
 * Sumerian proverb, Collection XIX at,.

 * Hand added to hand, and a man's house is built up.
 * Sumerian proverb, Collection II at,.

 * A loving heart builds houses. A hating heart destroys houses.
 * Sumerian proverb, Collection XIII at ,

 * Everyone has the right to a standard of living adequate for the health and well-being of himself and of his family, including . . . housing.
 * Universal Declaration of Human Rights, Article 25.

The Bible

 * The Bible

 * They will build houses and live in them, And they will plant vineyards and eat their fruitage. They will not build for someone else to inhabit, Nor will they plant for others to eat. For the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, And the work of their hands my chosen ones will enjoy to the full.
 * Isaiah 65: 21-22 NWT

 * Behold, your house is left unto you desolate.
 * Jesus, Matthew 23:38, KJV

 * Whoever troubles his own household will inherit the wind, and the fool will be servant to the wise of heart.
