Noel Coward

Daniel Greenberg
People think, ‘Oh, you’re doing ‘The Wiz’ because ‘Empire’ is such a big hit.’ The truth is, staging this musical has been a dream of ours since the ’90s, but the rights were tied up. It’s just coincidental that, this year, when we were choosing a new musical, the rights were cleared.
Craig Zadan
Ours is an age of pedagogy. Anxious parents instruct their children more and more, at younger and younger ages, until they’re reading books to babies in the womb.
Alison Gopnik

Sharan Burrow
Savages we call them because their manners differ from ours.
Benjamin Franklin

Horatio Nelson
In Bulgaria, they use the Cyrillic alphabet, which is completely different from ours. You can’t sound the words out, so you can’t read street signs or packages in the grocery store! You have to rely on pictures and guesses.
Katherine McNamara
Our aim may be as high as the endless sky, but we should have a resolve in our minds to walk ahead, hand-in-hand, for victory will be ours.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee
Usually, YouTube channels are named after the person that you see on camera… or in the case of ours, it could have been the show, but we didn’t even name the company ‘Red vs. Blue.’ We named it something else to give people the idea that we were going to be doing more than that.
Burnie Burns
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.
Abraham Lincoln

Julian Fellowes
Culture, which makes talent shine, is not completely ours either, nor can we place it solely at our disposal. Rather, it belongs mainly to our country, which gave it to us, and to humanity, from which we receive it as a birthright.
Jose Marti
Ours is a world of nuclear giants and ethical infants. We know more about war that we know about peace, more about killing that we know about living.
Omar N. Bradley
In a lot of cases, as in Tom and Nicole’s case, the tabloids were about to break the story, so they said just let the news out. And they called organizations such as ours.
Mary Hart
China’s government has far more control over the country’s economy than our government has over ours, and it is moving from export dependence to a model of growth driven by domestic demand. Any restriction on exports to the U.S. would simply accelerate a process already underway.
Joseph Stiglitz
The good thing about India, and the good thing about Melbourne, is that it’s very, very hard on this planet of ours to find two places that are almost diametrically opposed.

Robert Osborne
Like the American soldiers who went before them, they are putting their lives on the line to protect ours.

Orhan Pamuk
Ours was a never a ‘religious’ religious home because my parents thought of religion as something you do: it’s the way you engage in the local community. That has meant a lot to me.
Margrethe Vestager
Black people have, like, this thing, and I have it, we all have it, we have this kind of embarrassment. Where we don’t like white people to find out our little insecurities and out little quirks. We don’t really like that that much. It’s kind of, we’re like, ‘Don’t let them know – that ours; that’s for us.’
Michael Che

Like a precious family heirloom, freedom is not just ou

Like a precious family heirloom, freedom is not just ours to enjoy, but to treasure, protect, and pass on to future generations.

Anthony Carmona
In the case of the armies at Fredericksburg it would have been, to say the least, very hazardous to give counter-attack, the Federal position being about as strong as ours from which we had driven them back.

I’m just going to be as honest as I can with my children and really try to build their character to be as strong as ours is.
Kevin Federline
I don’t think there is any franchise more powerful than ours around securing the consumer experience and we will not concede that to anyone including Microsoft.

Bob Taft
I’d love to be the first one to say this, but it automatically turns into – we all have those responsibilities that we ignore because we don’t feel like they’re ours.
Rosario Dawson
Most of us need time to work through pain and loss. We can find all manner of reasons for postponing forgiveness. One of these reasons is waiting for the wrongdoers to repent before we forgive them. Yet such a delay causes us to forfeit the peace and happiness that could be ours.
James E. Faust
Consciousness surely does not depend on language. Babies, many animals, and patients robbed of speech by brain damage are not insensate robots; they have reactions like ours that indicate that someone’s home.
Steven Pinker
In a country of such recent civilization as ours, whose almost limitless treasures of material wealth invite the risks of capital and the industry of labor, it is but natural that material interests should absorb the attention of the people to a degree elsewhere unknown.
Felix Adler
We spend a lot of time training and retraining. It’s heartbreaking because our education system has failed all of us. And again you go to China, even Mexico, Brazil the education systems are valued – ours are not in this country at K-12 level. It’s amazing how that change has transpired in my lifetime.
Douglas R. Oberhelman
Usually, homecoming themes are like, ‘A Night Under the Stars’ or ‘An Evening to Remember.’ Ours was simply, ‘Batman.’
Mikey Day
With each decision of ours that takes from the People a question properly left to them – with each decision that is unabashedly based not on law, but on the ‘reasoned judgment’ of a bare majority of this Court – we move one step closer to being reminded of our impotence.
Antonin Scalia
Although I do feel that with a show like ours we ourselves are getting a lot more young listeners at concerts.
Marian McPartland
There can be no knowledge without emotion. We may be aware of a truth, yet until we have felt its force, it is not ours. To the cognition of the brain must be added the experience of the soul.
Arnold Bennett
The Greeks, the Italians, and the Indians, from whom we get our ideas, erect monuments to ideas; we erect ours to men, and of such monuments we have an oversupply.
Gutzon Borglum
The Russian leadership doesn’t operate in the same way as ours does. Informal networks have a much more important role to play than formal networks.
Fiona Hill
Here in Britain, we can get a little bit snobby about American history. Yes, their history is not quite as long as ours. But it isn’t all that short, either.
Michael Portillo
Years go by, but the heart of what we all fight and die for at the core is the same. We fight and die for love and our family and our land and for what’s ours. We do things for something as simple as pride.
Matt Barr
Ours is a world which feels so unsettled and dangerous in large ways, whether it’s terrorism or global financial meltdown or climate change – huge things that affect us deeply, and yet things about which we can do, individually, very little.
Sarah Waters
Nostalgia can be an awful bore, especially for those whose memories are painted in hues different from ours.

Ken Xie
The dangers of a concentration of all power in the general government of a confederacy so vast as ours are too obvious to be disregarded.
Franklin Pierce
The land is ours. It’s not European and we have taken it, we have given it to the rightful people… Those of white extraction who happen to be in the country and are farming are welcome to do so, but they must do so on the basis of equality.
Robert Mugabe
If you have a large family like ours, you have to fight to get your point across, and I think I learned that from my dad.
Ella Woodward
Australia has a very big history of incarceration. What does that mean to us? What does it mean that we came over to a country that’s not necessarily ours and filled it with white prisoners?
Yael Stone
Mine is better than ours.
Benjamin Franklin
I know there were many good policemen who died doing their duty. Some of the cops were even friends of ours. But a cop can go both ways.
Martin Scorsese
Liberal democracies like ours seem, for the most part, to have learned how to avoid meticulously planned mass-casualty plots with the complexity and scale of 9/11. But they don’t know how to keep their citizens safe at night clubs and concerts, in supermarkets, on beachfront promenades, from truck drivers.
George Packer
They politics like ours profess, the greater prey upon the less.
Matthew Green
My dear dad always tried to introduce me to children of

My dear dad always tried to introduce me to children of his friends, but I just never took to them. Those were the people we were shoved with at school dances, usually Eton boys because it was the cleverest boys’ school, and ours was supposed to be the cleverest girls’ school.
Rachael Stirling
There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
O. Henry
This is why universities, and civil society more generally, are so important for a democracy like ours, founded on a genuine idealism that we have a hard time holding on to. They provide a space to question whatever we are doing in the name of things we say we believe in or might believe in.
Abhijit Banerjee
With myself, how to pass time becomes sometimes the question – unavoidably, though it strikes me as a thing unspeakably sad in a life so short as ours.

Mark McKinnon
You need, in order to run a country as diverse as ours, a prominently recognized news source.

Robin Day
Ours is a government elected by the people and it will not succumb to threats.
Nawaz Sharif
If you can reach people in their pockets, on their lunch breaks, on their commutes to and from work, on recess at school, and make things they want to see, that’s an amazing thing for a show like ours.
James Corden
I would just like to say something, ladies and gentlemen. Something that I think is very important. It is that, you, we – we own this country. We – we own it. It is not you owning it, and not politicians owning it. Politicians are employees of ours.
Clint Eastwood
We have all had the experience of finding that our reactions and perhaps even our deeds have denied beliefs we thought were ours.
James Baldwin
We humans can get used to anything. It really is remarkable. The problem is that we often use this glorious ability of ours to stay stuck in mediocrity. Oh, the years we waste adapting to lousy marriages, soul-sucking jobs, being friends with people who are rude to waitresses.
Jen Sincero
Ours is a stable country. Ours is a sensible country. And ours is a fundamentally decent country.
Charles Kennedy
You see, in government, people give you a mandate, and you’ve got to fulfil that. Ours is very clear. Fix our public finances and get our country working.
Enda Kenny
Korn is great friends of ours, so to be on tour with friends is usually our number one. We’ve been very blessed to meet a lot of great bands, successful bands, that we can go tour with.
Synyster Gates
If we can reach populations in developing countries and help them understand the value of their indigenous diet and lifestyles rather than copying ours, perhaps we can reverse the exponential rise in cardiovascular disease that is plaguing them.
Dean Ornish
We call a child’s mind ‘small’ simply by habit; perhaps it is larger than ours is, for it can take in almost anything without effort.
Christopher Morley
Government has to be cut back like asparagus… every day… or it gets away and goes to seed. Ours did. When there’s too much of it, the flower becomes a weed.
Paul Harvey
All the powers in the universe are already ours. It is we who have put our hands before our eyes and cry that it is dark.
Swami Vivekananda
Ours is a company that doesn’t do annualized software, and so when we create a ‘Zelda’ game, when we create a ‘Smash Bros.’ game, or a ‘Pokemon’ experience comes on the platform, it needs to be exceptionally compelling because we plan on selling it for a very long time.
Reggie Fils-Aime
I want to make sure that ours is a party that is focusing on both middle class issues and not becoming a party of our two coasts.
Steve Bullock
The Americans have their way of talking, their way of dressing, their way of doing things, and we have ours. That’s why this whole U.K. underground thing has become sick, because everyone has finally said, ‘Yeah, yeah, Drake is sick – but hang on, we are too.’
Stormzy
In a patriarchal society like ours, women have to fight hard for a seat at the table. Boys are privileged over girls from birth. Equal opportunity and access for both girls and boys must become the norm.
Shabana Azmi
I think being gay and gay people are the most wonderful things in the world. I wish all of us could have the power and pride to benefit from what is rightfully ours. Why isn’t there an enormous building in Washington called the ‘National Association of Lesbian and Gay Concerns’ to lobby for us?
Larry Kramer
I do hope there are other wonderful planets living and thriving out there, but ours is special because it is ours and ours to take care of. We really can’t take that too lightly.
Sunita Williams
The United States is, after all, supposed to be a free country – and it has never made any sense to me that choices about what to put into our own bodies aren’t ours and ours alone.
Kat Timpf
Nick spent his first years on walks in his stroller and Snugli, playing in Berkeley parks and baby gyms and visiting zoos and aquariums. His mother and I divorced when he was 4. No child benefits from the bitterness and savagery of a divorce like ours.
David Sheff
When we fall in love, we feel that this person is ours and we are theirs by our mutual volition, and we know they could leave – we know that because they are free, and their freedom is part of the thrill.
Samantha Harvey
Let’s give the conventions back to the politicians. If we think there’s any news, we can tack it on afterward as commentary. But the conventions should be their show, not ours.
Don Hewitt
This is what confuses me. People say, ‘I believe that we landed on the Moon’ but then they find it really far fetched that there can’t be other planets where little men haven’t travelled to ours.
Scarlett Moffatt
God is limitless in His love, and asks that we at least make the effort to be limitless in ours.
Marianne Williamson
The universe may have a purpose, but nothing we know su

The universe may have a purpose, but nothing we know suggests that, if so, this purpose has any similarity to ours.
Bertrand Russell
We cherish our friends not for their ability to amuse us, but for ours to amuse them.
Evelyn Waugh
Real government is about looking beyond the vested to the national interest, setting up the necessary conditions to enable the next, more enabled and more empowered generation to achieve a country as prosperous, a people as content, as ours deserve to be.
Gloria Macapagal Arroyo
It’s been a big flaw of ours in the soccer department that a lot of our best athletes go and play other sports. But I think young players have seen me, and others, go over to Europe and play in some of the best leagues – and MLS is improving so much, too.
Christian Pulisic
That’s the primary mission of ours: to protect the border, enhance the border, and capitalize on what the border has to offer. It’s the source of jobs, source of positive immigration stories.
Beto O’Rourke
If the nineteenth century was the age of the editorial chair, ours is the century of the psychiatrist’s couch.
Marshall McLuhan
When we want to have our own style of living, it is nobody’s business but ours. What we do in private is our private business.

There’s no dearth of kindness in this world of ours; Only in our blindness we gather thorns for flowers.
Grantland Rice
On the day I became Soviet leader, in March 1985, I had a special meeting with the leaders of the Warsaw Pact countries and told them: ‘You are independent, and we are independent. You are responsible for your policies, we are responsible for ours. We will not intervene in your affairs, I promise you.’
Mikhail Gorbachev
I don’t think I’ve ever worked so hard on something, but working on Macintosh was the neatest experience of my life. Almost everyone who worked on it will say that. None of us wanted to release it at the end. It was as though we knew that once it was out of our hands, it wouldn’t be ours anymore.
Steve Jobs
Ours is a world where people don’t know what they want and are willing to go through hell to get it.
Don Marquis
Through my writing, I have made new friends and continued to learn about this world of ours in all its wonder, with all its challenges.
Sonia Levitin
You start out with your eyes wide open, and you’ve got dreams, and we worked really, really hard, and ours came true. So – and we’re fortunate enough to keep putting out number one records, and we’re fortunate enough to get out there and keep playing, and we truly have a blast.
David Bryan
The right is ours. Have it we must. Use it we will.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
In large families, it seems it is hardest to be either the first or the last child. That was certainly true in ours.
Katharine Graham
It is one of the most beautiful facts in this human existence of ours, that we remember the earliest and freshest part of it most vividly. Doubtless it was meant that our childhood should live on in us forever.
Lucy Larcom
I love American English, not least because a lot of it was ours to begin with. Indeed, many Americanisms can be found in the works of William Shakespeare.
Susie Dent
Ours is a country where anything can be accomplished if enough people get angry… because, in America, we act on our collective anger.
Andrew Vachss
Sometimes black people really want to hold onto our oppression – ‘This is ours! This belongs to us.’ You can’t just talk about equality for somebody else. Let’s pass it on. Let’s pass it on to somebody else. At the end of the day, it is all about inequality.
Wanda Sykes
For this generation, ours, life is nuclear survival, liberty is human rights, the pursuit of happiness is a planet whose resources are devoted to the physical and spiritual nourishment of its inhabitants.
Jimmy Carter
When we want to have our own style of living, it is nobody’s business but ours. What we do in private is our private business.
Eartha Kitt
The pains of disconcerted or frustrated habits, and the inherent pleasure there is in following them, are motives which nature has put into our wills without generally caring to inform us why; and she sometimes decrees, indeed, that her reasons shall not be ours.
Chauncey Wright
Ours is a colourful and diversified world. It is also a complex one.
Li Peng
And yet, in a culture like ours, which is given to material comforts, and addicted to forms of entertainment that offer immediate gratification, it is surprising that so much poetry is written.
Mark Strand
It is essential for Israel’s safety and ours that we do everything we can to support our staunchest ally at all times.
Jeff Van Drew
Everyone’s opinions have to be respected. The coach has his, we have ours, the media have theirs.
Pepe
We have a right, also, in various ways, to act upon our unfavorable opinion of anyone, not to the oppression of his individuality, but in the exercise of ours.
John Stuart Mill
I am a God-fearing person. Ours is a religious family and I respect all religious gurus.
Kiku Sharda
With the Gap Band coming from Oklahoma, other artists would tease us by calling us cowboys. We didn’t grow up on a ranch, but we took that style to the stage. We knew that it was corny, but at least it was ours.
Charlie Wilson
Mothers and daughters generally have fairly complex relationships, and ours was made much more so by Mother’s illness. She had Parkinson’s disease, which was not diagnosed for a long time… All that made me very self-protective, because for one thing, I didn’t want to get trapped.
Alice Munro
Climate change is destroying our path to sustainability. Ours is a world of looming challenges and increasingly limited resources. Sustainable development offers the best chance to adjust our course.
Ban Ki-moon
Conformism is essential to the group coherence and 'spi

Conformism is essential to the group coherence and ‘spirit.’ The whole impetus behind tribalism of this kind is conservative: Belonging to the tribe is defined by opposition to other tribes. Our tribe, and its traditional ways, is superior to other tribes because it is ours.
Russell Smith
Life is ours to be spent, not to be saved.
D. H. Lawrence
The Internet offers untold potential for humanity. To make the most of it, we need to think of the Internet as ‘ours.’
Mitchell Baker
We Americans love original ideas. But truly, there are already plenty of good ones out there, ours for the taking. If I were too proud to copy the ideas of others, I likely wouldn’t have even a fraction of my current success.
Mohnish Pabrai
You write a song; you know what you want it to sound like. With a band like ours, it’s more about the collective. It’s important everyone feels expressed and represented.
Taylor Goldsmith
This life of ours, this is a wonderful life. If you can get through life like this and get away with it, hey that’s great. But it’s very predictable. There’s so many ways you can screw it up.
Paul Castellano
Reading furnishes the mind only with materials of knowledge; it is thinking that makes what we read ours.
John Locke
I got to travel to some pretty awesome places, learn other people’s customs, and see what works in their world differently than in ours.
Harris Faulkner
Ask yourself whether the dream of heaven and greatness should be waiting for us in our graves – or whether it should be ours here and now and on this earth.
Ayn Rand
The world is too much with us; late and soon, getting and spending, we lay waste our powers: Little we see in Nature that is ours.
William Wordsworth
We’re not going to be the fastest-growing or the biggest. I think there’s plenty of room for a little old sandwich shop like ours.
Jimmy John Liautaud
One of the interesting applications of symbolic systems is artificial intelligence, and I spent some time thinking about how to create a brain that operates the way ours does.
Marissa Mayer
It’s just so funny that when I was growing up, I was very much of an Australian. I just thought it was funny that there was this war, like, ‘No, she’s ours, she’s practically a Miss Australia.’ But I am a Miss Philippines.
Catriona Gray
The psychology of a complex mind must differ almost as much from that of a simple, mechanized mind as its psychology would from ours; because something that must underlie and perhaps be even greater than sex is involved.
John Desmond Bernal
Wherever we’ve travelled in this great land of ours, we’ve found that people everywhere are about 90% water.
David Letterman
You see, O Greeks! The enemy already acknowledge the country to be ours; for when they made peace with us, they stipulated that we should not burn the country belonging to the king, and now they set fire to it themselves, as if they looked upon it no longer as their own.
Xenophon
While all democratic systems are works in progress, ours started rather late and therefore has a longer distance to cover. But democratic transformation for us is not mimicking some facets of Western governance. The focus has been on building institutions of democratic governance.
Meles Zenawi
We are a country of Newton, Hodgson, and Turing. Ours is a country of ideas, invention and discovery and is truly a national history.
Rishi Sunak
Thought is a key to all treasures; the miser’s gains are ours without his cares. Thus I have soared above this world, where my enjoyment have been intellectual joys.
Honore de Balzac
When asked by an anthropologist what the Indians called America before the white man came, an Indian said simply, ‘Ours.’
Vine Deloria, Jr.
What Bob and I had was something special that God ordained. Ours was more than a husband-and-wife relationship, it was as if we had to do something for our people, to become a symbol for our time, and that feeling is still going on no matter what.
Rita Marley
Love knows how to form itself. God will do his work if we do ours. Our job is to prepare ourselves for love. When we do, love finds us every time.
Marianne Williamson
To be free in an age like ours, one must be in a position of authority. That in itself would be enough to make me ambitious.
Hannah Arendt
Before our albums are released I feel like we still own it, that we have control over our music. But once it’s out there in the world it’s no longer ours.
Chris Martin
There is one day that is ours. Thanksgiving Day is the one day that is purely American.
O. Henry
Comparing between siblings is something I don’t like and don’t do at all. I don’t believe in comparisons. We all have our own journeys and we enjoy each other’s success as much as ours.
Sonu Kakkar
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley
None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important.
Thomas Jefferson
The best thing about writing speculative fiction is the opportunity to satirize the whole wide world. The America in ‘A Better World’ isn’t ours, but it’s pretty close, so I could lampoon everything from partisan politics to the cult of celebrity to our general disaffection. To me, all that is the point.
Marcus Sakey
The primary social contract between the people of the United States and their government – quaint though it might seem to even mention it at this point – is that ours is to be a government ‘of the people, by the people, for the people.’
Marianne Williamson
A huge part of what a kid learns when they’re growing up is social and emotional development. As adults, we take it for granted that other people have emotions that are different from ours, and we can identify what they are, but those are skills that children have to learn.
Tim Schafer
Climate change is destroying our path to sustainability

Climate change is destroying our path to sustainability. Ours is a world of looming challenges and increasingly limited resources. Sustainable development offers the best chance to adjust our course.
Ban Ki-moon
Perhaps when distant people on other planets pick up some wavelength of ours all they hear is a continuous scream.
Iris Murdoch
Surprisingly, Manhattan casts a sort of undersized shadow onto Long Island. Where I grew up, everyone seemed totally disconnected from the city – ours could have been any suburb, anywhere – though when traffic was thin, it took us only half an hour to get into midtown.
Darin Strauss
Good songwriters write about what consumes their heart, and ours is about our relationship with God.
Bart Millard
Ours is the most precarious work, as you are in one place today, and tomorrow you are in another.
Antonio Conte
It is understanding that gives us an ability to have peace. When we understand the other fellow’s viewpoint, and he understands ours, then we can sit down and work out our differences.
Harry S Truman
If the Starbucks secret is a smile when you get your latte… ours is that the Web site adapts to the individual’s taste.
Reed Hastings
The day is not far distant when three Stars and Stripes at three equidistant points will mark our territory: one at the North Pole, another at the Panama Canal, and the third at the South Pole. The whole hemisphere will be ours in fact as, by virtue of our superiority of race, it already is ours morally.
William Howard Taft
Ours was not always a nation of homeowners; the New Deal fashioned it so, particularly through the G.I. Bill of Rights.
Matthew Desmond
Just about every town in Texas has a beauty pageant. Ours was called The Dogwood Fiesta. I was in one of those. I played the guitar and sang – and lost.
Sissy Spacek
In this world of ours, every believer must be a spark of light, a center of love, a vivifying ferment for the mass; and it will be that all the more as, in the depths of his being, he lives in communion with God.
Pope John XXIII
It was not the president’s responsibility to run a law enforcement operation. It was ours.
Janet Reno
In this miraculous, beautiful universe of ours, where it’s an absolute miracle that our eyes and ears can witness it all, we somehow have bought into this lie that the highest plane of existence is whether we put an R or a D on our voter registration card. That’s insanity.
Dustin Lance Black
And ours is a business that requires discipline and focus.
Jim Cantalupo
Estonia maintains a two-language school system. I don’t know many countries in the world that provide a system like ours. We are making sure that our Russian-speaking minority feels comfortable and involved in this country.
Kersti Kaljulaid
In democratic republics such as ours, citizens rely on public criticism of ideas and people to determine national policy.
Michael J. Knowles
Sensible and responsible women do not want to vote. The relative positions to be assumed by man and woman in the working out of our civilization were assigned long ago by a higher intelligence than ours.
Grover Cleveland
This world of ours… must avoid becoming a community of dreadful fear and hate, and be, instead, a proud confederation of mutual trust and respect.
Dwight D. Eisenhower
It matters enormously to a successful democratic society like ours that we have three branches of government, each with some independence and some control over the other two. That’s set out in the Constitution.
Sandra Day O’Connor
We should have hope because we’ve earned it. We’ve worked for it! It’s ours.
Maxine Waters
Europe is scooters. Europe is five young people on one bench sharing a chocolate bar. Their idea of entertainment and fun is so much different than ours, which is exactly why a movie about them would be funny.
Mike Myers
We lived in a tall, narrow Victorian house, which my parents had bought very cheaply during the war, when everyone thought London was going to be bombed flat. In fact, a V-2 rocket landed a few houses away from ours. I was away with my mother and sister at the time, but my father was in the house.
Stephen Hawking
Ours is a country with diversified culture and centuries-old tradition, which have to be preserved at any cost.
P. T. Usha
The Vikings themselves are fascinating creatures. They’re human beings, of course, but their ethos are so different from ours. The fact that they live as warriors – their willingness to die for the sake of what they believe in – is quite shocking to us, and it’s fascinating to see.
Linus Roache
From the first time that I went over to China, I think I was around the age of 17, 18, and just going there and seeing that their technology being years ahead of ours in America, it sparked something with me back then.
Soulja Boy
All gods are homemade, and it is we who pull their strings, and so, give them the power to pull ours.
Aldous Huxley
We were really going with what worked at Stanford. It was difficult for players to ‘D’ me up in the post, so that was a strength of ours and we just pounded it in the block.
Brook Lopez
Sometimes our partners from other countries ask us why we have not got further with our reconciliation, as if we possess a magic to just get rid of this tragic history of ours.
Paul Kagame
Ours is a divine journey; therefore, this journey has neither a beginning nor an end… This journey has a goal, but it does not stop at any goal, for it has come to realise that today’s goal is only the starting point of tomorrow’s journey.
Sri Chinmoy
We’re not going to meddle in the internal life of other peoples and other governments, because we don’t want them meddling in ours.
Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador
Being a woman in control of a company – even a small private company, as ours was then – was so singular and surprising in those days that I necessarily stood out. In 1963, and for the first several years of my working life, my situation was certainly unique.
Katharine Graham
We bequeath to you, the next generation, our knowledge

We bequeath to you, the next generation, our knowledge but also our problems. While we still live, let us join hands, hearts and minds to work together for their solution so that your world will be better than ours and the world of your children even better.
Rosalyn Sussman Yalow
It’s important to us to see the development and growth. At the end of the day, it’s our baby. Genetically it’s ours. It’s our embryo. We feel very connected.
Bill Rancic
Everything is real. It is one of our golden rules for the show. We won’t do it otherwise because the show is built around real reaction, ours included.
Sal Vulcano
All families have lies and secrets, I don’t mind sharing ours.
Shakin’ Stevens
We live in a disposable, ‘cast-off and throw-away’ society that has largely lost any real sense of permanence. Ours is a world of expiration dates, limited shelf life, and planned obsolescence. Nothing is absolute.
Myles Munroe
My favorite song of ours has to be ‘Feel Special.’ It was a little different than our bright songs that talk about love and general happy things, but we thought the song had a special message.
Nayeon
In this sad world of ours, sorrow comes to all; and to the young, it comes with bitterest agony because it takes them unawares. I have had experience enough to know what I say.
Abraham Lincoln
It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.
William Ellery Channing
The Sekrets record is very much me, and Dan’s Emergency Room is very much him. And then Alkaline Trio is very much ours.
Matt Skiba
The successful companies try to keep the new entrants down. Now that’s great for a company like ours. We make more money that way because we have less competition and less innovation. But for the country as a whole, it’s horrible.
Charles Koch
There is no reason why a nation as rich as ours should be blighted by poverty, disease, and illiteracy.
Coretta Scott King
The unpredictability of the weather, the increasing possibility of intelligence introducing a species more powerful than ours, the growing uncertainty that animals can or should be slaughtered for our pleasure, has led many of us to start asking more complex questions about what is and isn’t normal.
Michaela Coel
Ours is a fully democratic government, which in our language we call a people’s government.
Mustafa Kemal Ataturk
People who have given us their complete confidence believe that they have a right to ours. The inference is false, a gift confers no rights.
Friedrich Nietzsche
I believe that what we are fighting here is not just a small group of people who have hijacked a religion, but it is a civilization bent on destroying ours.
Tom Tancredo
‘Il faut vivre’ might almost be the French national motto from 1940 to June 1944, but who is to say ours would have been any different if the Germans had paraded victoriously through London and Generalfeldmarschall Von Runstedt made his headquarters at Claridge’s?
Michael Korda
But ya have to make videos in the States. Usually ours just look too serious. We haven’t got it together.
Evan Dando
We are not permitted to choose the frame of our destiny. But what we put into it is ours.
Dag Hammarskjold
Much to Mr. Obama’s chagrin, ours is not a government run by fiat. The American people have shown quite clearly that they will not simply roll over while this administration seeks to undercut our founding principles in pursuit of its preferred European model of government.
Trent Franks
Ours has been as good and enduring a marriage as so many marriages that have survived the ups and downs for four decades.
Saira Banu
There are thus great swathes of the past where understanding is more important and reputable than judgement, because the principal actors performed in line with the ideas and values of that time, not of ours.
Douglas Hurd
Tim Miller is a very good friend of ours. We’d love to see ‘Deadpool’ jump into the MCU.
Joe Russo
Obama/Romney, Romney/Obama – the most important election of our lifetime? Fact is they’re all the same – bought and paid for with the same money. Ours is a country of the SuperPAC, by the SuperPAC, and for the SuperPAC.
Bill Gross
If we continue to allow the federal government to live beyond its means, we will all soon have to live beneath ours.
Joe Miller
I won’t say ours was a tough school, but we had our own coroner. We used to write essays like: What I’m going to be if I grow up.
Lenny Bruce
All sports have a zone, but ours is at 95 mph. You can feel the speed; you can feel the wind. It’s the most euphoric thing I’ve ever done.
Elana Meyers
The right is ours. Have it we must. Use it we will.
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
I believe companies like ours are going to be as large as media companies and social networking companies that are valued in the tens of billions of dollars.
David Baszucki
To her audience, Janis Joplin has remained a symbol, artifact and reminder of late Sixties youth culture. Her popularity never derived from her musical ability, but from her capacity to link her fantasies of freedom and immortality with ours.
Jon Landau
I wouldn’t have expected an audience of ours to burn down our equipment.
Paul Kantner
Insurgents throughout Iraq continue to threaten our efforts and pose a danger to stability in the region. They fight not for their country, but rather against ours.
Paul Gillmor
A Pike, in the California dialect, is a native of Misso

A Pike, in the California dialect, is a native of Missouri, Arkansas, Northern Texas, or Southern Illinois. The first emigrants that came over the plains were from Pike County, Missouri; but as the phrase, ‘a Pike County man,’ was altogether too long for this short life of ours, it was soon abbreviated into ‘a Pike.’
Bayard Taylor
For me, there was nothing like my time with the Eagles – ever. We were young, and the world was new to us. It was the happiest time of our lives. They wouldn’t let us play in their big leagues, but we had this game of ours… this marvelous, blessed game… and we just went out and played it.
Monte Irvin
Once upon a time the world was sweeter than we knew. Everything was ours; how happy we were then, but then once upon a time never comes again.
Johnny Mercer
It became plain very soon after our marriage that ours was to be a literary partnership.
Mary Augusta Ward
For a country like ours that needs to stay ahead of the world or go under, we must do great, ambitious things – like going to the moon – to survive.
Homer Hickam
Growing up in Malaysia, there wasn’t really a problem with representation. We saw faces like ours on screen because Malaysia, Thailand, Singapore, China and Hong Kong all have their own film markets. It was only until I went back to the U.K. when I realized, ‘Where did all these faces go?’
Henry Golding
Only in a nation like ours could someone like me, the scrappy son of a simple carpenter, grow up to become a simple senator.
Orrin Hatch
The men and women on the front lines of the war on terror continue to risk their lives to save ours – and for that we owe them a debt that we can never truly repay. Thanks to their efforts we have made tremendous progress. Yet, the job is not done.
Doc Hastings
The Resurrection miracle is nothing to you and me if it is only an event of eighteen centuries bygone. Unless we can live the immortal life – unless we can receive God to his own home in these hearts of ours – the texts are nothing to us unless these daily lives illustrate them.
Edward Everett Hale
Technology has changed things, same as everywhere. But the economy has changed drastically. When Jamaica first won independence, our dollar was stronger than the U.S. dollar. Now ours is about 90 to one. That’s had a big impact on crime and poverty.
Damian Marley
The difference between our decadence and the Russians’ is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.
James Thurber
When I was a kid, I watched a lot of ‘Twilight Zone.’ My mother was obsessed with the show, as it was a staple of her childhood – and thus she made it one of ours, too.
Kameron Hurley
I joined an improv comedy group. Ours was named ‘Quick Fire!’ with an exclamation point. It was when I auditioned for that team and got on it and felt like… I’ll just say I felt like I was good at it.
Ellie Kemper
There is nothing so striking to the eye on a return to England from the Continent as the stateliness of our trees. I do not know of any trees in Europe to compare with ours.
Sabine Baring-Gould
At Stanford, it was a little bit difficult for players to ‘D’ me up in the post, so that was a strength of ours. We just pounded it in the block. But I really feel I could play both the 4 or 5 position.
Brook Lopez
AI is a tool. The choice about how it gets deployed is ours.
Oren Etzioni
Very early in life, it seemed to me that there was a relationship between the problems of the Negro people in America and the Jewish people in Russia, and that the Jewish people’s problems were worse than ours.
Langston Hughes
You’ll be in the checkout line at the supermarket, and there will be one of our movies in between the Certs and ‘The National Enquirer.’ That’s where some of ours end up.
Robert Ben Garant
The problem is that too many adults think their kids’ lives are simple, or they try to make their lives simple, when their emotional lives are just as complicated as ours. They might have a few less tools to deal with it because they’re young, but the emotions are all the same, and the subject matter is all the same.
Sherman Alexie
New York is celebrated as a leader in our nation’s quest for progress because ours is a city built by the labor of a thousand different shades and accents.
Letitia James
I have been given a list of 35 white farmers in Mashonaland West alone. We say no to whites owning our land, and they should go… They can own companies and apartments… but not the soil. It is ours, and that message should ring loud and clear in Britain and the United States.
Robert Mugabe
None but an armed nation can dispense with a standing army. To keep ours armed and disciplined is therefore at all times important.
Thomas Jefferson
For two decades the state has been taking liberties, and these liberties were once ours.
E. P. Thompson
We will continue to pursue anybody who violates our franchise covenants, trade agreements, or anything, for that matter, that is ours.
Jimmy John Liautaud
Building a sports power is a patriotic undertaking aimed at translating into reality the plan and wish of the great leaders, who devoted their efforts to building ours into a country that prospers and grows stronger on the strength of sports.
Kim Jong-un
Ours is a multi-religious country, a multi-lingual country; we have many different modes of worship. We believe in peaceful and harmonious co-existence.
Atal Bihari Vajpayee
The fact is that ours is the first generation that can look disease and extreme poverty in the eye, look across the ocean to Africa, and say this, and mean it. We do not have to stand for this. A whole continent written off – we do not have to stand for this.
Bono
It is of the greatest importance that people and governments in many more countries than ours should realize that it is more dangerous to have access to nuclear arms than not to possess them.
Alva Myrdal
Ours is the only country deliberately founded on a good idea.
John Gunther
It is axiomatic that the Cross we get is the one we most dislike: we would choose any other. But it is equally true that the Cross which is ours is the one Christ wants us to bear.
Basil Hume
I’m a fun-loving guy. We are basically from Amritsar and ours is a chilled-out family. I think I have got my humour from my mother.
Kapil Sharma
I won't say ours was a tough school, but we had our own

I won’t say ours was a tough school, but we had our own coroner. We used to write essays like: What I’m going to be if I grow up.
Lenny Bruce
For an international business such as ours, you can’t localise without a local. That was a hard lesson for us. We had to be closer, physically present, which is when we put teams on the ground.
Joe Gebbia
AI is a tool. The choice about how it gets deployed is ours.
Oren Etzioni
Rich cultures, patriarchal cultures, value thin women, like ours; poor ones value fat women. But all patriarchal cultures value weak women. So for women to become physically strong is very profound.
Gloria Steinem
We’re too often told that our mistakes are ours alone, but victory is a shared benefit.
Stacey Abrams
Whatever I talk about onstage is just my story. My fan base is broad… We all have the same mom; it’s just that ours has an accent.
Jo Koy
Research such as ours is driven by the human imperative to understand where we are. It motivates the study of our positions in family, or in society, or on earth. The results may be termed geology, or sociology, or poetry.
Jim Peebles
Glossier – our content, our products – it’s for all for you; it’s ours.
Emily Weiss
We are the only class in history that has been left to fight its battles alone, unaided by the ruling powers. White labor and the freed black men had their champions, but where are ours?
Elizabeth Cady Stanton
We live in a disposable, ‘cast-off and throw-away’ society that has largely lost any real sense of permanence. Ours is a world of expiration dates, limited shelf life, and planned obsolescence. Nothing is absolute.
Myles Munroe
In a pluralistic society like ours, I think the ability to resist hate comes from cultivating a civil society that, on the one hand, nurtures the freedom of each group to pursue their faith and distinctive way of life, while, at the same time, fostering the ties that bind us together into a genuine broader community.
William Barr
Other people pull off amazing festivals and events and things like that. I think ours is a little bit different, and that’s what makes us distinct.
Zac Brown
We all have our problems and we are working to find a solution to ours and also to help the eurozone. We expect that other countries should do the same, that they be prudent in their statements.
Mariano Rajoy
It is chiefly through books that we enjoy intercourse with superior minds. In the best books, great men talk to us, give us their most precious thoughts, and pour their souls into ours.
William Ellery Channing
The difference between our decadence and the Russians’ is that while theirs is brutal, ours is apathetic.
James Thurber
Oh, this base heart of ours! Hath it not enough tinder in it to set on fire the course of nature? If a spark do but fall into it, any one of our members left to itself would dishonour Christ, deny the Lord that bought us, and turn back into perdition.
Charles Spurgeon
I want people to see that the cosmic perspective is simultaneously honest about the universe we live in and uplifting, when we realize how far we have come and how wonderful is this world of ours.
Neil deGrasse Tyson
It simply feels right to me to blend the glittery delights of New York City with a largely raw vegan diet – with the soul-deep conviction that animals are not ours to eat, wear, exploit or experiment on.
Victoria Moran
It’s not just in The Bronx or in the ghettos or even just America. It’s worldwide. Who knows, it could be some aliens on Mars listening to hip-hop, you know what I mean? So it’s really, really transformed from this little thing of ours to a thing for everyone.
Fabolous
What differentiates us from animals is the fact that we can listen to other people’s dreams, fears, joys, sorrows, desires and defeats – and they in turn can listen to ours.
Henning Mankell
I was told to challenge every spiritual teacher, every world leader to utter the one sentence that no religion, no political party, and no nation on the face of the earth will dare utter: ‘Ours is not a better way, ours is merely another way.
Neale Donald Walsch
Judaism is the best basis for democracy. The debate between the House of Hillel and the House of Shammai, the constant debate, has been a tradition of ours for thousands of years.
Benny Gantz
