As kids, my mom would always let us help bake, and if we behaved, we got to lick the beaters clean.
I worked night and day for twelve years to prevent the war, but I could not. The North was mad and blind, would not let us govern ourselves, and so the war came.
I liked the idea of being a father, to have a child, and finally Francesca arrived, and now the house is insane because she cries all day, and at night, she doesn’t let us sleep.
Let us take refuge from this world. You can do this in spirit, even if you are kept here in the body. You can at the same time be here and present to the Lord. Your soul must hold fast to him, you must follow after him in your thoughts, you must tread his ways by faith, not in outward show.
Let us have no machine-made ornament at all; it is all bad and worthless and ugly.
If we are not our brother’s keeper, at least let us not be his executioner.
Let us not deceive ourselves; we must elect world peace or world destruction.
If you asked a Singaporean, on the one hand they’ll say, ‘Let us do our own things.’ On the other hand, when an issue comes out, they’ll ask, ‘What is the government doing about it?’
I am so lucky to have really good parents. They didn’t hesitate to let us go to L.A. They didn’t hesitate, because they knew that they raised their kids the right way: to be able to live by themselves and not get caught up by L.A.
God gave us faculties for our use; each of them will receive its proper reward. Then do not let us try to charm them to sleep, but permit them to do their work until divinely called to something higher.
Our differences are what make us great. Let us think about how we can extend this appreciation to people of color, undocumented immigrants, and other members of the community.

The truth of the matter is that countries the world over have deficits. Let us remember this about Scotland’s deficit: it was not created in an independent Scotland; it was created on Westminster’s watch.
Whatever is referred to must exist. Let us call this the axiom of existence.
Sometimes officials should look at English football and let us play more. I like their system because, in Europe, their referees are more lenient.
Let us go forward in this battle fortified by conviction that those who labour in the service of a great and good cause will never fail.
The only trouble here is they won’t let us study enough. They are so afraid we shall break down and you know the reputation of the College is at stake, for the question is, can girls get a college degree without ruining their health?
I wish they’d shut the gates, and let us play ball with no press and no fans.
My mom really let us do our own thing and play with different trends, and my sister was a little older, so she had all the beauty tricks. I would stuff things like rolled-up toilet paper into my hair to get volume, or do the reverse, and I’d lie on my back, and she’d use an actual iron to straighten it.
Let us not, in the eagerness of our haste to educate, forget all the ends of education.
Let us not curse the darkness. Let us kindle little lights.
Women in sports television are allowed to read headlines, patrols sidelines, and generally facilitate conversation for their male colleagues. Sometimes, they even let us monitor the Internet from a couch.
It is convenient that there be gods, and, as it is convenient, let us believe there are.
The Chinese began with the assumption that the group is the fundamental unit of reality. Individuals? Sure, we can factor them out from their groups, but let us not think that they as individuals have any viability apart from their group.
Let us not alter our course simply because it leads into a dark thicket of work.
Let us endeavor so to live so that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.
Time and space always change, but there is something which is eternal and changeless. For example, the world and time, past or future, nothing exists for us in sleep. But we exist. Let us try to find out that which is changeless and which always exists.
When we were kids, our parents would let us play outside all day, and there was a horse-drawn milk wagon that could become anything in my mind, like a spaceship or something.
Let us democratise knowledge. Let us universalise justice. Together, let us globalise compassion!
Madam, I have been looking for a person who disliked gravy all my life; let us swear eternal friendship.
As for September 11, let us not too easily grant the Americans possession of that date on the calendar. Like May 1 or July 14 or December 25, September 11 may seem full of significance to some people, while to other people it is just another day.
LET us honour the King by cherishing respectful Sentiments concerning him; speaking of him with Affection, with Esteem and Reverence; and by promoting a like Spirit and Conduct in others.
Let it be our delight to find our society in the circle of which Jesus is the center, and let us make those our friends who are the friends of Jesus.
It is high time we found out about this man Cummings. Let us give him every opportunity to show us at once whether he is a genius, a charlatan, or a congenital defective – and get him off our minds.
Nourish beginnings, let us nourish beginnings. Not all things are blest, but the seeds of all things are blest. The blessing is in the seed.
Let us eat and drink neither forgetting death unduly nor remembering it. The Lord hath mercy on whom he will have mercy, etc., and the less we think about it the better.
Let us hope, that a kind Providence will put a speedy end to the acts of God under which we have been laboring.
We didn’t have parents who let us get away with anything. We grew up here with privilege, and we never got a D.U.I., we never went to rehab, we never got pregnant.
Let us remind ourselves that if we are to be our Lord’s disciples, we must take up his Cross and follow him.
The early cyberpunk idea was that networked computers would let us do our work at home, as freelancers, and then transact directly with peers over networks. Digital technology would create tremendous slack, allow us to apply its asynchronous, decentralized qualities to our own work and lives.
Netflix is amazing ’cause they trust the creator to do their job, and they trust us to do our job. They’re really smart and just let us do our thing and deliver a great job.
Let us not pray to be sheltered from dangers but to be fearless when facing them.
Let us rise in the moral power of womanhood; and give utterance to the voice of outraged mercy, and insulted justice, and eternal truth, and mighty love and holy freedom.
Nickelodeon came to us at the end of 2009 with a twelve episode ‘mini-season’ already green-lit for a new series. They let us do pretty much whatever we wanted with it, as long as it was in the ‘Avatar’ universe and featured bending.
Let us not depreciate Earth. There is no atom in it but is alive and astir in the all-penetrating splendor of God. From the infinitesimal to the infinite, everything is striving to express the thought of His Presence with which it overflows.
Let us assume that the ideal were reached; let us imagine a state of international life in which the danger of war no longer exists. Then no one would dare to demand a penny for obviously completely superfluous armaments.
Fortunately, something always remains to be harvested. So let us not be idle.
I would have the Constitution torn in shreds and scattered to the four winds of heaven. Let us destroy the Constitution and build on its ruins the temple of liberty. I have brothers in slavery. I have seen chains placed on their limbs and beheld them captive.
War is the remedy that our enemies have chosen, and I say let us give them all they want.
In every generation, politicians let us down, but music can lift us above the fighting and the mistakes. It does not offer answers to specific political questions. Instead, it looks beyond them.
It is a sad commentary that today we face a choice between having schools that are a monument to our past – or schools that will be the lifeblood of our future. But since that is our choice, let us resolve to choose wisely.
The future is in our power. Let us, then, each morning, resolve to send the day into eternity in such a garb as we shall wish it to wear forever. And at night, let us reflect that one more day is irrevocably gone, indelibly marked.
So long as the laws remain such as they are today, employ some discretion: loud opinion forces us to do so; but in privacy and silence let us compensate ourselves for that cruel chastity we are obliged to display in public.
