My chief identity, to my mind, was not ‘writer’ but ‘college dropout.’
It is not materialism that is the chief curse of the world, as pastors teach, but idealism. Men get into trouble by taking their visions and hallucinations too seriously.
Everything in nature has its own intrinsic charm, as the work of its Creator’s hand; but the chief beauty of the whole lies in its suggested relations to humanity. Things announce and wait for persons. The house would not have been thus beautifully built and furnished, except for an expected tenant.
The death of chief justice Rehnquist and the president’s nomination of John Roberts raises the stakes for the court and the American people exponentially.
I have completed 43 years in politics and have been a minister of state, chief minister, and a Cabinet minister. A person who survives so many years is bound to face some attacks. It doesn’t affect me because I know the truth.

In years of interviewing presidents, prime ministers and chief executives all over the world, I can remember only a handful of times in which a leader has said: ‘I don’t know’ in answer to a question. Perhaps everyone I have ever interviewed knows everything about everything, but I doubt it.
Dad played with me a great deal, as dads should do, and our chief sport was baseball. He bought me a hardball when I was three years old, and he used to sit in a rocker on the front porch while I sat on the grass in the yard, and we’d play catch by the hour.
The first song I did was over a Chief Keef beat – ‘Understand Me.’ I did that in, like, 2011 or 2012, I think.
Here is the operating motto of the Obama White House: ‘So let it be written, so let it be done!’ Like Yul Brynner’s Pharaoh Ramses character in Cecil B. DeMille’s ‘The Ten Commandments,’ the demander in chief stands with arms akimbo issuing daily edicts to his constitution-subverting minions.
The chief modern rival of Christianity is ‘liberalism’… at every point, the two movements are in direct opposition.
The chief strategist of an organization has to be the leader – the CEO.
I was the understudy to the understudy in a year-two production of ‘Big Chief Red Feather.’ The boy who had the lead broke his arm, and then the understudy got chicken pox. And I loved it. I got to wear the most feathers in my headdress.
My mother is a teacher, and my father is a chief marine engineer.
As marriage and the family institution constitute the foundation and chief cornerstone of civil society, it is of the greatest moment that the marriage-tie should never be dissolved save for the most urgent reason. I cannot assent, however, to the doctrine that it should never be dissolved at all.
It is not often that one of the world’s best entrepreneurs rings you up and says ‘I’ve got this business we are about to float off as an independent company and we’d like you to be chief executive.’
There was a point in time, when I put out the Chief Keef diss, where I was so hot that everybody was calling my phone. But I decided to go set up under Wale, but he wasn’t really teaching me how to rap.
Books, like proverbs, receive their chief value from the stamp and esteem of ages through which they passed.
The salary of the chief executive of a large corporation is not a market award for achievement. It is frequently in the nature of a warm personal gesture by the individual to himself.
When we wrote the Constitution, the intention was to give the commander in chief the authority how to use the forces when you authorize him to be able to use the forces.
I think the association of economics with forecasting is unfortunate and is down to the fact that one great way to get an investment bank’s name on business television is to hire a guy called a Chief Economist who will go and prognosticate.
I am not going to quit politics until I fulfill the promise made to Balasaheb of making a Shiv Sainik the chief minister of Maharashtra. I will do it.
Whether the origin of ‘A Course In Miracles’ is diabolical or merely psychological, the book proclaimed an anti-gospel of unreality and bred a cult of self-satisfaction for which Marianne Williamson has served as chief apostle.
I concluded that Donald Trump lacked the temperament, the judgment and the self-discipline to heal the divisions in our country – which are very real – and to be commander in chief.

The chief concern of the French Impressionists was the discovery of balance between light and dark.
We have grown used to money. The handling, the increase of it, is the chief business of life now with most of us.
A city is where you can sign a petition, boo the chief justice, fish off a pier, gaze at a hippopotamus, buy a flower at the corner, or get a good hamburger or a bad girl at 4 A.M. A city is where sirens make white streaks of sound in the sky and foghorns speak in dark grays. San Francisco is such a city.
When you’re a Chicago artist, to play Lollapalooza, that’s not a normal thing. It’s artists on a path to a certain place that do that. Chief Keef did it; Kids These Days did it; Cool Kids did it. And I’m the next Cool-Kids-Chief, if you will.
All the principal people in the town are concerned in the slave trade, and their chief wealth consists in the number of slaves they possess; therefore there is little chance of the trade being, for many years, totally abolished.
I am who I am. I have a low voice, and I look like somebody’s dad or boss or a police chief, and those roles come my way.
Among the New Hollanders whom we were thus engaged with, there was one who by his appearance and carriage, as well in the morning as this afternoon, seemed to be the chief of them, and a kind of prince or captain among them.

In 1978, when I was a non-Congress chief minister, we distributed surplus wheat among labourers. Later, when we visited a village, I asked a labourer whether he knew who sent the wheat. ‘Yes, Indiraji – only Indiraji helps the poor.’ Indiraji was a symbol for the weaker sections.
I the chief of sinners am, but Jesus died for me.
I was absolutely a non-starter at games. My report for rugby said, ‘Nigel’s chief contribution is his presence on the field.’ I used to pray for rain and sometimes it did rain – and we played anyway.
Believe it or not, some Western analysts in the 1930s insisted that Stalin was a ‘moderate,’ controlled by extremists like the secret police chief Nikolai Yezhov.
I was the chairman of the House Budget Committee and one of the chief architects the last time we balanced a budget, and it was the first time we had done it since man walked on the moon. We had a $5 trillion surplus and we cut taxes.
I don’t believe the government should determine what a woman does in this area any more than it should tell a chief executive how to run a company. Personal and family matters, relationships between doctors and patients should not be within the purview of government.
The police chief of Hiroshima welcomed me eagerly as the first Allied correspondent to reach the city.
When I was a grad student at MIT, I had a chance to become friends with the Viking Mission’s chief scientist, Dr. Gerald Soffen. Viking was the first Mars lander looking for signs of life on Mars.
Strangely enough, politics may just be the one realm in which having kids imposes no penalty on women. Kids are practically a necessity. For scientists, or Supreme Court justices, or chief executives, or the woman who wants to learn to fly F-l8s off an aircraft carrier, it works differently.
The Chief Whip’s job is trying to make sure that the Government – and MPs elected as part of the governing party – deliver the promises that they were elected on. That’s a healthy part of the democratic process.
