I learned during my term and in the presidency that we should not discuss about assumptions or insinuations. If one day I have to do something against the U.S., the first one to get to know what I was going to do would be the president of the U.S.
Consciousness rap – a term that I don’t think exactly exists but gets thrown around a lot – is not exactly popular.
I think sometimes if you are too interested in day-to-day politics, you lose sight of the long term.
In the first State of the Union of his second term, President Bush made clear to Americans tonight that he is not going to play the role of a lame duck President.
New Age is a very small box. It was a term that was brought in by the music industry to classify music that is neither jazz, classical, pop or rock. They didn’t know what to call it or what to do with it. So they threw it all together under this one name.
Were I called on to define, very briefly, the term Art, I should call it ‘the reproduction of what the Senses perceive in Nature through the veil of the soul.’ The mere imitation, however accurate, of what is in Nature, entitles no man to the sacred name of ‘Artist.’
That’s a term that I really like – ‘permissionless innovation’ – because anybody who has an idea and has a solution can tap into or can leverage the Bitcoin blockchain.
The New York Dolls did not think of themselves as punk rock. There was no such term at the time. They were just another band in what was called the New York scene.
Britain is not in the single currency, and we’re not going to be. But we all need the eurozone to have the right governance and structures to secure a successful currency for the long term.
When I hear a guy lost a battle to cancer, that really did bother me, that that’s a term. It implies that he failed and that somebody else that defeated cancer is heroic and courageous.
Over the long term, we should develop and implement new technologies to capture and store coal’s carbon emissions. We also must make our electric grid more resilient.
Socialism is practical, in the best sense of the term; a living, vital force of inestimable value to society.
There are some musicians who are talented and see themselves as some kind of natural geniuses or something because of a certain amount of natural ability. But that is often rarely the case over the long term.
I find it incredible and outrageous that public and school libraries are being forced to close – we’ll all pay the price in the long term.
Today I am announcing that I will not seek a tenth term in the United States Congress this November.
I’ve actually always been interested in following a character more long term, but the only place to really do that as an actor is on a TV series.
I find the whole Blairish idea more and more repugnant every day. ‘New Labour’: the term itself is so trashy. Kind of ersatz.
Long term I do believe internationally there is a huge misunderstanding of Russia.
Love it or hate it, Obamacare is the law of the land. It was passed by Congress, signed into law by President Obama, declared constitutional by the U.S. Supreme Court and ratified by a majority of Americans, who reelected the president for a second term.
I want to take a long-term view. Being distracted by short term things can be dangerous when you are making cold, calm, long-term decisions.
Having dealt with a lot of real firefighters, I know there are a lot of guys who, for lack of a better term, become addicted to the grief because it has kept them connected to these guys that they felt responsible for having lost.
Feminism is a word that I identify with. The term has become synonymous with vitriolic man-hating but it needs to come back to a place where both men and women can embrace it. It is particularly important for women in developing countries.
I’m a multi-tasker. I was down with that stuff before they invented the term.
Then in 1969, I spent the spring term at Cornell University in New York. The invasion of August 1968 had already happened, but the hardline regime took several months to crack down on dissidents.
Health care reform, the marquee legislative accomplishment of the Obama administration’s first term, was passed before we entered the world of divided government.
‘Mad’ is a term we use to describe a man who is obsessed with one idea and nothing else.
I take things on a day to day basis when it gets really hectic. But I do think long term and I’m looking forward to the next couple of years when I do start producing my own films with my production company and playing some characters that are older and that’s really exciting to me.
Even low-calorie diets and vigorous exercise fail to work in the long term for at least some people.
I know not everyone starts out reading high literature. If you read enough you might be drawn to some other things, so maybe those vampire books are what they call ‘gateway books.’ I just coined that term. I don’t know if there’s a thing called ‘gateway books.’
When I met Jack Kennedy, he was a serious young man with a dream. He was not a womanizer, not as I understood the term.
In the U.S., the term ‘general aviation’ means its exact opposite, the way ‘public school’ does in England. An English public school is private and, on top of that, exclusive. Likewise, general-aviation airports in the U.S. are for everyone but the general public.
The term ‘hero’ irritates me greatly.
I will make the final decision on running for governor after my congressional term ends.
The word inventors have to create a new term to describe how I felt when I learned that ‘Refund’ was on the shortlist for the Frank O’Connor International Story prize – Excited, thrilled, honored, none of them quite do it.
I hate the term ‘arm candy.’ But, look, a woman’s figure is a beautiful thing, and if she has shapely legs, then she should show them off, because men love to see that. Not just heterosexual men – gay men like to see a woman in her beauty and the shape of her.
I love what I do. And in the true sense, from my training, I try to create a character each time. It is something I do. But I don’t want that term to limit what I can do. I prefer people to say to me, ‘You’re one of my favorite actors,’ rather than ‘You’re one of my favorite character actors.’ It sounds like a slam.
The period that directly follows the dissolution of a long term relationship is extremely volatile, with emotions running the gamut from misery to elation to relief to terror.
In a system where the cost of care is hidden by taxes levied on your income, property, and business activities, it is no wonder why so many Americans rely on Medicaid to pay their long term care.
I love Italian food but that’s too generic a term for what’s available now: you have to narrow it down to Tuscan, Sicilian, and so on.
We really love all sports, but we don’t think in the long term. The reason we did Kingpin was because there was a script we really liked and we saw the possibilities.
Unprecedented’ is the term I’ve heard most commonly to describe the COVID-19 pandemic. As for me, I would describe it as a storm at sea. Lengthy and ferocious. Uncontrollable. Frightening. All-pervading.
Whatever life may really be, it is to us an abstraction: for the word is a generalised term to signify that which is common to all animals and plants, and which is not directly operative in the inorganic world.
I’m not even sure I want to use the term ‘coming out.’
But I think the global economy will understand that the United States has the ability to meet its obligations. But it’s not going to be able to do it over the long term if we can’t control the growth of government.
The long term versus the short term argument is one used by losers.
I didn’t intend to be an actress. It was one of many things I was interested in, and it just took off. I was an actress between the ages of 18 and 22, and it was a wonderful, fun thing to do, but it wasn’t what I intended long term. I parked acting a long time ago.
The term ‘meritocracy’ was coined by socialist theoretician Michael Young, who crafted the party’s 1945 election manifesto.
‘Fair’ is, like, this incredibly overused term in negotiations: ‘I just want what’s fair.’ ‘What’s the fair market price?’
I think it’s pretty important that you learn how to keep your own scoreboard and how to be focused on what truly matters over the long term.
I don’t know if the term ‘liberation theology,’ which can be interpreted in a very positive sense, will help us much. What’s important is the common rationality to which the church offers a fundamental contribution, and which must always help in the education of conscience, both for public and for private life.
‘Black film,’ that term allows studios to just marginalize a movie and say, ‘We’ve made our black film. We’ve made our film with people of color in it,’ as opposed to, ‘I just feel like people of color should be in every genre.’
Four years of Jimmy Carter gave us two titanic Reagan landslides, peace and prosperity for eight blessed years – and even a third term for his feckless vice president, George H.W. Bush.
In certain European cuisines, vegetables are cooked a long time. I take the term ‘al dente’ and use it for vegetables.
In Europe, you are taught to keep the ball out of the net any way possible. That’s why Germany and Spain have the best goalkeepers in the world. They give young goalkeepers a chance and accept they are going to make mistakes. Long term, that will reap huge rewards.
