Meanwhile, blacks observed how German prisoners housed at Camp Gordon were getting paid to work the grounds of the Augusta National Golf Club, and to pick peanuts, corn, and potatoes across the Savannah River. "They sing and whistle, seem to enjoy work," enthused the Augusta Chronicle. "Farmers are delighted." Such news stories left a bitter taste in the mouths of black Augustans, who felt the government was doing more for the enemy than it was willing to do for them. ~ RJ Smith
Augusta National quotes by RJ Smith
Augusta National is a young man's golf course, and you really need a young man's nerves to play on it. ~ Jack Nicklaus
Augusta National quotes by Jack Nicklaus
Oakmont is probably the premier - Oakmont and Augusta National are probably the top two set of greens in the country. ~ Jack Nicklaus
Augusta National quotes by Jack Nicklaus
If we had to play Augusta National in one hour, the best athlete would win the Masters. But as it is, they give us time to hang ourselves. Every swing is a 'thought shot'. So instead of the best athlete, you end up with the best thinker as the winner. ~ Joe Inman
Augusta National quotes by Joe Inman
I hadn't thought that women were particularly dangerous golfers. Could that be the reason that the Augusta National Golf club refuses to take down its 'No Women Allowed' sign? ~ Madeleine M. Kunin
Augusta National quotes by Madeleine M. Kunin
The experience at the Masters was two years ago, and I am eager to win again this year so I can return to Augusta National in 2016. ~ Guan Tianlang
Augusta National quotes by Guan Tianlang
If you let it, the Masters will play you instead of you playing it. Augusta National can pamper you right off the bottom of the leader board. Pampered before and after your round, but mentally and emotionally pulverized during them - that's the formula. ~ Joe Inman
Augusta National quotes by Joe Inman
If there's a golf course in heaven, I hope it's like Augusta National. I just don't want an early tee time. ~ Gary Player
Augusta National quotes by Gary Player
The jelly-bean eating thug says that national defense is important. But national defense starts at home. ~ Dick Gregory
Augusta National quotes by Dick Gregory
It's really important for me to do the fundamentals of this job really, really well. And to let people know that I think the core responsibilities of a member of Congress aren't seeking the national headlines or being the spokesperson on this issue or that issue when you just get there. ~ Joseph P. Kennedy III
Augusta National quotes by Joseph P. Kennedy III
Anytime you have any opportunity to be with the national team it's an honor and a challenge, and it is something I am looking forward to. ~ Heather Mitts
Augusta National quotes by Heather Mitts
After September 11, the European governments have completely failed. They are incapable of seeing beyond their own national scope of interests. ~ Jurgen Habermas
Augusta National quotes by Jurgen Habermas
The 'most precious object of the Western world' is now a national monument of Ireland at the very highest level. It is probably the most famous and perhaps the most emotively charged medieval book of any kind. It is the iconic symbol of Irish culture. It is included in the Memory of the World Register compiled by UNESCO. A design echoing the Book of Kells was used on the former penny coin of Ireland (1971 to 2000) and on a commemorative twenty-euro piece in 2012. One of its initials was shown on the reverse of the old Irish five-pound banknote. It has been illustrated on the country's postage stamps. Probably every Irish bar in the world has some reflexion of its script or decoration. ~ Christopher De Hamel
Augusta National quotes by Christopher De Hamel
For most of my life, I would have automatically said that I would opt for conscientious objector status, and in general, I still would. But the spirit of the question is would I ever, and there are instances where I might. If immediate intervention would have circumvented the genocide in Rwanda or stopped the Janjaweed in Darfur, would I choose pacifism? Of course not. Scott Simon, the reporter for National Public Radio and a committed lifelong Quaker, has written that it took looking into mass graves in former Yugoslavia to convince him that force is sometimes the only option to deter our species' murderous impulses.

While we're on the subject of the horrors of war, and humanity's most poisonous and least charitable attributes, let me not forget to mention Barbara Bush (that would be former First Lady and presidential mother as opposed to W's liquor-swilling, Girl Gone Wild, human ashtray of a daughter. I'm sorry, that's not fair. I've no idea if she smokes.) When the administration censored images of the flag-draped coffins of the young men and women being killed in Iraq - purportedly to respect "the privacy of the families" and not to minimize and cover up the true nature and consequences of the war - the family matriarch expressed her support for what was ultimately her son's decision by saying on Good Morning America on March 18, 2003, "Why should we hear about body bags and deaths? I mean it's not relevant. So why should I waste my beautiful mind on something ~ David Rakoff
Augusta National quotes by David Rakoff
I talk slicker than a pimp from Augusta who just had his linen suit dry-cleaned ~ Drake
Augusta National quotes by Drake
This body of thought represents an almost total inversion of Westphalian world order. In the purist version of Islamism, the state cannot be the point of departure for an international system because states are secular, hence illegitimate; at best they may achieve a kind of provisional status en route to a religious entity on a larger scale. Noninterference in other countries' domestic affairs cannot serve as a governing principle, because national loyalties represent deviations from the true faith and because jihadists have a duty to transform dar al-harb, the world of unbelievers. Purity, not stability, is the guiding principle of this conception of world order. ~ Henry Kissinger
Augusta National quotes by Henry Kissinger
The idea that modernisation makes for enhanced national power and rapid progress and helps everyone achieve greater happiness has its origins in the astonishing political, economic and military successes of western Europe in the 19th century. ~ Pankaj Mishra
Augusta National quotes by Pankaj Mishra
The name of American, which belongs to you, in your national capacity, must always exalt the just pride of Patriotism ... ~ George Washington
Augusta National quotes by George Washington
We may casually talk of all sorts of new programs and 'stimulus,' but the vast trillion-dollar collective national debt and rising annual deficits will insidiously hamstring almost everything we plan to do. ~ Victor Davis Hanson
Augusta National quotes by Victor Davis Hanson
They say, hell, let the earth become a vast hell destroying killing and setting fire to the buildings of men, to theatres, national assemblies, to museums, libraries, prisons, psychiatric hospitals, old and new, from which they free the slaves. ~ Monique Wittig
Augusta National quotes by Monique Wittig
To win a national championship, you've got to be a little lucky. ~ Lou Holtz
Augusta National quotes by Lou Holtz
'Spectrum' is in part a disco song. But we play it hard, and it's a real euphoric, wailing tune. It's kind of like a total house anthem, in a way, but it seems to be going down really well. We've got all the grunge kids going mad for disco house raves. ~ Florence Welch
Augusta National quotes by Florence Welch
I am very concerned about the fact that India as a country does not have a national health system, and I am determined to try and influence the government to really build a national health system for the country. ~ Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
Augusta National quotes by Kiran Mazumdar-Shaw
If a responsible, mentally sound American wants to own and AR-15, that's their right. Besides, when the zombies come ... okay, you don't like the zombie thing. When the Chinese invade our country, who do you want to depend on? The over-extended police force and the National Guard? Or the next door neighbor who's a former Marine and has enough guns and ammunition for your entire block? ~ Aaron B. Powell
Augusta National quotes by Aaron B. Powell
During the election campaign of 2000, it was generally thought that then-governor Bush didn't know much about foreign policy or national security affairs, and that Colin Powell would lead on that front, while the president's main concern would be domestic. ~ Elliott Abrams
Augusta National quotes by Elliott Abrams
Alexander Hamilton originated the put and take system in our national treasury: the taxpayers put it in, and the politicians take it out ~ Will Rogers
Augusta National quotes by Will Rogers
In every Indigenous community I've been in, they absolutely do want community infrastructure and they do want development, but they want it on their own terms. They want to be able to use their national resources and their assets in a way that protects and sustains them. Our territories are our wealth, the major assets we have. And Indigenous people use and steward this property so that they can achieve and maintain a livelihood, and achieve and maintain that same livelihood for future generations. ~ Rebecca Adamson
Augusta National quotes by Rebecca Adamson
Folk music isn't owned by anybody. It is owned by everybody, like the national parks, the postal system, and the school system. It's our common property. There is nobody's name on it. Nobody can make money on it. It's not copywritten. ~ Utah Phillips
Augusta National quotes by Utah Phillips
Canadians want a country. They don't want a community of communities. I'm committed to the national unity of the country. ~ Michael Ignatieff
Augusta National quotes by Michael Ignatieff
The Press will not be free to tell lies. That is not freedom for the people, but a tyranny over their minds and souls. Much humbug is talked on this subject. What is press freedom? In practice it means the right of a dew millionaires to corner newspaper shares on the stock exchange and to voice their own opinions and interests, irrespective of the truth or of the national interest. ~ Oswald Mosley
Augusta National quotes by Oswald Mosley
The people like me, finally, after years and years of agitation, made deeply moving and eloquent speeches against the wrongness of your domination over us, and then finally, after the mutilated bodies of you, your wife, and your children were found in your beautiful and spacious bungalow at the edge of your rubber plantation - found by one of your many house servants (none of it was ever yours; it was never, ever yours) - you say to me, "Well, I wash my hands of all of you, I am leaving now," and you leave, and from afar you watch as we do to ourselves the very things you used to do to us. And you might feel that there was more to you than that, you might feel that you had understood the meaning of the Age of Enlightenment (though, as far as I can see, it had done you very little good); you loved knowledge, and wherever you went you made sure to build a school, a library (yes, and in both of these places you distorted or erased my history and glorified your own). But then again, perhaps as you observe the debacle in which I now exist, the utter ruin that I say is my life, perhaps you are remembering that you had always felt people like me cannot run things, people like me will never grasp the idea of Gross National Product, people like me will never be able to take command of the thing the most simpleminded among you can master, people like me will never understand the notion of rule by law, people like me cannot really think in abstractions, people like me cannot be objectiv ~ Jamiaca Kincaid
Augusta National quotes by Jamiaca Kincaid
I don't know what to say, except it's Christmas and we're all in misery. ~ Beverly D'Angelo
Augusta National quotes by Beverly D'Angelo
Talk of citizenship today is often thin and tinny. The word has a faintly old-fashioned feel to it when used in everyday conversation. When evoked in national politics, it's usually accompanied by the shrill whine of a descending culture-war mortar. ~ Eric Liu
Augusta National quotes by Eric Liu
If we make it national policy that we will support small farmers the way we support agribusiness, we'll suddenly see it change in terms of the cost of organic food. ~ Ruth Reichl
Augusta National quotes by Ruth Reichl
Violence as a way of gaining power ... is being camouflaged under the guise of tradition, national honor [and] national security ... ~ Alfred Adler
Augusta National quotes by Alfred Adler
Prayer and dependence on God has been our history. How unfortunate it is now that an unaccountable and unelected and misguided judge from Wisconsin, Judge Barbara Crabb, has declared National Days of Prayer - established by the Congress - to be unconstitutional. ~ James Dobson
Augusta National quotes by James Dobson
We shall never become an immense power in the world until we concentrate all our money and editorial forces upon one great national daily newspaper, so we can sauce back our opponents every day in the year; once a month or once a week is not enough. ~ Susan B. Anthony
Augusta National quotes by Susan B. Anthony
The National Football League needs "a guardian, not a CEO" to deal with the fact that "the sport is simply more and more identified with violence, both in its inherent nature and in its savage personnel. ~ Frank Deford
Augusta National quotes by Frank Deford
I can't deny that it will be a historic event for an African-American to become president. And should that happen, all Americans should be proud - not just African-Americans, but all Americans - that we have reached this point in our national history where such a thing could happen. It will also not only electrify our country, I think it'll electrify the world. ~ Colin Powell
Augusta National quotes by Colin Powell
If Mr Mah is unable to defend himself, he deserves to lose. No country in the world has given its citizens an asset as valuable as what we've given every family here. And if you say that policy is at fault, you must be daft." - when asked about a Straits Times report that cited keen opposition interest in contesting Tampines GRC, which National Development Minister Mah Bow Tan helms, so that they can raise the affordability of public housing as an election issue ~ Lee Kuan Yew
Augusta National quotes by Lee Kuan Yew
The first revolution is to transform the status of evaluation from untouchable to respectable , i.e., from the days a century ago when the value-free doctrine held that there could be no place for the serious treatment of evaluation within the sciences (or in the company of other respectable disciplines like history, jurisprudence, mathematics, etc.) to the days when even the National Academy of Sciences is doing evaluations at the request of Congress without protest from leading scientific and other professional organizations, and everyone will have good reasons for this acceptance. ~ Michael Scriven
Augusta National quotes by Michael Scriven
The cultivation of one set of faculties tends to the disuse of others. The loss of one faculty sharpens others; the blind are sensitive in touch. Has not the extreme cultivation of the commercial faculty permitted others as essential to national life, to be blighted by disease? ~ Judith Ellen Foster
Augusta National quotes by Judith Ellen Foster
Don't quote me on this, but if they ever manage to ban beer advertising in baseball you can kiss the national pastime goodbye. ~ Roger Maris
Augusta National quotes by Roger Maris
As a singer, I have won the highest honours in China. Actually I am like the panda: we are both national treasures. ~ Peng Liyuan
Augusta National quotes by Peng Liyuan
A president is supposed to calm the American people with sober decision-making in the national interest. ~ Monica Crowley
Augusta National quotes by Monica Crowley
USC is the National Champion like Al Gore is the President of the United States. ~ Mark Emmert
Augusta National quotes by Mark Emmert
Biodiversity can't be maintained by protecting a few species in a zoo, or by preserving greenbelts or national parks. To function properly, nature needs more room than that. It can maintain itself, however, without human expense, without zookeepers, park rangers, foresters or gene banks. All it needs is to be left alone. ~ Donella Meadows
Augusta National quotes by Donella Meadows
Only thru annihilation of distance in every respect, as the conveyance of intelligence, transport of passengers and supplies and transmission of energy will conditions be brought about some day, insuring permanency of friendly relations. What we now want most is closer contact and better understanding between individuals and communities all over the earth, and the elimination of that fanatic devotion to exalted ideals of national egoism and pride which is always prone to plunge the world into primeval barbarism and strife. ~ Nikola Tesla
Augusta National quotes by Nikola Tesla
The Jews are the enemy of National Socialism. ~ Arthur Seyss-Inquart
Augusta National quotes by Arthur Seyss-Inquart
It seemed to me the perfect company for the 21st century would be one that was technology-orientated with great content and national scale. ~ Brian L. Roberts
Augusta National quotes by Brian L. Roberts
All experience teaches that, whenever there is a great national establishment, employing large numbers of officials, the public must be reconciled to support many incompetent men; for such is the favoritism and nepotism always prevailing in the purlieus of these establishments, that some incompetent persons are always admitted, to the exclusion of many of the worthy. ~ Herman Melville
Augusta National quotes by Herman Melville
We now have poured in an enormous amount of resources into cancer. The National Cancer Institute Project, you know, runs about $5 billion a year. That's a large amount of money, but let's not be grandiose about the amount of money we're actually spending on a problem that is attacking us at the most fundamental level of the human species. ~ Siddhartha Mukherjee
Augusta National quotes by Siddhartha Mukherjee
