In New York, we had primary elections for mayor. To improve their chances, all five candidates changed their name to Rudy Giuliani. ~ Conan O'Brien
Primary Elections quotes by Conan O'Brien
It's not just tougher out there. It's become a situation where the contest is how much you can destroy the system, rather than how much you can make it work. It makes no difference if you have a 'D' or an 'R' after your name. There's no sense that this is about democracy, and after the election you have to work together, and knit the country together. The people in the game now just think to the first Tuesday in November, and not a day beyond it. ~ Peter Hart
Primary Elections quotes by Peter Hart
Politics is sports for people who think they are smart and more serious about life. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Primary Elections quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Sonia Gandhi and her son play an important part in all of this. Their job is to run the Department of Compassion and Charisma and to win elections. They are allowed to make (and also to take credit for) decisions which appear progressive but are actually tactical and symbolic, meant to take the edge off popular anger and allow the big ship to keep on rolling. (The best example of this is the rally that was organised for Rahul Gandhi to claim victory for the cancellation of Vedanta's permission to mine Niyamgiri for bauxite - a battle that the Dongria Kondh tribe and a coalition of activists, local as well as international, have been fighting for years. At the rally, Rahul Gandhi announced that he was "a soldier for the tribal people". He didn't mention that the economic policies of his party are predicated on the mass displacement of tribal people. Or that every other bauxite "giri" - hill - in the neighbourhood was having the hell mined out of it, while this "soldier for the tribal people" looked away. Rahul Gandhi may be a decent man. But for him to go around talking about the two Indias - the "Rich India" and the "Poor India" - as though the party he represents has nothing to do with it, is an insult to everybody's intelligence, including his own.)

The division of labour between politicians who have a mass base and win elections, and those who actually run the country but either do not need to (judges and bureaucrats) or have been freed of the constraint of winn ~ Arundhati Roy
Primary Elections quotes by Arundhati Roy
Women have always been the primary victims of war. Women lose their husbands, their fathers, their sons in combat. ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton
Primary Elections quotes by Hillary Rodham Clinton
Keeping my weight in constant check had resulted in choosing alcohol as my primary means of caloric intake. ~ Sam Harris
Primary Elections quotes by Sam  Harris
I saw more clearly than ever, that the first great and primary business to which I ought to attend every day was, to have my soul happy in the Lord. The first thing to be concerned about was not, how much I might serve the Lord, how I might glorify the Lord; but how I might get my soul into a happy state, and how my inner man may be nourished ... I saw that the most important thing I had to do was to give myself to the reading of the Word of God and to meditation on it. ~ George Muller
Primary Elections quotes by George Muller
I have to say that elections, even in the most peaceful region, always make the hardest time for regional state institutions, including security structures. ~ Akhmad Kadyrov
Primary Elections quotes by Akhmad Kadyrov
In every well-written play the battle rages between the primary powers of Good and Evil, and it is this battle which constitutes the life impulse of the play, its driving force, and is basic to all plot structures ... In any true piece of art ... the beginning and the end are, or should be, polar in principle. All the main qualities of the first section should transform themselves into their opposites in the last section. ~ Michael Chekhov
Primary Elections quotes by Michael Chekhov
A writer's primary goal is to make sense. The bookstore's is to make cents. ~ Mokokoma Mokhonoana
Primary Elections quotes by Mokokoma Mokhonoana
The term "functional somatic syndrome" is used to describe groups of co-occurring symptoms that are medically unexplained. Polysymptomatic functional somatic syndromes frequently encountered by both mental health and primary care practitioners include irritable bowel syndrome (IBS), chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), and fibromyalgia. ~ Robert L. Woolfolk
Primary Elections quotes by Robert L. Woolfolk
If you're anything like me, you don't make up your mind about important issues by doing original research, pounding over primary sources and coming to your own conclusions; you listen to people who claim to know what they're talking about - "experts" - and try to determine which of them is more credible. You do your best to gauge who's authentically well-informed and unbiased, who has an agenda and what it is - who's a corporate flack, a partisan hack, or a wacko. I believe that global warming is real and anthropogenic not because I've personally studied Antarctic ice core samples or run my own computer climate models, but because all the people who support the theory are climatologists with no evident investment in the issue, and all the people who dismiss it as alarmist claptrap are shills of the petro-chemical industry or just seem to like debunking things, from the Holocaust to the moon landing. We put our trust - our votes, our money, sometimes our lives - in someone else's authority. In other words, most of us decide not what to believe but whom to believe. And I say believe because for most people, such decisions are matters of faith rather than reason. ~ Tim Kreider
Primary Elections quotes by Tim Kreider
The jazz guitarist Peter Sprague calls his home recording studio SpragueLand, but sometimes it seems that the moniker better captures the way he has turned the entire southland into his own musical playground. Sprague is a highly versatile musician who draws on the wellsprings of jazz and Brazilian music as primary influences. ~ Andrew S. Gilbert
Primary Elections quotes by Andrew S. Gilbert
I repeat, I repeat with emphasis: all "direct" persons and men of action are active just because they are stupid and limited. How explain that? I will tell you: in consequence of their limitation they take immediate and secondary causes for primary ones, and in that way persuade themselves more quickly and easily than other people do that they have found an infallible foundation for their activity, and their minds are at ease and you know that is the chief thing. ~ Fyodor Dostoyevsky
Primary Elections quotes by Fyodor Dostoyevsky
The film industry is a great industry with infinite possibilities for good and bad. Its primary purpose is to entertain people. On the side, it can do many other things. It can popularize certain ideals, it can make education palatable. But in the long run, the judge who decides whether what it does is good or bad is the man or woman who attends the movies. ~ Eleanor Roosevelt
Primary Elections quotes by Eleanor Roosevelt
The primary reason in starting a business part-time is not so much to make a product great. The real reason for starting a part-time business is to make you a great businessperson. ~ Robert Kiyosaki
Primary Elections quotes by Robert Kiyosaki
8. Santa Claus is concerned about the problem of Arctic ice. The ice is the spouse of the elves, and she is sick. She is the primary source of their magic, as the elves cannot be separated from the place where they live. For many years now, this is all they have asked for for Christmas: that the ice should come back ~ Catherynne M Valente
Primary Elections quotes by Catherynne M Valente
That day, I tell myself that even if I am not getting anything in this life, I will go to school. I will finish my primary and secondary and university schooling and become teacher because I don't just want to be having any kind voice... I want a louding voice. ~ Abi Daré
Primary Elections quotes by Abi Daré
Federal elections happen every two years in this country. Presidential elections every four years. And four years just isn't long enough to dismantle all the environmental laws we've got in this country. ~ Jared Diamond
Primary Elections quotes by Jared Diamond
The primary thing when you take a sword in your hands is your intention to cut the enemy, whatever the means. Whenever you parry, hit, spring, strike or touch the enemy's cutting sword, you must cut the enemy in the same movement. It is essential to attain this. If you think only of hitting, springing, striking or touching the enemy, you will not be able actually to cut him. ~ Miyamoto Musashi
Primary Elections quotes by Miyamoto Musashi
I believe that marriage is not just a bond but a sacred bond between a man and a woman ... I have had occasion in my life to defend marriage, to stand up for marriage, to believe in the hard work and challenge of marriage. So I [am] committed to the sanctity of marriage, or to the fundamental bedrock principle that exists between a man and a woman, going back into the mists of history as one of the founding, foundational institutions of history and humanity and civilization, and that its primary, principal role during those millennia has been the raising and socializing of children for the society into which they are to become adults. ~ Hillary Rodham Clinton
Primary Elections quotes by Hillary Rodham Clinton
We need to remember that the primary goal of Aikido is harmony and good relations between people. If we don't cultivate a harmonious heart along with technical skill, there will be a lack of integration in our practice, which will show up in behavior off the mat. ~ Linda Holiday
Primary Elections quotes by Linda Holiday
Waging war is not a primary physical need. ~ Susan Griffin
Primary Elections quotes by Susan Griffin
The stark and sobering reality is that, for reasons largely unrelated to actual crime trends, the American penal system has emerged as a system of social control unparalleled in world history. And while the size of the system alone might suggest that it would touch the lives of most Americans, the primary targets of its control can be defined largely by race. ~ Michelle Alexander
Primary Elections quotes by Michelle Alexander
Bruce Wayne's childhood experience of losing his parents during a random back-alley mugging remains the primary origin story for the Batman character, but other than irrationally (or, more accurately: insanely) motivating his desire to fight crime, the trauma seems to have had little discernable effect on his character. ~ Dan Hassler-Forest
Primary Elections quotes by Dan Hassler-Forest
Republicans rarely criticize Obama for lack of empathy - in part because liberals have traditionally been seen as standing up for the weak and the vulnerable. Conservatives can be just as empathetic. But they believe that, in most cases, it's not government's role to be the primary dispenser of empathy. ~ Gary Bauer
Primary Elections quotes by Gary Bauer
Curiosity is the primary fuel that drives lifelong education. ~ Dhaval Gajera
Primary Elections quotes by Dhaval Gajera
Of course, the latter made no secret of his attitude toward the Jewish people, and when necessary he even took the whip to drive from the temple of the Lord this adversary of all humanity, who then as always saw in religion nothing but an instrument for his business existence. In return, Christ was nailed to the cross, while our present-day party Christians debase themselves to begging for Jewish votes at elections and later try to arrange political swindles with atheistic Jewish parties- and this against their own nation. ~ Adolf Hitler
Primary Elections quotes by Adolf Hitler
Truth is not a reward for good behaviour, nor a prize for passing some tests. It cannot be brought about. It is the primary, the unborn, the ancient source of all that is. You are eligible because you are. You need not merit truth. It is your own ... Stand still, be quiet. ~ Nisargadatta Maharaj
Primary Elections quotes by Nisargadatta Maharaj
But since the end of the 1970s, at the beginning of the revolution in Iran under Khomenei, we have experienced a politicization of Islam. From the beginning, it had a primary adversary: the emancipation of women. With more men now coming to us from this cultural sphere, and some additionally brutalized by civil wars, this is a problem. We cannot simply ignore it. ~ Alice Schwarzer
Primary Elections quotes by Alice Schwarzer
Metaphysics is universal and is exclusively concerned with primary substance ... And here we will have the science to study that which is, both in its essence and in the properties which it has. ~ Aristotle.
Primary Elections quotes by Aristotle.
In elections, you can't tell the outcome until you open the ballot boxes. ~ Katsuya Okada
Primary Elections quotes by Katsuya Okada
As someone who is in awe and grateful every day to be in a country where freedom of the press, free speech and free elections are a way of life, I am wowed, amazed and excited by the opportunity to moderate a 2012 presidential debate. ~ Candy Crowley
Primary Elections quotes by Candy Crowley
The insanity rate per capita in South Africa is appalling ... it is easily seen that a primary requisite in any programme of the rehabilitation of the Bantu in South Africa would be mental health ... ~ L. Ron Hubbard
Primary Elections quotes by L. Ron Hubbard
In conclusion, here's my advice to aspiring writers, journalists, and future lawyers - or anyone planning on working in the communications field: if you want an accurate account of any story, go to the primary sources. They know what really happened. ~ Simeon Wright
Primary Elections quotes by Simeon Wright
Only brand names register in the mind ... What you should generally do is take a regular word and use it out of context to connote the primary attribute of your brand. ~ Al Ries
Primary Elections quotes by Al Ries
The judges' primary objective was to conduct a scrupulously fair legal proceeding that would win the respect of the world. Hausner's goal was to tell the story of the Holocaust in all its detail, and in so doing, to capture the imagination not just of Israel's youth and world Jewry, but of the entire world .

-- The Eichmann Trial, page 121 ~ Deborah E. Lipstadt
Primary Elections quotes by Deborah E. Lipstadt
It's all about media culture and people on television, and that feeling comfortable, friendly, or warm toward a candidate [in the elections] is a reason people would emotionally attach themselves to that candidate. I get the mechanics of it, I just hate that it's true. ~ Michael Schur
Primary Elections quotes by Michael Schur
As a caretaker, you play a unique role. You show your love to your spouse; you constantly affirm that things are improving; you work out the details of appointments and travel; you answer the countless questions of "How is she doing?"; you put on a determined front when the doctor gives you bad news; you take care of the children; you become the primary housekeeper; and you try to fulfill your obligations at work. Outside these responsibilities, you have a lot of free time! I ~ Susan Parris
Primary Elections quotes by Susan Parris
I'm the co-chair of the PTA at my kids' school, Ashmount Primary, in north Islington, London. ~ Arabella Weir
Primary Elections quotes by Arabella Weir
My two primary areas of focus have been open-space conservation and education, and I expect those to remain my priorities in the future. The Irvine open space and parklands provide serenity and balance to our unique Orange County lifestyle. ~ Donald Bren
Primary Elections quotes by Donald Bren
The primary task for the executive targeting first 100 days success is to set out the right strategic priorities and stay focused on them. ~ Niamh O'Keeffe
Primary Elections quotes by Niamh O'Keeffe
you were to ask Christians around the world what God wants from the people he has saved, most would probably answer "obedience." There is great truth in that answer, but it is not enough. If the sovereign God's primary goal in sanctifying believers is simply to make us more holy, it is hard to explain why most of us make only "small beginnings" on the road to personal holiness in this life, as the Heidelberg Catechism puts it (see Catechism Q. 113). In reality, God wants something much more precious in our lives than mere outward conformity to his will. After all, obedience is tricky business and can be confusing to us. We can be obedient outwardly while sinning wildly on the inside, as the example of the Pharisees makes clear. In fact, many of my worst sins have been committed in the context of my best obedience. ~ Barbara R. Duguid
Primary Elections quotes by Barbara R. Duguid
I called for a consumer protection financial bureau before it was created. And I think the best evidence that the Wall Street people at least know where I stand and where I have always stood is because they are trying to beat me in this primary. ~ Hillary Clinton
Primary Elections quotes by Hillary Clinton
Writing is my primary way of expressing myself. ~ Annie Baker
Primary Elections quotes by Annie Baker
Mobile Messaging is rapidly becoming the primary way users engage socially on mobile. ~ Keith Teare
