The most pressing problem facing America can't be solved in Washington DC. True hope and change can't be found at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. It can only be found at the foot of the cross on Calvary. ~ Todd Starnes
Washington Dc quotes by Todd Starnes
I've said it before, Donald John Trump is the mythological trickster demon we know. That sly fox upon that rock. Michael Richard Pence, however, is the DEVIL. ~ A.K. Kuykendall
Washington Dc quotes by A.K. Kuykendall
Civil disobedience can help to focus attention on a particular injustice. It was used historically to highlight wrongs in society - turning ancient redwood forests into paper towels or preventing people from sitting down at lunch counters because of the color of their skin. On climate change, we have not seen strong leadership coming from Washington, DC.In particular the president has an enormous opportunity to follow up on his inaugural speech with a concerted course of action to aggressively take on a clean energy transition. ~ Michael Brune
Washington Dc quotes by Michael Brune
A short distance away is the Tidal Basin, ringed by cherry trees that every year produce flowers, an event to which Washingtonians react as though it were the Second Coming of Christ. ~ Dave Barry
Washington Dc quotes by Dave Barry
According to a 2012 study, modern fracking "events" (as they are called) use an average of five million gallons of water - " 70 to 300 times the amount of fluid used in traditional fracking." Once used, much of this water is radioactive and toxic. In 2012, the industry created 280 billion gallons of such wastewater in the U.S. alone - " enough to flood all of Washington DC beneath a 22ft deep toxic lagoon," as The Guardian noted.

In other words, extreme energy demands that we destroy a whole lot of the essential substance we need to survive - water - just to keep extracting more of the very substances threatening our survival and that we can power our lives without. ~ Naomi Klein
Washington Dc quotes by Naomi Klein
He didn't seem to understand yet was that I didn't really care about the ways of Washington. ~ Elizabeth Warren
Washington Dc quotes by Elizabeth Warren
If she couldn't be with Harlen in Washington, DC, this was the place to be.
Sera's mobile screen lit, and she glanced down to find a text from him: I have to pee. ~ Erin Kellison
Washington Dc quotes by Erin Kellison
Many people consider the things government does for them to be social progress but they regard the things government does for others as socialism.
[Address to National Press Club in Washington DC, as quoted in Freedom and Union (April 1952)] ~ Earl Warren
Washington Dc quotes by Earl Warren
Forget public service. We all come here with good intentions, but as time passes, it becomes all about self-service and selfish survival. ~ Congressman X
Washington Dc quotes by Congressman X
Washington DC is happiest when in indignation overdrive. ~ George F. Will
Washington Dc quotes by George F. Will
I once saw a snake having sex with a vulture, and I thought, It's just business as usual in Washington DC. ~ Jarod Kintz
Washington Dc quotes by Jarod Kintz
English lecturers... who treat the Americans as a race of barbarians without any history should be taken for a tour round Washington before they are permitted to speak! ~ Vera Brittain
Washington Dc quotes by Vera Brittain
Always do right. This will gratify some people and astonish the rest.
- Mark Twain ~ L.A. Smith
Washington Dc quotes by L.A.     Smith
You don't have to visit an asylum to see insanity. All you have to do is visit Washington DC. ~ Jarod Kintz
Washington Dc quotes by Jarod Kintz
the fact is, our relationships to these corporations are not unambiguous. some memebers of negativland genuinely liked pepsi products. mca grew up loving star wars and didn't mind having his work sent all over the united states to all the "cool, underground magazines" they were marketing to--why would he? sam gould had a spiritual moment in the shower listening to a cd created, according to sophie wong, so that he would talk about tylenol with his independent artist friends--and he did. many of my friends' daughters will be getting american girl dolls and books as gifts well into the foreseeable future. some skateboarders in washington, dc, were asked to create an ad campaign for the east coast summer tour, and they all love minor threat--why not use its famous album cover? how about shilling for converse? i would have been happy to ten years ago. so what's really changed?
the answer is that two important things have changed: who is ultimately accountable for veiled corporate campaigns that occasionally strive to obsfucate their sponsorship and who is requesting our participation in such campaigns. behind converse and nike sb is nike, a company that uses shit-poor labor policies and predatory marketing that effectively glosses over their shit-poor labor policies, even to an audience that used to know better. behind team ouch! was an underground-savvy brainreservist on the payroll of big pharma; behind the recent wave of street art in hip urban areas near you was omd worl ~ Anne Elizabeth Moore
Washington Dc quotes by Anne Elizabeth Moore
I know where a lot of them [the elite or elitists] live.
Where's that?
Well, in our nation's capital and New York City. I've seen it. I've lived there. ~ John McCain
Washington Dc quotes by John McCain
There is one other wall, of course. One we never speak of. One we never see, One which separates memory from madness. In a place no one offers flowers. THE WALL WITHIN. We permit no visitors. Mine looks like any of a million nameless, brick walls - it stands in the tear-down ghetto of my soul; that part of me which reason avoids for fear of dirtying its clothes and from atop which my sorrow and my rage hurl bottles and invectives at the rolled-up windows of my passing youth. Do you know the wall I mean? - Steve Mason, U.S. Army captain (Vietnam), poet Excerpted from the poem "The Wall Within" by Steve Mason, a decorated Vietnam combat veteran considered the unofficial poet laureate of the Vietnam War. "The Wall Within" was read at the 1984 dedication of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, DC, and was entered in its entirety into the Congressional Record. ~ Kevin Sites
Washington Dc quotes by Kevin Sites
Mixologist at a bar in the heavily gentrified Shaw neighbourhood, I fear I haven't a skinny-jeaned leg to stand on. S.D. PLATTON Washington, DC ~ Anonymous
Washington Dc quotes by Anonymous
In Washington, DC, politics dominate even the most casual conversations. ~ Armstrong Williams
Washington Dc quotes by Armstrong Williams
Make sure of two things: Be careful
microphones are always hot, and understand that in Washington, DC, a gaffe is when you tell the truth. So, be careful. ~ Joe Biden
Washington Dc quotes by Joe Biden
When journalists are 'accused' of being 'advocates', that means: challenging and deviating from DC orthodoxies. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Washington Dc quotes by Glenn Greenwald
[Washington, DC] feels like you're watching performance art. A lot of the time. I don't believe them, I don't believe what they say, I don't think they're being absolutely sincere. I think it's performance art. And most of them are bad actors. ~ Kevin Spacey
Washington Dc quotes by Kevin Spacey
Development does not take place in Washington, DC. Development takes place in the rest of the world. ~ Andrew Natsios
Washington Dc quotes by Andrew Natsios
I didn't grow up in public life. I lived with my mother in Boston, not in Washington, DC, so I was somewhat sheltered from that. ~ Alexandra Kerry
Washington Dc quotes by Alexandra Kerry
Washington, DC does not have to live with much of what they produce legislatively for us. ~ Rush Limbaugh
Washington Dc quotes by Rush Limbaugh
America acknowledged the greatness of Confucius through a trio of ancient lawgivers - Moses flanked by Confucius to his right and Solon on his left - on the monument to "Justice, the Guardian of Liberty" displayed on the eastern pediment of the U.S. Supreme Court Building in Washington, D.C. ~ Patrick Mendis
Washington Dc quotes by Patrick Mendis
Funny thing about love, ain't it? Sometimes it saves you and sometimes, like right then, even love isn't enough. ~ Eden Butler
Washington Dc quotes by Eden Butler
The ACS raised over $180 million last year through its network of 58 Divisions and 3,000 local Chapters. The Society's major public campaign is aimed at reducing smoking and cancers related to it. Yet ... the ACS has but a single (lobbyist) in Washington DC. The industry-supported Tobacco Institute, on the other hand, has a ten million dollar budget which supports dozens of Washington staff. ~ Michael F. Jacobson
Washington Dc quotes by Michael F. Jacobson
There are seemingly parallel origins of Nature's God in America and China's Mandate of Heaven. These twin concepts created socio-political forces for public good and orderly governance, and a unique cultural ethos (related to the Creator of the Universe in America and the Son of Heaven in China) is deeply rooted in both societies. Each concept is physically yet stealthily manifested in the architectural designs of the two capital cities, Beijing and Washington. ~ Patrick Mendis
Washington Dc quotes by Patrick Mendis
Bad as political fiction can be, there is always a politician prepared to make it look artistic by comparison. ~ Christopher Hitchens
Washington Dc quotes by Christopher Hitchens
Excerpt from page 3 of "Wicked Washington"
Shelly Williams, the main character, speaking about her life:
And close and dangerous calls were almost my last name. Yet I felt as comfortable among the street hustlers, junkies, thieves, and criminals of D.C. as I did dining with my
white-collar, college-pedigreed friends over filet mignon, Maine lobster, and strawberry cheesecake at LaMermaid
Seafood Restaurant. ~ Sonja D. Jones
Washington Dc quotes by Sonja D. Jones
Both parties promote "changing Washington," but in reality they like Washington just the way it is: little gets done that they don't like, and none of our officials are truly held accountable. ~ Andrew P. Napolitano
Washington Dc quotes by Andrew P. Napolitano
I wish somebody would combine tasers and dildos, and test the devices out on all the politicians in Washington DC. Well, all the politicians except Barney Frank, who'd actually derive pleasure from the experiment. ~ Jarod Kintz
Washington Dc quotes by Jarod Kintz
I was petrified because all my friends would be going to Washington, DC, to protest. I was sixteen, and I was like, "I don't think I'll be going with you guys," just because I was scared. Then you saw the news, and cops - not students in schools with guns - cops are killing sixteen year old protesters on the news. To me that was more horrifying, to have the authority figures actually killing people on the evening news, than to have another student firing a gun. ~ Gus Van Sant
Washington Dc quotes by Gus Van Sant
Hardly anybody tells the truth these days. For the truth I have to go to Washington DC, and whatever a politician says, interpolate the opposite. ~ Jarod Kintz
Washington Dc quotes by Jarod Kintz
I was raised in Washington, DC, very violent place. I grew up with violence. My introduction to music was violent. The years I've spent on tours, some of that was extremely violent. ~ Henry Rollins
Washington Dc quotes by Henry Rollins
We owe Clint Eastwood a debt of thanks. Not only because it was truly a hilarious twelve minutes of improvised "awesome" in a week of scripted "blah".
But because it advanced our understanding.
This president has issues, and there are very legitimate debates about his policies and actions, and successes and or failures as president - I mean, tune in next week. But I could never wrap my head around why the world, and the president republicans describe, bears so little resemblance to the world and the president that I experience. And now I know why :
There is a president Obama that only republicans can see ~ Jon Stewart
Washington Dc quotes by Jon Stewart
I live in Alexandria, Virginia. Near the Supreme Court chambers is a toll bridge across the Potomac. When in a rush, I pay the dollar toll and get home early. However, I usually drive outside the downtown section of the city and cross the Potomac on a free bridge. This bridge was placed outside the downtown Washington, DC area to serve a useful social service, getting drivers to drive the extra mile and help alleviate congestion during the rush hour. If I went over the toll bridge and through the barrier without paying the toll, I would be committing tax evasion ... If, however, I drive the extra mile and drive outside the city of Washington to the free bridge, I am using a legitimate, logical and suitable method of tax avoidance, and am performing a useful social service by doing so. For my tax evasion, I should be punished. For my tax avoidance, I should be commended. The tragedy of life today is that so few people know that the free bridge even exists. ~ Louis D. Brandeis
Washington Dc quotes by Louis D. Brandeis
There's a relentless wave of WTF coming out of Washington DC. ~ Jarod Kintz
Washington Dc quotes by Jarod Kintz
A brick could be used to send Satan back from whence he came. But where did he come from? Probably Washington DC. ~ Jarod Kintz
Washington Dc quotes by Jarod Kintz
I had a dream about you. You looked like you, but you also looked like a mannequin. And I looked like me, but I also looked like a mannequin. Between the two of us, we were too fake even for Hollywood. And as such, we were forced to reside in Washington DC. ~ Dark Jar Tin Zoo
Washington Dc quotes by Dark Jar Tin Zoo
She wanted to know what his body would feel like under her hands. Her palms slid, almost as if under someone else's control, under his jacket until she embraced his waist. His jacket, now parted on either side of her, left only a thin shirt and her dress between her belly and the ridges she felt across his abdomen. She was right about what she'd imagined under his suit. ~ Elizabeth SaFleur
Washington Dc quotes by Elizabeth SaFleur
To be surrounded by sixty people who make your life miserable is to be at a family reunion. But to be surrounded by 600,000 people who make the whole world miserable is to live in Washington DC. ~ Jarod Kintz
Washington Dc quotes by Jarod Kintz
This power became addicting to many elected officials who, instead of going to Washington, DC, for a brief time to represent their constituency, wanted to hold their positions for extended periods of time - even for life. This growing power and the progressive intrusion of government into the lives of the people was so insidious that it went largely undetected. ~ Ben Carson
Washington Dc quotes by Ben Carson
The same music is playing on the radio in San Francisco, New York, Washington DC and Annapolis. Everywhere you go there's the same artists and same songs by them, over and over again. At some stations they play the same songs 50 to 60 times a week. ~ John Hall
Washington Dc quotes by John Hall
Growing up, my dad owned a restaurant in Washington, DC, and food was something I was passionate about. But when I finally got into it, I felt like it was so late in the game; that's why I worked seven days a week at Craft and Mercer Kitchen. I wanted to see how far I could take it. ~ David Chang
Washington Dc quotes by David Chang
I think Dianne Feinstein may be the most Orwellian political official in Washington. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Washington Dc quotes by Glenn Greenwald
As you probably know, some American politicians and American journalists refer to Washington, DC as the "capital of the free world." But it seems to me that this great city (Brussels), which boasts 1,000 years of history and which serves as the capital of Belgium, the home of the European Union, and the headquarters for NATO, this city has its own legitimate claim to that title. ~ Joe Biden
Washington Dc quotes by Joe Biden
The capital of the United States is the home to the best of the worst humanity has to offer. The most corrupt, the most deceitful, the most tyrannical, the most greedy, and the most evil rise through the ranks of the political machines and eventually find themselves safely in bed participating in the incestuous orgy of corruption occurring daily in Washington, DC. ~ Justin King
Washington Dc quotes by Justin King
Politeness has become so rare that some people mistake it for flirtation. ~ Waseem
Washington Dc quotes by Waseem
In July of 1983, I left Washington, DC area and have had minimal contact with Judge Clarence Thomas since. ~ Anita Hill
Washington Dc quotes by Anita Hill
In case anyone in America had missed the utter helplessness of their government, 4,000 British troops captured and burned Washington DC. The Presidential mansion, where the decision for war had been taken, was one of the public buildings to be torched. ~ Andrew D. Lambert
Washington Dc quotes by Andrew D. Lambert
I have a lot of friends who come from alcoholic families, and they aren't alcoholics, because someone explained it to them. When I was in Washington DC, they really talked about the difference statistically between families that talk about drug addiction and ones that don't. The kids that can say "I see where this is going" have a much better chance of not becoming addicts, because they have been educated. ~ Nikki Sixx
Washington Dc quotes by Nikki Sixx
In New York, people are unhappy on purpose, because unhappiness makes them seem more complex; in Washington DC it just sort of works out that way. ~ Chuck Klosterman
Washington Dc quotes by Chuck Klosterman
The American dream is under attack because our government has been hijacked by the Liberals in Washington DC. ~ Herman Cain
Washington Dc quotes by Herman Cain
Killing Lincoln is a must-read historical thriller. Bill O'Reilly recounts the dramatic events of the spring of 1865 with such exhilarating immediacy that you will feel like you are walking the streets of Washington DC on the night that John Wilkes Booth shot Abraham Lincoln. This is a hugely entertaining, heart-stopping read. ~ Vince Flynn
Washington Dc quotes by Vince Flynn
All suburban housing developments look alike, and besides, every Yankee who ever crossed the Potomac except Ulysses S. Grant got lost as soon as he reached the Virginia side. ~ Charles McCarry
Washington Dc quotes by Charles McCarry
At a national political convention, you have hundreds of people who consider themselves at least as important as the Secretary of Commerce. If it's a Democratic convention, you also have dozens of A-list Hollywood and music celebrities. (If it's a Republican convention, you have Bo Derek.) Also you have swarms of lower-ranking Washington minions with titles like Deputy Assistant to the Associate Deputy Assistant Chief of Staff who are trying to move up the ladder to Deputy Associate to the Assistant Acting Deputy Assistant Understudy. ~ Dave Barry
Washington Dc quotes by Dave Barry
We need one strong hombre or hombre-ette, and I'm the hombre-ette to go and stand for you in Washington DC. ~ Michele Bachmann
Washington Dc quotes by Michele Bachmann
You want a friend in this city? [Washington, DC.] Get a dog! ~ Harry Truman
Washington Dc quotes by Harry Truman
Most of everything is very little of not very much at all. ~ Richard Edward Harding
Washington Dc quotes by Richard Edward Harding
I'll be long gone before some smart person ever figures out what happened inside this Oval Office.
(Washington DC, 12 May, 2008) ~ George W. Bush
Washington Dc quotes by George W. Bush
I'd watched the election of Barack Obama with them, in Harlem: the celebration had spilled out onto the streets and erupted into dancing, outdoor champagne-drinking, euphoria. This [the 1/21/17 Women's March on Washington, DC] was different. It was like laughter at a funeral - what else can you do but hold on to who you are and who you love? What can you do but try to stay sane and fight like hell for what life is all about? ~ Sarah Larson
Washington Dc quotes by Sarah Larson
Given time, Washington DC. has a way of making a Politician out of an Honest Man. ~ Ron Rinna
Washington Dc quotes by Ron Rinna
Fifteen years ago, God unequivocally and undeniably gave me Isaiah 22:22 as a life-verse. "Then I will set the key of the house of David on his shoulder, when he opens no one will shut, when he shuts no one will open." After 40 plus confirmations over a two-week period - yes, more than 40 - I became thoroughly convinced this verse was both a promise and a weapon for me. I have since used the verse hundreds of times throughout America - in all 50 states and in Washington DC - to open and close spiritual doors for the Lord. ~ Dutch Sheets
Washington Dc quotes by Dutch Sheets
VERY EARLY ONE MORNING in July 1977, the FBI, having been tipped off about Operation Snow White, carried out raids on Scientology offices in Los Angeles and Washington, DC, carting off nearly fifty thousand documents. One of the files was titled "Operation Freakout." It concerned the treatment of Paulette Cooper, the journalist who had published an exposé of Scientology, The Scandal of Scientology, six years earlier. After having been indicted for perjury and making bomb threats against Scientology, Cooper had gone into a deep depression. She stopped eating. At one point, she weighed just eighty-three pounds. She considered suicide. Finally, she persuaded a doctor to give her sodium pentothal, or "truth serum," and question her under the anesthesia. The government was sufficiently impressed that the prosecutor dropped the case against her, but her reputation was ruined, she was broke, and her health was uncertain. The day after the FBI raid on the Scientology headquarters, Cooper was flying back from Africa, on assignment for a travel magazine, when she read a story in the International Herald Tribune about the raid. One of the files the federal agents discovered was titled "Operation Freakout." The goal of the operation was to get Cooper "incarcerated in a mental institution or jail. ~ Lawrence Wright
Washington Dc quotes by Lawrence Wright
I still get plenty anxious. The weird thing, and the unpleasant surprise for me, of proceeding well into the middle, perhaps even post-prime of my career is that writing books has not got any easier. And that doesn't seem fair. I mean, I've been doing it so surely I should be getting better at it, at least a little bit blasé... And it seems to be working absolutely the opposite. This book [Big Brother] I had no confidence in the entirety of its composition, and I only decided I liked it when I finished the very final draft. This means I'm in a state of semi-misery for a long time. And I can't blithely seem either that's some little game I'm playing with myself because, you know, you can easily come along and you don't like what's you're writing for good reason. Right? So, yeah, it's very anxious making, I don't think it's so much the becoming a little more successful, I think it's becoming slightly more aware of how much has already been written, and just becoming less self-impressed as the years go by. More impressed with some people who are better than I am, but... It doesn't wow me that I can write a sentence any more. It has to be a really good sentence. And... I think that's what potentially leads to paralysis in late career, is a kind of killing humility.


Politics & Prose Bookstore in Washington, DC, on June 11, 2013 ~ Lionel Shriver
Washington Dc quotes by Lionel Shriver
Before the nineteen-seventies, most Republicans in Washington accepted the institutions of the welfare state, and most Democrats agreed with the logic of the Cold War. Despite the passions over various issues, government functioned pretty well. Legislators routinely crossed party lines when they voted, and when they drank; filibusters in the Senate were reserved for the biggest bills; think tanks produced independent research, not partisan talking points. The "D." or "R." after a politician's name did not tell you what he thought about everything, or everything you thought about him. ~ George Packer
Washington Dc quotes by George Packer
If you expose what it is that we're doing, if you inform your fellow citizens about all the things that we're doing in the dark, we will destroy you. This is what their spate of prosecutions of whistleblowers have [sic] been about. It's what trying to threaten journalists, to criminalize what they do, is about. It's to create a climate of fear, so that nobody will bring accountability to them.
It's not going to work. I think it's starting to backfire, because it shows their true character and exactly why they can't be trusted to operate with power in secret. And we're certainly not going to be deterred by it in any way. The people who are going to be investigated are not the people reporting on this, but are people like Dianne Feinstein and her friends in the National Security Agency, who need investigation and transparency for all the things that they've been doing. ~ Glenn Greenwald
Washington Dc quotes by Glenn Greenwald
Chicago has been characterized as the most segregated city in the United States, a city they said could never change. ~ Harold Washington
Washington Dc quotes by Harold Washington
I have never been a communicant. ~ George Washington
Washington Dc quotes by George Washington
It is better to say, "This one thing I do" than to say, "These forty things I dabble in." ~ Washington Gladden
Washington Dc quotes by Washington Gladden
In Hollywood, it's hard to be funny, because all the big jokes are in Washington. ~ Rich Little
Washington Dc quotes by Rich Little
...9/11 was immediately understood not only as a tragedy for the United States and the city of New York but also as a global outrage, which took the lives of so many citizens from across the world. The headline emphasized the manner in which questions of identity were geographically and emotionally connected - the local (New York, Pennsylvania and Washington), the national (United States), and the global. Shortly afterwards, however, the event became reinscribed in overwhelmingly national terms - 'Attack on America'. Tragically, as former Vice President Al Gore has said, the United States has squandered that global goodwill and solidarity by its largely unilateral engagement in Iraq and other activities which have been judged by others to be inimical to international law, such as extraordinary rendition, detention camps, and the doctrine of pre-emption. We are certainly not all Americans now. ~ Klaus Dodds
Washington Dc quotes by Klaus Dodds
Rather than fight the same tired battles that have dominated Washington for decades, it's time to try something new. Let's invest in our people without leaving them a mountain of debt. Let's meet our responsibility to the citizens who sent us here. Let's try common sense. ~ Barack Obama
Washington Dc quotes by Barack Obama
In my view, far from deserving condemnation for their courageous reporting, the New York Times, the Washington Post and other newspapers should be commended for serving the purpose that the Founding Fathers saw so clearly. ~ Hugo Black
Washington Dc quotes by Hugo Black
Surely happiness is reflective, like the light of heaven; and every countenance, bright with smiles, and glowing with innocent enjoyment, is a mirror transmitting to others the rays of a supreme and ever-shining benevolence. ~ Washington Irving
Washington Dc quotes by Washington Irving
We can't let this happen. We should march on Washington and stop this travesty. Our nation is totally divided!'Let's fight like hell and stop this great and disgusting injustice! The world is laughing at us. ~ Donald Trump
Washington Dc quotes by Donald Trump
America isn't Congress. America isn't Washington. America is the striving immigrant who starts a business, or the mom who works two low-wage jobs to give her kid a better life. America is the union leader and the CEO who put aside their differences to make the economy stronger. ~ Barack Obama
Washington Dc quotes by Barack Obama
My understanding of Twitter was that it was a bunch of famous people telling you when they're going to the bathroom. And, that was not something I wanted to be part of. ~ Kerry Washington
Washington Dc quotes by Kerry Washington
I always enjoyed playing around Washington, because we always have a good crowd. I've never had a bad crowd in this vicinity from here [Alexandria], up to Washington and on to right around Baltimore. They've been some good fans. ~ Ralph Stanley
Washington Dc quotes by Ralph Stanley
Friends persuaded me to run for the office, and I won. I had been warned, before taking office, that state politics lacks the glamour of its Washington counterpart; one labors largely in obscurity, mostly on topics that mean a great deal to some but that the average man or woman on the street can safely ignore (the regulation of mobile homes, say, or the tax consequences of farm equipment depreciation). Nonetheless, I found the work ~ Barack Obama
Washington Dc quotes by Barack Obama
History fades into fable; fact becomes clouded with doubt and controversy; the inscription molders from the tablet; the statue falls from the pedestal. Columns, arches, pyramids, what are they but heaps of sand - and their epitaphs, but characters written in the dust? ~ Washington Irving
Washington Dc quotes by Washington Irving
American foreign policy is not understood by the vast majority of American people. And that this is due to a media that in this country is suppressed by Washington and by the owners of this media, who often tend to be corporate entities close to the [White House] and very often are arms manufacturers with a vested interest in chaos [in] the Middle East. And as a result Americans do not actually get both sides of the story. ~ Denis Halliday
Washington Dc quotes by Denis Halliday
With AC/DC, we've always started with rock, and we've just kept it going. The critic's view is always, 'They just made an album and it's the same as the last one.' I'll have fifteen of them, anytime. ~ Angus Young
Washington Dc quotes by Angus Young
[The spirit of party] serves always to distract the public councils and enfeeble the public administration. It agitates the community with ill-founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another. ~ George Washington
Washington Dc quotes by George Washington
When he hung over the death-bed of his infant son Ibrahim, resignation to the Will of God was exhibited in his conduct under this keenest of afflictions; and the hope of soon rejoining his child in paradise was his consolation. When he followed him to the grave, he invoked his spirit, in the awful examination of the tomb, to hold fast to the foundations of the faith, the Unity of God, and his own mission as a Prophet. ~ Washington Irving
Washington Dc quotes by Washington Irving
Every schoolchild learns of L'Enfant's design to make an invasion of Washington difficult. But more interesting is the placement of the White House relative to the Capitol. The distance between them is one mile, and at the time it was a mile through difficult terrain (the mall was a swamp). The distance was a barrier meant to tilt the intercourse between Congress and the president by making it marginally more difficult for them to connect - and thereby more difficult for the executive to control the legislature. ~ Lawrence Lessig
Washington Dc quotes by Lawrence Lessig
Thus it happens that your true dull minds are generally preferred for public employ, and especially promoted to city honors; your keen intellects, like razors, being considered too sharp for common service. I ~ Washington Irving
Washington Dc quotes by Washington Irving
Brains and character rule the world. The most distinguished Frenchman of the last century said: Men succeed less by their talents than their character. There were scores of men a hundred years ago who had more intellect than Washington. He outlives and overrides them all by the influence of his character. ~ Wendell Phillips
Washington Dc quotes by Wendell Phillips
I have said that control of arms is a mission that we undertake particularly for our children and our grandchildren and that they have no lobby in Washington. ~ John F. Kennedy
Washington Dc quotes by John F. Kennedy
Veterans are driven by the same frustrations that the public has with what is happening in Washington ... the fiscal irresponsibility and the financial crisis that our country is facing. ~ Pete Hegseth
Washington Dc quotes by Pete Hegseth
I have gone on the air and announced my telephone number at the Washington Post. I go into the night, talking to people, looking for things. The great dreaded thing every reporter lives with is what you don't know. The source you didn't go to. The phone call you didn't return. ~ Bob Woodward
Washington Dc quotes by Bob Woodward
It can't really happen today the way it did back then and part of that is because I think there's a bit of a competitive scare over at Marvel and DC so they lock guys up with exclusive contracts. ~ Todd McFarlane
Washington Dc quotes by Todd McFarlane
I still love Marvel to death and I had a great experience, and it was a really tough decision to leave Marvel. It was a very easy decision to come to DC; it was very difficult to leave Marvel. And I really wanted to draw Batman, and really, that was entirely the discussion when it came to coming to DC. ~ David Finch
Washington Dc quotes by David Finch
I want to thank the people of Texas for asking me to represent them in Washington. ~ Kay Bailey Hutchison
Washington Dc quotes by Kay Bailey Hutchison
In my platoon, we came from different parts of the country, with different backgrounds, different religious beliefs, different political beliefs-and yet we all put those differences aside. Fundamentally, I believe that's what the American people expect of Congress as well. We all ought to be able to come together in Washington and do what's best for our America. ~ Seth Moulton
Washington Dc quotes by Seth Moulton
First, to create the violent distortions of space and time necessary to travel through a wormhole, one would need fabulous amounts of positive and negative matter, on the order of a huge star or a black hole. Matthew Visser, a physicist at Washington University, estimates that the amount of negative energy you would need to open up a 1-meter wormhole is comparable to the mass of Jupiter, except that it would need to be negative. He says, "You need about minus one Jupiter mass to do the job. Just manipulating a positive Jupiter mass of energy is already pretty freaky, well beyond our capabilities into the foreseeable future. ~ Michio Kaku
Washington Dc quotes by Michio Kaku
It had always felt to me as though Washington, D.C., to Boston was one span of stuff. You never really leave Springsteenland, you're just in this unbroken highway and strip-mall landscape. ~ William Gibson
Washington Dc quotes by William Gibson
Power ... was the coin of the Washington realm and, without it, you might as well file for bankruptcy. ~ Elizabeth Ray
