Quotations regarding 'Vice'
It only stands to reason that where there's sacrifice, there's someone collecting the sacrificial offerings. Where there's service, there is someone being served. The man who speaks to you of sacrifice is speaking of slaves and masters, and intends to be the master.
Ayn Rand, Russian Writer (1905-1982)
Government 'help' to business is just as disastrous as government persecution... the only way a government can be of service to national prosperity is by keeping its hands off.
Ayn Rand, Russian Writer (1905-1982)
Meanwhile, our young men and women whose economic circumstances make military service a viable career choice are dying bravely in a war with no end in sight.
Charles Rangel, American Politician (1930- )
Today many Caribbean workers can be found in the hospital, construction, service and hotel industries, but there is also a growing professional sector.
Charles Rangel, American Politician (1930- )
I guess I had it made. My mother gave me advice - she taught me that women like to be looked in the eye - and my grandmother gave me condoms.
Usher Raymond, American Musician (1978- )
I thought the Secret Service would protect me from the press, but they were at my house to protect me from assassins with guns, not with assassins with pencils.
Michael Reagan, -
The taxpayer - that's someone who works for the federal government but doesn't have to take the civil service examination.
Ronald Reagan, American President (1911-2004)
I went to a church where you could not sing out loud in the service until you had been saved.
Bernice Johnson Reagon, American Musician (1942- )
At a family's most difficult time, I want to make sure at a minimum that they have the very basic of comforts: the ability to grieve their loss privately and the knowledge that their country is grateful for their loved one's sacrifice and service.
Dave Reichert, American Politician (1950- )
Typically, an historic site is considered by the National Park Service to contain a single historical feature, while generally a National Historic Park extends beyond single properties or buildings.
Rick Renzi, American Politician (1958- )
The only advice I would give Christians entering the world of arts: give yourself a period of time, maybe three or four years. If you haven't made it in your chosen art form, dump it.
Cliff Richard, English Musician (1940- )
There is an increasingly pervasive sense not only of failure, but of futility. The legislative process has become a cruel shell game and the service system has become a bureaucratic maze, inefficient, incomprehensible, and inaccessible.
Elliot Richardson, American Lawyer (1920-1999)
All the papers contained nothing but fantastic stories about the war. However, for several months we had been accustomed to war talk. We had so often packed our service trunks that the whole thing had become tedious.
Manfred von Richthofen, German Aviator (1892-1918)
No two wars are ever the same. Some are just, some are unjust, but the basic commonality shared between them all is that young men and women heeded a call to service, overcame their fear, and fought for their side.
Bob Riley, American Politician
At least for the people who send me mail about a new language that they're designing, the general advice is: do it to learn about how to write a compiler.
Dennis Ritchie, American Scientist (1941- )
When I read commentary about suggestions for where C should go, I often think back and give thanks that it wasn't developed under the advice of a worldwide crowd.
Dennis Ritchie, American Scientist (1941- )
Don't follow any advice, no matter how good, until you feel as deeply in your spirit as you think in your mind that the counsel is wise.
Joan Rivers, American Comedian (1933- )
Quality, service, cleanliness, and value.
Cavett Robert, -
There is nothing men are so generous of as advice.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld, French Writer (1613-1680)
We give advice, but we cannot give the wisdom to profit by it.
Francois de La Rochefoucauld, French Writer (1613-1680)
