Quotations regarding 'Washington'

Choose a letter: 
Sometimes when I get home at night in Washington I feel as though I had been in a great traffic jam.
Grace Abbott, American Activist (1878-1939)
If I decide to tour, I definitely would come to Washington, D.C. We'll see.
Paula Abdul, American Musician (1962-  )
I would say that the Pentagon Papers case of 1971 - in which the government tried to block the The New York Times and The Washington Post that they obtained from a secret study of how we got involved in the war in Vietnam - that is probably the most important case.
Floyd Abrams, American Lawyer
Washington is like a self-sealing tank on a military aircraft. When a bullet passes through, it closes up.
Dean Acheson, American Statesman (1893-1971)
The progress of evolution from President Washington to President Grant was alone evidence to upset Darwin.
Henry B. Adams, Historian (1838-1918)
Well, here's what I think. I mean, the people are saying, 'We don't want it,' and the Democrats are saying, 'We don't care. We're going to pass it anyway.' And so for the next three months, Washington will be consumed with the Democrats trying to jam this through in a very messy procedure an unpopular health care bill.
Lamar Alexander, American Politician (1940-  )
I figure I'll be champ for about ten years and then I'll let my brother take over - like the Kennedys down in Washington.
Muhammad Ali, American Athlete (1942-  )
Washington is no place for a good actor. The competition from bad actors is too great.
Fred Allen, American Comedian (1894-1956)
I loved living and breathing theatre so much that I decided I had to find a way to bring my desire to act and my ability to support myself together. I'd run through the possibilities in Washington, so that meant moving to New York.
Karen Allen, American Actress (1951-  )
Washington, not Jefferson, freed his slaves upon his death.
Stephen Ambrose, American Historian (1936-2002)
Washington's character was rock solid. He came to stand for the new nation and its republican virtues, which was why he became our first President by unanimous choice.
Stephen Ambrose, American Historian (1936-2002)
Washington and Jefferson were both rich Virginia planters, but they were never friends.
Stephen Ambrose, American Historian (1936-2002)
I think a lot of people in Washington are extremely suspicious of NASA.
Laurie Anderson, American Musician (1947-  )
I went to the University of Washington as a physics and astronomy major. My other interest, of course, was aviation. I always wanted to be a pilot. And if you're going to fly airplanes, the best place to be is the Air Force.
Michael P. Anderson, American Astronaut (1959-2003)
People have always said - those words, 'too conservative,' is fairly relative. I'm sure that they probably said that about Thomas Jefferson and George Washington and Benjamin Franklin.
Sharron Angle, American Politician (1949-  )
We need to strengthen our analytic capacity in Washington, we need to centralize the anti-terrorism effort.
John Ashcroft, American Public Servant (1942-  )
Unfortunately I put the opening date on the 5th of December 1941 and on the 7th of December the Japanese bombarded Pearl Harbour. My dream of a theater in Washington D.C. came to a prompt end.
Leon Askin, Austrian Actor (1907-2005)
My brother Jeff is now my agent at Advantage International in Washington, D.C.
Tracy Austin, American Athlete (1962-  )
Well, what I tried to do is simply to get out on the land. And when I came to Washington, I think one of the mistakes we made early on was kind of having an ideological dispute up in the Congress.
Bruce Babbitt, American Politician (1938-  )
After the $700 billion bailout, the trillion-dollar stimulus, and the massive budget bill with over 9,000 earmarks, many of you implored Washington to please stop spending money we don't have. But, instead of cutting, we saw an unprecedented explosion of government spending and debt, unlike anything we have seen in the history of our country.
Michele Bachmann, American Politician (1956-  )
