"I don`t want to get involved in the racial situation at the expense of losing fans. I wouldn`t say anything too strong but I do know that God created us equal and we`re not living up to it."
- Jayne MansfieldI really like comedy that brings people together. There`s a lot of comedies lately that have been at people`s expense or been kind of acidic or mean-spirited. And some folks like that, and I think there`s room for that, but that`s not my style. I like something that makes us all feel closer. Comedy, at its best, can be healing.
- Vince VaughnStyle is definitely a combination of place, occasion, surroundings, body and mood. And to be honest, I sometimes don`t spare neither trouble nor expense. Fortunately I can afford to do so now, but style doesn`t mean you have to stick to all-brands-looks. The thing is, you can`t buy style and you can only slowly learn it.
- Sienna Miller(on Robert De Niro) Bobby needs someone to watch over him. He doesn`t even know enough to wear a coat in the wintertime. When we did "Bloody Mama" he didn`t even know how much money they were paying him. I found out how little it was and insisted they at least give him some expense money.
- Shelley WintersI love working and I feel satisfied when I know I have literally given all the energy that I have. That being said, work is not my No. 1 priority. I don`t think it can come at the expense of your family, your friends and your `significant other` if you have one.
- Anne HathawayAlmost anything makes me laugh, especially jokes at my own expense. And I will never, ever admit to being ticklish anywhere.
- Judd NelsonMy dad worked several jobs to pay for my expense in skating.
- Nancy KerriganStop trying to treat music like it`s a tennis shoe, something to be branded. If the music industry wants to save money, they should take a look at some of their six-figure executive expense accounts. All those lawsuits can`t be cheap, either.
- Jeff TweedyThe men and women who serve in our military have won for us every hour we live in freedom, sometimes at the expense of the very hours of the lifetimes they had hoped to live.
- Bob RileyWe need a representative in Harrisburg who will stand for the hard-working citizens of Pennsylvania and not fatten his own pocketbook at the expense of ours.
- Mark HarrisSmall projects simply cannot justify the expense. Therefore, they will rarely happen without effective public policies in place to support them.
- Sam HallSpare no expense to save money on this one.
- Samuel GoldwynI`m proud of the fact that I got so many people to sit down and watch a story like Before Night Falls even at the expense, I felt, of some of my personal life.
- Javier BardemAlthough we didn`t think the case had much merit, it is an expense and distraction for the city and for John and Mike, ... We are certainly happy that we can put this behind us.
- Bill MuellerWell there are those who think you can only succeed at someone else`s expense.
- Boy GeorgeThere`s good laughter and bad laughter. As long as they`re not laughing at the expense of any of these characters, it`s OK. My films are comedies, but they`re sad comedies and this is the saddest of all.
- Todd SolondzLegislation can neither be wise nor just which seeks the welfare of a single interest at the expense and to the injury of many and varied interests.
- Andrew JohnsonCuban cigars is a big expense because I do smoke a lot of them, eight to 12 a day, so that would be almost as bad as a cocaine habit, a hundred bucks a day.
- Kinky FriedmanThis is when you open five or six different bank accounts, each one for a different expense such as a holiday or car. Each month, via direct debit or standing order, pay in a set amount to these accounts. Then, when you are ready for your summer holiday, the money will be waiting for you.
- Martin LewisWe`re not too far away from the point where we`re going to clash trying to share the Internet space. But we won`t try and break news at the expense of it being the lead story on the 11 o`clock news. They still reach a mass audience.
- Mark DonovanAs a result of increased sales, product mix and expense reductions, second quarter gross margins as a percentage of revenue improved to 39 percent from 35 percent in the second quarter of 2004 and from 32 percent in the first quarter of 2005. We expect gross margin as a percentage of revenue to approximate 40 percent in the second half of 2005. We improved on our second quarter guidance of a loss of $0.08 to $0.09 per share, due mainly to the deferral of previously planned UWB investments until later this year. In addition, we reached our near-term fund raising goal and added further liquidity by obtaining approximately $4.2 million in new equity and debt financing commitments on June 20. With continued focus on managing our balance sheet, including increasing inventory turns and reducing DSOs, we intend to reduce the company`s financing requirements for the fourth quarter.
- Gary WilliamsWe know about the expense issue.
- Jim CampbellWe`re being approached by four parties to do Hurricane Katrina relief. If we could get the government to commit to a reasonable number of buildings, like 5,000, which is a drop in the bucket as to what they need, then we would build a plant (in the storm-affected area) at our own expense, and we would hire and train people from Louisiana and Mississippi to operate it.
- Brian BishopWe know the federal government ultimately will bear much of the expense. But it`s still too early to try to estimate what the overall costs will be and ... how the expenses will be handled.
- Jennifer HarrisThere`s not much I don`t like about (Charles and Dustin). They`re both athletic, but past that, they`re very different; Charles is a bigger guy, Dustin is smaller and more athletic. Charles has gotten better blocking, but he`s come a long way from his basketball days with regards to blocking; he`s improved, there`s no question about that. We think that Dustin is the most improved player on the team. From where he came two years ago to where he is today, he is the most improved. So much so that we believe we need to get him on the field more. Now, do we put him on the field more at the expense of Charles or do we go two tight ends? You`ll find out later on.
- Charles DavisSocial order at the expense of liberty is hardly a bargain.
- Marquis de SadeI think, though, as African-American women, we are always trained to value our community even at the expense of ourselves, and so we attempt to protect the African-American community.
- Anita HillWe thought the discount they gave was worth singing up and it wasn`t any expense to use to do it,
- Elizabeth MooreWe made excellent progress in 2005 by improving our management of the distribution channel, reducing inventories throughout the supply chain and reducing our capital spending and ultimately depreciation expense.
- Mark ThompsonIn-state tuition is a benefit for citizens. These students would be getting a taxpayer benefit at the expense of citizens.
- Susan TullyRiches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things, at the expense of neglecting Christ.
- David WilkersonPersonally, I don`t think it`s needed, ... It doesn`t seem necessary to put that added expense on everyone to get it down to 10 part per billion.
- Larry Wilson"The liberties of our country, the freedoms of our civil Constitution are worth defending at all hazards; it is our duty to defend them against all attacks. We have received them as a fair inheritance from our worthy ancestors. They purchased them for us with toil and danger and expense of treasure and blood. It will bring a mark of everlasting infamy on the present generation '“ enlightened as it is '“ if we should suffer them to be wrested from us by violence without a struggle, or to be cheated out of them by the artifices of designing men." -Samuel Adams
- Sam AdamsDo not pursue what is illusory - property and position: all that is gained at the expense of your nerves decade after decade and can be confiscated in one fell night. Live with a steady superiority over life - don`t be afraid of misfortune, and do not yearn after happiness; it is after all, all the same: the bitter doesn`t last forever, and the sweet never fills the cup to overflowing.
- A.D. MullerPeace is costly, but it is worth the expense.
- Adam GillIn fact, this is a blackmail of the terrorists at the expense of the suffering of the hostages.
- Aidan O'RourkeSlavery is the first step towards civilization. In order to develop it is necessary that things should be much better for some and much worse for others, then those who are better off can develop at the expense of others.
- Aimee LitkaThe international community is pushing things forward in Bosnia... but it is doing it at expense of the Muslim people. I feel it as an injustice, these are the things that I cannot live with.
- Ajar KocharOur military should spare no expense to ensure the safety of our troops, particularly as they confront a hostile insurgency and roadside bombs throughout Iraq.
- Alan K. SimpsonIt was expected of me that I was to bow to the name of Andrew Jackson... even at the expense of my conscience and judgement. such a thing was new to me, and a total stranger to my principles.
- Alan SorensenAltogether apart from that, it would be a disgrace to us to make this bargain with Germany at the expense of France, a disgrace from which the good name of this country would never recover.
- Albert NewgardenNo idea can succeed except at the expense of sacrifice; no one ever escapes without enduring strain from the struggle of life.
- Alejandro CanizaresDo we exert our own liberties without injury to others - we exert them justly; do we exert them at the expense of others - unjustly. And, in thus doing, we step from the sure platform of liberty upon the uncertain threshold of tyranny.
- Alex AlbanyThey will come to learn in the end, at their own expense, that it is better to endure competition for rich customers than to be invested with monopoly over impoverished customers.
- Alex EllisEveryone wants to live at the expense of the state. They forget that the state wants to live at the expense of everyone.
- Alex EllisGovernment is the great fiction, through which everybody endeavors to live at the expense of everybody else.
- Alex EllisThe state is the great fictitious entity by which everyone seeks to live at the expense of everyone else.
- Alex EllisForgiveness is the economy of the heart... forgiveness saves the expense of anger, the cost of hatred, the waste of spirits.
- Alexander CutlerToday, energy prices are at historic highs. Some analysts estimate that energy price shocks this year could cost American consumers more than $40 billion. Speaking very frankly, we cannot afford this kind of expense.
- Ali LaceyIf we move away from the barge traffic, the expense we would have of creating new roads and rail to accommodate this traffic would be daunting.
