Whatever else history may say about me when I`m gone, I hope it will record that I appealed to your best hopes, not your worst fears; to your confidence rather than your doubts. My dream is that you will travel the road ahead with liberty`s lamp guiding your steps and opportunity`s arm steadying your way. Speech at the Republican National Convention, Aug. 17, 1992.
- Ronald Reagan(Of her watching "Bettie Page" pornographic film loops to understand her character in The Notorious Bettie Page (2005)) I love the loops! I couldn`t take my eyes off of them. It was five minutes dedicated to the art of the shoe, and putting the shoe on -- but first the stocking. It was so geisha. There was something so presentational. Bettie was just lost in her own world, dancing around with this fringe bikini on, with this weird lamp on the side table.
- Gretchen MolEmergencies have always been necessary to progress. It was darkness which produced the lamp. It was fog that produced the compass. It was hunger that drove us to exploration. And it took a depression to teach us the real value of a job.
- Victor HugoThere are two types of businesses -- the ones that buy into Microsoft and those that don`t. The people who bought into the Microsoft world probably won`t switch to Mono. The other people -- those using Java or LAMP might do, though.
- Mike RobertsHe uses statistics like a drunk uses lamp-posts, more for support than illumination.
- Romano ProdiMTV is the lava lamp of the 1980`s.
- AB RodriguezI notice increasing reluctance on the part of marketing executives to use judgment; they are coming to rely too much on research, and they use it as a drunkard uses a lamp post for support, rather than for illumination.
- Alan ShawHe came by a leap to the goal of purpose, not by the toilsome steps of reason. On the instant his headlong spirit declared his purpose: this was the one being for him in all the world: at this altar he would light a lamp of devotion, and keep it burning forever.
- Alex RozanskiGenius without religion is only a lamp on the outer gate of a palace; it may serve to cast a gleam of light on those that are without, while the inhabitant sits in darkness.
- Alexander CutlerTell me what you feel in your room when the full moon is shining in upon you and your lamp is dying out, and I will tell you how old you are, and I shall know if you are happy.
- Alexander NikonovImparting knowledge is only lighting other men`s candles at our lamp without depriving ourselves of any flame.
- Ali AbduAn apt quotation is like a lamp which flings its light over the whole sentence.
- Allyson DonnellyExperience is a dim lamp, which only lights the one who bears it.
- Althea TupperAnger is a wind which blows out the lamp of the mind.
- Anders AslundHope is patience with the lamp lit.
- Andrew BaumMy overcoat is worn out; my shirts also are worn out. And I ask to be allowed to have a lamp in the evening; it is indeed wearisome sitting alone in the dark.
- Andrew SaundersThe power technology in lamps and windshield wipers today are really quite sophisticated. It is under the control of the microcontroller, which tells it how much power to allow. Rather than just turn on, it says `I know this load on this lamp to be 4A,` and if the load exceeds that value, the lamp will turn off immediately. A traditional relay control would just turn it on, despite the short, and would burn up. Then you would have to buy all kinds of expensive pieces instead of replacing a bulb or a small wire.
- Aritha Van HerkMy partner turned around and said, `That car is driving at a terrible speed. I bet you anything when we get up there it`s wrapped around a lamp post`. When we came up and saw the body that was it. It just really tore us apart.
- Attorney Christopher MoranoI believe talent is like electricity. We don`t understand electricity. We use it. You can plug into it and light up a lamp, keep a heart pump going, light a cathedral, or you can electrocute a person with it. Electricity will do all that. It makes no
